Chapter 165 Isn’t this a coincidence?
Boys also compare themselves with each other. But the point of their comparison is sometimes strange.
For example, when we take a group photo of the whole class, the boys standing in the last row are all standing on tiptoes.
Even the hunched back and stretched neck caused by studying at the desk for a long time were all straightened out at this moment.
It is more effective than any traction treatment or back massage.
It happened that there was something wrong with the photographer's SLR, and it kept going "eggplant" for a long time.
So under the upright upper bodies of the boys in the last row were trembling calves.
After the graduation photos are taken, you can actually collect your bags and go home.
Of course, due to the lively “admissions road show” in the large lecture hall, many students are still prepared to go for consultation.
Tiancheng No. 1 Middle School is also a pretty good high school in the province, and many well-known universities across the country are here today.
Chen Dahai arranged for the brothers to have dinner together at noon, and Xu Chen was naturally invited. Even because of his dark horse performance of "top of the class", he had to pay for the treat.
Xu Chen was very happy with this. Indeed, after graduation and separation, these high school friends who crowded in the back row of the classroom and laughed every day rarely got together.
……
Xu Chen followed the large group and went back to the classroom to get his bag.
As soon as they sat down, they realized that they couldn't leave for the time being. A bunch of girls took out their "classmate books" and started looking for their classmates' signatures and messages.
It seems that boys generally don't prepare for classmate registration, probably because they think it's pretentious.
But it didn't stop them from scribbling on a bunch of girls' notebooks.
I don't know why, but there are particularly many girls who come to Xu Chen to sign up as classmates.
There were even some girls from other classes whom I didn't know at all who came to Xu Chen to sign.
It also made Xu Chen feel baffled and a little confused...
Chen Dahai, who was sitting aside, was spinning a pen in his hand and noticed that many girls came to Xu Chen to sign, then turned around and left, as if he didn't exist at all.
Chen Dahai was very depressed:
"Am I too popular, or are you too popular?!"
Xu Chen smiled helplessly:
"You are popular among boys, and you don't usually interact with girls."
Chen Dahai was obviously unconvinced:
"You don't deal with girls either!"
……
A thin boy from the same class came over and stood in front of Xu Chen. He obviously had something to say, but he looked a little reserved and shy.
Chen Dahai was stunned for a moment, but then his expression became a little exciting, and he listened with his ears.
Xu Chen remembered that this boy was named Nie Sensen. He was a very introverted boy with a very low sense of presence in the class.
Nie Sensen looked at Xu Chen and said:
"Xu Chen, I heard that your father's company acquired Guangming Factory..."
Xu Chen was stunned and said:
"How do you know this?"
Nie Sensen: "My dad is a veteran employee of Guangming Factory, and he was originally planning to be laid off to find a way out.
Now I heard that your father’s company will take over, and I also heard that there are no plans to lay off old employees, so I am still very grateful...
I have no other intention, I just came here to say thank you to you and your dad’s company..."
After saying that, the reserved boy even bowed to Xu Chen before turning and leaving.
Xu Chen frowned, but still felt a little emotional.
It seems that after he was reborn, he asked his father to buy Guangming Factory, which was a good deed.
In the memory of the previous life, Guangming Factory was sold to a real estate company, and hundreds of old employees were laid off and unemployed.
Hundreds of employees mean hundreds of families, and many families also have half-grown children like Nie Sensen.
Many employees have no other abilities except factory work, and there are no other suitable companies in Tiancheng that can take over...
After being laid off, I can only work as a small businessman and hawker, and making a living is not easy.
Among them, there are even some college students like Director Yang who were born in 1980s or 1990s...
Chen Dahai and several other boys stared at Xu Chen with surprised expressions.
"What's wrong?" Xu Chen said.
"Your dad... bought Guangming Factory?!"
"Master Xu, Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu..."
"That has been a big factory in Tiancheng for decades. Is it really taken over by your family?"
"It seems that they still underestimated the strength of Master Xu's family!"
"Damn, isn't your dad the richest man in Tiancheng?!"
Xu Chen laughed:
"Let's go, whatever you want to eat, I'll treat you to this young master!"
“Then you have to eat stir-fried vegetables, and you can’t order even a single vegetarian dish!”
……
In the back streets, Liu rice is fragrant and stir-fried.
Chen Dahai took out a pack of cigarettes and started to spread cigarettes for everyone.
Someone teased:
"Chen Dahai, you are a sports student and you are about to go to the Provincial Sports University. Why do you keep smoking?"
Chen Dahai: "I don't need to compete like Brother Bing. Besides, I went to the Sports University to study physical education, so no one cares about me!"
In Xu Chen's memory of his previous life, after graduating from the Provincial Sports University, Chen Dahai became a physical education teacher in a primary school in the provincial capital. He was comfortable and comfortable.
It seems that he is still following the path of his destiny.
In his previous life, when Xu Chen was struggling in a big city and struggling to get mortgage and car loans, he once seriously envied Chen Dahai, who stayed in his hometown in the provincial capital.
Thinking about it now, it makes people feel emotional.
……
A few people were laughing and chatting, and a girl at the next table looked over here from time to time.
After a while, a girl got up and walked over.
"Xu Chen..." Xu Chen looked up and saw that it was Zhao Linlin, an unconventional girl.
"Long time no see." Xu Chen smiled, acting polite and distant.
Zhao Linlin still wore her non-mainstream look, with a bunch of sparkling rhinestones on her jeans.
"I heard that you did very well in the exam, congratulations!" Zhao Linlin said softly.
"Thank you!" Xu Chen smiled officially, without any enthusiasm but not coldly either.
Zhao Linlin pursed her lips, as if she still had something to say, but in the end she didn't say anything, lowered her head and turned back.
Chen Dahai on the side made a few teasing remarks. Xu Chen said nothing and smiled casually.
After rebirth, Xu Chen increasingly felt that people's nature is difficult to change, and they will eventually step onto the river they should have entered.
The head teachers Zhang Liqun, Huang Furen, Sanshu... and of course Zhao Linlin.
Those that cannot be avoided, when they cause intrusion into one's life, one can only take action to clean them up.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
If you can avoid it, you should try your best not to mess with it and cause less trouble to yourself.
……
……
After lunch, Xu Chen, Chen Dahai and others wandered back to school.
A few people smoked for a while by the flower bed at the school gate, and then walked towards the lecture theater together.
Today’s “Admissions Roadshow” is still going to be a go-to.
As a sports student, Chen Dahai had actually been admitted to the Provincial Sports University for a long time, but he also followed to join in the fun.
He put his arm around Xu Chen's shoulders and asked curiously:
"Master Xu, have you chosen a university? Which famous school are you planning to attend?"
In fact, Xu Chen already had a rough idea of which university to attend.
After considering various factors, what can actually be jumped out is the "standard answer".
Based on the agreement with Xie Bingran and considering the future business of the family, he will definitely go to Shanghai to study.
The three best universities in Shanghai are Fudan University, Tonghai University and Jiaotong University.
After that, there are Huahai Normal University, Hucheng Finance and Economics, Hucheng Foreign Languages, Huahai Politics and Law, etc.
Judging from Xu Chen's current results, he would definitely be in the top three, but Fudan could only choose an unpopular major and gave up first.
After considering various situations, Xu Chen only had the most suitable combination of options.
Tonghai University, majoring in advertising.
Double first-class 985, a century-old famous school, first established by the Germans, ranked first in the country in many subjects...
The Advertising Department of Tonghai University has become the third-ranked discipline in the country after introducing several professors who studied in Germany in recent years.
With Xu Chen's score, there was no pressure to apply for the Advertising Department of Tonghai University, and there was almost no risk of being transferred to another major.
Xu Chen chose to major in advertising first and foremost because of family business considerations.
I worked as an advertiser for several years in my previous life. The advantage of being in this industry is that I have a natural connection with business and the market.
More importantly, advertising itself allows you to gain horizontal exposure to different industries, which means you can accumulate cross-industry contacts and resources.
This is still very important for the future development of the Xu family's business.
Of course, another reason is that because I already have some work experience in my previous life, my studies are much easier.
The college entrance examination is an unavoidable pressure, but Xu Chen still hopes to be as relaxed as possible while studying in college.
As a former advertiser, studying in an advertising department is basically a dimensionality reduction exercise, and the coursework does not need to be too strenuous.
This saves a lot of time and energy. In addition to supporting his father Xu Zhiquan's business, he can also do something he likes.
……
……
Shaw Building, large lecture hall.
Before I even entered, there was a crowd of people and a hustle and bustle.
Xu Chen, Chen Dahai and others struggled to squeeze in.
Only then did I discover that in addition to senior high school students, there were also many parents of students.
Several classmates around him all had clear targets for consultation, so they dispersed first.
Chen Dahai just came here to join in the fun, so he followed Xu Chen all the way.
Xu Chen actually just came here for a stroll, so he looked around with a relaxed expression.
The two of them had only walked a few meters when a pile of leaflets and information were stuffed into their hands.
Xu Chen flipped through the pages and took a look. They were all not very good schools, and even some pheasant colleges that he had never heard of.
After looking around again, I discovered an interesting phenomenon.
The people who gathered there were actually very ordinary universities, many of which were second-tier colleges or even junior colleges in the province.
However, few people consult the good 985 schools.
For example, at the booths of several good schools such as National People's Congress, Xiamen University, and Sun Yat-sen University, the admissions teachers began to take a nap there.
Xu Chen thought about it and it was not surprising. There may not be many students who can apply for these 985 good schools, so there are only a few people who go to consult.
……
Xu Chen and Chen Dahai were wandering around when a voice suddenly came from behind them:
"Teacher Xiao Xu?"
Xu Chen turned around and took a look and found that he was a very familiar middle-aged uncle.
Wearing rimless glasses, wearing a white shirt, with a bushy back and oily head...
Xu Chen frowned and thought for a while, then remembered that this was one of several judges who participated in Fu Yanjie's draft competition in Shanghai.
He seems to be a professor of advertising department at a university in Shanghai, his name is Wang Jian.
"Teacher Wang?"
Xu Chen walked over with a smile.
He looked up and saw the words "Tonghai University" written on the X display stand beside Wang Jian.
Isn't this a coincidence...
