My Humble Opinion as a Postgraduate Recommendation Student

Li Xingya hadn't really studied what kind of taste rich guys had.

But she had passively heard her roommates discuss it a lot.

Don't be fooled by the girls at the normal university constantly talking about staying away from men; what they actually thought in their hearts was a completely different story.

Moreover, they would categorize and summarize boys' aesthetics, and if they locked onto a target, they would actively try to match his preferences.

What, you say the girls dress up to please themselves, not to please men?

Those are just pretty words to listen to.

For example, the few girls who came to participate in the competition today all got up early to put on makeup... Except for Li Xingya. She got up early to study, which actually had nothing to do with the competition. Even without the competition, she was used to going to bed early, waking up early, and studying hard.

So... why would Su Bai take a fancy to her bare face?

It was also possible she was overthinking it.

But Su Bai couldn't possibly give her an opportunity for no reason, right?

While Li Xingya was agonizing in her heart, the two entered the Jiangcheng University campus.

At this time, the sun was rising, coating the scenery on campus with a thin layer of radiance. Li Xingya looked at it somewhat entranced, making her temporarily put aside her anxiety and earnestly appreciate it.

In high school, she actually wanted to test into Jiangcheng University. After all, she was from this province, and Jiangcheng University was the most famous school in the provincial capital.

It was a pity that the teaching quality of her high school was hard to evaluate, and her energy was tied up by family matters, unable to devote herself wholeheartedly to studying, so she only scored enough to barely scrape the line between tier-one and tier-two universities.

She originally wanted to go out of province to attend a tier-one university, but her parents changed her application, keeping her in the province to attend a normal university.

Speaking of which, "girls should go to a normal university" is a classic stereotype of the older generation, isn't it?

But Li Xingya felt she wasn't suited to be a teacher at all. Her constant thought was to do a technical job, like an engineer, doing technical work on a production line, or programming on a computer, and so on. She was a quiet girl, and the kids at school were too noisy.

"Your school is really beautiful," Li Xingya sighed with complex emotions.

"If you work with my girlfriend, you'll have frequent opportunities to come here in the future."

"..."

"It's just that it might be a bit tough. Her mind works fast, and her requirements for collaborators are quite high. The juniors and seniors from this school who work in the lab might not be willing to be bossed around by her. I think you should be fine... No offense, but I don't think you'd feel dissatisfied just because your mentor is too young, right?"

"True."

Li Xingya admitted that what Su Bai said was a fact.

At the same time, she marvelled inwardly that this guy was really straightforward, frankly speaking his true thoughts out loud.

After exchanging a few more words, Li Xingya's previous doubts were automatically answered.

His girlfriend was a classmate, meaning she was only a freshman, but her technical skills were quite impressive. Coupled with Su Bai's support, she was able to work like a young teacher in the professor's research group.

However, the students of this school probably weren't willing to work for Chen Yusheng, so Su Bai set his sights on her, Li Xingya.

It sounded like discrimination against students from other schools, but it wasn't. Su Bai's attitude made people feel very comfortable, and he said she could try it out first. If she felt that Yusheng wasn't impressive enough to guide her, they could talk later.

"Anyway, you'll definitely get your first month's salary."

Hearing this, Li Xingya's heart was fiercely moved. Where did this god-like boss come from, being so straightforward about advancing the first month's salary?

Seeing Su Bai looking like he was about to take out his phone to transfer money, Li Xingya quickly called for a stop: "No rush, no rush, I... I'll participate in the competition first, and we'll talk later."

"Alright, then I'll add you, and we'll chat in detail later."

After adding Li Xingya's WeChat, Su Bai glanced at the competition venue where students were arriving one after another. Seeing no issues, he ran over to Bangbang Technology to chat with Boss Du.

Boss Du was also officially up, after all, it was nine o'clock.

Recently, when Su Bai was in a gaming drought and didn't know what to play, he would look for Boss Du. Boss Du could always dig out obscure but fun old games from the nooks and crannies to recommend to Su Bai. As expected of a game producer.

Oh wait, this statement wasn't absolute either. Some game producers' level of experience wasn't even as good as grabbing someone at random from the comments section.

Certain big game companies are like that.

Game producers must understand games!

Almost immediately after Su Bai entered Bangbang Technology's door, three girls with heavy makeup poured out of the elevator.

If an experienced person were to evaluate it, the full makeup of these female college students was a bit overdone.

Perhaps it was a makeup style very suitable for taking pictures, but observed in person, there was a slight uncanny valley effect.

Full makeup is like that. A girl's full makeup that looks good in photos often looks a bit strange in person.

But compared to the other dusty-looking peers in the room, they did look much more presentable. In an instant, it created a stark contrast.

"Bro, are they really here for the programming competition? What do they even know..."

Sister Baoyan frowned, muttering in a low voice.

"Who knows. I heard there are students from other schools participating in this competition. Could this be... Uh, they definitely look like they're from another school."

"Maybe they're here to find a boyfriend. Who puts on makeup to program?"

"Well... Hard to say. Look at that internet celebrity senior from our department, the one who came back from studying in the UK..."

"She studied in the UK!"

"No, what did the UK do to you..."

Listening to her teammates taking turns badmouthing them.

Grad-School Bro had a complex expression, but he couldn't help but look toward those girls.

Youthful and beautiful, talking and laughing merrily.

They were the kind of girls he dreamed of getting close to.

Of course, getting close to a woman had to be placed behind academics and career. In Grad-School Bro's life plan, he had to first strive to become stronger, go to graduate school, find a high-paying job, and then consider women.

But if he could attract their admiring gazes in this programming competition...

Holy crap, he was fired up!

The two teammates who were also aiming for grad school saw Grad-School Bro inexplicably get fired up, not knowing what he was getting fired up about.

They just heard Grad-School Bro suddenly ask faintly: "Do you guys think that motivated girls like this wouldn't be superficial enough to like someone like Su Bai?"

"...Are girls who like Su Bai not motivated?" Sister Baoyan retorted. "I see Chen Yusheng soaking in the lab every day, saying she's about to publish a top-tier conference paper. Professor Luo even said that applying for computing resources for her wasn't a waste."

"No!" Grad-School Bro waved his hand grandly. "If she put the energy she spends on dating into studying, she would inevitably achieve even higher accomplishments. As for these girls who traveled all the way from another school to compete, they should be purely career-driven. I'm afraid they wouldn't like a man like Su Bai who is obsessed with material enjoyment."
