Xueba's computing system

Chapter 19 Same people but different fates

After learning that Lin Yuan lived in a shared house in the suburbs, Senior Brother Liu quickly arranged a two-room graduate student dormitory for him.

Since it is not yet time for new students to report, Lin Yuan is the only one living in this dormitory.

Because of government financial subsidies, the annual cost of graduate student dormitories is as low as it can be - only 2000 yuan.

Lin Yuan's half-month rental subsidy at Haotuan was 3000 yuan. In fact, 150 yuan a day could only allow him to stay in a relatively remote motel in Zijin City. So, school was still the best.

After a year of hard work in society, Lin Yuan returned to campus like a tired bird returning to the forest and a fish returning to the sea.

Beautiful senior and junior students, clean and cheap dormitories, cheap and delicious school cafeteria. These are not available outside.

Lin Yuan finally removed the takeout box from the back seat of his electric scooter. He did not throw the box away. He took great pains to clean it and used it as a storage box.

This is not only for the sake of frugality, but also to prevent oneself from getting too carried away.

After experiencing such a strong contrast, Lin Yuan always had a voice in his heart telling him not to forget the despair he had felt before, the kind of despair that made him see no hope every day when he opened his eyes.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance. Lin Yuan subconsciously felt that the experience of the previous year would be his precious wealth. The sweat shed on the streets and the exhaust gas he inhaled reshaped himself.

Whenever Lin Yuan saw the takeaway box with the yellow koala logo, he seemed to smell the dust on the road and hear the noise of endless motor vehicles.

He used the takeout box as a book box to store his most important reference books.

Because the internship work was too boring, Lin Yuan would occasionally complain about it with Senior Brother Xiao Lin during dinner. He was not stupid enough to bother Professor Zhang for such a small matter.

Xiao Lin's answer was: Dullness and boredom are the norm. There will be many such moments in the future during graduate school, so just treat it as early training. Relatively speaking, it is a blessing to be able to follow Professor Zhang. At least it is not really a boss-employee relationship.

Lin Yuan gradually felt relieved.

As for why the relationship between the supervisor and the graduate students is described as "boss and employee", Lin Yuan gradually understood it from the Internet and from the oral description of Senior Brother Xiao Lin. Because in many cases during the graduate study process, it is really like an employee, working for the boss who is the supervisor.

But fortunately, Lin Yuan's mentor is Professor Zhang. Fortunately! Fortunately!
In the days that followed, apart from interning at Haotuan, Lin Yuan rode his electric scooter around the campus.

After the tutor quit, the parents found new teachers, but they were still not satisfied after changing two of them. So much so that they doubled the salary and begged Lin Yuan to come back.

400 yuan an hour!!!

Lin Yuan himself didn't know he was so valuable. His teaching style was to teach math, physics and chemistry in between jokes.

He felt that his current way of making money was completely different from what his parents taught him since childhood.

What about being honest, hardworking and down-to-earth? The time when Lin Yuan is the most honest, hardworking and down-to-earth is when he is delivering takeout.

Forget it, Lin Yuan just regarded it as: the hardship of delivering food has tempered himself. If someone asks him about this change one day, he will definitely say this.

But in fact, only he himself knows that all the twists and turns are due to the fact that he is a cheater.

Hard work is just the 1 in front, while cheating is the 0 at the back.

At this moment, Lin Yuan seemed to have realized the true meaning of life.

"Ah, Professor Zhang is truly my second parent! My dear teacher, I will remember you forever!"

Lin Yuan quickly accepted the change in his life and adapted to it, but he would never let himself drift with the tide. He still wanted to do something, otherwise what was the point of having a computing system?

He often thinks about this, and he has a habit when thinking - sitting anywhere. This is a habit he developed when he was delivering food, and Lin Yuan deliberately kept this habit. The hard ground gives him a sense of solidity.

"Xia Ye, look."

On the weekend, a pair of girls who had just finished their meal walked out of a student cafeteria somewhere in Zijin Aviation School.

"What are you looking at?" The girl named Xia Ye responded absentmindedly.

"That delivery guy, how come I bump into him again?" Xia Ye followed the gaze of her best friend Song Xiaoxiao, "Oh, he must be the delivery guy."

Song Xiaoxiao had a look of disgust on her face. "Why doesn't he even wear a uniform? If you don't know him, you might think he's a student here. The school is about to start and new students will be coming in. I feel like he has bad intentions."

"Oh, Xiaoxiao. Why are you still thinking about these things? The dormitory manager is urging me to vacate the dormitory again..."

Song Xiaoxiao also sighed when she heard this, and lost interest in looking at Lin Yuan. "Who told us to study in the art department of the aviation school?"

Zijin Aviation School is an old science and engineering school. Its art department has never been a strong major. Many people don’t even know that Zijin Aviation School has an art department.

Xia Ye looked worried, "Why don't we go to a training institution to teach dancing?"

"You've tried it all before. You have to teach those kids to dance and deal with annoying parents. The agency even wants you to develop clients. You can go if you want, but I won't go anyway."

"But I need a job now. I need to survive first. I decided to work as a teacher in a training institution as a transition. At least I can survive here first."

"Did your parents spend so much money just to send you to a training institution to be a child king?"

Xia Ye's eyes dimmed when she heard this. "That's why I didn't dare to tell them." Her voice became softer and softer. "I was afraid they would be disappointed. I spent so much money, but after graduation I couldn't even find a job..."

Xia Ye and Song Xiaoxiao have beautiful figures, and they learn to dance, so they look elegant at first glance. But delicate flowers need to be nourished, and although the tuition for the art department is not much more expensive, the money spent on makeup and medical beauty is not a small amount.

"If I had known, I would not have learned dancing," Xia Ye said, looking like she was about to cry, "Why should I learn art from an ordinary family like mine? I will only be a burden to my parents."

"Xia Ye, don't cry. You can stay at my place first."

"You also live in a single room." Song Xiaoxiao is not well off either.

"Just as long as you don't mind sharing the small bed with me."

"How could I dislike it? Xiaoxiao, thank you."

"Why are you thanking me? By the way, I have a way to make money quickly, do you want to hear about it?"

Xia Ye suddenly looked frightened.

"What are you afraid of? I'm not a pimp. I'm just going to work as a sidekick in board game and script-killing stores. The time is short, the money is good, and most importantly, there's no risk."

Xia Ye was very resistant, "I don't want to sell my body."

"Sister, why did you choose to study art? Look at ourselves," Song Xiaoxiao pointed at her own and Xia Ye's chests, "Why doesn't the art department recruit fat people and those with short legs? When you chose this path, you were already involved in lust.

Hey, don't you think those stars and actors are selling their bodies? It's just a matter of how far they sell it.

The customers in those stores are all otakus, they just spend money to buy the fantasy of that moment, isn't it just like ordinary people chasing stars? We regard ourselves as an offline meeting between stars and fans.

Don't worry, there are cameras in the store. If they dare to do anything, we will call the police and pay them back."

Xia Ye was a little shaken.

Song Xiaoxiao continued, "Just imagine how tiring it is to work in a training institution all day, and you don't make much money."

"Will you really not be taken advantage of?" Xia Ye asked tentatively.

"Would I lie to you?"
