"Doing things..." Cheng Ran murmured.
"The student union is also a small society outside. You might as well treat it as a practice ground, where you can practice in advance how to do things, how to get things done, and how to handle interpersonal relationships. If you do these well, you may be able to use your identity as a student union member to connect with companies outside the university. Some companies will recognize you, and it will also be a qualification for you in the future. In fact, if you only pay attention to the resumes of some senior officials, you will find that some people have resumes of university student unions. Of course, these are too far away, and they are right in front of you. At the same time, there are benefits when you do things, so why not do it?"
"Welfare?"
"For example, our publicity department and the activities organized by the University of Science and Technology Student Union are still well-recognized in the society, and they are directly connected with the society, which tests your emotional intelligence. You can get training in advance. At the same time, there will be rebates for attracting sponsorship, which is actually a reflection of your ability and can make money."
Zhang Jing smiled slightly, "If you want to practice, you can come here. The rebate amount can be considered at your discretion. There are also hidden benefits, such as doing student work, getting along well with teachers and some school leaders. If there is any selection, others will think of you first."
"Does this count as opening a back door?" Cheng Ran asked.
"This is not a backdoor," Zhang Jing shook her head. "This is called a recommendation."
"Someone in your family must be an official." Cheng Ran laughed.
"It's a cadre family, but not as complicated as you think..." Zhang Jing did not deny it. She took a small step to be honest. She raised her nose slightly. It was just that Cheng Ran was more perceptive than she expected.
Cheng Ran was moving a chair while Zhang Jing started talking to him. The two of them were walking on the road and were quite engaged in the conversation. It was still quite remote at night when they came from the Mathematics Department teaching building, but once they entered the dormitory area, they would be quite conspicuous.
This dormitory area is where the first batch of students moved in after it was renovated the year before last. That is to say, most of them are in their sophomore year and have shed the immaturity of their freshman year. After a semester of warm-up, they have learned the whole picture of college. It is the time when everything is getting into shape. At the same time, they still have the most simple aspirations: a relationship in college that is destined to end in a flame and may end after graduation.
Even if there is nothing, it is good to watch others and make some noise to calm the restless heart. So when you walk into the dormitory area, if you are an acquaintance of Zhang Jing, the boys will say "Men and women work together, it's not tiring" to you.
There was also a group of girls who knew Zhang Jing. When they came face to face, they called her Zhang Jing and chatted for a while, talking about daily life. During this conversation, the girls looked at Cheng Ran from time to time. The most peculiar thing was that no one asked who Zhang Jing was, and Zhang Jing did not explain.
However, the ambiguous looks in the eyes of others will invisibly intensify the strange atmosphere between the two.
After the girls walked away, Zhang Jing said, "Sorry, I kept you waiting for so long."
"It's okay, it's a good time to rest my hands."
"You must be very tired, how about I carry one for you?"
"No need, it's come to this."
Zhang Jing looked at Cheng Ran again, and after confirming that he didn't show any dissatisfaction with her for not bringing it up earlier, she smiled and asked, "Cheng Ran, you're studying at HKUST, where's your girlfriend?"
Cheng Ran said, "I'm studying in another place."
"oh… "
There was a sudden silence. Zhang Jing said, "Being in a different place is a test."
Cheng Ran smiled, thought for a moment and asked, "You work in student affairs, what do you think of the School of Microelectronics?"
"I haven't had much contact with the School of Microelectronics. Their student union is nominally subordinate to us, but in fact, they make their own decisions on personnel and finance, and are separate from us. There was nothing special about the School of Microelectronics before, but it's different this year. A new dean named Chen Yue came. He's very capable. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Texas and worked as a senior chip design executive at Motorola. He returned to China to serve as the dean of USTC. This year, he may be awarded the title of Yangtze River Scholar. He has been received by senior leaders of Nanzhou City many times. You can see that he is often present at events attended by the president. He is a celebrity at USTC, and the projects he presided over are not only political achievements at USTC, but also in Nanzhou. Maybe in the future, if his key projects are successful, it is not impossible for him to become the president of USTC. But by then, people may not be interested in the identity of the president of USTC."
"Why, are you interested in the School of Microelectronics? Do you have a mentor in mind? Do you want to pursue a master's degree there in the future?"
"I'm just asking. We're at your dorm."
After sending Zhang Jing to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory, it was too late to go up, so Cheng Ran waited downstairs. Zhang Jing carried the chairs up by herself. When she carried the second chair, Cheng Ran wanted to leave. Zhang Jing asked her to wait a moment while she carried the chairs back to the dormitory. After a while, she came down again, took out her cell phone, asked Cheng Ran for his phone number, entered it into the address book, and called him at the same time, "This is my number. Go back and think about it. If you want to find me to open a backdoor, feel free to contact me."
Cheng Ran waved his hand, and Zhang Jing smiled and turned away.
The two dormitory buildings in Juyuan District B have a high floor area ratio and are very close to each other. When Zhang Jing left Cheng Ran and turned around, some people smoking outside on the balcony of the boys' dormitory opposite stared at him. They have probably lived here for more than a year, and many of them come in and out every day. Many of them know Zhang Jing, and at this time, their eyes are somewhat like admiration for Cheng Ran taking the first step.
Cheng Ran was just trying to figure out what he had just gotten from Zhang Jing. That person actually had such prestige in USTC, and not just USTC, but the upper echelons of Nanzhou were also focusing on him. Of course, it was also conceivable that with the advancement of the State Council's Document No. 18 this year, the country's emphasis on the semiconductor industry, and the media's focus on USTC's key project, there was political correctness and a story to tell, but if the story continued like this, it would just be a balloon that kept getting bigger and bigger. Before it exploded, it would be very difficult to shake that person's reputation...
The small units of the dormitory buildings behind me were lit up with soft lights. Under the blazing light of the sunken stadium surrounded by the dormitory buildings, the sound of a football being kicked could be heard from afar from time to time. The dormitory areas surrounding the stadium in the distance were all lined up in a colorful pattern.
This bomb from HKUST is ticking away the countdown rhythm.
At this time, Zhang Jing, who had just returned to the dormitory, looked down from the balcony and saw Cheng Ran standing under the street light.
In the cover of night, he inexplicably gave her a feeling of being alone.
Finally, Zhang Jing shook her head again, shaking off this excited feeling.
…
The boy who helped Zhang Jing move the chair to the downstairs of the dormitory at night, and then waited downstairs until the end and got Zhang Jing's phone number inevitably became the topic of small-scale discussion in Zhang Jing's dormitory at night.
"There's that boy who's pretty good-looking. Jingjing, tell me the truth... Are you attracted to him? You are attracted to him, right? Last time, a senior from your student union came to help you fix your computer, but you were walking in front and he was following you. I felt sorry for him when I saw him... I saw it early today. It's not common to see someone like you who can chat with others in a positive way, hehe..."
"That boy is a freshman, seems to be quite famous... Hey, Jingjing is just charming. Actually, she is already a sophomore, and in college, one should always leave no regrets. The only thing is, one should be careful with boys and not let them get the upper hand. Of course, who is our Jingjing? She is the queen of the student union, and it is easy for her to catch such a little milk dog. Just wait and see... Hehe..."
The roommates were not afraid of blushing in shame when they talked about this. Zhang Jing was obviously not surprised by this. She would occasionally respond with an indifferent attitude, "I didn't mean that. That was what you said. Do you want me to introduce her to you?"
Then some roommates would respond, "Really? That's fine, the other things don't matter. She's good-looking, and it's nice to have her to chat and watch..." Some roommates jumped up in the dark and said, "Give me your phone number now, give it to me..." and were going to tickle Zhang Jing.
There was a burst of evasive laughter from Zhang Jing's shop, but in the end she still didn't take out her cell phone and give out her number.
Finally, everyone was tired of talking and lying on the bed. Zhang Jing talked to Cheng Ran about so many things that the student union was doing. It might be because she was optimistic about his identity. After all, if a celebrity who was on the news was under her command, it would also bring her a lot of convenience and help.
Just lying there and thinking a lot, Zhang Jing finally turned her face to the wall.
"It's someone who already has a girlfriend..."
