Chapter 68: Do You Want Brother or Senior Student? 1
Ye Chuxiao smiled and said, “I feel very fulfilled working in the design studio.”
Lin Chusheng walked towards Ye Chuxiao with a stern face.
Lu Ziyi immediately got up and also walked towards Ye Chuxiao.
Zhao Congrui, sitting closest to Ye Chuxiao, quickly took the stack of drawings from Xiaoxiao’s hands. He chuckled twice and said, “Alumnus Chusheng, please have a seat! Houchun, pour some tea!”
Ye Chuxiao thought that Brother Chusheng and Senior Student Ziyi were still sulking at each other because of that phone call a few days ago. It was all because she hadn’t done well in Advanced Mathematics, causing these two good friends to have friction.
To ease the atmosphere, Ye Chuxiao said with a smile, “Brother Chusheng, have you been to Senior Student Ziyi’s design studio before? Let me show you around, I’ve redecorated it! I also put in a lot of small potted plants, which Ziyi and I bought together!”
It would have been better if she hadn’t mentioned the last part. When Lin Chusheng heard that Xiaoxiao and Lu Ziyi had gone out and bought things together, he felt unhappy. Xiaoxiao used to only stick to him!
“I’m not looking,” Lin Chusheng said sullenly. “I’ve been here with Senior Student Jin Xian before. It’s just a small design studio, nothing to see! I came to talk to Xiaoxiao.”
“Sit down and talk, sit down and talk,” Zhao Congrui said to the guests in a seasoned manner, easing the tense atmosphere.
Ye Chuxiao pulled Lin Chusheng to sit on the sofa, and Lu Ziyi also came over.
Lin Houchun brewed the tea and poured it for everyone.
Lin Chusheng asked directly, “Xiaoxiao, it’s summer vacation now, when are you going back to France? I’ll book the plane tickets together.”
Ye Chuxiao paused. She hadn’t passed Advanced Mathematics and had to take a make-up exam before the start of the next semester. Senior Student Ziyi said he would tutor her during this summer vacation, teaching her thoroughly so that she could solve any problem, no matter what it was.
Seeing Ye Chuxiao look at Lu Ziyi, Lin Chusheng curled his thin lips, his tone somewhat cold, “Xiaoxiao isn’t seriously planning to stay as Ziyi’s assistant, is she? If Ziyi really needs staff, I can send two professional assistants from our Lin Group.”
Lu Ziyi’s aura was also cold and somber. Ye Chuxiao worried that these two would continue to bicker, so she quickly explained, “No, I’m not planning to go back to France this summer vacation…”
“Why?” Lin Chusheng interrupted, suppressing his annoyance. “Xiaoxiao is worried about the Advanced Mathematics make-up exam? And you want Ziyi to tutor you? The fact is that Ziyi can’t help Xiaoxiao pass Advanced Mathematics! Xiaoxiao, come back to France with me, I’ll tutor you!”
Ye Chuxiao said frankly, “I think Senior Student Ziyi’s method is quite good. I can solve many problems now. Perhaps it’s because I haven’t solved enough problems, so when I encounter a type of problem I don’t know, I can’t solve it.”
“A war of attrition with practice problems?” Lin Chusheng looked down at Lu Ziyi with dissatisfaction. “You want Xiaoxiao to keep writing problems and memorize every type of problem? That’s very low-class, you know?”
“No, no, no!” Ye Chuxiao quickly explained. “It’s my fault for not expressing myself well. Senior Student Ziyi didn’t ask me to write a lot of problems. He summarized them for me, and I’ve mastered many problem-solving methods. It’s the first time I’ve felt like I understand mathematics.”
Lu Ziyi said firmly, “I understand Xiaoxiao’s situation, and I have my methods. In the two months of summer vacation, I guarantee that Xiaoxiao will not only pass the make-up exam but also truly master the subject of Advanced Mathematics!”
Lin Chusheng still didn’t believe Lu Ziyi. He persuaded Ye Chuxiao again, “Xiaoxiao, let’s go back to France together. Jie’er is also going to France, we can take her sightseeing together, and then I’ll tutor you in Advanced Mathematics. With a balance of work and rest, you’ll learn more easily.”
