Chapter 65: Courage to Take a Step

At the beginning of July, the money leopard who was still at the top of the Euro-American Exchange was still two lonely men drinking-but this time, Jiang Yucheng's expression became much more relaxed, and Senior Brother Ye beside him was already a little drunk at this time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What happened before, it was really ...... Thank you, brother. Jiang Yucheng raised his glass to greet Senior Brother Ye, "If it weren't for Senior Brother Ye, I really can't imagine what would have happened......

Although he was slapped twice by Senior Brother Ye in a row, Jiang Yucheng only had gratitude and admiration for Senior Brother Ye, and had no resentment at all - after all, if Senior Brother Ye hadn't woken up his confused self, then he might really have to lose Xiaoqi forever......

"Yucheng, I'll ask you out today......" Senior Brother Ye took a sip of the sake in the cup, and said to Jiang Yucheng with some shaking his head, "I-I don't want to hear you thank you or apologize to you at all." I don't feel like I've done anything great - and I've never regretted what I've done. ”

It seems that Senior Brother Ye is a little drunk today...... But how much did he just drink? Jiang Yucheng was very puzzled.

"At the end of the day, I'm telling you...... I don't have to care about you kid - who are you? You're not the boss, you're not the school, and you don't pay me...... Even if you have more girls, you can write C++ and make games...... Isn't that just TM a small undergraduate? ”

"Ah, yes......"

That's too unkind to say, isn't it? Jiang Yucheng frowned slightly, but he didn't take it too seriously—he continued to make a deferential appearance.

"Having said all this, what do I mean by what I want to tell you-" After going around for a long time, Senior Brother Ye was finally about to get to the point, "What about me, I want to tell you something today...... It's not because I'm afraid of you, it's not because I'm trying to say anything about you—it's just something I think I really want to talk to you. ”

"I, although I am not an elder, but I am a few years older than you, and I have been in this pit for a few more years - so I think I am still capable, and it is necessary to tell you a little bit, the experience of life ......"

After going around and around, he finally got to the point - Jiang Yucheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that nine times out of ten, the senior brother wants to talk to himself about the chemistry major!

"Yucheng, how did you think of reporting here in the first place?" Senior Brother Ye asked first.

"That...... It's because I like chemistry......" Jiang Yu replied with a smile...... Is that really the case? Jiang Yucheng himself is a little uncertain now.

"Really?" Senior Brother stared at Jiang Yucheng and asked—with a subtle smile on his face.

"That...... It's because ...... High School Chemistry ...... Well learned......"

Under the "coercion" of his senior brother, Jiang Yucheng had no choice but to confess and be lenient.

"I know ......" Senior Brother showed a smug smile of "everything is under control", "If you really like chemistry, you will definitely not come here to go far and far - even if you can't get into the CCME (Peking University Institute of Chemistry) in terms of this score, there must be no problem if you go to a real chemistry school like Jida Wuhan University...... Well, this can be regarded as a unique problem brought about by the domestic education system! ”

Jiang Yucheng was not only a little ashamed, but also surprised - he didn't expect that this senior brother, who usually looked cowering and cowardly, and had no opinions, could actually say these words that were obviously after careful consideration......

What do you mean by "unique problems"? ”

With the unprecedented side that Senior Brother Ye showed, Jiang Yucheng asked with curiosity.

"In short—" Senior Brother Ye said as he picked up a piece of roasted beef and stuffed it into his mouth, "There are good and bad sides to the exam-oriented education system adopted by high schools in China—everyone knows the good side, so I won't talk about it." When I say "the bad side", I mean this - excessive study pressure has made many high school students blind, and they can only see the little things in the textbooks, and their ability to explore the world outside the textbooks is seriously insufficient. ”

This has two undesirable consequences - one is that the students have no idea what they want to do in the future. The college entrance examination itself is indeed a lifelong point - but only if you know where you need to use it, otherwise you will have to be like you, applying for the college based entirely on feeling, or completely listening to your parents. If it feels right, or if the parents are reliable, then everyone is happy – but in many cases, this feeling is often wrong, and the parents' own insight is not enough to guide the students to make the right choice...... As a result, students get high scores in the exam, but in the end they enter some majors that look glamorous but are actually huge pits. ”

"But Senior Brother," Jiang Yucheng couldn't help but argue when he heard this, "I still remember that two years ago, the principal said at the guidance meeting for volunteering, "Undergraduate schools are more important than majors......

"Well, how do you say it......" the senior brother drank another glass of wine, "this is right, it is also not right--this is the second problem I said: many students have developed such a problem - just bury their heads in the cart, do not look up at the road, thinking that if they continue the high school system in college, they can go all the way to a bright ending by being an obedient and good student." But what about the reality? ”

Senior Brother Ye picked up a piece of salmon, dipped it in mustard soy sauce, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it vigorously, "To mix in society, you must either master a practical technique, or have a strong "activity ability" (interpersonal skills). If your major is good enough, then be a good student, learn technology solidly, and you will definitely not worry about work; If you consciously look for internships to improve your ability from the very beginning, with the aim of "I'm just here to get a diploma", then you can also find a job - and you can also find a very good job with the help of the school's signboard, which is what your president said "undergraduate school is more important than major". ”

I see...... Jiang Yucheng nodded thoughtfully—in other words, if both sides couldn't be relied on, wouldn't they need a cup......

"In other words, if the profession itself is a pit, then it is not a person at both ends, and it is not a person inside and out." As if seeing through Jiang Yucheng's thoughts, Senior Brother Ye further explained, "I see that you have been paying attention to a lot of persuasion issues on Zhihu recently--what is the situation of this major, I think you should also know something." In short, the theoretical system of this profession is incomplete, and the result is that the application is narrow, and the working situation is very unsatisfactory -- because scientific research is completely stir-fried, and the results that cannot be produced depend on the character, and the cost of trial and error is too high, so everyone is unwilling to invest money in it. And also because of the incomplete theoretical system, many of the chemistry students learn the art of dragon slaying - mathematics and physics are also difficult to find a job, why is no one shouting about pits? Because they have mastered the most fundamental mathematical tools, mathematics and physics are good to turn to finance, CS, and crush a large piece in minutes. Look at us again, hehe......"

Senior Brother Ye shrugged his shoulders, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then took another long sip of wine.

"A person's fate depends not only on self-struggle, but also on the course of history-" Senior Brother Ye continued--As for such a thing as "blurting out quotations", Jiang Yucheng was too lazy to complain, "The general environment dictates that domestic college students are more or less afraid of contact with the society--if it is another major, either the major itself is popular, and there is a skill, and they are not so afraid of finding a job; Either everyone runs to the internship, and you don't go and look different. The matter of contacting the society, just like [beep-], after the first time, the subsequent things are much easier. ”

"And our major, as I said just now, job hunting is very disadvantageous - and on this basis, there is such a seemingly high-sounding path as "scientific research", and then, graduate school, is also quite in line with the politically correct ...... of high school students' thinking."

Senior Brother Ye paused, and then looked at Jiang Yucheng thoughtfully:

"To be honest, Yucheng - you said you want to study for a Ph.D., is it really because you like scientific research? Or is it just ...... Want to escape? ”

"I ...... I really don't like scientific research that much......"

has come to this point, and Jiang Yucheng really has no need to continue to hide it, "Especially when he knows ...... After scientific research is so difficult......"

"So, Yucheng—that's what I'm going to tell you about my life experience."

Senior Brother Ye paused and took a deep breath:

"No matter what—don't run away! I'm not going to dissuade you like those people on Zhihu - I just want to tell you: many things are actually not as terrible as you think, as long as you take the first step, all the problems that follow are not a problem. On the contrary, if you continue to run away like this, then your path will only get narrower and narrower, and in the end, you will inevitably lose everything and be completely unsustainable......"

"This ...... It's my brother's...... Life Experience...... ......"

Although Jiang Yucheng is obviously far from the point where Senior Brother Ye said "unsustainable", driven by Senior Brother Ye's emotions, Jiang Yucheng seems to have seen his future - he can't help but gasp.

"Yes - or rather, my blood and tears teach ......" Senior Brother Ye sighed, "You are different from me - you are only a sophomore now, everything is still in time, and you still have such a good foundation...... In short, you don't have to lose anything if you go now-do you like CS? ”

Jiang Yucheng was silent for a moment, and finally nodded vigorously.

"Then start now-your programming foundation is so good, whether it's looking for a job directly or preparing for graduate school, it's not a problem." Senior Brother Ye said earnestly, "From now on, decide the direction of your next development, and then make great strides forward-Sao Nian, it's not too late." ”

"Uh-hmm, I see, thank you, brother."

Jiang Yucheng nodded solemnly—and then, he couldn't help but think of a new question:

"That'...... How can I ...... senior brother?"

"I should have said it - in you, I saw the past me......" Senior Brother Ye smiled self-deprecatingly, "Right now, I have been swept away by the boss. ”

"Huh?!"

Jiang Yucheng was suddenly shocked in his heart, "Sweep the floor and go out?!" ”

"Well, it's not that exaggerated......" Seeing Jiang Yucheng's frightened appearance, Senior Brother Ye smiled even more happily, "My project is over, I can send a paper to ensure graduation." And then I told my boss I didn't want to do it anymore -- guess what, what did the boss say to me? ”

Without waiting for Jiang Yucheng to answer, Senior Brother Ye first said:

He patted me on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you're really not fit to be organic...... He also sees my operation, and the data I make is not much better than you--don't forget that I'm already in my second year of research...... What the boss meant was that he didn't want me to continue doing it - it was a waste of lab money, after all. He didn't tell me before that he thought I wanted to continue doing it, and he didn't want to let me do it as a teacher......"

"And now the senior brother himself said that he didn't want to continue to do it, so the boss agreed?" Jiang Yucheng asked.

"Well, yes-" Senior Brother Ye nodded, "After all, our group is already short of funds, and the boss is this age, so he has all the things he should get, and his son has also been admitted to the Medical Department of Peking University, what other pursuits in life need to be so tiring and tiring?" Now I'm done with everything I'm going to do here in the lab -- he's going to do the materials, but I think about it and forget it, so I say to him, "Teacher, I want to go to an internship," and he nods his head -- that's it. Now I'm out of the lab. ”

"I see—that's great......"

I don't know why, it obviously has nothing to do with him, but Jiang Yucheng is still relieved.

"Now that I think about it, the days in the first half of the year are really unbearable......" Senior Brother Ye raised his head and closed his eyes, "At that time, I had to use dichloride every day for the things I made, and it was so dizzy that I smoked it...... After tossing around all day during the day, and coming back at night, I was so tired that I wanted to go to bed, but I still forced myself to learn programming...... And then learning to code or being taught to be a human ......"

It's miserable...... Jiang Yucheng felt scared when he heard it - how hard it was to move bricks, he had personally experienced it, and as an undergraduate, he was still free to advance and retreat after all; But Senior Brother Ye is a graduate student, so there is no way back at all!

"Wait!" Jiang Yucheng suddenly remembered that the experimental class last semester was led by Senior Brother Ye, "So during the experimental class, Senior Brother Ye looked like that......"

"Well, that's right—that's why." Senior Brother Ye said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, that day I watched you write games in the laboratory, and when I went back that night, I cried all night - you are still young, you still have a chance, but I don't!" At that time, there were several times when I seriously considered jumping from the roof of the graduate building—the one I just jumped from in May, and I jumped from the roof of our building...... At that time, I was thinking, when will I be the second (jumper)...... But in the end, I backed down. I have the idea of seeking death but I don't have the courage to seek death, I really ...... hehe"

"It's better not to have such courage—" Jiang Yucheng hurriedly said, "At least now, Senior Brother Ye has saved me and saved himself." ”

"Well, this can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good!" Senior Brother Ye smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's a little late now, but at least it's not the worst yet—I can't ask for more with such luck......"

"Ah, by the way, Senior Brother Ye's internship, plan to ......"

"I just met an Internet company that does online education today, and after ......" Senior Brother Ye shrugged his shoulders - at this time, his eyes rarely showed a little smugness, "Mainly for front-end development positions - I learned JavaScript, which is quite smooth......"

It turns out that Senior Brother Ye has also been prepared...... At this point, Jiang Yucheng was even more respectful of Senior Brother Ye.

"Yucheng, your foundation is much better than mine-I don't understand C++...... Senior Brother Ye patted Jiang Yucheng on the shoulder, "Don't worry about boldly going to apply for a job!" You're sure you'll be able to go further than I do......"

"Well, I understand, senior brother."

This is our own, let's fight......
