This was the first time Gu Yunyang had met Yu Xiaobo and their director.
This is a fairly slim middle-aged man, not overweight, and you can tell from his appearance that he is quite responsible.
Although my head hasn't turned into a bald patch yet, my hair has already started to fall out.
When Yu Xiaobo brought Gu Yunyang in, the way the latter hurriedly put on his hat gave him away.
Gu Yunyang really wanted to ask if he wanted hair growth cream.
He also made a lot of extra money from this during the apocalypse.
However, considering the drought that has been ongoing since last year, the director probably won't have the time or inclination to think about hair regrowth for the next few years.
Never mind, we'll talk about it later.
He's not short of money anyway, so there's no need to rush.
"Xiaobo, is this the young man who helped us capture the spy? Truly, heroes emerge from among the young."
The director laughed heartily and encouraged Gu Yunyang several times before finally taking out the certificate at Yu Xiaobo's urging.
The certificate was real; Gu Yunyang remembered receiving it frequently when he was in elementary school in his previous life.
It was just a piece of paper that explained why the award was given.
Below is the signature and a seal.
The director pulled Gu Yunyang aside and explained gently, "Because of confidentiality, the higher-ups can't be too explicit. But it will be recorded in your file. I heard you're going to the countryside, which means you still have a good chance of being recommended for university."
Yu Xiaobo coughed and reminded him, "Director, you don't know, but Yunyang has always been an excellent student since childhood. If he took the college entrance examination, he could easily get into any university in China."
The director was surprised and looked at Gu Yunyang again, a look of regret appearing in his eyes.
Gu Yunyang remained unmoved; going to university was just a diploma.
To be on the safe side, a high school diploma was actually sufficient before 1977.
Besides, getting a university degree is actually quite simple.
If he achieves something, many universities in future generations will be willing to award him a diploma.
It's just a piece of paper.
Of course, if given the opportunity, Gu Yunyang could consider going to university.
However, the most important thing right now is to completely sever ties with the Gu family.
Although the Gu family lived peacefully for those ten years according to the original owner's memories.
But isn't that because he wasn't there?
Gu Yunyang felt that if he could make things easier for the other party, they could live a stable and prosperous life after the reform and opening up.
Then I would have come for nothing.
Yu Xiaobo had to cough again to remind the director that it was time to move on to the next item.
The director suddenly realized: "Getting old makes you more prone to nagging. Here, this is your bonus, a total of one hundred and thirty yuan, plus some receipts. I heard you were going to the countryside, so I got you fifty jin of national grain coupons. Are you satisfied?"
Gu Yunyang naturally nodded obediently and happily accepted the reward.
These things are just icing on the cake.
The only good thing was the certificate.
Years later, this will be a talisman.
He lived in a small town in the south, and figured that as long as he didn't cause trouble, this thing would protect him and he should be safe.
It is difficult for an individual to go against the prevailing trend.
So Gu Yunyang didn't intend to cause any trouble; he just wanted to survive by going with the flow.
As for other things, we'll talk about them in the future.
The director offered a few more words of encouragement, and Gu Yunyang almost couldn't help but bring up the hair growth cream several times.
It's clear that the director still cares a lot about the three thousand strands of hair on his mind.
The director, however, felt a gaze fixed on him, which annoyed him greatly: "How about this, I'll treat you to lunch at the canteen. I heard your train is this afternoon? I'll have Xiaobo drive you there. You're responding to the call to go to the countryside and contribute to the development of the vast rural areas."
Gu Yunyang did not refuse, thinking that these connections might come in handy in the future.
Friendships are built on reciprocity.
At noon, the director generously paid for the chef to make several plates of braised pork, which everyone enjoyed.
After dinner, Gu Yunyang rested for a while.
Yu Xiaobo then drove the only Jeep in the institute, intending to take Gu Yunyang to the train station.
"Have you got your tickets? And don't lose the letters of introduction either."
