Chapter 122
As time entered midsummer, the weather became increasingly hot. Chen Lanjun had only walked along the tree-lined avenue for ten minutes when her clothes were already soaked with sweat.
Outside the Student Assembly Hall, a crowd of people stood there, and it was getting hotter and hotter because there were so many people.
Walking over from a distance, the dormitory head stretched out his hand and called out, "Sister Lan, over here!"
After finally standing in the queue, the wetness from Chen Lanjun's temples had already stained her cheeks in strands.
"You guys are here really early."
"Of course." The dormitory head said, "This is a big matter related to the future, so you must come early."
Today is the day when the school announces the employment destinations of its graduates.
Chen Lanjun smiled and said nothing.
She was experienced and was not too nervous about the upcoming graduation assignment meeting.
Generally speaking, big things are not decided at big meetings, but at small meetings. In fact, the graduation destination is basically decided before the meeting.
College students are very valuable these days, and there are two ways for graduates to go. The first is for students to contact their favorite employers early and express their desire to work there. If the other party agrees, everyone is happy. If not, they have to keep looking.
The second type is graduates who have not taken the initiative to contact employers. They will be assigned according to the applications submitted by relevant units to the school that year. For example, if a unit in their hometown wants someone, then students from that area are likely to be assigned back. This is a bit like "blind marriage", whether it is good or bad, it is unknown. At this time, the relationship between students and schools and teachers will be greatly affected.
There are cases where students with good grades are assigned to not-so-good units. Although the graduates themselves may not be willing, as long as they still want to have a stable job, they have to hold their noses and go. Otherwise, the school will not issue you a letter of introduction or a registration card. Without a registration card, no decent unit in this era will accept you. In addition, the graduates have no household registration and no oil and grain relationship to rely on, which means that they have studied in college for nothing.
Comparing the two, the government and enterprise units that have independent contacts are of course better. However, these units that have autonomy often have quota indicators, and the number of graduates they recruit each year is limited, so competition arises accordingly.
Chen Lanjun's grades were above average. Given that she had previously acted as a bridge between Mingde University and the Fourth Food Factory and organized the first college student creative advertising design competition, which brought Mingde University great publicity, the department leaders and school leaders had a good impression of her.
With good teacher-student friendship as a foundation, the school fully respected Chen Lanjun's opinion on graduation assignments.
"Next, I will announce the employment destinations of this year's graduates..."
On the stage, the teacher from the assignment office read out the names of the people one by one. One name, one unit, in just four or five seconds, might affect the future of many people.
The students waited with bated breath, and when their names were called, some smiled, some frowned, no one could agree on what to say.
Finally, the department of electronic engineering, where Chen Lanjun was studying, was called. The dormitory head gently pushed Chen Lanjun's arm, signaling her to listen carefully.
"Chen Lanjun, your destination is Pengzhou University."
The dormitory head muttered quietly: "Pengzhou University, is it in Pengcheng City? There is a university in Pengcheng City?"
Chen Lanjun nodded: "Yes, it's newly built."
Chen Lanjun thought about the issue of career prospects for a long time.
The business of Zhengmei Group and the Fourth Food Factory is now booming. Just as my sister expected, it is indeed a good choice to take over and manage the company's business.
However, Chen Lanjun still wanted to try the feeling of working in a formal nine-to-five company.
The reason was simple: she had never experienced this before, so she wanted to give it a try. She would stay in the company for two or three years, get familiar with it, and then follow the trend of the times and resign to start a business.
Now that she has made this plan, she needs to think carefully about what kind of unit is suitable for her.
First of all, the location of the unit must be in Pengcheng City. Her family is now in Pengcheng City, so she has to sign her household registration there to make the whole family complete. In fact, the basic industries of Zhengmei Company are all there, so it is convenient to handle business while working. Xiangjiang is also very close, so it is convenient to handle business there and meet someone.
Secondly, I need to have some free time in this unit, otherwise my leader will go crazy after just two days.
Then, it would be best if she had some status so that she could get in touch with different people, which would help her expand her business and build her network.
After a long inventory, Pengzhou University finally became my favorite.
Last year, Pengzhou University was announced to be established and held its opening ceremony, just when a large number of talents were needed.
Thanks to the times, Pengzhou University came to the old and famous Mingde University to recruit people; also because there was not yet an oversupply of college graduates, she, an undergraduate student, was able to work alongside the faculty of Pengzhou University - although it was just a small position.
The best part is, she still has a summer vacation!
Pengzhou University was officially established, but the campus was still digging and digging, and it would take until September to get the registration card. It was really wonderful that she could have three months free to spend the important node of the Olympics.
After the graduation assignment meeting comes the finale of the entire university experience - the graduation ceremony.
As the first college student in the family, Chen Lanjun once again enjoyed national treasure treatment.
Mother Zheng Mei, father Chen Zhisheng, along with older sister Fengjun, younger sister Zhujun and niece Xixi, took a train from the south to attend her graduation ceremony.
"Look at the back of my clothes. Is it wrinkled?" Zheng Mei twisted her body and asked Chen Zhisheng.
"No, it's shiny and very pretty." Chen Zhisheng smiled and pulled the hem of her skirt for her. "Don't be so nervous. It's my second sister who's graduating, not you."
"It's because she graduated. As parents, we can't embarrass her." Zheng Mei poked his forehead with her finger, "Put on your tie. I'll go check if my little sister's clothes are neat."
The whole family ordered new clothes and celebrated the occasion as if it were Chinese New Year.
The whole family walked on the campus with their heads held high, surrounding Chen Lanjun who was wearing a bachelor's gown, which was also a beautiful sight.
After taking graduation photos, we went to the department leaders to help with the budding.
My parents and others stepped aside and waited for this significant moment with other parents. My younger sister Zhujun had a camera hanging around her neck, pointing it only at Chen Lanjun, eager to finish the film.
When the ceremony was about to begin, the sound of a truck was suddenly heard. Everyone turned their heads and looked - a truck loaded with bouquets of flowers was parked in front of the door of the small hall.
A teacher jumped out of the car and said with a big smile: "Students, this is a graduation gift specially prepared for the graduates. Everyone will get a bouquet of flowers."
The flowers were distributed one by one. It was rare to receive flowers at graduation these days, and the students were very happy. When it was Chen Lanjun's turn, the teacher asked her name twice, then turned around and took out a bouquet from a box: "This is yours."
In fact, Chen Lanjun already had a vague premonition in her heart, but when she looked down and saw the greeting card hidden between the petals, she couldn't help but smile.
The familiar handwriting is obviously from Shao Qinghe.
"Happy graduation. I hope I can graduate from you soon."
