"One hundred million...eighty-nine thousand five hundred?"
Looking at the numbers on the text message reminder, Liu Jiaxin thought she was dazzled, so she couldn't help rubbing her eyes with her hands, and counted them carefully a few times. After making sure that she had counted correctly, she raised her head with a confused expression and used Xingyan looked at Xu Chuan.
"This this........"
Seeing the cute expression on his senior sister's face, Xu Chuan couldn't help but smile, handed back the bank card in his hand, and said: "The total bonus for this tungsten diselenide project is 170,000 yuan. Nine thousand, if you take half of it, it will be eighty-nine thousand, five hundred.”
"Then... no, that... no, didn't you say before that the bonus wasn't much?" Liu Jiaxin asked anxiously.
When she first heard that the bonus was not that big, she thought it was only one or two thousand yuan. How come it suddenly became hundreds of thousands?
"Is it much?"
Xu Chuan took a sip from his drink and continued: "My mentor's tungsten diselenide project will create a market worth billions upon successful completion, and relying on this project, he can earn millions or even tens of millions." bonuses, in addition to various incomes such as patents, which are worth seven or eight figures every year.”
"In comparison, do you still think a bonus of more than 100,000 yuan is much?"
Hearing this, Liu Jiaxin opened her mouth and looked at Xu Chuan in disbelief. With a market worth billions and an income of tens of millions, she actually participated in such a scientific research project?
Shaking his head, Xu Chuan took this opportunity and said: "You have to know that the most profitable thing in the world is always the realization of knowledge, relying on the brain, not cheap labor."
Hearing this, Liu Jiaxin's fair cheeks turned red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Seeing this, Xu Chuan changed the subject: "Of course, I'm not saying that part-time work like cleaning tables is not good. It's normal for people to have difficulties. I used to work part-time too, but what should I say?"
After pondering for a moment, he continued: "I'm just saying that doing this kind of part-time job, or working after graduating from college, don't you think it's too cheap and wasteful compared to the knowledge you have in your mind?"
"I know your financial situation is not very good and you may be short of money, but I don't want you to give up your studies because of your current predicament."
"You have the ability and talent to go further on the academic road. I hope you read a lot of books, walk long distances, stand at a higher place, and see unprecedented scenery."
"By the way, I remember that you got bonuses and grants. It should be about ten or twenty thousand yuan every year, right? These should be enough for you to go to college?"
Halfway through, Xu Chuan suddenly asked curiously. He knew that this senior had scholarships and grants. Although ten or twenty thousand yuan was not much, it was definitely enough to support her going to college.
The annual tuition fee for NTU’s Mathematics Department is RMB 6,000. Poor students can also apply for free tuition. This senior’s tuition must have been reduced.
With the character of this senior, it probably wouldn't cost much to eat or anything like that. As for girls spending a lot of money on makeup, he glanced at Liu Jiaxin. Not to mention makeup, she didn't even have lipstick, so that aspect was ruled out.
"I also have a younger sister who just graduated from high school." Liu Jiaxin whispered.
"Shouldn't your sister's study be your parents' business?" Xu Chuan asked.
Liu Jiaxin shook her head: "They passed away a few years ago."
Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Sorry."
No wonder she had to work part-time in the school cafeteria every night even though she received generous scholarships and grants; no wonder she had such a great talent and had no idea of taking the postgraduate entrance examination to further her studies. It turned out that the burden of the entire family fell on her.
And under such circumstances, it is really rare to be able to stand out and win first place in the extremely competitive National College Student Modeling Contest, or even the All-American College Student Modeling Contest.
Whether it's talent, hard work, or the courage and tenacity to face all difficulties silently, everyone appreciates and admires them.
Although poverty makes people sympathize, the hard-working life of poverty is even more awe-inspiring.
........
The senior sister treated her to a meal, and Xu Chuan also returned to school and found his tutor Chen Zhengping to go through the enrollment procedures.
That's right, it's the admission procedure.
Just because he graduated from NTU does not mean that he will leave NTU.
When he was first admitted, NTU signed a direct doctoral training program with him, and there was no master's degree program. In other words, he would study for a doctoral degree directly after graduating from undergraduate degree, and he would not be fully graduated until he completed his doctoral degree at NTU.
As for studying abroad, it has nothing to do with it.
He received his doctoral diploma from Princeton, which is also recognized by NTU. When the time comes, remember to come back to hold a replacement graduation ceremony and issue the certificate.
Xu Chuan is not worried that he will not be able to graduate from Princeton. His current achievements in mathematics are enough to serve as a professor at Princeton.
"Oh, by the way, teacher, I have something else to trouble you with." In the office, Xu Chuan suddenly remembered another thing and said to Chen Zhengping.
"Huh? What's the matter? If you have anything to say, just say it." Chen Zhengping asked with a smile.
"Well, I've graduated from my bachelor's degree. Can I borrow a degree uniform from the school and take a photo as a souvenir? Although I only studied in college for one year, I still went to college after all."
Xu Chuan smiled and scratched his head and said, although he graduated early, he still graduated seriously. After entering university and graduating, if he doesn't put on his bachelor's uniform and take a photo as a souvenir, he will not have any photos to remember him in the future.
The last life is a matter of the last life. In this life, I have to keep it in my mind. I also have my parents and sister. After graduation, I have to show them how I have grown.
"Oh, this, no problem. I'll call the logistics department and you can just go and get it."
Chen Zhengping smiled, picked up his cell phone and called the logistics department, and it was settled in just two sentences.
"Go ahead, the logistics department knows where it is."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhengping asked with a smile, and added: "Call your master Xiong Fan Pengyue. I remember he seems to have a SLR in his hand and ask him to take a graduation photo for you."
Xu Chuan nodded and dialed Fan Pengyue's number without any courtesy.
In addition, the nickname of his senior brother, Master Xiong, is probably dead, as the instructors have started calling him this.
.........
After going to the logistics office to get his bachelor's uniform, Xu Chuan followed the master Xiong Fan Pengyue as he ran around, checking in at various attractions in the school.
Master Xiong is very good at taking graduation photos. He graduated with a doctorate this year. From master to doctor, he stayed at NTU for a total of seven years. He saw off college students one after another. He knew exactly where and what to use. Posture and angle to take the best graduation photos.
Although Master Xiong is a tall and thick man, his skills in taking photos are really good.
However, this high-profile effort attracted many students from Nanjing University.
After seeing that he was taking graduation photos, the seniors and seniors of NTU, no, I should say juniors, came over one after another, took photos together, and asked for autographs.
Some of them took pictures with their mobile phones, and without even editing the pictures, they just threw their scarves away and, almost, they went to Moments.
"Holy shit, is this the God of Sichuan?"
"Kawagami has finally graduated."
"It's so scary. As a poor student in the same class, I am still having a headache with calculus, but the master has already graduated."
"I feel completely calm. I even feel like crying."
"Hahahahahahaha, look up to the sky and laugh three times. This big boss finally no longer worries us college students. Now it is the turn of the graduate students to tremble."
"The graduate student said it doesn't matter. Anyway, this senior has a direct degree and is not a graduate student at all."
"Gan, I'm studying for a PhD in applied mathematics. I'm under a lot of pressure. I hope my graduation thesis won't be canceled directly like Mr. Cai."
"Laughing to death."
"Cai Peng:......"
.......
After the photo was taken, Xu Chuan clicked on Weiwei, opened 'Love each other as a family', and sent his graduation photo to the group.
Soon, the group became lively.
Uncle: "Is Chuan'er taking an artistic photo?"
Cousin: "Dad, you have some knowledge, okay? This is a graduation photo, a college graduation photo!"
Uncle: "How do I know? You didn't show it to me."
Auntie: "Your cousin graduated from college in one year. You didn't even get into college. It's embarrassing."
Cousin: "......"
Third Uncle: "Nephew Chuan, has he graduated from college? But I remember, didn't you just go to college last year?"
Xu Chuan: "Well, I graduated early."
Third Uncle: "Are you going to work so early? Have you found a place to work? How about Third Uncle, let me introduce you to one?"
Xu Chuan: "......"
Just when I was about to answer that I wanted to continue studying and not be in a hurry to find a job, a call came on my phone. It was a prestige video call from my father.
Xu Chuan connected to the video, and Xu's father's head was reflected on the phone screen. His hair was covered with cement dust and gray, and behind him was a new house under construction in his hometown.
"Hey, Chuan'er, what do you mean by the photo you posted in the group?"
The familiar rough voice made Xu Chuan couldn't help but smile.
"Dad, I graduated from college. That is the bachelor's uniform that all graduating students wear. I took a photo for you to see."
"Oh, but aren't you just a freshman? Don't you have to study for four years in college?" Xu's father asked doubtfully.
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "I graduated early because I proved a mathematical conjecture and earned all the credits, so I graduated from college early and am going to study for a Ph.D."
"That doesn't have any impact on you, right?" Xu's father asked hesitantly.
He didn't understand what Xu Chuan said, nor did he understand what mathematical conjectures and credits were, but he was concerned about whether graduating early would have an impact on Xu Chuan.
"It won't affect me. I'll go back in two days." Xu Chuan said with a smile. He was about to go abroad to study at Princeton, but he might only come back once or twice a year. While he was still in the country, he wanted to go home more often. have a look.
"Yeah, okay, be careful on the road. I'll ask your mother to kill two chickens and ducks and make you your favorite stir-fried duck."
Hearing that Xu Chuan was coming back, Xu's father had a smile on his face.
From the side, a big head squeezed over and glanced at the camera. It was Xu Siji, a bricklayer from the same village.
"Hey, it's Xu Chuan, when will you be back?"
Xu Chuan smiled and said hello: "Hello, Uncle Si Si, I'll be back in two days."
Uncle Siji from the same village was stunned for a moment, and said with a hearty smile: "Okay, remember to bring a girlfriend back. You can find a girlfriend now that you are in college."
Xu Chuan was embarrassed and said: "It's still early, Uncle Siji, I haven't reached the legal age of marriage yet."
Xu Siji smiled and said: "It's too late to wait until the marriage age to talk about it. You are now eighteen and have been in college for four years. It's almost enough to find a girlfriend and talk about going to college. You can get married when you graduate from college. My friend's child is a college student. I got married right after graduation, and now my child is over two years old, so you can do it too."
Xu Chuan:..........
To be honest, I have graduated from college now.
So I really can’t get married after graduating from college because the country doesn’t allow it.
.........
ps: Report status, good news, my body temperature is stable, my energy has recovered a lot, and there are no two lines in the antigen test, but my throat still hurts, so I took some throat lozenges and medicine.
Illness comes like a mountain, and goes away like a thread. It will definitely take time to fully recover. I hope everyone will pay attention. It is really uncomfortable to be infected.
There should be another chapter in the evening. I will try to resume the second update. I may have to wait for two more days if I owe rewards to the leader and elders.
