After getting the work of the soundtrack, and leaving enough room for Kim Gyu-hyun to develop, Lee Jun-hyuk now has two things to do before going abroad.

First of all, he has to apply to the school for early graduation, originally as an exchange student, his graduation application should be handled by returning to Columbia University, but because the graduation application of Columbia University must first get a transcript from Seoul National University, and then he can return to Columbia University to handle this matter. Therefore, Lee Jun-hyuk needs to get all the credits required by Seoul National University before he can return to Columbia University to apply for graduation.

For Lee Jun-hyuk, a strange student who has not met in a century, in fact, Seoul National University has no way to deal with him, first, he is a student used by Columbia University as an exchange student, although he nominally goes to school here, but in fact he still belongs to Columbia University.

Second, Li Junhe himself applied for distance education, and his results in every exam and essay were very good, except for the end of last year, because he failed to catch up with the regular exam and took a make-up exam, all of Li Junhyuk's grades were almost excellent. This also makes Seoul National University helpless against this good student who does not appear in school several times a year.

Therefore, for Lee Jun-hyuk's application for early graduation this time, Seoul National University decided to set up a single-person final exam for him after communicating with Lee Jun-hyuk's tutor at Columbia University, as long as these exams are all passed, then Lee Jun-hyuk's credits will be all in hand, and as long as his graduation thesis is officially passed, he will be considered to have graduated from Seoul National University.

For Lee Jun-hyuk, exams have always been very simple. It took three days. Lee Jun-hyuk got all the credits he needed in his junior and senior years. Then another week was used. Wrote a 120,000-word paper.

Originally, Lee Jun-hyuk thought that this matter of his studies could be over here, but what they thought of was that only three days later, he received a rejection of his thesis from Seoul National University.

The rejection of the thesis is not like a normal graduation thesis, but the teacher helps the student to understand the Tao and revise the content. This rejection can be said to be a direct rejection of Lee Jun-hyuk's thesis, allowing him to start with a new proposition and then write it from scratch. For a graduate, this is quite a blow.

However, along with this notice, there is another notice. The content of the notice is very simple, it is an appointment with Jung Yunchan, the president of Seoul National University.

To be honest, after three years of studying at Seoul National University, Lee Jun-hyuk never even met the president once, when he came to Seoul. It's already April, that time. The orientation activities for the new students have ended, so after following the instructor to go through the admission procedures, Lee Jun-hyuk began his long life of leaving school to study.

It's funny to say that in the first year of school, Lee Jun-hyuk actually went to study once or twice a week, but the purpose of his visit was to learn music-related content, and as for his main business of economics, he never attended a single class at all.

So until now, he hadn't even met his mentor.

Walking to the principal's office, Lee Jun Hyuk knocked on the door, and after hearing the sound of "please come in", Lee Jun Hyuk pushed open the door and walked in.

Jung Yuncan, the current president of Seoul National University, is a very elegant person, with meticulously combed hair and a pair of rimless eyes, sitting there straight, exuding an elegant temperament all the time.

"Hello, Headmaster." Walking into the principal's office, Lee Jun Hyuk looked at the principal he had never seen before, and said politely.

"You're Lee Jun-hyuk, please take a seat." Seeing that Li Junhyuk was very polite but very natural, Zheng Yuncan nodded slightly and said.

"Xie Lu Xie, I don't know what happened to Principal Lu Dao when you notified me to come here." Following Jung Yuncan's instructions, Lee Jun Hyuk sat across from the principal's desk and asked.

"I'm sure you guessed it, it's a thesis thing." While speaking, Zheng Yuncan took out a document from the file on his right, and when Li Junhe saw the title, it was the graduation thesis he wrote.

"Lee Jun Hyuk, you have become a legendary figure among us school leaders. I haven't taken a single course in economics, but you get full credits at the end of every semester, whether it's an exam or an essay, you're always about the best one, and I've seen such a student for the first time in so many years. That's why we choose to turn a blind eye to what you do when you can't do anything about it. Seeing that Li Junhe on the other side listened to his words informally, Zheng Yuncan said with a smile.

"Well, the principal has won the prize." Hearing Zheng Yuncan's words, Li Junhyuk could only say it as a compliment.

"This time, you applied for early graduation, and after research, we also decided to give you full convenience, after all, we feel that you already have the ability to cope with graduation. That's why we've prepared you for this early graduation exam. Seeing Lee Jun-hyuk listening carefully, Jung Yun-chan continued.

"I see, that's so thankful." Hearing Zheng Yuncan's words, Li Junhe suddenly realized that he had already prepared to reject his application, but this time the school passed his graduation application very happily. Now it seems that it should be the elegant old man sitting in front of him who has played a big role. So, Lee Jun Hyuk said gratefully.

"I've read your paper this time. To be honest, even the professors of economics at the school, I don't think they have the confidence to write such a high-quality paper. Arguably, this is the best paper I have ever written since I became the principal of this school. Speaking of this, Zheng Yuncan handed the paper in his hand to Li Junhyuk and continued.

"However, after all the professors studied the paper, we unanimously decided to reject it. Even if it's your next thesis, it's on the same level as most graduates. Saying this, Zheng Yuncan smiled slightly. He said as if he was comforting.

"Headmaster, can I know the reason?" Although Lee Jun Hyuk knew about the school's decision before he came, Lee Jun Hyuk was still very curious about the reason for this decision.

"First of all, your paper is about what is going to happen, but in reality, it's not certain whether it will actually happen." Hearing Li Junhe's request, Zheng Yuncan was not surprised, in his opinion, it is normal for Li Junhe to have this request, after all, a 120,000-word essay is almost enough to publish a book.

"Headmaster, every one of my arguments is based on actual evidence, and although on the whole, it does tell you that it is about something that has not yet happened, but in the content, I have used very conclusive evidence to prove the possibility of this thing happening, and I can't completely dismiss my thesis because of such a small thing." Hearing this, Li Junhyuk, who had always been very calm, became a little excited. After all, this paper can be said to be the brainchild of his. Moreover, his decision to go to the United States at this time also has a lot to do with the content of this paper.

We all know this, but facts are facts, although you have enough arguments and evidence, but the use of these in the paper does not mean that your arguments will really be like that. And, in addition to this, there is a more important factor. Seeing Li Junhyuk's anxious look, Zheng Yuncan said unhurriedly.

"What else is going on?" Hearing this, Lee Jun-hyuk calmed down a little.

"For South Korea, the content of your paper is too sensitive. You must know that for South Korea, the economic crisis has become the source of fear for all the people, and the economic crisis in '98 has been almost forgotten by the people until the last two years, and if your paper is published in the newspaper, it may cause panic among the people again. At that time, it will be a blow to both you and the honor of Seoul National University as a whole. Pushing his glasses, Zheng Yuncan said.

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Hearing Zheng Yuncan's words, Li Junhyuk thought about it for a while, and he didn't know where the sensitive issue appeared in his paper.

"You grew up in Europe, and it's normal that you're not familiar with the situation in South Korea, but in fact, from an economic point of view, South Korea's economy is very fragile right now, and if what you hypothesized in your paper becomes a reality, it will undoubtedly be another blow to the South Korean economy, which has just recovered. Under this blow and despair, many people will once again embark on the path of self-destruction. Therefore, even if there is a real economic crisis, then this matter will not be known to the public until it has happened, so your paper cannot be published in any media or newspaper. I say that, you get the idea. Looking at Li Junhyuk's puzzled look, Zheng Yuncan explained.

"I see, headmaster, you mean that this paper of mine has the potential to stimulate the source of fear among the people, right?" Hearing this, Li Junhe suddenly said.

"Yes, in my personal opinion, your paper is really impeccable, but as the president of Seoul National University, in addition to the management of students, I must be responsible for the people of South Korea, so I have to stop your paper." (To be continued......)
