Chapter 23: The Legend of HKUST: Su Yang
"Holy crap, this is out of the question. If you don't apply to Tsinghua University when your score is 13 points higher than the admission score, you must be crazy..."
"Is it true? Damn, Su Yang was so awesome back then"
“Why not go to Tsinghua…”
"Yeah, with this grade, why don't you go to Tsinghua University..."
"Hahaha, you idiots, all you know about is Peking University and Tsinghua University. Are they really the best in the world? Go to Baidu and look up the information security major at the University of Science and Technology..."
The live broadcast room completely exploded, and soon some netizens gave hints.
Why didn't he apply to Peking University or Tsinghua University but chose Capital University of Electronic Science and Technology? That's because this school has two particularly awesome majors, and Su Yang's major in information security is one of them.
"It was 13 points higher than the admission score for Tsinghua University. I was actually very curious at the time. Later, I remember asking Su Yang why he didn't choose Tsinghua. His answer was very honest. It was because our school's information security major guaranteed a job..."
Principal Zheng said this humorously, and some students in the audience couldn't help laughing.
Yes, this reason is very Su Yang.
The netizens who were watching the live broadcast were even more confused at this moment. In this era of guaranteed job placement, apart from some special universities, are there any other universities that guarantee job placement for graduates?
Some netizens, confused, went directly to Baidu to look for answers.
After seeing the search results, many people gasped. Capital University of Science and Technology's Information Security major does guarantee job placement. Many graduates of this major enter the secretive intelligence agencies. This major is similar to some majors in military and police academies.
"If it's just because he did well in the college entrance exam, your senior brother Su Yang wouldn't be considered a great person in our University of Science and Technology. Now I'll tell you a few simple things, and you'll understand how great your senior brother is."
"In the four years since he enrolled, your senior brother Su Yang has received a total of 126,000 yuan in scholarships. The meaning is very simple. During these four years, he has received every type of scholarship our school has awarded, and he has always received the highest amount."
"Secondly, your senior has earned at least one million yuan in these four years at school. Not counting scholarships, just from his part-time business ventures. As for the exact amount, you'll have to ask your senior. He's definitely made a lot of money from me..."
Hearing what Principal Zheng said, Su Yang immediately looked embarrassed, and the students below were also amused by Principal Zheng's humor.
"Well, not so much, no..."
Su Yang quickly denied it, saying, "Be low-key, be low-key. You should be low-key. I just want to earn a living. How can I have so much money?"
"You don't believe this, do you? How many of you here regularly use the University of Science and Technology Living Center? Please raise your hands."
Principal Zheng’s words made almost all the students present raise their hands.
The University of Science and Technology Living Center is essentially a small e-commerce platform, or even an online store. It sells a wide variety of authentic goods at affordable prices. Best of all, they offer free and incredibly fast delivery within the university. They also offer instant delivery, even if you need to buy snacks in the middle of the night.
"It looks like a lot of people are using it. Do you know who created this platform? It's your Senior Brother Su Yang. I often buy things there now. Not only are the goods genuine and cheap, but they can also deliver them to your door. As long as you're inside the University of Science and Technology, even if you forget to bring toilet paper, they can deliver it to you immediately."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Hearing what Principal Zheng said, all the lower grade students burst into laughter.
But after laughing, many people were shocked.
It turns out that this lifestyle center was built by Su Yang. This is incredible. Why have I never heard of it before?
He exceeded the admission score of Tsinghua University by 13 points, received high scholarships every time, and earned at least 1 million yuan in four years of starting a business at school. What Principal Zheng said today shocked not only the seniors who did not know Su Yang, but also countless netizens in the live broadcast room.
Damn, what kind of monster is this?
Isn't this guy a gigolo who lives off women? Doesn't he make a living by his looks? How come he has become a top student in the blink of an eye?
"Most importantly, your senior brother Su Yang was an orphan since childhood and has few relatives or friends. Even so, he never gave up. He used his own actions to prove that hard work can lead to success. He proved that a person can still live a good life without relying on their parents or family. As for Su Yang's marriage, I will not comment on it. But today I want to tell all the students here not to follow the crowd, especially in today's internet age. Don't be blinded by superficial things. Treat people and things with serious understanding and stick to your heart. Only in this way can you go further on the road of life."
"I don't know what Su Yang's future holds, but based on his college years alone, I can say for sure that he is a good student and a role model for all of you."
After Principal Zheng finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience, which lasted for a long time.
The students who knew Su Yang well all laughed. You guys, juniors, now know how powerful your senior brother Su Yang is.
"Principal Zheng, I'm embarrassed by what you said. Actually, I'm not as amazing as you say. I just worked a little harder than some of my classmates when I was in college. I don't want to waste my college years just to get a diploma. I believe college is the most important stage of our student life, because what we learn in college is the skills we'll need to survive in society in the future. Studying in other universities is just to get a ticket to college."
Su Yang said with a smile while holding the microphone, which again drew applause.
"Kid, I'm just stating the facts. You're graduating today, could you please say a few words of encouragement to your juniors?"
Principal Zheng looked at Su Yang. He had said this on purpose because he knew there were many reporters present. He didn't want his school's good students to be laughed at, and he didn't want people in society to only know Su Yang as a gigolo.
Su Yang now understood Principal Zheng's intention. Su Yang did not refuse Principal Zheng's kindness, but felt grateful from the bottom of his heart.
"Can you recite poetry?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Su Yang made a joke and everyone below burst into laughter.
“Yes, absolutely.”
“You must recite poetry”
"Reciting Poetry"
"Reciting Poetry"
The students below also joined in the fun. Su Yang's poetry recitation had already become a meme on the Internet.
"Hahaha, of course..."
Principal Zheng was also amused and nodded and looked at Su Yang.
"Then I'd like to share a poem with you today. I wrote this poem a while ago, and it's called 'Love Life.' I hope that in the future, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you will love yourself and love life. Because only by living can you have a bright future."
Su Yang said with a smile, and everyone pricked up their ears. Qin Shuyao and Tang Qing in the distance also looked curious. The live broadcast room also became quiet. At this moment, everyone's focus fell on Su Yang.
“I don’t worry about whether I can succeed or not. Since I have chosen the distant place, I will just keep going regardless of the wind and rain.”
"I don't think about whether I can win love. Since I love roses, I will bravely express my sincerity."
“I don’t think about whether the cold wind and rain will hit me from behind. Since my goal is the horizon, all I can leave to the world is my back.”
“I don’t care whether the future will be smooth or muddy. As long as I love life, everything will be as expected.”
Su Yang recited his favorite poem with great emotion. When he finished, the audience fell silent. Then, the entire auditorium erupted in thunderous applause. Su Yang smiled slightly, bowed in gratitude, and then gracefully walked off the stage as everyone watched.
