What Yang Ruolan said was not unreasonable. Besides, for Xu Ziling, he was happy when the people around him were happy. He didn't say anything more and agreed with Yang Ruolan's words with a smile.

When Yang Ruolan saw that Xu Ziling agreed with her point of view, she immediately smiled and was about to call her family immediately to inform her family of the good news. However, Xu Ziling saw that she was not far from the old principal's house and reminded her, so she gave up and said that she would wait a moment.

Hit again.

The old principal doesn't care about too many things now, so he is quite well-educated. He is older than Huang Jiancheng, but he seems to be more energetic than him.

The old man was very enthusiastic about Xu Ziling's arrival. He welcomed the two people in and quickly asked the nanny to bring tea and watermelon.

Still the same as the previous two, Xu Ziling couldn't sit there for long and left.

Yesterday, he called him. The old principal naturally knew that he had something to do, so he didn't try to persuade him to stay. He just asked him to come and sit down when he had time, and then saw off the guests in person.

After walking to three houses, it was getting late. When he arrived at Principal Xie's house, Principal Xie was already waiting for him.

It is already July. Normally, the graduation ceremony should have passed long ago. The reason why their class has delayed holding such a class graduation ceremony until now is mainly to accommodate his time.

And this matter was of course designated by the principal!

For the school and for him personally, Xu Ziling was a student of their school and had great honors. In addition, in the past few years, there had been a lot of discussion about Xu Ziling in the class, so it was not surprising that he was arranged like this.

After chatting for a while at the principal's house, Principal Xie said it was getting late and he should go to the classroom.

Of course Xu Ziling listened to his arrangement, so he and Yang Ruolan stood up together. However, when he just stood up, Principal Xie stopped him again: "I forgot something, please wait..." As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ziling didn't wait.

If there is any reaction, go into the room.

Xu Ziling didn't know what he was doing, so he could only look at Yang Ruolan, stop and wait.

After a while, Principal Xie came out with a box in his hand.

"This is yours. It was specially mentioned above. You can bring it yourself and I won't bother you." Handing the box to Xu Ziling, Principal Xie said with a smile.

What is it? Xu Ziling took the box in confusion.

I couldn't wait to open it: it was actually a brochure with a golden pea and three stars.

"Is this mine?" Xu Ziling was more interested in this than the academician, and he raised his head in surprise and asked.

Principal Xie smiled and nodded, "Yes, yours. It was awarded directly by the Military Commission. There is a new military officer ID card below. Remember to give me the old brochure and military officer ID card."

As a soldier, if you don't like your rank to go up, that's a lie.

There had been no movement for several years, and Xu Ziling was very happy that he was given a colonel this time.

After listening to Principal Xie's words, he quickly asked Yang Ruolan to help him take off the epaulettes on his body and put on new uniform epaulettes. He also handed over the old military officer's ID card and student ID card that he carried with him from his pocket, together with the old epaulettes.

headmaster.

Then he said bluntly: "I haven't received any stars for several years. I thought there was no hope. I didn't expect that this time they would give me three stars..."

Principal Xie had dealt with Xu Ziling many times, but this was the first time he saw Xu Ziling like this. Remembering how he used to be calm, he smiled and joked: "With your current status, you still

Do you care about this?"

"Uncle Xie is wrong. No matter what my status is, I am a student of the University of Science and Technology, and I am a serving soldier. These cannot be changed. If there are not some things that must be done, I will definitely do it honestly.

Stay in school, stay in some research institute in the future and tinker with my stuff..."

Principal Xie has a good relationship with Yang Haisheng. It was through him that Xu Ziling borrowed the laboratory of HKUST in the first place. With this relationship, in private, the two of them treat each other as uncle and nephew.

After hearing what Xu Ziling said, Principal Xie patted his shoulder and said with emotion: "Good boy. The country needs people like you..."

There was another delay, it was really getting late, so we put down our things, went out together, and drove to the teaching building.

Principal Xie had introduced it before, saying that the place would be in a lecture theater in the teaching building. Xu Ziling had stayed at the University of Science and Technology for so long, so of course he knew about this place. He drove behind the principal's car and arrived there in a short while.

Feeling that his car was a bit arrogant, Xu Ziling did not park in front of the teaching building, but parked under a big tree on the side. When he got off the car and met the principal standing under the teaching building, he did not forget to explain.

For a moment: "The car went for maintenance, and I didn't buy a new car, so I had to drive my Ruolan's car here..."

"If someone else said that, I wouldn't be able to criticize them, but I won't say it to you." Principal Xie said with a smile.

He has a close friendship with Yang Haisheng, so he naturally knows some of Xu Ziling's style, in terms of food, clothing, and use. His worth is not considered extravagant, and he is not usually high-profile.

If someone else said something like this, he wouldn't be criticized, but it would make him think it was hypocritical. But when the words came out of Xu Ziling's mouth, he didn't think it was foreign sentiment, but true.

If Xu Ziling really wants to show off his wealth, there is no need to just drive a multi-million car.

Military schools are different from ordinary universities. There are no counselors, only captains and instructors. Although Xu Ziling did not go to class, he still asked Xia Xueyi to take him to visit them once. After that, they would occasionally talk to them when they met in school.

, not very familiar with each other, but still considered familiar.

Going upstairs to the outside of the classroom, the ceremony inside has already begun.

Although it was just the graduation ceremony of the class, there were many people who came to watch the ceremony. Yang Ruolan was not a student here and it was difficult to enter from the front. Principal Xie asked his assistant to lead her in from the back door and arranged for a group of people who were not wearing military uniforms.

People sit down inside.

And he led Xu Ziling and walked in through the main entrance.

Being led in by the principal himself, and the vague news they heard, everyone in the class guessed that the handsome man following the principal was the classmate they had only heard about in rumors.

The University of Science and Technology has the reputation of "Tsinghua University in the Military". Compared with ordinary military schools, the students are not interested in studying and can only compare themselves. Only the teachers are not asleep during class, but here it is quite strict.

At any time, all actions are subject to command.

Going to class is just like receiving orders. If someone is absent or late for no reason, once or twice is fine. If it happens too many times, the consequences are guaranteed to be expulsion. So here, it can be said that it is no different from being in the army.

When the principal and legendary classmate came in, everyone was very curious, but they didn't talk casually.

"Captain Wu, Instructor Huo." On the podium, the captain and instructor were both there. Xu Ziling waited for them to greet Principal Xie and immediately saluted.

The captain and instructor had the rank of lieutenant. When they saw Xu Ziling's epaulettes, they knew that this classmate in their class could not be viewed in ordinary terms, and they quickly saluted.

However, because of their usual friendship, the two of them didn't pay much attention. The instructor even made a joke with Xu Ziling: "You must not salute us, but we will salute you."

Xu Ziling also got to know the two of them. He knew that they were good people and were relatively relaxed with the students below. They were two people who were easy to deal with, so he didn't show any unfamiliarity. "Here, we don't care who is taller."

Low, as long as I am a student under your command."

In this situation, it was definitely not easy to talk too much. After chatting for a few words, the captain said a few words to the students below, and then asked the principal to speak.

Principal Xie didn't have much to say. He gave a few words of encouragement and then began to introduce Xu Ziling: "The person next to me is a classmate who has never appeared in your class. In these years, he has accepted the commission from the country and carried out some

It was an important task, so I didn’t appear in front of everyone..."

Principal Xie's words were very concise and were finished in less than five minutes. After finishing speaking, he signaled Xu Ziling to say a few words to his classmates.

What scene has he never seen before? In Markkula, he could keep his expression straight in front of thousands of people. Facing such people, he certainly wouldn't have stage fright.

Standing in the middle of the podium, he first saluted everyone.

"First of all, I have to apologize to everyone. Due to some reasons, I didn't get to know you well during the few years of our college career, so I can't call any of my classmates by name now. But it doesn't matter. I believe that from now on

Starting today, everyone can get to know each other well. No matter where we go from now on, we will be classmates..."

Xu Ziling said more, mainly to try to eliminate the impact of his four years of not showing up. At the end, he said: "In order to make up for the mistakes of the past four years, if you have anything to help, please feel free to say it. I am a classmate."

Yes, anyone who can help will definitely help. As an aside, I would like to say one more thing: Are there any classmates?

If you want to go to the army, but want to go to a local research institution, I will provide you with a place, which is the Red Star Military Factory. I have a small relationship with the military factory. If anyone has this intention, I can negotiate with the school and will discuss it with you.

We will arrange for people to come for interviews as quickly as possible, and it will not affect your allocation..."

All the students remember Xu Ziling, firstly because his name has always been in the class, and secondly because of his incredible scores four years ago.

Listening to what Xu Ziling said on the podium, everyone's first impression was that this classmate was quite easy to talk to. Of course, they were also shocked by the rank of colonel on his shoulders. They were curious about what he had done in the past four years, but he would not get it.

Just ask.

In the end, they were all "shocked" when they saw that he actually said that he could help go to the Red Star Military Factory.

Damn, the principal is here now, and among the people watching the ceremony, there are quite a few heads of the school.

Is this guy so brave?
Chapter completed!
