Chapter 54 Two Postgraduate Entrance Exams

When Xia Ye and Song Xiaoxiao came back and sat down, Lin Yuan said calmly, "There are quite a lot of people queuing for the toilet."

Xia Ye looked embarrassed, but Song Xiaoxiao kept laughing.

Afterwards they ate and chatted, and Xia Ye naturally started talking about the sadness she felt after graduation.

"Every time I apply for a job, I tell them I graduated from a 211 art school, and they look at me strangely."

Lin Yuan wanted to laugh. "Which art student would emphasize that he is from a 211 university? Beijing Film Academy is not a 211 university either."

"Yes. So I didn't even have the opportunity to teach in the training center. People in the training center said: parents won't accept it."

"Nonsense," Song Xiaoxiao continued, "What parent is crazy enough to care about 211 when studying art?"

Xia Ye complained, "Why do you think our school has an art department? Isn't that harmful to people?"

"You can't blame the schools. The industrialization of education is a common phenomenon. There are so many universities and majors, just like so many papers. There are too many redundancies."

Xia Ye was stunned for a moment, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable about Lin Yuan mentioning the thesis.

Instead, Song Xiaoxiao explained, "Don't be surprised. He just talked to me about macroeconomics, the tertiary industry, the gap between the rich and the poor, and so on. This is a major form of entertainment for many men, just like us girls like to follow entertainment gossip."

Lin Yuan quickly understood what Song Xiaoxiao meant. She had obviously listened to her customers talk about international political changes during her service, so she was well versed in this.

Lin Yuan laughed, "There are keyboard warriors all over the world. But it is still helpful for individuals to really understand some international trends."

Song Xiaoxiao deliberately picked a fight, "How can I help you?" If Xia Ye hadn't been there, she would have asked, "Will it help you deliver the food better?"

Lin Yuan naturally responded to her question, because it was precisely because of his shallow understanding of the pulse of society that Lin Yuan did not follow his family's advice to apply for the civil engineering major when filling out his high school application.

Many people of the previous generation in Lin Yuan's hometown went out to work on construction sites. They seemed to have an incomparable obsession with "making a living by working with their own hands". What they often said was "making a living by working with their own hands, it's down-to-earth."

If Lin Yuan really applied for the civil engineering major in 2020, he would be completely screwed. No matter how badly he did in Tangcheng Institute of Technology, he was still a computer major. As a civil engineering major, he had no basic knowledge of computers. Even if the computer department of Zijin Aviation School accepted civil engineering graduates, Lin Yuan would have even more difficulties.

But Lin Yuan didn't want to reveal that he was a graduate student of Zijin Aviation School. He was very curious, if he was really just a delivery man, what would Xia Ye do. Because from Song Xiaoxiao's persuasion to quit, it was clear that Xia Ye had some interest in him. Otherwise, why would she reveal it and say, "Brother, let me introduce you to a sister."

"Okay. I also graduated from college. I said that even though I am in a low position, I still dare not forget to worry about the country. Do you believe it?" Lin Yuan said this for no reason.

Song Xiaoxiao immediately replied, "You should just eat the vegetables."

On the contrary, Xia Ye was very happy to hear this, "You are an undergraduate, which school are you from?" Because a bachelor's degree will obviously make it easier to find a job, and it will be more conducive for Lin Yuan to leave the takeout industry.

"I'm from the Computer Science Department of Sugar Land Institute of Technology."

"College of Engineering, majoring in computer science, undergraduate..." Xia Ye murmured, "Have you ever tried to work in this field?"

"I worked in an outsourcing company for a while last year, working overtime every day. After I became a regular employee, I only made seven or eight thousand yuan, and that was before tax. I was doing something that didn't make any progress and I didn't see any hope. So I started working in the delivery business." Lin Yuan did not lie about this. He was almost vomiting when he worked as a CURD engineer in an outsourcing company.

"Are you planning to give up your major in the future?"

"Not really. I'm just delivering food for a while. Like you, I plan to take the postgraduate entrance exam."

"Then where do you want to take the exam?"

"Take the exam at your alma mater."

If we don't consider the timeline, Lin Yuan's words are not a lie. He did choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination because of life's pressure, and he did want to apply to Zijin Aviation School. However, he has already been admitted.

Xia Ye said seriously, "Then you have to work hard. It's very difficult to pass the postgraduate entrance examination in our school." Seeing Xia Ye's look as if he saw hope, Song Xiaoxiao's face was dark, "Originally, one fool wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and now two fools want to take the postgraduate entrance examination."

"Let's work together." Lin Yuan raised his teacup towards Xia Ye and deliberately glanced at Song Xiaoxiao in protest.

Xia Ye came over with the cup in hand, and spilled the tea in excitement, "Let's work together, come on!"

After the meal, Lin Yuan picked up the bill very gentlemanly and tried to pay.

"I've paid by scanning the code." Song Xiaoxiao said lightly.

"Okay, then I'll treat you to milk tea."

"No, I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you two who are preparing for your postgraduate entrance exams." Song Xiaoxiao picked up her bag and walked out of the restaurant without looking back, looking like she was busy with business.

Xia Ye was left alone and immediately felt a little shy. Unfortunately, Lin Yuan had no experience in getting along with girls.

"Then... I'll treat you to milk tea?" Lin Yuan had no choice but to continue the topic of treating you to milk tea.

"Let's go to the store where I work. There are employee discounts." Xia Ye is also slowly adapting to a frugal life.
-
The sunset was a little late in summer. Song Xiaoxiao called a special car and rushed to her battlefield in the setting sun.

Lin Yuanze and Xia Ye, holding their slender shadows, strolled on the way to the Jiufen sweet milk tea shop.

The wind in late August was very hot, even in the evening. The heat wave made him sweat, and the sweat was filled with body fragrance. The body fragrance penetrated into Lin Yuan's nose with the wind, making him feel refreshed.

This was the first time the two of them had taken a proper walk, and in order to find something to talk about, Lin Yuan naturally brought up the postgraduate entrance examination.

"When do you plan to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination?" This year's postgraduate entrance examination had just ended, so Lin Yuan asked Xia Ye when she planned to prepare.

"I have been preparing all the time. But if I don't take tutoring classes to apply for Ziyi, I will have no hope at all, so I worked three jobs."

"Are you saving for tuition? Then how much money are you short?"

Xia Ye opened his Alipay and WeChat accounts and sighed casually, "I have asked about the tutoring classes before, and the 58888 package is the most suitable for me. There are three months of evening classes before the exam, and the last month is a closed-door training. During the three months of evening classes, I can continue to work part-time during the day. So I have to save enough for the course fees, as well as the living expenses during this period, especially the living expenses for the last month of closed-door training in a hotel."

Lin Yuan thought for her, "During those three months of evening classes, you couldn't have worked part-time during the day like you do now. You had to dance at night and teach dance during the day. Dancing all day long is too much for even an iron man."

Xia Ye then looked dejected, "Yes, but I don't do part-time dancing. If I do other part-time jobs, like working in a milk tea shop, I have to stand all the time, which is also very tiring. If I don't do part-time jobs, it will be a four-month off-duty period. If the living expenses are 2000 yuan per month and 5000 yuan in the last month, then I have to prepare nearly yuan."

Lin Yuan added, "And you also have to look at the time of Ziyi's postgraduate entrance examination. If it's early, you may only have a window of five or six months. That means after deducting food and drink every month, you need to have a surplus of more than 12,000 yuan. And this is based on your frugality in the next few months."

Some things can be fantasized about without being weighed, but cannot stand up to scrutiny at all if they are weighed.

After listening to Lin Yuan's analysis, Xia Ye lowered her head and looked at the road. "Actually, I know this myself. I make 220 yuan a day teaching dance, and 75 yuan selling milk tea for three hours at night."

"What?" Lin Yuan exclaimed, "You only get 220 for one day of tutoring?" Lin Yuan wanted 200 an hour in the first week of tutoring, and when he quit, the parents directly offered him 400 an hour. But Xia Ye only got 220 a day, which Lin Yuan couldn't stand.

"I teach one class in the morning and one in the afternoon. I get 100 yuan for each class, so 200 yuan for two classes. There's also a 20 yuan allowance for miscellaneous matters. Oh, by the way," Xia Ye added, "they also provide a lunch."

Lin Yuan looked at Xia Ye, blinking her big eyes and looking at him seriously, "How is the lunch inside?" Lin Yuan was teasing her on purpose.

But Xia Ye was still very serious, "The food is very good, with a small kitchen built by ourselves, and there is milk tea every day."

Lin Yuan saw Xia Ye's eyes light up when she mentioned milk tea, so he said unhappily, "It seems like you enjoyed it very much, so why are you complaining?"
