"Don't be so formal, I'm here as Xiao Fan's friend. I'll help with anything I can."
Su Yurou wore a perfunctory smile, feeling utterly disdainful inside.
You have a true Buddha right in front of you and don't know how to curry favor, what's the point of flattering me?
Given her relationship with Zhou Yi, even if she swallowed her pride and begged, she'd be lucky to get thirty to fifty thousand at most.
But if Lin Fan were to step in...
Tsk, that would be incredible.
As long as he dared to accept, Zhou Yi might even give it away for free!
Tang Yu nudged Zhang Liang's arm with her elbow, mouthing, "Introduce us!"
Zhang Liang understood and immediately smiled, "Hello, President Su, I'm Lin Fan's classmate, Zhang Liang."
As he spoke, Zhang Liang enthusiastically extended his hand.
"Mmm."
Su Yurou nodded lightly, ungraciously neither standing up nor shaking Zhang Liang's hand.
Zhang Liang felt a moment of awkwardness, his smile frozen on his face, unsure what to do.
"Why are you just standing there? Sit down quickly."
Tang Yu tugged at Zhang Liang's sleeve. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she had more important matters to ask Su Yurou about.
"Hello, President Su, I'm Zhang Liang's girlfriend, Tang Yu. I'll be applying to Shanghai University next year."
"A private university?" Su Yurou blinked in surprise, then smiled, "Good idea. The economic situation isn't great right now, and there are more and more university students too."
"To make a name for yourself in such circumstances, independent knowledge and original thought are indeed the most important."
"If you can work in the system in the future, it will be a good thing for society and the country."
"Young lady, you're very far-sighted!"
Hearing Su Yurou say this, Tang Yu immediately became excited. "I saw on the public recruitment information that the mayor of each city can recommend a few students, and I happen to specialize in..."
"I see!" Su Yurou understood Tang Yu's intentions without even having to think.
Private universities in Huaxia were different from private universities abroad.
Abroad, as long as you had money, you could get in.
But in Huaxia, it was different. To attend a private university in Huaxia, your college entrance exam scores had to reach the same level as public universities in the capital.
In addition, the mayor of each city could recommend three students. As long as these three students had a specialized subject and their college entrance exam scores were not lower than five hundred, they would be accepted.
Every year, the mayors of major cities would recommend three students with specialized subjects, meaning students who excelled in one particular field.
Coincidentally, Tang Yu specialized in history. With the recommendation of the mayor of Yunqing City, she could attend Shanghai University.
Shanghai University was the number one private university in Huaxia, with a teaching standard even surpassing Harvard abroad. Every student dreamed of going there!
Thinking of this, Su Yurou subconsciously looked at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan, not understanding why, was completely bewildered.
Seeing this, Zhang Liang immediately asked, "President Su, what use is he? You're not joking, are you, that Xiao Fan can help?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Tang Yu nervously pushed Zhang Liang and then looked at Su Yurou, cautiously asking, "President Su, I have a specialized subject, history, and my scores will definitely be far above five hundred."
"It's just... do you know anyone?"
"As long as you can help connect me, I'll be very grateful!"
Yunqing City was far from the capital, and without connections, she couldn't even dream of attending Shanghai University!
Even though she specialized in history, there were students in Yunqing City who specialized in physics, politics, biology, and so on!
These were all more important subjects than history.
So it wouldn't be her turn!
Of course, if there was a recommendation, it would be different.
If you're capable, you're capable; if you're not, you're capable!
If you're not capable, you're not capable; if you are, you're not capable!
Su Yurou felt like crying and laughing at the same time.
Why were they all coming to her for everything?
Go find Xiao Fan!
With his relationship with Wang Ying, Wang Ying's father could settle it with a single word.
"This..."
Su Yurou, though good at navigating social situations, didn't know what to say at this moment.
She reached under the dining table and poked Lin Fan's leg.
Lin Fan turned to look at her and asked, "Why are you poking me?"
"They're asking if you know anyone, what good is poking me?"
Su Yurou snorted. You slept in the same bed as the planning bureau chief's daughter, so who else would be useful if not you?
As long as Wang Ying's father approached the mayor, the mayor would definitely not refuse, humph!
Su Yurou looked at Tang Yu and deferred, "I'll ask around when I get back."
"Thank you, President Su, for the trouble."
Tang Yu was overjoyed, her eyes turning red.
Her parents were just ordinary employees of a listed company and had no access to the powerful.
Now, Su Yurou was undoubtedly the most capable person to help her at the moment.
At this moment, the waiter began to serve the dishes, and soon all the exquisitely presented dishes were laid out.
Zhang Liang unscrewed a bottle of Maotai, poured himself a glass, then stood up and respectfully said to Su Yurou, "President Su, I'll toast you. I'll drink mine neat, please help yourself."
It concerned his girlfriend's future, so he naturally didn't dare to be careless.
He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Su Yurou didn't even look at him, lowering her head to peel a crayfish and saying, "I don't eat after meals."
Zhang Liang was very annoyed, thinking, "If you don't eat, why are you peeling shrimp?"
While confused, Zhang Liang and Tang Yu saw Su Yurou meticulously remove the head and shell of the shrimp and then, holding the pinkish-white shrimp meat, feed it to Lin Fan's mouth!
The two were instantly dumbfounded.
What on earth was going on?
"I can do it myself."
Lin Fan took the shrimp meat. He felt too embarrassed to show affection in front of outsiders.
"I just peeled it, taste it and see if it's good."
Su Yurou's voice was soft and tender, sending a shiver down Lin Fan's spine.
Zhang Liang stared intently at Lin Fan, mentally shouting, "What kind of friends are these? What kind of friends act like this?"
"They're involved!"
Tang Yu thought a bit more than Zhang Liang.
Why would the owner of a high-end beauty salon be interested in a village doctor from a remote village?
Moreover, it seemed like Lin Fan was in control of their relationship.
Did this kid have something extraordinary about him?
After Lin Fan finished one crayfish, Su Yurou started peeling another diligently. "I'll peel another one for you."
"No need."
Lin Fan really didn't expect Su Yurou to be so unreserved in front of outsiders.
Fortunately, it was just peeling shrimp. If there were any inappropriate intimate actions, and Zhang Liang spread the word back in the village to Xia Xue and Song Yue, it would be difficult for him to explain.
"Xiao Fan, you've made it big now!"
Zhang Liang re-examined Lin Fan.
Regardless, to have a beautiful woman, and a successful boss at that, personally dote on him, the sheer fortune was enviable!
"Not at all."
Lin Fan buried his head in his food, not knowing what to say.
