Tan Heqian was outrightly scorned, seeing He Zhilan fix attention on the professor who just walked in, he also lost the heart to continue the chat.
The professor who taught English was a woman, He Zhilan had heard, the professor had lived abroad in her early years, and only later moved back to China to teach at Capital University.
The professor’s English had a distinct British accent, her speech, neither rushed nor slow, was very pleasant to listen to.
He Zhilan took notes very swiftly.
Her study method was established from a young age, her mind was nimble, she was able to take notes quickly while silently mimicking the professor’s accent, treating it as a kind of oral practice.
He Zhilan and Tan Heqian had dinner together at the first dining hall.
After the meal, when Tan Heqian heard He Zhilan was going to the library, he sprinted away rapidly.
Currently unable to find a part-time job, He Zhilan could only use her time for studying.
For some unknown reason, the library was quite empty and silent at this moment.
He Zhilan sat alone at a long table, facing her, were three third-year female students, one of them, a short-haired girl, even had a library work badge pinned on her clothes.
Despite holding books, they were clearly not there to read, but instead, whispered in hushed voices amongst themselves.
The three of them spoke freely, not caring at all about how He Zhilan, who was sitting across from them, felt.
Therefore, He Zhilan couldn’t be blamed for eavesdropping on their conversation.
Hearing the short-haired girl talk about her boyfriend feeling ashamed of her part-time job at the library, thus she was considering quitting, He Zhilan slightly raised her eyebrows.
Her first reaction was that a guy who was embarrassed by his girlfriend’s legitimate part-time job was unreliable.
After scoffing a few times in her heart, she then realized, if this girl quit her job, wouldn’t there be a job opening at the library?
Instantly, He Zhilan packed up her books and left.
After returning the books back to their original place, she bypassed rows of long bookshelves heading towards the management desk.
The library’s manager was inside, she had been here a few times and recognized the forty-something woman with glasses.
“Hello, may I ask, do you need any part-time students here?” The girl hadn’t quit yet, so He Zhilan couldn’t tell the manager that someone might quit soon.
As expected, the manager glanced at He Zhilan and shook her head, “No need at the moment.”
He Zhilan quickly took out a pen and paper, wrote down her dormitory address, phone number, and her name, then handed it to the manager, gently saying, “Could you please keep my contact information?
If there is a need in the future, please contact me.”
He Zhilan’s attitude was very good, even her tone was polite and just right, which made the manager have no reason to refuse her note and accept it.
After finishing this, He Zhilan didn’t go back to reading.
Considering the clothes she had changed out of yesterday, she decided to simply go back to the dormitory to wash them and then get some early rest.
At the same time, she prayed in her heart that the girl would quit her job sooner.
The income from part-time jobs at school is generally not very high, but He Zhilan had just arrived in the capital and didn’t know much about the place.
The school was undoubtedly the safest place, if she could get a part-time job in the library, at least she could survive this semester.
It’s better for her to stay at school than wandering around in the capital.
