Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

The end of the semester is drawing to a close, all exams have been completed, and the results are in. We still have one last thing to do: choosing a thesis advisor. Of all the professors, I'm most eager to choose Professor Jiang Zhongyi. He's approachable, very popular with students, and has extensive teaching experience. He's also a doctoral advisor. From everyone's conversations, I've heard that Professor Jiang is currently the top choice for many people. I'm unsure how the final decision will be made, and I'm also unsure if I'll be left out.

"Let's video chat," Zheng Lan suggested in the dormitory group.

"Yeah"

Then we all entered the video chat room.

"Qing'er, you seem to have gained weight!" Zheng Lan noticed me as soon as I entered the chat room. Yes, I did gain weight because I ate the portion for three people, but I also exercised regularly and didn't gain too much weight. I didn't expect someone to notice.

"No!" I tried to change the subject, otherwise it would be easy to discover that I was pregnant.

"Really, your face has gotten rounder!"

"Are you living too comfortably at home?"

"Of course it's at home. The chickens and ducks are all our own, and the vegetables are freshly picked from the fields. They are so fresh that I couldn't help but eat a few more bites."

"Hahahaha! I'm also in my hometown in the countryside now. The countryside is really great! The air is fresh and the food is fresh!"

"Ah! I'm in the city now and I don't dare go anywhere! I'm almost getting moldy staying at home."

At this time, Rong Zixuan opened the door and walked into the room, "Ah! Who is this?"

"Rong Zixuan!"

"No, you live together?"

"What's the big deal? They're already engaged."

"This is your house! You're not going to have a wedding banquet or get married, are you?"

"Yeah, why else would he be in your house?"

"No, he, he often comes to my house. His parents are gone and he is bored, so he comes to my house to help with farm work. Anyway, my father has no son, and my family lacks a strong man, so he is just right..."

"Tell me the truth, did you really get married and have a banquet?"

"No, he's not even 22 yet. He can't even get a marriage certificate, so why would we hold a banquet?"

“There are also wedding banquets without getting a marriage certificate. I’ve seen it at my grandma’s house.”

"No, don't speculate. We really haven't held the wedding yet. If we did, we would invite you all. Don't even think about running away!"

"We don't have any gift money, hahahahaha"

“It doesn’t matter whether there are people or not, as long as they are there.”

"Well, we agreed that we have to invite each other to the wedding!"

"no problem!"

"Who is your chosen mentor?" I tried to change the subject, otherwise if they continued to dig deeper, I would be exposed. At this time, I wanted to let too many people know about this.

“I chose Teacher Jiang.”

"Me too"

“I chose Teacher Lin Lin”

“Why did you choose her?”

"She's beautiful!"

"shallow!"

"Many people chose Teacher Jiang. I don't know if I can be selected," I said worriedly.

"I asked the department head, and he said that if too many people choose, the teacher will make a counter-selection. Qing'er, your programming skills are so strong, and Teacher Jiang appreciates you, so there will definitely be no problem."

"Yes, the question is whether Teacher Jiang will choose me or not."

"Who cares if he gets selected or not? As long as he has a mentor, that's all! You should think about where to get an internship, a project, and a paper!"

"I have already made the contact and I can go for internship in July."

"Wow! Lan, you're so fast!"

"You're still talking about me, haven't you already found one?"

"Oh, woman! So you've already found it behind my back!"

"Ning'er, I remember you passed the interview last year. The company likes you very much and treats you well. They assign you some odd jobs from time to time to help you earn some pocket money."

"You're talking about me, Qing'er was the first one, she started a company in her sophomore year, and she's done many more projects this year than me!"

These stinky women always manage to bring the topic back to me.

"Isn't this the opportunity? It's hard for me not to grab it!" I deliberately showed off.

"Hey, CEO Wei! You promised to take us to Hegang for a trip, but you haven't fulfilled your promise yet!"

"I was originally thinking of going this summer, but it's just unfortunate that everyone is busy, and this environment isn't really suitable. I'll definitely take everyone out to play by the time we graduate at the latest!"

"It's a deal, I recorded the screen!"

"It's okay to save it and post it in the group as evidence!"

"Mr. Wei is mighty!"

I chatted with them for almost two hours, discussing everything from our current lives to our futures after graduation. Everyone spoke freely, but I couldn't honestly tell them about my pregnancy. They were trustworthy people. But I also didn't want to distract them from my situation. This was a crucial moment, crucial for graduation!

Because I was pregnant with twins, I wasn't sleeping well. Even though the house was renovated and no longer bare, I still couldn't sleep well. Sometimes I had trouble turning over in the middle of the night, and I had to wake Rong Zixuan up to help me. Pregnancy is also very demanding for men. After I became pregnant, Rong Zixuan moved into my room with me so he could take care of me. I would wake him in the middle of the night to massage my cramped leg, help me to the bathroom, or even if I was hungry and wanted to eat. He always responded to my requests without complaint. I felt happier and more excited to meet these two little ones. During the day, Rong Zixuan would talk to the little ones inside, and he was happy when they kicked him, because it was his children kicking him!

Xiao Yuan brought a project to us, but I was pregnant and couldn't work on it. Rong Zixuan was with me the entire time, and I just offered advice from time to time to help him break through the bottleneck. Xiao Yuan also kept asking me what was wrong with my health, why I was fine before, but now I couldn't take over the project. He even suspected that I was infected and had been quarantined.

But I still didn't tell him the real situation. I just said that I was weak and needed to rest. I also asked him to discipline Shen Junhui and stop calling me to harass me all day long. It was really annoying!

I wrote a film script for Director Chen last year. Originally slated for release during this year's Spring Festival holiday, it was postponed to June due to the pandemic. It premiered nationwide in early June, and theaters are already seeing incredibly high attendance, with daytime shows often sold out. Furthermore, thanks to its captivating plot, it's outperforming all other films released during the same period, and has received widespread acclaim and buzz online. It's a true hit!

Director Chen also called me several times to explain the film's current status. The audience's biggest discussion point was the plot, with a high percentage of people watching the film twice or three times. He said my script was excellent and he hoped we could work together again in the future.

For a creator, seeing his work appear on the big screen and be loved by the audience is enough! The movie received a high box office, and the investment cost was definitely recovered, and Xiao Yuan, as the investor, also made a lot of money. Xiao Yuan invited us to Hegang to attend the celebration banquet many times, but we declined every time. After refusing so many times, he understood that we didn’t want to go, so he stopped inviting us. Later, Xiao Yuan made a generous gesture and gave us a Hegang villa worth more than 1 billion yuan. He was also fulfilling his promise last year. After all, our company is on track and is about to go public. In addition, the movie he exclusively invested in is a big hit, and we have been involved in successful projects before and after. This is considered a dividend reward for us.
