445.1 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System
### Chapter 445: Schemes and Plots by Lin Xiangdong (2/2) Everyone knows the saying "the water that belongs to a family shouldn't flow to the fields outside." Su Qi is such a talented person; if she were poached by outsiders, Lin Xiangdong, as the principal, would feel disgraced. After chatting casually with Su Qi for a while, Principal Lin Xiangdong straightforwardly asked, "Su Qi, are you interested in becoming a university teaching assistant intern?" Upon hearing the demon principal's words, Su Qi was taken aback. Frankly, she didn't quite understand what exactly a teaching assistant does, let alone why it needed the title "intern." However, her current focus was purely on making money, and she didn't want to be tied down by miscellaneous matters. Su Qi quickly dismissed the proposal. Lin Xiangdong was unfazed by her refusal, as it was within his expectations. Ever since the whole affair with Xiao Xiao ended, Lin Xiangdong had realized that Su Qi had matured. Although she still didn't quite measure up to that student council president, she at least knew how to make demands. Pausing for a few seconds, Lin Xiangdong continued to lure her, "Don’t rush to refuse. The work of an intern teaching assistant isn’t tiring at all. It mostly involves substituting classes when the university teacher is unavailable, and it even comes with a little salary. Plus, if you become a teaching assistant, any classes you miss will be given flexible arrangements by the school!" Su Qi wasn't particularly moved by the initial offer. After all, even the highest salary pales in comparison to her current income. However, the latter part piqued her interest because she really couldn't attend classes regularly now. But if she skipped classes, she’d have to constantly trouble her old friend, Wu Liang, which she felt a bit guilty about. Lin Xiangdong, being the seasoned veteran he is, instantly sensed that Su Qi was weighing her options upon hearing the short silence on the other end of the line. He seized the opportunity to list more benefits, such as guaranteeing her admission to postgraduate and doctoral programs at the university, and assisting her with enrolling in the teacher qualification exams. Listening to his enticing narrative, still groggy from after-dinner drowsiness, Su Qi hazily agreed to Lin Xiangdong’s offer. After hanging up, Su Qi felt dizzy, and as she lay in bed, she soon fell asleep again. At 5 PM, after a long day, Wang Zijin returned home. Upon hearing her husband recount his phone conversation with Principal Lin, she couldn’t help but think their principal was incredibly cunning! Why did Wang Zijin think this? Because she knew, given her husband's intelligence, continuing onto postgraduate and doctoral studies was certain. As for Su Qi? Yes, she is very capable, but she isn’t the crème de la crème. Lin Xiangdong's promise of guaranteed admission was essentially locking Su Qi into staying at Su University. Not to mention that typically, even teaching assistants start from postgraduate or doctoral levels, often with an emphasis on research achievements. Although Su Qi hasn't even graduated from college and lacks a university diploma, the predictions she makes on her little blackboard outperform many financial doctorate holders' "research outcomes." After all, that is real wealth-making knowledge. Looking at it from this perspective, it makes sense for her to be an intern teaching assistant. Some might say it’s unorthodox! Knowing the workings of the system, Wang Zijin understood. As long as Su Qi doesn’t explicitly claim she is a teaching assistant, who at such a large institution would concern themselves with one more teaching assistant position? Moreover, if anyone inquires about why Su Qi is substituting? The school would have a fitting excuse, saying it’s to satisfy the requests from online followers. And after becoming a 'teaching assistant,' it logically follows into becoming a teacher or professor, which would perfectly tie her husband to Su University. Wang Zijin could only admire Principal Lin’s deft maneuvers. Everything else was still explainable, but the suggestion about the teacher qualification certification was a game-changer. Wang Zijin could ascertain that Principal Lin had planned this long ago. Considering that throughout September, her husband hadn’t mentioned any registration for such an exam. Now Lin Xiangdong claims he will handle it, but it's not as if a single college principal can alter directives from the Education Ministry. What Lin Xiangdong meant by handling it could only mean one thing. He had used his role on behalf of the school to pre-register Su Qi for the teacher qualification exam. Doesn’t this indirectly imply that Lin Xiangdong had foreseen all this? Watching her husband’s innocent eyes sparkle and speak eagerly of not needing to attend classes anymore, Wang Zijin, as his wife, chose not to reveal the fact that her husband had been manipulated. Instead, she decided to treat it as a benevolent lie. > **Friendly Reminder**: If you enjoy this book, to avoid losing track of it next time, remember to add it to your bookshelf!
