Close to lunchtime, Professor Lin hurried back home.
Originally he hadn't planned to come back for lunch, since he had things to do outside.
Lin Wanqing's father, Professor Lin, was a full professor at the Jin University Music Academy, but aside from teaching, he also had some extra side income.
In this respect, professors all over the world are the same: if you rely solely on a university salary, it's only a bit better than an average worker's wages. If you want a better life, you have to find other ways to make money.
Like giving talks at other schools, working as a part-time visiting professor, and so on.
And for Professor Lin, because he was a Jin University professor and also an expert in Guqin, he had even more ways to earn money.
Recently, he'd been scoring the vocals for a domestic horror film, basically composing one of its theme songs.
But he kept feeling it didn't fit, that he couldn't capture the right vibe.
