Tang Mingyao's graduate student quota came down, silently, and was announced in the list of graduate students in the Department of Psychology along with the names of other students.

Tang Mingyao didn't know what the operation was, but he knew that Professor Yu must have helped him say something, so he came to the door with a gift to thank him, but he was criticized.

In this matter, I had an exchange with Luo Wenxi before, and at this time, the debate between the two about going abroad or going to graduate school was put down.

After all, with the 100% safe choice of Baoyan, in Luo Wenxi's simple thinking, studying abroad is not necessary - no matter how big the grasp is, there is always the possibility of failure, right? And deep down, she always wants her boyfriend to stay.

Compared with high school, the schoolwork in the Academy of Fine Arts has become much easier.

After the start of school, Luo Wenxi had relatively ample time, in addition to drawing comics and submitting manuscripts regularly, she began to toss new things in her free time.

First of all, Huang Zhong's part-time job is no longer suitable for part-time - because the distance is too far - Luo Wenxi quit this "job", and after a long talk with Tang Mingyao, he showed a little "ambition".

She wants to do her own costume design!

To put it in layman's terms, she doesn't want to do it for others, but wants to have her own clothing brand.

Tang Mingyao fully supported this, discussed the details with her, and took out the manuscript fee for the new book to support her, and first set up a store in the capital to serve as a display window for the brand in the future.

The trivial matters of preparation are no longer detailed one by one, and at the end of the year, a new store will be opened, and the name of the store is the brand name "Amateur" that Tang Mingyao gave her.

On the opening day, the two tried to keep a low profile as much as possible, and only the closest people were present, adding up to about twenty.

At the same time, the online store was also opened together, and the design invited Yang Jing to help, and Tang Mingyao was responsible for the ideas and checks, so the overall style of the online store was more than ten years ahead of the popular style of the primitive era in this era.

In less than a month after opening, there have been good sales both online and offline.

This made Luo Wenxi excited, because this is a natural sales without any publicity, which shows that she is indeed talented in this area.

It's just that the subsequent development exceeded the expectations of the two.

In the age of the Internet, there is no impermeable wall in the world. I don't know which fan went shopping to their store and happened to meet Luo Wenxi who was patrolling the store, so when she left, the fan went to talk to the clerk to find out the situation, and then returned to the Internet and excitedly shared the incident.

As a result, the small brand of "amateur", which could only be regarded as a good start but not "hot", spread to everyone on the Internet overnight.

The online store was sold out on the same day, and the offline physical store was also blocked by the influx of fans the next day, and the clothes inside were sold out, leaving an empty storefront for several clerks to look at each other.

They urgently called the boss to transfer the goods, and the reply was: no goods!

There is no way, the production is entrusted to a third party, and the scheduled production volume is so much, and for a while, where can the goods be replenished so quickly.

So a large number of fans go to block the door every day when they have nothing to do, and as soon as the goods arrive, they will be sold out immediately.

This made Luo Wenxi's store appear a strange scene - that is, it was out of stock every day, but the popularity was too high.

Through this **, she realized a truth for the first time: when fans are converted into loyal consumers, the economic benefits are terrifying.

Tang Mingyao is more sober, and at this juncture, he reminded his girlfriend to keep her original intention, not to relax the control of quality because of sales, even if she is out of stock every day, she can't destroy her reputation because of rush.

There is another sentence he did not say, this kind of unintentional "hunger marketing" may instead inspire consumers to have greater consumption expectations for products.

In this way, in a few months, amateur stores have become star stores, both online and offline.

The process was uneventful, and the process was exceptionally smooth.

Tang Mingyao didn't pay too much attention, but was busy graduating. Because of the guidance of a master behind his thesis, there is naturally no problem, and not only that, but he also put forward some new ideas in the paper.

For example, in the section on the impact of death anxiety on people, he wrote about a new discovery:

Because of the fear of death, some people will unconsciously create a virtual image of "death" in their minds, which is the embodiment of the concept of death. In order to survive, people are like feudal superstitions, and will make "sacrifices" without realizing it, and the "sacrifices" may be feelings, marriages, relationships with parents, and even their own vitality, etc., in order to seek a temporary "livelihood".

However, this kind of behavior, objectively speaking, is actually a kind of drinking to quench thirst - the more sacrificed, the more unsatisfactory life is, and the closer the sacrifice is to "death".

This point of view was strongly appreciated by Senior Sister He Ning and Professor Yu.

Professor Yu added: "This finding is very significant. This graduation thesis will be changed, and I will help you submit it to a professional journal, which will definitely cause a shock in the domestic psychology community! Foreign magazines can also vote for ......"

Tang Mingyao is as good as a stream, and revises and submits manuscripts according to teachers and professors.

By the time the manuscript was published in an authoritative journal, it was already June 2005, and he walked into the defense classroom with his graduation thesis, waiting for the thesis defense with a group of classmates.

Unlike other students who were nervous about going on stage and being asked by the defense teacher from time to time, as soon as Tang Mingyao came on stage, several teachers flipped through the papers in their hands, asked a few questions symbolically, and let him go.

What else is this asked, it has been published in an authoritative journal of psychology, and it has been commented by more than one psychology authority, and everyone knows in their hearts that the defense will not be difficult for him at all.

At the end of June, Tang Mingyao wore a bachelor's gown and took a photo of himself graduating from college with his camera.

This time is three years earlier than in the previous life.

However, Tang Mingyao's time saved in this was far more than three years - according to the development of his previous life, he had achieved nothing in his thirty years, and there was almost no hope of reaching the height of this life.

And although this life is far from being called a legendary life, this is his down-to-earth step by step, and he feels very down-to-earth in his heart.

During the summer vacation, Tang Mingyao began to write a new book "Chinese Girl".

After a summer vacation was completed, after Fu Zi, he also started a new life journey - he had never been admitted to graduate school in his previous life, so this was the first time he had come into contact with the life of a graduate student.

In fact, it is not complicated, Professor Yu treats him as a junior like a nephew and takes good care of him, so there is not much difference in life except for studying and having more scientific research projects.

To his surprise, not long after the start of school, he suddenly received a notice from Professor Yu:

"The school has an exchange program with Stanford University on the other side of the ocean, and there is a place in the graduate school of the Department of Psychology. What's your opinion? If you don't have any opinions, get ready and report to the school next month. ”

Tang Mingyao's mind was full of black question marks.

What's the situation? Obviously, I was sent to graduate school, why didn't I get around the matter of studying abroad in the end?
