At the graduation ceremony, after the principal gave a speech, he issued graduation certificates, degree certificates and graduation gowns to all graduates, and then the graduate representatives came on stage. When Zhang Hong and Zhu Guanglin saw Lu Chengyu go on stage without even taking the manuscript, they were stunned for a moment. They didn’t expect that the graduate representative chosen by the school would be their roommate.
Applause broke out immediately, and the girls’ applause was especially enthusiastic. For the girls, Lu Chengyu had a good appearance and a good personality, and he usually respected them. Such men had always been admired by girls, so as soon as he came on stage, he received unending applause.
“The applause from you ladies is so enthusiastic. I wonder if I will be beaten by the male compatriots after I step down from the stage. Please be gentle. If my boss finds out that I have become so ugly that it affects the company’s image, he will definitely fire me,” Lu Chengyu walked onto the stage and made a scared expression, which made the whole audience laugh. The male compatriots’ envy, jealousy and hatred also disappeared, because they were afraid of their bosses and worried about their jobs just like him. This kind of resonance could easily make people dispel those negative emotions.
“I feel honored and worried to be selected as a graduate representative. I am very grateful for the trust of teachers and classmates. As one of the graduates, standing on this podium, I think back to the four years in college,” Lu Chengyu talked about his past in college with a faint smile on his face. The big auditorium gradually became quiet. Many people recalled the past four years with him, which was their last relaxing time.
Following Lu Chengyu’s speech, many people suddenly realized that there were so many wonderful memories in their four years of college. Once they stepped out of this campus, they would become a member of society and become busy with life. No one knew whether their future would be ordinary or magnificent, but these four years of college would always exist in its own time.
“Human life is a long river with an end. What we have to do is to let this long river pass through as many beautiful places as possible. So that when the river dries up, we will not have too many regrets when we recall yesterday. Today is the last time we sit in the auditorium of Q University as students, but we will always be Q University students. What is the motto of Q University?”
“A gentleman should always strive for self-improvement!” Someone below answered loudly.
“Yes, a gentleman should always strive for self-improvement, and he should strive for victory or defeat. I wish all the alumni here a broad life full of self-improvement!”
Most of the representatives of previous batch of graduates brought manuscripts to the stage to read. So when the school leaders saw Lu Chengyu go on stage empty-handed, they were still a little worried. But after listening to Lu Chengyu’s speech, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded secretly in their hearts. The representative they chose this time had good mental quality and good looks. There would be no girls complaining at the school forum this time. Saying things like the representatives at the graduation ceremony were always people who seemed to have crawled out of the bottom of a wine bottle such that their faces could not be seen clearly, right?
After Lu Chengyu finished speaking, he bowed to the audience, and then bowed again to where the teachers were sitting, and then he walked down from the stage calmly and walked to his seat.
Q University was a famous university in China, so every year the graduation ceremony would receive much attention. Some media would even find some photos of handsome men and beautiful women wearing bachelor’s gowns and put them on the official Weibo to increase the exposure of the official Weibo.
So when Lu Chengyu stood on the podium, there were girls taking a lot of photos of him. After the graduation ceremony, it was time to take a class photo after leaving the auditorium, and then the graduates could take photos by themselves.
Zhang Hong and Zhu Guanglin took photos of everyone who came forward to take a photo with Lu Chengyu without complaint. It was okay for girls, but why did those boys also come to join in the fun?
After finally dealing with a large group of people, Zhang Hong and Zhu Guanglin hung on Lu Chengyu’s shoulders weakly, and Zhang Hong sighed: “Old Three, if this goes on, the two brothers will be envious and jealous. You are the public enemy of men.”
“We have been together for four years, don’t you know me?” Lu Chengyu looked at Zhang Hong with a face full of resentment, “You are the most important people to me.”
“F**k, I’m sick of it,” Zhang Hong and Zhu Guanglin pushed Lu Chengyu away at the same time and saw that even his posture of falling to the grass was better than others, and they cursed at the same time, “Damn!”
Sitting cross-legged on the grass, Lu Chengyu looked at the two middle-aged couples waiting not far away. They were Zhu Guanglin and Zhang Hong’s parents. He knew that the two were afraid that he would feel uncomfortable without his parents, so they stayed with him. Even when he was not doing well in his previous life, the two of them had helped him a lot.
He smiled at the two of them, took off his bachelor’s hat and said, “Uncles and aunts are here too, go and accompany them to walk around the school, I, the winner in life, will continue to take photos with the beauties.”
Zhu Guanglin wanted to say something, but Zhang Hong spoke in advance. He smiled and said, “Okay, without us two green leaves, let’s see how beautiful your flower will be.”
“Go, go, go,” Lu Chengyu climbed up from the grass and patted the grass on his clothes. “Have you never heard of the saying that gold shines everywhere?”
After the two of them left, Lu Chengyu sat under the shade of the tree with his graduation certificate and degree certificate, leaning against the tree trunk, with the cold grass under his butt. He stretched his legs and looked at the men and women on the grass with smiles on their faces, and his smile faded a little bit.
Occasionally, someone came to sit down with him to take a photo, and he agreed with a smile. These people came over nervously, and then left with a smile. Only he sat in the same place without moving.
Because the other shades of trees were full of people, if he left, he won’t be able to occupy a place when he came back. On such a hot day, the shade of trees was a good place.
Enjoying the summer breeze, listening to the laughter and noise around him, Lu Chengyu stretched leisurely, looked at the bright sun outside the shade of the tree, and began to close his eyes to rest.
With his eyes closed, his hearing seemed to become more acute, so when he heard someone walking to his side, he opened his eyes.
“Boss?” Lu Chengyu blinked and looked at Yan Mu, who was squatting in front of him with two bottles of cold drinks in his hands. He was a little surprised, “Why are you here?”
Q University was so big, how much coincidence did it take for Yan Mu to find him sitting under a tree?
“I just passed by and saw you sitting under the tree,” Yan Mu handed the water to Lu Chengyu, “It’s cold.”
“Thank you,” Lu Chengyu took the drink, unscrewed the cap and took a sip, which immediately relieved a lot of the summer heat. Seeing Yan Mu still squatting in front of him, he asked, “Is the matter done?”
Yan Mu nodded: “Yes, we have cooperated before.”
“Is the company going to enter the field of biology?” Lu Chengyu thought about it. There were many applications in biology, and many industries linked to biology. However, this kind of initial investment was large, and there were still certain risks, but the return was also very high.
“Just try it first,” Yan Mu sat down like Lu Chengyu, “mainly electronics and real estate.”
If it involved real estate, the relationship with the upper level must be strong enough, otherwise it was still difficult to make a move in this area. Lu Chengyu remembered the previous conversation between Yan Mu and Second Uncle Yan, and immediately understood since the Mu family was a first-class family in Beijing. Yan Mu had such a background, a sharp vision, and a hard hand. No wonder Huading became the leader in the business circle later.
“The entertainment industry is developing very fast now. If the boss is interested, you can consider developing in this direction,” Lu Chengyu shook his drink nonchalantly. “Although it is not as profitable as real estate, it is also a development idea.”
Yan Mu looked at the certificate that Lu Chengyu put aside, “Entertainment industry?”
“Yes, investing in movies or TV series,” Lu Chengyu said with a smile, “As long as you invest in a good script, sometimes it is low investment and high return. There are also women’s series of products, which are all very profitable industries.”
“Huading will not be involved in the entertainment industry. It is not suitable.” Yan Mu shook his head. Lu Chengyu reacted. Although Huading’s momentum was gradually declining, it had the backing of the Mu family. If it became involved in the entertainment industry, it would really have a taste of self-depreciation. Although Lu Chengyu thought this idea was nonsense, the concept of the older generation was probably that the entertainment industry was not so serious.
“But I will consider private investment,” Yan Mu saw that Lu Chengyu didn’t say anything, then thinking that he was unhappy because he rejected his idea, he said, “I don’t think the entertainment industry is bad.”
“The entertainment industry is not that good,” Lu Chengyu raised his eyebrows indifferently, “But it doesn’t matter as long as the money is good enough.”
“Well,” Yan Mu’s eyes fell on the certificate again, and after hesitating for a long time, he said, “I’ll take a few photos for you.”
Lu Chengyu was stunned, and for a moment he didn’t know what to say.
“Don’t take photos?” Yan Mu looked at Lu Chengyu with a wooden face, touched the watch on his wrist, and fell silent.
“Thank you,” Lu Chengyu handed him the phone, put on the bachelor’s hat, smiled and took the certificate and walked a few steps away, “Take a picture of me and make me look handsome.”
Yan Mu nodded, picked up the phone and took pictures of Lu Chengyu. After taking a few pictures, their photo location began to move and they began to take pictures in other corners of Q University.
“We’ve taken so many photos, let’s take a photo of just the two of us,” Lu Chengyu took the phone and was about to ask a passing classmate to take a photo, but he found that the phone was low on battery and automatically turned off the camera function, “It’s dead.”
A black phone was handed to him, “Mine has power.”
“Okay, remember to send me the photo when the time comes,” Lu Chengyu took the phone from Yan Mu, and saw a junior school girl walking over. So he stepped forward and smiled gently, “Junior sister, please do me a favor.”
The junior school saw that the person who was talking was wearing a bachelor’s gown and knew that he was a graduate. After taking a closer look, she immediately said happily, “Senior Brother Lu?” She saw a man standing not far away and thought he was Lu Chengyu’s relative, so she agreed immediately.
Lu Chengyu walked to Yan Mu’s side, put his arm around his shoulders, and made a V to the camera. As for Yan Mu, the corners of his mouth moved, but he still looked serious.
The junior sister took a photo with Lu Chengyu before leaving happily. Lu Chengyu then took off his graduation hat and gown and wiped his sweat: “This weather is really hot. Let’s go have lunch. There are many delicious restaurants near our Q University.”
Just then, he saw Liang Deyou and Chen Jin walking towards this side from the opposite corner.
Yan Mu found that his face was not right and followed his line of sight. Unfortunately, there were many people on the road, and he didn’t know what Lu Chengyu was looking at.
