Chapter 432 Replace Zhao Shucheng
Yao Jianshu opened his eyes slightly, looked up in surprise and met Su Laoda's gaze.
He gripped the phone tightly and asked Sister-in-law Yao, "Sister-in-law, why do you say that?"
"...It's hard to explain over the phone; this matter can't be explained in just a few words."
Sister-in-law Yao sighed softly, "I also need to conduct a thorough investigation before making a decision. You keep an eye on him for now. Once the investment promotion conference is over, I'll have time to investigate the whole matter thoroughly before we reach a conclusion."
“Okay.” Yao Jianshu nodded in agreement.
Sister-in-law Yao nodded, "Okay, it's just a small matter. Keep that in mind. I have other things to do, so I'll go ahead and take care of them."
After hanging up the phone, the couple looked at each other in bewilderment.
Boss Su asked, "Did your sister-in-law find out something?"
"I don't know."
Yao Jianshu shook his head, "My sister-in-law didn't say. I haven't had much contact with Zhao Shucheng, but I feel that he's too obsequious to Jin Nan... Character and grades aren't really correlated, and of course, grades don't represent a person's character..."
The conversation gradually faded away towards the end.
She thought of Su Xiaosi.
A person with mathematical talent, specially admitted to a combined bachelor's, master's, and doctoral program, yet acts...
Yao Jianshu pursed her lips and looked at Boss Su with an apologetic sigh.
"I'm sorry, Brother Guo."
Boss Su shook his head and smiled. "You're right. Grades don't mean anything. Zhao Shucheng has character issues, and so does Xiao Si. If they don't realize where they went wrong, they'll definitely be a source of trouble in the future."
"...They're not the same either."
Yao Jianshu corrected, "Su Xiaosi's grades are real, but Zhao Shucheng... my sister-in-law said his grades are problematic. I'm thinking, the interview is a direct confrontation between the student and the professor, and the written exam... the postgraduate entrance exam is extremely rigorous. Could someone possibly take the exam for you?"
Yao Jianshu changed the subject, and Su Laoda's train of thought was also diverted.
"Taking the exam for someone else?"
Boss Su frowned slightly, finding the possibility somewhat alarming. "The candidates' identity information is verified when they enter the examination room, so the possibility of someone taking the exam on their behalf is unlikely."
Yao Jianshu nodded.
"My sister-in-law said she'll check it again after the investment promotion conference is over."
Boss Su nodded and said the same thing as Sister-in-law Yao, "Then you shouldn't go to school for a while. Let's wait until Sister-in-law finds out some clues."
“Well, I’ll be even busier tomorrow and the day after, and I won’t have time to go back. Besides, Zhao Shucheng was eliminated, so I won’t have a chance to run into him,” Yao Jianshu said.
Boss Su breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."
As he spoke, he released Mingwa's hand and took Yao Jianshu's hand instead.
Mingwa paused for a moment, then tilted her little head back, trying to put her hand back in.
Yao Jianshu smiled, let go of Su Laoda's hand, put his son's little hand in, took two steps to the side, and took his son's other little hand.
Boss Su, "..."
He looked at his wife, whose figure was placed in the middle, and sighed.
I feel like I had the baby a bit too early.
After that, the couple never spoke quietly again. Either one of them would reach out for a hug, or the other would grab him and shout "Charge! Charge!" and run forward.
The couple looked at each other, preoccupied with their child, and had no time for themselves at all.
A day passed in the blink of an eye. The day before the investment promotion conference, Sister Yao gathered everyone together at the venue to finalize the tasks, the areas each group was responsible for, and other important points.
After finishing her speech, confirming the information, arranging various matters, and having everyone check the venue again, as the meeting adjourned, Sister Yao inadvertently caught sight of a familiar face among the service team members.
She glanced at the face and froze for a moment, realizing who it was. But when she looked back to check, the person was gone.
She frowned, thinking she had misread it.
But thinking about what his subordinates had said, he was still a little uneasy, so he asked someone to find out the list of service team members.
Sure enough, I saw a familiar name on one of the pages.
Zhao Shucheng.
Sister-in-law Yao's heart skipped a beat. She had someone call the colleague in charge of recruitment from the service team to the temporary office, pointed to Zhao Shucheng's name, and asked him, "What's the story with this guy?"
When the man saw that Sister-in-law Yao was paying special attention to Zhao Shucheng, he immediately smiled.
With a hint of self-aggrandizement, he said, "They said he was from Vice Minister Li's department. We checked his identity, and he was indeed a graduate student that Vice Minister Li had taken on this year. So we decided to keep him, thinking that we could do Vice Minister Li's people a favor and hopefully get the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to make an exception for us if we need anyone else in the future..."
"Nonsense!"
Sister-in-law Yao frowned and glanced at the man. "You only know that he is a graduate student of Vice Minister Li. Have you ever thought that a top student like him would not apply for a translation job, which is easier to achieve results in, but instead went to apply for a waiter job that does not require much skill?"
"this……"
The man realized that Sister-in-law Yao had a problem with Zhao Shucheng, and a thin layer of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. "It was my oversight. I really didn't think of that. Should I call someone over and ask them?"
"What do you want to ask?"
Sister-in-law Yao pressed her throbbing temples and glared at her.
"...This person went to the translation team, but was rejected because of his poor performance. He held a grudge and thought that our interviewers were deliberately making things difficult for him. He even went to the interview site and caused a scene. Even after realizing that it was his own fault, he still wouldn't let it go..."
The man was surprised, "How could a student of Vice Minister Li not even get a translator interview?"
Vice Minister Li only recruits graduate students with good academic performance. Anyone involved in foreign language circles knows this, and organizations like theirs that need translators for investment promotion conferences know this even better.
"I'd like to know too."
Sister-in-law Yao retorted irritably, "...This person's character is questionable, and his true abilities remain to be seen. Replace him and don't let him in."
The service team leader nodded.
"Okay, anyway, I've prepared a few extra people just in case, so replacing them won't affect normal operations."
Sister-in-law Yao waved her hand, "It's not entirely your fault. I also made mistakes. Your group's list was handed over a long time ago, but I only scanned it once and didn't do a thorough screening."
"No, it's my fault. You trusted me too much and didn't read it carefully. It's my fault. After the investment promotion meeting, I'll write a three-hundred-word self-criticism..."
Sister-in-law Yao frowned and glanced at him sideways.
The team leader's face fell, and he tentatively asked, "Five hundred..."
Sister-in-law Yao remained noncommittal.
The team leader sighed, wiped his face, and said, "Fine, eight hundred it is!"
When the two agreed on the replacement, the team leader turned around and called someone over, asking another person to take Zhao Shucheng's place, saying, "You don't need to come tomorrow."
"Why?"
Zhao Shucheng was confused and unwilling to accept it, saying, "Why should I be replaced? I speak English and I am a graduate student of Vice Minister Li. I am not leaving."
"Zhao, don't you know what you've done?"
The team leader frowned. Removing the filter, he listened to Zhao Shucheng's words again. It was clear that he was an unreasonable person. Since he was unreasonable, he didn't need to be reasonable either.
"What did I do?" Zhao Shucheng swallowed nervously.
