: No more youth
The next morning, when the Jin family and his son arrived at the school, many people had already entered the auditorium. A comprehensive university like Beijing Normal University has not only many subjects, but also very diverse.
Students and parents are mixed together, and there are quite a few people joining in the fun, so it is basically impossible for all teachers and students in the school to participate together, and it is not possible to even be held on campus. Instead, they are based on colleges and start one by one.
Even so, it seems very crowded.
"It seems that there are more people this year than three years ago."
Jin Shi and Jin Shang found a side by side to sit down, and then complained with emotion. Jin Shi responded naturally:
"Universities are expanding their enrollment, and the admission rate is slightly higher than before. Don't look at the number of people, this is the result of a small number of people leaving school early and not participating."
The society's desire for high-quality college students is extremely exaggerated. Some students were recruited by employers in a hurry to get their graduation certificates just after graduation.
As long as it does not affect graduation, it doesn’t matter whether you attend the graduation ceremony or not. Of course, everyone still attaches great importance to this ceremony. After all, from now on, we will leave the "ivory tower" and enter society and become a steadfast adult.
The process of the graduation ceremony has been the same for so many years. The host announced the start, the dean spoke, the guest wishes, and the graduate representatives delivered speeches. Finally, the students took turns to come to the stage to collect their graduation certificates and took a photo with the dean.
The last item that takes the longest time and the most troublesome is the last item.
Jin Shang didn't think this year's graduation ceremony was different from three years ago. His role was just to change from an outstanding undergraduate graduate to an outstanding master's graduate.
"The old lady originally said she wanted to come back to see it, but it seemed that she was delayed because of trivial matters."
"Well! She is a god. If you don't force her, you can live a happy life."
The old lady Jin Shi mentioned was Jin Shang's grandmother Xian Guizhen. She had lived a transparent life many years ago, and there was no need to worry about the Jin family's father and son.
After sitting down, the time was almost over, and the number of people in the auditorium increased rapidly, and it seemed that they all suddenly appeared. Jin Shang even saw small vendors selling melon seed drinks.
Jin Shang couldn't help but curl his lips:
"I'm tired every year, so I'm just looking forward to taking photos with memorials."
The students may feel a little fresh. The college leaders who come every year may have lost their passion.
Of course, at least it is quite lively on the surface. The School of Architecture and Urban Planning says it is not big or small.
The graduation ceremony began soon amid the gaze and applause of students, parents and tourists below.
As usual, after a brief opening remark, the dean took the stage, expressed his comments and expressed his blessings.
Next, several well-known alumni and special guests appeared and gave them encouragement. They were basically college students trained by our college in the early years, and are now considered successful people, with money, power, fame and influence all taking up a little bit.
"Will you talk on the stage like them in the future as a successful senior? "
"Me? This kind of scene is too small. The 'return to the hometown in glory' in my imagination is the anniversary of the school anniversary. Banners are placed at the school gate, hydrogen balloons are placed, and 'warm welcome to our outstanding alumni Jin Shangrong to return to his alma mater'. The school leaders shook hands and welcomed..."
Before he finished speaking, a "puff" sound suddenly sounded behind him, and a more abrupt statement came:
"This guy has to be divided into places for bragging. This is the graduation ceremony, so be serious."
The authentic Beijing accent was almost overflowing.
Jin Shang was not angry about being offended, but turned around calmly:
"Old man, it's all this time. If you don't say a few words, are you still a man from the capital?"
The back row suddenly interrupted, but it was not as good as an old man. It looked like he was about the same age as Kim Sō.
"Oh, you are also a native of the country. As expected, the bragging style is unique. The outsiders really don't have this lewd taste..."
He looked like a middle-aged man who looked like an uncle and was called an old man. He had a slightly fat cheek, a medium figure, and was wearing a thin sweatshirt, and was like a style that he went to the street to watch people playing chess.
"Look at my face is so tender and I have a bright future. Who knows if it will happen?"
"I'm crazy about it, it's not dark yet? Let me tell you, hundreds or thousands of graduates every year, and there are not many who can make a splash in the future. They are all a screw in society. Do you understand the screw?"
Shrugged, Jin Shang responded casually:
"People always have to have some dreams. If they come true, wouldn't bragging be even more exciting?"
"Dreams? They are all day dreaming. My family lives nearby and come to join in the fun almost every year. Do you want to look at the stage?"
The old man pointed at the outstanding undergraduate graduate who was speaking on the stage.
"It would be great if you could stand there and say a few words."
"Then you definitely didn't come three years ago."
"Three years ago?"
The man who was in memory thought about it and then suddenly realized it.
"Indeed, the stock market fell so badly that day. I was in a hurry to go to the securities department, so I didn't come. It's strange. How did you know that I didn't come that day? We don't know..."
“I was there three years ago!”
"Hey? No! Judging from your sophomore appearance at most, I thought you were a freshman."
"Have you ever seen my old-fashioned freshman?"
"It's indeed the first time I've seen such an 'old and arrogant'..."
Just as Jin Shang and the backseat who didn't know the name were talking nonsense, Jin Shi touched Xiao Jin with his elbow.
"You're almost here, prepare for it, don't be embarrassed, I'll take you some good photos."
"Oh, so fast?"
The "New Year's Junior" on the stage finished reading the speech without any emotion, and asked the students below if they had any questions.
The result was very embarrassing, and no one seemed to listen.
The so-called outstanding graduates are actually just that.
Three years ago, Jin Shang knew this fact.
From students to colleges, and even the entire school, there are basically no one who is particularly concerned about.
Such as Jin Shang, the so-called "genius" who once appeared in newspapers is no exception.
The only thing that can really make waves are the gimmicks of school beauties and school grasses, as well as all kinds of real and fake weird things and strange stories.
Apart from studying, there are not many college life that are truly worthy of being a big book.
After people grow up, they only remember that relatively relaxed time, rather than how profound the real understanding of the specific people and things.
Some of them waited for half a minute without any interaction. The "Nian Shang Junior" stepped down from the stage a little uncomfortable.
Jin Shang sorted out his clothes, stepped onto the stage with steady steps, walked to the rostrum, and began his graduation speech.
Because it is not the first time and I have had experience, it seems that I perform much better than the "young junior" just now.
Originally, Jin Shang wanted to change the speech from three years ago and fooled it. Finally, he rewritten a version and wrote it down and recited it out of the manuscript.
The occasional camera sound and dazzling flash lights seem to have no effect on Jin Shang's performance at all.
Nearly five minutes later, the ups and downs of the speech ended, and sparse applause rang out from the audience.
"Everyone... have anything to ask?"
Jin Shang, who was mentally prepared, had already planned to ask again and end the stepping down quickly. Don’t delay the arrangements later. At this moment, a slightly frivolous joke suddenly sounded in the front row of the audience:
"Jin Shang's senior, you graduated from the institute at the age of 18 and still have the energy to play on campus bands. It's so amazing. How can we be as good as you?"
The words are good words, but they deliberately increase the word "senior" and the sarcastic emphasis, which is obviously mocking Kim Sang Aixiu. In fact, it doesn't look amazing. The sour smell of a frustrated person who is being compared is so far away, Kim Sang can smell it.
Jin Shang has seen such jokes many times. Young and energetic students are not enough to describe them. In the most proud field, the frustration of losing to the "little brat" is really too strong.
Without even taking a look at the questioner's appearance, Jin Shang curled his lips and replied with a smile:
"My husband is determined by all over the world, but still neighbors thousands of miles away. With me as his goal, at most it is only at this level..."
Jin Shang exaggeratedly to spread his hands,
"Looking at the world, you will find a wider world."
The questioner off the court was silent for a moment, and then continued to ask:
"In other words, Jin Shang's senior thought it was nothing great and not worthy of being a target to catch up? Isn't it a bit strange that outstanding graduates are so unconfident? Or do you not look down on the School of Architecture and Urban Planning?"
This...is not over yet?
"Do I have confidence? Do I look down on this college and not mention this class... which class is this class?"
After scanning the auditorium full of the audience, I saw Li Xuan and her mother and grandfather slightly behind, and looked at the "enthusiastic audience" who seemed to be defeated, eager to see the "enterprise" who wanted to be with Jin Shang, and felt enlightened.
Li Xuan did not tell Jin Shang in detail about her experience during college, but she could also guess that she was fair-skinned and beautiful, with a good family background, and seemed to be a little stupid, so there must be many people who pursue her.
I was about to graduate, and I went my separate ways in the future and never met again. I was a little over-intentioned and moved my so-called "loveless man" and inevitably had one or two people who were imbalanced in their minds and wanted to find a place in front of everyone.
"It doesn't matter which class I am. I just hope that Jin Shang's senior' will solve my doubts. Are ordinary people like us not as good as geniuses no matter how hard we work, we are not as good as geniuses?"
Jin Shang is not a person with a good temper and high-quality person. He is also a little angry when he is targeted one after another.
After suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Jin Shang finally focused on him, carefully looked at the "nian enthusiastic audience" who was determined to make Jin Shang look ugly, and responded with a smile:
"I was not obliged to answer any questions or answer any questions for you. However, for your sincere questions, I will tell you with mercy. The rich second generation of rich people in the family are not all playboys. Children who have been smart since childhood rarely neglect their talents."
