Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Li Qiong also saw Chen Zhao and took the initiative to come forward.

"Chen Zhao, why are you here?"

"Um...I'm the teacher here."

"Your teacher?" Li Qiong looked at Chen Zhao in shock.

She had heard that Chen Zhao was a teacher before.

Then she used her imagination.

She felt that Chen Zhao was either a primary school teacher or a middle school teacher.

Of course, this is also combined with Chen Zhao's academic performance in high school.

At that time, Chen Zhao and Li Qiong had similar results.

They all belong to the category of people who are not as good as those above and have more than enough than those below.

Therefore, she never believed that Chen Zhao was a lecturer in the university.

And it’s the University of Los Angeles, which is very famous.

After all, I have lived here for more than ten years.

Therefore, Li Qiong is relatively familiar with American universities.

Generally speaking, ordinary lecturers in universities are assistant professors. In fact, they are also called teaching assistants in China.

However, teaching assistants at American University are on a contract basis and may be fired at any time.

To become a tenured associate professor here, you need to have published at least one book in a related subject.

Generally, it is published by a university press, and professional professors are responsible for reviewing the manuscripts.

As long as you become an associate professor, you will be awesome, and the school cannot expel you without justifiable reasons.

Therefore, universities are filled with a large number of associate professors, and many of them are elderly.

In China, people retire after reaching a certain age, but in the United States, as long as an associate professor is unwilling to retire, the school cannot expel him or her.

Because retirement means lower income, the income of associate professors is very high.

Of course, in order to obtain the title of full professor, you need to achieve research results in at least one aspect.

And those who are recognized by the school, such as Chen Zhao, a special talent, hold the title of full professor.

The income of a full professor is several times, or even more than ten times, that of an ordinary teaching assistant.

Full professors are allowed to mess around with the school's funds. They take a few classes on weekdays and do scientific research in the laboratory when they don't want to go to class. Moreover, there is no hard and fast rule that they must study Meridian Maolai.

Of course, school funds are not spent casually.

If there is research with economic benefits and the possibility of research, the school will strongly support it.

If it is just a fantasy, and you deceive the school once, you may not be able to deceive the school a second time.

Chen Zhao doesn't like this kind of salary. After all, treating a disease for a wealthy person is basically equivalent to a professor's annual income.

Of course, Li Qiong just thought that Chen Zhao was an ordinary lecturer and didn't think further.

After hearing that Chen Zhao was the teacher here, Li Qiong couldn't help but look up to Chen Zhao.

"Why are you here?"

"My sister, she is a student here." Li Qiong said.

Chen Zhao turned his head and glanced at the girl standing behind Li Qiong.

She looks a bit like Li Qiong, but taller.

The girl seemed a little reluctant, with displeasure written all over her face.

"By the way, do you know where Professor Hill Nandez's office is?"

"In the teachers' office building in front, Hill Nandez's office should be on the third floor. I forgot which room it is. You can go there and ask."

"Okay, thank you. I won't disturb you anymore. Let's go out to eat together when you have time."

"OK, bye."

Li Qiong took her sister to find Hill Nandez's office.

"Hello, Professor Nandez, I am Li Mu's sister."

Hill Nandez raised his head and adjusted his glasses: "Please sit down."

"Professor Nandez, I hope you can revoke the punishment against my sister. I think she has realized her mistake, and I hope you can give her a chance to change her ways."

"Ms. Li, I'm afraid I can't agree. Your sister was absent from school for more than a month without asking for leave from the school, which caused the school to call the police. Your sister has caused extremely troublesome problems to the school, so I think you My sister is no longer suitable to attend our school."

"Professor Nandez, do you hope that a girl's life will be ruined because of one mistake?"

"Ms. Li, I hope you understand that she is an adult and she has the ability and must take responsibility for her faults."

"But she is only twenty-one years old."

"Ms. Li, I don't understand what questions you have. You are already an adult at the age of twenty-one. Is it true that in your home country, you are still a child at the age of twenty-one? Your Chinese education method is really strange."

Knock knock——

Hill Nandez looked up and found Chen Zhao standing at the door.

"Hill Nandez, I hope you can explain what you said, otherwise, I will sue you for racial discrimination in court."

"Um... Mr. Chen, I... that... I didn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean? I'm all ears." Chen Zhao stood there with his arms crossed and looked at Hill Nandez.

Li Qiong looked at Chen Zhao in shock, not expecting Chen Zhao to come.

"Okay, I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. I apologize to you for my inappropriate choice of words. I'm sorry."

"You should say sorry to them."

"I'm sorry, Miss Li, I apologize for my offense." Hill Nandez said.

Chen Zhao walked into the office: "Do you mind if I listen?"

"Of course I don't mind. After all, you are also a professor at the medical school."

Li Qiong's eyes widened, even more incredible.

She had heard from domestic high school classmates that Chen Zhao was admitted to a medical university when he was in China.

But she didn't expect that Chen Zhao was now a professor of medicine at the University of Los Angeles.

How old is Chen Zhao?

It should take at most three years to graduate from school, right?

In her inherent impression, shouldn't the professor be that kind of gray-haired old man?

Is Chen Zhao too young?

"I want to know what happened." Chen Zhao looked at Li Qiong and her sister.

"Li Mu has been absent from school for a month." Li Qiong said.

"Mr. Chen, I think you should also know that this kind of serious truancy is not allowed in school."

Chen Zhao looked at Li Mu: "Classmate Li, why don't you explain where you have been this month?"

Li Mu hesitated for a moment and said: "I originally took a week's vacation from school and went to Alaska with my classmates. However, due to heavy snowfall, the mountains were closed, and then the military arrived, and we were placed under martial law. Vistana, I, As well as more than 30 tourists, all were restricted from leaving the snow-capped mountains for ten days. Then the military found out that we were medical students and asked us to stay and act as temporary military doctors."

Chen Zhao and Hill Nandez looked at each other, and Hill Nandez asked doubtfully: "If that's the case, why didn't you tell me before?"

"I didn't expect that I would be fired, and I wasn't sure if it involved military secrets." Li Mu said.
