Chapter 383: Chapter 178: I Have Nothing But Respect for Him!

The atmosphere around the dinner table could be described with an idiom—harmony and joy.

Everyone was merry; a certain someone was melting.

At the not-so-large round table, with Cheng LiHua at the center, to her right sat Su Huai, Gu Jiuyue, Gu Tongshu, Zhang Yaowen, Wang Yuqing in that order.

To keep Su Huai and the good son-in-law apart, the old lady had indeed gone to great lengths.

But while Su Huai was comfortable, Gu Tongshu felt his scalp tingle—shown up by his own daughter.

"Su, try this!"

"Su, is the rice good today?"

"Su, here, let me peel a shrimp for you."

Witnessing his daughter doting on Puppy throughout the meal, and only getting a "Dad, help yourself" when it was his turn, Gu Tongshu’s internal fire grew stronger.

Not only that, Zhang Yaowen kept sticking to Gu Tongshu, ceaselessly shmoozing in an ingratiating way, and being annoyingly talkative.

How sly is Zhang Yaowen?

He had realized Gu Tongshu "didn’t really like Su Huai," so all his words were in praise of Su Huai, deliberately flattering things the old lady and the young princess liked to hear.

"Su Huai sure gave me a shock at first!"

Zhang Yaowen narrated like storytelling, vividly describing how he met Su Huai.

"I don’t know how he found my office, but on the first day of reporting, like a stunned youngster, he just came knocking on my door. My first thought was: This kid is pretty bold, just a bit scatter-brained..."

"Hahaha!"

Cheng LiHua laughed heartily, showing unabashed favoritism as she rooted for Su Huai: "Being a bit clueless is good, just like a newborn calf isn’t afraid of tigers!"

Gu Jiuyue, learning about this for the first time, was extremely curious and eagerly asked, "What happened next?"

"And then, as we talked, he simply floored me!"

Zhang Yaowen’s story was quite exaggerated; those in the know got it, but it was indeed interesting to listen to.

"Su wasn’t the clueless newbie I thought he was. Before coming, he’d already thoroughly understood the school’s policy on changing majors, knew the difficulties, the process, the specifics of implementation, and whom to approach, how to start talking..."

Wang Yuqing grew curious, munching on peanuts and interjecting, "Cheng, if I remember correctly, your school requires one to finish the first year before changing majors, right? How could Su dare to approach Yaowen before even starting school?"

Professor Cheng shook his head: "I’m just a teacher; I really don’t know. Anyway, the years I taught freshmen, it wasn’t easy to change majors. Could it be Yaowen cherishing talent?"

"Cherishing talent is indeed a factor, but he had to be talented to begin with!"

Zhang Yaowen wasn’t just offering empty praise; he brought out data: "I’ve been the associate dean for 8 years. I’ve dealt with hundreds of applications, and Su was the only one to switch majors directly without an exam!"

"Wow..."

Gu Jiuyue’s eyes widened, and looking sideways at Su Huai, she let out a sigh of admiration.

"So the opportunity to be classmates was something you fought for yourself... You’re amazing!"

She knew Su Huai had transferred, but hadn’t realized it was "not so easy," and a strange sweetness blossomed in her heart.

Su Huai felt extremely sheepish being praised like that.

In fact, Zhang Yaowen’s flattery was a typical comparison switch. Others’ applications were from Information to Public Administration, ordinary majors to aces. How could the difficulty be the same?

Whoever wanted to go from Public Administration to E-Commerce wouldn’t need to take an exam at all.

However, the people at the table were not involved in specific school affairs; professional work was as distant as mountains, so it all sounded quite shocking.

Having laid the groundwork, Zhang Yaowen turned to Su Huai with a big smile and asked, "Su, tell me honestly today, who did you inquire all that information from?"

At the key question, everyone was curious, even Gu Tongshu pricked up his ears.

Su Huai smiled shyly, appearing reserved, bashful, and innocent... yet he replied confidently, articulately, and logically.

What was this?

This was acting with a smooth and natural flow, just the right touch.

The voice of Actor Huai resonated like chime stones.

"I found the documents on the official website, confirming the process of changing majors. There are indeed explicit restrictions in the seven regulations, but upon careful study, you realize those seemingly strict limits are primarily for management and balance. The core principle is fairness—

What chaos would ensue if a student who scored 580 points could attend a top major requiring 620 points through back-door arrangements, taking opportunities from top students?

Therefore, a normal major change requires an exam for eligibility, also ensuring acceptance by both old and new classmates.

However, the school doesn’t oppose students choosing a major that better fits their personal traits and talent within similar disciplines. That’s why there’s the fourth regulation, essentially seeking to maximize student talents and learning motivation while maintaining fairness.

Switching from E-Commerce to Big Data was simply a freewill choice within the same band of majors, which doesn’t involve issues of fairness.

So, I figured it wasn’t as hard as it seemed, but it also wasn’t something a student counselor could handle, so I took a chance and went to Director Zhang with a drafted speech."

Before going, I wrote a draft.

Afterwards, I discovered that the esteemed director was not only patient but kind, so I simply let loose, and maybe it was that very boldness that touched the teacher?

Actually, even now, it all feels like a dream...

He knew when to perform and when to be humble—Gou Huai was all too aware of how to craft an image.

Zhang Yaowen, delighted by the adroit flattery, laughed heartily and sent several smug glances at Gu Tongshu.

Gu Tongshu didn’t respond to Zhang, his expression somewhat amazed.

He had seen many details about Su Huai on paper, but what’s on paper certainly differs from actual interaction. The emotional intelligence and logic Su Huai displayed in that last speech were truly impressive.
