Chapter 470 You guys are my connections!
After the military training performance, the same car that brought them there took them all back to school.
After returning to school, the teachers in the group informed the new students that they could rest for the next day, and those whose families were local could also go back to their dormitories. Many students in the group were overjoyed.
In the girls' dormitory, Gu Yin and Yu Lulu had just put their things away when Xiang Xingmang returned.
"I'm back! Gu Yin! Lulu! You guys were so cool in the military training performance this morning! I was cheering you on from downstairs, could you hear me on stage?!"
As soon as Xiang Xingmang entered the room, he immediately gave the two of them a big hug! Then he excitedly talked about what had happened that morning.
Gu Yin shook her head, while Yu Lulu sighed helplessly, "We're so far away, and we have to be careful about our movements all the time, how could we possibly notice the audience! You look handsome too! I saw you! Were you in the formation?"
The three sat down, nodded to Xingmang, and said proudly, "You guys all made it into the special training team! As your friend who's been through thick and thin with you, how could I fall so far behind you! So after you left, I asked Instructor Li to be extra strict with me! I made sure I did more than everyone else in everything! Later, when it was time to form ranks, I volunteered to participate in the selection. I was worried I wouldn't pass!! How about that! Aren't I amazing!"
Gu Yin truly hadn't expected Xiang Xingmang to work so hard, and upon hearing this, she immediately nodded: "Very impressive! I'm so proud of you!"
"By the way, when we were at the camp, I heard a lot of people wanting to change their majors. They said that you can still change now, but once the textbooks are distributed, you won't be able to. I saw that a lot of people were interested, and many people in our class were also discussing it. What do you two think?" Xiang Xingmang looked at Gu Yin and the other person.
Gu Yin shook her head: "I'm not switching majors. I came here specifically for this major."
Yu Lulu also shook her head: "I won't switch either. Although biology is difficult, I've already chosen it. If I choose something else, what if there are any problems, or I can't switch halfway through? I won't do something so uncertain."
Xiang Xingmang nodded upon hearing this: "Then I won't transfer either. I was thinking that if you guys transferred, I would follow. Since that's the case, then this matter has nothing to do with us. However, I saw another person in our dormitory go to the teacher and sign up. It seems that she wants to transfer."
Just as Xiang Xingmang finished speaking, Liang Yulian returned.
Xiang Xingmang looked at her and asked, "Are you planning to change your major?"
Liang Yulian was packing her things to go home when she heard this. She nodded excitedly and said, "That's right, I plan to transfer to the Finance Department. I've already submitted my application, and I'll have the results when I go back to school the day after tomorrow. What, you want to transfer too?"
Xiang Xingmang shook his head: "I'm not switching, but why are you switching? Our major is a top-tier major, it's not easy to get in."
Liang Yulian snorted, "I don't want to spend all day in the lab wearing a white robe. Considering we're in the same dorm, I advise you to think it over carefully. University is the easiest time in our lives to build connections. If you don't seize the opportunity, it will be too late to regret it after graduation! Think about it yourselves! I'm leaving!" With that, she left the dorm with her backpack.
After everyone left, Yu Lulu looked at the two of them and asked, "What does she mean by this? Does she think university isn't for studying?"
Gu Yin explained, "Qingda and the neighboring Huada are the best universities in our country. The finance departments of the two schools are particularly rich in heirs from all the wealthy families in the country. Apart from those who go abroad, Liang Yulian's idea is that if she goes to the finance department, she can get along well with her classmates, make friends, and after graduation, while we are still wondering where to find a job, she can go directly to work in the family businesses of those classmates. That's the power of connections."
Yu Lulu suddenly realized: "Isn't she thinking a little too far ahead?"
Gu Yin shrugged: "No, many people have this idea. Ordinary people study to change their destiny. As long as the means are not illegal, immoral, deceptive, or harmful to others for personal gain, I admire their clear-headedness."
Xiang Xingmang nodded: "My family originally wanted me to go to the finance department. My family members are all in the system, there are too many rules and regulations, and the salary is not high. If one of my family members is in business, then all the family's connections can be used, and it will not be a waste."
Seeing that Yu Lulu still looked confused, Gu Yin smiled and said, "Let me give you a simple example. Suppose you're planning to open a shop in town. Opening a shop requires a lot of procedures, and you don't know anything about them. If your family has connections within the system, you don't have to worry about any of this. They'll take care of everything for you directly, and you won't be delayed in getting things done. Isn't that easy? Now, if your whole family has connections within the system, and the total monthly salary is 10,000 yuan, but your family needs to buy something that's absolutely necessary and costs 100,000 yuan, what do you do if you don't have the money? You can borrow money, but people might not lend it to you, and even if they do, you'll definitely have to pay a price. But if someone in your family owns a company, wouldn't it be easy to come up with that 100,000 yuan?"
Yu Lulu blinked: "Having connections in high places makes things easier? Money talks? Then I definitely can't change my major! Aren't you all my connections?! Who has better connections than me?!"
Gu Yin: "..." It seems that's indeed true.
Xiang Xingmang: "..." That makes a lot of sense.
The two exchanged a glance and coughed lightly: "Ahem, if you want to understand it that way, it's not entirely wrong."
Gu Yin had already packed her things. Xiang Xingmang was from Beijing and would definitely be going back, so Yu Lulu would be the only one left in the dormitory.
"Lulu, let's both go home. You'll be bored here all by yourself. Why don't you come stay at my place?"
Yu Lulu quickly shook her head: "I'm fine on my own! I can do whatever I want. You guys should go back now! There are still four years left, I'll definitely come back to visit you! There's no rush! Hurry up and go, remember to bring me some good food when you come back! Don't forget!"
Both of them are children who have been away from home for a month. Not to mention that she misses her parents, her parents must also miss their children. When Gu Yin and her partner go back tonight, they will definitely have a good talk and get together with their parents and family. It would be very impolite for an outsider like me to go and join in the fun!
Seeing that she insisted, the two stopped trying to persuade her.
When Gu Yin left the dormitory, she saw Gu Shu waiting downstairs.
Xiang Yueya was also waiting for Xiang Xingmang downstairs. Gu Yin had already driven to her own car. At this time, the school was not very strict, and parents' cars were allowed to drive in.
"How are you going to get back?" Gu Yin asked the two of them when they got downstairs.
Xiang Yueya smiled and said, "My dad is on his way. You go back first, we'll just wait a little longer!"
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this, said goodbye to the two, got into Gu Qinglang's car, and went home together.
Before she even reached the archway after getting home, Gu Yin heard Gu Hua's voice. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly ran inside.
"Ah Hua! When did you get here?"
Gu Hua was picking vegetables with the old lady when she heard the voice. She looked up, saw Gu Yin, and stood up to wave: "I arrived at noon! I just got off work for the month, so I came over! You're back from military training? How was it?"
Gu Yin greeted the old man and the old woman, then took a small stool and sat down next to Gu Hua and the old woman, joining them in picking vegetables.
"I'll only be there for a few days, let my older brother do it!"
Gu Shu immediately recounted the interesting things that happened during military training.
Joyful laughter rang out from time to time, filling the room with warmth that was even more comforting than the sunset!
