Senior Chen Yusheng

The feeling of being a student and being a teacher is obviously completely different.

Working for a teacher only requires completing the assigned tasks without needing to think too much. Even for someone as naturally gifted as Chen Yusheng, the thing she needed to think about the most was how to slack off...

After all, a lot of the time, if you finish your tasks too quickly, the teacher will just assign you more.

Over time, it becomes a vicious cycle, and the burden on your shoulders gets heavier and heavier.

Some straightforward students easily fall into this trap. Coupled with the fact that students are often too thin-skinned to make reasonable demands, the end result is being reduced to a beast of burden.

Although Chen Yusheng seemed like someone who didn't like to talk, she was very clear-headed. Even during the period when she badly needed money and was working for Professor Luo, she never fell into the beast of burden trap. It had to be said that her IQ was indeed online.

As for now, with Su Bai—an investor with high stats and thick skin—she no longer needed to worry about being exploited by any mentor. Instead, she started directing others to do the work.

This shift in perspective was quite fresh.

Just ask, what student gets the chance to be a leader in their freshman year? Although not a big leader, without accumulated experience or a profound background, it usually takes a lot of time to reach the stage of leading a team. Chen Yusheng essentially skipped this entire period.

This phenomenon made the senior brothers and sisters in the lab very envious, even a bit sour, but deep down, they didn't feel it was unreasonable.

A genius receiving special treatment is certainly a beautiful thing. It's just that, normally, it doesn't go this smoothly; this was a matter of luck.

Li Xingya was rather oblivious to the emotional fluctuations in the lab, or rather, she didn't have the mind to pay attention to them. She just diligently studied under Chen Yusheng.

Compared to Chen Yusheng's privileges in the lab, the things she had been exposed to before were just child's play.

So she had no choice but to focus her energy on studying hard.

Li Xingya took this opportunity very seriously. For a student from the neighboring normal university, chances to access high-quality resources were rare. Not to mention she was already a junior; if she didn't seize the opportunity now, it would be very difficult to change career paths later.

Today was yet another dizzying day.

Let's go eat first. If we wait any longer, the cafeteria will get crowded.

Mhm, okay... Sister Yusheng.

...I told you not to call me Sister.

Um, I, I didn't mean it like that...

Like what?

Just... thinking you look old, or something.

...

Chen Yusheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Where did this girl Li Xingya's mind wander off to?

She was never afraid of others thinking she looked old. After all, Chen Yusheng naturally had that mature, older-sister vibe, making her look more mature than the average college girl. But this wasn't a bad thing. In many situations, looking mature was roughly equivalent to looking like someone not easily bullied.

Facts proved that this was indeed a good thing. Even before meeting Su Bai, Chen Yusheng often relied on her aloofness and deadpan expression to scare off those who tried to infringe upon her legitimate rights.

Now it seemed she had intimidated Li Xingya as well.

This person was a bit submissive. Despite being a junior and technically a senior to her, she had a timid, innocent vibe. This couldn't help but remind Chen Yusheng of Lu Yuning. That sister was the same; despite having graduated from college, placed among the group of female confidantes, she still appeared rather weak-willed.

Being weak-willed is also an innate attribute, huh.

Maybe Su Bai took a fancy to her for this very reason? Makes sense, occasionally one needs to have a pitiful little cake as a change of pace. Hmph, I, Chen Yusheng, completely understand!

Chen Yusheng felt she understood the Big White Goose very well.

Therefore, even if she and Li Xingya worked together with great enthusiasm, it couldn't delay dinnertime.

This girl was a bit malnourished. Judging from her complexion, she belonged to the type who didn't eat properly and had somewhat poor sleep. This wouldn't do. Chen Yusheng felt that, as a great senior (in the sense of being a female confidante), she had to correct Li Xingya's lifestyle habits!

So Chen Yusheng squeezed Li Xingya's shoulders from behind and repeated, Let's go eat!

Hiss... Ah, okay, okay...

Li Xingya moved her neck, baring her teeth in pain.

Chen Yusheng's grip was quite strong... She looked so slender and elegant, truly you can't judge a book by its cover.

Rumor has it she insists on working out regularly?

Sure enough, she's a super excellent junior.

Speaking of which, Li Xingya couldn't treat Chen Yusheng as a junior at all. Because from all aspects, she was too precocious. With her graceful and moving bodily curves, plus the slight married-woman vibe she had cultivated from her long-term, rich private life with Su Bai, in short, she looked much more mature than Li Xingya in every way.

You must eat on time. You can't neglect your nutrition, otherwise where will you get the energy to work?

Mhm, you're right...

From now on, just call me Shengsheng. Don't call me Senior, and definitely don't call me Teacher.

Okay!

Looking at Li Xingya's earnest expression, Chen Yusheng found it a bit hard to keep a straight face. She had even called her weird names like Old Master Chen before.

Hey, guess what? Old Master Chen, the cobbler at the village entrance!

Li Xingya wasn't a student of Jiang University. The temporary meal card she applied for didn't have any subsidy discounts. Recharging a hundred yuan only gave you eighty yuan in value. Perhaps this magical exchange rate made Li Xingya feel the pinch, so she was very frugal when eating, only getting the cheapest set meals.

It was supposed to be one meat and one vegetable dish, but in reality, there wasn't much meat in the meat dish. This was truly unbearable for Chen Yusheng. Today, she simply got a large bowl of sliced meat in hot chili oil from the premium window and ate it with Li Xingya.

Ever since she started working out with Xia, Chen Yusheng felt her ability to eat meat had also improved. In the past, she easily got full after eating a little, with an appetite similar to an ordinary girl's, but it was different now.

You can't skimp on food, or you won't have the energy to study... Your allowance is coming down soon. Give me your bank account number tomorrow, and the company will transfer the money to you.

Mhm, okay... Uh, it's from the company?

You didn't think the research group would pay your allowance, did you? Don't worry, the Big White Goose is very rich. This little bit of money is nothing to him. Chen Yusheng looked nonchalant. This wasn't her pretending to be generous with Su Bai's wealth. Qualified employees were indeed hard to find, let alone someone like Li Xingya, who had no problems with her temper, personality, or intelligence.

Furthermore, a monthly allowance of a few thousand to ten thousand yuan was truly nothing to Su Bai. This guy often had sudden whims to eat rare delicacies, and spending tens of thousands on a single meal was not unusual.

Li Xingya, however, had no concept of this. She didn't actually know how much allowance she could get. Compared to a regular graduate student, maybe one or two thousand yuan? That was pretty good. She hadn't even expected to get paid. For popular laboratories, many people would even pay out of pocket just to get in and gain some experience.

Besides, Chen Yusheng is such a great senior. Smart, and explains things so clearly, unlike some teachers who start exploiting their students before they even have things figured out themselves.
