Qiutian gripped the already disconnected phone in his hand, stunned for a while, unable to react.
He had always been treated with great courtesy among the parents of the students, no one had ever spoken to him with such discourtesy, let alone rudely hanging up on him first.
But before he could muster enough anger, the next call from the dean had already arrived.
On his desk, another ornate landline phone began to ring-ding.
It was the dean's office private line.
Qiutian might be sharp-tongued with others, but his demeanor softened a great deal when facing the dean.
Not only because the dean was the one who had promoted him, without the dean, he's likely still be a small, insignificant, down-and-out teacher.
There were also recent hints that the dean was considering stepping down, and among several strong candidates for deputy dean, he was the one most valued by the dean and also the most likely to be elected as the next dean.
