Simply put, other people had good reputations, while Zhang Chen's reputation was that of a clown.
Bai Ziling seemed to realize that her words had been inappropriate and hurriedly changed the subject. "By the way, how did you end up here?"
Bai Ziling looked at Zhang Chen's clothes. They were ordinary workwear from the outside world, completely out of place amid the atmosphere of the university before them.
"What, Magic City University only allows a great beauty like Miss Bai to come, but not an ordinary man like me?" Zhang Chen replied with a smile, throwing the question back at Bai Ziling.
No matter how he answered, it would not bear close scrutiny. If this woman grew curious and started digging into the matter, what if she had him locked up again?
Zhang Chen had no desire to take another trip to prison.
Bai Ziling looked at Zhang Chen in surprise. The men she usually encountered were all extremely reserved around her; few would joke with her as Zhang Chen did, utterly unaffected by her presence.
"I'm a teaching assistant at Magic City University," Bai Ziling explained.
Zhang Chen looked surprised. Being able to stay on at Magic City University as a teaching assistant meant Bai Ziling had a bright future ahead of her.
In this era, the status of intellectuals was far beyond anything comparable to the twenty-first century before Zhang Chen's reincarnation. It could be said that Bai Ziling had successfully stepped into the elite class.
"I saw you wandering around here earlier, looking like a headless fly. Were you trying to find some materials?" Bai Ziling asked.
"Where are the history books?" Zhang Chen did not stand on ceremony and asked directly.
"Come with me!" Bai Ziling was quite enthusiastic and took the initiative to lead him.
