Chapter 158
Management Information System was a thick book, as big as an A4 paper, thicker than a finger joint, Xiao Qi finished reading it last night during self-study, and left it directly in the classroom without taking it back.
It wasn't that she was afraid it was too heavy, but rather her schoolbag couldn't fit it in, it was about the size of a notebook.
University students don't seem to like carrying schoolbags, students like Xiao Qi who properly carried schoolbags were rare.
When the bell for the second class rang, in came a fat man, also relatively old, definitely older than Teacher Wei who just left.
He was dressed rather casually, slippers, shorts, large T-shirt, he seemed to dislike heat a lot, came in wiping the sweat on his forehead with a tissue.
The teacher had a very high forehead, probably because he was a little bald, as soon as he came in and spoke, the class burst out laughing.
"My surname is Bie, you guys can call me Teacher Bie."
He wrote a big "Bai" on the blackboard...
Teacher Bai had a heavy accent, after sitting down, he didn't start teaching directly like the English teacher, but chatted with everyone first, the whole classroom burst into cheerful laughter.
Xiao Qi couldn't help laughing too, this Teacher Bai was so humorous, matched with his fat figure, and exceptionally agile actions, he said he was from Beihu Province.
"I don't know if you guys have adapted to the school after enrolling, I had a really hard time adapting when I first came, one serving of fries was enough for one bite for me, we eat potato shreds in Beihu, a large plate, and the noodles here are so small, I can eat several bowls and still not be full, the hot dry noodles we have, I reckon would take several people here to finish..."
"The aroma of hot dry noodles, dipping sauce, sesame, a bowl of hot dry noodles, a bowl of spicy soup in the morning, heavenly."
As Teacher Bai spoke, he seemed to even swallow his saliva, it was about time for lunch, and not few students were hungry, their stomachs growled from his description. He chatted about local customs from different places.
Unknowingly, it shortened the distance between them, making them feel Teacher Bai was one of them.
He chatted for most of the class, leaving less than 10 minutes, then let everyone open their books.
Xiao Qi felt very relaxed, and felt this Teacher Bai was probably better than Teacher Wei earlier, then the teacher let everyone take a look at the book first, after reading for a while, class was over, they would start teaching next class.
After the break when they returned, during class, the teacher chatted about many amusing and interesting things with everyone again, and even made fun of his own bald head, saying a sunset and sunrise picture could be painted on it, the whole class burst out laughing.
Only half of the class time was left for teaching, actually nothing was taught, everyone looked forward to going to eat lunch, hungry to the point of growling stomachs.
Mainly because Teacher Bai described all kinds of food in lifelike detail.
Teacher Bai turned on the projector in the classroom, PPT slides, a bunch of very professional data, matching the content of the first lesson, for everyone to read themselves and ask him if they don't understand, he was very amiable, not just sitting at the lectern the whole time, walking around every now and then.
Xiao Qi did read, but didn't know what to ask, because the teacher had already walked to the back of the classroom, and started chatting happily with the group of noisy boys in the previous class, cheerful laughter sounded again from the back of the classroom.
Finally class was over, Xiao Qi felt a little confused, she felt like she didn't learn anything at all, but looking at others being very happy, could university lectures be like this?
Luckily university classes seemed to alternate, after they were dismissed for lunch, the two classes next door didn't have anyone, it was said Class 2 of Information Management only had one class in the morning, and didn't have a second class. It was said Class 3 of Information Management had class at the Experimental Building.
At least when going for meals, there wouldn't be huge crowds of people, which gave a very crowded feeling.
Xiao Qi and her three roommates still went to the cafeteria, they hadn't tried the Western restaurant yet, there were afternoon classes later, and the prices didn't seem cheap after passing by and taking a look.
After eating lunch they went back to the dorm to rest, they still couldn't help discussing Teacher Bai, feeling that he was very funny and humorous.
After the afternoon break, a group of people got up earlier than usual, those slightly late rushed over, because they had to go to the Experimental Building for class, it was truly quite far from the old district dorms to the Experimental Building, and bikes were not allowed on campus, only teachers could ride them.
Apart from all kinds of ads at the entrance of the dorm area, there were also all sorts of notices criticizing and naming names, making these new students err on the side of well-behaved, everyone walked over by themselves.
Class was at 2:30, they went out at 1:30, it took at least half an hour walking over, but the scenery was beautiful, passing rows of classroom buildings in the old district, the auditorium, the big sports field, the student union building, specialized basketball and tennis courts, flagpoles with the national flag and school flag flying proudly all along the way. Clear skies as far as the eye could see.
When they arrived at the designated classroom in the Experimental Building, the new students very consciously sat in the seats according to the classroom seating, when they became familiar later, they would know the foreign teacher Betty didn't take attendance much, sitting randomly was fine too.
Xiao Qi really envied Wei Cheng and Yun Shu beside the window, the seats by the window on this side of the Experimental Building had a view of the lake, very beautiful scenery.
After everyone sat down, it was a little noisy, each table had earphones, Xiao Qi curiously picked them up to try, no sound came out.
When the bell for class rang, Teacher Betty finally appeared, the entire classroom quieted down as soon as she appeared.
Perhaps most students in the class were like Xiao Qi, never having the experience of being taught by a foreign teacher before.
Betty had blonde hair, standing at the lectern she started smiling, very pretty when smiling, probably not very old, because foreigners generally looked mature, Betty wore a floral dress ending at the knees, with a handmade rope belt around her waist, she had a great figure, very full bosom, probably the only one in the class who could compare with Betty's chest was Xiao Qi's deskmate Honey, but Betty's chest was probably even bigger, because although her dress had a round neckline, it also had a V-cut at the chest, appearing plump and looming.
Not only were the girls curious and looking over the teacher, the boys in the back were even more excited.
Such a voluptuous blonde, young foreign teacher probably had an even bigger impact on the testosterone-filled freshmen, some boys even whistled.
Betty didn't know Chinese, started with English as soon as she came in, but still said "Hello" when greeting them.
Everyone felt very amiable.
Xiao Qi also felt very happy, especially since the teacher didn't know Chinese, teaching entirely in English, even if nothing was taught, like the fat man Teacher Bai in the morning, just chatting, their English would improve greatly in this environment.
In this setting, everyone could only speak English, even if it was clumsy and poor, they dared to speak boldly.
When class officially started, Xiao Qi discovered that not only was Betty beautiful, she was also very professional, her English was very pleasant to listen to, she taught very comprehensibly and accessibly, not difficult at all, the English Xiao Qi learned was still largely exam-oriented English in China, but in front of Betty, she just wanted to speak.
Moreover, Xiao Qi noticed her deskmate Honey had very good linguistic sense, although she made some mistakes, she was very bold and dared to speak. Xiao Qi originally still felt rather proud, having crammed on English the whole summer, feeling her English was pretty good, only now discovering that there were things to learn from the people around her. She had the language sense, but was far from having Honey's bold spirit of daring to speak and not fearing mistakes, the more you speak, the better you get.
Xiao Qi was very active in this class, and was still a little reluctant to leave when school was over. Fortunately, she had a helpful deskmate who was the first to rush up and add the teacher on WeChat. Miele also brought her along to add the teacher too.
Xiao Qi also praised the teacher for having very beautiful shoes and hair.
Betty generously smiled and said, "My hair is dyed. I'm actually golden brown. You're a pretty girl, like a black-haired angel."
She had wanted to compliment the teacher, but instead was praised by the teacher, and Xiao Qi's face turned red.
