Chapter 423 I don't like it when you talk like that
If it's just a simple meal, Boss Su can agree to it.
As long as you don't start by saying, "Brother, I want to go home with you..."
Stop using the kids as an excuse to bother your mom when you go back!
If you step on him and curry favor with his mentor, everything else will be fine.
As it turned out, Boss Su underestimated Xiao Si's tactics.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, it was lunchtime. Boss Su lined up and ordered braised pork, a Northeastern stew, and two large lunchboxes of rice for Su Xiaosi, which were then placed on the table.
"Eat up, eat more, you're so thin..."
Looking at Su Xiaosi's thin face, Boss Su sighed, "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it."
"No need, this is enough."
Su Xiaosi smiled and thanked him, her eyes fixed on a lunchbox of braised pork, swallowing hard, her eyes filled with longing for the meat.
He hadn't tasted meat in so long, and the sight of it made his mouth water.
Watching Su Xiaosi eat, his eyes filled with nothing but meat and rice, Su Laoda's expression softened. He thought of the soft, cuddly little dumpling following him around as a child, calling out, "Big brother, the meat is delicious, big brother, eat..."
Su Xiaosi looked up and glanced at Su Laoda.
He noticed that Su was looking at him, but his expression was somewhat dazed. He seemed to be looking at Su, but not quite. His eyes flickered slightly, and he picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into the lunchbox in front of Su. "Big brother, you eat."
Su Laoda snapped out of his daze, exclaimed "Ah!", glanced at the braised pork in the lunchbox, and smiled.
The braised pork smelled so good, and there were plenty of meat slices in the stew as well. Su Xiaosi ate with her mouth full of oil, and her mouth was so slurred that she couldn't speak clearly. So she simply stopped talking and focused on eating.
After finishing the two large lunchboxes of food, he was so full that he curled up, clutching his stomach.
No, he's too full; he needs to rest.
Seeing his expression, Boss Su couldn't help but laugh again, "Are you full?"
Su Xiaosi nodded.
"Thank you, brother. I haven't eaten this much since my parents divorced."
It was fine if he didn't mention his parents, but as soon as he did, the soft and cuddly little dumpling in Su Laoda's eyes instantly transformed into the selfish and calculating Su Xiaosi in front of him.
The smile in Boss Su's eyes froze for a moment, then slowly vanished.
He forgot that Xiao Si was no longer the same Xiao Si he used to be.
Boss Su sighed softly, stood up, and said, "You rest here for a while, I'll go wash the borrowed lunchbox and return it."
After washing the lunchbox and returning it, Boss Su went back to Su Xiaosi's place, but didn't sit down, intending to say goodbye and leave.
Su Xiaosi grabbed his sleeve, "Big brother, don't go yet, I want to say a few words to you, just a few words..."
Su frowned slightly. In front of so many people who came to the cafeteria to get food, he couldn't just leave, so he had no choice but to sit down.
What are you trying to say?
Su Xiaosi frowned as well, "Big brother, you know my abilities. I was admitted through a special recommendation program, so I can study at any graduate school. I want to apply to Song Weizhen's graduate program, and I'm sure I can get in. I just want to build a good relationship with him beforehand, so I can get acquainted with him later. Could you please help me out and introduce me to your..."
It was the same thing, just as expected.
Boss Su shook his head.
He said, "Little Si, if you trust your older brother, then listen to my advice. Professor Song doesn't like students who are too good at currying favor. He prefers practical, capable, humble, and peaceful students. Just focus on your studies, and the rest..."
"Big brother!"
Su Xiaosi frowned. "Opportunities have to be earned! You've refused several times already. If you really don't want to help me, just tell me your colleague's name and dormitory room number, and I'll go find him myself."
Su Laoda felt somewhat powerless.
"Why do you insist on going to see him now? Didn't I tell you? Professor Song doesn't like students who are scheming and calculating. As long as you focus on your major courses, with your talent in mathematics, he will naturally see your excellence in your junior and senior years, and then he will naturally..."
Annoyance flashed across Su Xiaosi's eyes. He was fed up with Su Laoda's pretentious attitude, lecturing him just because he was the eldest in the family. But he couldn't confront him directly, so he could only patiently continue to deal with his older brother.
"Brother, you don't understand. Professor Song is different from other professors. He doesn't recruit graduate students every year, nor does he constantly pay attention to the recruitment process. I need to build good relationships with his students first, so that when I take the graduate entrance exam, someone can help remind the professor. Since I'm so outstanding, Professor Song will take notice of me, and I can successfully become his graduate student and eventually enter the Finance Department..."
When the topic turned to the Finance Department, he paused, licked his lips, and glanced at Boss Su with shining eyes.
When he saw that Boss Su's eyes were full of disapproval, that feeling of irritation rose again. He was annoyed that it was such a pain to talk to Boss Su. Why couldn't he just listen to whatever he said?
Every time, I have to explain and explain again, ask and ask, but do I even understand what it means to be admitted to Song Weizhen's graduate program?
He really couldn't help but want to turn on them and resort to force!
But thinking of the immediate benefits, Su Xiaosi took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.
He looked around, then leaned closer to Boss Su and whispered, "Brother, didn't your colleague tell you? Professor Song's wife works in finance. Some of his students get taken in by her. As far as I know, at least six have been recruited into the Finance Department. What is finance? It's money, the economic lifeline. If I can become his graduate student, I'll be set for life. Then I can buy my nephew and niece beautiful and expensive gifts..."
The eldest brother's gaze towards Su Xiaosi shifted from envy to greed, and when the topic turned to food, drink, and valuable gifts, he made no attempt to conceal his desire.
Su Laoda felt a chill run through his body.
He could hardly believe what he had just heard. Unable to contain himself any longer, he slammed his hand on the table and roared, "Su Xiaosi, do you even know what you're saying?"
"I know, I want to apply for Professor Song's graduate program..."
Su frowned, his face turning cold as he stared at him. "I was referring to what I said after that! What do you mean by 'money is the lifeblood of the economy'? What do you mean by 'getting into Professor Song's graduate program guarantees a lifetime of comfort'? What are you trying to do?!"
Su Xiaosi was stunned. Seeing the anger in Su Laoda's eyes almost materialize, she realized that she had said something she shouldn't have in front of Su Laoda. She smiled sarcastically to herself and cursed Su Laoda for being pretentious. Money can solve more than 90% of life's problems. Who doesn't like it?
Doesn't it cost him money to get married and raise children?
Just pretend.
He dared not show it on his face, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother, I was just saying it casually. Think about it, when I graduate and get a job, I can earn money and have a salary every month. With a steady stream of jobs, wouldn't I never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of my life?"
Su Laoda didn't believe this explanation.
He looked straight at Su Xiaosi and said, "I believe you want to climb the ladder, you want to excel, and you want to apply to Professor Song's graduate program, but if you have such thoughts, you shouldn't apply. Even if you do, Professor Song won't accept you."
"I'm so outstanding, why doesn't he want me? Brother, I don't like you talking like that." Su Xiaosi's face turned cold.
