Chapter 426 Thank you, Big Brother

Su Xiaosi's head was spinning, and the voices of the people around her seemed to come near and then disappear, making it hard to hear clearly.

Su Xiaosi didn't hear a word of what Director Song said on stage.

His gaze drifted back and forth between Director Song and Boss Su, almost in a daze.

He couldn't understand why Song Weizhen had taken a liking to Boss Su.

Such a stupid person, so naive as to be foolish, he believed whatever others told him...

No.

Su Xiaosi shook her head. Her older brother was different now.

He misjudged the situation.

The eldest brother who used to obey them has become just like him, full of scheming.

Otherwise, why would he have acted like a monkey for so long?

He asked him for a colleague's name. He had been humble and subservient for so long, yet he hadn't told himself that he was Song Weizhen's first-year graduate student!

What is Su Guotai guarding against him for?

With such excellent grades and outstanding abilities—a combined bachelor's, master's, and doctoral program—wasn't he capable of getting into Song Weizhen's graduate program?!

What makes Su Guotai think that Song Weizhen looks down on him?

On what grounds?

“…Su Yushun? Su Yushun!”

His roommate noticed that his expression was off and grabbed his arm, shaking it a couple of times.

Su Xiaosi shifted her gaze to her roommate's face and slowly came back to her senses.

"What are you thinking? I called you several times and you didn't answer? See? Your older brother really is Director Song's new graduate student. I knew I hadn't misheard that day. Hey, after the event, let's go say hello to your older brother and get to know Director Song..."

Her roommate winked at Su Xiaosi, her eyes sparkling, and it was obvious what she was up to.

Su Xiaosi opened her mouth as if to say something, but the words turned into a perfunctory hum.

His roommate didn't take it to heart, and with a grin, lowered his voice to tell him how to get closer to Boss Su and thus gain Director Song's favor, "...With my abilities, I probably wouldn't be able to get into the Finance Department, and I don't even want to. Just send me to a city below, where isn't the finance department..."

Su Xiaosi cursed him for being spineless, and her roommate sighed, saying, "I'm not comparing myself to you. You got in through a special admission program based on your talent, while I... went through countless trials and tribulations to get in. All my luck was used up on getting into university and meeting you, my lucky star. Su Yushun, Brother Yushun, Brother! He's like an older brother to us. Just let me go when he helps you out. I'm not greedy..."

Unable to resist his persistent entanglement, Su Xiaosi pried his hand off.

"Alright, alright, if my older brother helps me out, I'll definitely take you along too."

My roommate's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "You're really my brother! From today onwards, I'll take care of your breakfast."

Earning just a few dollars a day for a secure job in the future—there's no better deal than this.

Those around them who had overheard their conversation quietly crept up, asking, "Is the new graduate student Director Song recruiting your brother? Really?"

"My name is Zhang Fengshou, Su, let's get acquainted..."

"My name is Liu Fang, Su. I know you, a math genius. No wonder your brother was able to get into Professor Song's graduate program. It turns out you two are brothers, both so outstanding..."

Praising him would have been enough, why did you have to include Boss Su in the praise as well?

Su Xiaosi didn't like hearing this, and he frowned as he glanced at the girl who had spoken.

The girl seemed a little confused by the stares and leaned closer to say something, but was pulled away by the other students.

"Me, me, Su, he'll cover your breakfast, and I'll cover your remaining two meals, with at least one meat dish and one vegetable dish each. Could you ask your older brother to help you out a bit too...?"

His words caused a moment of silence.

The others were equally eager to join in. One of them said, "I'll add a meat dish to Su's lunch. Su, could you help me out?"

"I can too..."

"I can pay for it, Su can buy whatever she wants..."

For a time, everyone was trying to curry favor with Su Xiaosi.

Su Xiaosi felt both smug and resentful. He was smug because he was being fawned over, but resentful because this treatment was given to him by Su Laoda.

If others knew that his older brother had no intention of helping him, would they still try so hard to please him?

The answer is obvious.

Su Xiaosi pursed her lips and glanced at her roommate. "You caused this, so you go and tell them to be quiet. Can't they see that Professor Song is still lecturing? Don't they have any classroom discipline?"

"Okay."

My roommate puffed out his chest and swept his gaze around arrogantly, "Shut up, everyone. Listen to the lesson properly. We'll talk about it later."

The group nodded hurriedly.

Su Xiaosi was completely confused during the class. He had dabbled in what Director Song was talking about in the library, but found it too complicated and didn't continue. It seemed that this was Director Song's direction, and he would continue to study it later.

As class was about to end, Director Song said that he had printed extra materials to give to the students who had come to audit the class today.

Su and several senior students carried materials and distributed them down from the podium.

When the document was sent to Su Xiaosi, Su Laoda paused for a moment, then took the document and handed it over, saying, "Student, your document..."

"Thank you, big brother," Su Xiaosi said deliberately.

Su frowned, ignored him, and handed another portion to his roommate next to him.

Smiling, she accepted the documents. "Thank you, brother. I'm Yu Shun's good buddy. We're roommates. My name is Jiang Chaomei, the 'Mei' from America."

Boss Su paused for a moment, then glanced at Su Xiaosi.

Su Xiaosi was slightly raising her chin, looking at him with a smile that held no real mirth.

Boss Su didn't make a statement and continued to send out materials.

After everyone left, her roommate nudged Su Xiaosi with her elbow, "Hey, what's going on? Why is your older brother treating you like a complete stranger? He didn't even say hello..."

"...What kind of occasion is this? What is my older brother doing here? He's giving me a warm hug right now. Do you think that's appropriate?" Su Xiaosi scoffed.

Upon hearing this, my roommate shook her head repeatedly, "No, this is better, this is better."

As he spoke, he grinned and moved closer to Su Xiaosi.

Su Xiaosi glared at him, then looked towards Su Laoda.

After distributing the materials, Boss Su went straight out of the classroom through the back door and then went around to the front door from the outside.

Su Xiaosi gritted her teeth, her mind churning with rage. She wanted nothing more than to rush up to Su Laoda and demand, "Big brother, is it fun to play these tricks on me? What did I do to offend you? Are you so jealous of my success that you're afraid I'll get into Song Weizhen's graduate program and steal your thunder?!"

But he was separated from Boss Su by a classroom, and even if he gritted his teeth, Boss Su wouldn't hear a sound.

After Director Song finished speaking, the lecture came to a complete end.

Su, along with other senior students, escorted Director Song out of the classroom. Many students surrounded him, wanting to ask him questions, but were stopped by the campus security guards maintaining order.

The roommate pushed Su Xiaosi forward and said loudly, "This is Su Guotai's younger brother, Su Yushun, the new graduate student that Director Song has taken on. He needs to see his older brother. Please let us over..."

"No, we can't make an exception. If you have something to say, go home and talk to us. Don't make things difficult for us." The security guard shook his head and refused.

The roommate looked at Su Xiaosi and said, "Yeah, why don't you go home and tell your older brother?"
