Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 807 - 272: Graduation Ceremony!

July 1, 2031, Yanbei University, Building 32, Dormitory 307.

A standard four-person dormitory in the women’s dormitory building of Yanbei Guanghua College.

Although it was already 11:30 at night, the lights in the dormitory had not yet been turned off. The four girls were already lying in their beds, but instead of sleeping, they were chatting away.

This was understandable.

Tomorrow was the 2031 undergraduate graduation ceremony and degree conferral ceremony at Yanbei University. For these young ladies who had accompanied each other for four years, they were about to part ways.

At this time, there was naturally too much to talk about.

Yes, four years ago, Xia Keke ultimately accepted Qiao Yu’s suggestion, applied to Yanbei University’s Guanghua College, and was successfully admitted.

The only pity is that happy times are always short-lived. The wonderful four years of undergraduate life almost flew by.

There was no time to savor it properly, and it was over.

However, these four years are undoubtedly extremely precious memories because Xia Keke indeed had a smooth time. She hardly encountered any troubles in school.

For instance, the personalities of the three young ladies in the dormitory were great. For four years, there was only one group chat, and they never created dozens of bizarre group chats.

There was no doubt that this was all due to Qiao Yu’s influence.

In fact, those who shared a dormitory with Xia Keke were chosen carefully. If they didn’t get along, they switched dorms in the first semester.

No choice, some professors who taught Xia Keke over the four years were quite nervous. They were much more restrained in class and not as carefree as when they taught other classes.

Mostly they dared not sneak in some personal ideas. Although it didn’t matter to say whatever before, certain things could reach Qiao Yu’s ears...

To put it this way, generally speaking, once you achieve the rank of professor, as long as there isn’t any academic misconduct or chaos within the school, and you fulfill the basic class requirements, you’re typically safe.

After all, these days, securing a tenure at a top-notch institution like Yanbei University means you’re considered elite. As for sneaking in personal ideas during lectures, promoting your own viewpoints, it’s practically expected.

Indeed, Huaxia is very accommodating to intellectuals when it comes to freedom of speech.

But there are always exceptions.

During a class when Xia Keke was in her sophomore year, a professor, for some unknown reason, criticized the downsides of Huaxia’s economic system focusing on major tasks, directly using Qiao Yu’s project as a negative example, then started promoting the benefits of Western pure market economic adjustments.

For Xia Keke, hearing these things in class didn’t matter. By university, it’s necessary to understand and embrace diverse ideologies; surely, there’s something to learn from the other side. Huaxia used to cross the river by feeling for stones.

Moreover, everyone has their own different thoughts. But using Qiao Yu’s project as an example was intolerable for the young woman who always admired her boyfriend.

She started debating directly with the professor in class. After this, the professor of that course was directly replaced...

Because two days later, the college posted a notice stating that after careful consideration, the college decided to terminate the employment of that professor for spreading inappropriate ideas.

This incident had a significant impact on the students at that time.

Although Xia Keke felt that she had nothing to do with the professor’s dismissal, Qiao Yu said the same to her, but others completely didn’t believe it.

Anyway, from then on, Xia Keke became the undisputed leader of her class cohort. Along with it, her relationship with Qiao Yu was also exposed.

Before, the two were dating tentatively and cautiously, always hiding it, never choosing to meet on Yanbei University campus, usually meeting off-campus.

After the incident, they simply let go. Often, they would stroll hand in hand around Weiming Lake, shocking everyone in the college...

It also sparked admiration among classmates; who would have thought the youngest and most promising professor already had a girlfriend so early, and she was a fellow student?

Simply a hidden big boss! It was precisely from then on that the dormitory’s already harmonious relationship became even better.

...

"Keke, can your man, Professor Qiao, attend tomorrow’s graduation ceremony?"

During the most heated chat session among the four girls, the youngest girl in the dorm, who slept opposite Xia Keke, posed this question.

Upon hearing the question, Xia Keke, who was quite excited, suddenly had her face fell and replied gloomily, "He might not have time tomorrow; he said there’s a very important meeting and it’s inconvenient for him to miss it."

Well, this made not only Xia Keke disappointed, but also the other three young ladies in the dorm.

After all, when they enrolled, Qiao Yu was undoubtedly the legendary figure in the entire education system.

He participated in the Olympic Mathematics Competition in his first year of high school, won a gold medal, was later specially admitted to Yanbei, and after staying in school for a year, took home a Fields Medal.

By the time they enrolled, Qiao Yu was already a full professor. Although he had been quietly working on projects these years without many publicized achievements,

news would come every year that some international award might be given to Professor Qiao Yu, but he invariably declined.

Also, by visiting the official website of Yanbei’s International Mathematics Research Center, one would find that every year, Professor Qiao Yu’s team publishes several papers in top international journals.
