Nominal: Who isn't a son-in-law?

"Professor Gao, I personally want to pursue a master's degree. Do you have any suggestions?" After a few moments of silence, Qi Tongwei glanced at Chu Shijun, who was puffing on a cigarette beside him, and spoke first.

"Continue with graduate studies?"

Gao Yuliang nodded, looking pleased, and said with certainty, "Continuing your studies is definitely a good thing. Graduate students have better future prospects than undergraduates. I know about your family situation, so pursuing a master's degree is an option."

Gao Yuliang is still a teacher, and he is naturally very satisfied that his students are willing to continue their studies and acquire knowledge.

Moreover, given Qi Tongwei's family situation, pursuing a master's degree would undoubtedly improve his future circumstances and conditions.

As for tuition fees, living expenses, and so on, he had seen Qi Tongwei's hard work over the past two years; it was just a matter of coming for three more years.

Furthermore, he is the deputy director of the Department of Political Science and Law. These days, a master's degree is highly valued, and he can certainly be given preferential treatment in some aspects.

"If you've decided to pursue graduate studies, then study hard. As for what happens after you start graduate school, you can think about it slowly. I can still help you with job placement. You can apply for a reduction in your tuition fees, and I'll approve it. Your grades are excellent, so the school won't have any objections," Gao Yuliang said slowly.

Thank you, teacher!

Qi Tongwei quickly stood up, bowed deeply, and expressed his sincere gratitude.

Seeing this scene, Chu Shijun was also moved. A scholar will die for one who understands him. No wonder that in his previous life, Director Qi swallowed a spear at Guying Ridge without ever mentioning his teacher.

"To forge iron, one must be strong oneself. Only by acting uprightly and sitting properly can one go further. Just remember what your teacher said." After saying this to Qi Tongwei, Gao Yuliang took a sip of tea and then looked at Chu Shijun beside him.

"So, you're planning to go to graduate school too?"

……

Chu Shijun nodded, then shook his head and said, "I plan to start working directly while pursuing my postgraduate studies."

"A part-time postgraduate student?"

"right."

Gao Yuliang narrowed his eyes, pondering the feasibility.

The status of working professionals pursuing a postgraduate degree has been around for several years, although it has not yet become widespread.

However, many organizations allow their employees to pursue postgraduate degrees while continuing to work, as long as they pass the exams and defend their final thesis.

So this road is actually a good option.

Gao Yuliang has some influence at the school, and he can easily recommend a student for a part-time program.

Not to mention, Chu Shijun is naturally intelligent and has good grades, so he doesn't have to worry about the pressure of studying and working while studying.

After considering the possibilities, Gao Yuliang slowly nodded and said, "This is a viable path. Starting work early and accumulating work experience is excellent."

Chu Shijun was not surprised at all upon hearing this; he knew that Gao Yuliang would definitely agree.

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei's eyes lit up. If that were the case, wouldn't he be able to start working sooner and earn money for his parents?

"Teacher, I..."

So he quickly tried to speak up, but Gao Yuliang waved him off as soon as he uttered a word.

"You can't do it."

"Why?" Qi Tongwei was puzzled. Although his grades were not as good as Chu Shijun's, they were not much worse.

"You are all students majoring in political science and law. You will definitely be assigned jobs in the government sector in the future, not in other units. So, unless you are unwilling, you will definitely go into politics. Your grades are very good, but compared with Shijun, you are too straightforward. Going in so early will cause you to stumble."

"To put it simply, your political awareness is not high enough. Politics is not like school, where you can finish your homework every day and take the exam at the end of the semester. You also need to be tactful and considerate. Although I am not in politics, I was treated as a department-level official in university, which is a small society. I have seen many young people like you plunge into it headfirst and not even make a ripple."

"I know Shijun; he's bright and eloquent. It's good for him to get some experience early on. As for Tongwei, since you're planning to pursue graduate studies, I'll take this opportunity to give you some more guidance. I don't expect you to go very far, but at least you'll make a splash. If that's enough, then my role as your teacher won't have been in vain. Do you understand?"

"Of course, if you insist on being like Shijun, your teacher will not stop you. If you have any questions about your work in the future, you can always come back and ask me."

Gao Yuliang spoke slowly and deliberately, observing Qi Tongwei's reaction. When he caught a glimpse of a thoughtful expression on Qi Tongwei's face, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"Teacher, I understand!" Qi Tongwei stood up and bowed again.

"Perhaps you still have doubts, but you'll understand when the time comes. Sit down." Gao Yuliang nodded and said, then lit another cigarette and pointed to the bookshelf next to him, which was piled high with books, many of which had tattered covers.

"I enjoy reading, especially history. Among them, my favorite is the history of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty, with its 280 years of rise and fall, is worth studying and exploring. As one of the most recent dynasties, it is also a typical dynasty in ancient my country with centralized power and a mature bureaucratic system. Therefore, many officials also like to read the history of the Ming Dynasty."

"Reading history makes one wise, and by learning from history, one can understand the rise and fall of dynasties. When you go into work in the future, you can read more of history; perhaps you will gain some inspiration, knowledge, and insights, which would be excellent. Shijun does this very well; he is the one who goes to the school library the most frequently..."

……

Teacher Gao Yuliang's mini-class lasted for more than an hour.

When talking about the history of the Ming Dynasty, he became very enthusiastic and didn't even need to take a nap.

The two left his house around three o'clock.

"Shijun, are you going back to school, or...?" Qi Tongwei asked as he walked to the intersection and looked at the school's back gate in the distance.

"I still have some information to look up, I'm going to the library, what about you?" Chu Shijun replied.

"I haven't seen Chen Yang for over a month, so I had to go find her as soon as I got back." Qi Tongwei smiled happily when he talked about Chen Yang.

"Alright."

The two immediately parted ways.

Watching Qi Tongwei's departing figure, Chu Shijun shook his head and walked towards the school.

As he knew, Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang were getting along well, but they hadn't officially started dating yet, though it was probably soon.

But Chu Shijun still didn't think highly of this relationship.

Firstly, it's because of Chen Yanshi, and secondly, it's because of Liang Lu.

Although Qi Tongwei hasn't run into Chen Yanshi yet, once the two establish a relationship, it's estimated that it will happen soon.

Liang Lu had met the other party when he first taught them law class.

It must be said that Miaoshan, who is not yet thirty, is really beautiful. With the help of her status, she can be said to be the number one beauty of Han University.

However, when they were sophomores, Chu Shijun discovered that Liang Lu had taken a long leave of absence for a period of time.

When she returned, she had lost a lot of weight, and there were rumors that she had an abortion for her boyfriend, which greatly damaged her health.

Since then, Liang Lu's gaze towards him and Qi Tongwei has become somewhat strange.

Honestly, if he hadn't discovered Pei Qianqian and hadn't known that his hometown was called Pinyin County, he would have gone there himself for the sake of his future. Even if he couldn't have children, he could still have them through IVF in the future.

Besides, the social atmosphere between men and women in this era was not like that of later generations. Liang Lu only had this one boyfriend, and he was far from being as bad as some rumors suggested. After all, her father was Liang Qunfeng, the future Deputy Secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.
