Chapter 468 Because I Protect My Shortcomings

The next day, Su Yi met Shi Yu in the office.

Shi Yu seemed to have dressed up specially today, wearing a brand new set of clothes and some lipstick.

She brought the transcripts and some papers she had in her hands, a thick stack, and looked very reserved standing in front of Su Yi.

"You're not going to major in number theory, are you?" Su Yi asked jokingly.

Shi Yu shook her head, a little shy: "Topology and space science, but I've been hesitating about my major. I like space science very much, but my grades in topology seem to be better..."

"I don't know much about space science. Did you bring paper and pen?" Su Yi asked.

"I brought it." Shi Yu quickly took out a notebook and pen from his schoolbag.

Su Yi gave Shi Yu a problem, asking her to build a mathematical model, and only gave her two hours.

She just needed to go to the laboratory, which would take two hours. After she came back, she would look at her results, which would be as good as what she had achieved.

…

Two hours later.

When Su Yi walked back into the office, Shi Yu didn't seem to notice. Instead, she frowned and stared at the computer, biting her nails unconsciously. Her nails were bitten by her like they were bitten by a dog, short and ugly.

Su Yi put the coffee next to Shi Yu's hand. Shi Yu then heard the sound and suddenly woke up.

"Gu, Professor Gu." Shi Yu stood up quickly.

"Don't bite your nails anymore, it's a bad habit." Su Yi said, "Have a cup of coffee to refresh yourself. Let me see your results."

Shi Yu felt a little embarrassed. She had this habit of biting her nails since she was a child. She would bite them unconsciously when she was anxious or nervous. As a result, her nails were now short and blunt, ugly, and not like a girl's hands at all.

In two and a half hours, Shi Yu's progress was not fast, but there were not too many mistakes to be found. There were only one or two small details occasionally, which were not a big problem.

Su Yi had a general understanding of Shi Yu's ability in learning.

He is not a particularly gifted student, but he is down-to-earth and has a solid foundation.

Willing to work hard.

"If I remember correctly, the postgraduate entrance examination is at the end of December every year, right?" Su Yi asked her.

Shi Yu nodded.

“Come to me after you’ve passed the written test.”

Shi Yu was stunned for a long time, then suddenly realized what was happening and looked at her in surprise: "Professor Gu."

"Although I'm a year younger than you, my academic achievements are enough to be your teacher." Su Yi smiled. "To be honest, I don't actually plan to take students. At least for now, I'm still young and have enough time and energy to do my own research. But Shi Yu, your sincerity and hard work have impressed me."

“I, I…”

"I major in number theory and have done some research in topology, but my knowledge of spatial theory is average. If you want to apply for my graduate program, you'll have to switch to these two areas... You still have more than a year, so don't rush. You can think about it carefully."

"Thank you, Professor Gu, thank you!"

Shi Yu nodded desperately, his eyes instantly red.

She had already given up hope.

"When will you return to C University?" Su Yi asked her.

"I bought a ticket for the evening train. There is still a week before school starts, and I plan to go back to my hometown to spend time with my grandfather. Train tickets are not in short supply at this time, and I even grabbed a lower berth." Shi Yu said happily.

After Su Yi asked, he found out that the train ride would take nearly thirty hours.

She returned to her desk, typed out a list of books and handed it to Shi Yu.

"These books are all in the library of University C. Take a look at them and then write your thoughts and send them to me."

Shi Yu nodded, solemnly folded the list of books and put it into his schoolbag.

"I'll ask the driver to take you to the hotel to check out, and then come to the company. You can use my lounge." Su Yi said.

"No, no need. I'll just go to KFC at the train station." Shi Yu said quickly.

Su Yi smiled and said, "Since I intend to take you in, unless you do something that goes against your bottom line in the future, I, as your teacher, will definitely take care of you. Shi Yu, I've investigated you. You've suffered from cyberbullying, so you can't open up. But remember, from now on, you don't have to be polite to me, because I protect my shortcomings."

Shi Yu's tears fell instantly.

She pursed her lips tightly, trying to stop her tears. She wiped them away desperately, but the more she wiped, the more tears came.

“S-Sorry…”

Finally, Shi Yu obeyed, checked out of the hotel, and came to Xingchen Technology with his luggage.

Then I also met Shen Yanting.

"Mr. Shen."

Shen Yanting looked at her calmly, then nodded slightly and said, "Study hard."

“Thank you, Mr. Shen, I will work hard!”

After Shi Yu left, Su Yi told her teacher about this. Zhang Yuan smiled and teased her, "Yi Yi has grown up and become a tutor too."

“I like her hard work and dedication.”

"Talent is not the most important thing. What is important is a person's character and personality. From what you said, this is a good kid who has been reborn in adversity and has a bright future." Zhang Yuan said.

Yes, rebirth.

This is also the most important reason why Su Yi accepted her.

She seemed to see herself reborn in Shi Yu.
