058 Han Yixuan’s Unexpected Gain
At two in the afternoon, Sun Ruimin walked into a small classroom and began her career planning lecture—with an indescribable sense of shame in her heart.
This lecture was really too amateurish. She hadn’t submitted any application to the school, nor had she even mentioned it to her colleagues in the student union. Moreover, university student career planning was an elective course that started in the sophomore year. Forcing it upon the freshmen was really a bit unreasonable. But there was no other way. Giving this lecture was much better than having her go on stage to talk about some bullshit like ‘a senior sister’s views on love.’
Sun Ruimin still remembered everything about being drunk, and that was the most embarrassing part. She hadn’t completely blacked out while drunk, just lost the rational yardstick to evaluate the consequences of her actions. So when she woke up, recalling those things was just a capital E for Embarrassing.
Walking up to the podium and clearing her throat, Sun Ruimin began to speak, “We need to plan in advance for everything we do. Going over what we are about to accomplish in our minds first is the greatest advantage humans have over other species. For example, in ancient times, before our ancestors made fire by drilling wood, they first foresaw this result, prepared dry firewood, and prepared all the necessary things. Only then would they succeed and use the advantage of fire to its fullest. It’s the same in modern society. We need to plan in advance…”
It wasn’t too difficult for Sun Ruimin to talk about these things. After overcoming that emotional obstacle, she spoke very fluently. After all, the content she was talking about was in the University Student Career Planning textbook she had gotten her hands on just two days ago.
“…All of you present here are the fresh blood of our school’s student union, and you are very precious. The student union values you very much, and you also need to value yourselves. To value, you must first analyze your own psychology, think clearly about your needs, and then make a good career plan. That is to say, you should start thinking now about how your time working in the student union will help you in your future career when you enter society…”
Sun Ruimin spoke eloquently on the podium.
Because what she was talking about was mainly inspirational, she hadn’t prepared many lines for herself. She finished in less than twenty minutes, and then it was the Q&A session.
The new freshmen were obviously a little shy, and only a few raised their hands to ask questions. After using some generic phrases to solve these few problems, no one else raised their hands.
So Sun Ruimin announced, “That’s all for today’s impromptu class. Everyone should go back and think carefully about what you want to do in the future. That’s all for today. You can be dismissed.”
With that, Sun Ruimin stepped down from the podium and saw her cousin running towards her.
She had already noticed Sun Xingsi during the lecture, sitting in a corner in the back row, so she wasn’t surprised at this moment.
Sun Ruimin asked with a smile, “Did you skip class?”
But Sun Xingsi laughed at her. “Sis, did you forget? Today is Sunday. Besides someone like you who’s doing a double major, who would have class on a Sunday?”
Sun Ruimin patted his head in response.
Sun Xingsi said again, “By the way, sis, you don’t know. After you went back yesterday, Wang Heng and the others and I…”
“Don’t mention that guy to me!” Sun Ruimin’s face turned cold, and she interrupted him.
Sun Xingsi scratched the back of his head. “Oh, oh, okay, I won’t, I won’t!”
“Okay, let’s go.” With that, Sun Ruimin walked out of the classroom, and Sun Xingsi hurried to follow behind.
However, neither of them noticed that a girl was standing in front of the podium, her eyes fixed on their backs.
It was Han Yixuan.
Just now, she had heard a certain name and was sure she hadn’t misheard. Could it be a coincidence of having the same name? Or was it a bigger, more meaningful coincidence?
The surrounding students were dispersing one after another. Han Yixuan suddenly stopped a sophomore senior sister, first apologized for bothering her, and asked politely, “The one who just left with Senior Sister Sun, is that her brother?”
“He’s her cousin, I think. Anyway, he’s not from our school. Sun Ruimin’s brother is at the University of Electronic Science and Technology. He probably came to find her for something today…”
Han Yixuan: “Oh, I see. Thank you, senior sister.”
“Hey, don’t tell me you’ve taken a liking to her brother?”
Han Yixuan smiled slightly, her face full of innocence. “Hehe, how could that be? I was just asking casually.”
**
Unlike other finance students, Sun Ruimin had a required class today, and it was a required law class. Because she had also signed up for the school’s Bachelor of Laws program, if she could graduate successfully, she would get a minor degree in law.
And this course was in the morning, which was why she had to postpone the lecture she said she would give last night to the afternoon. Because of this, the freshmen had complained about her quite a bit.
What she talked about was just generalities, and she had said in the group that she was ‘imparting life experience’ and so on. Wasn’t that just bait-and-switch? And she had disturbed everyone at two in the morning, and then changed her mind the next morning. The complaints were almost overflowing.
So, when she saw this junior sister who claimed to have come to express her gratitude, Sun Ruimin was quite surprised.
She sized up this pure and beautiful junior sister and asked, “What’s your name?”
The junior sister smiled gracefully and politely. “Hello, senior sister. My name is Han Yixuan.”
Sun Ruimin: “Oh, you just said in a private message that you wanted to thank me… Why?”
Han Yixuan said with apparent sincerity, “Because the career planning you talked about was very meaningful and enlightening to me. Before you talked about those things, I really hadn’t considered much. My roommate was the one who dragged me to the student union interview. I hadn’t really thought about what I would do after joining, or what I would do after graduation… It’s ridiculous, isn’t it? I’ve been listening to my teachers and parents since I was a child, and I really haven’t thought much for myself.”
Sun Ruimin shook her head. “It’s not just you. I was the same when I was a freshman. Don’t laugh, but I dated a scumbag, was disgusted by him, and then suddenly decided to work hard.”
Han Yixuan: “Hasn’t senior sister thought about dating again?”
Sun Ruimin gave a self-deprecating smile. “I have, of course I have. I was just thinking about dating a couple of days ago, but… tsk, in short, it’s still not suitable for me, boys and all that.”
Han Yixuan asked thoughtfully, “Senior sister is so beautiful. How could you not be suitable for dating?”
“Yeah, some boys are just ridiculous. I don’t know how their brains work.”
Sun Ruimin didn’t think too much about it, not considering the possibility that this pure junior sister was probing her, and just casually complained. She didn’t notice that Han Yixuan’s gaze had become deeper, as if she had thought of many, many things…
