The first contact between the three women passed smoothly and without any incident.
A few days after my birthday, I had my graduation thesis defense.
At this time, the restrictions on graduation defense in the School of Finance are still very loose. Even the defense group is composed of the professional course instructors of one's own class, so there is no need to avoid them.
Unlike later generations, many universities adopt the tutor avoidance system, which disrupts the entire major and then randomly arranges the defense teacher.
Half a month before the thesis defense, the graduation thesis, which has been reviewed and signed by the instructor, has been submitted to the defense committee in triplicate along with the outline, draft, etc. The main defense teacher will prepare questions to be asked based on a careful reading of the graduation thesis.
The main defense teacher will usually ask three questions, and the students will have ten minutes to prepare independently before answering them, which is almost equivalent to an open-book exam.
Thanks to these two unique and relaxed defense conditions, there are very few prospective graduates who fail to get their diplomas. Even a big shot like Zeng Kaiping can pass the defense smoothly.
As for Zhejiang University, it is much stricter. The defense tutors are evasive and require students to answer immediately without any preparation time.
So, it's okay to just hang around in the School of Finance, but not in Zhejiang University.
The graduation defense of the Finance Management Class 1 was divided into two days. Su Zelin was scheduled to defend on the morning of the first day. Zeng Kaiping and Hou Yongjin from 302 also defended in the morning. As for 501, it was Luo Xi and Nanazi, a pair of fake sisters.
Among the five people, Luo Xi was the first on the first day.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the class beauty left the multimedia classroom where the defense took place.
"Axi, how is it?"
When the class beauty showed up, many people who were waiting for the defense outside gathered around her. Most of them were students with average or poor academic performance.
For example, Zeng Kaiping and Nanazi are among them.
Those who go in for the defense first can also provide information to those who come later.
"Hey, it's easy!"
Luo Xi was beaming with joy: "After entering the room, I just did what my instructor said. I spent a few minutes stating the title of the paper and the reason for choosing the topic, and introduced the main arguments, evidence, and writing experience of the paper. Then the main defense teacher asked three questions, and the other defense teachers who were listening in also asked a few questions at random. They were all easy, basically based on the content of the paper, and there was no difficulty. You really don't have to worry!"
"How many questions did the defense team teachers ask?"
The energetic young man asked hurriedly. This was what he was most concerned about.
He had already heard about the three questions from the main defense teacher and had leaked the information. He was worried about the random questions and answers from other defense group teachers. This was the most worrying thing for him.
Luo Xi thought for a moment: "It seems to be five!"
"so much?"
Zeng Kaiping's face instantly turned into a bitter gourd.
Naturally, he hopes the less the better.
"A Ping, those questions are actually very easy. As long as you understand the paper thoroughly, it will be no problem to answer them."
Luo Xi comforted him.
"The problem is that I don't understand it!"
The energetic young man was very worried.
He basically cobbled together his graduation thesis, and asked the top student in the dormitory to help guide him. He memorized it by rote, and had no problem dealing with the main defense teacher, but he had trouble answering random questions.
"A Ping, don't worry. A Xi will ask four random questions, and you will only ask one at most, or even none at all."
Su Zelin smiled.
"Why?"
Everyone was surprised.
Su Zelin said calmly, "Because Ah Xi has good grades and wrote a good graduation thesis, the four random questions are used by the defense tutor to add extra points, which are equivalent to additional questions. If you answer them well, you can improve the score of the thesis. But in your case, the tutor will not give you any additional questions or simply not give you any. However, as long as you answer the three main questions well, you can pass the defense."
Everyone suddenly realized.
In other words, when the teachers in the defense group find out that you are a poor student, they will not expect your paper to get a high score. Asking more random questions is meaningless and may even embarrass the students, so the number of such questions is different from that of the top students.
“That’s great!”
Zeng Kaiping was very happy.
His goal is to get a diploma, not how good his thesis is.
One by one, the prospective graduates walked into the multimedia classroom and left with a smile on their faces.
Su Zelin had experienced this in his previous life. His graduation thesis defense at the School of Finance was quite poor.
Moreover, the class atmosphere and study style of the Finance Management Class in this life are much better than in the previous life. There are very few poor students like Zeng Kaiping, and even the spirited young men usually go to class in an orderly manner. No one disrespects the tutors, so the tutors don't intend to block anyone.
Finally it was Zeng Kaiping's turn. Before the spirited young man entered the room, Su Zelin reminded him, "Aping, remember, when you introduce yourself to the defense tutor, you must behave generously, calmly, with a smile on your face, and be polite. Don't show any nervousness, anxiety, or restlessness. In short, two words - confidence. You must tell yourself that I am a top student!"
"Well, I understand, Third Brother!"
Zeng Kaiping nodded seriously and took a deep breath.
"I am a top student, I am a top student, I am a top student..."
Hypnotizing himself secretly, the energetic young man stepped into the multimedia classroom.
Ten minutes later, he came out again, and his defense time was shorter than almost everyone else's.
The expression on Zeng Kaiping's face was as if Liede Village was being developed and his family had been allocated dozens of houses.
Everyone knew the answer at a glance.
He gave Su Zelin a thumbs up: "Third Brother is Third Brother, Su Banxian is so good at predicting things. The other teachers in the defense group didn't ask any random questions!"
The energetic young man was very proud of himself, and people who didn't know the truth thought it was an honor.
In fact, the teacher in the defense group saw that you were so bad that he saved you even a random question and asked you to answer the three main questions before finishing the defense quickly to avoid wasting time.
However, the defense team still let him pass. Of course, the score for the graduation thesis should be very low, and it is estimated that he will barely pass.
However, Zeng Kaiping doesn't care about that. To him, long live graduation!
Not long after Zeng Kaiping, it was Nanazi's turn, and she also passed successfully. The teacher in the defense group also asked two random questions.
Nanazi's grades were better than Zeng Kaiping's, and her graduation thesis was well written with the help of Su Zelin himself, so the defense team felt it necessary to ask some additional questions. Unfortunately, Nanazi's true colors were exposed after two random questions. After realizing the student's true level, the defense team did not continue.
The morning defense session was about to end when Su Zelin entered the room.
When he strode into the multimedia classroom with a confident look on his face, the defense group mentors instantly became energized.
Su Zelin may be the most special student they have ever taught, not only because he was both excellent in character and academics while in school, but also because he had become a corporate executive in a large company before graduation.
This kind of case is the first one in the entire School of Finance, not only among their students.
They had already read Su Zelin's graduation thesis, which was completely not on the same level as others.
His graduation thesis is almost a complete scientific and efficient financial management system. Compared with other people's thesis, it is just the tip of the iceberg. The starting point alone is much higher.
If the other graduating students in his class were on the horizon, he was in the atmosphere.
After all, they are senior executives of large companies and have rich practical experience. This is not the experience of ordinary clerks. Senior executives are exposed to so many more things.
The smile on Su Zelin's face is very confident. This confidence radiates from the inside out. He is absolutely confident and calm. He doesn't need to pretend. The experiences in his past and present lives make Su Zelin the king in financial management.
"Student Su Zelin, please start!"
"Yes, mentor!"
Su Zelin began his thesis statement.
The instructors nodded repeatedly.
This student's thinking is extremely clear, organized, concise and to the point. The management methods he proposed amazed the instructors.
After the ten-minute presentation, the mentors looked at each other with appreciation on their faces.
This person's understanding of financial management is so profound and thorough that it is no luck or coincidence that he became a corporate executive.
"Student Su Zelin, if I'm not mistaken, your financial management system should have combined many ideas from foreign companies. Is that right?"
The main defense tutor still has some stuff.
Su Zelin's financial management ideas are bold and novel. Compared with traditional conservative financial management methods, they are much more avant-garde. They eliminate the dross and discard many cumbersome methods, making them more efficient and advanced.
At present, only foreign companies adopt this financial management approach.
He guessed right.
Su Zelin's financial management system is currently being used by New Century.
The financial management in China in later generations was undoubtedly much more advanced than it is now, and it absorbed a lot of practices from foreign companies. Su Zelin was also greatly influenced.
"Yes!"
Su Zelin nodded: "Teacher, forgive me for being blunt, the financial management systems of most domestic companies, especially state-owned enterprises, are too bloated and can be streamlined!"
“That’s right!”
The main defense instructor nodded and sighed in his heart.
In fact, he also understands this truth.
However, domestic enterprises, especially state-owned enterprises, seek stability. Few dare to seek drastic reforms in this era. After all, they will be blamed if problems arise.
There are too many old-fashioned people in the country. Only when there are more young people like this who are bold enough to seek change will there be hope for state-owned enterprises!
Afterwards, the main defense tutor asked three questions, and the other tutors who were attending the defense could not help but ask questions. It was rare to meet a student like this, and they were all very interested.
Even the tutor learned a lot from this student.
Su Zelin's graduation defense took the longest time, lasting almost half an hour.
"Congratulations, Su Zelin, you have completed a perfect graduation thesis and graduation defense. I will apply to the higher authorities to propose that this graduation thesis be included in the classic cases of our school!"
Finally, the main defense instructor made a summary.
“Thank you, mentor!”
Su Zelin smiled.
He knew that even if his paper did not get full marks, it should be close to full marks.
When we walked out of the classroom, others were still waiting outside. Luo Xi, Nanazi, Hou Yongjin and Zeng Kaiping, who had completed their graduation thesis defense, had not left yet, cheering up the newcomers. This was also a small detail that reflected the unity and harmony of the Finance Management Class 1.
"Boss, why did it take you so long to come out? It's been almost half an hour!"
As soon as he saw Su Zelin, Luo Xi couldn't help but ask.
"Well, the defense team tutor asked a lot of random questions."
Su Zelin touched his nose.
"How many questions did they ask?"
Luo Xi expressed his curiosity.
"I can't remember clearly, there should be about ten or twenty."
Su Zelin said lightly.
"Wow, more than ten or twenty? Doesn't that mean each instructor asked more than two questions?"
Luo Xi was frightened.
As far as she knew, her five random questions were already a lot, and no one else had surpassed them this morning.
Unexpectedly, Su Zelin's random questions were several times more than his own!
Only if the defense team was extremely optimistic about Su Zelin would they ask so many questions.
"Boss, are you planning on writing a perfect graduation thesis?"
The class beauty wiped her sweat and felt very depressed.
"In the eyes of the defense group mentor, is the gap between you and me so big?"
She felt that she was already very good, especially after interning at a foreign company. She learned some financial management methods and incorporated them into her paper, and thought she would definitely get a high score. However, she was still defeated in seconds by Su Zelin.
I'm about to graduate, and you still want to attack me during the graduation defense. Do you want me to live? Wuwu ...
"Ah Xi, what you learned secretly is just the superficial knowledge of foreign company management. Foreigners are very cunning and it's not easy for you to grasp the essence."
Su Zelin teased.
Although he had not read Luo Xi's graduation thesis, he could guess the way the class beauty would join a foreign company. After all, this thing could improve the defense group's evaluation and the graduation thesis score.
"Honestly, if you encounter any financial management problems in your future work, you might as well ask me. After all, you have been my assistant for so long, I will definitely not keep any secrets from you!"
Luo Xi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really, Boss, do you also understand the tricks of foreigners?"
Su Zelin shrugged: "Why else do you think my tutor would be so interested in my graduation defense?"
"Boss, why didn't you say so earlier!"
The class beauty was excited: "Once the boss, always the boss. Even if we graduate, it won't affect our friendship. You have to teach me everything you know!"
Luo Xi felt a little regretful. If he had known that his boss was so awesome, he would have not gone to a foreign company in the first place. It would have been better to work directly at New Century.
Having said that, it’s not too late to change jobs now.
However, if I follow a monster like the boss, I will continue to be suppressed by him for the rest of my life, and I might not even have the courage to start my own business in the future.
The class beauty thought about it and finally gave up.
After the graduation defense in the morning, as soon as Zeng Kaiping returned to the dormitory, he was surrounded by several boys in the dormitory.
"A Ping, how is it?"
"Have you passed the defense?"
"… "
Everyone was talking to each other, and the young man, who was enjoying this kind of treatment for the first time, couldn't help but feel flattered: "Thank you, I didn't expect that everyone cares about me so much!"
Everyone: "No, Ping, as long as you can pass, all of us will be safe!"
Zeng Kaiping: “…”
…
