Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 811 - 274: Promising New-Generation Computers Over There
The thoughts of Huaxia people are actually quite conflicted and strange.
For example, when talking about their alma mater with outsiders, most will modestly downplay it a bit.
"Our school isn’t that great."
They can even spell out these shortcomings in detail, like this isn’t good, that isn’t good. Even a bunch of complaints.
If the person across doesn’t understand etiquette and agrees by saying how lousy the school is, the next words will probably start to turn sarcastic...
"Oh, which school did you graduate from? Care to share?"
Even if they are gentle by nature and won’t voice their dissatisfaction, they won’t feel good about it inside.
The main point is our alma mater, we can criticize it ourselves, but others can’t.
In today’s specific situation, although not everyone likes Qiao Yu, and some even privately dislike such a person.
For example, the admirers of Keke.
After all, Xia Keke belongs to the type with more than eight points in attractiveness, cheerful and lovely, and at the university age, when young people just begin to feel romantic feelings, and teachers don’t restrict free love, it’s reasonable for someone to have a secret crush.
There are even those who genuinely want to steal the spotlight.
But at this time, suddenly an unknown male warmly greets the top professor of their own school, which can easily stir up a united front of hostility.
Who the heck is this?
So shameless? How can a nobody like you address God Qiao’s girlfriend in that tone?
No one thought that this could actually be Qiao Yu.
Primarily because this is, after all, the management school. In everyone’s habitual perception, even if Qiao Yu were attending this ceremony, he should be sitting on the podium, with the principal and leaders.
Qiao Yu hasn’t had much contact with ordinary students these past few years. But with his role as a major project leader, in the eyes of many ordinary students, he should be no different from the professors they usually deal with—primarily mature and prudent.
Only much younger than those professors, about the same age as them.
Of course, this doesn’t include Xia Keke.
She would certainly not mistake Qiao Yu’s voice.
"Huh? Why are you here?" After responding, Xia Keke hurriedly squeezed out from her seat and went over to Qiao Yu’s side.
Even though her eyes were only for Qiao Yu, her good upbringing didn’t let her forget to greet Zheng Xiweng beside Qiao Yu.
"Good morning, Uncle Zheng."
"Good morning." Zheng Xiweng immediately replied.
Regardless of other things, just the politeness made Zheng Xiweng really like this girl.
But if Zheng Xiweng knew that Qiao Yu indoctrinated Xia Keke from a young age with the idea: your words must be sweet, whether facing people or dogs, smiling and greeting might yield unexpected benefits, at least won’t lose out. Over time, Xia Keke developed this habit, he might not be so biased.
"Weren’t you supposed to have a meeting?"
"Yesterday, I found someone temporary to replace me."
"Then why aren’t you sitting on the podium?"
"What’s interesting about the podium? Attending your graduation ceremony, surely it makes more sense to sit with you."
"Hmm, it’s really nice, but..." Xia Keke glanced over, a bit helpless.
Qiao Yu hadn’t given notice in advance, and the seats around her were already full.
"It’s fine, doesn’t every faculty reserve a few extra seats? The master’s graduation ceremony is also held here tomorrow, and the number of master’s students from the 27th cohort is 1800 more than the undergraduates. We can sit in the back. Uncle Zheng will arrange it."
The plan to secretly accompany Xia Keke to the graduation ceremony had been set.
The Qiu Deba Stadium has over 6,000 fixed seats, and if needed, 2,000 more could be added.
The total number of undergraduates from the 27th cohort of Yanbei University’s faculties barely exceeds 3,000, and after subtracting those who dropped out or were dismissed for various reasons, there are plenty of extra seats.
The arrangement looked tight because they wanted everyone to sit closer together, making it seem livelier and more orderly.
In fact, there was no need for Zheng Xiweng to coordinate.
The instructor in charge of site discipline quickly noticed the commotion and, after a brief interaction, upon confirming that Qiao Yu didn’t want to sit on the podium, arranged seats for the three of them.
And very thoughtfully.
Not only could Qiao Yu and Xia Keke sit together, but Keke could also sit with her three dorm mates, without delaying either side.
At least Xia Keke was very satisfied, but her dorm mates were even more satisfied.
Not that they had any intentions toward Qiao Yu. It’s mainly because the opportunity to have close contact with a renowned professor from the school is so rare.
After all, with such a super university as Yanbei, especially in recent years, its international ranking has consistently risen, and the latest QS ranking has placed it at 12th.
Professors who are stars in such universities are often very busy. Not only ordinary students, but even their own graduate students might not see them a few times a year, illustrating how rare this opportunity is.
Naturally, once everyone was seated back in the previously arranged positions, the area became bustling with excitement.
The much-anticipated opening chorus of the graduation ceremony went unnoticed as several girls took the opportunity to ask the pile of questions they had held back.
Being students cultivated by Yanbei University, their perspectives are naturally extremely broad. They had a lot of questions...
"Academician Qiao..."
"No need, we’re about the same age, and today I’m here to attend the graduation ceremony with Keke, so please don’t call me Academician or Professor, just call me by my name or Brother Yu."
