Teacher Chen was her class advisor in college. Although he was her class advisor, Qian Xiao didn't have many opportunities to talk to him. College is not like middle school or primary school. You are an adult now, and you can't expect a teacher to follow you around and give you advice every day.
Most of the students are self-reliant, and their studies depend on their own self-discipline. Qian Xiao is not particularly keen on standing out at school, and she never participates in activities unless they are absolutely necessary.
Her classmates didn't have any complaints about her not fitting in, after all, the age difference between her and them was not small, basically around six years. Which of those self-proclaimed adults would want to play with a child?
Moreover, this child is someone who can outperform most of them academically; they have their pride too, you know.
"Qian Xiaolai? Sit down and let's talk."
Teacher Chen was a middle-aged man in his forties. He wore glasses and exuded a scholarly air. He was of average appearance, but his demeanor made him stand out at a glance.
"You're graduating soon, do you have any thoughts on it?"
"Ah! Waiting to be assigned a job."
What could I possibly be thinking? Of course, I'd go back to my hometown and live a normal life of going to work and getting by every day. I can't stand out too much in the future, because who knows what will happen if someone goes crazy and takes a liking to me and reports me?
Of course, she wants to live a very low-key life. If she could live in seclusion, she would want to go to the mountains and live there until the storm passes before coming out to live again.
Teacher Chen found it amusing. This child is clearly very smart, but he always pretends to be weak while actually being strong. His grades are always within the excellent range, but he never stands out. If he weren't the examiner, he wouldn't be able to see through the trickery.
"There's one spot for staying on at the university, and another for becoming an assistant in the research institute. Don't you want to try and get one?"
Logically speaking, such a good thing should never fall to a student without any background, but the teachers who had taught Qian Xiao all felt that this child was definitely more than just the little bit of ability she had shown. If used in the right place, this little girl would definitely give them a big surprise.
Qian Xiaozhen was genuinely surprised that her teachers thought so highly of her. To be honest, she didn't even have that much confidence in herself. She always believed that, whether in her previous life or this one, she was just an ordinary college student.
She's somewhat outstanding, but definitely not impressive enough to make people stun her at first glance. She sees herself as an ordinary person and never thinks she's much better than others. She's a little clever, but definitely not the kind of person who can do great things.
If it weren't for wanting to avoid the point where she couldn't take the college entrance exam, she wouldn't have been in such a hurry to skip grades and take the college entrance exam. She would have followed the same path as everyone else, going to school, graduating, and getting a job.
After all, although she had lived two lives, in her previous life she was a naive and ignorant newbie who had just graduated from university.
I was born into a very humble background, and my knowledge and experience are not much greater than in my previous life. I may have some cleverness, but I am definitely not as good as those who are truly intelligent when it comes to important matters.
Qian Xiao smiled shyly: "I still prefer to go back to my hometown to work. I'm not that old, and I'd rather live with my family."
Indeed, she is not old. Although her registered age is seventeen, she is only fifteen in real life. However, she has no intention of revealing this.
"Isn't it better to stay at school to learn more and serve the country?" Teacher Chen was a little puzzled. At this age, everyone should be full of vigor and want to show all their excellence, but this person had a different idea.
Of course it would be good, but the world isn't as good as you imagine. If it weren't for that event three years later... she thought her choices would definitely be different.
"No, I'd rather go back to my hometown and stay with my family." Let her be weak-willed then.
Teacher Chen didn't choose to force her or continue lecturing. He had been observing her for a while. This child seemed very easygoing and could do anything, but she was actually a very decisive person. Once she made up her mind, no amount of talking would make a difference.
Everyone has different aspirations, and we can't force them: "Alright, you still have a month. If you change your mind, you can come and find me anytime."
Qian Xiao bowed slightly: "Thank you, teacher." No matter what, the teacher's starting point was for her own good, and she had to accept this kindness.
Qian Xiao walked around the campus. Everyone was in a hurry, and it seemed that she was the only one who was different. Occasionally, she would stroll around the campus and enjoy the scenery along the way.
Sun Kaicheng left last year, returning to his hometown even before her. It is said that he works in a machinery factory in the county town as a senior technician. Although he just started working there, his salary is not low.
Sun Kaicheng said he didn't know how many people envied his job, but fortunately, he was a skilled worker and few people could replace him, so his job was still very stable.
When they have free time, the two of them will meet and talk on social media. Although they are separated by thousands of miles, their friendship has not faded because of this. After all, no matter how far apart they are, they can meet again in another place with just a blink of an eye.
Qian Xiao's desired job is in the same company as Sun Kaicheng's. Of course, if she can get the job, she will be a skilled worker. College graduates like her are the kind of people that technical positions want. It's just a matter of whether she can get what she wants.
Female technicians have it a bit tougher than male technicians. After all, no matter what era we live in, the idea of male superiority and female inferiority is still indelible. However, she doesn't care too much. If things go too far, she'll just use her fists. It's much more satisfying than reasoning with people.
Don't assume that all college students are of high quality. Some are disgusting people who promote feudal ideas and do everything they can to belittle female students. When she first heard it, she almost couldn't hold back and kicked the person away.
If Sun Kaicheng hadn't stopped her, she probably would have finished university much earlier. Afterwards, she put that man in a sack three times in a row to finally relieve her anger. That male classmate behaved himself for more than a year and didn't dare to talk nonsense again.
It was around that time that Qian Xiao and Sun Kaicheng became closer, after all, they had fought together and done bad things together.
That evening, the two met again online, and Qian Xiao told him about the teacher's talk to her.
Sun Kaicheng knew Qian Xiao's thoughts and wasn't worried at all about Qian Xiao leaving him alone in the capital: "Your teacher is quite discerning; he still managed to discover Erdan's low-key intelligence."
Qian Xiao rolled her eyes and said, "I told you not to call me that." If she could beat him, she would have already taught him a lesson. Why is he so annoying? He's already left his hometown, but he can't get rid of this nickname, can he?
