Chapter 543: The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Each Showing Their Magical Powers
The weather was getting colder, and Gu Siqing was always afraid of the cold, so she had already put on a thin cotton jacket.
The semester will be over in two months, but facing the upcoming final exams, there is not much learning atmosphere in the class. Instead, many people are a little restless.
Because they will soon face the job assignment after graduation, which is a turning point in life that is even more important than the college entrance examination.
Many university students of later generations envy those of this era, as they were assigned jobs, often in government agencies or state-owned enterprises. However, university students of this era also faced many challenges in their job assignments.
For example, the principle of the state in assigning jobs to students is to try to arrange them in the unit where the student’s original residence is located, that is, you should go back to work where you came from.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as some better companies that come to the school to recruit graduates, and the school recommends the best ones. However, such cases are rare.
Therefore, for many students whose families are not in Kyoto, it is not easy to stay in Kyoto to work. Some students do not want to work in state-owned enterprises, but want to work in government agencies, so they have to find connections. At this time, everyone has to show their magical powers.
Gu Siqing didn't have such worries. She had no plans to work after graduation. But she was now considering whether to take the postgraduate entrance exam. As far as she was concerned, there was no pressure to find a job or get promoted, so academic qualifications were dispensable to her.
For her, a master's or doctoral degree is icing on the cake, but not having one doesn't matter. But after all, a master's or doctoral degree sounds good.
She discussed this with Han Zhengping, who said, "It depends on your own preference. If you want to continue taking the exam, then take it. If you don't want to take it, then don't."
Gu Siqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's the same as if I didn't say anything."
Han Zhengping was helpless; she decided to pursue a career in writing. Many renowned Chinese writers now graduated from high school, some even from elementary school. This demonstrates that while the literary world is dominated by intellectuals, academic credentials are not the sole factor in determining success; the work itself is.
Of course, having a high level of education sounds good.
Gu Siqing discussed the matter of whether to take the postgraduate entrance examination with Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju. Wang Yueju said she didn't understand and told her to decide for herself. Comrade Gu Jianguo was somewhat tempted.
Their Gu family has not had any educated people for generations. Now Yimin and Xiaosi have graduated from university, which has brought honor to their ancestors.
But if his son Xiao Si gets a master's or doctoral degree, then the Gu family will be very rich.
Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't say it directly. Instead, he asked Gu Siqing what she thought. After all, he didn't understand the matter. Gu Siqing analyzed it for him in detail, and then Gu Jianguo said, "It's up to you. If you want to take the exam, then take it. If you don't want to take it, then don't take it."
You can't make things difficult for his daughter just for the sake of a reputation.
It's up to you to decide. After thinking for two days, Gu Siqing decided not to take the postgraduate entrance exam. It would be better to write two more books with that time.
When she got to school, she told Hu Jiajia and Song Miaozhu that she wasn't going to take the postgraduate entrance exam, and then asked them what their plans were. Hu Jiajia shrugged nonchalantly, "I'll obey the school's arrangements."
She was not a competitive person. Besides, a Kyoto University graduate would be assigned to a good unit even without connections, so she felt there was no need to ask for help from others for help in order to get a job.
Song Miaozhu was a bit troubled. She didn't care which unit she was assigned to. But her father, who had abandoned her and her mother for years, came back and asked her to transfer her household registration to his name so that she could be assigned to work in Hai City.
As the most economically developed city in the country, Hai City naturally has more room for development than ordinary cities.
As mentioned earlier, Song Miaozhu's family is somewhat complicated. Her mother is from the countryside, and her father was an educated youth who was sent to her mother's village, and then the two got married.
Later, her father returned to the city and divorced her mother. The divorce must have been very unpleasant.
Later, when Song Miaozhu was admitted to Peking University, the father wanted to acknowledge his daughter again. Song Miaozhu's mother even ran away from the village to do business because of this incident.
Song Miaozhu had previously refused to acknowledge her father, and he never mentioned the matter again, except for sending her gifts and money every month. Unexpectedly, he'd show up again.
"I'm almost fed up," Song Miaozhu said helplessly, "The key now is that my mother, overheard from someone, agreed to let me transfer my household registration to his name. She said it was for my career development and she could let bygones be bygones."
Gu Siqing and Hu Jiajia were both speechless. It was obvious that Song Miaozhu's scumbag father had a purpose. Otherwise, why didn't he take her with him when they divorced? Why didn't he show up when they were in trouble? Now that Song Miaozhu had been admitted to Beijing University, he had become so attached to her.
"Analyze the matter carefully with your mother." Gu Siqing said.
"Well, I'll call her in a minute." Song Miaozhu said, "When I think of that family, I feel really uncomfortable."
He was referring to that scumbag dad.
The three of them walked into the library and found a seat. Just as she picked up a book to read, someone sat down next to Gu Siqing and asked, "Are you guys here to read too?"
Gu Siqing turned her head and saw that it was Guan Yunxin from the Department of Literature.
Guan Yunxin was a prominent figure in the Literature Department. Beautiful, multi-talented, and the Vice President of the Student Union, she was rumored to have a long line of men chasing her. While Gu Siqing wasn't familiar with her, she knew her well enough; she'd often run into her during her classes in the Literature Department.
"Come and read a book too." Gu Siqing said to her with a smile.
Guan Yunxin took out a book called Running Youth from her bag and whispered to Gu Siqing, "I'm a fan of yours. I've watched this movie many times. It wasn't enough, so I bought the book. Please sign it for me, great writer."
Her tone was playful and intimate, and Gu Siqing couldn't help but feel a little fond of her, so she smiled and signed her name in the book.
The book "Running Youth" was recently published by Gu Siqing based on the script. Because the movie sold well, the book also sold well.
"Are you taking the postgraduate entrance examination?" Guan Yunxin asked Gu Siqing in a low voice again.
Gu Siqing shook her head, "No, what about you?"
"I'm thinking about it."
The two chatted quietly for a while, and in the middle they talked about work assignments. Because their relationship was not particularly good, Gu Siqing naturally did not say that she did not plan to work. She just vaguely said that she would talk about it later.
In fact, during this period, many people have been deliberately or unconsciously asking about her career plans. After all, the competition for good jobs is fierce.
Gu Siqing was a Kyoto resident, had excellent academic performance, studied two majors, and published several books. With these qualifications, it was natural that top Kyoto employers would give her priority.
Those classmates who were trying their best to get into good companies in Kyoto were naturally very concerned about her movements.
Gu Siqing pretended not to know. She couldn't possibly say she wouldn't work after graduation. After all, there was always a chance of something happening. If the school assigned her a job that interested her, she might actually take it.
Only when people have experienced something can they gain more insights.
