The Maybach Meant for My Younger Brother's Mentor

Zhao Buxi, also known as Zhao Erniu, is illiterate. Two good things happened to him in the past year, and now he walks around the village with his chin held high. First: the family cow gave birth to twins. Second: his younger brother, Zhao Sheng, got into a prestigious university’s graduate program. Every day, Zhao Buxi shows people a copy of his brother’s admission letter and brags, “See? It says, ‘Welcome, brilliant student Zhao Sheng!’” The villagers point to the line he’s indicating. “That says, ‘Scan the QR code for details.’ You’re illiterate, you know.” The villagers can’t stand how he brags to everyone. “You’d think he’d gotten in himself. He can’t even read a single character.” Zhao Buxi just thinks they’re jealous, jealous that someone from the Zhao family got into graduate school. Every day, Zhao Buxi is so happy he can barely contain himself. He eats, sleeps, and looks at his brother’s admission letter, until several scandals rock academia. The biggest one is about a supervisor who privately bullied a graduate student because the student’s parents hadn’t given him a gift. Zhao Buxi feels like the sky has fallen. If you don’t give a gift, you get bullied! He can’t eat or sleep, and that very night he packs his bags and heads into the city to deliver a gift. In the city, Zhao Buxi waits by the roadside for his rideshare. A sedan pulls up in front of him, and he climbs right in. He’s just finished giving the last digits of the license plate when the rideshare driver calls. “Holy crap!!! Get out! Get out of there! That’s someone’s Maybach!!!” . Fang Peizhi is a wealthy young master from Beijing’s elite circles. Everyone assumes he’ll inherit the family business, but instead he went out and found himself a nine-to-five job as a university lecturer. People mock him for leaving the easy life behind to go looking for misery. Fang Peizhi: I’m contributing to education. What do you know? He usually hates gift-giving and sucking up, but right after he takes on a new graduate student at the start of term, someone manages to hit a nerve. And it’s Zhao Buxi, who mistook him for a rideshare driver. At first, Fang Peizhi finds fault with everything about Zhao Buxi: an uncultured, loud-mouthed country bumpkin who makes too much noise while eating. But the longer he knows him, the more he finds himself savoring the taste of him. So handsome~ So charming~ Right in his heart~ . Zhao Sheng got into a prestigious university’s graduate program. When choosing a supervisor, he fought his way into Fang Peizhi’s group. Aside from Fang Peizhi’s exceptional abilities and impressive research record, Zhao Sheng chose him because this professor wasn’t the type to suddenly start rambling in the middle of class about his child studying abroad and his own spouse… Who knew that after getting together with Zhao Sheng’s brother, the distinguished professor would become addicted to acting like his sister-in-law, ending every class with his brother as the punchline: “That’s all for today. My partner asked me out for noodles, so I’m off.” Zhao Sheng: … Didn’t you ask me too? In class, wearing a flashy pink shirt, the distinguished professor says, “Oh, my partner and I have a date today.” Zhao Sheng: Who asked you? At a gathering with the research group, the distinguished professor’s alarm goes off. “I have to head home. My partner keeps me on a short leash.” Zhao Sheng: Does my brother look like he keeps you on a leash? Late at night, Zhao Sheng stands by the window with his hands behind his back, like a mouse in cosplay. “Why did I choose to be his graduate student in the first place…?” Illiterate country boy bottom × university associate professor top Theme: Never give up on yourself
