83 Alum's Views on Love
On Thursday afternoon, Jiang Zhihan and Alum made an appointment to go to Professor Jing’s office to pick up books. After class was finished at four o’clock, he studied for about an hour. Jiang Zhihan asked Teacher Li for leave, and met with Alum at the appointment, and walked towards Professor Jing’s office together.
Alum told Jiang Zhihan that Professor Jing had changed his office and that the place now is much more grand.
Alum said: "The internal documents have come out. Professor Jing is the vice chairman of the newly established academic advisory committee. I told you last time that although this is just a false title, his status is very high. In addition, the Provincial Reform Commission recently hired Mr. Jing as an advisor. I heard that Governor Du, who is newly arrived in Liangchuan Province, is going to establish a new institution, called the Economic Policy and Strategic Reform Advisory Committee, and Mr. Jing will also be one of the members."
Alum looked at Jiang Zhihan and said, "Do you know what kind of businessman is the most awesome businessman? Red-topped businessman. So what kind of scholar is the most vocal scholar here? The imperial scholar."
Jiang Zhihan frowned and said, "Why does this imperial scholar not sound very nice?"
Alum laughed and said, "Professor Jing is not a kind of scholar who flatters and welcomes you. However, after entering such an institution, the weight of his speech will be different. You can give advice to the officials from the border face to face. Think about it, why would the school not look at each other differently?"
Jiang Zhihan smiled and said, "After Brother Ming, you are really learning. The knowledge in and outside the books has increased."
The two of them were talking and laughing, and came to Professor Jing's office, but there was a large suite, with a secretary sitting outside. The secretary told them that Professor Jing had something to do and handed them the two wrapped books.
When he walked out, Jiang Zhihan opened his eyes and took a look. "Keynes's Economics and Economic Cycles" and "Psychological Analysis of the Capital Market", and "Economics" and "Professor Jing's handwritten annotations. Jiang Zhihan carefully held them in his arms, and was a little flattered for the care of this great scholar.
The alum said, "Old Jing really looks at you differently. I wonder why you got into his eyes. Cherish it." He also said, "I'm right, Mr. Jing is no longer busy now."
The two walked out of the office building gate and were going down the stairs when a girl came towards her. She was dressed simply, had slender figures, and had delicate features. There seemed to be one or two faint freckles on her face. The alum stopped and called out to her senior sister with a smile on her face.
The girl stopped and asked the alum: "Have you ever met Teacher Jing?"
Alum said: "Teacher Jing went to the meeting. I brought Jiang Zhihan to pick up the book. By the way, do you know Jiang Zhihan? He also participated in some of the last project."
The girl's lips curled up slightly, she smiled a little, and stretched out her hand, "My name is Shen Huaqian. You did the document indexing and proofreading of that part of my last time. I don't have the chance to thank you."
Jiang Zhihan stretched out his hand and gently held it. The girl's hand skin was cool. Jiang Zhihan smiled and said, "It should be that I thank Professor Jing and you for giving me such a good study opportunity."
Shen Huaqian nodded gently and said goodbye to the two and left.
The alum said to Jiang Zhihan, "Find a place to sit." So the two bought two cups of Coke, found a feldspar chair under a big tree and sat down.
Jiang Zhihan took a sip of Coke and said, "Is that girl your senior sister? She looks very young, and I'm afraid anyone who says it's my classmates will believe it."
Alum said: "Senior Sister Chen is Professor Jing's proud disciple. This year it is the third year of a doctoral student. She is a genuine senior sister. Don't look at her younger face and after working for a long time, she can naturally feel her majesty. In the research group, except for a few teachers, she can be considered as a scrupulous person."
Jiang Zhihan really didn't expect that the pretty young girl just now had such majesty. He watched a college couple walk past the gravel road beside them. The girl put her hands in the boy's pockets, snuggled her head in her boyfriend's arms, and looked happy. She couldn't help but sit there and smile, and she had a bit of longing: under the tree-lined avenue on the university campus, holding Ni Shang's hand gently, walking freely in the fallen leaves of autumn or the spring sunshine, what kind of enjoyment should it be?
The alum looked at Jiang Zhihan and smiled and said, "Are you envious?"
Jiang Zhihan smiled and said, "I can't say that my envy is true, but I have a little desire."
Alum said: "There are many love stories in college..... The senior sister Chen you met just now was also full of suitors in the department when he was a bachelor's degree. The senior brothers all said that she was the kind of girl who was okay at first sight, but the more she looked, the more she tasted. As a result, what surprised everyone was that she chose a guy who was not good-looking. He was down-to-earth and honest. The boy was a gloomy and never liked. After Senior Sister Chen was with him in his third year, some of his friends around him gradually became distant. After graduating from undergraduate studies, Senior Sister Chen was admitted to graduate school. The boy was indeed amazing. I don't know how he got a Canadian study abroad. Quote. When I was just the first year, I had a phone call a few weeks later. Professor Jing said at that time that he had contact with several Canadian universities and tried to give Senior Sister Chen a chance to do a one-year exchange training student in two years. As a result, starting from the second year, the news became less and less, and it gradually broke down. There was a senior brother in our research group who was in the same class as Senior Sister Shen and had a good relationship with her, so he advised her that there is nothing to be left with such people. Now you are not short of suitors. But no matter what others say, Senior Sister has really become a workaholic in the past two years. She is the one who stays at the institute until the latest. Maybe, she has lost confidence in the so-called love."
Jiang Zhihan sighed: "Chen Shimei's story is always repeated, and there is nothing we can do about it."
Alum said: "So, my point of view is that the key to relationships is not to make trouble. Find someone who is at peace, has a good character, and has a stable back. Spending more energy on your career is serious."
Jiang Zhihan smiled and said, "You are standing and talking without any pain. Sister Shanshan is beautiful and gentle. Not everyone can meet her luck."
Alum said: "The best thing about Shanshan is not this. She doesn't have much ambitions and wants to live a stable and stable life. Moreover, although there are many friends, they are not strong in comparison with others, which is very consistent with my principle of not making trouble."
The two sat on the stone chair and chatted aimlessly. The alum asked: "I heard from Shanshan, don't you have a very good girl? When will ** come to have dinner together? You don't want to promote it everywhere, and we won't do that."
Jiang Zhihan sighed, "To be honest, I have anything to hide in front of you, but she was afraid that her family would find out, after all, she was still in high school. In fact, she also came together for this training camp."
Alum pulled Jiang Zhihan up and said, "Let's go and have a look. To be honest, I've always been curious about what kind of girl you like?"
Jiang Zhihan hesitated: "There may be some other classmates here."
The alum said disdainfully: "Who am I? Can you still miss the bottom line?"
Jiang Zhihan couldn't resist and had to walk to the classroom with the alum. He was not sure if Ni Shang was still there.
Because they are familiar with the environment, the two leading teachers no longer require group activities. Except for class being on time, the rest of the time is relatively free. However, they must return to their residence before 9 o'clock in the evening, and they are not allowed to move alone.
Jiang Zhihan walked into the classroom and saw Ni Shang and Ruan Fangfang still there, and there were two or three boys from No. 7 Middle School, but Chen Wenshi and Gou Puli had already left.
The alum walked beside Jiang Zhihan and whispered: "Who are the two beauties? Who are they?"
Jiang Zhihan said: "That by the window."
When he got closer, the alum greeted him warmly: "Ni Shang, Shanshan was still saying two days ago that she asked you to come out for dinner on the weekend last time, but it was a pity that you were not available. Today, it was a coincidence that you came to us, but unfortunately she was very busy with work these two days."
Ni Shang opened her innocent big eyes and thought to herself whether we are familiar with each other. But she still replied: "I haven't seen Sister Shanshan for a long time. I met her once outside the library last month."
The alum said: "If you arrive here, if you don't fulfill your host's friendship, Shanshan will scold me to death. Why not have dinner together?"
Ni Shang was caught off guard with the enthusiasm of alum and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jiang Zhihan.
The alum continued: "Uh, by the way, I haven't seen Uncle Ni for a long time, is he okay?"
Ni Shang was already fainting, "Uh... he is pretty good."
Unable to help but the alums invite him warmly, Ni Shang finally brought Ruan Fangfang together. The four of them followed the alums' arrangement and went to visit the campus of Zhongzhou University first, and then went to the restaurant next to them for dinner.
Alum is indeed a good tour guide, and he seems to be a sensible figure on campus. People say hello to him from time to time along the way.
The alum introduced them that when entering through the main gate, most of the buildings on the old central axis of the Zhongzhou University campus were built in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and some of the shadows of the former Soviet Union buildings were sturdy and practical. The buildings along the way were characterized by red bricks, which contrasted with green trees and grass, making them a major landscape on the campus.
Fold from the old central axis to the left, and walk for six or seven minutes, it is the new central axis of the campus. Most of the buildings along the way have been built in the past four or five years. The floors are usually about seventh floors, which are taller than the old ones. The equipment in the building is more modern, but the alum said he doesn't like the appearance of the floor, and the white mosaics look very uncharacteristic and tasteless.
Walking up from the old central axis, to the northwest corner of the campus, more and more pairs of college couples are in pairs, some holding hands, some hugging their waists, and hugging and kissing under the shade of trees in broad daylight. Ni Shang and Ruan Fangfang were both a little shy, looking down at the ground. When they walked to the end of the road, there was a small pond surrounded by green trees, next to it was an abstract modern sculpture and a large lawn.
Alum smiled and said, "This is the number one scenic spot in our mid-largest. Visitors must not miss it. The famous Lovers Lake."
Jiang Zhihan suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted: "I'd love if this is the case!"
Ni Shang said angrily: "Why are you crazy?"
Ruan Fangfang chuckled and said, "Someone probably saw something and was stimulated!"
