Chapter 402 Keep it up!

Was it the Xu family who helped?

His mother is really good to his older brother now, and she always puts his needs first.

Su Xiaosi glanced at Su Laoda with a hint of envy and a touch of inexplicable jealousy. His mother had never really liked his older brother before, and she had always doted on him more.

"Did your older brother get in on his own merit?"

Boss Su glanced at him and smiled, "Yeah."

Su Xiaosi didn't believe it, nor did he expose it. He was convinced that Su Laoda had gotten in through the Xu family's back door.

Since he got in through connections, his advisor must not be very good, so he casually replied, "Oh."

The drawn-out tone didn't sound like approval at all.

Boss Su frowned, wanting to say something but holding back.

Changing the subject, "Xiao Si, how did you get so thin?"

"Me like this?"

Su Xiaosi glanced down at himself, then suddenly laughed and looked at Su Laoda, saying, "Big brother, it's rare for us brothers to meet, so let me treat you to a meal? But it can only be at the cafeteria, I'm a bit broke lately."

Old Su sighed when he saw how skin and bones he was.

"Please, brother."

Su Xiaosi avoided the topic twice, so Su Laoda stopped asking.

On the way to the cafeteria, I changed my question and asked him, "Dad... how are you and my little sister doing now?"

"he……"

Su Xiaosi snorted lightly, "He hasn't cared about our lives for a long time. Didn't you hear when you came to make trouble on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"

Boss Su paused for a moment, then shook his head.

He was so focused on the children at the time that he really neglected them.

Seeing a hint of guilt in his eyes, Su Xiaosi turned her head away with a complicated expression, "...I haven't been back since what happened on New Year's Eve."

"Never been back?"

Boss Su paused, "Where's my little sister?"

Su Xiaosi shook her head.

She said, "I don't know. I heard that she went to Su Youfu's factory and made a scene. The factory took part of Su Youfu's salary to pay for her books and tuition. She has to find her own way to cover her living expenses."

"Find a way yourself?"

Su Laoda's eyes widened slightly. "She's just a middle school student, how can she figure things out on her own? How could Dad do this?! He just ignores your lives like this, he..."

Su Xiaosi glanced at him.

He said, "Big brother, are you still so naive? When has he ever cared about our lives? From childhood to adulthood, apart from occasionally saying a few words to try and sabotage our relationship with Mom, has he ever spent a single penny on us?"

Boss Su was silent for a moment, then looked at him.

"You knew all this, yet you still chose him?!"

Su Xiaosi chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Back then, I had such a falling out with Mom, wasn't it just out of spite? Who knew Su Youfu really wouldn't spend a single penny on us! Big brother, do you know? During the New Year, he and his mother were eating and drinking like mad at He Taohua's courtyard, while my little sister and I were in our courtyard, eating steamed buns soaked in hot water to celebrate the New Year..."

Su Xiaosi let out a soft breath and looked up at the sky. Su Laoda caught a glimpse of the tears welling up in his eyes and his heart skipped a beat. "Xiaosi..."

Su Xiaosi interrupted him, "...When the light in the house broke, we asked him for money to replace it, and he dismissed us with a simple 'I have no money.' That's not all; he even dared to steal the director's grandson. When the police came knocking on the door, the director got so angry that he took the yard back."

Su Xiaosi sniffed and glanced at Su Laoda.

"...I went to He Taohua's courtyard with my younger sister, but Su Youfu wouldn't let us. At least I can stay in the school dormitory, but my younger sister..."

"What's wrong, little sister?" Old Su asked hurriedly.

Su Xiaosi looked into his eyes, sighed, and shook her head. "If you want to know, you can ask him yourself. I'm taking the high school entrance exam this summer, and it'll be in a few days."

Boss Su nodded.

When they arrived at the canteen, Old Su ordered several meat dishes, and packed up the leftovers for Su Xiaosi.

As she was leaving, Su Xiaosi called out to him, "Brother, could you lend me ten yuan? My allowance for this month hasn't come in yet. I was sick a few days ago and spent a lot of money. I don't have money for food, but I still have to hold on for the next two weeks..."

Looking at his emaciated appearance, where all his former energy and spirit had vanished, Su Laoda couldn't bear it.

I gave him ten yuan and sighed, "No wonder you look so frail. Health is the most important thing. You can't just focus on studying; you need to take better care of your health."

"Thank you, brother."

Su Xiaosi took the money, her eyes slightly red, and her voice choked with emotion as she thanked him.

Boss Su sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and left.

Su Xiaosi gripped her hand, watching Su Laoda hurry away, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips.

He slowly took out his wallet from his pocket and stuffed ten yuan into seven or eight ten-yuan bills.

His guess was correct.

They were all forced by their mother to be independent and self-reliant, but he, the eldest brother, was well protected by his mother and still believed everything she said, just like before.

Keep it up; we might need to find a breakthrough point from him later.

"Su Yushun!"

Su Xiaosi caught a glimpse of someone waving at him out of the corner of his eye. He stuffed his wallet into his pocket, turned around, and called out to the person.

The man had already run up to him in a few steps.

Tell him, "Su Yushun, good news! The professor you want to study under is accepting students this year!"

"What?!"

Su Xiaosi was taken aback, staring at the person, her breath catching in her throat. "Who recruited graduate students?"

"That finance department..."

Someone walked past the two of them, and the person immediately stopped talking. After the passerby had gone far away, the person looked at Su Xiaosi and said, "That woman's tutor at the Finance Department, didn't you always want to take his graduate entrance exam and then use his wife's influence to get into the Finance Department?"

"real?"

The man nodded emphatically, “It’s true! The list is posted right there. A lot of people in our class saw it, but not many of those who want to join the army actually looked at it. I just glanced at it…”

"I'll go take a look."

Su Xiaosi turned and ran, and the man exclaimed and chased after her.

As he ran, he asked, "Do you want to try your luck with his graduate program next year?"

"Yes!" Su Xiaosi said without hesitation.

Of course!

If you complete his graduate program, there's an 80% chance you'll get a job in the Finance Department, and your future is secure.

This professor hadn't recruited any graduate students for several years, but suddenly started recruiting this year.

Damn it, he's only a sophomore, and he didn't get any advance warning, otherwise...

It's okay, he can take the exam next year. As long as his supervisor is still recruiting, he will definitely be able to pass the exam for his graduate program.

He was admitted to his graduate program, graduated and entered the Finance Department. What does entering the Finance Department mean?

Throughout history, the economy has always been the lifeblood of a nation!

With his intelligence, he will surely become a very important figure in the future.

He firmly believed this.

My classmates kept chattering, "...They only hired one this year. I heard he's exceptionally good at math. He solved a problem on the written test that really resonated with the professor, and the professor went to the interview in person. He asked one question and decided to hire him..."

Su Xiaosi's eyes turned red with jealousy.

I wonder who was so lucky to get into this professor's graduate program?

"Do you know who it is?" he asked his classmate, turning his head.

The classmate shook his head, "I don't know, I only heard that he's not a recent graduate, but a math teacher at No. 2 High School..."
