The dean's office.
Brodie was sitting at the desk. At this time, the office door was opened. Annie walked in with Casey. After seeing them, Brodie quickly put down what was on hand and stood up with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Casey, it's a great honor for you to be a visiting professor in our School. Do you have time this afternoon? I plan to hold a meeting in the school to introduce you," Brodie said, looking at Casey.
Casey smiled at Brodie and said, "I don't like crowded occasions. You don't have to introduce me to them. They will know who I am when the time comes."
Hearing Casey saying this, Brodie didn't persuade him again. Then he glanced at Annie on the side and said, "Annie, show Mr. Davies around his office first, and arrange an abode for him by the way."
Annie nodded immediately.
Brodie looked at Casey again and said, "Mr. Davies, I still have some work and can't go away, so for the time being, I can only let Annie accompany you to you to get familiar with the situation of the school. We can't compete with the rich. Please forgive me if there's anything wrong with hospitality."
"You are too polite. I'm not a troublesome person. Please take you time, I will let Annie lead me to get familiar, you don't need to worry about the rest," Casey said.
"Mr. Davies, you are really a gentleman." Brodie looked at Casey with admiration.
Then Annie took Casey and left the dean's office. They went to the office Brodie arranged for Casey.
The area of this office was very large, almost catching up with the dean's office. This was an office specially prepared by the School of History for full-time professors at Fudan University. Brodie assigned this office to Casey, which showed that he had attached great importance to Casey.
"Mr. Davies, if you are not satisfied with the layout here, just tell me, I will help you decorate it the way you want." Annie was still a bit shy while staying in the office with Casey alone.
"No, that's fine. I won't spend too much time in the office," Casey said.
Annie was stunned for a moment. She was thinking that Casey would stay in the office when he was free as a visiting professor, so that she could come in contact with Casey more in the name of consulting Casey.
Now that Casey said that he would not stay in the office often, Annie couldn't help but feel a little lost.
'However, it is normal. It is good enough that Mr. Davies come to a public class when he has time. How could he stay in the office forever?' Annie thought.
"Mr. Davies, your first public class is scheduled for next Monday. I will inform you in advance. If you need to prepare something, please tell me and I will prepare it for you," Annie continued speaking.
Casey nodded.
Both of them were silent for a few seconds, and Annie suddenly felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say to Casey for a while.
"Then... Then let me take you to your residence. I asked a classmate to help you find a house to live," after a while, Annie said.
Casey nodded and followed Annie out of the office. As soon as the they arrived in the corridor outside, they ran into Andrews who came out to get water.
Seeing Casey and Annie coming out of the professor's office, Andrews was stunned for a moment. Then when he saw Annie's face flushed, a trace of jealousy arose in his heart again.
"Annie, what are you going to do in the professor's office? I don't remember which professor is assigned to here yet?" Andrews asked.
His dream was to become a professor in the school of history. He always thought that the Dean left the vacant office for him.
He feels that he was very likely to become an associate professor when he was thirty years old, and then this office would become his.
