this man is not calm

Chapter 318 Small Party

The mother and son were chatting. It was rare to have a conversation. They didn't meet often. They were busy with their own affairs, so it was difficult for them to have common topics. However, at the level of creators, they could talk a little more deeply.

After "Er Hui" finished his homework, he quickly packed it up as if he had received an amnesty, and was ready to play games for a while. The food was already on the table, so he had to reluctantly be pulled over to have dinner with everyone.

The family was having a good time, and there were two cousins, Mei Fengchun and Mei Wenlong, who came to visit. It was a little more lively than usual. Even the two shepherd dogs, Yellow Ears and Golden Label, felt a little more cheerful.

After the meal, Xiao Jin and "Er Hui" played two games of "King of Fighters 1996". Using their skillful skills and superb reflexes, they beat the confident little cousin to "completely bruised" before putting down the controller and letting him Children go and play by themselves.

There were many people at home, so it was rare for Xiao Jinfeng to wake up for a long time. After nightfall, he fell asleep in a daze. After putting it in the crib, Lao Jin stretched his arms lazily and smiled half-pleasantly, half-complainingly:

"The little guy is really tormenting. He wakes up as soon as he is put down and cries non-stop. Once he is used to being held by adults, he will feel very uneasy when lying flat."

It is rare to have a child in middle age, and the family is quite doting. When the parents are too busy, a nanny takes over, so little Jinfeng does not suffer much.

Jin Shi, who was leaning on the leisure chair as if he didn't want to move anymore, put his hand on the head of the shepherd dog that came over to ask for a head pat, and then asked Mei Fengchun, who was sitting on the "concubine couch" on the sofa next to him:
"You're about to graduate, right? Are you planning to become a singer in the future? I talked to your father on the phone two days ago. I complained so much. In and out of my words, you asked me to advise you to go back and visit more often. It's from the eldest girl's house. You can’t stay outside all the time.”

"How can...I basically live on campus, there's nothing wrong with that?"

"Artists who appear in public have to endure a lot, and outsiders don't know that 'Yuan Xiu' and you are cousins..."

"I've actually been quite busy recently. I'm writing my graduation thesis and so on. My tutor took us to participate in some public events. There will be an award ceremony next month, and there will be an annual ceremony. I guess there will be several awards. By the way... …”

The Mei brothers have become prosperous in recent years, and they don't expect their children to change their destiny through marriage. However, there is no sign of their daughter getting married, which is really worrying. There is a little girl in the neighborhood who has not been admitted to college. Every now and then, a young man invites him to go out to play, but there is no news at home. What parent doesn't worry?

As an uncle, he just needs to bring some words to him, and there is no need to give too much advice. He didn’t say anything even when he didn’t see his aunt Mei Xinghong sitting across from him?
After listening for a while, Jin Shang couldn't help but laugh and said with a hint of teasing:
"My uncle probably isn't asking about this, but is urging me. I'll be twenty-two when I graduate next year, and I haven't even brought a boyfriend back, so I guess I'm a little anxious."

Sticking out his tongue secretly and making a face, Mei Fengchun quickly stopped.

"it is good."

Mei Fengchun suddenly realized something and seemed to have thought of something.
"Although Lao Mei looks like a cutting-edge scholar on the outside, he seems to be quite trendy and pursues new fashions, but in fact he is still quite old-fashioned on the inside..."

"In public, we must cooperate, but... the rumor refuting effect is not very good, no one seems to believe it. We worked hard to make the album, and those who are full and have nothing to do, are most concerned about the inexplicable gossip, and they still ask if it is true Zhang Yu intervened as a third party. Why are those people so boring? Can't you just listen to the music?"

There were very few boys present, so the usual bragging and drunkenness that was so popular did not appear. Everyone was a student or a young man who had graduated for a year or two. Not everyone was familiar with them, and the atmosphere was unlikely to be too lively.

"Maybe!"

Speaking of gossip, Jin Shang felt a little drowsy after his blood sugar level increased after a meal, but he wasn't sleepy anymore.
"In the public information, you are a top student at Yangyin University and a popular lead singer..."

After changing the topic, Mei Fengchun, who seemed to have thought of something, asked Jin Shang,

"It's getting dark too. 'Er Hui' needs to be sent back early. It's time for me to leave."

Speaking of this, Mei Fengchun remembered something. Not long ago, he went to a TV station to participate in a program. The process was lackluster, and some of the details made people feel a little embarrassed.

Aunt Mei Xinghong glared at her niece angrily,
"You can be ungrateful for your good intentions, but there is no need to be arrogant."

"How could it be? I wouldn't treat my hobbies like this. These are all spontaneous. The sadism and snooping desire of the general public cannot be underestimated. The gossip of public figures is a rare source of conversation."

"The old man just loves to worry."

"Why are you talking? That's your father..."

None of her relatives and friends had any doubts about Mei Fengchun's talent. As long as she was willing to put her mind to it, there were few professions that she couldn't master. However, the good and bad fortunes in this world are not determined by ability. Sometimes, there is not much difference between a sudden fortune and a sudden misfortune.

"You should also be nominated, right? For lyrics and music, etc., and...our band is also well-known, and several of its songs are very well-known."

Mei Fengchun, who responded casually and perfunctorily, was obviously unwilling to go into depth on this topic.

"You don't know, because you didn't go, you couldn't get the chorus and duet. The audience actually asked me to sing "Don't Be Afraid of My Sadness" and asked me if I had a breakup with you and the band was going to disband."

"It was fine before, but now you have money. Your family is probably afraid that you will become a bad example."

Jin Shang, who was suppressing a smile, asked narrowly.

This is not the time twenty years from now when people in their forties and fifties can still have a great time without getting married and no one will care about them. In the mid-1990s, the older generation had a strong mentality of "getting things done" and put their children Only when they are brought up and have proper arrangements for marriage between men and women can they put their worries at ease.

There are four brothers and sisters in Lao Mei's family, and the only three daughters are the most powerful. Not only are her nephews and nieces afraid of her, but her brothers are also unwilling to provoke her.

"understood."

"Pull it down. The current Little Maza band is more like a hodgepodge. Moreover, as fame increases, the inexplicable scandal spreads more widely. Did you use some insidious publicity method?"

"You, you look down on your father. After all, he is also a senior researcher who enjoys a national subsidy. It is understandable that the results of data analysis and research from a high position are different from the personal feelings of the general public. After all, you are standing in Look at the problem from a different perspective.”

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Your parents are just concerned and have no intention of interfering. After all, you are old and have your own ideas and plans."

"Then...have you sang?"

The little cousin complained rather unhappily, and upon seeing this, Jin Shi couldn't help but grin:
"You're only in your forties, so you're not old enough to be called an old man, right?"

After having a good time eating and drinking, I don’t know who started it, and wanted to sing, and everyone answered the call. So, everyone went to a nearby mass-market karaoke parlor that they often frequented. After booking a large room, the "social cows" They were laughing and joking, asking for songs, and came forward to perform their talents. The rest were in small groups, eating snacks, drinks, and chatting to pass the time.

"Ah... ah, when you put it like that, it's really... I thought it was okay to call me when I had nothing to do to ask how things were at school, if I had made more friends, if I knew anyone, to help with things like checking things out, etc. Looking for something to talk about!”

"Don't be in a hurry. You can wait a little longer. I'll see you off and then pick up Li Xuan."

Mei Fengchun knew a little bit about her little cousin's character. Regardless of what he said, it was hard to say whether he really didn't do anything to add fuel to the flames.

Having money does not necessarily mean you are a bad person, but without money, the channels for you to be a bad person are much narrower, and you will not attract many malicious eyes.

"I believe you for now."

During the four years of college, I didn’t go home very much and didn’t talk about anything. I didn’t even have a scandal. Now I have become a slightly famous singer, with a huge amount of money and a garage in front of me.

The school dormitory doesn't close until half past ten. It's still early, so I have time to stay a little longer.
-
There were quite a few people attending the gathering, which was mainly for the girls' club. During dinner, the large round table with more than 20 people was full.

"I'm talking about mentality. You don't know. After so many years of academic work, his mind has become more rigid and out of touch with the outside world. Experts who study economics and sociology cannot do without being grounded. This theory and that theory are just words on paper. It’s very annoying to talk too much and keep saying the same thing.”

With the noisy singing, Li Rong came over and said in Li Xuan's ear:

"Originally we didn't plan for so many people. The main reason is that the freshmen are more honest and come more often."

"Well, that's understandable."

The newcomers have not yet formed a solid social chain, and they still have a deep respect for their seniors. As long as there is no special reason, they are still willing to participate in public activities. It is hard to say that the old students are busy with their own affairs and generally will not pay attention to those who are not practical. A gathering of meaning and purpose. As for those who have made boyfriends and girlfriends, they would rather go there to spend time together, and have no time to come here to participate in similar social activities.

Li Xuan chuckled a few times and responded casually:
"Looking at everyone's speech and behavior, you can basically tell which freshmen are honest and honest. Although it is an activity mainly for the girls' club, it does not mean that it is 'clear soup and little water'!"

In a few months, when events are held, the atmosphere will definitely be completely different.

Let me ask a question that most people don’t understand. In university dormitories, after the lights are turned off at night and before falling asleep, people will basically chat for a long time. Do boys’ dormitories talk more about girls, or do girls talk more about boys?
It’s really hard to say these things, as they vary slightly from person to person, from different colleges, to different regions.

However, speaking from her own personal experience, Li Xuan felt that when the girls' dormitory was free, they talked more about boys, and the scale was obviously larger.

When the familiar girls club members organize a private gathering, if there are no boys, it will be a wild mess, with no taboos, and they will tell dirty jokes that will make even the boys who call themselves "senior pilots" blush.

"Next time you hold an event, you should carefully screen the people and don't have so many people. If your boyfriend can bring him, just bring him. If you are an acquaintance, you won't be so ignorant."

"Alright."

After thinking for a moment, Li Xuan nodded in agreement.

It’s not that there are many strangers, but there is not enough familiarity, and sometimes conversations feel a bit awkward.

Last time Li Xuan came to the party, she drove herself there and deliberately chose a small car that was not too ostentatious. As a result, the atmosphere was still a bit uncomfortable.

Among my peers, in addition to those who are taking postgraduate entrance examinations, most of them are working as handymen. They cannot afford to rent an apartment closer to their work. They don’t have much money left in their hands at the end of each month. However, there is a beautiful girl driving a "luxury car" Come to show off, it’s really eye-catching.

He laughed in front of his face, but there might be some gossip behind his back.

Li Rong said with some emotion:

"The university campus is said to be an ivory tower. Most of the students in it are more or less exposed to the outside world. They are obviously immature and have to rely on their own half-hearted vision to judge the outside world. They are self-righteous and do not know how high the sky is. What is our school? The top universities in the country have many students in remote areas. In fact, there are still many "rich" who are not famous. "

It is said that children from poor families become masters early. Could it be that no one has thought about the kind of family that Li Xuan, who can’t comb her own hair after going to college, raises such a student?
I dare not say that I am rich and powerful, but a landowner on the tyrannical side must be worthy of the title.

There is also Jin Shang, who is not very gregarious. He is also a celebrity on campus. He earns tens of thousands of "pocket money" every month and plays in a band with several older "juniors". His family has no money. How can he have such confidence?
Especially after becoming a master's student, participating in more topics, and having the opportunity to be exposed to real business projects, I really realized how huge the difference is between society and schools.

"Being from a small place and having little knowledge does not mean that you are short-sighted, and there is no need to rush to apply simple comments..."

Li Xuan said very pertinently,
"It is especially difficult for young girls to go out. Isn't the purpose of our girls' department to help the majority of female compatriots better adapt to campus, understand the capital, and...how to gain a foothold here in the future? From this point of view, Senior sister, you did a good job."

"With your words, I feel relieved. Nowadays, schools and society are more closely connected and are more affected. Many people and things that we took for granted in the past have also changed. I really don't want those ignorant younger generations to understand , Before my mind matured, I was confused by the colorful world.”

"I'm usually busy with work, so it's nice to come here and relax."

"Me too, I'm very busy with my projects. In addition to the projects sent by your company, I also have Professor Zhang's tasks. Soon I will be preparing for my graduation thesis."

"So early?"

"A master's degree is much more troublesome than a bachelor's degree. Didn't your boyfriend tell you?"

"It seems there is such a thing."

Li Xuan vaguely remembered that Jin Shang once mentioned that in order to get first-hand data, he and his mentor went to the south and stayed there for half a year. "Returning to the south" was still difficult for the indigenous people who were accustomed to the northern climate. Emerging cities In order to study the regional advantages and layout of China, in order to investigate industrial data, power supply, new energy efficiency, and port throughput, Xiaojin has been floating on the sea for a long time.

"If we don't prepare now, if we rush to write the topic next year, I'm afraid it will be too late."

In the first semester of my senior year, there are still sporadic courses, and they will not be fully transferred to graduation thesis (design) until the next semester. It is hard to say for the third year of graduate school. Some majors have more time, while others are more nervous.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the arrangements of each instructor.

Obviously, the School of Computer Science at Beijing Normal University is relatively solid and rigorous in its academic studies.

"I still have some room to spare, but Yin Muye is struggling. While busy with his own affairs, he also has to guide his senior students on how to write their graduation thesis."

"Now that distribution is no longer included, how about employment?"

"In our school... we don't have to worry about jobs, but... it's difficult to find a job that suits your needs. Many graduates have no concept of career planning at all, and I'm afraid they will suffer big losses in the future."

"Probably it won't be too bad. Our alma mater is a normal school after all. Most of them choose to be teachers, so it won't be too bad in the future."

Jin Shang and Li Xuan have talked about this topic many times. How to recruit graduates from their alma mater to join. Just giving money is not enough, the emotional card must also be played.

Today’s culture is not only lacking in highly educated computer talents, but also in management, accounting and legal affairs. Editing, painting, music, communication and journalism are also in short supply.

During the period of rapid expansion, Jin Shang also used many methods. This year's autumn recruitment can be regarded as a small gain. It is difficult to attract students from prestigious schools in the capital. There are still many young people from out-of-town universities who are willing to work here.

The two had a conversation, and Li Xuan was very surprised to see two or three girls carrying PHS phones in their small bags. After the ring rang, Li Xuan went outside to answer the phone.

"There...is there also a PHS signal here?"

"You don't know? This is a product released by the company owned by your boyfriend. It has become very popular in university towns recently. Students with more pocket money are more tempted, and more young tutors are buying them one after another. The one with the best signal The location is close to the school, the station, and nearby Internet cafes and KTVs. It’s hard to tell when I’m out of town, but it’s really good to use it here. It’s very convenient to find people, and it’s much more reliable than a pager.”

"I'm in charge of offline promotion, but I've helped the hardware department a lot. I don't know the details. I'm really busy. The e-commerce company is doing third-party evaluation. Soon, the next A round of financing is coming. There are so many things to do about tangible and intangible assets, and we are also busy with group buying promotions.”

Although Jin Shang had said that the three districts in western Beijing would be used as pilot projects to focus on promoting the layout of university towns, computer towns and the "Vegetable Basket Project" market, he did not expect that even the relatively closed KTV would have a signal.

During the field test, Li Xuan experienced that sometimes when crossing a street corner or two buildings away, the signal may be blocked and severely reduced.

The layout of indoor venues has begun, which is enough to prove that the deployment of micro-cell base stations is huge and there are few dead spots, so that the PHS experience can be acceptable.

"When there are more subjects in the future, I also want to buy one. For a thousand yuan, my family can still afford it. For twenty or thirty yuan a month, I can buy less cosmetics and eat less desserts, and I will almost be back."

"It's okay for use in the city..."

"It doesn't work in the countryside, so it's okay. Even if it's a serious mobile phone, it won't have a signal in remote areas. You still have to use a landline to make contact. It's the same. It's several thousand cheaper, so it's pretty good."

"That's really..."

Li Xuan agreed happily.

In the past, it was not easy to intuitively understand what Jin Shang said, "Discover the market, tap the market, and occupy the market." But now we can clearly see how crazy it is after the "pent-up demand" is unleashed.

This is only a pilot project in three districts of Beijing. It would be unthinkable to promote it nationwide.
