I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1051: Troubles

Xu Yuan has been a bit troubled lately. He's about to graduate with his master's degree next year, but he still hasn't found a job.

He had to blame himself. He got into the graduate program at the University of Finance and Economics by sheer luck, barely making the cut. After the admissions officer had a token chat with him, he was somehow assigned to the supervision of Professor Ma Yifeng.

The thought of his amazing mentor made Xu Yuan feel a bit depressed. Other people's mentors would take their students to conferences and research projects, and arrange jobs for them before graduation. His mentor, on the other hand, just spent all his time herding sheep with him and his sister. That's right, his teacher only had two students, and only their graduating class. There were no students above them or below them. It was unbelievable.

A job? It seems hopeless. It's better to rely on his wife than on him. The only thing that makes Xu Yuan feel comforted is that his wife is still reliable.

The teacher's wife, Sang Weihong, was the director of the graduate school. It was the teacher's wife who arranged for Xu Yuan to be the teacher's student. In other words, Xu Yuan was the teacher's wife's chosen disciple.

During the two years of my studies, the person who provided the most help was my teacher's wife.

It seems this world truly has two sides, yin and yang. He was stuck with an unreliable mentor, but luckily he also met a wonderful mentor's wife.

"Xu Yuan, did your professor help you revise your thesis?" Jiang Man, a fellow student, suddenly appeared beside Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan, who was lost in thought, was startled: "Wow, you scared me! How come you walk so quietly? Like a cat!"

Jiang Man plopped down next to Xu Yuan: "Tch, you were daydreaming again, weren't you?"

Of course, Xu Yuan couldn't admit it: "I'm reading!" he said, pointing to the books in front of him.

Jiang Man mercilessly exposed Xu Yuan's true colors: "Alright, I've been here for ages, and I couldn't stand seeing you just standing here in a daze, so I came over."

Xu Yuan blushed, but remained stubborn.

"That's because I was engrossed in my book. Look at everyone else, they're doing the same thing!" He pointed to the other students studying in the library.

"Alright, alright, let's not dwell on this anymore!" Jiang Man interrupted Xu Yuan, then continued with the initial topic, "How's your thesis going?"

Xu Yuan shook her head: "I don't know, the teacher hasn't contacted me yet."

Hearing this, Jiang Man shook her head speechlessly. She had also submitted her thesis to her teacher for revision. How long had it been? From autumn to spring, a whole winter vacation had passed. It was already 2012, and it had been almost two weeks since the start of the new semester. Apart from seeing her teacher once on the first day of the semester, she hadn't seen him since. She didn't know where he was, and he had even dumped all the teaching duties on the two of them.

"Sigh," Jiang Man sighed, then said, "Actually, I'm not worried about the thesis. What I'm worried about now is finding a job. My dad told me that as long as I'm willing to go back to work, he'll give me a permanent position."

I know about this wish. Some departments in mainland China have implemented a talent introduction policy to attract highly educated talents. As long as the major is relevant and the person is willing to go, they will be given a permanent position in the public sector.

Jiang Man changed the subject: "But I don't want to go back. I don't want to live that kind of life where you can see the end from the beginning, earning a little over two thousand a month, and living a life where you only go between two places."

Xu Yuan could understand Jiang Man's idea. They were all young people, and who wouldn't like a big city? Besides, she originally came to the big city because she wanted to leave the small place where she had lived for more than ten years, and she wanted to stay and live in the big city.

The author "Four Seasons Leeks" recommends reading "I Came Back in 1990" using the "Renren Bookstore" APP. Download and install it.

But if you want to stay in a big city, the first thing you need to solve is the job problem. Only with a job can you settle down in a big city with peace of mind.

Xu Yuan asked, "Did you go out and look for some options, or contact any upperclassmen to ask for recommendations?"

Jiang Man shook her head: "Sigh, I've sent out dozens of resumes. When I see the conditions offered by the companies that are willing to give me a job, I back down. And the companies with good conditions that I want to go to, they just won't give me an offer."

Just as the two were looking worried, someone came looking for them.

"Xu Yuan, Jiang Man, what's going on with you two? Director Sang has called you several times, why didn't you answer?"

"Huh?" The two quickly took out their phones, and sure enough, they had several missed calls. But it wasn't entirely their fault; the library had a rule that phones had to be on silent mode.

"Sorry! My phone was on silent, I didn't hear you," Xu Yuan apologized to the person who came.

The visitor waved his hand dismissively, "You all hurry up and go to Director Sang's office."

"Okay, thank you!" The two thanked the visitor, then quickly packed their things and headed towards the administration building.

The teacher's wife's office was on the third floor. The two of them didn't dare to delay and climbed the stairs directly to the third floor instead of taking the elevator.

The two pushed open the door and went inside, seeing their teacher's wife organizing documents.

"You're here? Please have a seat for a while."

The two obediently sat down on the sofa, glanced at each other, wondering why their teacher's wife had suddenly summoned them.

Before long, Sang Weihong finished organizing the documents and looked at the two of them with a smile, saying, "Why are you so nervous? Come have dinner with me tonight."

"Huh?" Xu Yuan was stunned, and quickly asked again, "Master's wife, why did you invite us to dinner?"

Jiang Man, who was standing next to him, also looked completely bewildered.

Sang Weihong didn't explain why, but instructed them to tidy themselves up when they got back: "You two go back and get ready, change your clothes, especially Xu Yuan, look at your beard, how many days has it been since you shaved it?"

Jiang Man then asked, "Teacher's wife, is Teacher going?"

"Of course he went. He'll be waiting for me at the school gate at 5:30. We'll walk together then."

The two agreed without really understanding what was going on, and were still muttering to themselves after leaving the office.

"What's going on?" Xu Yuan was completely baffled.

Jiang Man suddenly thought of a possibility: "Could it be that they're taking you on a blind date?"

Xu Yuan nearly choked on her breath: "I mean, your imagination is way too vivid! If anyone's going to be on a blind date, it's you, not me."

Jiang Man rolled her eyes at Xu Yuan: "Tch!"

At 4:55 PM, the two appeared at the school gate. The teacher's wife said 5:00 PM, so they dared not arrive on time and had to arrive early.

Two minutes later, the two saw their teacher and his wife walking towards them arm in arm.

The two quickly greeted their teacher and his wife.

At that moment, a black Alphard stopped in front of the four people, and the side door slid open automatically.

"Get in the car!" Sang Weihong called to Xu Yuan and Jiang Man.
