Shi Nuan blinked, opened her mouth, and said, "Second Uncle, you tell me!"
"Give me a ride to work!" Song Yansheng said, "Both the TK Group and the Shi Family are downtown, so it’s on the way. Moreover, TK is further east, so it won’t take much time. Nuannuan giving me a lift shouldn’t be difficult, right!"
It’s a bit unbelievable that Song Yansheng is actually asking her to give him a ride to work. What a joke!
But if she refuses, Song Yansheng will naturally reject her request to drive herself to the company!
Pursing her lips, Shi Nuan said, "...Okay!"
Song Yansheng smiled broadly, looking very pleased. He lifted the red wine beside him, raised his eyebrows at Shi Nuan, "In that case, I’ll be counting on Nuannuan from now on!"
"..." Shi Nuan gritted her teeth but finally raised her glass and clinked it with Song Yansheng’s!
After dinner, Song Yansheng needed to return to the company, and Shi Nuan had to go back to school.
In the afternoon, He Meisui had her thesis defense. Her defense was in the morning, and their entire dorm went to cheer for her.
Of course, she also had to cheer on her roommates properly.
He Meisui’s usual academic performance was excellent, so passing this thesis defense was absolutely not a problem.
But Shi Nuan could tell that after her defense in the morning, He Meisui felt some pressure.
After the defense, Shi Nuan, Ou Xiaoning, and Lv Nan Nan went back to the dorm together, but He Meisui went straight to the library, saying she wanted to use this time to reinforce her thesis.
Ou Xiaoning said, "It’s no surprise, Nuannuan, your thesis defense in the morning was really outstanding. Compared to you, the two who went before you were just trash. Actually, I’m more worried about the students who presented after you. If they’re good, it’s fine. But if they’re bad, those who originally had a chance to pass will probably have to redo it!"
And the truth is, Shi Nuan truly ended up dragging people down. From eight to eleven forty in the morning, among the twelve students who participated in the thesis defense, three didn’t pass after Shi Nuan.
One girl cried in the dorm for the entire afternoon after being blocked!
Ou Xiaoning also said, "People from their dorm even came to our dorm looking for you because of this, but Meisui sent them packing!"
Shi Nuan lowered her eyebrows, not knowing what to say.
The morning thesis defense was her way of showing off to Father. Father didn’t value daughters, and with Shi Jiaojiao not making any accomplishments in the company, he didn’t care at all.
But Shi Jiaojiao herself didn’t have much ability, and Shi Tianchao is still young now. It would take at least another ten years for him to grow up.
Though Shi Yuanbo handed over the company’s major power to Yu Dou, seemingly trusting him, Yu Dou still has no familial ties with him.
If the daughter demonstrates capability, Shi Yuanbo would likely consider using her more. After all, compared to an outsider, his own daughter is more trustworthy.
And even if his daughter becomes more powerful in the future, she’s still his daughter. It would be easier for him to reclaim authority. Shi Yuanbo’s business talent is average, but he can at least do basic calculations!
Shi Nuan didn’t say much, she simply said, "I just performed above average a bit. After all, the foundation of my thesis is solid. Outstanding papers won’t be mine in the future, and they probably don’t have much to do with me either..."
Ou Xiaoning blinked, feeling it made sense. Shi Nuan’s usual academic performance is just slightly above average. Ou Xiaoning had also seen her thesis; it was quite good, but not stunningly exceptional.
She also read He Meisui’s thesis and thought it was particularly well-written. As long as the defense goes well, an excellent paper is certain.
Maybe Shi Nuan really did have an extraordinary performance, she thought.
