The dean’s contemplative gaze fell on He Yishu for a long while before he spoke solemnly, “If you have indeed made such a decision, then no matter which way you go about it, I would be delighted.”
If the First Academy really successfully opened the Han Character Rune card major, then he would become the only academy in the entire Interstellar Empire to have this major, which would undoubtedly be a huge gain for the First Academy’s reputation.
And from the perspective of personal interest, being able to cooperate with He Yishu to open such a major was also definitely beneficial to the dean.
Thinking of all this, the dean’s eyes shone brightly, with a very obvious excitement flickering within.
“I have indeed made such a decision, and if the dean is willing to cooperate with me, we can now further discuss the specific matters regarding the opening of the Han character rune card major.” He Yishu’s mouth hung with a touch of an idle smile, and his tone of voice was also slow and leisurely. “But there’s one thing that I might have to make it clear in advance: if this major can really be opened up, it may not be able to accept only trainees within certain age groups like the other majors, and Marshal Arman may also be very interested in this specialization.”
Arman’s attitude clearly represented the attitude of the military towards this matter, and besides the military, the people who would be interested in Han character rune cards throughout the entire interstellar empire were definitely not in the minority, and they were spread out across all age groups and in all kinds of professions, and all of these were enough to show that the Han character rune card major differed from the others.
The dean’s thoughts continued to stretch outward in such a direction, but it didn’t make him feel troubled or have the intention to retreat; instead, it made him even more excited.
Such a different and extraordinarily charismatic major was about to appear in the first academy and would only exist in the first academy, and just thinking about it made the dean somewhat unable to control his emotions.
The dean took a deep breath and tried his best to appear more calm and composed: “He Yishu, thank you for being willing to give me and the first academy such an opportunity, for which I am extremely grateful.”
He Yishu smiled and waved his hand: “Dean is too polite; as I said before, you will be duly rewarded for what you have done.”
“Then,” the dean slowly extended his right hand towards He Yishu, his attitude looking particularly solemn, “I hope we can work together happily.”
“Happy cooperation.” He Yishu shook the dean’s hand back.
A cooperation that was about to affect the entire interstellar empire was officially opened, and then He Yishu began to be a handful: “Since I really don’t know much about how to quickly and perfectly set up a specialty, I’ll have to trouble the dean with this matter, but if there’s anything I can do to help, dean, please be sure to let me know.”
The two of them sat down again; the dean didn’t seem to notice He Yishu’s shirking attitude. After pondering for a moment, he directly gave him a task: “The environment, equipment, and other problems of the Han character rune card specialty can be left to me to solve, but there is one thing I’m afraid that only you are able to do: any major needs a corresponding course and a team of teachers.”
This problem could only be solved by He Yishu, so even though he wanted to hide on the side and be lazy, he had to accept this task: “Don’t worry, Dean, leave this matter to me.”
The dean nodded and spoke of another issue: “Likewise, no matter what the major is, it needs a qualified leader, and I feel that this position is likewise yours.”
Although He Yishu’s current age was less than nineteen and the First Academy had never had a professional leader under thirty, his personal reputation, as well as his professionalism, was far superior to anyone else.
Most importantly, it was also only He Yishu who was best suited to become the leader of this major
“But I… ” He Yishu felt a bit embarrassed; although the dean’s words made sense, he really just wanted to be a hands-off leader and didn’t want to tire himself out that much.
Of course, the main thing was that he really didn’t know much about this area; even if he was really put in charge, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to do it well.
As if he could see He Yishu’s thoughts, the dean thoughtfully assured him, “Being a professional leader won’t be too time consuming, as there will be a lot of staff members dealing with all aspects of the issue under you.”
“In that case, then okay.” The dean had said so, so He Yishu had no reason to continue refusing.
After determining these two key issues, the dean still wanted to pull He Yishu to continue discussing some specialized issues, but was rejected by He Yishu with a smile, “It’s better to leave the specialized issues to the professionals; I won’t get involved blindly.”
Although the dean was very excited, he understood that He Yishu really had little interest in this, so he didn’t force him: “Regarding the construction of the Han character rune card major, if you have any questions, you can contact me at any time.”
“I will; I’ll go back first.” He Yishu smiled and said goodbye to the dean.
After returning to his apartment, He Yishu took the initiative to contact those seventeen people that he had selected and were about to participate in the Han character rune card study according to the original plan.
The reason why it was seventeen instead of twenty was because the remaining three people were Adrian, Qiao An, and a member of the military department arranged by Arman.
These seventeen people could still follow the previous plan, but now He Yishu gave them a new option: if they were willing, they could become teachers for the soon-to-be-established Han character rune card program.
He Yishu didn’t rush to let them give an answer; he just told them in detail about the current situation. While letting them think carefully, he also reminded them to keep this matter a secret for the time being; after all, everything was just starting now.
When He Yishu finished this matter, Adrian happened to come back, and then he brought news that made He Yishu feel apprehensive: “Baby, just now my mother contacted me, hoping to invite you to the house as a guest. What do you think?”
He Yishu actually didn’t feel good; he vaguely remembered that at the beginning, Adrian’s mother seemed to be hoping that her son could be with Elisa.
But since he was going to go on with Adrian, it was impossible to ignore his family forever, especially since this person was also Adrian’s own mother.
So even though he was sighing in his heart, He Yishu still smiled and said, “It’s me who was too negligent; I really should have visited Auntie a long time ago, but… why did Auntie choose to see me at this time?”
“It’s not your problem; in fact, it’s me who intentionally didn’t want you and my mother to meet too early, before, my mother hinted at it a few times, but it was stonewalled by me.” Adrian knew his mother better than He Yishu and naturally knew very well how much his mother wanted him to be with Elisa in the beginning.
Although later Elisa’s behavior made his mother realize her problem, Adrian wasn’t able to guarantee that this matter wouldn’t have any adverse effects on his mother’s impression of He Yishu, “But now that Mother has taken the initiative to come here, I’m sure that she would love to see you, and she should have already approved of you, so you don’t need to worry too much, and with me around, I absolutely won’t let you suffer any wrongdoing.”
Adrian’s assurances had always been very strong, so He Yishu’s mood instantly improved a lot: “Then, when would be a more appropriate time for us to pay a visit?”
Adrian had considered this question before, so he directly said, “Do you think it’s okay for this weekend?”
“Of course it’s fine, but before that, do we need to make any preparations?” Usually, when you visit someone for the first time, you need to prepare a gift very carefully, right? Especially since He Yishu was paying a visit as Adrian’s lover.
Adrian, who also had no experience in this area, hadn’t considered this point before, and only after being reminded by He Yishu did he seriously think about it, and then gave his suggestion with uncertainty: “Mother usually likes to drink coffee, so maybe we can bring some coffee, and she’s also very interested in clothes, but I don’t know much about women’s clothes, or we can buy her some skin care stuff; of course, nutritional supplements can also be considered.”
“Then let’s buy more things; buy everything you can think of.” He Yishu waved his hand trenchantly. Anyway, he had plenty of money now; he could buy whatever he wanted, as much as he wanted.
After all, with so much money, if he didn’t spend it vigorously now, he probably wouldn’t be able to spend it all in his life. Thinking about it was still a bit sad.
Adrian was amused by He Yishu’s proud expression. He rubbed his head, and said, “I’ll listen to you.”
So on Saturday, the two of them brought a spaceship full of things to Adrian’s home. Looking at the so many things he bought, He Yishu was a little worried: “With so many things, we won’t be bringing them all out.”
Was he going to carry all these things in front of Adrian’s mother?
Adrian thoughtfully reminded: “Don’t worry, we can leave this to the robots at home; of course, if you want to carry these gifts in by hand, I can also do it with you.”
“No, I have no such intention.” He Yishu, who noticed that his intelligence was a bit lacking in certain areas, decided to obediently keep his mouth shut.
However, in order to prevent He Yishu from feeling nervous, Adrian still pulled him along the way for a lot of small talk.
On the way, He Yishu didn’t feel nervous until he actually stood in front of Adrian’s house. He Yishu finally felt a hint of nervousness.
The reason why Adrian’s mother had taken the initiative to invite him as a guest—could it be that she had set up a Hongmen banquet, wanting to deliberately find trouble with him? Or was she simply trying to use this opportunity to separate him and Adrian?
If such a thing really happened, then should he just lift his chin, twist his head and proudly walk away, or drag Adrian along to elope? Or maybe he could…
Just as He Yishu couldn’t help but think wildly, the thick door in front of him was suddenly opened from the inside.
