Chapter 512 Xiao Dong'er: I never look at how much money is in the card. I can’t spend it all anyway!

Downstairs of a girls’ dormitory at Peking University.

Xiao Dong'er walked out of the dormitory building surrounded by her five roommates. They saw dozens of boys waiting in front of the dormitory building. They were no longer surprised and walked towards the school gate without stopping.

As a result, before they had taken a few steps, someone blocked their way.

The person who blocked the way was an ordinary boy with an ordinary appearance, the kind that you would not be able to find in a crowd. He stopped in front of the six girls, looked at Xiao Dong'er, showed a confident smile that he had practiced dozens of times in front of the mirror, and greeted in a gentle voice: "Minister Deng!"

"Fuck, who is this?"

"This guy is really brave. He dares to approach the school beauty even though he looks like this?"

"His name is Wu Hai. He is the director of the External Relations Department and one of the suitors of our school beauty."

"Oh, it's him. I heard that his family is quite well-connected. Is that true?"

"It should be true. If his family didn't have a good background, how could he be worthy of pursuing the school beauty with his appearance?"

"That's true..."

When Wu Hai jumped out to greet Xiao Dong'er, the boys started talking behind his back.

Li Fu stared at Wu Hai, who had gotten there first, with a depressed look on his face. He had been secretly in love with the campus belle for three years. Although he had never confessed his love to her, he had investigated every competitor who was strong enough.

Wu Hai, the director of the External Relations Department, was semi-openly pursuing the school belle, so he had naturally investigated it.

Today he finally mustered up the courage to ask the school beauty out for dinner, but now Wu Hai jumped out first. So no matter whether the other party can get a date with the school beauty or not, Li Fu can only change the time. This made him so angry that his teeth were itching.

This is a long story, but it actually happened in a flash.

"Minister Wu!"

Xiao Dong'er greeted the other party politely, and then asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Wu Hai said with a smile on his face: "Minister Deng, I would like to invite you to dinner and talk to you about some arrangements for the cultural evening for the fifth anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China. Is it convenient for you?"

Xiao Dong'er said, "No need to treat me to a meal. We sisters have an appointment. As for the cultural evening party for the fifth anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China, you shouldn't talk to me. Our Propaganda Department is only responsible for publicity and promotion. As for how to organize the party and how to arrange it, you should talk to the Cultural Department."

Wu Hai's smile remained unchanged, and he said, "Minister Deng, it's like this, I think this evening party should be hosted by you, you have such a good image and temperament, if you host this evening party, there is no need for too much publicity, you will definitely be able to attract all the students in the school."

Xiao Dong'er smiled politely, then refused without hesitation: "Forget about me hosting, professional matters should be left to professionals. If I have nothing else, I will go to eat with my sisters first. Excuse me, thank you!"

Things have come to this point. Wu Hai naturally understood that there was no hope today. However, he was not discouraged. After all, this was not the first time he had failed. In fact, no boy in the whole school had been lucky enough to have a meal alone with the school belle. It was no wonder that he failed.

Therefore, Wu Hai accepted the result immediately, said a polite word, and turned away.

Seeing this scene, all the boys present were in a good mood.

Although most boys know that they are not qualified to touch the school beauties, they are still happy to see other boys fail in front of the school beauties.

Li Fu was happy, worried and angry. He was happy that the school belle rejected other boys without hesitation. He was worried that he might become one of them. He was angry that Wu Hai disrupted his plans and forced him to temporarily stop his test plan.

In fact, Li Fu was not the only one who temporarily suspended his plans. There were also several boys in the crowd who had originally gone to meet Tang Yun, Liu Jingjing, Jiang Mo, Yang Huijuan, Chu Junyao and others, and they were also forced to cancel their plans.

After all, the school beauty said that the six sisters had made an appointment to have dinner together. Anyone who rushed forward at this time would probably end up being rejected.

After watching the six school beauties leave, Li Fu pinched the two "Seeing the Hell" movie tickets in his pocket, planning to take them back and give them to his roommate, asking him to take his girlfriend to watch the movie!

…

Xiao Dong'er naturally didn't take this little episode to heart. Since the day she entered Peking University, she had encountered too many similar approaches in the past three years. She could see through their little thoughts at a glance, but she just pretended not to know.

Anyway, she always rejects anyone who publicly confesses his love to her.

She never gives a chance to those who confess their feelings in a roundabout way, and as long as other people don't tell her about their secret crush, she pretends not to know.

Not only Xiao Dong'er herself didn't take it seriously, even Tang Yun and the others were used to it. After all, more and more people confessed their love to them in the past three years, so they were able to handle such situations with ease.

Half an hour later.

Xiaodong'er and a few others came to the Lameizi Hotpot restaurant which is the closest to Peking University. This was not their first time here. This was the hotpot restaurant that they visited most often for dormitory gatherings, so they were all very familiar with it.

They found a seat, ordered a spicy meal, and each chose their favorite side dishes. Then Liu Jingjing paid the bill.

When the six sisters go out for dinner, they have basically reached a consensus on taking turns to pay the bill over the past three years.

They certainly wouldn't go with the AA system, although it's actually quite common among students, but they felt it was too formal, so they chose to take turns treating each other, which is not much different from the AA system, but seems more humane.

Anyway, the most important thing in interpersonal communication is give and take, so that the relationship can last long. One cannot just give blindly. That may not matter in the short term, but it will definitely cause problems over time.

When they started eating, Liu Jingjing was very satisfied with the authentic spicy hotpot. She said, "What makes me happiest about coming to Beijing to study is that I can eat our Sichuan-style hotpot at Lameizi. It's really comfortable!"

Tang Yun smiled and said, "Jingjing, I have to say that your Sichuan cuisine tastes really good. Sister Li and I both like it!"

Jiang Mo swallowed the fragrant mutton and agreed, "It's really good. I like it too. We can have more dinners here."

Yang Huijuan suddenly sighed with some sadness: "This semester is over, and we will be seniors next. If we exclude the time for internship, the opportunities for us sisters to have dinner together will probably become fewer and fewer. After graduation, it will be difficult to see each other again!"

The girls were not happy when they heard this. Except Xiao Dong'er and Tang Yun who were from Guangxi, the others were from different provinces and cities.

Once you graduate, it would be nice if you both work in the same city so you can see each other from time to time.

If you don't work in the same city, it's really not easy to meet each other because you are so far away from each other.

Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Xiao Dong'er said with a relaxed look: "Don't worry, everyone. Transportation in our country is becoming more and more convenient. Even if we don't work in the same city in the future, it won't be difficult to meet each other."

Yang Huijuan just sighed for a moment, and didn't want to spoil everyone's interest. She smiled and agreed, "Sister Li is right. Transportation is becoming more and more convenient. Not only are there more and more cities with flights, but trains have been speeded up four times in just a few years. Traveling will become more and more convenient in the future.

If we really don’t work in the same city, then we can just meet up regularly!”

"Sisters."

Chu Junyao looked at the sisters in front of her and said, "I guess your family has arranged where you will work after graduation, or you already have a plan, right? Although the six of us sisters have never talked about our family situations in the past three years, based on my observation, our families should not be bad."

Liu Jingjing waved her hands quickly and said, "Sister Yao, my family conditions are quite ordinary, and I can't compare with you guys."

"Jingjing, there's no need to be so modest in front of us sisters, right?"

Chu Junyao skillfully shabu-shabued the mutton while smiling, "Although I have never asked you, based on my observation, the living expenses your family gives you every month should not be less than one thousand yuan, right?"

"Sister Yao, I didn't realize you have such a keen eye for observation!"

Liu Jingjing looked at this Beijing girl who usually looked carefree with surprise. She didn't expect her observation to be so meticulous. She nodded and said, "You guessed it right. My family gives me exactly one thousand yuan a month for living expenses.

But I was right just now. My living expenses are indeed not comparable to yours."

Jiang Mo couldn't help but reply, "Jingjing, I'm actually about the same as you. My family only gives me twelve thousand yuan a month for living expenses."

Tang Yun swallowed the tripe in her mouth and said, "I'll give you fifteen hundred."

Yang Huijuan followed suit and said, "I have two thousand."

Chu Junyao smiled and said, "I make a little more than you, three thousand a month."

Then, the five of them looked at Xiao Dong'er at the same time.

Xiao Dong'er blinked and pretended to be stupid: "Why are you looking at me?"

"What do you think?"

Chu Junyao looked at her best friend who was both beautiful and good-looking, and said, "Among the many sisters in our dormitory, I can more or less guess about the family backgrounds of the other sisters, but I can't guess your family background at all. I only know that your family background must be the best among the six of us sisters, but I really can't guess to what extent."

Yang Huijuan, Jiang Mo and Liu Jingjing all looked at Sister Li curiously. They were all elites who were able to be admitted to Peking University, so their IQ was beyond doubt. After getting along with each other for three years, they could naturally see that Sister Li's family background was definitely the best among the sisters.

As for how good it was, they couldn't guess it just like Chu Junyao.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Among the people present, only Tang Yun knew Sister Li better.

After all, the two were best friends in high school, and she enjoyed the same treatment that Sister Li received in school.

Especially in the second year of their high school, which coincided with the school’s centenary celebration, a shocking news was revealed at this centenary celebration. The school’s newly built teacher dormitory building was actually donated to the school by Sister Li’s family.

When the news spread, their class was instantly in an uproar!

Therefore, among all the sisters, Tang Yun’s understanding of Sister Li is indeed incomparable to the others.

Seeing the eager eyes of the sisters, Xiao Dong'er knew she had to reveal something, so she evasively said, "Well, my family doesn't give me a fixed amount of living expenses every month. They just put it in my card. I never check how much money is in the card because I can't spend it all anyway.

In fact, isn’t it the same for you? As long as you don’t spend too much, the living expenses your family gives you are more than enough.”

This is true. It is 2002 now. If you go to Shenzhen to work, the salary in many factories is only four or five hundred yuan a month.

(At that time, Ershe worked in a factory in Longgang, Shenzhen. He was paid 450 yuan a month with food and accommodation provided. He worked twelve or thirteen hours a day. There were seven or eight friends from the same village who entered the factory together. In the end, few of them could hold on. They all ran away within a week.

In less than half a month, there were only three people left, including the second snake.

Ershe held on for more than twenty days, but couldn't take it anymore. It was his first time working and he didn't know anything. He was absent from work for three days, and then nothing happened. He foolishly signed some document and didn't get a penny of salary.

Fortunately, there were two friends from the same village, otherwise Ershe would not even have enough money to go home...) Even in factories with better treatment, the salary of ordinary workers rarely exceeds 800 yuan.

Nowadays, the sisters in their dormitory, even Liu Jingjing who has the lowest living expenses, have 1,000 yuan a month. As long as they don't spend too much, they will never spend it all.

Not to mention that Yang Huijuan and Chu Junyao have a living expense of two to three thousand yuan a month. Without exaggerating, they can't spend all the money even if they have dinner at La Meizi Hotpot every day.

Although what Xiao Dong'er said was the same as if she hadn't said anything, everyone present were elites with extremely high IQs, so they could naturally infer something from what Xiao Dong'er said.

Chu Junyao didn't intend to continue asking, but returned to the question that everyone was concerned about and said, "Everyone, tell us about your plans after graduation!"

Liu Jingjing said: "Let me throw out some ideas. My family hopes that I will go into politics. If nothing unexpected happens, I will probably go back to Sichuan to work."

Jiang Mo said: "My family asked me to make the decision myself. I haven't made up my mind yet. I'll consider it when I'm close to graduation!"

Tang Yun said: "I will go back to my own factory to help out first, and after I have some work experience, I will start my own business."

Yang Huijuan said: "Tangtang, I'm similar to you. I'll go back to work in my dad's company for a while, and then start my own business."

Chu Junyao asked: "Sisters, have you ever considered continuing your postgraduate studies?"

Xiao Dong'er continued, "If you want to pursue academic research, you must continue to study for a master's degree, but if you just want to go back and inherit the family business, or start your own business, then a bachelor's degree is more than enough.

Sister Yao, are you asking this question because you want to continue your postgraduate studies?"

Chu Junyao nodded and said, "I do have this idea. Although a bachelor's degree is enough for most industries, no matter what industry you are in, if your education is higher than others, you will definitely have an advantage.

Sister Li, your grades are so good, don't you want to study for a master's degree?"

Xiao Dong'er said: "I will definitely continue to study for a master's degree, but I will probably choose to pursue a postgraduate degree while working."

Jiang Mo couldn't help but frowned when she heard this and said, "Sister Li, this part-time graduate student doesn't seem to be as valuable as a full-time graduate student. With your grades, isn't it a pity to choose a part-time graduate student?"

Xiao Dong'er smiled and said, "Momo, you should be talking about the in-service postgraduate students who applied for a master's degree through equivalent academic ability, right? The value of this is indeed a bit lower, but the value of an in-service professional master's degree is the same as that of a full-time postgraduate student, and this country also recognizes it.

Because both require the same exam and the difficulty of the exam is the same.

Of course, there are always some companies in society that distinguish between the two and believe that full-time postgraduates are more valuable. This is understandable. Anyway, I don’t work for these companies, so it doesn’t matter to me whether they recognize this degree or not.”

Jiang Mo was surprised and said, "So there are two types of postgraduate students. I haven't really learned about this."

Liu Jingjing showed off another piece of tripe and said with a smile, "We still have a year before graduation. Besides, we haven't thought about continuing to study for a master's degree. It's normal that we haven't learned about it. I haven't learned about it either. If I hadn't just heard from Sister Li, I wouldn't have known that there are two types of in-service postgraduates!"

Jiang Mo was excited and said, "Doesn't this mean that we can also try to take the path of working postgraduate studies?"

The other sisters were also moved when they heard this.

Seeing this, Chu Junyao couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Sisters, I have actually thought about the path of on-the-job postgraduate study and have discussed it with my family, but except for Sister Li, I don't recommend other sisters to take the path of on-the-job postgraduate study.

After all, it is too hard to work and study at the same time.

If you need a postgraduate degree, you might as well stay in school for a few more years and get a master's degree before joining the workforce!"

Xiao Dong'er smiled and said, "It depends on individual needs. For example, Jingjing plans to go into politics, so she can go the route of postgraduate study. The political world is different from the business world. In the business world, promotion is very simple. As long as you have the ability, the boss can directly make you the general manager.

But if you want to get promoted in the political world, there are restrictions on working hours, so it is still beneficial to start working early. You have to study and work at the same time, which is definitely more stressful than full-time graduate students, but the hard work only lasts for a few years, and after that, the world will be open to you.”

In this regard, Xiaodong'er really has a say. After all, her second uncle, third uncle and third aunt are all pursuing postgraduate studies while working.

Today, my second uncle, third uncle and third aunt have all obtained their doctoral degrees as postgraduate students. Including Uncle Man, there are now four doctors in their family.

Chu Junyao agreed: "That's true. If Jingjing wants to go into politics, she can indeed take this path."

Liu Jingjing nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Sister Li’s suggestion made sense. As a part-time graduate student, she should give it a try.
