Currying favor and loving vanity are definitely derogatory terms, no doubt.

Xu Siyi has never hidden her ambition, or rather, her desires.
Back when Boss Jiang was still a poor, pitiful student, penniless and destitute, even Li Shuru was reluctant to let him treat and returned the money. At that time, it was Xu Siyi who was the first among everyone to notice Jiang Chen's "potential" and changed her attitude towards him.
Of course.
One could say she actually did it to fool Li Shuru out of those few thousand yuan, but it's undeniable that when Jiang Chen was still famously mocked as a boot-licker, she offered him a friendly smile.

But for Jiang Chen at that time, this girl made him feel a precious kind of politeness and respect.
Does it really matter if it was genuine or not?
"Embarrassing, can you be more embarrassed than I was."
