Chapter 430 Trapping Su Xiaosi
Su Xiaosi's eyes lit up at Wang Jun's words, "I can't wait to learn with my senior and Director Song and contribute my share to the country's development."
"Good lad!"
Wang Jun laughed heartily and called Su Laoda, "Look how eloquent your younger brother is! The teacher will definitely like him. We don't have anyone in our sect who's so good at flattery, do we?"
The others laughed and echoed.
They praised Su Xiaosi one by one, and Su Xiaosi's face was practically frozen from all the praise.
Wang Jun suddenly changed the subject, "Xiao Yushun, since you want to take the exam for the teacher's graduate program, then you can't continue to associate with us like this."
"Why?" Su Xiaosi frowned, puzzled.
Wang Jun glared at him. "You still ask why? How did you even get into university? A math genius, pursuing a bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree consecutively, a genius recognized by the university. A graduate student who misses his professor—that's not a simple matter..."
"yes."
Su Xiaosi nodded, "What does this have to do with our relationship with you?"
"Of course it's related, it's very closely related."
Wang Jun said, "You say you're so close to us, but if you get into the professor's graduate program on your own merit, will the other students believe you?"
Su Xiaosi frowned. He didn't care whether they believed him or not!
"Whether they believe it or not isn't the point. The point is that you're bringing shame to the professor! The professor clearly admitted someone with real talent, but people are misunderstanding it as you getting in through connections. Wouldn't the professor's reputation be ruined by you? So, do you think you should continue your graduate studies or not? Even if the professor doesn't mind, won't you and your professor have to avoid any appearance of impropriety after you graduate? And if you do, how will they arrange a job for you...?"
Wang Jun rattled off a string of words, but seeing that Su Xiaosi didn't seem to care, he finally cut off the "assign work" part to observe Su Xiaosi's reaction.
Su Xiaosi was indeed anxious.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but Wang Jun stopped him and said, "You don't want the whole campus to hear that you, this math genius, got into Professor Song's graduate program through connections, do you?"
Su Xiaosi's face darkened.
Of course he didn't want to!
He has a talent for mathematics and is a genius. Why should he let others gossip behind his back and say that he got in through connections?
He contacted these people in advance simply to increase his chances of winning.
He really took them seriously.
But these things certainly can't be said openly.
Su Xiaosi narrowed her eyes slightly, the words swirling on her tongue, looking utterly enlightened, and sighed, "What you say is true, senior. I don't care what happens to me, but I can't let Director Song be gossiped about behind his back. From now on, I'll keep my distance from you seniors..."
The key point is what Wang Jun mentioned about avoiding suspicion, and work.
His efforts to please them weren't to avoid suspicion.
Su Xiaosi hardly needs to consider whether to avoid suspicion now or in the workplace later.
Wang Jun only needed to glance at him twice to know what he was thinking.
He doesn't care what he thinks, as long as he doesn't bother them anymore.
Two years later, when he realized it, his eleventh junior brother was also due for his internship.
Wang Jun clicked his tongue twice, praised Su Xiaosi's awareness to the others, and then comforted him with a smile.
"...Your older brother is our junior in elementary school. With that kind of relationship, you're always different from the other students here, you know what I mean."
He raised an eyebrow at Su Xiaosi.
Su Xiaosi nodded with a smile and said, "I understand."
Wang Jun patted him.
"Alright, you should leave now. Don't ever come looking for us again. If you want to see us... do it secretly, don't let anyone see. We'll keep our relationship to ourselves. Once you become our twelfth junior, we can hang out openly together, and no one will dare to gossip anymore, right?"
“Yes, senior is right,” Su Xiaosi echoed.
The others also said a few nice words, which made Su Xiaosi beam with joy, and she left feeling smug.
Before leaving, he glanced at Boss Su.
I was incredibly proud of myself.
He felt he had made the right bet; his older brother indeed wouldn't expose him, fearing it would ruin his future.
Seeing the smug look in his eyes, Boss Su opened his mouth as if to say something, but then closed his eyes and swallowed his words.
I tried to convince myself.
Su Xiaosi is no longer a three-year-old child; he knows what he is doing.
He chose his own path, and it's his freedom to choose how to walk it.
Although he was his biological older brother, he had no right to interfere in his life.
Besides, even if I told her, Su Xiaosi might not listen.
But thinking of the child who used to follow him around as a child, calling out "Big Brother, I'll give you meat to eat," Su Laoda still couldn't bring himself to be ruthless.
He couldn't bear to watch Su Xiaosi do things she shouldn't have.
Boss Su turned his head and glanced at Wang Jun.
Wang Jun sighed, patted him, and called out to Su Xiaosi, reminding him, "Don't make promises to others easily just because of our relationship. The teacher won't give anyone special treatment. People with dirty hands... will never be tolerated in the sect."
Su Xiaosi's expression hardened, and she forced a smile.
"I'll remember Senior Wang."
As she turned around, she gave Boss Su a cold look, and with a half-smile, half-jokingly, she said to him, "Brother, did you see my classmate treat me to dinner and think I took money from him? Don't wrong me, brother. I haven't taken a single penny. If you don't believe me, you can ask or check. I have a clear conscience."
After saying that, he strode away.
Boss Su sat in the chair, remaining silent for a long time.
"This guy... was he trying to sow discord between us and Atai just now? Making us think that Atai deliberately framed him?" A senior student shook his head incredulously.
The senior student next to her frowned and muttered under her breath, "Like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart."
Wang Junchao and the other two gently shook their heads.
"Call him Boss Su, 'Atai, don't take it to heart. Your younger brother is smarter than you and speaks very tactfully. It's a pity he's still young and not very reliable. If we hadn't found out beforehand that he was secretly accepting gifts and being treated like a king, we would have really believed his righteous words."
"...If this kind of person really gets a few years of harsh realities in his job, he could be a dangerous individual."
The group exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
Boss Su smiled wryly. Xiao Si had relied on this to gain Li Banxia's trust since he was a child.
During dinner that evening, Su Laoda told his family about the things Su Xiaosi had done, picking and choosing what to tell them.
Su Laosan swallowed his porridge and tapped the rim of the bowl. "What did I tell you? The moment he sticks his butt out, I know he's up to no good! He even wants to drag you into the Finance Bureau. He's like he's setting himself on fire and trying to burn you down with him. He's courting death! Brother, if you ask me, you should focus on your graduate studies, learn well from your advisor and your fellow students, and forget about Su Xiaosi..."
Old Su sighed and looked at Li Banxia.
"mom……"
