Chapter 320 When you turn 18, the senior will come to play with you again
In addition to being one of the four major high schools in Xingcheng, Li Ya is also one of the first eight key high schools listed in Southern Province. It can be said that it is quite famous in the entire province.

The campus area is not small, 94 acres. The new campus is under construction, covering an area of ​​150 acres, and it is said that it will open in 25 years.

The parking lot is quite far from the teaching building, so you can enjoy the scenery along the way.

The old camphor trees are tall and straight. When you walk on such a road, not only can the dense branches and leaves block the sunlight, but you can also smell a faint fragrance.

From time to time, a few students in school uniforms walked by. Their thick glasses and immature looks made Shen Yuan look a little dazed.

Most of the boys have mustaches and shaved heads, while the girls basically wear their hair in ponytails and have a natural smile without makeup.

During his three years of high school, most of Shen Yuan's classmates had this image, except for him who was rebellious and refused to shave his head.

There weren't many fond memories of that time, because the study atmosphere at Li Ya was too intense and not suitable for a poor student like Shen Yuan who loved to wander around.

Li Ya’s wall was very high, and it was inconvenient to access the Internet. Shen Yuan didn’t know how he managed to survive at that time.

Not long after we walked, a girl in school uniform and a volunteer badge came to greet us enthusiastically.

"Hello, senior. I am a volunteer for this year's Liya alumni association. Do I need you to go to the venue?"

"Okay, let's go."

Shen Yuan glanced at this school girl. Her figure was still hard to hide under the loose school uniform, and her fair and pure face was revealed through the thick glasses.

He was not short, and was only wearing flat shoes, so his height reached Shen Yuan's ears.

The nutrition of today's students is really getting better and better.

"Junior, it's so miserable. You've been forced to be a volunteer before school even starts." Shen Yuan said casually.

"Ah, yes."

The schoolgirl replied: "I heard from the class teacher that many outstanding graduates are coming back this time, not only entrepreneurs but also academicians. They will also give speeches on stage this time."

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "That means you have a strong desire to improve. Your grades must be good, right?"

The schoolgirl shook her head modestly: "It's just average. It's hard to get into the top 20 in the grade. I can only hover around 30th in the grade."

The corners of Shen Yuan's mouth twitched. She suspected that this junior girl was in Versailles. The top 30 students in Li Ya's grade all scored above 600 points, or even better.

With this kind of score, you can get into any of the top 985 or 211 universities.

But Shen Yuan would never admit that he was bad, so he just said calmly: "Oh, it's just average."

The junior turned her head and said sincerely: "Senior, since you are invited to attend the alumni association, your grades must have been very good back then."

"I just brought two seniors to the venue. One of them graduated from MIT and the other graduated from Kyoto University. Which university did you graduate from?"

Damn, I'm so sad, junior. Your senior's worst attribute is his academic qualifications.

Shen Yuan coughed and said, "Schoolmate, I'm going to criticize you for this."

"Ah, why?"

The schoolgirl looked confused and didn't know what she had done wrong.

Shen Yuan said slowly, "It's too superficial to judge a person by which university he graduated from. I believe that we are here not because we got into a certain university because of our good grades, but because of what we have achieved and what contributions we have made to society."

The schoolgirl nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, senior."

Shen Yuan smiled with relief: "Well, I understand."

"But, Senior."

The schoolgirl blinked her eyes and asked, "Which university did you graduate from?"

Shen Yuan: “.”

".
Soon, the schoolgirl led Shen Yuan to the center of the venue. Two student volunteers reviewed his electronic invitation letter at the door. Before leaving, the schoolgirl asked, "Senior, what's your name?"

"My name is Shen Yuan, what's yours?"

The schoolgirl smiled sweetly: "My name is Wei Ke'er."

"Ok, bye."

Shen Yuan silently memorized the name Wei Ke'er, thinking to himself, "Grow up quickly, junior sister. When you turn 18, senior will come to play with you."

"Ok, bye."

Wei Ke'er watched Shen Yuan walk into the venue and thought that this senior was really interesting. In the end, he still didn't tell her where he graduated from.

What kind of school is it? Is it embarrassing to say it out loud?

"Shen Yuan, Shen Yuan, Abyss?"

Wei Keer murmured a few words, blinked her clear eyes, and then walked out to see if there were any other alumni who needed help.

According to the electronic invitation letter, the theme of this alumni association is the "117th Anniversary of the School's Founding". The schedule is quite rich. First, there is an opening session in the auditorium, with speeches from school leaders and important guests.

Then there were alumni sharing, interactive raffles, free exchanges and visits, reminiscing about youth, and finally a dinner.

After Shen Yuan walked into the venue, he found that there were quite a lot of people, but most of them were middle-aged men and women, and there were also a small number of alumni in their seventies. Maybe there were academicians among them, who were the pillars of the country.

"Shen Yuan!"

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded behind him. Shen Yuan turned around and saw a round belly, a pair of small glasses and a smiling face. Who else could it be but the class teacher, Lao Yu.

"Lao Yu!"

Shen Yuan greeted with a smile.

Although he was not liked by Lao Yu in the past, Lao Yu was actually quite easy to deal with, especially since he loved to chat. The atmosphere in the class was like that, everyone was studying, and only Shen Yuan and the last-ranked student who studied abroad boasted to him.

"He's dressed up like a real person, and he really looks like that."

Lao Yu said with a smile, and took out a pack of Furongwang from his trouser pocket: "Do you want to smoke now? How about getting two?"

Shen Yuan waved his hand: "I don't smoke, so you should smoke less too. Teaching the second and third grade students is so tiring. Don't think you are still in good health. You are 50 this year, right?"

"You're already 51, but it sounds weird when you show concern for others."

Lao Yu stuffed the cigarette back into his pocket and said disdainfully, "I'm not moved. I still like the way you and Haigui talk back to me."

"You just can't stand nice words."

Shen Yuan curled his lips. The "sea turtle" referred to the one who was ranked last. Ever since he went to study in Australia, Lao Yu called him the sea turtle.

"You are so awesome now, Shen Yuan. I never thought that you, a private university student, could be invited to attend the alumni association."

Old Yu patted Shen Yuan on the shoulder and said proudly, "You lowered the pass rate of our entire class, causing me to lose 5000 in bonus. If you hadn't made me proud this time, I would remember you for the rest of my life."

In recent years, Liya has had a 97% pass rate for first-tier universities, so a second-tier university student like Shen Yuan directly lowered the admission rate of the entire school. I don't know how much money Old Shen spent to get himself into this high school, but when the college entrance examination results came out, not to mention others, Old Yu must have shaken his head.

In addition to the face of the class teacher, the online rate also represents their bonus. Lao Yu may not be able to remember those mediocre students, but he will definitely remember the poor students whose bonuses he had deducted.

"Then I am really honored. Others are remembered by teachers because of their good grades, but I am remembered by teachers because of my poor grades."

Shen Yuan said with a playful smile: "But I'm still wondering, why did the school invite me this time?"

"It was only when Principal Tang mentioned your name that I realized you are doing very well now."

Old Yu was afraid that he was craving for cigarettes, so he put the cigarette box in his pocket and took out his lighter to play with it. "When I retire, can you see if there is any security job in your company that I can do? It would be best if it is a job that pays little but is very demanding."

Shen Yuan laughed when he heard this: "Little money but a lot of work?"

Lao Yu also laughed: "I'm really old now. You can hardly speak clearly. What I want to say is that there is more money and less work."

Shen Yuan agreed with a smile: "Okay, Lao Yu, I will definitely exploit you like you exploited us in high school."

Old Yu laughed and scolded: "Oh, you kid, you don't know what it means to respect your teacher!"

Shen Yuan got back to business: "But Lao Yu, why did Principal Tang invite me? How did he know about me?"

Old Yu explained: "He said that the last time he went to a meeting in the district, the district chief mentioned it to him."

"Oh, I understand then."

The last time he attended an alumni association involving foreign affairs, Hua Zhongkui asked Shen Yuan which high school he graduated from. Shen Yuan said he graduated from Li Ya, and he made fun of him. He said Shen Yuan was a "slippery fish" from Li Ya Middle School.

I guess Hua Zhongkui remembered it at that time, and it just so happened that Principal Tang thought of inviting him to the alumni association this time.

"Okay, I'll go talk somewhere else. You see that place? That's your seat. Your class monitor and two other students are also next to you."

Lao Yu made an excuse to leave. Shen Yuan knew he was craving for cigarettes but didn't stop him. He looked in the direction he was heading and saw several familiar yet unfamiliar faces, so he walked straight over.

The 2 boys and 1 girl, the thin one wearing glasses is their class monitor Zeng Jianyao, who was in the top in the class and top in the grade, and was admitted to Peking University.

There was also a girl with ordinary looks, her name was Ding something, oh yes, Ding Manman.

The slightly fat and dark one is called Cao, I forgot his name!
But this is normal. After all, we don’t interact much in normal times and haven’t been in touch since graduation. I guess in a few years, I might even forget his name, not to mention his appearance.

It would just be awkward if I couldn't call out people's names later.

When Shen Yuan walked towards them, they were also talking about him. Ding Manman frowned and said, "Why is Shen Yuan here? The class teacher said that only three of us received the invitation. Class monitor, do you know?"

Zeng Jianyao adjusted the frame of his glasses, shook his head and said calmly, "I don't know."

"What about you, Ye Yu."

The slightly plump, dark-skinned young man called Ye Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know. I remember he just got into a second-tier university."

Although the three of them didn't say it, they all exuded a sense of superiority, as if Shen Yuan shouldn't be in such a restricted alumni association.

Shen Yuan's grades were at the bottom of the class, and he only got into an ordinary second-tier university. He often went outside to surf the Internet, and he had fought and skipped classes. How could he be qualified to be here?

Shen Yuan originally wanted to say hello to his old classmates, but seeing the three of them sitting upright with indifferent expressions, he simply didn't bother to say hello.

Academic qualifications are a stepping stone, and those who can be admitted to prestigious universities such as Peking University have not only academic talent but also hard work, which Shen Yuan actually admires.

Shen Yuan vaguely remembered that when Zeng Jianyao appeared at the graduation dinner, the whole class applauded and looked at him with admiration. After all, he was a top student who had been admitted to Peking University with the sixth highest score in the school.

But it's wrong to put on airs.

In front of a jerk like me, you will be nothing more than a high-level worker in the future.

In fact, their thoughts are easy to understand. They think they have a bright future after being admitted to a good university. In addition, their relatives and friends praise them to the sky, which inevitably makes them feel superior.

They were thinking that if Shen Yuan greeted them first, they would respond. However, it was absolutely impossible for them to greet first. Wouldn't that be like a first-rank official toasting a fifth-rank official?

But who knew that Shen Yuan didn't even raise his eyelids, and glanced at him indifferently. He really had no respect at all.

Shen Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to those people who had not been beaten by society. He sat down in the empty seat next to Ye Yu, then picked up his mobile phone and opened Baidu to check.

“How can I become a visiting professor at Kyoto University?”

"Can a person with billions of dollars become a visiting professor at Kyoto University?"

"If you have made outstanding achievements in charity or business, can you become a visiting professor at Kyoto University?"

"."

After searching for several questions, I found some serious answers. However, before Shen Yuan could take a closer look, someone came over to say hello.

"Hello, Junior Brother."

Next to him was a young man wearing gold-framed glasses, who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, wearing a shirt and trousers. He smiled peacefully and stretched out his hand.

Shen Yuan shook his hand and said, "Hello, Senior Brother."

The young man with gold-framed glasses introduced himself to Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan learned that his name was Wei Ming, that he graduated from Zhejiang University, and now worked in a public hospital in Xingcheng.

Shen Yuan also told him his school, but he didn't show anything unusual.

After all, they are members of society. No matter what they think in their hearts, at least they will put in more effort on the surface than the young kids who haven't even graduated from school yet.

"Junior brother, are you here alone? You are not the only one in your class who was invited, right?" Wei Ming asked with a smile.

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "Some classmates look down on my university, so I am sitting here alone."

"No way, there is such a fool in our Li Ya, right? I mean, has our Li Ya taught such a student?"

Wei Ming said in surprise. He didn’t quite believe it. Was there really such an idiot in Li Ya?

Shen Yuan was wearing a Nautilus watch on his hand and Zegna and Brioni clothes. This outfit alone cost over a million dollars, but his classmates didn't even like it?

Getting into a good university is not useless, but its effect is limited. Once you enter society and have no resources, you will have to work.

Although Shen Yuan only graduated from a foreign affairs department, it is possible that his family or he himself runs a large company. With such top resources, wouldn't he take this opportunity to hold on to them?

Shen Yuan’s classmates must be crazy!
Well, even if his classmates don’t pay attention to luxury brands and can’t tell how wealthy Shen Yuan is, the fact that he can appear here is enough to explain the problem. Could it be that the school leaders just invited him casually?

"They are so superficial. How can they judge a person based on the university he attends?!"

Wei Ming just wanted to hug this thigh tightly, and said indignantly: "I believe that we can come here not because of our good grades and admission to a certain university, but because of what we have achieved and what contributions we have made to the school!"

Shen Yuan was slightly stunned. This sounded familiar. Didn’t I just say that?

Wei Ming's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and just happened to fall into the ears of Zeng Jianyao and Ding Manman. When they heard it, their faces immediately changed, turning blue and red.

ps: I've been quite busy these past two days, sorry for being late
