In the summer of 2002, Hangzhou was as hot as usual.

I know that the willow tree by the Huajia Pond of Dongfang University keeps barking, which is particularly annoying.

It's another season of parting on campus, and the sadness of parting echoes over the campus with the graduation song on the radio.

Students on summer vacation are smiling as they pack their bags and go home, or travel in groups of three or five. Only graduates are confused and reluctant at this moment.

Looking back, four years have passed. It seems that the moment of entering college has just been staged, so why is it time to leave?

There are regrets, regrets for wasting time, and leaving the pride and ambition of the year far behind.

There is confusion, and I don't know what kind of life awaits me.

There is excitement, and I will finally create my own life with my own hands, and I don't have to ask my parents for money anymore, everything is full of novelty and unknown.

......

Graduation really means a lot, but for Li Peicheng, graduation just means being separated from his classmates who have been together for four years.

He doesn't need to regret it, because in the four years of college, he has been studying hard all the time, with first-class scholarships every year and three good students every year.

He doesn't need to be confused, because he still has to continue the life of a student, which is nothing more than the life of an undergraduate, but a graduate student.

He was not excited, although his life as a graduate student had not yet begun, but at the beginning of the summer vacation of his freshman year, he took the initiative to ask his teacher to allow him to be a research assistant, so he was no stranger to his future life.

Li Peicheng likes school life, plain and fulfilling, simple and regular, full of youth and laughter, and full of the smell of books.

There is a three-storey modern building next to Huajia Pond, which is the school's library. A student who was about 1.75 meters tall, with a sturdy body, a straight nose, a broad forehead, and a fairly middle-class appearance, sat at a table by the window. He had a thick book on his chest, but his gaze wandered a little, and he looked up out the window from time to time.

It was difficult for Li Peicheng to calm down and read today, because it was just noon, and the last classmate in the dormitory also left the school.

"Bless you, my dear classmates!" Li Peicheng silently blessed in his heart.

"Director Sun, what kind of wind blew you!"

Professor He greeted a middle-aged man with a smile on his face, who was Sun Xinpin, director of the Garden Bureau of Hangzhou's Xihu District.

Professor He is a middle-aged man who looks like a scholar, he is Li Peicheng's supervisor, the subject leader of the Department of Resource Science, a returned professor in the United States, and a doctoral supervisor. He and Mr. Sun were university classmates.

"I'm a big official, how can I be worthy of your Professor He Da called that!" Director Sun shook his head self-deprecatingly.

"In the past few years, all the money we have been engaged in academic research is in the hands of you officials, and if you don't pat yourself on the back, I'm afraid that there will be nowhere to find the money for this year's scientific research projects!" Professor He personally poured a cup of tea for Director Sun, and said half-jokingly.

Professor He's remark Director Sun agrees that in recent years, learning has also begun to be linked to the economy, and I don't know a few officials and big money, and it is really difficult to make money for scientific research projects. Although he Sun Xinpin is only a small director of the District Garden Bureau, the Garden Bureau has sufficient funds in these years, especially since Hangzhou is a tourist city, and this fund is not a small amount. It is really not impossible to squeeze out some money to cooperate with domestic first-class universities and first-class professors in some scientific research projects, engage in some gimmicks, and make some political achievements.

"Our bureau really has some scientific research budget every year, as long as you Professor He University does not dislike the lack of money and our topic is small, I am happy to draw this line with you and touch your professor's light. Director Sun took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

Professor He smiled: "That's good, it seems that the God of Wealth is here today." This is feasible, when I ask my students to discuss with the people in your bureau and set up a project. ”

"Yes, but then the project leader had better write your name, so that my face will also shine, maybe I can use your name to get some money and prizes in the provincial bureau." Director Sun said.

Professor He smiled and said, "You are still as shrewd as you were back then!"

"If you're not shrewd, don't look at me as a small official, there are a lot of people staring at the seats under my buttocks! Director Sun said.

"Haha, look, here we go again!, old classmate, what's the matter with me today?" Professor He smiled, and then asked seriously.

"It's not for my baby girl!" said Director Sun, with a worried face.

"Xuanxuan, you say?" Professor He asked in surprise.

Director Sun nodded, "Who else is she not?"

"Oh, by the way, she should have taken the high school entrance exam this year, how did she do in the exam?" asked Professor He.

Because both of them are in Hangzhou, although they are busy with work and don't get together much, they still have some contacts, so Professor He still has some understanding of Sun Xiaoxuan's situation.

"Alas, this little girl, her grades have been very good in the first and second years of junior high school, but since the third year of junior high school, she has been going downhill and has not done well in the exam. Director Sun sighed and said.

"Oh, do you need me to help implement the school?" Professor He knows many people in the education circle, as long as Sun Xiaoxuan's grades are not too bad, it is still possible to implement a key high school.

Professor He's words moved Director Sun slightly. I have been in officialdom for a long time, either you calculate me, or I calculate you, which one will really do things for you, and only the friendship between classmates will never change with the passage of time, it is still so deep and simple.

"The old classmate has a heart, don't bother you with this, I have already helped her implement Xuejun Middle School. Director Sun said gratefully.

Xuejun Middle School is one of the top key high schools in Hangzhou.

"So, what else is there to help me with?" Professor He asked.

"Alas, Lao He, you also know that Xia Han and I are very busy, not to mention during the day, even at night and on weekends, sometimes we can't spare time. It's summer vacation, this girl is crazy, and we can't manage her at home. She has a bad foundation and goes to a key high school, so I'm afraid she won't be able to keep up and lose her self-confidence. I'm good at this high school, but I don't have the ability to do it in college, so I want to help her find a tutor. There have been too many tutors these years, and the good and the bad are mixed. I've asked a few before, but none of them are suitable. Think about it, I'm still here to trouble you, you're a teacher, and there are many students, let's see if you can help me find one, help me take care of this girl, and by the way, help her make up for the class in advance. Director Sun said with some embarrassment.

For such a big thing, asking a famous professor to help, it is indeed a bit of a knife to kill chickens, but for the sake of his baby daughter, Director Sun had to be cheeky, fortunately, they are all old classmates, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

"One is an official, the other is a doctor, and I really don't have time to take care of children. I've got a good student here. His family was poor, so he worked as a tutor when he was an undergraduate, earning money to support his own education. This year, he was escorted to graduate school by the college, and he was still a direct student for a master's degree and a doctorate, so I specially asked him to come. It's just a boy, but his character and knowledge are absolutely excellent, and he does things steadily and reliably. Professor He said.

Director Sun was very surprised when he heard this, as an old classmate, he knew that Professor He was meticulous and rigorous in doing things, and it was rare for him to be so valued and praised by him.

"It's okay with boys, my girl is very wild now, and only boys can hold it down! Besides, the person who can be praised by you like this is definitely a talent. Director Sun said.

Professor He nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Do you want me to call him over to meet you now?" By the way, the two of you can have a chat and see if it's suitable?"

Of course, Director Sun trusted Professor He's vision, but Professor He's appreciation of the student made Director Sun very curious, so he agreed to Professor He's proposal.
