Xu Tangcheng threw two packs of buy-one-get-one-free Lay's potato chips into the shopping cart. Hearing YiZhe's words, he forgot to take his hand back when he turned his head.
"Dropped out?" After being surprised, he quickly reacted to what was wrong, "Wait a minute, he has such a good relationship with Chengxu?"
"not sure."
Yi Zhe almost conveyed Zheng Yikun's words as they were, and only erased the words "primary principal" and "your partner" on his own initiative. He watched Xu Tangcheng keep his brows in silence after these two questions, not sure if he should complete the missing information so as not to affect Xu Tangcheng's judgment.
"What are you thinking?" He asked tentatively, and by the way, he reached out to the shelf, grabbed the mouths of two bottles of yogurt, and picked it up.
"I think... I'm finally going to meet the legendary Zheng Yikun." Xu Tangcheng bent down slightly and took out the yogurt that YiZhe had just thrown into the shopping cart, "Did you tell him?"
The words were not very detailed, and YiZhe didn't understand it all at once, and immediately asked, "What did you say?"
Holding the yogurt, Xu Tangcheng raised his index finger and thumb, pointed at him, and pointed at himself.
"Oh," YiZhe understood and explained, "No, he found it himself."
Xu Tangcheng didn't look surprised this time, just nodded calmly, as if he was completely expected.
Today, he wore a woolen cotton jacket, warm light brown, with a beige lamb wool collar, which is YiZhe's favorite outfit. Xu Tangcheng's clothes tend to be simple and clean. The coat is basically a slightly loose short style, mainly in solid colors, most of which are not gorgeous, gentle and soft, just like his character.
And after this conversation with many words hidden, Xu Tangcheng didn't know what to think, he turned his head to the side of the freezer briefly, and smiled.
Moment of less than a second. As if his ears automatically rejected the voices of the surrounding people, YiZhe could hear the humming sound of the freezer.
He suddenly wondered if he should buy a camera.
If he was given time, YiZhe felt that he could probably stare at the person in front of him for days and nights, because in his opinion, every position on Xu Tangcheng's body was special.
For example, now, when he turns the yogurt bottle in his hand, the white light from the freezer shines on his fingers. The collision of the two whites, mixed with a layer of water droplets formed by cold and heat, has become a very soft scene.
The fingers look better than others, the broken hair droops, and the exposed head is cuter than others.
People's cognition is sometimes capricious and rude, and only rampages towards their sweetheart.
Thinking like this, without paying attention, the corners of YiZhe's mouth have already risen. Xu Tangcheng happened to look up, and when he saw it, he asked him strangely, "What are you laughing at?"
The yogurt was put in again by Xu Tangcheng, YiZhe pushed the shopping cart back and forth, the wheels of the cart rubbed against the ground and polished the smooth floor tiles. Pushing the cart back and forth, the frequency is close to that of the school days, suddenly being approached by someone I like, holding the pen nervously in the wet air, the index finger is unconsciously bent, and the soft pad on the pen holder is rubbed.
He didn't speak for a long time, Xu Tangcheng raised his hand to touch his arm, and asked with a smile, "What about you, what are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing," Yi Zhe said, "Happy."
Weird and childish. Xu Tangcheng watched him for a long time, and finally whispered, "Stupid or not."
After paying the bill, as usual, the two people divided the things into two bags on the seat. YiZhe threw a box of chocolates into Xu Tangcheng's share, and Xu Tangcheng immediately took it out: "I don't eat chocolate, it's easy to get acne."
"Oh, then give it to me," YiZhe flipped through the bag, "I'll give you the biscuits."
Xu Tangcheng often stayed in the laboratory for a day, and Yi Zhe thought that if he was hungry, he could eat at any time, so as not to feel sick to his stomach.
The weather was very good that day. Although it was winter, when I came out of the supermarket, the sunlight outside broke through the cold wind, and there was no distance between people and the sky.
"Actually, it may be that I am preconceived. When I heard you mentioned Zheng Yikun before, he always gave me the impression that he was very..." Xu Tangcheng tilted his head and paused, "Very shrewd person. But Cheng Xu is actually very special and simple. , I always thought he was like a child."
I agree with this remark. Zheng Yikun doesn't seem to be straight, but he actually understands it in his pocket. So he nodded and agreed: "Indeed."
Afraid that Xu Tangcheng would be worried, Yi Zhe thought about it again and added, "But others are not bad."
"I believe," Xu Tangcheng looked at YiZhe, "the friends you can make are probably good people."
YiZhe was stunned for a while, then took a few more steps, only to realize that this was an affirmation. Turning his head to ask a few more questions, he saw Xu Tangcheng rubbing his eyes.
"Did you sleep well last night?" he asked immediately.
"I slept alright, I went to bed after good night with you, and didn't get up until eight o'clock." Xu Tangcheng opened his arms slightly to the back, and stretched his waist indistinctly, "Maybe it's easy to get sleepy after lunch. "
"Then don't go back to the laboratory, go back to the dormitory and sleep for a while."
But Xu Tangcheng shook his head: "The dormitory is too far away, I'm too lazy to run."
The laboratory is near the west gate of the school, and the distance between it and the dormitory is almost the maximum distance in the entire campus.
"You're going to sleep in my dormitory?" As soon as the words were silenced, he was sneered at, and YiZhe immediately reflected, "Forget it, it's not very suitable, right?"
Xu Tangcheng looked at him with a smile, but said nothing.
"Then I said I would take you by bike, but you don't want to."
Listening to his complaint, Xu Tangcheng couldn't help but put a hand on the shoulder next to him and lowered him: "You deliberately bought a car without a back seat for me?"
YiZhe leaned towards him, stubbornly: "I didn't mean to..."
The words of explanation were interrupted by a female voice, and two leaflets were stuffed into the hands of two people.
"Are you thinking of applying for a card? Our new package is now a one-year discount period. Let's find out." The girl with a stack of leaflets walked backwards with them while introducing the content of the discount package. The speed of speech is fast, and there is no chance of interruption at all.
YiZhe didn't give any reaction, just pursed his lips and listened with the flyer, but Xu Tangcheng stopped after the girl said a few words and waited for her to finish.
It was about standing outside for a long time, and the girl's cheeks were red from the cold. She always had a sweet smile on her face, but had to pause a few times in the middle and sniff.
After her introduction, Xu Tangcheng smiled and nodded at her, saying that he would take a good look. I don't know if it was a routine process, but the girl flipped through the blue vest with the words on it and took out two small stacks of post-it notes, saying it was a small souvenir for them.
The two left, Xu Tangcheng took a post-it note and handed it to Yi Zhe, but Yi Zhe said, "It's in the shape of a flower."
Hearing his dislike for the shape, Xu Tangcheng had to put it all in his pocket, but YiZhe grabbed his hand and stopped a bag, saying that it could be used. Xu Tangcheng was too lazy to pay attention to him, and continued to look at the flyer in his hand seriously.
Yi Zhe wondered, "What do you want to do?"
"No, but the little girl sent it out in the cold weather. Let's see, if you are tempted to do one. 3g..." Xu Tangcheng dragged a long note, then thought of something, and turned to YiZhe with a smile, "You said that How long does it take to change 3g to 4g?"
"I don't know." YiZhe answered honestly.
China entered the 3G era in 2009. For more than a year, this concept has not been fully understood by people.
Xu Tangcheng read the front and back of the leaflet, and then folded it neatly corner to corner, guessing: "I don't know much about this piece, but I always feel that 3g will not last for a long time, and it will be soon when the 4g standard is set."
The road to the laboratory is still very long, and along the way, the two chatted about this matter intermittently. Just a sophomore year, Yi Zhe didn't know much about the major, and most of the content he only knew came from the teachers' chatter in class, so most of the time he was asking questions and Xu Tangcheng was answering.
While chatting, Xu Tangcheng suddenly asked Yi Zhe, "Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"
YiZhe's first reaction was naturally the thought from a long time ago. Then read, read the same major as him.
"Actually, I think it's cool to standardize in the future, you can think about it." Xu Tangcheng didn't seem to be discussing future development with him, his tone was a little joking, as if he was just telling an interesting story, "I am a Senior brother is doing standardization in a foreign company. Do you know that there is a 3GPP meeting? They will attend that meeting. He told me a while ago that it is basically held once every two months. If you are a tourist city, you can go out to play after discussing and discussing.”
"so good?"
"Well, but I don't think it will be in the future. It took so many years to formulate the 3g standard, and 4g is no longer the case. After 4g, it will be upgraded again. It is estimated that it will become more and more leisurely."
People have been sparing no effort to promote the development of technology, and innovation is happening every day. There are countless choices, possibly countless, and no one knows how long a lead can last. Just like the industry giant Qualcomm, it also made a declaration, giving up the UMB research and development that it has always insisted on, and completely turning to LTE. It is inevitable that people will become both leaders and followers of technology at the same time, to speed up the pace and to get thinking every day.
As for the meeting that may no longer be leisurely, and the gradually accelerated standardization process, Xu Tangcheng really said it. This was verified a few years later.
On the night of dinner with Zheng Yikun, Xu Tangcheng drove over. Cheng Xu was not at school during the day, so there was only one Yirut in the car. The two entered the lobby one after the other, and Xu Tangcheng saw Zheng Yikun and Cheng Xu sitting by the window at a glance. However, the posture of the two people at the moment made him pause without noticing - Zheng Yikun put one arm on the back of the chair behind Chengxu, leaning over, while Chengxu was leaning towards the window, avoid him.
Cheng Xu found them first, and immediately waved with his neck outstretched. Zheng Yikun immediately turned around, he smiled here, but his posture did not change at all. After Yi Zhe and Xu Tangcheng sat down, Zheng Yikun turned around and sat down to greet Xu Tangcheng.
"I don't care what YiZhe calls you," he introduced and shook hands, and Zheng Yikun handed over a menu, "Brother Cheng, let's see what to eat, don't be polite to me today, just order whatever you want."
Xu Tangcheng smiled and moved the menu to Cheng Xu: "Cheng Xu, let's see, I won't pick."
Cheng Xu quickly shook his head: "You order, I don't know how to order."
A menu was handed over, Zheng Yikun took it and threw it to Yi Zhe: "You order."
YiZhe glanced at him, lowered his head, opened it, and placed it between himself and Xu Tangcheng.
When ordering food, no matter what Zheng Yikun and Cheng Xu were asked, the two answered "yes", but in Xu Tangcheng's view, the same word has different meanings.
Chengxu's character is like this, Zheng Yikun probably doesn't care what he eats for the meal.
Just after the recipe was confirmed, Xu Tangcheng was about to tell the waiter to order, but Zheng Yikun suddenly reached out and cut off the menu he was about to return to the waiter.
"I'll add one more." He flipped through the menu and smacked his lips, "I'll give my elementary school principal some condensed milk steamed buns."
Cheng Xu on the side immediately pushed his glasses: "I don't want it."
Zheng Yikun ordered the pattern on the menu and said to the waiter again, "Small steamed buns with condensed milk."
Xu Tangcheng sat opposite Cheng Xu, confused by the phrase "primary" and the condensed milk steamed buns.
"No," Cheng Xu was still stopping, "I ordered too much, I can't eat it."
"I eat."
Regardless of his protest, Zheng Yikun accepted the menu.
Xu Tangcheng glanced at Yi Ze, just in time to meet his gaze. Seeing YiZhe pursing his lips and hesitating to speak, Xu Tangcheng understood that YiZhe's title of "Primary Principal" was hidden and unreported.
Zheng Yikun is a very talkative person. When he met Xu Tangcheng for the first time, he could naturally find out a lot of questions that he could discuss with him. A few people chatted, and Yi Zhe naturally asked Zheng Yikun's future plans. What surprised Xu Tangcheng and Yi Zhe was that Cheng Xu didn't know that Zheng Yikun had dropped out of school.
I don't know if she was choked by the pepper or was too surprised, Cheng Xu suddenly started coughing violently after hearing the phrase "drop out", her face flushed red. Zheng Yikun handed him the paper while "ouch", filled a glass of soy milk and pushed it to him.
Cheng Xu poured half a cup, then turned her head with tears in her eyes and asked, "Why did you drop out of school?"
Zheng Yikun has heard this question many times, but when Cheng Xu asked, he still patiently said, "I wasn't meant to study."
"As for my dad, he's a nouveau riche. He has so much money that he can't spend it. The only regret in this life is that he feels that he is not literate, so he forced me to take the A major with a stick." He took a sip of wine and laughed, " He asked me to take the test. Anyway, he promised me that he would give me as much money as I could if I was admitted to A University, and I would make money. I could also satisfy his vanity by the way, so that he would be happy, no loss. "
"But I don't necessarily read it if I get admitted."
Of course, this approach is not mainstream. YiZhe and Xu Tangcheng have long known about dropping out of school, and their acceptance is relatively strong at the moment, but Chengxu has just been hit by this news, and naturally has a brain problem.
"Then won't your father tell you?"
"Why do you say me?" Cheng Xu looked at Zheng Yikun with strange and shocking eyes, but in turn, Zheng Yikun looked at Cheng Xu with a strange look, "I don't tell him, and he doesn't know. If I tell him, It's not about me, he can kill me."
How can you not know
Cheng Xu felt that something was not right, but his thoughts were suddenly blocked, and he did not understand why it was not right. Xu Tangcheng glanced at him and asked for him: "You can still know if it's not finished. There are records on the Internet. Also, don't you have your graduation certificate when it arrives?"
"Ouch," Zheng Yikun smiled and lowered his head, "It's said that my dad is a nouveau riche, how could he know that he can check online, I don't know how to check it. I don't even know how to check his diploma or degree certificate. Besides, I'll show it to him then, there are so many fake certificates, can I still get a graduation certificate?"
These words startled the three people at the table, and three pairs of eyes stared at the person who was going to apply for a false certificate.
Zheng Yikun tapped the table with his fingertips and explained to them, "As for me, I will go home on time during the winter and summer vacations. When I graduate, I will show him a diploma and tell him that I have found a job in Beijing. The treatment is not bad, do you think he will hold on until he has nothing to do and suspect that I dropped out of school?"
At that time, in the world that Xu Tangcheng came into contact with, Zheng Yikun's behavior was definitely outrageous, if not shocking.
Nine years of compulsory education is of course a good thing, but in an era when information horizons are not open and broad, many people are confined to a comfortable and simple growth environment. Lost goal. Learning becomes a habit, not a thoughtful act.
Xu Tangcheng didn't know what Zheng Yikun would work hard to achieve, but he was very sure at that time that this person would get the life he wanted.
Although Yi Zhe was also shocked, he only came up with a very simple idea - people are different.
He didn't actually have much interest in the things that Xu Tangcheng talked to him during the day, but he could see that Xu Tangcheng was really interested in things related to this profession. He can experience the fun, and it is also the fun of the rut. Therefore, although YiZhe felt that what he was learning now was boring and abstract, he never thought of changing the status quo. After all, he wasn't very interested in anything either.
But Zheng Yikun is different. He is not interested, so he will not leave any way out for himself, and he is not even willing to perfunctory his studies.
