Dashing Student-Chapter 508 - , Chen Nan was Killed by Flattery

Before Chen Nan had a chance to respond, suddenly, the dormitory manager ran over, panting, "What are you all doing here? Stop it, all of you!"

But upon seeing the people Zhao Shun brought, the manager hesitated as well, having heard of Zhao Shun’s family background.

He, a mere manager, truly couldn’t afford to offend them!

Just as the tension was about to snap, a steady and powerful voice came from behind the crowd: "What’s going on here?"

Everyone instinctively turned to look and saw an elderly man dressed in a crisp Zhongshan suit, walking steadily toward them.

His steps were unhurried, his posture erect, and his gaze profound like the twinkling cold stars in the night sky, radiating an extraordinary and transcendent aura.

This was none other than Professor Su Hong from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Provincial Medical University, a towering figure in the realm of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Chen Nan had not met Su Hong before and was unaware of his identity.

However, the other people around were all familiar with Su Hong’s great reputation.

Seeing Su Hong appear in the men’s dormitory building, everyone was utterly astonished, their faces filled with disbelief.

They could never have imagined that this professor, usually so esteemed and held in high regard, would appear here at this time.

Su Hong walked inside at a measured pace, quickly scanning the room, taking in the tense atmosphere and everyone’s expressions, then frowned deeply, his tone full of displeasure: "Fighting and brawling in school, what kind of behavior is this?"

Upon seeing Su Hong, a flicker of fear that was hard to catch passed over Zhao Shun’s previously arrogant face. But he quickly forced himself to remain composed, trying to maintain his own momentum, and said, "Professor Su, this is a personal grudge between him and me. It’s better if you don’t get involved."

Su Hong snorted coldly, with a flash of cold light in his eyes that shot towards Zhao Shun like a sharp blade: "In this school, there’s no such thing as personal grudges, only school rules and discipline."

Having said that, he turned his gaze toward Chen Nan, his eyes immediately softened with a touch of appreciation and expectation: "Chen Nan, you are a new student this year, right? I’ve read your profile, excellent results, a truly promising talent."

Hearing this, a surge of respect welled up in Chen Nan’s heart, and he quickly paid a respectful salute to Su Hong, saying earnestly, "I’ll strive not to let down your expectations, Professor Su!"

Seeing this, Zhao Shun immediately became anxious inside.

He hadn’t expected Chen Nan to have any connection with Su Hong.

His heart was unwilling, and he wanted to say something to turn the situation around.

But Su Hong didn’t give him the chance, his face darkened, and he commanded coldly, "Get out, now, immediately, at once!" These words hit Zhao Shun’s heart like a heavy hammer.

Zhao Shun, gritting his teeth, with a venomous gleam in his eye, gave Chen Nan a fierce stare and spat out bitterly, "You’re ruthless, we’ll see about this!" With that, he left with the young men, tails between their legs.

In fact, had it been any other professor, Zhao Shun might not have been so intimidated and might have even continued the confrontation.

But the person before him was Su Hong, a highly respected and eminent figure within the Traditional Chinese Medicine community in the provincial city.

Not to mention him, even his father would have to be utterly respectful and wouldn’t dare show any defiance in front of Su Hong.

After all, Su Hong’s profound knowledge in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine and his extensive connections were beyond imagination, making him a sought-after guest among many wealthy magnates and social elites.

He could even sit on an equal footing with provincial and ministerial-level officials, possessing an influence that should not be underestimated.

Truly, to offend him could lead to unimaginable consequences!

After Zhao Shun left, the frostiness on Su Hong’s face instantly faded away, and he turned to look at Lin Shiyun with a friendly smile, saying gently, "Little girl, you go back first, I want to chat a few words with Chen Nan."

"Alright, Professor Su!" Lin Shiyun responded respectfully, then turned her gaze towards Chen Nan, showing a sweet smile on her face as if to convey encouragement and reassurance, then left Chen Nan’s dormitory.

Now there were only Chen Nan and Su Hong left in the dormitory.

Su Hong squinted his eyes slightly, smiling at Chen Nan, and asked, "Are you wondering why I’ve shown up here?"

"Cough cough!" Chen Nan cleared his throat and revealed a bashful smile, modestly saying, "Although my high school exam scores were passable at best, they wouldn’t warrant a special dorm visit from you!"

"I think there must be some other reasons!"

Su Hong smacked his lips slightly, couldn’t help but sigh, "Scoring sixth in the province and you call it ’passable at best.’"

"Young man, you really are as modest as she described!"

At these words, Chen Nan’s face was full of doubt, and his eyes twinkled with curiosity as he couldn’t help but ask, "Who is this ’she’ you’re referring to?"

The corners of Su Hong’s mouth curled up slightly, showing a meaningful smile, as he slowly explained, "Naturally, it’s the director of Jizhou Prison, Yang Ruoshui."

Chen Nan realized then; being from the provincial capital, Yang Ruoshui knew Su Hong, so it was reasonable for her to ask him to look after him.

"I have a very good personal relationship with her. She specifically called me before, telling me that you applied for the Traditional Chinese Medicine department at our school, even asking me to specially..."

Su Hong paused mid-sentence, his expression slightly complex, with the corners of his mouth twitching severely, revealing a hint of a bitter smile.

"Frankly, at first, I thought she wanted me to look after your academic work."

"After all, I’ve been teaching in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department for many years and have accumulated some connections and resources."

"It wouldn’t be difficult for me to ask around for some conveniences for you, to help you take some shortcuts on your learning journey, to obtain some valuable academic resources," Su Hong shook his head slightly, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness.

"But you’d never guess what she actually said."

A curious sparkle flashed in Su Hong’s eyes as he looked at Chen Nan with interest, teasingly holding back before finally continuing, "She actually urged me to learn from you!"

Pfft!

Chen Nan almost spit out a mouthful of blood in shock and quickly said, "Professor Su, don’t listen to Sister Yang, she’s overpraising and killing me with flattery."

"In reality, I have no achievement in medical skills; I’m just a freshman!"

"If my medical skill was truly above yours, how could I possibly come to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department to further my studies?"

He had already decided that the next time he saw Yang Ruoshui, he would definitely give her a good smack on the bottom, as his purpose at Provincial Medical University was to study.

But there she goes, raising me on a pedestal – how could anyone endure that?

Su Hong shook his head, unconvinced: "From what I know about Miss Yang, she wouldn’t extol someone for no reason; you must have real ability."

"So, if you have any issues in the future, just call me directly, and I will try my best to provide some convenience for you."

Hearing this, Chen Nan felt elated and quickly said, "Professor Su, your junior indeed has a favor to ask."

"What is it?"
