Chapter 473: Little Sister Comes First
Translator: Henyee Translations I Editor: Henyee Translations
Murong Qiao had carefully carved out her thesis and modified it a lot. When it was rejected again, she asked her Third Brother.
She knew what the problem was and what the information was. At this moment, when she heard Xi Jiangmao picking on the minor issues on the other end of the phone, her heart did not waver.
No matter how she changed it, it was not right. She might as well not change it.
“…I understand, Teacher Xi.” This time, Murong Qiao was the first to end the call.
As soon as she hung up, she dialed another number.
Murong Qiao asked as soon as the call was picked up.
“Leng Yan, I’m not in school. Help me ask the other students who are editing their thesis how they’re doing.”
After being promoted to the fourth year of university, Leng Yan’s results were outstanding and she could be considered half a class monitor. There was definitely no mistake in asking her about this.
After being surprised by Murong Qiao’s question for a moment, Leng Yan nodded and agreed to reply to her immediately.
After a while, the call came back.
Leng Yan gave an answer. “Other than you, there should be five or six people
who haven’t submitted their thesis.”
She thought that Murong Qiao was busy and didn’t have time to work on her thesis. After thinking for a moment, she added,
“Qiaoqiao, don’t worry. Everyone will pass after changing it once or twice. The teacher is quite nice,” Leng Yan comforted.
However, it was these words that made Murong Qiao even more certain of her guess.
“…I understand. Thank you.”
She ended the call, took a deep breath, and looked at the thesis that had not been changed at all after it was rejected the last time. She directly renamed it as ‘Fourth Version’. The content wasn’t changed at all before she sent it back to
Teacher Xi’s email.
After half a day, the other party’s reply did not surprise her.
[Amend]
Among the few lines of excuses, this word seemed to be emphasized and thickened. It appeared in Murong Qiao’s eyes.
Including the previous ones, this was the fourth rejection. Moreover, this time, Murong Qiao looked at the other party’s reply carefully and realized that this Teacher Xi didn’t notice that her thesis hadn’t been changed at all.
He even “seriously” picked out the mistakes again. It was different from the last time as he picked out new patterns.
“Interesting.” Murong Qiao snorted.
She closed her computer and planned to go to school.
However, this time, she was not looking for Xi Jiangmao, but her Third
Brother, Murong Chuan.
It was Friday, and the students had run out early in the morning. The teachers could also leave early. There was no one in the school at this moment, so there was less joy.
Murong Qiao got out of the car and walked in from the school gate, heading straight for her Third Brother’s office.
Her Third Brother had sent her home in the past, so Murong Qiao knew her Third Brother’s weekly schedule very well. She knew that the other party was m his office now and was most likely researching.
She knocked on the door and walked in. When she met her Third Brother’s surprised gaze, she didn’t take the initiative to greet him for the first time. Murong Chuan was meticulous. Seeing his Little Sister visit so suddenly and didn’t inform her in advance, when she entered, her expression couldn’t be said to be happy. She immediately put aside what she was doing.
“Why are you upset?” he asked in a gentler voice.
Murong Qiao was silent for a moment. After staring at her Third Brother’s slightly worried eyes and confirming that she had closed the door, she turned around and sat opposite Murong Chuan. She took out her computer and placed it on the table.
Seeing that his Little Sister did not deny it immediately, Murong Chuan confirmed his guess.
She thought for a moment and asked, “Is it that obvious?”
“It’s very obvious to me.” Murong Chuan chuckled.
His gaze landed on the edge of Murong Qiao’s gently pursed lips. Every time his Little Sister was unhappy, the corners of her mouth would curl up. Ever since he observed this, it was easy to judge her mood.
It was unknown if Murong Qiao was amused by these words or something, but her originally tense expression relaxed and softened when she heard Murong Chuan’s words. She subconsciously revealed a smile.
-Big Brother, 1 came here at the last minute to ask something.” Murong Qiao sat up straight.
She adjusted the computer and turned the screen to face her Third Brother.
“About the thesis.”
“isn’t the thesis written quite well?” Murong Chuan found it strange. Murong Qiao smiled when she heard this. “Big Brother, you think it’s quite good, but our teacher doesn’t.”
She didn’t hesitate and told her Third Brother everything about the thesis, including the fact that she had been rejected four times and the doubts in her heart.
Murong Chuan’s smiling eyes gradually turned cold, and even the corners of his mouth flattened.
The usually gentle Third Brother’s expression became serious, making one shudder.
“Leave this to me.” Murong Chuan closed his computer.
How could there be a problem with the thesis that he had guided? On the other hand, that teacher…
Thinking of the other party’s actions of making things difficult for his Little Sister, Murong Chuan’s eyes darkened, and the smile in his eyes turned cold.
He remembered this matter and looked at his Little Sister. “Remember to tell me early if something like this happens again.
When his Little Sister suffered even a little, Murong Chuan would feel responsible as her Big Brother.
“Alright.” Murong Qiao smiled warmly.
Since Murong Chuan said that he would handle this matter, Murong Qiao nodded obediently and turned around to go to the company to work while waiting for the results.
His Little Sister’s matter naturally came first.
After Murong Qiao left, Murong Chuan started to investigate this matter. With his authority, he directly pulled out the information of the teachers in the Economics and Management Department and found the teacher in charge 0 the thesis. He called him and asked him to explain his intentions.
“Thesis?” The other party was puzzled. “I’m indeed in charge of the thesis, but the day before yesterday, Senior Xi Jiangmao said that he wanted to do this kind of work and said that he wanted to see the standard of this batch of students, so I gave it to him.”
The matter of going through the thesis of so many students gave many teachers a headache. Now that someone had taken the initiative to take over this job, and the reason was that he was a senior, no matter how he looked at it, there was no reason for him not to let him do it.
Moreover, this would save him trouble. Why not?
Murong Chuan understood what the other party meant. “Have you handed everything to Teacher Xi?”
“That’s not it,” the teacher said in embarrassment. “How would I dare to let Senior bear all the work? There’s so much work. He only wants to take a portion of it. I’ll take care of the rest.”
“Alright, send me the portion he took,” Murong Chuan replied.
He looked at the computer screen at the same time. On it was the information about Xi Jiangmao.
The teacher quickly sent the portion distributed to Xi Jiangmao to Murong Chuan’s computer.
Coincidentally, among all the papers, only Murong Qiao’s thesis was not approved yet.
On the other hand, a few students who usually failed the subjects had passed the evaluation in one go.
This situation…
Murong Chuan looked at Xi Jiangmao’s information column and pondered. On Monday next week, when it was almost time to get off work, Murong Chuan knocked on Xi Jiangmao’s office door.
Knock knock knock.
The three knocks sounded unhurriedly.
Murong Chuan stood outside the office with his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker. When he heard a response from inside, he slowly walked in.
“Teacher Xi.” He greeted first.
When Xi Jiangmao saw that it was Murong Chuan, he immediately stood up. “You, why are you here?!”
In terms of age and qualifications, Xi Jiangmao was older, but when he saw Murong Chuan and heard the surname Murong, he didn’t dare to sit down.
“It’s nothing. 1 came to greet you.” Murong Chuan smiled and sat down. This smile made Xi Jiangmao feel even more guilty. He almost couldn’t even maintain the kind and friendly expression on his face.
He knew Murong Chuan’s concern towards Murong Qiao. Coupled with what he had done previously, Xi Jiangmao’s heart was in turmoil.
Murong Chuan seemed to mention it casually.. “You have a good relationship with the Jiang family?”
