back in the 1980s.After Su Licheng finished speaking, his eyes landed on Su Cun, somewhat surprised: "What are you doing here"However, since he and Tong Jianjun were currently dealing with a headache-...Chapter 57: Potential Stock

Zhuo Na asked Su Can quietly behind Song Shou Lao, "Are you angry

""It seems like it's been a long time since you've seen your brother. Did you ask me to come here just for that"

Her face turned red, “We haven’t even gotten engaged yet! When he graduated high school, he wrote me love letters. I didn't know he got my number when he went to college and started chatting with me online. The last time your uncle came over to attend a provincial department meeting, he dropped by the university to see me. And guess what He saw us together. It was so embarrassing! You know how your uncle is; we had dinner at a restaurant, and he truly believed that I found a boyfriend in school! I didn't know how to explain it to him. Your uncle kept asking about the other person's family background and school, making me wish I could just dig a hole in the ground and hide."

Su Can nodded. Although he wanted to think of his uncle as an extraordinary figure, there were always various shortcomings.

He could nonchalantly flick cigarettes offered by others into a drawer; he casually put red envelopes given at project ribbon-cutting ceremonies in his pocket; and he often evaluated people based on their family background, education level, and achievements to see if they met his standards.

Deng Songqi must have received plenty of disapproving looks from his uncle. Zhuo Na was a student majoring in oral material science at the School of Stomatology at Medical University, although her grades weren't the best in her department; nevertheless, she had an unlimited future ahead of her. In contrast, Deng Songqi, who studied e-commerce at College of Information Science and Engineering at Electronic Science and Technology University, would seem inferior to his uncle.

Moreover, since Zeng Quanming was about to be transferred to serve as the deputy director of Fuzhou Commission, he naturally paid close attention to his daughter's personal matters.

This is how it left an impression on Su Can. Later, when his older sister Zhuo Na married at thirty, it had a lot to do with her uncle's intervention. Even in the previous life when Zeng Quanming was declining, he still hesitated before accepting it due to her age; if she hadn't gotten married by then, she would be considered an old maid.

Now that his uncle was climbing higher and higher, his confidence swelling with each step, his intervention in Zhuo Na's affairs would勢必更加嚴苛。

"So, you asked me to come here today so that I could give you my opinion And also let Uncle inform him that he is not your boyfriend at the moment," Su Cun hit upon Zeng Na's deepest thought in one sentence.

“Who else would ask us to send only you to No. 27 High School, who else would say there has never been anyone like you and will be no one like you Oh, right,” Big sister first smiled apologetically, then when she mentioned her grades, her eyebrows furrowed and she regained some of her assertiveness, "How is your final exam result this time Can you be in the top five in your class"

"I'm not Superman, big sis," Su Cun was helpless. "The people at our school are still very abnormal, sadly I’m not abnormal enough yet. Do my best and besides, it’s better to take some time out to freely arrange things rather than putting all efforts into studying the subject."

“Alright,” Zeng Na thought for a moment, "Anyway, just ensure that your grades are good enough to get you admitted to the university you want. Let's return to the topic at hand. Of course I have to tell my old stick-in-the-mud uncle about it, haven't you seen he hasn’t talked to me in two weeks By the way, although now is only a trial period and I’ve agreed to give him an opportunity, if— I mean if— there's even the slightest possibility that we can be together, at that time you still have to persuade your old relic of an uncle!”

Su Cun looked at that Song Qi’s back view. Although he was walking in front, he walked very heavily, always giving people a sense as if his steps were staggering, making Su Cun both laugh and cry, it seemed that his opinion now would greatly affect their future.

This made Su Cun feel more at ease. At least from this point on, one could see that Song Qi was very anxious for Zeng Na.

Su Cun knew that many things were no longer within his control, so he would also have to be more cautious. This Song Qi was not the image of his big brother-in-law in his previous life before rebirth; all along hearing Big Sister talking beside him, Su Cun had a real yet vague feeling and remembered some impressions from his past life. It seemed that Big Sister mentioned having this Song Qi on the day before her wedding.

Back then they were classmates who liked each other, but after entering university, they maintained contact due to certain reasons. In their second year of college, he had a girlfriend and started walking down different paths from her. Later, when he found that he could never forget Zeng Na, he broke up with his girlfriend; however, by then, Zeng Na was already on the eve of marriage.

It couldn’t be changed now. All these things were yet to happen before him and instead it was a brand new beginning.

Su Cun looked at Song Qi’s back view and asked, "Big Sister, from this perspective, his family doesn't seem to have much power or money either, which is quite different from your previous goals. Right"

"Hey! I said he has the chance to pursue me, but it hasn’t reached a final result yet," Zeng Na raised her eyebrows and then sighed, "Actually, how many people are both wealthy and good for you in this world He doesn't have money, but that doesn't mean he isn’t a potential stock. If everything is like your uncle’s requirements, I might as well marry someone just like my mother did—such an old-fashioned person, what a boring life it would be."

Su Cun nodded and the three of them entered a famous restaurant outside Medical University.

When the menu was brought up and placed on the table, Song Qi wasn’t as nervous anymore. However, facing Su Cun who was only in high school at most his little brother's age, being too nervous would make Su Cun look down on him.

Deng Songqi ordered some dishes and then shared a few interesting stories about University of Electronic Science and Technology to lighten the mood. He then suggested, “Zeng Na, our school's cinema is showing 'Gladiator' next week. I managed to get two tickets from the student union. Would you like to come with me”

Zeng Na smiled slightly. "You mean that legend about a couple who enter the cinema at 8:30 pm on the same day and become an item I might have something else planned for that day, let's make another arrangement."

Deng Songqi chuckled. "Alright then, we'll plan it for another time." The disappointment in his eyes was fleeting.

Su Can thought to himself that this guy had once again been rejected despite his careful planning. This man seemed undeterred by repeated rejections and still had the courage to keep trying. Su Can found this admirable.

"Su Can, your sister said you attend school at No. 27 High School; your grades must be excellent," mentioned Deng Songqi, who was already aware of Zeng Na's younger brother.

“The atmosphere in the school is quite intense. In such an environment, it's natural to be influenced positively,” Su Can replied.

Deng Songqi nodded and said earnestly, "Keep up the good work. You'll definitely get into a great university one day. Your grades are impressive. To have excelled from junior high school and then transferred to No. 27 High School is quite remarkable."

His words were sincere, and there was evident surprise in Deng Songqi's eyes for Su Can.

The dishes arrived at the table. Deng Songqi asked Su Can, "Would you like a bottle of beer"

Seeing that Su Can nodded in agreement, Deng Songqi promptly called over the waiter to get a bottle of beer. Throughout their conversation, Zeng Na had been silently observing from the side with a smile.

This situation made Su Can chuckle inwardly. In his past experience, whenever his sister talked about grades or life principles in front of him, she would only criticize and lecture. She had never exhibited such a demeanor towards someone else nor placed so much emphasis on her opinions, which was quite extraordinary.

After a few drinks, Deng Songqi became more talkative. He felt that Su Cen was not an ordinary high school student and appreciated his unique insights, making him even more eager to chat. "My family wants me to work at the newspaper after I graduate from university; everything has been arranged, just waiting for my internship. But I don't want that—I hate working for others. I hope to start something on my own. Working for myself should be more exciting. In school, I started a club called Web Design Club and hope to open a studio like this after graduation. That sounds pretty good, right Actually, I really admire the idea behind the recent magazine called 'Big Pineapple Campus Consumption,' it's quite business-savvy,"

Zeng Na nodded and explained to Su Cen, "It’s an initiative by a middle-aged teacher who gathered some graduating students to start this publication. It has become very popular in many universities! It lists various discounts from restaurants and shops across the city. You can use these coupons for significant savings at places like Chengdu's famous dining spots. Some say they even have discounts as high as 80% off!"

Su Cen forced a smile, "Yeah, I understand." At least this indirectly showed that 'Big Pineapple' was quite successful in establishing its influence across universities in the city.

After some thought, Su Cen asked, "Mr. Deng, when your club designs websites for others, are all of you students majoring in Computer Science or Information Technology Are your technical skills really top-notch"

Deng Songqi seemed a bit taken aback at first by being called ‘Old Deng,’ but soon accepted it happily. When Su Cen mentioned their technical expertise, his confidence soared, "Our club members include students from the Department of Electronic Information Engineering, Microelectronics Technology Department, and senior-year Computer Science majors, even graduate students. I'm just the president; our chairman is incredibly skilled. He won first prize in our school's programming competition. Although I came in second behind him, I deeply respect his abilities. As for other areas, at least regarding web design, there are few who can match us, and they usually don't show themselves."

Su Cen was intrigued, "Do you know Fan"

Deng Songqi looked puzzled, "What’s that"

Su Cen patted his head. He realized that at this time, there were no large-scale campus community and social networking platforms like Baidu Tieba or Qianxin Network yet; even the wildly popular Qianxin.com had not appeared back then. Su Cen might be able to take a lead in these areas.

Deng Songqi found himself increasingly unsure about Su Cen's intentions with his smiles and words, sensing that another 'Arthur' was being groomed.
