Chapter 587 Persuading Someone to Resign
"Yu Qing?"
Su Xiaosi was extremely surprised, "How did you find your way here?"
"Su Yushun, something terrible has happened!"
Yu Qing pursed her lips, her expression somewhat heavy.
Su Xiaosi belatedly realized, then suddenly exclaimed, "It's me?"
Yu Qing nodded.
She reached out and grabbed his hand, saying, "Get in the car first, we can talk as we walk."
She pushed him into the back seat, squeezed next to him, ignoring the frost on his body, closed the car door, and urged the driver to return to Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
On the way, I whispered to him, "The teacher asked me to come find you. He told you not to worry, he's already trying to negotiate for you, and there's a good chance he can get the expulsion changed to a request for withdrawal..."
"Expulsion?! Resignation?!"
Su Xiaosi felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in his ears, and his mind was filled with a booming sound. He couldn't hear anything Yu Qing was saying.
It took a while before Yu Qing slapped him on the back of his hand, waking him up.
"Su Yushun! Are you even listening to me anymore?"
Su Xiaosi's lips moved slightly, and she subconsciously licked her dry lips, looking at Yu Qing, "The school wants to expel me..."
"This is the worst-case scenario. The teacher said they could help you keep your bachelor's degree, but for a master's or doctoral degree... the chances are slim. This is to prepare you for the worst."
Yu Qing looked at him sympathetically and patted his hand. "Yu Shun, your teacher said they'll try their best to get you a bachelor's degree with a clear conscience. If you want to go to a higher-level school, you can apply to other schools; it's the same..."
"How could they be the same?" Su Xiaosi muttered blankly.
Yu Qing didn't know how to comfort him for a moment, so she just held his hand and said, "Don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I will be by your side."
Su Xiaosi glanced at her, trying to force a smile, but it looked worse than crying.
how so?
He only came out to ask for some money, so why is the school suddenly going to expel him?
He's a genius they specially recruited for a combined bachelor's, master's, and doctoral program. Don't they give him any chance at all?
His older brother was Song Weizhen's student and worked in the Finance Department. They just didn't care about him. Did they not care about his older brother's or Song Weizhen's feelings either?
Who exactly is trying to destroy him?
The two rushed back to school, but it was too late; the school's decision to expel them was already a done deal.
His advisor used his own money to cover the financial hole, which allowed him to keep his undergraduate degree. There was no way he could get a master's or doctoral degree. The school was unwilling to let someone like him study at the school anymore, even if he was exceptionally talented.
"teacher……"
Su Xiaosi's face turned pale. The teacher who had greeted him with a smile during the enrollment process now looked at him with disdain and walked past him as if he had seen something dirty, and hurried away.
Su Xiaosi was filled with shame and indignation, her eyes turning red.
Another person from the school patted the tutor on the shoulder and shook his head, saying, "Is it worth it to spend all your savings from the past few years on a student like this?"
"What's the point of questioning whether it's worth it or not? The child is still young. We can't just deny him a chance to correct his mistakes, can we?" the mentor said.
The man didn't argue with him, but only advised, "A conscience is something that either exists or it's hard to grow. He can use his older brother to swindle money, clothes, and food from students. Be careful he doesn't turn his attention to you. Earning money isn't easy, and you have a family to support... Take care of yourself."
Su Xiaosi clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh, causing him to shudder in pain.
The professor looked exhausted after seeing off the school officials.
Looking up at Su Xiaosi, I sighed and handed her the graduation certificate. "Yushun, I have limited abilities. Even if I used all the money I had to help you fill the hole, I could only persuade the school to keep your bachelor's degree. There's nothing else I can do. Take it. It will be very useful to find a job."
"Teacher, has the school notified my older brother?"
Su Xiaosi suddenly said.
The tutor frowned slightly, glanced at the school officials who had walked away, and shook his head. "I don't know if the school contacted your older brother. Logically, since the matter started because of your older brother, the school should have notified him to come. But the school's punishment of you was decisive and swift, as if someone was pushing for this matter to end quickly."
"Someone is pushing this together..."
Su Xiaosi was momentarily dazed by those words, recalling a period last year when notes would appear before him in various forms, urging him to work and save money, to pay back the money he owed his classmates, and to return the clothes and food he had given them one by one.
He was extremely annoyed by the pricking at the time, but later it inexplicably lessened, and he was even smug, thinking that everything was fine.
So that's what they were waiting for him.
If only I had known...
Su Xiaosi murmured softly, "...If I had listened to the person on the note and returned the money, would the person behind the note not be targeting me like this?"
His master's and doctoral degrees!
He could have graduated with a PhD right away, but now all he has left is a bare undergraduate degree.
His mentor felt sorry for him and advised him, "Yushun, it's okay to make a mistake once, but you can't keep making the same mistake. Let bygones be bygones. What are your plans for the future?"
Su Xiaosi had no plans.
No.
He has no intention of graduating with a bachelor's degree.
His plan is to pursue further studies abroad after obtaining his doctorate!
He's more capable than his older brother who got into the Finance Department; he's entered a more core department!
He is the smartest person in the family, so it is only natural that he should do the most technically demanding job in the family.
What plans could he possibly have now?!
The mentor patted him on the shoulder and said, “I know you regret your master’s and doctoral degrees, but there’s no going back now that things have happened. Go back to your dorm and pack your things. I’ll have Yu Qing take you to stay at my place for a couple of days. I have some acquaintances in the towns down here. I can ask them to help you find a job.”
"If you're willing, go down there and gain experience for two years. Once things have calmed down here, I'll contact my old classmates and try to get you transferred back. With your intelligence, climbing the ranks won't be difficult. Think it over carefully and give me an answer when you've made up your mind."
The tutor glanced at him, shook his head, and walked away.
Before leaving, he gave Yu Qing a wink.
Yu Qing understood and nodded knowingly.
"Okay, stop thinking about it. I'll go back to your dorm with you to pack your things."
Yu Qing grabbed Su Xiaosi's arm and pulled her towards the dormitory.
The sun at two or three in the afternoon shone brightly on the south-facing dormitory building.
Su Xiaosi looked listless the whole way. When they arrived at the dormitory building, Yu Qing nudged him and said, "Su Yushun, I'm downstairs. If any of your classmates try to harm you, remember to call me and I'll come up to help you."
Su Xiaosi was stunned.
Yu Qing tilted her head and smiled at him, "I'm not good at fighting, but I'm good at arguing. Go on."
Su Xiaosi was gently pushed by her and stumbled into the dormitory building.
When he returned to the dormitory, his roommates were all there. When they saw him come in, they exchanged glances.
The one who was usually closest to Su Xiaosi was the first to turn against her, mocking, "Su Yushun, didn't you always talk about how great your older brother was? You've been expelled from school, why hasn't he come to protect you?"
