Chapter 65: Graduation Ceremony (2)
While talking, Xiao Yun walked back from outside, and everyone saw Xiao Yun walking in, and quickly dispersed!
The dean also walked in with a smile on his face, and then whispered something in the ear of the head of the department.
The dean of the department then announced that the graduation ceremony would continue.
After Xiao Yun sat down, she looked at me and asked, "What were you talking about just now?" Why did everyone disperse as soon as they saw me? β
"Nothing? Chat casually among the classmates, and it is estimated that the ceremony is about to start and go back quickly! I looked at Xiao Yun and said, "You really went to the dean just now?" β
"Go!"
"The dean agreed?" I asked.
"Promised!" Xiao Yun said with a smile.
"Wouldn't it? Agreed so quickly? It's too sudden, this-"
Xiao Yun made a silent gesture to me, "Don't be in a hurry to say it yet, we'll talk later!" β
The second half of the ceremony was a bit like going through the motions, and before you knew it, it was coming to an end.
At the end of the day, the head of the department suddenly smiled and said, "Everyone, tonight, the college will hold a farewell banquet at the Student Hotel, welcome everyone!" Now, I declare that the graduation ceremony has been successfully concluded! β
"Wow! The school is so generous, there is still food! A female classmate next to him said.
"I've never seen the school so atmospheric, but today the sun came out in the west?" A classmate said.
"Whatever, there's free food at night anyway, tonight's scene is grand, I have to dress up when I go back!" A chubby girl said.
"What I'm saying is that the sisters prepare well tonight, maybe they can catch a golden beetle son-in-law at the banquet tonight!" A girl said happily, and several girls next to her echoed, looking like they were living in a dormitory!
Walking on the tree-lined path of the school, I looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock, and I was about to take Xiao Yun away, when suddenly she grabbed my hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to go, we still have something to do in a while!" β
"What's the matter?" I looked at her quizzically.
Just as I was puzzled, the dean came over.
"Oh, hello Dean!" When I saw it, I quickly shouted.
"Your name is Zhao Xiaowen?" The dean asked.
"Yes!" I nodded in response.
The dean looked at me and nodded!
"Hello uncle!" Xiao Yun said.
A smile spread across the dean's face.
What the? Hello uncle? I was shocked, how did the dean become Xiao Yun's uncle? No way? Did I hear it wrong?
"Little niece!" The dean glanced at Xiao Yun and said, "I met your father back then, and you were still holding it in your arms, I didn't expect it to be twenty years in a blink of an eye, and now you have grown up!" β
"Uncle, my father often mentions you to me, he asked me to visit you on his behalf this time, all these years, he has always wanted to repay you, but the two places are far apart, and the company is busy, and when he is free, he will definitely come to visit!"
"There's no need to visit, I'm very comfortable as the dean of the University in City A, but I really want to meet him!" The dean sighed and said, "Ten years ago, I assisted your father in founding the Shaw Group, but I was framed halfway, and your father mistakenly believed the rumors and forced me out of the Shaw Group. β
It turns out that there is such a relationship, and the dean is actually one of the founders of the Shaw Group.
"My father has been regretting it lately, and a few years ago he had found out the real traitor! It's a pity that the mistakes he once made can't be made up, as a junior, I will do my best to make up for the mistakes made by my father! β
The dean laughed and said, "Little niece, you have grown up and become sensible, with what you just said, the grievances I have suffered over the years are worth it!" β
The dean suddenly raised his head and blinked his eyes a few times, as if there were tears in his eyes!
"Thank you, uncle, for your forgiveness!" Xiao Yun said.
"Xiao Qianye is really a blessing to have a sensible and shrewd daughter like you!" The dean said in admiration.
"The dean has won the award! I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do, and your daughter Xie Yan is now in the Shaw Group! Xiao Yun said.
What the? Xie Yan is the daughter of the dean? Listening to their conversation, I was extremely surprised in my heart, and I deeply felt that I was a pawn in a game of chess, and I didn't even know what role I played in this game!
"Xie Yan, this girl, had a big quarrel with me a few years ago, and ran to S City in a rage, I also trusted the relationship back then, and found a job for her, but she was stubborn, and said that I should leave her alone, I was also angry at the time, I really didn't care about her, think about her and grow up, I should let her go and break through by herself, I didn't think that in a few years, she actually went to the Shaw Group, it's really providential!" The dean sighed and said, "Does your father know that Xie Yan is my daughter?" β
"I don't know!" Xiao Yun replied very simply.
"Oh? This is not like your father's style, the people who entered the Shaw Group back then, even if they were cleaners, he knew everything clearly, why now? The dean asked.
"Sister Xie Yan was not recruited by my father, she took a roundabout route and recognized Zhu You, vice president of the Shaw Group, as her godfather, and Zhu You asked Sister Xie Yan to be his secretary, so she naturally worked in the Shaw Group, and the vice president recruited a secretary, and my father would not ask!" Xiao Yun said calmly.
"I can't imagine that this kid has taken such a circuitous path?" The dean sighed and said, "Xie Yan's matter, it depends on you to worry more in the future!" β
"Uncle has an explanation, so naturally he doesn't dare to be sloppy!" Xiao Yun responded, "What's more, Sister Xie Yan is now the vice president's secretary and has a lot of power, I'm afraid that no one will be unfavorable to her!" β
"It's hard to say, the ancients said: shopping malls are like battlefields, I can see through this sentence, how can I say that I am also one of the founders of the Shaw Group, but the result? So, don't have a fluke mentality, the more you are in a high position, the more dangerous it is, this point, your father is doing better than me, the industry calls your father an old fox, but it is not in vain! β
"I understand! Thank you uncle for the advice! Xiao Yun said with a smile.
"Old fox is a derogatory term, huh?" I spoke.
The dean gave me a look.
Xiao Yun reached out and pulled the placket of my clothes, signaling me not to speak!
I quickly shut my mouth!
"Some words look bad, but they are actually the highest evaluation, the fox is already very smart, so isn't the old fox even more powerful? Young man, remember my words, ginger is always old and spicy! The dean said, "Little niece, you say, am I right?" β
I reached out and touched my head, thinking to myself that the dean's words were clearly said to me, and secretly to Xiao Yun, right?
"Uncle is pointing!" Xiao Yun smiled shyly.
"Oh, by the way, little niece, I have already thought about the matter of Wen Yunlou you said, so I will do it!" The dean said, "In fact, I have reported to my superiors before, saying that in recent years, the expansion of enrollment, the teaching building is not enough, I hope that the superior can allocate funds to build another teaching building, but the cost of construction is too high, has not been approved, yesterday I also told some leaders about this, the leaders said, if it is really not possible, the introduction of private capital, I did not expect, today you will send charcoal in the snow, but also my good friend's daughter and son-in-law!" β
"Uncle said it was funny, in fact, we also heard about your difficulties, uncle, so we came to help!" Xiao Yun said with a smile.
"You can always keep your uncle in mind, and your uncle didn't live in vain!" The dean said with a smile.
"Uncle, I have contacted my father before, and I think that by now, 200 million yuan has been transferred to your school's account!" Xiao Yun said.
Two hundred million? I gasped in my heart, so much money, it's enough to build another school!
"Good! We will also make good use of this money to build Wenyun Building in the expected way, and after it is built, I will personally call you to come to acceptance, and then you can come over with your face! The dean said with a smile.
"Good! Uncle speaks cheerfully! Xiao Yun said, "We don't take up much of your time, Xiaowen and I still have some things to do!" β
"Good! You are busy people, I will not leave you for lunch, today's dinner, you must come to attend! The dean laughed.
"Come, uncle, goodbye!"
"Dean, goodbye!"
The Dean gestured goodbye to us.
On the way back, my heart was extremely complicated.
"Xiao Yun, listening to your conversation just now, I can hear some mysteries, I thought that you came to City A with me, you really came to play, I didn't expect you to come with me with a heavy burden, to handle so many important affairs!"
"Please forgive me for not telling you beforehand!" Xiao Yun turned to me and said, "I didn't mean to hide from you, what I said to you before was true, and it was also true that you heard my conversation with the dean today!" β
"But?" I wondered.
"I understand what you think, the dean was originally the patriarch of the Shaw Group, one of the founders, but he has now withdrawn, and a powerful role like him may play an important role at a critical moment in the future!"
"So you're here to woo a relationship?" I said in surprise.
"Sort of!" Xiao Yun nodded in response.
"Then why didn't you let me know in advance?"
"I'm afraid that if you don't speak carelessly, let the other party know our intentions in advance, then it will be much more troublesome to do things later!" Xiao Yun looked at me and said.
I thought to myself, I'm really easier to say, and it's better not to know.
"Xiao Yun, you did the right thing!" I smiled and said, "If you tell me in advance, I'm afraid that I will really leak my mouth, and at that time, I will have a big bad thing, and I am afraid that I will regret it even more than Fang Yi!" β
Xiao Yun took my hand and said, "It's not too late to tell you the truth!" β
"Oh? What is the truth? β
"Remember saving the mermaid last night?"
"Of course I remember, I will never forget!"
Xiao Yun smiled.
"Do you know why the Great Lake is so close to your school?"
"Why?" I have a vague feeling that something is wrong.
"According to my brother's investigation, it is very likely that this manta fish beast is in charge of the dean's management!"
"What? You're saying that this giant manta fish beast was raised by the dean? β
"No, he didn't raise it, he was just in charge of management, my brother guessed that he should be blackmailed by a mysterious organization, and manage this manta fish beast for them, in the current popular words, it is called providing technical services!"
"Oh-I see!"
"My brother said that to rescue the red-tailed mermaid, first, we need to study the genetic modification method of the mermaid and formulate specific countermeasures, and secondly, it is also to give the mysterious organization a disadvantage!"
"But we know this, why botherβ"
"Knowing that he is a bad person, he may not immediately tear his face, the small fish is caught, and the big fish may run away, not to mention, these are just my brother's speculations, and there is no real evidence! So, we can only stop, not arrest! β
With you, I feel like my IQ has increased a lot!
Xiao Yun smiled.
"Let's go! Let's go back and see how the mermaid is doing? β
"That's right! It's been so long, and I don't know what happened to her! β
Xiao Yun and I hurriedly rushed to the hotel, and when we entered, we found that the room was empty.
"Huh? What about mermaids? β
I hurriedly ran into the bathroom! Ah! The mermaid has revealed her true form and is releasing water to rinse her tail.
"You're back!" Mermaid said.
"When did you show up for yourself?" Xiao Yun asked after coming in.
"About an hour ago!" The mermaid recalled.
"This medicine lasts about twelve hours, mermaid, and I ask you, what does it feel like when you transform into a real body?" Xiao Yun asked.
"My legs are very itchy, and I quickly grow fish tails!"
"Good! I understand! Xiao Yun turned around and took out a red pill from her backpack and stuffed it into the mermaid's mouth, only for a while, the mermaid's red tail gradually faded into two white legs, not to see it with your own eyes, you can never imagine its magic!
"Put your clothes on!" Xiao Yun handed the clothes to the mermaid.
"Sister Xiao Yun, in this way, I have to maintain my human form, and I have to take medicine every twelve hours!"
Xiao Yun nodded, "It depends on the situation, it's like this!" β
"Isn't it troublesome to take medicine twice a day? Is there no cure for it? I asked.
"Not yet, my brother said that if you want to cure it, you must find the sequence of genetic modification, otherwise the medicine can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause!"
"Looks like we have a lot more to do! By the way, Xiao Yun, what should I do with the manta fish beasts in the big lake? Leave it alone? β
"We are not their opponents in our ability, and if we attack rashly, we will inevitably make unnecessary sacrifices, and there is no need! Let them go, the bad guys' plot will not succeed! Xiao Yun said.
"Sister Xiao Yun, I'm dressed, I feel so hungry!"
Xiao Yun looked at me and said with a smile: "The mermaid said that she was hungry, what do you say?" β
"Oh~ That's it! I'm in for a treat at noon today! β
"Great!" The mermaid clapped her hands and smiled, "Brother Xiaowen, I want to go and eat rice bowls!" β
"Donburi rice? Why? I was surprised.
"Before I was transformed into a mermaid, my favorite meal was rice bowls!"
"Xiao Yun, what about your opinion?" I asked.
"Since the mermaid wants to eat it, I have no objection, so let's go eat the rice bowl!"
The three of us came to the street, and when I was in college, I actually ate rice bowls at a restaurant a few times, and I came to this restaurant after walking for a while!
