Chapter 123 -s 122, 123: This Nobel Prize, I’d Rather Not Have It! (Please Subscribe, Monthly Ticket)_2

When he met up with Zhang Yang and Feng Tao, he was still marveling: “Who would have thought a genius would come out of our dorm!”

“I was the only one who supported He Xingzhou when he wanted to build a nuclear reactor!” boasted Feng Tao, “Sure enough, he turned out to be somebody! I heard even the Nobel Committee wants to award him!”

“Stop bragging, that’s his own badass achievement. We’re just lucky enough to bask in some of his glory for a lifetime!” said Zhang Yang.

As roommates of He Xingzhou and also graduates of Science and Technology University, they received many preferential treatments.

Even before graduation, countless research institutes and major companies had extended olive branches to them, in stark contrast to their peers who struggled to find jobs after graduation!

“Speaking of which, that Nobel Prize committee really sucks.” Wang Jiahao cursed, “Talk about giving an award and yet spew some disgusting remarks, now He Xingzhou can’t even accept it with grace!”

“He definitely won’t accept it!” The roommates knew He Xingzhou’s character well, “If he cared about these things, he would already be the world’s most famous scientist and the richest person by now!”

“Yeah,” Wang Jiahao reminisced, “I still remember the scene when he was escorted away by the SWAT team during class, unforgettable for a lifetime!”

While they were chatting, they received a call from He Xingzhou, saying, “I’ve already arrived at the school, there are too many people here, I can’t come in directly, so come to Professor Zhang’s office.”

If He Xingzhou simply walked into the campus, the school would surely be congested in a second!

“He’s here!” The three hurried to Zhang Boyan’s office.

There, only five people were temporarily present: Dong Chen, the Dean of the Physics School, Professor Zhang Boyan, Professor Cai Hao, and He Xingzhou.

Dong grinned, “Professor Zhang, Professor Cai, remember? This is where we discussed He Xingzhou’s nuclear reactor design proposal. Who would have thought, today, that we’d have nurtured such a talent for our nation!”

Cai Hao laughed, “Lucky I didn’t go to that meal back then.”

Professor Zhang said, “A pearl will never be obscured by dust. Even without that, He Xingzhou would have stood out.”

He Xingzhou helplessly said, “Teachers, you’re embarrassing me with all the compliments.”

Professor Zhang reminded, “Get ready here first, Dong, don’t notify the university president or those leaders just yet, or He Xingzhou won’t get a moment’s peace.”

“Also, He Xingzhou, prepare for your speech later.”

“Mm-hmm,” He Xingzhou nodded, and at this moment, his three roommates also arrived.

Dong said, “Alright, let the young man stay for a while, we’ll go get ready.”

The three left the office to them.

Although they had been bragging all this time, when they were face-to-face with He Xingzhou, the three roommates suddenly felt awkward, unsure of how to interact.

He Xingzhou slapped Wang Jiahao on the shoulder and laughed, “What’s wrong? Has it been just over a year and you guys have become dumber?”

Seeing his demeanor, they then realized that He Xingzhou hadn’t changed, he was still the same person they knew, which reassured them.

Feng Tao joked, “He, just now you were so impressive, I thought I was the bumpkin!”

“Bumpkin?” Zhang Yang exaggerated, “I felt like I was the monkey!”

“I feel like I’m the watermelon that the monkey is gnawing on!” Wang Jiahao mocked.

“You guys really can spin a yarn!” As soon as He Xingzhou heard this, he immediately said, “With all this, you surely haven’t stopped bragging regularly!”

Right away, Feng Tao said, “It’s all Wang Jiahao’s boasting, just now he used you to brag while chatting with a junior!”

“Whoa, you guys dare to throw me under the bus? You remember why that senior girl invited you to dinner, don’t you?” Wang Jiahao shouted back.

“No, no, I was just promoting how awesome He Xingzhou is!”

He Xingzhou quickly blended into this atmosphere, unconcerned about his roommates’ little boasts.

Deep down, He Xingzhou preferred to live a comfortable life, engaging in idle talk, playing games, traveling, and romancing, if only the aliens would agree.

The four didn’t chat long before Zhang Boyan called, asking He Xingzhou to visit the university president’s office. They couldn’t hold off the crowd anymore, too many people wanted to see him.

He Xingzhou had no choice but to go.

Watching He Xingzhou’s retreating figure, the three were deeply moved.

“He is still the same old He, despite having achieved so much, he hasn’t changed a bit,” Wang Jiahao mused.

“True, we should be more careful in our usual behavior, not to cause him any trouble.”

“What nonsense are you spouting? We’re not dumb. Anyone who dares to slander him is looking for trouble with me!”

…

He Xingzhou had a chat with Principal Liu Yuan and others before the graduation ceremony officially began.

The ceremony was held in the school gymnasium, which was now packed to capacity.

Besides the current graduates, there were also some outstanding alumni from previous years, entrepreneurs who came because of the school’s reputation, and the media. The school had no choice but to let them in and ended up setting up a bunch of temporary seats.

As a VIP guest, He Xingzhou was arranged to make his appearance later. Of course, to avoid wasting time.

This year, some of the tedious procedures were omitted, and Principal Liu Yuan took the stage to announce directly: “I declare the Beijing University of Science and Technology graduation ceremony officially commenced!”

“Today, we have important matters, and everyone should know, our distinguished graduate, student He Xingzhou will also participate. So without further ado, let’s get started, please invite the graduates on stage to receive their diplomas.”

The students below clapped excitedly; they came on stage in batches to receive their diplomas and took group photos.

In the past, these people would have wanted to stay on stage a bit longer, but today, the graduates were even more anxious to leave, fearing they would delay He Xingzhou’s appearance.

There was even a student who ran off the stage without remembering to take his diploma, to which Liu Yuan said helplessly: “Why run so fast? I won’t bite!”

“Hahaha!” The crowd burst into laughter.

This year’s ceremony was proceeding at a fast pace, but the graduates below were still getting impatient.

“When is He Xingzhou appearing?”

“I am just waiting to post this on my social media!”

“Do you believe that this year’s graduation ceremony will be written into the school’s history?”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

“Actually, we’ve all benefited from He Xingzhou’s fame. Because of him, our university’s world ranking has soared. Now society says that Science and Technology University is the number one university in the country, all because it produced He Xingzhou!”

“Not to hide it from you guys, I’m from the same major as He Xingzhou, I’ve even dined with him!”

While the students were looking forward to it, the moment for He Xingzhou to finally appear arrived.

Liu Yuan said with a smile: “I hear a lot of chatter below about He Xingzhou. If we don’t let him come up soon, everyone will be impatient to kick me off the stage.”

The crowd laughed again, and Liu Yuan announced loudly: “Now, I would like to invite our outstanding graduate, student He Xingzhou, onto the stage!”

As he finished speaking, the entire arena erupted in applause, and the cheering was deafening!

He Xingzhou walked slowly onto the stage, and before he even spoke, the crowd below became silent as if by mutual agreement.

He Xingzhou started by greeting the principal and teachers. At that moment, the professors and teachers who had taught him also stood by, proudly facing the camera flashes.

“Thank you to the school and the teachers for your cultivation, and thanks also to my classmates for your help…” He Xingzhou briefly said a few words.

Liu Yuan said: “Today is the day you receive your diploma, and the university is proud to have a graduate like you.”

“However, the diploma you will receive today is a bit special, as there are three of them!”

“Three?” He Xingzhou had not been notified before coming.

At that moment, the ceremonial hostess brought up the diplomas.

Professor Zhang picked up the first one and said: “This one is your bachelor’s degree diploma, representing your successful completion of your undergraduate studies at our university and the attainment of your bachelor’s degree.”

He Xingzhou received the first diploma.

Dean Dong Chen picked up the second one and said: “This is your master’s degree diploma in Physics, representing your completion of graduate studies at our original manuscript and the attainment of your master’s degree.”

As he said this, the students below became excited.

“He went straight to the master’s degree; He Xingzhou is really something!”

“That’s just the second one; the third one must be that!”

“This is too impressive, right? I’ve never heard of anyone being able to do this before!”

“It’s not just three; look, the hostess beside has something else in her hands!” He Xingzhou’s classmates looked over and took a deep breath; they knew that today they would witness the most outstanding graduate and the most incredible graduation ceremony in the history of Science and Technology University!

Then Principal Liu Yuan took over, holding the third diploma, and said: “This one in my hand is your doctorate diploma in Physics. Your research achievements have made a tremendous contribution to our country and to the advancement of human technology. You truly deserve this doctorate!”
