Let's talk about it in Chapter 421.
That was Su Xiaosi's plan, but he felt that his older brother wouldn't want to see him and would definitely avoid him, like at the library...
My brother probably won't go.
He needs to take a walk around the campus.
But he didn't need to say these things to his roommates, so he just gave a perfunctory "hmm".
As a result, after wandering around the campus all day, they still couldn't find Boss Su.
They encountered the teacher who had asked for leave for a class and reported the situation to his advisor.
The counselor called Su Xiaosi to the office and asked him what he wanted to do. "In the past month, count how many times you've taken leave? How many classes have you missed? Su Yushun, do you have any sense of responsibility as a student?"
"Teacher, I have something to say..."
The counselor sighed, exasperated, and waved his hand to interrupt his excuses, "What you mean by having something to do is just aimlessly wandering around campus? Getting seen by teachers who have their eyes on you?"
Su Xiaosi was stunned for a moment, then belatedly realized that she had been reported by the teacher.
He opened his mouth to explain, but the counselor waved his hand and told him to leave. "Alright, I don't want to hear your excuses. If I find out you've taken leave without a valid reason again, I'll report your neglect of your studies. You'd better watch yourself."
He was receiving a subsidy from the school. If the school determined that he was just coasting along, the subsidy would most likely be reduced, or even... canceled.
Su Xiaosi's expression changed, and she hurriedly promised that there would never be a next time.
He clarified that he did have something to do yesterday; he needed to meet his older brother, who had been admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University for graduate studies, and wanted to show his brother around the campus.
The counselor frowned, but seeing his earnest expression, nodded. "Okay, I'll trust you one more time. Go ahead."
Su Xiaosi breathed a sigh of relief.
Once outside, his face was as ugly as could be.
Clutching his hands, he hated even Boss Su.
Just how much does Su Guotai hate to see him doing well, that he's avoiding him like this!
He searched the entire school but couldn't find him!
On Yao Jianshu's side, a large meeting was held early in the morning. Looking at the energetic young people below, Yao's sister-in-law smiled and said, "The materials from the investment promotion conference, as well as the information on the friendly countries and businessmen participating in this conference, have been bound into booklets and placed on your desks for your training..."
"...In addition, for this training, there will be groups of six, and the list is as follows..."
The list was released, and there were more than a dozen interviewers, each leading a group. Yao Jianshu also needed to lead a group. To avoid Jin Nan causing trouble, Yao's sister-in-law specially assigned him to another group.
But wherever there are people, there will be trouble.
In Yao Jianshu's group, there were people who were a bit older than Yao Jianshu, and some who were studying foreign languages at other universities and were about to graduate with master's degrees. They all thought they had more members than Yao Jianshu, who was only a first-year graduate student. They couldn't help but have some ulterior motives.
Some people noticed that Yao Jianshu had a close relationship with his sister-in-law, and they felt that Yao Jianshu had gotten the job through connections. Although they didn't dare to do anything underhanded, they would openly make things difficult for Yao Jianshu from time to time by giving him difficult questions, obscure words, and awkward translations.
If one person dares to pose a difficult question to Yao Jianshu, others will follow suit.
"Team Leader Yao, could you please tell me how to translate this?"
"Team Leader Yao, this word has several meanings. Which one is more appropriate here?"
"Team Leader Yao..."
Yao Jianshu glanced at them, accepting all comers. He would give the correct answer with a simple scan, and if there was any controversy, he would carefully consider and offer his own translation.
Alternatively, we could call other people over and discuss it together.
Sister-in-law Yao couldn't stand it anymore and felt that the people in her group were doing it on purpose, but she didn't want to speak up for her sister-in-law, fearing that it would backfire and make those people even more outrageous.
Yao Jianshu comforted her, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I can handle it. Being chased like this only fuels my enthusiasm..."
Sister-in-law Yao knew that her sister-in-law didn't want her to worry, so she turned a blind eye as long as it wasn't too outrageous.
Gradually, the members of Yao Jianshu's group stopped asking questions because they found that no matter what they asked, Yao Jianshu could give quick and accurate answers.
Information from dozens of countries, including the identities, backgrounds, personal preferences, and speaking habits of those foreign business partners—their brains were about to explode from memorizing all that information—yao Jianshu could handle with ease.
This is incredible!
They were certain that Yao Jianshu had obtained the information at the same time as them, because at first everyone stumbled over the information, but within a few days, they couldn't catch up with Yao Jianshu.
The group members who were initially unconvinced that she, a first-year graduate student, had become an interviewer and a group leader were now completely convinced.
In private conversations, they remarked with a mix of complaint and envy, "No wonder Deputy Minister Li noticed Team Leader Yao at first glance; her learning ability is just too strong. We can't compare, we really can't compare at all..."
Yao Jianshu also smiled and praised them, saying that they were all pillars of the country who had made it through all the challenges to become translators at the investment promotion conference, and that they were all very capable.
Upon hearing this, they were delighted to be praised by the genius and happily returned the compliment.
Everyone chatted and laughed, creating a joyful and harmonious atmosphere.
Jin Nan, who was passing by, overheard this and, with a cold face and furrowed brows, was filled with resentment.
He seized an opportunity to stop Yao Jianshu, who was out for a stroll, and said, "Yao Jianshu, let's have a chat."
He's been driven crazy by this lately.
That idiot Zhao Shucheng is looking for trouble. He threatened him by saying that Zhao Shucheng had instigated him to pick a fight with Yao Jianshu, and asked him to speak well of Yao Jianshu to Vice Minister Li and cover for him. "Just say that Yao Jianshu was targeting me and nitpicking to get rid of me. Otherwise, I will expose what you did to Yao Jianshu. If I don't get any benefits, neither will you."
A complete lunatic!
Who forced him with a gun? He was the one who was unwilling to accept it, caused a scene at the interview, and got slapped in the face by Yao Jianshu. Why blame him?!
Besides, who the hell would have thought that Zhao Shucheng, a top scorer, could mispronounce words and misunderstand the question?!
He was so frustrated and had nowhere to vent his anger!
"What's the matter?"
Jin Nan took things out of context, recounting Zhao Shucheng's threats but omitting the part where he instigated Zhao Shucheng to pick a fight with Yao Jianshu. Of course, he didn't hide his dislike for Yao Jianshu either. "...What are your thoughts on this?"
"You handle it yourself; I won't get involved in your conflict."
Yao Jianshu frowned slightly, raised her eyes and met Jin Nan's gaze, her eyes warning, "On the premise that neither of you is pointing your guns at me, otherwise, if you resort to dirty tricks, I don't mind making you regret it. Senior Jin is so smart and hardworking, he shouldn't want to ruin his future."
"you!"
Jin Nan frowned, his face unusually grim. "Yao Jianshu, I never expected that you, who seem so gentle, are actually so cunning and manipulative."
He certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to ruin his future.
He was just unhappy himself and couldn't stand seeing Yao Jianshu being recognized by the group members.
Yao Jianshu gave him a mocking glance.
He said, "One is influenced by one's company; I... I guess I was infected by you, Senior Jin."
Jin Nan, "..."
After Yao Jianshu finished speaking, he turned and left.
Jin Nan got even angrier and slammed his fist against the wall. A sharp pain shot through him, making him gasp.
He spat in the direction Yao Jianshu had left, "Why am I so unlucky? I should never have applied to mentor freshmen; none of them are easy to deal with..."
When he returned to school that evening, he pushed open the dormitory door and saw Zhao Shucheng sleeping soundly on his bed. He went up and kicked the edge of the bed, "Zhao Shucheng..."
