CHAPTER 536 PUBLIC LESSON
On Monday, in the School of History of Fudan University.
The visiting professor being invited by the dean personally to the History School had been buzzing in
the school. If it was in other schools, it might just be a normal thing, but in the History School, the
arrival of the visiting professor was a matter of great importance.
Because Brodie, the dean of the School of History, had never invited anyone to be a visiting professor
in so many years, and when Brodie was giving a lecture, he often told his students that the so-called
famous historians in society were not qualified to come to their school to be a visiting professor.
The only one who could win Brodie’s respect was Mr. Brown, a real master in the treasure appraisal
field.
So, Brodie’s invitation of someone from the society to be the visiting professor of the School of History
surprised everyone, and the one who was invited had been confirmed not to be Mr. Brown, so
everyone was full of curiosity about the invited visiting professor.
Just a few days ago, there was a rumor in the school that this so-called visiting professor was to spent Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
money to gild himself. A teacher in the History School got to know the visiting professor and thought
that this so-called visiting professor was not qualified to give lectures to the students here.
This rumor was particularly widespread among teachers. Many teachers said that the visiting professor
was just a young man in his twenties and was not qualified to come to Fudan University as a visiting
professor.
Among them, the one that bore the strongest objection towards the visiting professor was Andrews.
More than half of the rumors about the visiting professor came from him.
Because of the strong controversy, many people in the School of History were paying attention to the
visiting professor's upcoming public lesson. Before the class, there were already many people in the
classroom, including several teachers who had come to attend the class.
Nova and Elodie also came and set in the classroom early, and they were in the first row.
Nova believed Casey in her heart, but she wasn't sure that Casey was the visiting professor invited by
the school until she finally saw him come to the class.
However,Elodie did not believe that it would be Casey, who would come to give the lecture. They sat so
close to the platform in order to get "evidence" on their mobile phones, so that they could question
Casey, and humiliate him thoroughly.
"Nova, just watch. When the visiting professor comes, you will know whether Casey is a hypocrite or
not." Elodie spoke to Nova.
Nova curled her lips and didn't know how to answer Elodie.
At this time, Casey was sitting at his desk in the office, thinking about what he should say in the lecture
later. He had never prepared a lesson before. In his opinion, finding anything to talk about could be
enough for the students who knew little about history and cultural relics.
The purpose of his public lesson was to help broaden the horizons of the students, so there was no
rigid requirement, as long as the lecture was not so boring.
Annie was standing next to Casey. There was not even a book on Casey's desk, let alone other
teaching materials. She couldn’t help but worry about Casey.
During these days, she had also heard a lot of gossips about Casey. Many people were saying that
Casey paid to come here to gild himself, and he was not knowledgeable at all. And the gossips made
Annie very indignant.
She knew that Casey was so good at treasure appraisal that even Mr. Brown spoke highly of him, so,
how could he not be knowledgeable?
So, she had been waiting for today's public lesson, and as long as Casey gave a lecture, those who
looked down upon Casey would surely shut up.
It was just that now Casey seemed to be unprepared, which made Annie worry that if Casey couldn’t
say anything, the rumors would turn out to be true, if this happened, no matter how knowledgeable
Casey was, those at school wouldn’t believe him.
After a while, Casey looked at the time, stood up from his desk and said to Annie, "Let's go. It’s almost
time for the class."
Annie hesitated for a moment and said, "Casey, are you sure you're going to the class like this? I don't
think you're ready for the lecture. How about I go to the other teachers to get some teaching material
for you? You could teach according to the material today, and you can talk about your own stuff the
next time."
Casey smiled to Annie and said, "I can teach without the teaching materials. Come on, everything I
want to talk about is in my mind."
Hearing what Casey said, Annie couldn't say anything more, so she nodded and followed Casey out of
the office.
In the corridor, they two met Andrews, who was also on the way to the lecture.
Andrews stared at Casey and found that he had nothing in his hands. With a sneer on his face, he said
in a strange voice, "This is the first time I've seen a teacher who is going to give a lecture without a
teaching material. Professor Davies, you haven't been to a class before, so you don't know that you
need to prepare before giving a lecture, right?"
Casey stared at Andrews and said, "The lecture is judged by substance. As long as what I’m going say
is useful to the students, it will be enough. It makes no difference whether there are teaching materials
or not."
"Well, I wish you all the best in the first class. when the time comes, don't make a show of yourself. Oh,
by the way, the students in our school are already familiar with the knowledge of junior high school and
senior high school. When you give the lecture, please pay attention to it." Andrews said with a sneer,
then turned and walked quickly out of here.
Annie was angry and felt that what Andrews had just said had gone too far. He even thought that
Casey could only teach the knowledge of junior high school and senior high school. This kind of
mockery was simply too disrespectful to Casey.
"Mr. Davies, your arrival may have stolen the thunder of Mr. Andrews, so Mr. Andrews has some
temper. I hope you won’t mind." Annie comforted him by saying so.
"It doesn't matter. After today’s lecture, he will know if I could only teach the knowledge of junior and
senior high school level." Casey said.
They two walked towards the teaching building together.
In the classroom, everyone was looking at the door, looking forward to see the visiting professor. It was
almost time for the class. The visiting professor should be here soon.
Andrews sat in the classroom, staring at the blackboard with a sneer on his face, thinking that he must
ask Casey some tricky questions later to make him embarrassed.
"It is almost time for the lecture, and the professor is coming. Nova,you will soon know the hypocritical
face of Casey." Elodie said to Nova expectantly.
Just then, Casey came in from outside and stood on the platform
