Wen Ruan, watching from the side, felt a bit amused and exasperated.
Wen Ruan then inquired about various aspects of her academic credentials. As she was a student jointly trained by Tsinghua University and the London School of Economics and Political Science, she would receive master's certificates from both universities.
After receiving confirmation from Professor Lin Qingyou, Wen Ruan had a general idea of what was going on and prepared to complete the relevant procedures.
"What are your plans after you come back?" Lin Qingyou got up, found a cup, and poured Wen Ruan a glass of water.
Wen Ruan quickly stood up and took it: "Yes, I have some ideas."
"I felt pretty good working under Teacher Wang Qing before, and I was thinking that if I had the opportunity, I would like to continue working under Teacher Wang Qing." Wen Ruan nodded.
Lin Qingyou lowered his head and took a sip of tea: "Well, although 'Old-fashioned Wang' has an average personality, his professional skills and qualities are absolutely no problem. You will definitely learn a lot from him."
"He looks old-fashioned, but he's full of cunning inside," Lin Qingyou added.
Wen Ruan could only smile and not dare to reply. The two were very close. They were classmates who studied in France together back then, and were even bunkmates. They had gone through a lot of hardships together. Even now, despite their busy schedules, they still get together whenever they have the chance.
After confirming Wen Ruan's idea, Lin Qingyou gradually felt relieved. Various phenomena were emerging, and people's hearts were in turmoil. Especially after the "reform and opening up" and the liberalization of business operations, many people had some ideas and were going to "go into business".
I've heard that many of his former students have already quit their jobs and are preparing to start their own businesses.
Lin Qingyou didn't think going into business was bad, but he always felt that he had a lot of talent and knowledge. After so many years of training by the country, he hadn't been able to shine in his field of study. Instead, he had blindly ventured into a field that he was unfamiliar with, or even completely unfamiliar with. He felt regretful and very confused.
Fortunately, Wen Ruan did not have this idea. Judging from her appearance, it seemed that she wanted to work hard in this diplomatic career, and Lin Qingyou gradually felt relieved.
It felt like more than a year had passed since they last met. When Lin Qingyou saw Wen Ruan again, he felt that she had changed a lot. This was Lin Qingyou's first impression.
Her entire demeanor became more serene and peaceful. It was unclear what she had experienced during her time abroad, but it seemed that all the restlessness she had previously displayed had been washed away. She sat there with neither arrogance nor servility, exuding a firm and powerful aura unintentionally.
Lin Qingyou nodded secretly, his heart and eyes filled with satisfaction.
"Okay, go back once you're done. I have a class to attend later."
"Don't forget to visit your teacher, Wang Qing, when you have time."
"That old-fashioned guy has been talking about you several times since you left, saying that you have talent and that he will be very satisfied with the things you want to do with him. You don't need to worry," Lin Qingyou told Wen Ruan, reassuring her.
Wen Ruan nodded her thanks and then said goodbye to Lin Qingyou.
After leaving the office building, as she passed the girls' dormitory, Wen Ruan wondered how Zhao Xiaoyan and Dong Ya were doing. Judging by the time, they should be seniors now and have been assigned to internships. She wondered which companies they had gone to.
Wen Ruan silently murmured to herself.
But sometimes, people just can't help it. Wen Ruan had just arrived at the girls' dormitory building, wondering if Dong Ya and the others had changed dorms, and was thinking about whether to go upstairs to check, when she heard a familiar, excited voice: "Ruan Ruan!"
Wen Ruan looked up and saw Dong Ya. She was immediately delighted: "Sister Ya!"
Dong Ya went straight up and hugged Wen Ruan: "When did you get back?"
"I just got back last week, I haven't been back for more than a few days," Wen Ruan answered truthfully.
"Are you busy later? If you have time, let's go have dinner together? I'll go and call Xiaoyan to come along," Dong Ya suggested.
Wen Ruan smiled and nodded, agreeing to Dong Ya's suggestion.
Wen Ruan felt that Dong Ya had changed a lot since she last saw her. Not only had her clothes become very fashionable, but her personality also seemed to have changed drastically. In the past, she was introverted and reserved, and sometimes she would be shrouded in a faint gloom. Wen Ruan couldn't quite put her finger on what kind of temperament it was, but it was always somewhat complicated.
But now, Wen Ruan can no longer see the complex temperament she used to have; she has become much more cheerful.
It was obvious to the naked eye that her temperament had undergone a huge change, which made people somewhat surprised by her transformation.
Dong Ya led Wen Ruan around, stopping frequently. When they passed a small shop, he said he called Zhao Xiaoyan to tell her that Wen Ruan was back and that they should have a meal together at their usual spot.
Wen Ruan sensed that the two of them might often dine together, and she was also curious about where their "old haunt" was.
After walking for a while and taking two bus stops, the two arrived at their destination for dinner.
Wen Ruan looked up at the signboard, which read "First Encounter". She found the name interesting, even a bit unlike the name of a restaurant, and couldn't help but become interested.
Seeing Wen Ruan's reaction, Dong Ya immediately understood what she was thinking.
Because everyone who comes here to eat for the first time is intrigued by the name of this private restaurant.
So he said somewhat embarrassedly, "This is a private restaurant, and it's quite famous in Beijing now."
Wen Ruan nodded upon hearing this, but she didn't quite understand the meaning behind Dong Ya's expression.
“This shop is owned by Chen Jianwei,” Dong Ya added quietly.
