Chapter 344 Graduation
In the deputy minister's office, Liu Delai sat on the sofa, drinking tea slowly, glancing at Lan Guoqiang who was busy at his desk from time to time, sighing "Ah" from time to time.
Lan Guoqiang was fully focused on handling affairs and ignored Liu Delai at first. However, Liu Delai's sighs one after another disturbed people and made it impossible for them to work with peace of mind.
"Oh!" Another long sigh.
Lan Guoqiang finally raised his head, looked at Liu Delai, and said helplessly: "If you have any questions, you might as well speak up."
Liu Delai put down his teacup, sat up straight, and began to talk incessantly. He counted the great achievements Lan Ximeng had made since she came to the department. Each and every one of them had won honor for the department and enabled the department's performance to exceed expectations this year. He spoke eloquently and for a long time, but in the final analysis, the core meaning was that he hoped Lan Ximeng could stay and continue to work for the department.
"I can't make this decision. This is Xiaomeng's own choice." Lan Guoqiang also wanted Xiaomeng to stay, but he couldn't let his daughter give up her dream for the sake of his job.
"Oh." When Liu Delai heard this, he knew there was no room for recovery. He slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, shook his head and sighed as he walked out of the office.
Lan Ximeng returned to her room and her eyes fell on the computer. The internship is about to end, and the class group is becoming more and more lively. However, looking at the familiar group member list, a hint of sadness welled up in her heart. In a group of 30 people, five of them can no longer send messages. Their avatars are forever dim, silently telling of the impermanence of the world.
Lan Ximeng's thoughts drifted back to the time she spent with those classmates. Their smiles and voices seemed to still echo in her ears. But now, they are separated by the Yin and Yang, and life seems so fragile and vulnerable at that moment.
At this time, the computer prompt sounded, it was a message from Wei Huaiyu.
Wei Huaiyu: Is the internship over?
Lan Ximeng: Well, it’s over. When will you be back?
This year, Lan Ximeng was busy carrying out missions everywhere, and Wei Huaiyu was also busy at work, so the two of them were rarely together. It is said that "things far away are fragrant, while those near are smelly", but Lan Ximeng's longing for Wei Huaiyu becomes stronger and stronger, and her heart is full of anticipation for the day when he returns.
Wei Huaiyu: It will be soon. I will be able to rest next month. Wait for me to come back.
Lan Ximeng: Yes!
It was a simple conversation, but it was filled with the two people's deep concern and longing for each other. Lan Ximeng looked at the screen of her mobile phone, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her eyes flashed with anticipation.
Because of the internship, Lan Ximeng and Alice have not been in contact for a whole year. She couldn't help but wonder to herself, how is Alice doing now? Are you also working hard for your dreams like me?
In contrast, she maintains daily contact with Wang Chunlei and Julia. Both of these friends chose to continue their studies without internships.
As for the situation of other high school classmates, Lan Ximeng had also heard about it.
Hu Yong is currently interning in a small government unit and is busy running errands every day. Coincidentally, Zhang Xin and he were in the same office. It is said that in order to show themselves in front of their leaders, the two always took the initiative to ask for more work tasks. In just one year, the pressure of life seemed to have left traces of vicissitudes on their faces, and their former youthful vitality seemed to have been completely worn away.
Like Wang Chunlei, Huang Zhize chose to continue his studies. I heard that he invented a new type of weapon on his own with his talent, and this achievement was noticed by a scientific research leader in the Federation, who took him as his disciple.
As for Liu Yi, there has been no news since he started his internship. I heard that he was taken away by his father, who is a big leader, for secret training, and may develop in the Orc galaxy in the future.
Lan Ximeng was not very familiar with the other classmates and did not pay much attention to them. But a high school classmate found her and apologized to her during his internship. He said that the riot on Tianquan Star four years ago was caused by his father, and he only found out later that Lan Ximeng almost met with an accident because of this incident.
If this classmate hadn't mentioned this matter, Lan Ximeng would have almost forgotten about it. Her thoughts instantly returned to the Ocean Star, and she thought of the three little friends who were like the "Little Mermaid". She wondered how they were doing now.
I must find time to go see them again and take a good look at the ocean stars. There are also mechanical stars and forest stars, and she wants to explore them.
On May 26, 2030, Lan Ximeng once again boarded a flight to University Star. This time, it was of special significance because it was her last time to step into the university campus as a student.
"Sister Lan, it's been a long time since we last met. You are still as beautiful as ever!" Zhou Miao stood in front of the classroom with a bright smile on her face, and greeted Lan Ximeng enthusiastically.
After not seeing each other for a year, Zhou Miao's temperament has changed dramatically. The gentle aura of the girl next door is no longer there, replaced by the perseverance and courage unique to a soldier. Every look and every movement reveals confidence and competence.
"Long time no see, you look more powerful now!" Lan Ximeng smiled and patted Zhou Miao's shoulder. Touching her taut muscles, she could feel that she had had a fulfilling and meaningful year, and the experience in the army had made her grow rapidly.
Zhou Miao also imitated Lan Ximeng, patted her shoulder gently, with a look of surprise on her face. She didn't expect that in a seemingly safe place, Lan Ximeng had never relaxed her training and her strength had improved a lot. "You too!" she exclaimed sincerely.
At this time, other students who had returned also came forward to greet Lan Ximeng. During this year, everyone has experienced a lot. Everyone has grown and transformed on their own path, and great changes have taken place. Although Lan Ximeng still looks a little childish on the outside, she has become more mature and determined on the inside.
"Everyone put on your school uniforms, let's go downstairs to take graduation photos!" The class monitor counted the number of people carefully, and except for those students who would never come back, almost everyone in the class was there.
With the shutter button pressed, a graduation photo captured this moment. What is different from the past is that this time there are fewer people in the photo, and the empty spaces seem to be regrets that cannot be filled in one’s heart.
"Goodbye!" everyone said softly, their eyes full of reluctance. They all knew that after graduation they would go their separate ways, and it would be extremely difficult to get together again in the future.
After taking a group photo with the Special Operations Department, Lan Ximeng hurried to the Game Major. The classmates here had been waiting for her for a long time, "Xiao Meng, here, here, your clothes." Ou Yi took out a pink Hanfu and handed it to Lan Ximeng.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Lan Ximeng took the Hanfu and quickly walked to the bathroom to change clothes. She felt a little guilty and also a little touched, touched by her classmates' understanding and waiting.
"Not bad!" the students said one after another. There are nearly 40 people in their class, and 20 of them are interning at Lan Ximeng's company, including Ou Yi. As employees, they are full of gratitude to Lan Ximeng. They all hope to grab such a good job opportunity and hold on to Lan Ximeng's thighs. They hope to continue to stay in the company after the internship and work hard for their dreams with her.
Soon, another group photo was taken. This photo marks Lan Ximeng's official graduation.
Holding her graduation certificate in her hand, she was reluctant to leave the school and followed the crowd into the starship. From then on, everyone embarked on their own path, moving forward in different directions, to write their own wonderful life.
