As a result, Xu Lin and Lei Haolong followed along and came in.

The campus area of Jiangdu University is quite large, spanning four to five thousand acres, and its environment and scenery are famously beautiful, ranking within the top five nationally.

During long holidays, visitors are allowed to come in, making it one of Jiangdu's famous check-in spots.

As for during the school term, students from other schools can also come, they just need to register at the entrance. Many classes at Jiangdu University allow auditing, as long as you can grab a seat, and you must also adhere to class discipline.

One of the mottos of Jiangdu University is: "The sea accepts hundreds of rivers, and that's what makes it big."

This phrase is used to describe a person's broad-mindedness and capacity, and it also describes the broad-mindedness and capacity of a university, or even a country.

"Recently, my mom has been talking to me about graduate school again, urging me to apply to Jiangdu University!"

Lei Haolong looked at the beautiful campus with quite some envy. Facing the students from Jiangdu University passing by, Lei Haolong felt a mix of admiration and a slight sense of inferiority.

Graduating from Jiangdu University, a considerable number of people become top talents in various fields, and some even become future policymakers of the country, with some being high-ranking official reserves.

Lei Haolong thought about himself, just graduating from a first-tier school, and not knowing where he might end up working like a horse and cow. He certainly couldn't go back to inherit his dad's renovation company, could he?

"Don't you want to be a university teacher?"

Xu Lin, meanwhile, was looking around the campus to see if there were any beauties, and asked Lei Haolong casually.

"Xu Lin, to be honest, I really want to be a university teacher!"

"Then you should at least get a master's degree from a key university, and then pursue a Ph.D., otherwise you can't become a university teacher."

Xu Lin had some understanding of the requirements for university teachers. Nowadays, even universities that are just tier two require a Ph.D. to become a teacher. A master's degree holder can only become a counselor or teach at a junior college.

But teaching at a junior college is basically just getting by; it's definitely easy because the students mostly don't listen in class.

A tier two university is slightly better, but still, many people don't listen to lectures and play on their phones during class.

A tier one university is even better, and when it comes to key universities, some formidable teachers draw such full attendance that even big classrooms are packed.

As they say, people move upward. Those who want to become university teachers have an element of spiritual aspiration for life value and self-worth realization. For quite a few people, educating others is considered a sacred profession.

"Xu Lin, when I'm applying for grad school, will you join me so we can keep each other company?"

Suddenly, Lei Haolong became enthusiastic.

"Xu Lin, are you going to apply for grad school?"

Yu Xinyan turned her head and asked.

"No, I'm not cut out for studying."

Xu Lin thought that smoothly finishing his undergraduate was sufficient; he wasn't considering anything further.

"Xu Lin, what will you do afterward? Directly find a job after you graduate?"

Lei Haolong pursued.

"We've only been in school for a month; why think so far ahead?"

"Xu Lin, this is called planning ahead!"

As they talked, they arrived outside Yu Xinyan's dorm building.

"Xu Lin, I'm going up first, I'll be right back down!"

Yu Xinyan turned back and said.

"Go on up!"

"Mhm!"

Yu Xinyan then went into the dorm building.

"Damn, Jiangdu University is Jiangdu University, even the dorm buildings look so good!"

Xu Lin looked up at the dorm building. He didn't know what it was like inside, but from the outside, the dorm building was indeed beautiful. The architecture was quite distinctive, with a kind of European style aesthetic. Every detail seemed meticulously crafted, and other areas of Jiangdu University featured other styles of architecture, like traditional Huaxia or European Gothic, seemingly covering all famous architectural styles.

Lei Haolong, standing to the side, said, "There are loads of talents graduating from Jiangdu University, numerous elite in politics and business; countless alumni donate every year, making it very impressive, so every spot on this campus is beautifully maintained. For example, those valuable trees we saw earlier were donated by alumni."

"If I ever make a fortune, I'll donate a few billion to Finance University and build a Xu Lin Teaching Building!"

Xu Lin felt a sudden whimsy.

Listening to what he said, people passing by couldn't help but glance over. While Jiangdu University's alumni donations were generous, someone who could throw in billions would have fortunes worth several billion, wouldn't they? Eight billion in cash, now that's something!

Classmate, you really dare to boast!

Seeing many passers-by looking at them with curious eyes, Lei Haolong felt a bit embarrassed, "Ahem, Xu Lin, you're boasting too much, perhaps we should find a different place?"

"Don't mind others' gazes!"

Xu Lin didn't care; boasting was fine, blushing while boasting wasn't going to cut it.

Based on his shallow understanding of historical figures, many successful people throughout history, domestic or international, were those who could talk the talk (boast). Not to mention those abroad, a very typical figure was Hong Xiuquan, who called for arms, claiming to be God's son, whom Jesus would have to look levelly at, and even the Pope at the Vatican would be considered a heretic.

If one doesn't dare to boast, there's no future.

In this world, honest people are bound to find things not going smoothly their entire life.

A few minutes later, Yu Xinyan came down, accompanied by Li Weiyan.

Upon seeing Xu Lin, Li Weiyan said, "Classmate Xu Lin, long time no see!"

Xu Lin smiled and replied, "It's only been ten days or so, hasn't it?"

"Hahaha, that's a long time too!"

Curiously, Li Weiyan's gaze fell on Lei Haolong, "How should I address this classmate?"

Lei Haolong scratched the back of his head, "Classmate, my name is Lei Haolong, from Jiangdu's Second Polytechnic University!"

In Jiangdu, the First Polytechnic is a key university, while the Second Polytechnic is a first-tier.

Xu Lin said, "This buzz cut brother of mine is planning to apply to Jiangdu University for grad school to become a university teacher. Any advice, Classmate Li?"

Xu Lin, you scoundrel, who's a buzz cut?

It's a crew cut, okay!

Lei Haolong touched his head, feeling a bit awkward, and said, "Ahem, actually, I haven't really decided about applying for grad school."

Xu Lin said, "Being too timid has no future."

Li Weiyan couldn't help but laugh, making Lei Haolong, who had little experience interacting with girls, feel a bit at a loss.

Li Weiyan said, "Let's go to the cafeteria, I'll show you Jiangdu University's cafeteria."

"I heard you can get meat and fish there for just a few bucks, is that true?" Xu Lin asked with great curiosity.

Li Weiyan nodded, "More or less, if you don't go out for fun and dining, a couple of hundred bucks a month should be enough here!"

"Xu Lin, I'm telling you, our cafeteria is superb!"

Yu Xinyan was also very enthusiastic.

"Then let's go check it out!"

The outside world already held Jiangdu University's dining in high regard, so Xu Lin was quite curious as well.
