"What's up?"
For a moment, Su Huai was so confused by his actions.
The defiant child wasn't somebody who would easily give in, right?
Someone who could survive cremation with his mouth intact, who'd even talk back to his own father with gusto, what's up with him now?
"Huai..."
"Hold on a second!"
Su Huai quickly raised his hand to interrupt Wu Tianyou, "Reset yourself to factory settings. I still prefer your rebellious spirit."
"Brother! When have I ever been wild in front of you? Am I even worthy?!"
Wu Tianyou successfully made Su Huai laugh.
In their past life, they had been at the same school for seven years, and he had never seen Wu Tianyou so submissive and obsequious; he had always been full of arrogance and swagger.
Although he never really did anything to him, it was still quite disgusting.
Today was indeed a fresh experience.
Su Huai lifted his eyelids, "What's the meaning of this, Mr. Wu? Speak your piece, but I'm just a little class leader, so watch your step."
Wu Tianyou rubbed his hands together, his face full of smiles, carefully considering his words.
"Look, you've completely switched to Big Data, so doesn't that leave a spot open in E-commerce? Brother, could you do me a favor and let me transfer in to fill that spot?"
Wow!
Su Huai was utterly astonished on the spot.
King Dog, you've really got some nerve...
And the willingness to swallow your pride, no wonder you end up doing so well in your previous life.
"Huai, please help me out, bro. I'll be grateful for a lifetime!"
Wu Tianyou kept persistently pleading with Su Huai, knowing full well he couldn't make it happen, and was also clear that his family couldn't either.
But there was a successful man in front of him, so once he clung on, he wouldn't let go.
Hearing their conversation, Chen Nuanhan suddenly felt very nervous.
Su Huai transferring away indeed upset her a lot; not only did she lose a handy friend, but it also deeply wounded her pride and confidence.
But in the end, this wasn't a big deal, as they were still in the same faculty. They would still see each other all the time, so it wouldn't affect her continuing to hang out with Su Huai.
But if Wu Tianyou transferred to her class...
Just the thought caused Chen Nuanhan to shudder uncontrollably.
She really didn't like Wu Tianyou. The guy was too showy, too boisterous, and too clingy.
Chen Nuanhan cared a lot about her image; she was terrified that Wu Tianyou would cling to her daily, cause a ruckus everywhere, drawing her into all kinds of drama.
Having occasional interactions with an ostentatious second-generation rich kid like Wu Tianyou was bearable, but being harassed by him daily was too much to stand.
If there was any possibility, she wouldn't want to be in the same class with Wu Tianyou.
Tall, Rich, and Handsome or not, I'm not lacking money to spend!
Without waiting for Su Huai to respond, she stepped forward and quietly tugged on Su Huai's arm from the other side.
In the heat of the summer, they were both wearing T-shirts. Her warm little hand gripped Su Huai's forearm, bringing a soft, smooth sensation, along with a faint fragrance that wafted into the young man's nose.
Su Huai glanced sideways to see her pursing her lips, furrowing her brows, looking pitiful with a "please please" expression, and fiercely signaling with her eyes at him.
Su Huai nodded slightly.
Chen Nuanhan was overjoyed.
I knew you wouldn't leave me to be bothered by that pest!
Her face bloomed with a vivid smile like spring flowers, not overly sweet, but radiantly bright.
The next second, she heard Su Huai speak earnestly.
"Out of consideration for Nuannuan, I can help you submit a transfer request to your class's Mr. Liu, but let's be clear, do you really want this?"
"Yes, yes, really! I really do!"
Wu Tianyou was over the moon, hastily expressing his stance, "I really like E-commerce, it has high scores and good prospects... and being with Nuannuan, we can look out for each other!"
Smart dog!
Su Huai couldn't help but chuckle and nodded, then patted his shoulder solemnly, "Alright, I'll do my best to help. The responsibility of taking care of Nuannuan is now on you."
"Got it!"
Wu Tianyou jumped with excitement, nearly bursting with joy, "Huai, just wait and see!"
Meanwhile, Chen Nuanhan's expression completely collapsed by the side.
(⊙ˍ⊙)
What just happened?
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
God damn it, Su Huai!!!
She panicked, tugging insistently at Su Huai's arm, but still not daring to speak out and stop him – after all, Wu Tianyou said he was aiming for a good major, what reason did she have to object?
Su Huai smiled gently at her, softly saying, "Old classmate, our school has too many girls and too few boys, and sometimes you might be in trouble without a guy around. Since Wu likes E-Commerce, let him be your companion. He can do some physical work, and I'll be at ease to focus on my stuff. How about that, am I considerate or what?"
Oh, right, right, you really are such a good person!
Chen Nuanhan thought Su Huai had misunderstood her, and it wasn't convenient to explain now, so she could only roll her eyes in silence and curse inside her head.
But she didn't curse Su Huai—Little Su had her best interests at heart. Although he messed things up, his loyalty was commendable.
So she had a good rant about Wu Tianyou instead.
Why are you so damn annoying?
You're like a persistent debtor or a clingy pest. Can't you live without sticking to me?!
Seeing Chen Nuanhan's frustrated and helpless expression as if she had nowhere to vent her anger, Gou Huai almost burst into laughter, the effort to hold it in making the corners of his mouth twitch uncontrollably.
Hahaha!
This is just too funny; watch you two torture each other. I love this show!
He wasn't worried at all that Wu Tianyou, being close to Chen Nuanhan, could really win her over.
Their conflicting personalities and incompatible values had already doomed them to struggle even as friends.
Wu Tianyou was willing to endure and to fawn, but Chen Nuanhan never compromised herself.
In her past life, she had barely paid any attention to Wu Tianyou, and it was even less likely that anything unexpected would happen in this life.
And what's even more interesting?
In the original history, Wu Tianyou only showed enthusiasm for Chen Nuanhan for half a month, an entire military training period.
Once Gu Jiuyue parachuted into Data Management, Wu Tianyou immediately switched his tune.
This guy's initial nickname was Crazy Dog, meaning he was ferociously biting anyone he could, with a particularly vicious tongue.
Later, when he started desperately flattering Gu Jiuyue like a braindead fan, even mentioning her obsessively during high school reunions back home, he finally became Gou King.
Both biting and fawning, he was the king among dogs.
But he wasn't fawning for nothing, being classmates who shared everything. Although Gu Jiuyue didn't like him, she valued old ties.
So, after he adjusted his attitude, he received quite a few opportunities that slipped through Gu Jiuyue's fingers, eventually becoming far more successful than his father.
Now look at Su Huai from the past life? Even as a bootlicker, he licked the wrong person!
But now, everything's been turned upside down.
Gou King is eagerly looking to accompany Chen Nuanhan, and she genuinely dislikes Wu Tianyou. How can Su Huai not facilitate this?!
No need to thank me. Who else is your great daddy here~~~
Immediately, Su Huai sent a WeChat message to Liu: "Mr. Liu, the classmate from my hometown who registered with me just happens to be a new student in Data Management, and now he's setting his sights on the spot in E-commerce. Do you think there's a chance?"
Liu Yutang replied without hesitation, "Should be no problem.
It's difficult to transfer from a lower to a higher major, but there are exceptions.
We're talking an internal transfer within the same faculty, plus there is a spot available, akin to a swap of majors.
After all, you already transferred, bringing him along with you is something I can manage."
What Liu left unsaid was: With the weight you carry with Director Zhang, it's just a word away.
Without hesitation, Su Huai arranged it: "I'll tell him to look for you."
Then added another message: "This kid's family is pretty well off."
Liu Yutang was startled and quickly clarified: "Don't bring those unrelated things into this, it's just normal work, what does family have to do with it?"
Because it was text communication, Liu's response was very cautious.
Su Huai smiled knowingly and typed rapidly: "Relax, I'm aware of the situation. But if I help him and he insists on thanking me, what's it to anyone else? As for us, that's solid student-teacher friendship~~~"
In his office, Liu Yutang slapped his thigh and blurted, "Damn, this kid is really something!"
Su Huai looked up after sending the message; lo and behold, Wu Tianyou was gazing at him with eager eyes, nearly wagging his tongue to act cute.
"It's doable."
Just two simple words, and instantly, Wu Tianyou was moved to the point of tears.
"Bro!"
Wu Tianyou warmly called him bro, with no regard for his image.
"You are my real brother. From now on, wherever you point, I'll punch!"
Su Huai didn't believe a word and couldn't bother with more chatter. With a titled head towards the east, he said, "Now, go to the supermarket and buy four packs of Zhonghua soft-pack cigarettes, and put them in a black plastic bag."
"That's it?!"
Wu Tianyou's eyes widened in delight, "Just a few packs of cigarettes to settle it?"
"Dream on."
Su Huai scoffed and then lifted his chin, "On your way, call your dad and ask if he's willing to shell out thirty thousand yuan. It's a low-to-high transfer, not like mine."
"Damn! Thirty thousand?!"
Su Huai thought he was balking at the price and started frowning when the ecstatic son of a rich landlord suddenly clapped his hands in glee.
"Why ask my dad? I've got the money myself! Huai, I'll transfer it to you right away!"
"..."
Damn, the rich brat!
