At noon, the outdoor temperature had reached an astonishing 36 degrees Celsius.

The entire earth was like an oven, radiating steaming heat.

Fortunately, room 307 is well-funded, and the air conditioning is on 24 hours a day, with a cool atmosphere that is perfect for hibernation.

They had no classes today, so they slept in until they naturally woke up.

"Holy crap! In this temperature, you could fry an egg on a concrete floor!"

The first thing I did upon waking up was to turn on my phone and see the temperature display on the screen, which completely woke me up.

Liu Gang sat up, somewhat bewildered, feeling the biting cold, and said, "I thought it was snowing, it's so cold."

The air conditioner showed a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, and they slept with the blankets on at 16 degrees Celsius last night.

"By the way, who got their food today?" Lin Xun asked, wrapped in a blanket with only his head showing, looking serene.

As the saying goes, "better to die than to die," and since it was so hot, they decided to take turns getting food. Last night it was him, thank goodness it was him.

Lin Xun was extremely fortunate.

"Damn it! Don't you dare say that!"

Gou Shengli was extremely frustrated; it was actually his turn now.

"Brother Gou, thank you for your hard work. Could you please bring me a chicken leg rice, a glass of lemonade, and half a chilled watermelon? Thank you."

"I'll have a roast duck rice and half a watermelon."

Under the expectant and admiring gazes of his two adopted sons, Gou Shengli took his umbrella and went out.

After lunch, the group of students, who had no classes that day, felt sleepy again.

The freedom of college life lies in the fact that when you don't have classes, you can sleep in your dorm all day without feeling guilty.

However, having slept for so long, Lin Xun did not intend to waste time sleeping in.

He turned on his computer and opened a folder named "Plan".

He smiled when he saw the contents.

"Soon..."

The heat gradually subsided after the sun set at 7 p.m.

The weather in Nancheng will remain this hot for the foreseeable future. The school has already issued a notice reminding students to take precautions against sunburn and heatstroke.

Lin Xun and the others took a cold shower, packed their things, and headed to the classroom.

The advisor gave a last-minute notice that a famous professor was giving a lecture and that their class should audit it.

When Lin Xun and his group arrived at the classroom, it was already full of people, all eagerly awaiting the professor's arrival.

The classroom was large enough to accommodate three classes, and it was full of people, indicating that all the students from their major had arrived.

Surrounded by unfamiliar classmates, everyone was still whispering to each other, making the already somewhat stuffy classroom even more restless.

Lin Xun walked to the back and sat down. There were several girls next to him, and they were dressed in light clothing, short sleeves and shorts, only covering their buttocks and revealing their long legs.

He kept his eyes fixed on the podium, without looking to the side.

"Hey handsome, would you like to sit here?" a girl suddenly greeted Lin Xun.

Lin Xun glanced at the other person. Hmm, their clothes were quite cool, a tank top, shorts, and flip-flops. They were also quite good-looking.

Moreover, there's a fan right above her, which is a good position.

Seeing that Lin Xun was not only tall and handsome, but also had a great temperament, the other person thought of striking up a conversation with him.

Of course, whether she knew Lin Xun's true identity was unknown.

"No need, this place is fine."

Lin Xun politely declined.

Just as the girl was about to say something, a boy politely asked, "Hello, is this room taken?"

Since the classroom was almost full, latecomers had to sit in empty seats.

The girl was taken aback, then glanced at Lin Xun with some resentment, only to find that he ignored her. She could only helplessly say, "No."

The boy sat down on his own, still covered in sweat, which made the girl's eyes flash with disgust.

You stinky boy!

"Dear students, we are honored to have Professor Wang, a renowned economics professor, to give us a lecture today. You will all be seniors next semester, and it is also the time to make plans for your future. Professor Wang can answer your questions in this regard, so we hope you will participate actively." The counselor walked onto the podium with a smile and said in a loud voice, "This is his first time visiting our school, so please cherish this opportunity and listen carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, a round of enthusiastic applause rang out in the classroom.

Lin Xun watched Professor Wang walk toward the podium, his heart filled with curiosity.

Professor Wang was a man in his fifties or sixties, dressed plainly, and wearing a small bee pendant. Standing on the podium, his eyes were wise and profound, as if he could see into the hearts of every student.

At the start of the lecture, he began to explain one complex economic theory after another, his voice loud and powerful, his words vivid and interesting.

At first, the students didn't listen much because of the hot weather, but as time went on, they became deeply engrossed.

"Can anyone tell me what career paths are available for the major you're studying?"

During the final interactive session, Professor Wang suddenly asked a question.

The classroom fell silent instantly. The students looked at each other, clearly not having a clear understanding of their own future plans.

You're only a junior now, right? There's still a senior year ahead. Let's make plans again in another year.

Professor Wang, seeing that no one answered, was not angry. He smiled and said, "It seems I spoke too quickly. Then I'll change the topic. Do you know what kind of social environment we live in now?"

The atmosphere in the classroom became a little more lively, and the students began to whisper among themselves.

"Teacher, I feel that the current job market is too competitive. College graduates are worthless now; they're treated like animals after graduation."

"Yeah, we're from a top university, and the heartless boss in the electronics factory only pays me six yuan an hour!"

"Hey, everyone in the business world is using AI now, are we going to be left behind?"

I think so too…

"..."

Professor Wang nodded and said, "You've all analyzed it very well. In today's society, jobs are decreasing while the labor force is increasing. As some students mentioned earlier, AI technology has already been applied to many industries and has achieved full automation, leading to more and more basic jobs being replaced by humans, making it more difficult for your generation to find employment..."

These words resonated with the students, and a sense of anxiety appeared on their faces to varying degrees.

This messed-up society is extremely unfriendly to those born in the 2000s!

"So, regarding these issues, I'd like to share some of the teacher's experiences and perspectives..."

After class, everyone was still eager to learn more, and many students gathered around the podium to ask the professor questions.

Lin Xun rested his chin on his hand, staring blankly with unfocused eyes.

It wasn't until Gou Shengli patted him on the shoulder and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Xun snapped out of his daze and said, "Don't you guys think what the professor said makes a lot of sense?"

Gou Shengli curled his lip: "That's too advanced, I don't understand."

Going into business? He hadn't thought about it. His family was relatively well-off, he could find a job, and his fiancée's family was wealthy, so he didn't have much anxiety about that.

Liu Gang laughed and said, "The trend of progress in this society cannot be changed; it will only become more and more turbulent in the future."

Lin Xun sighed: "I'm suddenly a little glad that my parents have told me they're the richest man in the world."

Liu Gang: "..."

Gou Shengli: "..."

Versailles!
