Xu Xuejun had indeed fallen into a state even crazier than Lin Shumei.
Many people find it hard to understand why he works so hard. He's still young and has plenty of time. There's no need to work as if tomorrow is the end of his life.
Only Xu Xuejun felt that there was still not enough time.
For people who already have money, finance may be a better investment than a bank fixed deposit, but the prerequisite is that they have a lot of spare cash and can afford to lose it.
Xu Xuejun counted every penny he earned, and he wasn't completely devastated. His father earned more than he did, so he didn't need to support the family.
What he can't afford to lose is his future.
Lin Shumei deliberately didn't call him, even though Xu Xuejun would get a red envelope if he came.
But the man wasn't one to skimp on things, so he definitely had to bring a lot of stuff, and he also had to buy a birthday present for grandma. Lin Shumei thought it would be better to talk about it later.
But when Xu Xuejun found out about this, he still blamed Lin Shumei a little.
"You, you should have said it earlier. Even if I can't get through, I should at least be polite! This makes me seem very rude..."
The young couple who had finally gotten together to have a meal were now facing each other, each holding their chopsticks and arguing in low voices.
"You were busy writing your graduation thesis at the time! I decided not to tell you. You weren't being rude on purpose. Ignorance is not a crime!"
"That won't work either. I know now. That's your grandmother." Xu Xuejun frowned and thought for a moment.
"When are you coming home next time? I'll go with you. Grandma, do you like tea? I'll ask my classmate in Diancheng to send some Pu'er tea over."
Lin Shumei quickly waved her hands, "Don't do that! She won't drink any tea or coffee, saying they're too bitter. She won't even drink them if you pay her for them. She only drinks Coke!"
Xu Xuejun: ... "Then, shall I buy a case of Coke?"
Lin Shumei calculated the price and found it acceptable, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then wait until you officially graduate before going back."
In fact, graduation is not as hard-won and heart-wrenching as described in books, newspapers and magazines.
Once you pass the exams and finish your graduation thesis, when the time is up, take your graduation photos, grab your diploma, pack up and leave.
Most people have already gone out for internships or jobs in the second semester of their senior year, and some people don’t even live on campus anymore. Adults who have one foot in society are definitely more concerned about their own future.
Of course, I will feel a little reluctant to leave my classmates whom I have been with for many years, but transportation is much more developed now than that of the older generation. There are also yearbooks where I can record my home address and workplace, and if I am better off, I can even write down my phone number.
As for how many people will be able to contact this address or number in the future, that's hard to say. If you are really close friends, you don't really need to look through the yearbook.
For today's graduation photos, most of the boys wore shirts, and some, like Guo Kai, even wore a suit over it, covering themselves up tightly. After the photos were taken, they took off their suits and were covered in sweat.
Lao Guo stood in the shade, fanning himself with his suit, and looked at the young couple opposite him who were wiping each other's sweat, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
"Miss Lin, does your car have air conditioning? Can I take a ride later?"
Xu Xuejun carefully wiped the sweat off Lin Shumei's nose and made sure her makeup was intact before turning to look at Guo Kai.
"We both have to go back to the village this afternoon. You graduated today, and Wu Hua didn't come to support you?"
What I mean is, take your girlfriend on a date and stop being a third wheel between us.
Talking about his partner, Lao Guo became even more resentful.
"She said she was busy... Shumei, is your company really that busy? I haven't gone out with her in over two months. Every time we get off work downstairs, your upstairs is still brightly lit. I wanted to ask her out for a dance, but she always said she was busy... That's fine, but you came here today, so why didn't she come?"
He wanted to ask if Wu Hua didn't want him anymore, but he didn't tell him.
Lin Shumei almost laughed out loud and quickly helped her senior to explain.
"Our company is really busy right now, but everyone is responsible for different things. There are many things about the Internet that are still new in China, so we have to learn from foreigners and even buy some products from them.
Sister Wu Hua is in charge of all this. She now has to follow the American time zone every day, so she's lucky to be able to sleep for a while during the day, let alone go out on a date...
It's a startup company! There's nothing I can do, I can only ask your family to be more understanding."
Lin Shumei clasped her fists like the protagonist in a martial arts movie and repeatedly assured Wu Hua that he still had Guo Kai in his heart, and only then was she let go.
Guo Kai said that while he understood, he was still hurt. Especially on such a hot day. "Did you see his sweat?" It wasn't just sweat; it was tears flowing from his body.
Lin Shumei & Xu Xuejun: ...Can we get this back to you?
In the end, in order to protect her best friend's love, she successfully helped Guo Kai get a ride.
In this regard, Xu Xuejun only gave Guo Kai one evaluation - cunning and treacherous.
"There's nothing we can do about it!" Guo Kai chuckled, "But you don't have to go back to my place. Just go to the company. It's on the way."
His partner is working hard, so he can't be too lazy. He's just sitting around doing nothing, so he might as well go to the company and work overtime.
But after Guo Kai got out of the car, Lin Shumei didn't let Xu Xuejun go. Today, Xu Xuejun didn't just pack up and leave for graduation. Lin Shumei also stuffed a bunch of gift boxes into the trunk.
"Didn't you say you were just buying a case of Coke last time? What are all those bottles and cans for? How much are they worth? Didn't you say you were just going to visit grandma and make up for her birthday present? This...this pile is enough to make a formal visit!"
Just now, considering that there were too many people in the school and Lao Guo was in the car, she couldn't refuse Xu Xuejun this face, so she had been holding back and didn't say anything. But now she finally couldn't hold it in anymore and blurted out everything.
Most importantly, she told her family that she would come back to visit during the holidays and bring Xu Xuejun with her. But it was just a casual meal, not a formal one.
If Xu Xuejun went there with this attitude and the family had nothing prepared and just went home to eat something, her mother would definitely say that she couldn't explain things clearly.
Xu Xuejun drove the car with a smile on his face and explained calmly,
"I was just going to visit grandma. But my uncles and aunts were all home! Even though it wasn't the first time we'd met, it wouldn't be a good idea to just bring a case of Coke. A friend happened to be going back and forth, so I asked them to bring some stuff."
Don't worry! It's not formal, not official."
Lin Shumei: ...
There's no way she can be at ease!
