Jiang Yuzhu slightly frowned, as she had never been fond of formal social events.
She kindly but firmly declined the invitation, "I truly appreciate everyone's good intentions, but I would rather maintain my daily work rhythm. A simple dinner is enough for me, and I hope to join everyone as a common colleague."
The dean, upon hearing Jiang Yuzhu's words, showed a hint of appreciation in his smile. He nodded in support of her attitude, "Dr. Jiang, your humility is admirable. Indeed, you've put on no airs at all."
Jiang Yuzhu offered a slight smile, yet confusion lingered in her mind.
She didn't quite understand why the dean and other academicians were so enthusiastic in their attitude towards her.
In her mind, she pondered, "Could it be that their expectations for me are too high? I am just here to do my job."
Curiosity and a slight anxiety about the future filled her heart.
