Chapter 478 He’s an Alien, Right!

• Ingrid’s nerves lit up like a fire at her brow. This guy, seriously! He’s gonna blow it, isn’t he? The school leaders, professors, and lecturers in the room all stared at Henrik Jansson, baffled. “What’s this young man doing?” “He doesn’t actually think he’s Professor Zhao, does he?” “He looks like one of our students. Did he come to make a scene?” In everyone’s mind, anyone called a professor had to be at least in their forties or fifties. Even though Miss Elin had said in advance that this Professor Zhao was very young, people figured that was only relative. Compared to someone in their fifties, a person in their thirties or forties could count as young, right? Don’t tell them a professor in his twenties—that’s just nonsense. With that fixed mindset, not a single person believed Henrik Jansson was the Professor Zhao Miss Elin had mentioned. At that moment, Chen Tao and Peng Yunmeng also spotted Henrik. They traded looks, confused and stunned. “What’s he doing here? He doesn’t think Principal Jiang is hiring him as a visiting professor, does he?” “Has he lost his mind? Think any random guy named Zhao is a professor? Ha! If he dares to mess around here, not even a saint can save this loser now!” Just like Peng Yunmeng predicted, Henrik’s “messing around” fired up the school leaders present. A director in charge of campus discipline stood up. “You there, what department are you from? Step down, now!” He pointed at Henrik, voice stern. “She called me up, so of course I’m going,” Henrik said calmly. “Hey, you—” The director, fuming, moved to pull Henrik off the stage. But right then, Qin Yi stood up first. He clapped and greeted him with a smile. “Good to see you, Professor Zhao!” Right after, the group of professors and experts who had worked side by side with Henrik for more than half a month rose to their feet. “Hello, Professor Zhao.” “Congratulations, Professor Zhao.” The whole hall reeled. Only then did everyone have to accept that this young man who looked like a student was actually the medical school’s soon-to-be visiting professor at Enver University. This wasn’t just young. This was ridiculously young. The leaders and senior academics present had lived their whole lives and never seen anything like this. Ingrid watched Henrik walk onto the stage, shake hands with Miss Elin, and launch into easy, confident talk. She covered her mouth, disbelief flooding her clear eyes. Henrik Jansson was really—really—being hired as a visiting professor at the medical school?! How did he pull that off? This… this was wild. Jiang Xue’er and Xu Youni both wore blank, dazed looks. If Henrik hadn’t already shocked them several times, one of them might’ve fainted right there. What kind of joke was this? A guy only a few years older than they were was suddenly on the same level as the veteran professors in their field?! What was he—a monster? Xu Youni gazed dreamily at Henrik on the stage and whispered to Jiang Xue’er, “Xue’er, your brother-in-law… is he even human?” Jiang Xue’er shook her head, still stunned. “I’m not sure. Maybe… he’s an alien.” Off to the side, Chen Tao and Peng Yunmeng sat with faces drained of color, jaws gaping wide enough to fit three duck eggs. Henrik Jansson? A visiting professor?! No matter how they tried, they couldn’t connect those two phrases. They’d rather believe in someone dying and coming back than believe something this absurd. Yet that absurd scene sat right before them, all too real, close enough to touch. Peng Yunmeng felt her heart drop. If that’s how it is… then it’s not about me getting back at Henrik. It’s— I’d better watch out for Henrik’s revenge now.
