Chapter 417 School Opening
"Ayin, has your application been approved yet?" Gu Shu followed Gu Yin, pulling her luggage, as they headed to the registration office with their family.
Gu Yin shook her head: "Not yet. I don't know if I can pass after military training. I asked the teachers, and they all said that students are not allowed to stay off-campus in the first year, but they can apply in their second year. There's a high chance that my application will not be approved."
“My situation is special, let’s talk about it later. Brother, it would be better if you lived on campus, it would be easier to get along with other classmates. University classmates are all connections. After graduation, you may need to go to other places. You want to start a business, so you can work with your classmates and also find talent for our family! It’s an advantage to build good relationships now.”
Gu Shuzhi said, "Grandpa Chu also told me about this. I've already brought my luggage. I'll be living on campus for the first three years, but I should move out in my senior year. It will be more convenient for starting a business or doing an internship then."
As they talked, the group arrived at the registration area.
"Are you junior students from our finance department? If so, come over and sign in!" The registration area was full of students helping out; there weren't any teachers around.
A senior student wearing glasses saw them approaching and quickly stood up to greet them.
Gu Shu nodded and took out the admission notice: "I am a freshman, majoring in finance."
The senior student smiled and nodded: "Oh, you're a junior! I'm also a finance major! First, register. Then find your name and major in this roster. Remember your class, dormitory number, and class QQ number. We'll add you to that QQ number later. Teachers will announce any class notices there, such as class times, classrooms, assignments, and military training. After everything is settled, pay the fees. After paying, take this receipt to the logistics office, that window over there, to get your dormitory key, access card, and meal card. There's a supermarket on campus; you can buy anything you need there. If you have any questions, you can ask in the group chat. There are senior students there who are there specifically to help you freshmen."
Seeing that there were still these, Gu Yin registered in advance, without joining any of the class group chats.
"Brother, you stay here and do your work. I'll go add our department's class group."
Li Xiang asked Gu Qingming to stay here and then went over to Gu Yin, saying, "I'll go with you."
Because Li Xiang and Li Mengxin are going abroad to study in a couple of days and will be back to check on the beauty salon, they are preparing to move their shop in the computer mall in Jiang City to Beijing. They have been quite busy lately, and since Gu Yin doesn't need to register, they haven't come over.
"No need, Auntie. You and my brother wait here. It's too hot, and walking around isn't comfortable. I'll be right back!" Gu Yin handed the parasol to Li Xiang, took the baseball cap off Gu Shu's head and put it on her own, asked her senior where the biology department was, and then quickly walked over.
Gu Yin knew her major was biomedical engineering. Meng Yu told her that this major only admitted 30 students each year. The knowledge required was not only biology, but also mathematics, physics and chemistry as a foundation, as well as other disciplines such as medicine, computer science, and electronic information. Not only did she have to learn them, but she also had to be proficient in them. Moreover, the maximum study period for undergraduate students was the professional study period plus two years.
This major is very difficult, and those who can successfully graduate are all very talented people. If they continue like Zhang Qiao, they will generally be recruited by various laboratories after graduating with a bachelor's degree to familiarize themselves with the laboratories in advance. After pursuing a master's degree, they will officially have their own research projects, and only after postdoctoral studies will they become formal researchers in the laboratory.
Of course, some people can't stand the hardship and will join some biotech companies after graduating with a bachelor's degree. The salary is relatively high compared to other majors and schools. So no matter which choice you make, graduates of this major will not be too bad off.
"Senior, I want to ask, does the Biomedical Engineering major have a class group?" The registration areas for other majors were crowded and lively, but there were only two people here. Gu Yin wondered if the senior sitting in his seat, whose face was covered by a hat and could not be seen, had fallen asleep out of boredom.
Seemingly having heard the voice, the other person stirred, then took off their hat, squinted in the direction of the sound, and exclaimed in surprise, "Junior Gu?! You've come to register?!"
Gu Yin didn't expect to see Du Kai here. After parting ways in Hong Kong, they hadn't been in contact or met again, mainly because Gu Yin was too busy.
He smiled and said, "Senior Du, it's been a long time! Where are Senior Lian Xin and the others? Why didn't they come to help? Are you the only one here? I've already registered, but I haven't joined the class group. I was afraid I wouldn't know if the teacher notified me, so I came here to check."
Du Kai stood up and handed her the contact list: "They're busy with their own departments! It's all here. See if you're missing anything and fill it out yourself. By the way, I heard from Lao Meng that you're applying for off-campus accommodation?"
Meng Yu was also their former teacher. Although they were seniors and she was no longer their advisor, she was still the department head. The teacher had told him about Gu Yin's situation in advance, saying that Gu Yin had already registered and that he didn't need to record her later. He could leave after everyone else had registered. Afterwards, Du Kai asked about the dormitory issue, and they said that Gu Yin had applied for off-campus accommodation, but it hadn't been approved yet and it wasn't certain if it was feasible. They told him not to worry about it for now and that they would ask her later.
Gu Yin was surprised that Du Kai knew, and nodded: "Yes, but the application hasn't been approved yet."
"You could actually ask Lian Xin about this; I think he lived off-campus during his freshman year!"
"What's up, junior?! I'm so glad to finally see you! We asked you to come out for tea and a chat after we got back to Beijing, but you were nowhere to be seen! I texted you this morning, and you didn't reply until late at night! Tell me, are you just annoyed by us and don't want to talk to us anymore?!"
Lian Xin stretched out his arm and leaned on Gu Yin's shoulder, crying out sadly!
Gu Yin shrugged: "It's so hot, get out of the way! I'm just busy. How about this, I'll treat you to milk tea this afternoon! What do you say!"
Lian Xin waved: "We still have to wait for the new students to register this afternoon, so we don't have time to go. How about we have dinner at the school gate tonight? It's been a long time since we've seen A Yong and the others, let's meet up!"
Gu Yin thought for a moment. There was a family dinner that evening, and her mother and aunt were leaving tomorrow, so she really didn't have time. She shook her head and said, "I'm busy tonight, something's come up at home. How about this, I'll treat you to dinner after military training!"
