Columbia University, located in the Harlem borough of Manhattan, New York. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Yan, who hasn't been to school for several months, arrived here early today, not for anything else, just because his exchange years are coming to an end.

As an exchange student for a year, Li Yan only stayed in school for two or three months, and the rest of the time, he was running around. Therefore, except for his supervisor, he only knew a few Chinese students in the same period.

Formalities, academic evaluation, document review, and all kinds of trivial matters entangled Li Yan's time in the morning, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, a certificate of qualification was handed over to Li Yan.

After bidding farewell to his advisor, Li Yan whistled and wandered around Columbia's campus.

As one of the Ivy Leagues, Columbia University has produced countless historical figures. Five Founding Fathers of the United States, three Presidents of the United States, twenty-nine U.S. governors, and thirty-four heads of state graduated from here.

A total of 104 Nobel laureates have studied or taught at Columbia, 29 Oscar winners and 31 living billionaires have come out of here!

Columbia University has the world's top law schools, business schools, journalism schools, etc., and the Pulitzer Prize awarded by its journalism school is the highest honor in journalism in the United States and even the world.

Hu Shi, Tang Zhaoyi, Xu Zhimo, Wen Yiduo, Tao Xingzhi, Feng Youlan, Jin Yuelin, Liang Shiqiu, Hou Debang and others are also alumni of Columbia University.

The reason why so many elites can appear is that Columbia University never stops exploring. Every student here is fighting for their dreams.

The hurried and unkempt students had a visceral frenzy on their faces. It's a real place to learn, not a cage for learning's sake.

"Li Yan! How are you here! Li Yan, who was sighing with emotion, was suddenly stopped. He shouldn't know anyone at school, right? How can anyone know their name? Puzzled in his heart, Li Yan turned his head to look.

"Huang Qiang, it's you!"

After seeing the appearance of the person who came, Li Yan was overjoyed, walked a few steps quickly, and stepped forward to hug the other party enthusiastically.

"I haven't seen you for half a year! I thought you had graduated! ”

"I just finished the formalities today, so I guess it's the end of my student days!"

Huang Qiang, an international student from China, is also one of Li Yan's few friends in Columbia. At first, it was because the two of them studied the same major and were both the same instructor, so they knew each other.

"By the way, our Columbia University Huaxia Alumni Association, do you know that there is a graduation party tonight?" After chatting a few words, Huang Qiang said to Li Yan.

"Graduation party?" Shaking his head, Li Yan said: "I don't know, I haven't been in school all the time, and I don't know many people, so I shouldn't have been notified!" ”

"Tell me more! I've been here for so long, and I haven't seen you in school a few times! After laughing at Li Yan a few words, Huang Qiang warmly invited: "Since you know, then go with me!" The party starts at about six o'clock, and we're going to be just in time for it! ”

"No one invited me, so I'll go straight like this, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!"

"What's wrong with that! It's not a formal occasion, it's just a party that we mess around with, very casual! ”

It was difficult to resist Huang Qiang, Li Yan knew that he nodded and agreed, and rushed to the party with him.

"Squeak!"

The taxi stopped, Huang Qiang stepped down, pointed to the signboard in front of him and said, "This is it!" ”

"Huh? Red Pharaoh's Bar? ”

"What's wrong? Have you been here? ”

"No, I've just heard of it!"

The Red Pharaoh's bar in front of him was obviously different from the one Wilson had taken him to before. Judging from the decoration and geographical location of the store, the grade here should be far inferior to the previous one.

Come to think of it, an ultra-luxurious place like last time that ordinary people can't afford to spend at all. If you want to make more profits, you need to divide different grades to cater to more consumer classes.

"By the way, how is the money for the party shared? Now that I'm participating, I'm going to pay the money anyway! ”

"You don't have to pay it!" Waving his hand, Huang Qiang explained: "This party was organized by several rich second generations in China, and the money was also paid in advance by them. ”

"Oh, and such a good thing?"

"You don't know when you're not in school, things like this have actually happened many times!"

With the rapid development of China's economy, more and more first-generation wealth accumulators want their children to receive better elite education, and the tide of studying abroad has become more and more enthusiastic.

However, many of these rich second generations are mixed ancestors who do not learn and have no skills, and according to normal procedures, they cannot be admitted to these prestigious schools at all.

But how can all the Western countries, which are guided by capital, let go of these banknote-wielding financiers?

After revising the admission rules, these rich second generations, who should have been turned away, entered these world-class schools in a grand manner.

However, the majors they study are only cooperative majors that sell dog meat on sheep's heads, and some of them don't even issue graduation certificates from their own schools!

The rich second generation who don't have to study hard, all they can do every day is to compare wealth and socialize. They appear every night in New York's major night clubs.

So, how can an important graduation party like today be without their participation? Besides, this is a good opportunity to show their financial resources, and they naturally won't miss it!

And those real scholars who study weekdays, most of whom are from ordinary families, are also happy to contribute money to build a farewell stage for themselves.

In this way, the two groups of people who tacitly hit it off came together for the first time.

After listening to Huang Qiang's explanation, Li Yan nodded suddenly, "I didn't expect that life in school is so complicated." A small Huaxia Alumni Association can make so many things! ”

"Where there are people, there are naturally interests, and where there are interests, disputes are naturally indispensable." Leading Li Yan into the bar, Huang Qiang said: "Today, this store has been chartered by us, no one else is here, you can also take the opportunity to meet a few more alumni, and it will not be in vain for you to come to Columbia University!" I still have some business, you go around by yourself first, and I'll come back to you later. ”

"Well, thank you, then you can get busy first."

After waving goodbye to Huang Qiang, Li Yan sat on the bar boringly, asked for a glass of whiskey, and began to look around.

Although the decoration of this Red Pharaoh Bar is not as luxurious as the one Li Yan has been to before, it is only compared to other entertainment venues, it can be regarded as the middle and upper class.

Groups of students gathered together and chatted with their acquaintances. Although due to the special reason of graduation, the two groups of people who originally did not like each other reluctantly got together, but the habits they developed over time still made them distinct and obviously divided into two factions.

A group of well-dressed and high-spirited people, holding wine bottles and clinking glasses frequently. One faction is a little restrained, with a slight unnaturalness in his eyes.

"I don't know who organized this party, the atmosphere is obviously wrong, and no one has turned out to adjust it!"

"Dangdang Dang"

As soon as he finished complaining, he saw a tall boy in a banquet suit stand up and knock on the wine glass in his hand. After the eyes of the people at the scene focused on him, he said with satisfaction: "Hello everyone, my name is Song Zhenbing, and I am the initiator of this party. Four years are fleeting, and our days at Columbia University are coming to an end, for the sake of our youth, I propose that everyone raise their glasses and have a glass with the alumni who are familiar or unfamiliar with us! ”

"Hmm."

"Okay."

"Let's have a drink, then."

……

Looking at the sparse echo from the audience, Song Zhenbing's face was embarrassed, and after taking care of himself and having a glass of wine with the person next to him, he sat down unwillingly.

"Hehe, pretending to be forced can't be ****! Rising birds aren't so easy to be! ”

However, after being so troubled by Song Zhenbing, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became warmer. After someone took the lead, people also began to break out of the established circle and move around.

But Li Yan looked around, but he didn't find anyone he knew, so he sighed resignedly, "Hey, it seems that I can only be alone!" ”

"Li Yan? It's really you! I thought I was mistaken! ”

Before he finished speaking, a crisp voice came from behind Li Yan, and the familiar voice made his heart move, and he hurriedly turned around to look......
