Chapter 425 My older brother is really Director Song's graduate student
My roommate swallowed hard, and without even getting his food, he dashed out to find Su Xiaosi.
Su Xiaosi was squatting in the toilet near the cafeteria, having diarrhea so badly she almost couldn't stand up, her face as white as paper.
When his roommate saw his appearance, he was so frightened that he forgot all about what he was saying and quickly helped him to the school clinic.
The doctor prescribed some medicine for him to take at home, and the two of them went back to their dormitory together.
Su Xiaosi lay sprawled on the bed. His roommate poured him a cup of hot water and handed him his medicine. His stomach growled, and only then did he remember to look for Su Xiaosi. He pulled up a chair and sat down next to Su Xiaosi's bed.
She said to him mysteriously, "Do you know what I found out after you left?"
"What?"
Su Xiaosi tilted her head back and swallowed the medicine, glancing at him sideways. "For no reason?"
"Your older brother!"
Su Xiaosi's roommate patted his leg and exclaimed, "He really is Professor Song's graduate student!"
"impossible."
Su Xiaosi didn't believe it, "How could Director Song possibly look favorably upon my older brother's grades?"
My roommate exclaimed "Oh dear!"
"It's true. Someone saw your older brother with Wang Jun, that senior student who's always with Director Song, more than once..."
What does being together prove?
Su Xiaosi's eyes were full of sarcasm. "The news must be wrong. My older brother couldn't possibly be Professor Song's graduate student. He's my older brother's colleague, and they were introduced by him."
"ah?"
My roommate was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head. "Really? They seem to get along quite well. Your brother's colleague introduced them... Su Yushun, you wouldn't be jealous of your brother's success, would you?"
"Why should I be unable to bear seeing him succeed?"
Su Xiaosi patted her chest and said, "From the time I started school, every teacher who taught me praised my academic talent. I was specially admitted to university and completed my bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in one go. My older brother's grades have always been mediocre. We're worlds apart! Why would I be jealous of him?!"
"Then... could it be that your older brother's colleague introduced them? By the way, have you found out? Did your older brother tell you? Who exactly is that colleague?"
Su Xiaosi's face darkened, and she did not answer the question.
How was he supposed to tell his roommate that after all the flattery he'd done, his older brother not only refused to tell him his colleague's name, but also wouldn't let him apply to Professor Song's graduate program?
Because his older brother thought he had ulterior motives!
That's ridiculous.
Seeing Su Xiaosi's pale face and silence, her roommate patted her lightly. "What are you daydreaming about? Why aren't you saying anything? What's your brother's colleague's name? But speaking of which, your brother's colleague is really loyal. He got into Director Song's graduate program himself, and then he introduced your brother to him. With your brother's connections, you can build a good relationship with Director Song in advance, and you can take the entrance exam for his graduate program in your junior year, and then get into the Finance Department..."
Before he could finish speaking, he became agitated and slapped Su Xiaosi hard.
"Good lad, you got to eat meat first. Remember to pull some strings for me later..."
Su Xiaosi winced in pain from the beating, frowned, glared at him, and said impatiently, "What kind of good idea are you thinking! I haven't even settled down yet, and you're already trying to ride on my coattails? Whose coattails am I supposed to ride on!"
His roommate exclaimed "Oh!" and approached him with a forced smile.
"Just benefit from our big brother's influence."
Hearing him mention Boss Su made Su Xiao Si even more annoyed. She raised her hand and pushed his face away, telling him to get lost.
My roommate chuckled and stepped back.
Annoyed by his roommate's words, Su Xiaosi felt his stomach upset again. He shoved the water glass into his roommate's hand and quickly got out of bed and ran to the toilet.
He ran while shouting to his roommate, "Get me some paper."
Throughout the afternoon, his stomach kept rumbling, and every time he went to the toilet, he would have diarrhea. He was in and out of control all afternoon, doing nothing but being in the toilet or on his way to the toilet.
Fortunately, my stomach finally stopped acting up before I went to bed that night.
The next day, Su Xiaosi specifically asked her counselor, "Do you know the name of the new graduate student that Professor Song recruited?"
Why are you asking about this?
The counselor thought for a moment and said to Su Xiaosi, "It seems that her surname is Su, the same as yours."
Su Xiaosi's heart skipped a beat.
He asked urgently, "Could it be that his name is Su Guotai?"
The counselor thought for a moment, then slowly nodded. "That seems to be the name. What, you also want to apply to Professor Song's graduate program? He's very selective. If you want to apply, you'll have to lower your guard first. Professor Song doesn't like students who try to take shortcuts..."
Su Xiaosi didn't hear what the counselor said after that.
He felt a chill rushing into his chest.
I can't believe it really is my older brother.
He forced a smile and interrupted the counselor, "How could that be? Su Guotai's grades are just average. How could Director Song have taken a liking to him?"
The counselor frowned. "But as far as I know, Su Guotai ranked first in the written test, and Director Song thought he was excellent after asking him questions and made the decision to hire him on the spot. Do you know Su Guotai?"
"impossible!"
Su Xiaosi shook her head. "Absolutely impossible. I know Su Guotai. He's always been at the bottom of his class and got awards from childhood to adulthood. He was also at the bottom of his class in college... I've done Director Song's written test, and I didn't get them all right. How could he possibly get first place? This... is too absurd."
"Su Yushun, what are you saying?"
The counselor frowned in disagreement, "There are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people. You may be smart, but there might be people even smarter than you. Su Guotai is one of them..."
"Absolutely impossible!"
Su Xiaosi was almost driven mad by her counselor's comment that "Su Guotai is smarter than him." "He can't possibly be as good as me."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The counselor was speechless. Is it so hard to admit that someone is better than him?
Why didn't I notice before that Su Yushun couldn't stand others being better than him?
Su Xiaosi ran out of the office building in one breath, ran to the lakeside, leaned on her knees, panting heavily, stared at the lake, her mind filled with the counselor's words, and angrily picked up a stone and threw it into the lake.
While smashing things, he said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! No, bro, the counselor must have made a mistake. The surname is Su... Can't there be colleagues with the same surname as me and my bro?!"
After a while, Su Xiaosi stopped what she was doing, realizing it wouldn't work.
He wanted to find Boss Su and ask him clearly whether he was Director Song's graduate student or not.
After wandering around the campus for two days and searching everywhere he could, Su Xiaosi couldn't find Su Laoda. Knowing that Su Laoda was hiding from him, Su Xiaosi's face remained gloomy for two days.
On Friday, a notice was posted in the school bulletin board announcing that Professor Song would be giving a lecture at the school, in the auditorium. All students in the mathematics department, regardless of whether they were undergraduates, master's students, or doctoral students, were welcome to attend.
Su Xiaosi and her roommate went to try their luck and spotted Su Laoda following Director Song. They heard Director Song call him Xiao Shiyi.
Su Xiaosi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Director Song had previously admitted ten graduate students, and this year's student is the eleventh.
His older brother, Su Guotai, was indeed Director Song's graduate student.
