Chapter 99 0096 [Old Classmates Reunite] (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Iron-Blooded Flag Captain)
There were quite a lot of people at the National Day gathering.

I don't know how Li Rui managed to get them to come, but he managed to get the senior students from the county's No. 2 High School who graduated last year to come as well.

For example, Chen, the top science student in Sichuan Province last year, is currently studying in the Department of Biology at Tsinghua University.

Chen Guiliang and Wu Meng ran to Wudaokou to meet up with their senior brother Chen.

When they arrived at the location, they found not only Chen, but also Lu Wei from the China University of Geosciences and Li Yunxiang from the University of Science and Technology Beijing—both of whom were science students from the county's No. 2 High School in the same grade as Chen Guiliang.

Especially Lu Wei, who was in the same class as Chen Guiliang in high school before the division into arts and sciences classes.

"Damn, Chen Guiliang, you're awesome! I never thought you could get into Peking University!" Lu Wei said as soon as they met.

Chen Guiliang smiled and said, "It's alright."

Wu Meng asked, "Just the few of us?"

Li Yunxiang said, "Kong Juan from Class 15 is studying at Beijing Normal University. She was waiting for us at Tiananmen Square."

Wu Meng exclaimed, "Kong Juan is really amazing. She didn't get into the humanities experimental class when she chose her major, but she started to work hard in the second semester of her junior year and was able to rank in the top ten in her grade every time. She also got an extremely high score in the college entrance examination."

After glancing at his watch, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries, Senior Brother Chen didn't say much more.

He didn't actually want to join in the fun; it was a gathering of his alma mater's juniors, and he didn't need to get involved. But Li Rui was related to him, and he called several times, insisting that he be dragged along.

Lu Wei asked, "Senior Brother Chen, is the biology major at Tsinghua University particularly difficult?"

“Biology was alright,” Chen said. “I enrolled in an English physics class. My English isn’t very good, so the teacher taught entirely in English, and I could only guess on the exams. I almost failed physics.”

Everyone, including Chen Guiliang, was surprised.

What's with physics classes that are taught and tested entirely in English?

Chen Guiliang began to think about promoting the Three Kingdoms Kill card game at Tsinghua University, and casually asked, "Senior Brother Chen, have you joined any clubs?"

"I participated in two," said Senior Brother Chen.

Chen Guiliang took out his phone and took the opportunity to ask for the phone number.

Of course, he also asked for all the other people's numbers, and for those who didn't have phone numbers, he asked for their QQ numbers and email addresses.

Not long after, Li Rui, the senior class monitor, and a sophomore female student came to the meeting.

The senior students acted as tour guides, leading everyone on the subway, from Line 13 to Line 2.

Given today's traffic conditions, you can forget about getting there without taking the subway!

Have you arrived yet?

"almost."

"We are already looking at the national flag in the square."

Bian Guanyue's voice was a little excited; it was her first time seeing the national flag live at Tiananmen Square.

When Chen Guiliang and his group arrived by car, they found the place packed with people.

National Day...

"Who came up with this terrible idea?" Lu Wei asked.

Sergeant Li Rui said weakly, "I...I was wrong. How about we go somewhere else?"

Chen Guiliang laughed and said, "Since we're already here, let's take a group photo."

We spent half a day looking for the person, and communicating by phone the whole time was useless.

Forget about visiting the Forbidden City; the queues are incredibly long.

After much difficulty, everyone gathered, took a few group photos, and then headed to Tsinghua and Peking Universities. Students from other schools wanted to visit Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

So, I took the subway back.

There were many tourists in the subway, and even in broad daylight there were no seats. Chen Guiliang and Bian Guanyue were holding onto the same bar and whispering to each other.

"Are you doing alright?" Bian Guanyue asked.

Chen Guiliang said, "It was even more fulfilling than the second semester of my senior year of high school."

Bian Guanyue said, "I asked Wu Meng. She said that you students in the Yuanpei Class are all crazy about signing up for classes. You're either in class or on your way to class all day long."

"It's not that exaggerated," Chen Guiliang said with a smile.

Seemingly because there were too many passengers, Bian Guanyue leaned closer to Chen Guiliang, almost into his arms.

Chen Guiliang freed one hand and used it to protect Bian Guanyue, and the two ended up in a half-hug position.

Bian Guanyue's muscles tensed up, but quickly relaxed, and she leaned her shoulders slightly against Chen Guiliang.

Chen Guiliang took a light sniff: "Your hair smells so nice."

Bian Guanyue blushed and said, "It's just ordinary shampoo."

"It seems you are naturally fragrant," Chen Guiliang said.

Bian Guanyue stopped speaking, but moved even closer to Chen Guiliang, as if she had been pushed over by other passengers.

Li Rui was standing not far away, watching Chen Guiliang's actions. He really wanted to hug Wu Meng too. But he also felt a little inferior because he hadn't been admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University…

These two guys were class monitor and academic representative in high school. The class monitor once tentatively pursued the academic representative, but the academic representative said, "Let's get into Tsinghua or Peking University together before we start dating."

The class monitor got into Peking University.

The class monitor underperformed and only got into Renmin University.

It's a ridiculous tragedy.

We transferred to the subway and got off at Wudaokou Station. Senior Brother Chen then led everyone to explore Tsinghua University.

Everyone rented bicycles.

Chen Guiliang rented a beat-up old bicycle. It was quite old and had probably driven away countless Tsinghua students.

Bian Guanyue sat sideways behind him, her head resting against Chen Guiliang's back, enjoying the scenery of Tsinghua University's campus along the way.

Bicycles, university, a boy carrying a girl.

Chen Guiliang felt very satisfied. He had fantasized about this kind of scene when he was in college in his previous life, but he was too poor to date back then.

Everyone rode their bikes to the Second Gate, the place with the words "Tsinghua Garden" on the gate.

Check in and take photos.

Although digital cameras already exist, film cameras are more popular, and it's convenient to pay a deposit when renting one. You can rent one for just a few tens of dollars.

Chen Guiliang's mind turned to his business again.

Hoping that digital cameras will become cheaper and more widely available, it will be easier for students to share photos on campus. "That's Tsinghua Academy, Tsinghua's oldest teaching building. Qian Zhongshu and Ji Xianlin studied there..." Senior student Chen took on the role of a tourist guide.

Bian Guanyue's attention was focused on Chen Guiliang, and she only glanced at the campus scenery casually, completely ignoring what her senior brother Chen was saying.

After a short while of sightseeing, around noon, Senior Brother Chen took everyone to experience the Tsinghua University cafeteria.

Bian Guanyue had no dating experience, so she carefully recalled how her grandparents and maternal grandparents got along. After hesitating for a long time, she imitated her maternal grandmother and served food to her maternal grandfather, putting a piece of braised pork on Chen Guiliang's plate and saying, "You seem to like eating meat, eat more. I'll get fat if I eat too much."

Chen Guiliang winked and smiled at her.

This time, Bian Guanyue wasn't shy anymore and responded with a smile and a wink.

It seems they can transmit Morse code for communication in the blink of an eye.

Kong Juan, a student at Beijing Normal University, nudged Wu Meng with her elbow: "Are they really dating?"

"We've been talking about it for a while now," Wu Meng said with a grin. She's been shipping couples since her senior year of high school.

Kong Juan said, "They're such a perfect couple, I'm so envious."

Wu Meng said, "You should find one too."

"Take your time, there's no rush when you've just entered university," Kong Juan said.

Li Rui listened from the side, glancing at Wu Meng from time to time, but Wu Meng didn't look at him much.

The squad leader sighed inwardly, knowing he had no chance.

Perhaps Wu Meng was just going through the motions when they were in high school.

After quickly finishing his lunch, Senior Brother Chen said to everyone, "You guys can explore on your own this afternoon, I have some things to do."

"Take care, senior brother!"

"Goodbye."

After wandering around Tsinghua University for a while, everyone headed to Peking University, this time with Chen Guiliang and Wu Meng acting as tour guides.

They continued their stroll until evening, when Chen Guiliang invited them to dinner outside the South Gate.

After a satisfying meal, everyone dispersed, leaving only the man and woman alone.

"It's past eight o'clock, how about we go find a place to stay first?" Chen Guiliang said.

"Let's stroll around a little longer," Bian Guanyue said, her cheeks flushed.

Chen Guiliang smiled and said, "I'll take you to a good place."

He went back to get his own vehicle—a second-hand bicycle—and took Bian Guanyue straight to Peking University Science Park.

Pointing to a cramped office, Chen Guiliang proudly declared, "That's my territory!"

"You started a company?" Bian Guanyue asked.

Chen Guiliang smiled and said, "The license hasn't been issued yet, but we've already started operating."

The lights were on inside, and besides Guo Feng, there was another boy.

Guo Feng introduced, "Chen Guiliang, you've come at the right time. This is the developer and operations engineer I recruited for you. He just started work today because of the holiday. He's a senior in the Computer Science Department of the School of Information Science and Technology, and his technical skills are exceptional. He only agreed to help out during the National Day holiday. Whether you can retain him depends on your methods."

"Damn it, get away from me!"

Chen Guiliang quickly took a step back: "How long has it been since you showered? You stink!"

Guo Feng thought for a moment: "About a week or so."

Chen Guiliang said, "Brother, you haven't showered for over a week at the end of September? Go back to school and take a shower!"

“We’ll talk about it when we have time,” Guo Feng introduced. “This guy’s name is Dong Qianqiu. You’ll have to figure out how to keep him here. After he graduates, he’ll definitely get a job at a foreign company or a big corporation. Old Dong, this is the Chen Guiliang I was talking about.”

"Hello, Senior Brother Dong." Chen Guiliang greeted him with a handshake.

"Hello."

Dong Qianqiu was short and thin, wearing glasses and a plaid shirt. He seemed somewhat shy; after shaking hands, he said only two words and then stood there without saying another word.

During this period, Chen Guiliang specifically researched the salary levels of Peking University graduates.

Programmers, in particular, have a very wide salary range, with the lowest being only 3000 and the highest being over 12000.

For example, in Microsoft and IBM's offices in China, Peking University graduates are offered a monthly salary of 8000 to 12000 yuan, along with free training and additional housing subsidies.

However, if they work for state-owned enterprises or public institutions, Peking University programmers will only earn 3000 to 5000 yuan, but their household registration and housing issues will be resolved.

The salaries offered by major domestic internet companies to Peking University graduates range from 4000 to 9000 yuan.

Chen Guiliang forced Guo Feng to go back to school to take a shower by hitting and kicking him.

After chasing Guo the Madman away, he asked, "Senior Brother Dong, after graduation, do you plan to work for a private company or a state-owned enterprise?"

Dong Qianqiu said, "I want to try my luck at Microsoft."

Damn, this is going to be tough.

He just wants to go to Microsoft; his technical skills must be really impressive.

Guo Fengzi is an extremely arrogant guy. Since he said this person is particularly awesome, then he must not be an ordinary person.

"What's the point of working for a foreign company? Why not start a business together?" Chen Guiliang persuaded.

Dong Qianqiu was only pulled aside by Guo Feng to help, without even asking how much the salary was. He looked down on Chen Guiliang's shabby company, but his personality made it difficult for him to refuse, so he remained silent.

Chen Guiliang said, "I can give you company stock options."

Dong Qianqiu asked, "What are options?"

Chen Guiliang explained simply: "It means I sign a contract with you, and as long as you work for the company for a certain number of years, you can buy company shares at an agreed price."

"You want me to pay for it?" Dong Qianqiu asked in surprise.

Chen Guiliang said, "You don't need to actually put your money in. If the company's value increases in the future, especially after it goes public, the share price will be much higher than the agreed price. At that time, you can sell it easily, and the difference between the agreed price and the agreed price is your profit."

Dong Qianqiu was struggling to make a decision and didn't know how to refuse others.

But he wasn't stupid; he knew that if he couldn't understand something, he could ask his teachers and classmates.

So Dong Qianqiu said, "I'll think about it some more. But I can come and help you build your website; you can decide on the salary."

"No problem, Senior Brother Dong, you can take your time to consider it. This place is always open to you, Senior Brother Dong," Chen Guiliang said, offering pleasant words.

Bian Guanyue stood quietly to the side the whole time, and she thought Chen Guiliang was particularly handsome when he was serious about his work.
