Chapter 1221 Acquaintances?

There are three classes in their major, and Jiang Tao is the advisor for all of them. They are in Class 2, which means that the advisor had already been to one of the classes before.

After the counselor left, the class monitor stood up and greeted the students in the class.

"Make sure you know the location and venue for your defense. There are signs downstairs. If you don't know your venue, go check it out. Make sure you're there and don't be late!"

It has to be said that the class monitor is the class monitor. Even though graduation is approaching, he still stood firm at his post until the very end. Of course, over the years, everyone has become familiar with how the class monitor steps up to take charge in such matters.

They knew the time of their defense, but they still needed to go down to see the venue. However, Lin Mo and his group were very confident, obviously they already knew, and even made a special trip down to confirm it before they came.

Who among us is going to defend their thesis today?

Downstairs, the class monitor looked at the group and asked.

The girl from Sichuan raised her hand: "I'm here this afternoon, I'm free this morning!"

Lin Mo: "Me too, this afternoon, but I'm in the lower order, I might end up at the end!"

He Xiaoyue looked miserable: "I'm supposed to go this morning, I have to go soon, why am I so unlucky?"

I was hoping you guys would go in first and come out to share your experiences with me. Are there any others like me who came this morning?

Upon hearing this, the remaining three shook their heads in unison.

Old Zhao: "I'm scheduled for tomorrow morning, I'm free today!"

Director Wang: "Me too!"

Squad leader: "I'll be near the front tomorrow afternoon, so I should be one of the first few. That means we should all be free tomorrow afternoon!"

Because there are many people defending their theses, all senior students from various majors will be defending their theses over these two days, so there are also many venues available.

Secondly, there's the ranking. For example, some people who were ranked earlier went in and came out earlier, while those who were ranked later could only wait there.

Lin Mo was like that. This afternoon's show was scheduled for a later date, which meant he had to get there early to avoid any unforeseen circumstances. Waiting in line outside was very tedious.

Although everyone knew they were at the back of the class, no one knew everyone's defense time; some were quick, some were slow, so everyone had to wait inside.

"Alright, Xiaoyue, you should go and get ready. Don't come with us," Lin Mo said.

Class monitor: "Yes, yes, don't worry, almost everyone will pass. Don't be nervous, keep going!"

"Exactly, what could possibly happen? Even if you don't win, you're nearby, you can always come back for the second debate."

"You're not in another city, it's inconvenient for you to come back!" the Sichuan girl said.

Hearing this, He Xiaoyue rolled her eyes at him: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute, but you're cursing me. Go ahead and spit it out!"

Finally, Chuanmei was shaken so much by He Xiaoyue that she had no choice but to spit twice and admit that she was a jinx. Only then did He Xiaoyue give up and jog towards her defense venue.

"Alright, what should we do now?" Chuanmei asked.

Lin Mo: "Let's rob a bank!"

Sichuan girl:? ? ?

"Are you crazy? Does your bank belong to your sixth uncle? You think you can just rob it like that?"

Lin Mo rolled her eyes at him and spat, "If you know you can't steal it, why don't you go back? Go back to the studio, or go to your place, and find somewhere to eat lunch. You can't just stand here!"

The group then went to the studio. Miss Yuan knew they had to defend their dissertations today, so she stayed in bed and didn't get up at all. She didn't even plan to get up in the afternoon and was going to wait for the Qingshui Watai project in the evening.

After they returned, they each took their papers and began reviewing them in the studio. As the saying goes, even last-minute cramming can be effective.

"Old Zhao, don't overwork yourself!" After everyone had reviewed for a while, Lin Mo came out and asked Old Zhao for a cigarette while he was out for a smoke.

"Me? I'm not tired. But you, you've even learned to smoke?" Old Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

This time, Lin Mo clearly sensed that Lao Zhao's smile was somewhat forced. He then shook his head, lit a cigarette, and said, "It's nothing, I just feel like you're very tired. If you have any difficulties, you can talk to us brothers."

Three cobblers with their wits combined can equal one Zhuge Liang. Besides, there are so many of us here. Don't keep everything bottled up inside; it's bad for your health.

"You don't know this, do you? Professor Mu from our school is now my teacher—of course, that's just in name. But her husband is a professor at the medical school, and I'm now Professor Li's last disciple, also studying Traditional Chinese Medicine on the side. Your complexion is really terrible!"

His pulse diagnosis skills were useless on Lao Zhao, otherwise he would have tried it long ago. However, even so, he could see that Lao Zhao's complexion was not good, his body was very weak, and his spirit was also very low, as if he was carrying a lot of psychological pressure.

"Hey, I'm just too tired from work, really. What could possibly be wrong with me? Don't worry, I'll definitely tell you guys if something happens. With your and Chuanzi's current abilities, even if I owe hundreds of thousands in online loans, I'd dare to ask. At worst, I'll sell myself to you two to pay off the debt!" Old Zhao said, pretending to be relaxed.

Seeing that he refused to talk, Lin Mo patted him on the shoulder and didn't press him further.

Among the four of them, Lao Zhao was always the most thoughtful and opinionated. If he didn't ask, no one could get the answer from him.

"Okay, just let me know if you need anything, big or small, anything is fine!" Lin Mo said.

The group studied in the studio for a while, especially Lin Mo and Chuan Mei, who were under some pressure as they had to defend their theses that afternoon.

At noon, squad leader Wang rode his electric scooter to the canteen to get food and came back shortly after. He Xiaoyue came running back.

"How's it going? Is everything alright?"

As soon as He Xiaoyue entered, everyone stood up, and the class monitor even asked her a question.

"It was alright, I was a little nervous. I was fine when I was explaining myself, I just stuttered a couple of times. When the teacher asked me questions, I was a little nervous and my speech wasn't very fluent, but I answered them all!"

"Won't I fail because I can't speak fluently?" He Xiaoyue asked nervously.

Upon hearing this, the class monitor waved his hand: "No, no, don't worry! As long as you answered them all, it won't be that difficult. This isn't a civil service interview, it's not that strict!"

"That's right, don't worry, Xiaoyue. I checked, and our school's graduation rate is over 97% every year. What are you afraid of?" Old Zhao said easily.

As for the very few who fail to graduate or graduate late, it's either because they didn't earn enough credits, skipped classes, failed courses, or simply gave up. In short, it's really not that difficult.

Hearing this comforting words, He Xiaoyue finally relaxed.

Since things have already come to this, there's no point in thinking about it anymore. At worst, we'll just have to defend our thesis a second time.

Soon everyone started eating, and during the meal, they asked He Xiaoyue about the content and process of her thesis defense.

At 1:30 pm, Lin Mo and Chuan Mei took their things and headed to their defense. They were in the same venue, but Chuan Mei was ranked higher. After the afternoon session started, Chuan Mei was the third to go in. She left with a relaxed expression after more than ten minutes, leaving Lin Mo alone to wait.

Soon it was past four in the afternoon, and there were still several people ahead of him. He was stretching and relaxing outside.

"Lin Linmo?"

Suddenly a voice came from behind. Turning around, I saw a slender figure wearing a mask.

Perhaps noticing the doubt in his eyes, the person removed their mask and smiled, "It's me!"
