Chapter 424: Farewell to Youth (5)
The indulgent life of graduates continues until the end of May, and the graduation certificate and degree certificate are issued, and those who find a permanent job also have a dispatch certificate, similar to a registration card.
Take these documents to leave the school, integrate into the society, and embark on a new life, by the fountain pool in front of the main teaching building of Ning University, five people in the 301 dormitory wore bachelor's uniforms and took a group photo with their classmates.
"Eggplant"
Han Lei took advantage of the moment the photographer pressed the shutter to raise his scissor hand very high, extremely obscene, the people around him burst into laughter, and the others in 301 laughed along.
Many years later, in the honor exhibition room of Ningbo University, this yellowed old photo is still hung in the most conspicuous position for people to visit, inspiring countless students to work hard and struggle.
Yang Chen did not complete his graduation thesis, missed the graduation defense, and still graduated successfully, thanks to his special identity and Lianzhi Group's donations of more than 10 million yuan to Ningbo University.
The evening party for the graduates was held as scheduled.
Yang Chen was elected as the representative of the graduates, and he took the stage to speak, the auditorium was full, and countless eyes gathered on the majestic and free posture on the stage.
The legend of Ningda.
At the beginning of the year, Lianzhi was successfully listed on the NASDAQ, covering this man with a more dazzling halo.
The outside world has reported on Jiang Yao, the young head of Lianzhi, and advertised him as a post-85 entrepreneurial leader and an outstanding young man in the business world, but the people present know that the real founder of Lianzhi is the inconspicuous majestic man on the stage.
Yang Chen calmly faced countless eyes, gave a ten-minute impromptu speech, won bursts of applause, and when he turned around and wanted to walk off the stage, someone in the audience shouted: "Sing one!" ”
"Yang Chen, come one!"
"Yang Chen, come one!"
"Yang Chen, come one!"
The temporary shouts of a few people resonated, and the auditorium was full, and the voices were higher and higher, Yang Chen smiled, and reluctantly returned to the middle of the stage, and after thinking about it, he said generously: "Then I will be ugly, and sing Andy Lau's old song for everyone, today." ”
The audience applauded thunderously, and Yang Chen, who was surging in his heart, bowed sincerely, until the music echoed, he slowly straightened his waist and began to sing with emotion.
Life begins reluctantly, and it always ends life.
Who hasn't been hurt, who hasn't shed tears.
Why hide in the darkness and suffer and pity yourself.
I keep being disappointed, and I keep hoping.
Taste the bitterness yourself, laugh and share it with you.
Now standing on the stage, it is inevitable to panic.
If you want to fly high, you should forget about the horizon.
I've been waiting for a long time, and I've finally waited for today, and I've finally made my dream come true.
People listen quietly and can hear the vicissitudes of hardship and hardship in the song, and many people have mixed feelings, and it is difficult for them to remember the past or look forward to the future.
The singing stopped abruptly, the music dissipated, the auditorium was silent for two or three seconds, and suddenly thunderous applause broke out, Yang Chen bowed again, smiled and waved, and walked off the stage.
Four years of keeping a low profile.
Before graduation, Yang Chen bid farewell to this time in the most gorgeous way.
"Yang Chen, I love you!" Some girls shouted vigorously, only a few people laughed, and more and more people shouted like this when Yang Chen walked off the stage.
It's not a for a girl who shouts, a boy is full of affection.
Among them, many people have won scholarships and grants for poor students provided by Lianzhi Group, and many people regard Yang Chen as a benefactor and idol.
Yang Chen walked off the stage and returned to his seat, his eyes moistened.
At the end of the party, counting Zhang Zhiqiang, the six people in the 301 dormitory sold back two cases of beer and side dishes with wine, not to drown their sorrows with wine, but to remember this lost youth.
"Cheers to the son of a bitch!" The six people held the cans high, and their heroic faces were not sad or lost, and they were convinced that their future life would be more exciting.
Six people drank until late at night.
Only Yang Chen, who was basically not drunk after drinking beer, stayed awake, he put a few people who were drunk into bed, lit a cigarette, and sat alone in the dormitory where snoring one after another, thinking back to the bits and pieces of the road for so many years, he smiled and laughed, and burst into tears.
………………………
After the school issued the certificates, some students moved out of the dormitory one after another, for their dreams, for life, and went their separate ways, and Yang Chen sent away a few familiar classmates in the past two days.
In front of the dormitory, there are taxis waiting again.
Several boys helped the brother who was leaving, stuffed large bags and small bags into the back seat and trunk of the car, and then hugged each other, blessed each other, and said goodbye with tears.
By the window of the 301 dormitory, Yang Chen sighed lightly, wrung out the cigarette butt, turned around and walked out of the dormitory, wandering in the corridor, this floor is almost all senior graduates, and now most of them are gone, and a small part is left, either waiting for the unit's registration notice, or continuing to find a job.
Yang Chen entered the 302 dormitory next door, the people in this dormitory are more familiar with the people in 301, there are only two people left at this time, the two buddies are wearing slippers, pants, vests, staring intently at the computer, clicking on various recruitment websites and even 58.com and Ganji.com, and quickly sending electronic resumes.
"Didn't you come looking for a job?" Yang Chen asked in surprise.
"We broke the contract, the company in Shanghai, the monthly salary is three thousand five, Brother Chen, what do you say is enough, we have studied in a key university for four years, and we can't just abuse ourselves." A buddy has a good idea.
Yang Chen smiled and asked, "How much money do you want to make in a month?" ”
This buddy said without hesitation: "Not counting welfare bonuses, how can you get a monthly salary of 5,000 to 10,000, this society is still very short of talents." ”
"Oh, then you two keep up the good work, and I wish you all the best if you find the job you like as soon as possible." Yang Chen patted this buddy on the shoulder, left the 302 dormitory, shook his head and chuckled, this society does lack talents, but there is no shortage of undergraduates, master's students, and doctoral students.
A few days later, the six people in dormitory 301 were also ready to move out and rent a villa in the family area of higher education, which was the "professor building" rented by Nalan Tongtong and Shen Yue before.
Jiang Yao and Han Lei discussed it, and continued to live together before starting a family, which was lively and convenient, and on the day they moved out of the dormitory, Yang Chen was not there, and went to the northern suburbs cemetery alone.
The verdant cemetery of pines and cypresses is particularly secluded.
Yang Chen held a bouquet of fresh lilies, walked to Li Nan's tomb, slowly squatted down, placed the lilies in front of the marble tombstone, and stared at the black and white photo at the top of the tombstone.
"Li Nan, I've graduated." After Yang Chen finished saying this, he didn't know what to say, he returned to China and insisted on studying in college, first, he wanted to realize his dream, and second, he was influenced by Li Nan.
Now, time has passed, things are wrong, and the girl who inspired him to continue to work hard and strive to return to China alive to realize his dream is forever sleeping here, and his heart is very uncomfortable.
He said faintly: "Your mother and your brother are very good, don't worry, I will take care of them." ”
