During the summer vacation, Ding Nan did not write many theses because she spent more time with Sun Guowei. After she started her third year of postgraduate studies, she realized that the graduate students in the same batch were all busy. Some were looking for jobs, some were busy taking their PhD exams, and they all treated graduation creation and theses as small cases. They were the secondary goals to invest their energy into. She could not help but panic. She quickly adjusted her focus and treated finding a job as the top priority.
As for the PhD exam, many years later, when Ding Nan could finally calm down and find the joy of studying, she had thought of taking the PhD exam to further her studies and study tirelessly for the rest of her life. However, when she was in her third year of postgraduate studies, she had not reached that level. Like most people who took the PhD exam, she thought that the PhD exam was just a delaying tactic for everyone to find a better job. Thinking about it carefully, it was really a good thing for the country. On the one hand, it could alleviate the pressure on the country's graduate employment. On the other hand, it could also give him a buffer opportunity in the rather severe employment situation to some extent. He could design a bright employment prospect blueprint for himself, although uncertain.
Besides, she really didn't have the energy to take the PhD. Her son was waiting for her to raise him. It was always a stopgap measure to take care of him from another generation. It was always better to grow up by his parents 'side. She was anxious to bring her son out and wait for him to graduate.
Speaking of finding a job, in Beijing after the Olympics, it was not difficult for a master's student to find a job that was just for survival. However, if they wanted to find a job with a registered permanent residence, they would need not only controllable strength, but also uncontrollable extraordinary manpower and material resources. She remembered that a year after the outbreak of the epidemic, her fellow Ph.D. student had to find a job in Beijing for seven months before settling down at a university. It had been four or five years, and the situation had gotten worse. Her major was also relatively obscure, so it was even more difficult.
During that period of time, Ding Nan was writing her thesis casually. Fortunately, she studied art theory, so she did not have to write her thesis after graduation. She focused her life on finding a job. She mainly worked in a publishing house and magazine agency, and she wanted to work as an editor. Other than posting her carefully crafted resume on the talent exchange meeting and recruitment website, she had also entrusted it to many people, including her fellow students who had a good relationship with her in university and some of the connections she had made while working outside.
Sun Guowei also asked for a few of her resumes and sent one to the school he was in. One night, he brought a lot of expensive things to visit the personnel department commissioner. However, according to reliable sources, the school would have two staff members that year and would recruit two teachers, but one of them was politics and the other was English. Her major did not match. In this case, it had nothing to do with her. However, Sun Guowei half-jokingly and half-seriously comforted her, saying that it was okay. If she couldn't find a job with an establishment, she could just find a more stable job. Even if she couldn't find any job, she could marry him and join the army. As for the job, as the family of the officer, the school would help arrange it.
At that time, Mr. Zhao, who had worked part-time for two years and had a father-daughter relationship, was also very concerned about her. He used his influence and connections to help her find out everywhere in Beijing, including his retired art academy. Of course, entering the art academy was her dream, but she understood that it was very difficult.
His roommates were also busy. Other than Zhang Lili, who wanted to take the PhD exam, the other two were also actively contacting the unit. Zhang Lili would occasionally look for a job, but her main focus was on her PhD. She and her boyfriend planned to continue their studies. Wang Han was also asking around, but just like Ding Nan, everything was still waiting. Li Ying had an absolute advantage because she was a student from Beijing. Although she was also anxious, she was calm. Her main goal was to teach art in primary and secondary schools in Beijing. Chen Bo, who was from the same sect as Li Ying, also focused his energy on the PhD exam and went to the talent market from time to time. There were basically no more classes for third-year students. Because they were looking for a job, third-year master's students were even more homeless. The third-year student dormitory was even more empty and quiet.
At that time, Ding Nan's energy was divided into three parts: writing a thesis, looking for a job, and visiting Sun Guowei on weekends.
On a Saturday afternoon in late October, she saved the thesis she had written, turned off her computer, and went to the school cafeteria to have lunch. Then, she came back and sent a message to Sun Guowei, saying that she was going out. It had been like this recently. She would sleep in on Saturday mornings, get up, and write her thesis. Then, she would go out to look for Sun Guowei in the afternoon, go to his place in the afternoon, and come back on Sunday afternoon.
It was the bus, the subway, and the bus again. When she stood at the door of Sun Guowei's dormitory, she looked at her phone. It was 3:20 p. m. She adjusted the bag she was carrying, sized herself up, and then raised her head to knock on the door. After a while, the door opened. Sun Guowei, who was standing in front of her, smiled and looked at her. His face was slightly flushed.
As she entered the house, she took her bag down and hung it behind his door. She walked to the window and sat down on the chair in front of the table. She turned around and looked at him."Eh? Your face is a little red. It was quite cold outside today. If he didn't turn on the heater, he would freeze to death.”
He closed the door, walked over, and sat down next to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and rubbed his face on her head. He said softly,"I went to the office and did some class. After going out for two years, he suddenly realized that he was under a lot of pressure when he came back. The school was talking about teaching evaluation every day, and many people were working overtime in the office. He could no longer be as lazy as before. You know, I actually miss those days. Haha, aren't you a good-for-nothing?"
She turned around slightly and welcomed him. She also reached out to hug him and whispered in his ear,"You're quite promising. How many people can be as lucky as you to be sent overseas by the government? By the way, I haven't asked you yet. How much money did you save up after going abroad for two years?”
He combed her long hair, which had been messed up by the wind, and placed it on her back. He said,"Not much, about 120,000. What do you want to eat tonight? We won't eat in the canteen today. Let's eat outside to nourish your body. The school food will definitely not be good. Is it still pickled fish?"
She nodded on his shoulder and said," Sure." Then she moved back and looked at him." Your school is looking for a political teacher and an English teacher. I have an accent in English, so I'm afraid that I'll mislead the students. But if there's no problem with politics, I can also teach. If Wang Shuping can teach, why can't I?" From middle school to high school, it's not an exaggeration to say that I was in the top three in politics, history, English, and Chinese. If I was slightly weaker in math, I would have entered Peking University's Chinese department long ago. Dear, can you pull some strings and let me teach politics? Didn't Wang Shuping also enter through abnormal channels back then?”
He reached out and tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear.""But Wang Shuping majored in politics. Besides, she entered through the family channel, so it's too early. It was very difficult to be a teacher now that his major did not match. He could only see if there were any other civilian jobs.”
Just as she was about to say " okay ", the phone on his bed rang. He let go of her, stood up, and walked over. He picked up his phone and looked at it. His expression changed slightly, but he didn't answer the call. After thinking for a while, he pressed it under his pillow and let it ring.
About two minutes later, the bell stopped ringing, but in less than five seconds, it rang again, and this time it continued to ring stubbornly.
She kept looking at him. He stood there with an unnatural expression on his face. He walked over and sat down beside her again."A friend. I don't want to pick it up."
However, she stood up and walked to the table closer to the window. She looked out of the window and turned back to look at him."You did the same to me before, didn't you? And you will treat me like this in the future, right?”
Perhaps he didn't expect her to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were filled with surprise. Looking at her, his eyes slowly turned red. He stood up and walked behind her. He pulled her over and turned her body to face him. As if he was worried that she would leave immediately after saying this, he hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear,"I'm sorry! Treasure! No! No! It felt different! You're the woman I love the most. I don't like this woman!”
She laughed, but tears had already welled up in her eyes. She said,"So, other than your favorite, you also have a second love!”
He pushed her away slightly, his hands still on her shoulders. He looked into her eyes and said,"Why do you have to be so stubborn?”
She looked at him for a long time without saying anything. Finally, she looked into his eyes and asked,"I've been avoiding you. I've been avoiding asking you. What do you plan to do with me? It was still the same sentence, get married before divorcing, and then marry me after divorcing? Or has it changed again?"
He was still hugging her, but his eyes were lowered. He did not look at her, nor did he speak. She still said softly but forcefully,"Will you please look into my eyes?"”
He finally looked at her and said,"Baby, I really love you. I really want to be with you forever, but I have no choice." I feel very guilty towards you. I can't help but want to treat you well and make it up to you. However, I'm afraid that if I treat you too well, you won't be able to leave me. This will hurt you even more. Yu Dafu had a famous saying,'I once whipped a famous horse because I was drunk, but I was afraid that my love would hurt a beautiful woman', which was exactly the kind of contradiction and worry.”
She didn't say anything and turned around, tears streaming down her face.
He silently walked forward and stood beside her. The twilight of the evening vaguely reflected her tearful profile. He could not help but feel pain and pity in his heart. He pulled her shoulder and hugged her, saying softly," I want to say that I'll love you forever, but I'm afraid that I'll hurt you even more." Then, he fell silent and slowly reached out his young hand to gently wipe away the tears from her young face.
