Chapter 1056: Graduation Season

In Quancheng, the weather is sunny and there is little breeze.

Outside the south gate of the central campus of Shandong University, the small square shines in the sun.

Six years ago, the then president ordered the 21-year-old "crooked door" to be demolished and replaced with the magnificent "arm gate" that is now in place.

There is an 11-meter tower on each side of the central axis, which echoes the main building and the height of the school's 110th anniversary. The tower is surrounded by an arc-shaped colonnade and embraces a semi-circular small square, implying an open mind and recruiting talents.

The symmetrical and modern shape looks dignified, regular, atmospheric, and very ceremonial, which is also in line with President Xu's identity as a legal expert.

The only bad thing is that this European-style column shape has long been flooded in China, not only for courts and universities, but also for real estate developers: there are no columns in the community, how can it be embarrassed to call itself "on the banks of the Seine" and "Roman style"?

In contrast, the original geometric "mountain gate" has much more personality, and the recognition is far from comparable to today's door. It's a pity that "the mountain peaks are skewed and the feng shui is not good", after Vice President Chen suffered from cancer and Principal Zhan fell because of his wife, the new principal broke down the door to save himself, and he was really promoted to the end of his term - of course, this is just a joke, but it is not true.

With the sound of tires honing, the silver-gray minivan gradually drove into the school gate, and Fang Junqi sat in the driver's seat.

Glancing over the freshly painted towers and colonnades, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I made the right bet, the school is really fast!"

Yesterday afternoon, this gate, which has always been controversial, was subjected to a "smear attack" and was splashed with a lot of red paint, which looked miserable.

The person who splashed the paint was said to be a professor at the university and had mental problems, and because of a conflict with the school, he took the door to vent his anger. After all, it was "my own family", and the school did not call the police because of the situation, so I could only find someone to smear and cover the matter overnight.

Hearing his words, Jin Cheng in the passenger seat put down his mobile phone, looked up at the bright south gate, and sighed: "How can there be so many deep wells of ice in the world? ”

showed his ID to register and enter the door, and Fang Junqi picked up the topic: "It doesn't matter, anyway, the school is about to change its name, and when the time comes, what does it matter if the gate of Shandong University is dirty or broken?"

After several months of fermentation, the rumors of the relocation of Shandong University were finally officially recognized, which caused a second wave of complaints.

"Alas!" Jin Cheng sighed again, "If Emperor Xianming had been re-elected, there would have been no such!"

"How is that possible?" Brother Xiao Qi shook his head, "Even if he is re-elected for four years, he still can't figure out the group of people who oppose moving back to the island city, and he still has to leave in the end." In other words, when Lao Xu made this door, it meant that he gave up with all his heart, otherwise how could he be willing to invest in the department?"

"Unfortunately, in the end, we had to move out. ”

"That's different, moving to the island city, although the city has obtained thousands of acres of high-quality land, but also lost the talent base and face, how can you agree to let go? ”

Jin Cheng didn't speak, and Guo Ming, who was in the back seat, suddenly got up and grabbed the back of the chair, "Then you say, is it considered that we are aiding the abuse?"

"Of course not," Fang Junqi pouted, "Dear, you overestimate our influence." ”

Rounding the beautiful and open Dacheng Plaza, the four-passenger car gradually slowed down and finally stopped in the shadows behind the main building.

Looking at the bright sun outside, Fang Junqi did not turn off the fire, enjoying the coolness of the car air conditioner, he picked up his mobile phone and sent a voice message to his girlfriend: "Huanhuan, we have arrived, where are you?"

A response soon came from the other side: "I just came downstairs and am coming, are you at the south gate?"

Fang Junqi nodded, "That's right, wait until you pass by the commissary, bring some ice cream or something by the way, you can choose the flavor, and I'll reimburse you later." ”

"No problem!"

Putting down the phone, Fang Junqi sat on his back in the driver's seat, his eyes casually looked at the northern sky, and muttered: "I'm looking forward to the weather forecast now and don't release pigeons, there will really be a thunderstorm tomorrow." Otherwise, I really can't live. ”

The continental monsoon climate is characterized by windy rainfall in summer, with strong winds blowing away heat and showers bringing coolness, which can effectively reduce ground temperature. Similarly, if the precipitation does not come as scheduled, the ground temperature will continue to rise, and there has only been one rain in Quancheng in the past half month, resulting in the daytime temperature has always remained above 30 degrees, and it soared to 36 degrees for three consecutive days before the Dragon Boat Festival.

Midsummer arrives early, and everyone else is miserable except for merchants who sell cold drinks, watermelons, mats, fans, waterbeds and other cooling items.

Guo Ming sat back in his place, took out his mobile phone and continued to play, "It should be able to come down, the light of Taihu Lake is still quite powerful! Speaking of which, we are quite good here." There will be several rains ahead, and the weather forecast says that the temperature will be lower than last month, which should be more comfortable. ”

As the world's first supercomputer, Sunway Taihu Light has undertaken a lot of weather deduction and simulation tasks, with the continuous improvement of relevant algorithms, the ability of weather forecasting is slowly improving, and the deviation between the forecast value and the actual value is getting smaller and smaller, especially in terms of temperature.

Hearing this, Jin Cheng shook his head, "Actually, it's not suitable for rain these days." If you look at the news, you will find that these days are just the harvest period of winter wheat, and if it rains now, the ears of wheat that are not harvested in time will sprout and lose a lot of yield. ”

The two of them were also sincere, and immediately changed their words: "Well, it's better to be a few days late! It's still hot in the thirties and won't die." ”

"It's a pity," Deng Shengyun sighed heavily: "The earth doesn't care if you want rain or not, the drought is drought, the waterlogging is dying, the reality is so bad!"

Fang Junqi smiled and joked to this roommate: "Dear, the Civil Affairs Bureau doesn't send wives, and there are no old men under the moon or red line boys in the sky, and girls still need to find their own drops! Of course, me and Huanhuan can also provide you with help and help create some opportunities or something." ”

At this moment, a beautiful female voice joined in: "What do you want me to do?"

turned his head to look out of the car window, but Zhang Huan finally arrived.

The girl was wearing a very neat and refreshing dress today, a white short-sleeved shirt with a black knee skirt, a ponytail at the back of her head, green daisy on her eyebrows, and lipstick on her lips.

"Huh?" Noticing her obviously heavy makeup, Fang Junqi opened his mouth and asked, "The makeup is so thick, isn't this your style?"

Zhang Wan smiled, "I'm going to wear a big black robe today, if I don't do this, I will look bloodless, but it won't look good." ”

Fang Junqi subconsciously shook his head, "There's no need, you don't show your face anyway." ”

The girl snorted softly, "I'm willing, you care about me?"

"Okay, okay, it's good if you're happy," Brother Xiao Qi hurriedly backed down, pushed the car door and walked down, only to find that there was a female companion next to his girlfriend.

Turning her head to look, this girl obviously knows how to play up her strengths and avoid weaknesses, she is petite, she chose a cute dressing style, the shirt is a lace round neck, the neckline is tied with a rose red silk tie knot, and the black skirt is a pleated style full of student spirit, with round toe square buckle small leather shoes, the overall look is cute, giving people the feeling of legal Lori.

Seeing that Fang Junqi and the others were looking at their companions, Zhang Huan stretched out her hand and introduced: "This is Sun Xinrui, my classmate, how beautiful is it? I want her to take pictures with me, no problem, right?"

"Of course it's no problem," Fang Junqi nodded, threw the other party a look that you were happy with, and sold his teammates, "You see Brother Yun's eyes are straight!"

I have to say that although the image requirements of the broadcasting and hosting major are not as high as those of the acting major, it is also not a place where ordinary looks and small transparency can be admitted - unless he or she is appreciated by God and has a good voice that the art examination examiner really can't give up. However, the latter situation is rare, after all, the overall decline of the broadcasting industry and the dubbing industry has made fewer and fewer people who purely eat voice food, and universities will naturally not create more students in the direction of broadcasting and dubbing for the sake of employment rate.

Of course, the reason why Sun Xinrui looks beautiful is also related to the fact that she is a sophomore and will be promoted to a junior next semester. Make-up is one of the four major evil arts in Asia, and it has a huge impact on people's appearance.

In the same way, lipstick, clothes, and bags are not very cheap, and if you want to be beautiful all the time, you have to continue to spend money, just like boys keep throwing money into games in order to continue to be strong. Many of the girls who bought an iPhone with an IOU and bought lipstick as a school chicken fell like this.

Zhang Huan and Sun Xinrui didn't want to earn those "quick money", but they didn't rule out working part-time to earn pocket money, and then they appeared here.

Handing the bag of ice cream and ice cream to her boyfriend, Zhang Wan didn't forget to urge: "Hurry up and eat, hurry up and start work when you're done, I have to go to several schools today!"

Everyone naturally responded in unison, bowing their heads and chewing without mentioning it.

In other words, Fang Junqi and they did not take advantage of the weekend rest to play games in the dormitory, but rented a Wuling micro-noodle and drove into the city.

Of course, the gang is only in their second year, and they are still two years away from graduation season. The photos were actually ordered by Bee Network. The latter jointly launched the "Graduation Season Photo Contest" in conjunction with the school's intranet, which collects photos for college students across the country for a fee, and as long as the photos are delicate and pleasing to the eye and popular, they can receive a variety of cash prizes.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were still relatively few people participating in the event, Fang Junqi decisively pulled up a team, planning to grab the collection task of the main universities in Quancheng before everyone else, and specially rented a huge capacity, cheap and affordable Wuling Hongguang.

Taking advantage of Fang Junqi's efforts to nibble on ice cream, Zhang Huan pulled Sun Xinrui into the car, looking for the clothes they were going to wear today, which can be called the bachelor's uniform of the protagonist of the college graduation season.

The official name of this thing is the degree gown, which consists of four parts: a square bachelor's hat, a tasseled tassel, a collarless robe, and a pullover triangular pocket drape. According to different identities, the degree gown is divided into five versions: bachelor's, master's, doctoral, degree committee, and president, and the bachelor's gown is black, the master's blue robe, the doctor's black and red robe, and the president wears a big red robe.

Modern universities and degree systems originated in medieval Italy, where the gown was originally a daily robe and hood worn by Italian monks and scholars, and later evolved into today's ceremonial clothing. With the spread of Western learning to the East, the degree gown has also taken root in China with modern universities, and has become the standard dress for formal occasions such as degree conferment ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, and school anniversary celebrations.

Although from time to time there are clothing lovers who come forward to advocate academic gowns with traditional elements or new concepts, they have never been able to gain the support of the education department and most schools, and the vast majority of graduates still wear old bachelor's gowns made according to the 1994 version of the degree gown dress code - and there is a high probability that they have been handed down by their predecessors.

Normally, the school will provide free school gowns for the graduating class to take photos and participate in the graduation ceremony, and then collect them afterwards, clean and store them for next year. However, these free clothes often have the problem of oversize and sloppy folds, which are very bad for the image when worn on the body, not to mention, and sometimes there will be embarrassment that does not match the professionalism.

There are six colors of drape trim in the academic robe: pink, gray, yellow, green, white, and red, which correspond to the six disciplines of arts, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, and the military. Because they are rarely used, graduates rarely pay attention to these details, often what the college gives them what to wear, and they will make jokes if they are not careful.

Of course, if the college is more of a bunker and insists on making mistakes and making mistakes, it can also be unique and self-contained, making "mistakes" unique. For example, economics and management are usually classified as science majors, and graduates should be dressed in the gray edge of science monks, but the economics and management majors of Peking University insist on approving the powder edge of liberal arts students. Their good friend, Tsinghua is also not far behind, wearing the yellow-edged drape of an engineering monk with all kinds of swagger.

Since it is a photo collection and sales for money, naturally he can't use the old and wrinkled bachelor's uniforms in the school, so Fang Junqi specially ordered a batch of costumes from the Internet. The size is smaller, the waist is cinched and the line is accentuated, and the texture of the fabric is more photogenic.

Therefore, when Zhang Huan and Sun Xinrui changed their clothes and walked out of the car, not only Fang Jin, Deng Guo and the four of them were stunned, but the pedestrians around them also turned their heads to look around, expressing surprise at the sudden change in painting style. People rely on clothing, and clothes rely on people to support, and such a result is completely expected.

Zhang Huan expressed her satisfaction with this, walked up to Fang Junqi and turned around, and asked with a smile: "How is it?

The black robe is only knee-length, revealing a pair of smooth calves, and the chest is covered with a V-shaped pink-trimmed drape, with a pink bow at the collar of the shirt, which looks full of intellectual beauty.

Fang Junqi nodded, reached out and pinched the black hat tassel on the side of the other party's head, gently dialed it to the left front, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Zhang Huan, you have graduated!"

Who knows, Zhang Huan didn't appreciate it, glared at him, and said angrily: "Fang Junqi, you take advantage of me again!"

The highlight of the graduation ceremony is the tasseling ceremony in which the principal moves the tassel for the graduates and issues the graduation certificate.

"Haha, just kidding. But your tassel is really wrong, and it should be placed on the left when you graduate. ”
