Chapter 331: Eight Years in University.
It was almost noon when he arrived at the west province aviation university. Xiao Luo went straight to the noodle shop in the third canteen, which was already crowded. Because there was no queue system, everyone was crowding outside the small window. From time to time, there were trampling and shoving incidents, and complaints were frequent.
One of them, a plump and short man, complained harshly.
âDonât squeeze, another squeeze and I will get pregnant.â
âYou stepped on my foot!â
âThis is mine. Donât rob me.â
His hair style was similar to a Mohawk with the middle part of the hair prominent. He was wearing a black chinese tunic suit, and his plump and round face was apparent.
Xiao Luo stood still, because he recognized the fat man. The man was an acquaintance, he was his college classmate Guan Tong. However, Guan Tong was still in his sophomore year because of serious substandard grades, not only that, he also has substandard credits. Simply put, Guan Tong was a drop out. Of course, he also heard from Zhang Dashan that after two years of suspension, Guan Tong applied to return to school. Xiao Luo originally thought that Dashan just made it up, but now that he saw Guan Tong, he was able to confirm Dashanâs previous words.
The fat man turned around and met Xiao Luo face to face after he grabbed three portions of meat paste noodles and squeezed himself out of the crowd. He blinked his horribly small eyes before finally confirming it.
âXiao Luo?!â
His face was full of surprise. He even took a second look to make sure his eyes werenât mistaken. He seemed to take a journey back to the past, the young manâs face woke him up from that kind of unrealistic fantasy.
âLong time no see, Tong.â Xiao Luo greeted him.
âŠâŠ
âŠâŠ
Ten minutes later, the two sat face to face at a table.
Xiao Luo also ate noodles which Tong gave him. This fat man darted through the crowd and skipped the queue to directly buy noodles. Nobody dared to complain loudly, after all, he had a fierce face.
âI thought I was daydreaming. I didnât think it was really you. Arenât you hanging out in River City? When did you come back? Is it another story of Hu Hansanâs murder?â
Guan Tong was very talkative. He stammered and talked while eating. He was very excited to bump into his former classmate.
âI returned this year and am preparing to work in Xia Hai.â
Xiao Luo took a bite, and tasted the once familiar smell, he couldnât help but think of a lot of things in the past.
âThen welcome back, now I am not alone. When I am bored, there will be someone to bicker.â
Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows: âYou are not alone, isnât the monitor in Xia Hai all the time?â
âDonât mention Guo Qinghe. He is now a gold medal lecturer in a MLM organization. I have never contacted him.â Tong shook his head around.
Gold Medal Instructor of a MLM Organization? Guo Qinghe?
Xiao Luo was startled, what Tong said caught him off guard.
Guan Tong went on to say: âGuo Qinghe dressed like a dog. He pretends to dress like a successful person to deceive those poor people who want to become rich overnight. He got them to pay out of their own pocket. The places he chose were all in the county town or small town under Xia Hai City, specially deceiving outsiders.â
âHow do you know this?â Asked Xiao Luo.
âWhen he first joined the pyramid scheme organization, I was the first one on his list. I didnât know at first, fortunately I am very clear-headed. Otherwise I would have really fell for itâ
Guan Tong sighed and reached for the second bowl of noodle. While speaking, he had already finished one bowl of noodles. âForget it, letâs not talk about him. Itâs not good to talk about him behind his back. It was also for this reason that I didnât go to the reunion he initiated at the end of last year. By the way, have you and Zhao Mengqi made any progress?â
âWe broke up.â
âOhâ
Tongâs reaction was calm and he did not think it was strange.
Xiao Luo changed the subject: âHave you got your diploma now?â
âNo, I donât even remember how many subjects Iâve taken. I feel that I canât even count them with my ten fingers. Itâs hard to make-up for past exams. But my diploma and degree certificate are nothing to me. Education is not important. What matters is talent. I have long given up the idea of acquiring a diploma and degree certificate.â Tong said bluntly.
Give up your diploma?
Although academic qualifications do not represent everything at present, finding a job was a stepping stone. It was really impossible to do without them. Therefore, these two certificates were better than nothing.
Xiao Luo really did not agree with Guan Tongâs point of view: âAre you working now?â
âNo, no, no, no, Iâve always lived at home, but I ride my bicycle to the school library every day to read books, increase my knowledge and become a talented person.â Tong went on to eat his third bowl of noodles.
âHow can you support yourself if you donât work?â Xiao Luo said.
âMy parents both work in public institutions. Their salaries are both nearly 20,000. Even if they retire later, they will have 78,000 and can sit at home. I am their only son. Their money is also my money. Iâm just spending it ahead of schedule. After I become a talented person, I can easily earn tens of millions to honor them back.â Guan Tong said confidently.
Hearing this, Xiao Luo couldnât help shaking his head. He didnât know what Guan Tong was thinking. If it was him, he would never lead such a comfortable life. He really wanted to ask, what is talent? Does being talented mean not doing anything during your youth? Is it staying at home and free-loading your aging parents?
He couldnât understand Guan Tongâs point of view. Of course, this was somebody elseâs business, he was just an outsider and was not qualified to comment.
âGuan Tong!â
At this time, a faint call was heard.
Guan Tong and Xiao Luo looked at where it came from. It was a middle-aged man in a black suit and glasses. He had very little hair with a high hairline, looking a little bald.
âItâs Lao Yu.â Tong put down his chopsticks.
Xiao Luo certainly knew who Lao Yu was. His full name was Yu Jiangu, and he was their head teacher in college.
He got up quickly and greeted Yu Jiangu who was coming: âTeacher Yu.â
âXiao Luo? Why are you here? â
Yu Jiangu was quite surprised. This was a former student of his. He knew the bad student Zhang Dashan. Therefore, since Xiao Luo had a good relationship with Zhang Dashan, he naturally remembered too.
Guan Tong looked up and drank the last bowl of noodle soup broth. He burped and said, âLao Yu shouldnât be surprised. He is going to be working in Xia Hai and just came to visit his alma mater.â
After all these years, he and Yu Jiangu had formed a dual relationship of being both a teacher and a friend. So he spoke casually.
âIt turns out to be like this. Welcome, ha ha ha âŠâŠâ
Yu Jiangu patted Xiao Luo on the shoulder with a smile, and then lectured him, âDonât get too close to this weak soul. He doesnât think about making progress, and only muddles through all day. The next batch of students I brought with me are about to enter society, but this weak soul is still standing in one place. Other people studied in university for four years, he studied for eight years and he still canât get his two certificates.â
When talking about Tong, he was deeply saddened. As a head teacher, because of Tong, he didnât know how many times he had been teased by his colleagues and lost his face.
