Who wants to be a male model after being reborn? I want to be a male god.

Chapter 382 What kind of freshmen are you?

"Don't think too much. Some things should just be left to nature." Xia Ning seemed to see through Xu Ling's thoughts and patted her shoulder gently.

She pointed to the library: "Want to go in and take a look?"

Xu Ling shook her head: "No, I finally have a day off, I don't want to get back into the study mood."

Xia Ning nodded. She had originally planned to take the two children to see other places.

But she suddenly thought of a good place to go.

She held up a finger and said slowly, "I remember your brother has a freshman meeting tonight."

On the last Sunday night before school starts, almost all freshmen have checked in and are waiting for their college life.

Usually at this time, the counselor will call everyone from each class together for a brief meeting.

That's the norm, but today is different.

The campus is always full of vitality at the beginning of the school year, and it is especially lively now.

The freshman orientation session for the School of Computer Science is about to begin.

Students from every class gather here.

In the auditorium, the more than 500 seats were already occupied.

The freshmen sat in groups according to their class. Some chatted quietly, while others looked curiously at the place where they would spend the next four years.

In the backstage lounge, Xu Wen stood in front of a full-length mirror and adjusted his clothes.

The young man in the mirror has a slender figure and a height of 1.85 meters, which makes him always stand out in the crowd.

He had just changed into a dark blue casual suit, with a pure white shirt underneath and no tie. He looked formal yet casual.

Under the light, his angular profile was coated with a soft halo.

"Dong dong dong."

After three knocks, the door of the lounge was pushed open.

"Are you nervous?" Director Li Jiefeng walked in and closed the door.

The director of the School of Computer Science is in his early forties and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with a pair of bright eyes behind the lenses.

He was wearing a dark grey suit today with a school badge on his chest, and he looked elegant and capable.

Xu Wen retracted his gaze, turned to Director Li, and replied modestly: "A little bit. After all, the people sitting in the audience are all junior students, and I am afraid of saying something wrong and misleading them."

He couldn't say that he wasn't nervous at all.

This would make it seem like he doesn't take today's meeting very seriously.

So I just made up a lie.

Li Jiefeng laughed heartily, with a few fine lines appearing at the corners of his eyes: "You are the pride of our school, what do you have to worry about?"

He took a few steps closer and helped Xu Wen adjust the collar of his suit: "From starting your own business in your freshman year to now with Flash City, which one of these is not a commendable achievement?"

Xu Wen grinned and continued to pretend to be modest: "That's all luck."

"Luck? If luck really works, there would be more than one Xu Wen in our college." Li Jiefeng joked.

Xu Wen was about to reply when the host's voice came from outside the door: "Students, please be quiet. Our freshman meeting will begin soon."

Li Jiefeng looked at his watch and said, "It's time, get ready to go on stage."

He patted Xu Wen on the shoulder and said, "Just share your real experience with them like you normally would."

Xu Wen smiled and nodded: "I'll try my best."

To put it bluntly, this kind of activity is to give freshmen some motivation and then paint a big picture at the end, which is what he is best at.

As the host announced, "Now, please welcome senior student Xu Wen from our college to share his experience with everyone," the auditorium broke out in warm applause.

Especially in the girls' area, the applause was particularly loud, mixed with a few excited screams.

When Xu Wen stepped onto the stage, the spotlight immediately followed him.

The audience was silent for a second, and then there was even more enthusiastic applause and exclamations.

"Oh my god! He's much more handsome than the pictures on the Internet!" A girl with a ponytail in the third row said to her companions, covering her mouth.

"I heard that his current company is valued at over 100 million yuan." The boy with glasses next to her pushed up his glasses frames, his tone full of admiration.

"Is this the legendary Teacher Xu? She's even prettier than I imagined." Several girls in the back row gathered together and whispered.

Xu Wen stood in front of the podium, his eyes slowly sweeping over every young face in the audience.

He noticed that several girls in the front row immediately sat up straight, and some even quietly adjusted their hair.

He cleared his throat, and his voice spread throughout the auditorium through the microphone: "Hello, fellow students. I am Xu Wen. I am very happy to meet you all here today."

His voice is gentle and magnetic, with the clarity unique to young people, but more stable than his peers.

The noise in the audience immediately quieted down, and everyone raised their heads and looked intently at the dazzling senior on the stage.

"Director Li asked me to tell you about my learning experience. Actually, I don't have any special secrets. If I have any advice, it is to practice more. Computer science is not just talk. Codes must be written line by line and bugs must be debugged one by one." Xu Wen smiled, his eyes slightly curved.

He paused for a moment and saw that many freshmen in the audience had taken out their mobile phones to take photos or videos.

The light shone on his face from the side, outlining his perfect jawline.

"When I was a freshman, I was just like everyone else and was full of awe for programming. I remember the first time I wrote an assignment in C language, it took me three full days to debug a simple sorting algorithm," Xu Wen recalled.

He made up this memory casually, but it is very suitable to be mentioned here.

After all, a legendary experience often begins with suffering, and people prefer to hear about that.

No one likes to hear stories about genius.

After Xu Wen's voice fell, laughter broke out from the audience, and several boys nodded in empathy.

"I hardly slept during those three days, and the light from the computer screen made my eyes hurt. But it was these setbacks that taught me the importance of persistence. Looking back now, those bugs that drove me crazy were actually my best teachers," Xu Wen continued, his tone relaxed.

Xu Wen's speech was brief and concise, without any long speeches, only sharing of practical experiences.

He talked about how to balance study and life: "Career is important, but it is not everything. I take time out every week to go to the gym and occasionally go out with friends. Moderate relaxation can improve learning efficiency."

In fact, when he was fighting with Meituan, he was working overtime every day and had no time to go out.

He shared his experience of cultivating teamwork spirit in the project: "My initial team consisted of four seniors from our School of Computer Science. We often argued at first because of different ideas, but it was this collision that produced the best solutions. Learning to listen and compromise is a more important ability than technology."

In fact, the four abstract seniors didn't even dare to look him in the face at first, but after recent training, they have made great progress.

He also encouraged everyone to seize the opportunity to participate in scientific research and innovation: "Don't think that you are just an undergraduate and you dare not try. I started my first business when I was a freshman. I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect it to succeed. The teachers in the college are very happy to guide students with ideas. The key is to take the first step." In fact, the entrepreneurial idea was a successful case in the future, and he just copied it.

In short, he told a business story that everyone wanted to hear, a story of a striver who built something from nothing.

Rather than a real entrepreneurial story.

Now Xu Wen finally understood why those big guys liked to write an autobiography after they became successful.

After all, no matter what the real story is, whenever someone asks him about his experience, he will surely say, "It's just a little bit of hardship."

“Finally, what I want to say is that the four years in college are one of the most precious times in life. I hope you all cherish this time, try bravely, and don’t be afraid of failure. The world of computers is full of infinite possibilities, and you…” Xu Wen concluded, his voice becoming softer.

He looked around the room with a determined look: “These are the people who created these possibilities.”

At the end of the speech, the auditorium broke into thunderous applause.

Many freshmen stood up and applauded, especially the girls, whose eyes were shining as if they saw their idols.

Several girls in the front row were so excited that their cheeks flushed, and they grabbed each other's arms and shook them.

Director Li Jiefeng walked up to the stage and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "Thank you Xu Wen for your wonderful sharing."

He turned to Xu Wen, his eyes full of admiration: "As a teacher in the academy, I can say without exaggeration that Xu Wen is the best student I have ever seen in my 20 years of teaching."

There was another round of applause and exclamations from the audience.

Xu Wen lowered his head slightly, as if accepting the praise.

"The School of Computer Science has always encouraged innovative thinking and entrepreneurial spirit. I hope that all freshmen will take Xu Wen as an example and be brave in exploration and innovation in their future study and life." Director Li continued.

He checked the time and said, "Next is the question and answer session. Students who have questions can raise their hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of hands were raised in the audience, most of them were girls.

The host randomly called a few people.

"Senior, how do you balance your studies and entrepreneurship?" asked a boy wearing glasses.

Xu Wen thought for a moment and said, "Time management is the key. I will divide my time every day into several blocks and strictly follow the plan. Of course, sometimes I have to sacrifice some sleep time, but I don't recommend that you stay up late like me. It's really bad for your health."

He smiled.

This time he was laughing at himself.

Xu Wen thought about the things that had happened recently. In the days to come, "time management" is indeed the key.

"Does senior have a girlfriend?" a bold girl asked directly, causing a burst of laughter and booing.

Xu Wen did not shy away from the question: "My girlfriend also helped me a lot."

The freshmen in the audience started to make a fuss again after hearing this.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour.

The freshmen left the auditorium in twos and threes, and many of them were still excitedly discussing Xu Wen's speech.

Xu Wen quickly slipped out of the side door and prepared to leave.

If he didn't leave, he would probably be surrounded again.

As soon as he walked to the small garden behind the auditorium, Xu Wen heard a clear female voice coming from behind him: "Senior Xu Wen! Please wait a moment!"

Xu Wen sighed, turned around and prepared to deal with another enthusiastic "fan girl", but was stunned when he saw who it was.

"Ruoruo? Didn't you say you would wait for me at home tonight to celebrate my birthday?" He raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Gu Xingruo was wearing a light pink dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps.

She tied her long golden hair into a high ponytail, revealing her smooth forehead and delicate facial features.

He was holding a brand new copy of "Introduction to Computers" in his hand, flipping through it pretentiously, looking youthful and a bit playful.

"Of course I'm here to listen to the senior's speech. I'm a freshman in the School of Computer Science!" She blinked her big, bright eyes with an innocent look on her face.

She started playing the "senior and junior" game again.

Xu Wen couldn't help laughing: "What kind of freshman are you? It's not like you just transferred to another school and have to start all over again from freshman year."

"Oh, senior, you have a really good memory. But I am indeed a 'freshman'. People who just transferred here are also considered freshmen, right?" Gu Xingruo stuck out her tongue, and this action made her look more lively and cute.

Xu Wen shook his head helplessly: "Okay, okay, you are also a freshman, but you are a management student, why are you holding computer textbooks?"

"Of course it is to follow in my senior's footsteps. After listening to my senior's speech, I was deeply inspired and decided to devote myself to the great cause of computer science!" Gu Xingruo held his hands to his heart, pretending to be in worship.

She spoke in a deliberately exaggerated tone, and after she finished speaking she turned around with her skirt flying.

Xu Wen was about to retort when another familiar voice interrupted: "Wow, it's so lively here!"

The two turned around and saw Yang Yiyao walking towards them.

She wasn't wearing any "weird clothes" today.

Instead, he wore an oversized black sweatshirt and slim jeans, and sneakers, looking casual and handsome.

"Don't tell me you are a freshman too. What day is it? Why do you all come here pretending to be freshmen?" Xu Wen held his forehead and pretended to have a headache.

Yang Yiyao blinked her big cat-like eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered like a small fan in the sun: "How did you know? I was planning to give everyone a surprise!"

She lowered her voice in a mysterious manner and moved closer to the two of them: "Actually, I was admitted to this university last year. I'm now a first-year graduate student, so I can be considered a 'freshman'!"

Gu Xingruo immediately put the blame on me, pointing at Yang Yiyao and saying with a smile: "I am still a freshman, but you, a graduate student, shouldn't hang out with us undergraduates."

After she finished speaking, she also complained: "I remember that Linjiang University doesn't seem to have a major in charlatanism?"

Yang Yiyao glared at Gu Xingruo in pretended anger and said, "I've told you so many times that it's called divination. Besides, it's good enough that I don't teach them in the field of divination. Why should anyone else teach me?"

She is very confident.

Xu Wen looked at the two people in front of him and shook his head helplessly: "Alright, alright, the two 'freshmen' move to the side first, the senior has to go home now."

Gu Xingruo naturally took Xu Wen's arm and said, "No problem. Junior sister will accompany senior brother home and celebrate your birthday tonight."

Yang Yiyao also did not forget to cross her feet: "Birthday party? I want to go too, I want to go too!"

She thought about it for a long time and originally didn't plan to come, but in the end she couldn't help it.

While a few people were chatting, someone greeted them not far away.

"Brother, you were really good at bragging on the stage just now!"

Xu Wen turned around and saw Xia Ning walking towards them with Xu Ling and Huang Jiaojiao.
