Colleges and universities the status quo
(83).
Over the weekend, I returned to the UNIVERSITY of Post after two years of absence. In the year of graduation, he would return to his Alma mater one after another. Meet a few friends, play ball games, eat dinner. Later, busy work up, exchanges are not very frequent, old classmates scattered everywhere, also gradually estranged.
I called Li Ji, who was studying for his master’s degree, and asked him to come out for a party. I planned to ask him to recommend some reliable students to come to Langyun for internship.
The basement of the school’s apartment building has a cheap pool hall. When I was in college, I had nothing to do. The four people in our dormitory often got together and bumped into each other. Li Ji is the worst one, and the one with the most excuses. The cue was bad, the table was uneven, the ball wasn’t round enough, and he came right out of his mouth.
Already opened five games, I won five games, Li Ji’s face a little ugly. Now is the sixth game, the table on my side only left a black 8, Li Ji there are two suits did not enter the bag.
Holding the pole, he stood by, his eyes fixed on the table. I positioned myself to end the winning game. At the moment when I was ready to send force, Li Ji suddenly came a sentence: “Li Hong with fei Bin together.”
“Oh.” I hit a good shot, black ball into the pocket, clean. You want to mess with me, kid? No way.
“Why are you so cold about your ex-girlfriend’s new love?” Li Ji threw the balls into the bag back to the table, ready to fight with me again.
“It’s been two years and I’ve forgotten what she looks like.” I sneered.
“Pull, graduation that moment, Li Hong break up with you, your boy cry with a grandson like. It’s not normal to be so calm.” Li Ji despondent looked at me, “made a new girlfriend? She must have made a new girlfriend. Let me have a look.”
“Hand in a fart, all day busy into a dog, which have time! And surrounded by a bunch of big men, no conditions.”
“Ma Tianhua went to Germany some time ago to find fei Bin to play, met Li Hong.” Seeing me speechless, Li Ji continued to show his big front teeth: “Li Hong is really with Fei Bin together.”
I probably understand the sentence “the real forgetting is years later, accidentally mention her, as if talking about a stranger’s story”.
What the fuck, a bolt from the blue? Not right. Enlightened? More is not correct. I couldn’t find the right words to describe my feelings.
Heard LiHong side had a new appointment, a kind of indistinct, unexplained feelings lingering atrium. There was not much sadness to speak of, still less joy. There were waves, but not as big as I expected, probably just a little more than ripples.
“Good,” I said with a wry smile.
Li Ji shook his head and said, “Being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, it’s easy to make sparks. It’s understandable. However, fei Bin is really desperate.”
Li Ji this speech disturbed my heart that waves suddenly turbulent open. By saying so about Li Hong, he indirectly disparaged me. Li Hong may not be an independent beauty, but she’s not as bad as he says. Still hungry? Why don’t you say it’s a waste?
I hate ma Tianhua, this goods really shouldn’t tell li Hong’s recent situation big mouth Li Ji. Li Ji has always been a good spectator.
“You can shut up,” I said angrily. Ma Tianhua is a loser. Instead of going to school in England, he goes around all day.”
“Who let the family have a good father, eat and drink, happy and carefree.” Li Ji took out his cell phone from his pocket, “I have a recent photo of Li Hong here, just ask you, see or not?” .
“Roll, roll.” I turned to get rid of Li Ji and changed the subject. “Is there anyone in your lab looking for an internship recently?”
“In our lab, students go out to practice without permission, which is a grave crime. Even if they have the heart of a thief, they do not have the courage to do so.” Li Ji put the phone screen in front of me and said, “Look at this. Li Hong is smiling so sweetly.”
“Big brother, tell you the real thing, don’t give me trouble.” I pushed li Ji’s mobile phone away and suppressed my inner anger.
“In this kind of love, it really depends on the rank and the family. Look at me and Vivian. We’re both from the countryside. Don’t give up on each other. Live live, how is a lifetime. Li Hong’s family is a scholar. Which university is his father a professor?”
“Teaching is bullshit. His father is in charge of logistics at a college. I’m out of my league, okay? Grass, finally not easy to meet, you his mother also hurt me.”
I picked up my coat from my stool and walked out of the pool hall. Li Ji trotted behind, tugging at my sleeve and saying to me, “Dayao, you’re kidding me. You’re serious. You’re mean.
I stopped when I passed the school canteen. Having lived under the same roof for four years, I also know Li Ji from the bottom of my heart.
Without Li ji’s student card, there is no food in the canteen. For the sake of the belly, compromise temporarily. When I was at school, I was worried about what to eat and drink for three meals every day. I often complained about the lack of food in the canteen and the bad taste. After leaving the campus for a long time, I slowly miss those inexpensive meals.

Sitting in front of the table, I sucked a steaming bowl of noodles and thought of Li Ji’s plan to study for a doctoral degree. So I asked him for proof: “A few days ago, I saw your status in the moments of friends. Have you applied for a doctoral degree?”
“I just submitted my application for a master’s and doctoral degree last week. If there are no accidents, this time next year, you can call me Li Bo.”
“Don’t hurry to come out to make money, read what bo? You don’t read papers for academic purposes!”
“Who told you that a PhD was for academics? Do you know how much my Ph.D. brother makes a year helping my boss manage students?”
I shook my head and Li Ji held out three fingers.
“Thirty thousand?” I guess.
“Three hundred thousand.” Li Ji gestured for me to lean in and whispered, “In good times, there’s more.”
I was surprised: “I go, so high?”
Glancing around, Li found no one he knew, then continued, “Do you know how much my boss is worth?”
I shook my head.
“Nine digits.” Li Ji is as proud as he is worth nine figures.
I silently counted the number of nine digits in the end is how much money, in the determination of the highest, my mouth zhang Yuan: “my nima…… Is that how much money is being a teacher these days?”
“No, no, not all teachers. Most teachers are still miserable. Our boss jumped on the Internet wave. I thought Rebus said a pig could fly in a draught, and my boss is that pig. He had set his heart on learning, preparing to become a Cheungkong Scholar or an engineering academician, but he had struggled for decades without winning any significant titles. In the last few years, he started to embrace the Internet and started companies like crazy, recruiting students, outsourcing, selling heads, and made a lot of money.”
“You don’t make much money from outsourcing, do you?” I asked.
“Don’t underestimate outsourcing. At present, some traditional enterprises are afraid of being beaten on the beach by the Internet wave, and have made transformation. But they don’t have much strength and are not willing to spend a lot of money, so they outsource some of their technology development to university teachers.”
“It’s not that I don’t look at students, I’m also a student here, but what students do is not on the table.”
“The outsourcing of the laboratory is basically a hammer deal, can pit one is one, there is no repeat customers, there are many dupes.”
“And what about selling heads?”
“Some companies need interns to do simple day-to-day development or testing. There are so many students in our lab that we can supply them in batches. One person sells it to you for $5, $6, 000 a month, and the boss gives us $3, $4, 000 a month, and he takes the difference.”
“What a good business!” I exclaimed. “There really is no hard business in the world.
Li added, “The students assigned to the lab can ensure their attendance and work overtime. If the employer is not satisfied, they guarantee a refund or replacement. Do you like such interns if you are the boss of an enterprise?”
“Your tutor is so black, doesn’t anyone resist?”
Li Ji nostril skyward: “resistance a hair. Diploma, degree certificate in somebody else’s hand is holding, who his mother dare to resist? Anyone who resites will be left out of school.”
I suddenly realize: “you boy read bo, is it want to walk your mentor this rich road?”
“I don’t have as big a problem as my tutor. You probably don’t know how difficult it is to be a teacher at a university like UPT nowadays? “A doctoral degree is a must, and a bachelor’s degree, master’s degree or doctoral degree is at least 211, and overseas study experience is also a must.”
I wondered, “What are you doing with your PhD?”
“Be my boss’s helper. Like my two PHDS, they don’t do scientific research. One went out every day to help my boss to pull jobs and receive outsourcing, while the other stayed at the school base camp and was responsible for the daily scheduling of our group of students. A few hundred thousand a year between them shouldn’t be a problem.”
“They’re helping to torture.” I was taken aback.
“To be honest, our boss is a little hard on students, but the students who go out of our lab get good jobs after graduation. They were sent to various companies as interns during their graduate school years to accumulate rich practical experience.
I was speechless, unable to find a reason to refute.
Li Ji’s eyes lit up: “Go back and discuss with your boss whether we need to cooperate with our laboratory. How many interns you want, how many we have here, quality and quantity, guaranteed return and change.”
“You can pull down, I don’t want to do this kind of thing, by the younger students scolded, no business, no harm.”
This is reflected in the fact that many graduate students now refer to their supervisors as bosses. Now, in the eyes of their tutors, graduate students are commodities that can be traded and exchanged for money.
People in this world can never escape fame and fortune.
