June 26th.
It was sunny and windless.
At Jiangbei University.
As the sun rose, the usually quiet Jiangbei University started to get busy.
Jiangbei University, which had been established for 82 years, had gone through many ups and downs. Graduation ceremonies had been held one after another.
Except for the anniversary celebrations, no graduation ceremony had received as much attention as this one.
There was no other reason than the addition of Li Dong.
The richest man in Hua Xia, the head of a billion-dollar group, a philanthropist, a leader of national enterprises …
All these titles were attached to Li Dong. Any one of them was worthy of attention.
Of course, Jiangbei University didn't care about these things. What they really cared about was the title of Jiangbei University's fresh graduate!
Have you heard that the richest man was a fresh graduate?
Capital University and Qingmu University were so awesome. Did any of them have a fresh graduate who was the richest man?
For this, Jiangbei University had created a miracle.
It didn't matter how long Li Dong had been in the university or how good his studies were. What mattered was that Li Dong was a serious student and didn't drop out of school.
That was enough!
Now that the richest man, Li Dong, was about to graduate, Jiangbei University certainly couldn't miss the last good opportunity for publicity.
In the future, even if Li Dong came to the university again, he would be an alumnus.
It was different this time. He was still a student.
No matter how awesome an alumnus was, it was a career after graduation. It was of some help to the university, but not too much.
On the other hand, if a fresh graduate made a name for himself, it wouldn't be a problem for the school to take credit for him, no matter what.
As the sky gradually brightened, the voices in the campus gradually became louder, and the atmosphere began to become lively.
…
North Gate Dormitory Area.
Dormitory 351.
A few years ago, Dormitory 351, as the residence of a Guru, had attracted many people's admiration.
At first, people in Dormitory 351 welcomed them warmly.
But as time went by, Li Tie and the others were annoyed and often refused to see them.
After a few times, the number of people who came gradually decreased.
Except for the freshmen who came for a look when they first entered the university, gradually, Dormitory 351 became a dusty memory.
People, even legends, as long as they were alive, the place where they lived was worthless.
When Li Dong died one day, perhaps Room 351 would become famous again.
It was just past seven.
The dorm room that was usually abnormally quiet, or rather, dead silent, was suddenly filled with banging sounds.
There were only Li Tie and Zhang Hao in the dormitory.
In the past four years, 351 had experienced a lot.
Compared to the other dorm rooms, Room 351 was full of ups and downs.
First, there was Li Dong, who was famous all over the country. Then, there was the first university student to be expelled in a few years. Some were good, some were bad, some were praised, and some were demoted. It made the rest of the people in Room 351 feel that they had been through a lot.
After Li Dong left, Meng Qiping also moved out, and then Yuan Qingfeng also moved out.
Right now, nobody in 351 would say a word for a few days.
At first, Li Tie and Zhang Hao did not pay attention to the sound of the door being smashed. After knocking for a while and seeing no response from inside, they suddenly heard a roar from outside, "Haozi, Old Tie, open the door!"
Zhang Hao opened his eyes in a daze and said, "Fatty is back?"
Li Tie also woke up at this time. He looked at the time and said, "I think so. Open the door."
Today was the last day of their four-year university career. No matter how bad their relationship was in the past, no matter how many conflicts there were, everyone's mood was relatively peaceful today.
Maybe after this meeting, in the next year, two years, or even three to five years, or even a lifetime, it was possible that they would never see each other again.
Everyone went their separate ways and fought for the future. Everything in the university would become a thing of the past.
…
Zhang Hao quickly opened the door of the dormitory.
However, when he saw the fatty in front of him, Zhang Hao could not help but laugh and said, "Fatty, are you … here for a blind date?"
Today, Meng Qiping was dressed like a dog.
He wore a suit and leather shoes, and his shoes were polished. His hair was obviously gelled, which made him look particularly coquettish.
Hearing Zhang Hao's words, Meng Qiping suddenly said discontentedly, "Haozi, do you know what taste is! I'm attaching importance to you, understand? It's the last day. I can't come to the graduation ceremony in my underwear, can I? I'm a successful person now … "
"Okay, okay, Fatty, I can't win against you. Come in, why are you standing outside the door? We're all men, and you expect others to worship you?"
Zhang Hao joked and pulled the fatty into the door.
Before they started chatting, another person came through the door.
Yuan Qingfeng's face was calm. Although he was not dressed as coquettishly as the fatty, he was more formal.
After entering the door, Yuan Qingfeng smiled and said, "You're all here. I thought I was the earliest. Fatty, you're here too?"
Meng Qiping laughed and said, "I just arrived. I didn't expect the officials to come so soon. Not bad, you have a bright future."
The remaining four people in Room 351 each had a bright future.
Yuan Qingfeng had been determined to take the civil servant exam since he was a freshman. Now that he had passed the written test and interview, and there were no problems with the physical examination, he just had to wait for the announcement. It should be a done deal.
On the one hand, Meng Qiping was working Far away, and on the other hand, he had made a lot of money from the fast-food restaurant he opened.
As for Zhang Hao, he was admitted to a graduate school in Shanghai, and his future was promising.
On the contrary, the former class monitor, Li Tie, had not been doing as well as the others in the past few years. He had recently found a job and was doing an internship.
His business was not good, it could only be said to be average.
But no matter what, compared to ordinary people, they could be regarded as successful models.
Four years ago, Yuan Qingfeng was arrogant, indifferent, and even somewhat condescending.
But today, four years later, Yuan Qingfeng had changed a lot. The arrogance on his face had long disappeared. Even when facing Li Tie, whom he hated the most, Yuan Qingfeng could still greet him with a smile.
Compared to other dormitories, the people in Room 351 had a better understanding of the cruelty of society.
Li Dong soared to the sky. He flew so high that people could only look up to him.
Xu Chen had fallen to the bottom of the abyss.
With the bad reputation of being expelled, unless he no longer talked about his experience at Jiangzhou University, Xu Chen was just an ordinary high school graduate.
Among high school graduates, there were some who had made a fortune and some who had succeeded.
But the proportion was too small. If a high school graduate went to look for a job, he would be a step behind others at the beginning. Even if there was a chance in the future, he would have to work ten times harder or even more.
With the comparison between the two, Yuan Qingfeng had been quite emotional in the past few years.
It could be said that he had been able to pass the civil service exam because of the influence of Li Dong and Xu Chen. At least in the interview, he was mature and prudent, which made the interviewer very satisfied and gave him the first place.
If it were in the past, with his arrogant character, he might not have been noticed by others.
They sat down and chatted for a while. As they chatted, Zhang Hao suddenly said with emotion, "It's a pity that Brother Dong and Lil Chen are not here. Otherwise, all of us in Room 351 would have gathered. It's the last day. I don't know if we can get together again in the future. "
Hearing that, Meng Qiping said with a smile, "Didn't Brother Dong come to school today? As for Lil Chen, we can't reach him now."
"How can that be the same …"
Zhang Hao shook his head. Li Dong came as a guest. He might not have the chance to meet them.
Even if they went to the ceremony, Li Dong might not see them. After all, there were a lot of people this time, nearly ten thousand people.
Just this year's graduates, including undergraduates, masters, and doctorates, there were more than six thousand people.
There were also other junior brothers and sisters, school leaders, and foreign guests. There should be about ten thousand people. At that time, Li Dong would not see them at all.
Li Tie also laughed at himself and said, "Don't think about it. He is now the richest man in the country. We are a group of rookies who just graduated. Who will remember who you are? "
Meng Qiping interrupted with a smile, "You can't say that. Brother Dong is still very sentimental. There are many people in our class who work Far away and are doing well. If we really relied on our ability, we wouldn't have been able to make it to where we are now. Brother Dong is too busy. You have seen the news these days. He is running around all day … "
"Fatty, you're a person with vested interests. You're different from us." Li Tie interrupted half-jokingly.
Then he said, "I heard that you bought a house. Is it supported by Li Dong?"
Meng Qiping slightly frowned and said, "Brother Dong doesn't have time to care about these things. I bought it with a loan. Now that the housing price has fallen and my fast food restaurant has made some profits, it's not strange to buy a house with a loan. "
Seeing that the tone of the two was a bit strange, Yuan Qingfeng quickly interrupted, "Let's not talk about this. Dongzi is busy now. That's for sure. But no matter what, we are all classmates and came from the same dormitory. If Dongzi can succeed, we will also be proud. "
Li Tie laughed dryly and didn't say anything else.
He could not afford to offend the current Li Dong, nor could he afford to provoke him.
Not to mention, as Yuan Qingfeng said, they were all from the same dormitory. Maybe there would be a time when he would ask for help in the future.
At this moment, Li Tie somewhat regretted what he just said.
In the past few years, he had a bad mouth. He had resentment in his heart and liked to complain when he had nothing to do. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the worst among them.
Even Zhang Hao, who would graduate from a famous school in the future, would be more popular than him.
Just when they changed the topic and were about to talk about something else, the half-closed door was gently knocked.
The fat man said casually, "Come in."
When he turned his head, he was a little dumbfounded. After a while, he said, "Brother Dong?"
At the door, Li Dong opened the door. He was wearing a sun hat and casual clothes, looking particularly comfortable.
Hearing Meng Qiping's words, Li Dong said with a smile, "I knew that everyone would be here today. I haven't seen you for a while. It's the last day of college, so I have to come back to see you."
At this time, the others came to their senses.
They didn't expect that Li Dong would return to the dormitory at this time.
Since Li Dong moved away, he showed off his skills and became more and more famous day by day.
In his sophomore year, Li Dong never returned to the dormitory.
They didn't expect him to arrive just as they were talking.
Zhang Hao quickly greeted him with a smile, "Brother Dong, I was just talking about you. I was just regretting that you weren't here. I didn't expect you to be here in a flash. What a surprise!"
Yuan Qingfeng also said with a smile, "Dongzi, long time no see."
Li Dong nodded and greeted them with a smile.
At this time, Li Tie also said bashfully, "Dongzi, I thought you were too busy to come over."
Li Dong said with a smile, "I still have some time no matter how busy I am. I was just afraid that it would be too chaotic to have a chance to chat with you. Since we all graduated today, let's have a few drinks tonight. We can't skip the farewell dinner. "
They nodded immediately. Since Li Dong said he wanted to have dinner, of course, they couldn't refuse, and they wouldn't refuse.
After chatting with them for a while, Li Dong felt a little regretful when he saw that they were a little hesitant.
In fact, he was quite nostalgic about his college life. Although he hadn't been to school for a few years, it was always best to get what one couldn't get.
Although he had experienced it once in his previous life, he didn't feel it deeply.
In this life, it was the second time, and he felt it much more deeply than in his previous life. Especially in the later years, when he was always busy, he often missed his college life.
This time, he arrived at Jiangzhou University early. When he returned to the dormitory, Li Dong was full of expectation to see if he could experience the warmth of college.
Now it seemed that he was overthinking it.
They had all graduated. Yuan Qingfeng was a civil servant, Zhang Hao was a postgraduate, and the fatty and Li Tie were working.
They were no longer hot-blooded youths.
It was obvious that they couldn't have that kind of feeling when they were reminiscing about their youth. If they had known this earlier, they might as well not have come. Maybe it would have been more worth remembering.
Without thinking about it, Li Dong chatted with them for a while. Then he asked, "Do you all know where Lil Chen went?"
They all shook their heads. Zhang Hao thought for a while and said, "I contacted Lil Chen last year. I heard that he went to work in the factory, but I don't know the details. Later, Lil Chen changed his number, and he didn't log in on QQ, so we didn't contact each other. "
Li Dong sighed softly and stopped talking about Xu Chen.
Seeing that everyone was being reserved in his presence, Li Dong stood up and put on his hat. He said with a smile, "I still have something to take care of here. Let's talk later. Don't forget to have dinner at the place where we used to have barbecue. The old place. Is it still open? "
Li Tie hurriedly said, "It's still open. We'll wait for you."
"Alright, I'll be leaving first."
Li Dong smiled and waved his hand. He lowered the brim of his hat and left the dormitory.
There were many students coming and going in the corridor, but no one recognized Li Dong, which saved them a lot of trouble.
It wasn't until Li Dong left that the people in the dormitory gradually calmed down.
Originally, Li Tie still had some resentment. He felt that Li Dong was too practical, forgetting about his roommates when he had money, even though their relationship was average.
But now, Li Tie somewhat understood.
Meeting was not as good as reminiscing. The difference in status and identity caused them to gradually drift further and further away from Li Dong.
When they met again, they didn't even know what to say.
With this kind of difference, it was difficult to talk about feelings. Moreover, they didn't have deep feelings for each other in the first place.
Other than Meng Qiping, who was slightly better, even the arrogant Yuan Qingfeng was mostly fawning when he saw Li Dong. That bit of friendship between classmates had already disappeared.
...
While Li Tie was thinking about this, Li Dong was also thinking about the same thing.
However, Li Dong didn't have too much of a reaction. Except for some regrets, it could be considered as an explanation for his university life.
After the farewell dinner, his four years were considered complete.
In the past four years, the path he had been on was completely different from the others. His experiences were also different. It was natural that they couldn't be on the same page.
After going downstairs, Li Dong calmed down. He turned around and walked toward the main gate of Jiangzhou University.
Just now, he came to meet his roommates as a private person. It would be different later. He had to be high-profile.
This was also what Jiangzhou University hoped for. Li Dong understood what Jiangzhou University meant, but he didn't mind cooperating. After all, Jiangzhou University was his alma mater in this life.
