Su Yuanyuan's Weight Loss Diary
Introduction
Su Yuanyuan is neither particularly outstanding nor particularly flawed. In other words, she is just an ordinary person. She is neither as forgetful as her eldest sister Su Zhenzhen, who is known throughout the school, nor as careless as her second sister Su Chenchen, whose every move with porcelain makes people's hearts tremble, nor as quick-witted and academically outstanding as her youngest brother Su Tiantian, who is famous throughout the school.
But Su Yuanyuan has one thing that no one else has: good luck.
Just how lucky can a person be? Just look at Su Yuanyuan's upbringing to find out.
Su Yuanyuan, true to her name, was plump and round, the kind of person you couldn't feel for bones in, as her grandmother would say. In kindergarten, because she was so cute and lovable, and her adorable dimples and smile would earn her an extra half-bowl of meat from the teachers distributing lunch.
When she started elementary school, she never did her homework and no one scolded her because her overly progressive father told her, "Yuanyuan, do your homework or not, it's up to you." Eventually, no teacher wanted to take her in, so she went to study in her mother's class. Her father, Su Laosi, even proudly said, "I was like that when I was little. No teacher wanted me, so I stayed in my mom's class! My mom couldn't bear to hit me!"
Yuanyuan's mother could only look up at the sky and sigh, "Luckily, your grandma and I are both teachers, otherwise there would be two more illiterate people out of school in this world!"
Yuanyuan unsurprisingly failed her entrance exam for junior high school. Su Zhenzhen once said that if people who don't do their homework or review their lessons can get into the top key school like her, then there is no fairness in this world.
The world is fair. Su Yuanyuan's grades weren't good enough for even a top-tier high school, let alone a second or third-tier one. She didn't care, thinking it didn't matter which middle school she attended, and couldn't understand why her older sisters were so determined to get into a top-tier school. Her family didn't think the same way. Her grandparents were extremely anxious, and Su Lao Si, usually so domineering, had lost his temper and started making calls everywhere, pulling strings to get his daughter into a top-tier school.
Fortunately, the Su family had a decent network in the education sector. Two weeks before the start of the semester, the top key high school opened a sports specialty class. Su Yuanyuan, who had never touched a basketball before, managed to get into the school as a basketball specialty student, turning a new page in her life.
Although she managed to get into a top-tier school, Yuanyuan's mother was even more worried. The school was full of talented students, and there were many outstanding individuals. How could her slow-witted daughter grow up in such a competitive environment? However, Su Yuanyuan seemed to have suddenly become enlightened overnight. After entering junior high school, she consciously and proactively studied hard, did her homework and reviewed her lessons, and knew what she should do.
Her family all thought Yuanyuan had become sensible and perceptive, but there was another reason. Su Yuanyuan wanted to leave the sports-specialized class and transfer to a regular class. The people in the sports class were too strong in sports, and Su Yuanyuan ranked last in every sport. This situation of being at the bottom made even the indifferent Su Yuanyuan feel that her self-esteem was hurt and she was very discouraged.
After a year of hard work, Su Yuanyuan ranked in the top eighty of her grade in the final exams of the second semester of junior high. This was a very good result, and Su Zhenzhen and Su Chenchen were both very surprised when they found out. As experienced students, they knew that it was not easy to get into the top one hundred of a key high school, so it seemed that Yuanyuan had indeed put in a lot of effort.
After achieving good grades, good luck struck again. Qu Zhuguang, the homeroom teacher of Class A, tripped and fell flat on her back in the hallway. She fell hard, clutching a stack of homework, and lay on the concrete floor for a long time, unable to get up. It was dusk; the students had long since left school, and the school building was quiet and deserted. Su Yuanyuan, always a procrastinator, was on duty. After finishing her cleaning, all the other students on duty had run off, but she, unhurriedly, packed her things and strolled out of the classroom with her backpack. Suddenly, she saw someone lying on the hallway like a turtle on its back. Going closer, she exclaimed, "Oh! Isn't that Ms. Qu from Class A!"
It is said that Qu Zhuguang's fall was extremely severe. If Su Yuanyuan hadn't found her and called an ambulance in time, she might have become paralyzed at the young age of twenty-three.
The first thing Qu Zhuguang did after being discharged from the hospital was to go to the Academic Affairs Office to transfer Su Yuanyuan from the sports class to the A class she taught.
In the years that followed, Su Yuanyuan, with her incredible good luck, always managed to get things done smoothly, despite her own scatterbrained nature. She went through high school and university without any major setbacks, unlike what her family had initially imagined.
The most important thing after graduating from university is finding a job. Su Yuanyuan's major is design theory, a somewhat abstract subject, unlike interior design and architectural design, which are highly specialized. Design theory, frankly, is mostly about talking; you can't really do much practical work. Her family is worried again. They've finally managed to graduate from university; they can't let her be unemployed right after graduation!
So Su Yuanyuan was lucky. The third son of the Su family was the vice dean of C College, the third-highest-ranking official after the party secretary and the dean. That year, C College expanded, adding several departments, one of which was the design department. With the expansion, recruitment was needed, and besides the legitimate recruitment of talent, some people with connections could take advantage of the situation.
The college leaders are very pragmatic; there's no need for pretense. They sit down for a meeting with everyone at the table. The dean mentioned his nephew graduating from a sports university this year and could teach physical education. The party secretary said his wife's niece's son also graduated from a sports university and could teach physical education as well. Vice Dean Su said his own niece was graduating this year with a design degree, unlike sports, a seemingly unimportant subject, which the school desperately needs to recruit for. Vice Dean Li said… In short, every cadre in the college has relatives who want to get in through connections.
There were far more monks than porridge; only a few bowls of porridge were available, but the line of monks stretched all the way to the corner outside the academy gate. What to do? This was yet another struggle of power and influence. Su Yuanyuan had no idea how much effort her third uncle had put in and how many benefits he had sacrificed for her. Anyway, she managed to get one bowl of porridge out of the limited supply.
Much later, after Su Yuanyuan had officially taken up her post as a teacher, she learned that due to this job assignment, the power holders at College C were engaged in fierce infighting, resulting in a major shift in the power structure. The dean was forced to transfer due to the exclusion of the secretary and other powerful figures, and the Education Bureau promoted the head of the mathematics department at S University to the position of dean at College C.
It was both calculated and unexpected. This outcome took many leaders of College C by surprise.
The newly appointed dean of College C is surnamed Qu, with the single character Ling.
Su Yuanyuan stared blankly at the photos of the school leaders posted on the school bulletin board. Qu Ling? That name seemed to have a vague recollection of her!
Su Yuanyuan takes up her post
There are all sorts of people in this world. Some are exceptionally clever, some are exceptionally wise, some are exceptionally witty, and some are exceptionally prone to losing things. Of course, there are also exceptionally lucky people. For example, me; according to my grandmother, I'm the luckiest fat person she's ever seen.
How infuriating! Grandma actually called me fat! I'm just a little thick-waisted, a little round-faced, and a little chubby-armed... If this were the Tang Dynasty, my weight might not even be considered a problem! Anyway, let's not dwell on this depressing thing. Let's think about what to eat for breakfast! That's more interesting.
The day before I started work, my third uncle specially called me to his house for a talk. Now that he's my boss, I no longer dare to cling to him like I used to. My third uncle was also very serious, and with a dark face, he talked to me about the three main rules and eight tasks. He went on and on, but all he really wanted to do was work diligently, keep a low profile, and not let the other teachers at the school know that I'm his niece.
Seeing me bowing my head to receive a scolding, that brat Su Tiantian actually hid behind the door, holding a bowl of braised pork with chestnuts to tempt me! Resisting the drool practically dripping from my mouth, I thought bitterly, "After Uncle San leaves, I'll see how I deal with him! I'll sit on him and cripple him!"
I didn't get to eat the braised pork with chestnuts, and I didn't get to press Su Tiantian either. Before my third uncle could finish his scolding, my third aunt dragged
