SanjitNovel Chapter 1172 Graduation Defense
Chapter 1172 Graduation Defense
On May 12th.
Su Xing received a large sum of money, more than 14 million!
This is the money she received from the Ming Hongwu underglaze red chrysanthemum-patterned diamond-shaped plate she auctioned off last month. After deducting taxes and the auction house's commission, she lost over two million yuan.
Su Xing suddenly felt much more financially secure.
She is in a good mood.
These past few days she's been practicing with that replica of an ancient book. Once she finishes restoring this replica, she'll begin working on restoring Volume Three of the "Zuan Tu Hu Zhu Shang Shu" (Comprehensive Annotations on the Book of Documents).
Once this ancient book is repaired, I should be able to earn another sum of money.
She was full of energy.
December 16th was the day of Dr. He Xu's graduation defense.
Su Xing got up early in the morning, took Bu Diu out for morning exercise and a dog walk.
Afterwards, she bought breakfast and brought it back to her apartment.
He Xu had already gotten up and was washing up.
While Su Xing was wiping Bu Diu's feet, He Xu also tidied himself up and arranged the breakfast she had bought on plates.
Su Xing tidied up the mess, got up to wash her hands, and sat down at the dining table.
He Xu handed her the chopsticks.
The two chatted as they ate breakfast.
Su Xing asked curiously, "Are you nervous?"
He Xu looked at his girlfriend, thought for a moment, and said, "It's alright, I'm not too nervous."
He has never felt stressed about his studies since he was a child.
Su Xing carefully observed her boyfriend's expression, and after a moment, she confirmed that he really wasn't nervous at all.
She couldn't help but sigh, "Wow, is this what it means to be a top student with complete confidence?"
Upon hearing this, He Xu couldn't help but laugh, "You're a genius too."
Su Xing said, "It's different. I went from being a poor student to a top student. You've never experienced what it's like to be a poor student."
If she put herself in her shoes, even though she's doing well in her studies, she'd probably still feel a bit nervous at this crucial juncture.
He Xu recalled the time when he tutored his girlfriend during her high school years, and at that time, her grades were, in his opinion, quite dismal.
However, he also knew that her high school was a provincial key high school, and any student from that school would not be considered a poor student in an ordinary high school.
He said, "Actually, you were quite perceptive in high school and made progress very quickly."
Su Xing felt a little guilty. Although she had worked hard at that time, she also owed a lot to the attributes the system had given her.
She changed the subject, saying, "Remember to send me a message after you finish your defense."
"Okay, I'll message you as soon as possible."
After finishing breakfast, the two went out together.
Su Xing returned to Peking University for classes, while He Xu went to Beihang University.
He Xu's defense was scheduled for the morning.
After finishing his class, Su Xing saw the message from He Xu.
Xu: "Defense complete. (Emoji: V-sign)"
Can't I stay asleep? "How are you? How are you?"
Xu: "It went relatively smoothly."
Su Xing's eyes curved into a smile.
Given He Xu's humble nature, if he says "it went relatively smoothly," then it must have gone very smoothly!
Can't you stay asleep?: "Congratulations! (Emoji: Throwing confetti)"
Xu: "Thank you."
Su Xing, holding his phone, walked out of the teaching building.
Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice call her name, "Xiao Xing".
Su Xing looked up and saw He Xu standing not far away, smiling at her.
She was overjoyed and ran towards him.
He Xu also took a few steps forward to greet his girlfriend.
He naturally took her backpack.
Su Xing took her boyfriend's arm. "Why did you come? After your defense, there must be some finishing work to do, right?"
He Xu said, "I got a number early. After the defense went smoothly, the on-site wrap-up only took a little over an hour. The subsequent processing of materials and thesis will take several more days. I can't finish it today."
For doctoral dissertation defenses, the defense will conclude on the same day. The defense secretary will record the proceedings, draft a resolution, and the committee will discuss and evaluate the case. These processes can be completed on the same day. Once all relevant steps have been verified, the student can temporarily leave.
The defense secretary must then submit the defense materials and enter the results within three working days.
It usually takes students one to two weeks to revise their papers, submit the final version, and cooperate with the college to complete tasks such as photocopying and binding materials and uploading them to the system, depending on their individual revision efficiency and the progress of material preparation.
The process of completing the departure procedures, receiving the degree certificate and graduation certificate, and finally the graduation ceremony will take about a month.
Su Xing smiled and said, "Then let's go eat together. What would you like to eat?"
He Xu said, "Let's eat in your cafeteria."
Su Xing said, "On such an important day, eating in the cafeteria is too perfunctory. Think about it again?"
He Xu said, "We'll eat in the cafeteria for lunch, and then go out for a nice meal in the evening."
Su Xing nodded. "Alright, I'll do as you say."
The two went to the fifth student canteen together.
That year, the Fifth Student Canteen at Kyoto University underwent relocation and renovation, becoming one of the most popular canteens among Kyoto University students.
The two arrived at the cafeteria, lined up at some popular stalls, and ordered a table full of delicious food.
Although it was just a meal in the cafeteria, the lunch was exceptionally plentiful.
After having lunch together, the young couple found a coffee shop and sat there for a while.
The two didn't leave the coffee shop until Su Xing was about to go to her afternoon classes.
He Xu dropped his girlfriend off at the teaching building where she was going to class before leaving Peking University.
Su Xing only has two classes in the afternoon.
After class, she went back to her dorm, put down her books, changed her clothes, put on light makeup that brightened her complexion, and then went to her studio.
An employee saw her and jokingly remarked, "Boss, you're all dressed up so beautifully today!"
Su Xing smiled and said, "Because I have a date tonight."
She spoke so frankly that no one dared to joke about it anymore.
Around 4 PM, He Xu came to the studio to pick up Su Xing.
Su Xing said, "Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
She was drawing a draft, just a few strokes left.
He Xu said, "No rush."
He couldn't get enough of watching his girlfriend work so diligently.
He also noticed the difference between her at noon and when she had changed her clothes and touched up her makeup.
His lips involuntarily began to curve upwards.
After working for a few minutes, Su Xing shut down the computer. "Okay, let's go."
The two put on their coats and went out together.
As they came down from the office building, they noticed that it was snowing lightly.
Su Xing raised her hand, and a snowflake landed right in her palm. The icy touch vanished in an instant, turning into a pool of water. The subtle coolness seeped into her palm, leaving a slight itch.
"It's snowing..."
He Xu reached out and straightened his girlfriend's scarf, saying, "A snowy day like this is perfect for hot pot. How about we go for a copper pot hot pot?"
Su Xing's eyes lit up. "That's a great suggestion. Let's go."
The two got into the car and headed to a long-established hot pot restaurant.
