Chapter 30
Big Head Yang waved his hand at the male student who spoke. “That’s not what I meant. How can I not know Su Yun?”
“What I want to say is that I saw a person who looked very similar to Su Yun on the Shark Fighting Streaming Platform. He’s a boring card throwing streamer!”
Big Head Yang suddenly turned his head, his gaze sharp as if he wanted to interrogate Su Yun.
“Tell me—is that streamer you!”
“It’s me!”
“Confess and be lenient, resist…”
Halfway through his sentence, Big Head Yang was speechless. He wondered if he had heard wrongly. “What did you just say?”
Su Yun picked up a piece of watermelon from the table and placed it in his mouth. He said calmly, “I said, the streamer you’re looking at is me.”
‘Huh?’
This time, everyone could no longer remain calm.
Su Yun had actually become a streamer?
Although the current industry trend was that the livestream industry was thriving, it was not that simple.
Moreover, Su Yun was considered half a top student in their class. He was not very impressive, but it should not be a problem for him to find a company to earn a decent salary.
Why did he switch careers to livestreaming?
Xu Jiajia clearly did not believe it. She asked Su Yun in confusion, “No way, why did you choose to do a livestream?”
Su Yun forked another piece of watermelon. He had long guessed everyone’s surprise. “Don’t look at me like that. It’s not easy to find a job now. I also want to try some new things. Secondly, I want to slack off.”
Many students were deeply moved by Su Yun’s words.
Then, everyone seemed to have thought of something unpleasant, and their eyes dimmed.
“Yeah, it’s really hard to find a job now.”
“That’s right. Otherwise, as someone who studies financial securities, would I go sell insurance to stay at home moms and old uncles? After all, our Hibiscus University is considered first tier college.”
“Sigh, to be honest, I’m still relying on my family’s support. I’ve been away for two months, but I haven’t found a suitable job.”
“I heard that some of the students who go to the coast are accountants from small companies. They only get two thousand yuan for their internship salary. Renting a small single room costs more than two thousand yuan. A month is not enough for the rent.”
“That’s right. A few of our roommates have already said that they want to change careers. How can there be so many professionals?”
“Our profession is nothing more than entering a bank or a financial company, but if these two don’t have any connections, they won’t have a chance.”
“Now that you mention it, we should have changed when we chose the major back then.”
“I say, don’t think that way. Other than the emerging industries, most of the industries are already saturated. The people in the 80s and 70s are in their prime. Who wants young people like us?”
“I agree with that. The industry is saturated. If they don’t change it, we won’t even have the chance to try.”
“With this comparison, I think Su Yun’s choice is very wise. The livestream industry is in the limelight. Perhaps one day, Su Yun will become popular and become a big streamer. He will earn a lot of money. He can sell things and make a lot of money.”
“…”
Seeing that everyone’s conversation was getting more and more serious, Xu Jiajia quickly tried to smooth things over. “Sigh, we can’t think about things like this. If I didn’t choose this major, I wouldn’t have met you guys.”
After hearing Xu Jiajia’s words, everyone realized that they had lost their composure. Today’s theme was Xu Jiajia’s birthday and catching up.
They were all adults. No one was obligated to be a “garbage bin” for their negative emotions.
Therefore, adults had to learn to control themselves and try their best to show positive energy to the people around them.
Su Yun did not participate in everyone’s ridicule about employment, but he was the one who brought up this topic.
Hence, he brought the topic back. “That’s right. Our class belle is right. We have to thank ourselves for our previous choice and achievements in the future.”
After Su Yun said that, everyone suddenly came to a realization.
“That makes sense. Su Yun, you’re really amazing!”
“Now that you mention it, I suddenly feel that it’s not too bad. At least I’ve gained your sincere friendship.”
“That’s right. Well said. Let’s have a toast!”
Big Head Yang raised his wine glass high and said loudly, “Come, let’s toast to the class belle first. We’re going to spend a lot today!”
“Come, come, come. I wish our class belle forever to be 18 and as beautiful as a flower!”
“…”
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, a group of students who had just graduated were nostalgic for their youth. All of them smiled so carefreely. They drank to their hearts’ content and threw all their worries to the back of their minds.
Xu Jiajia suddenly raised her glass and said apologetically, “Fellow classmates, I’ll go to the toilet first. I’ll drink this as a punishment first!”
“Alright, the class belle is generous. Hurry up and come back!”
Seeing Xu Jiajia stumbling out of the room with her bag, a female classmate who had not drunk too much hurried forward to support her.
Not long after the two of them left, Big Head Yang also expressed that he had drunk enough and pulled Su Yun to the toilet.
Hence, everyone began to go to the toilet one after another for a half-time break.
Su Yun did not drink too much. He helped Big Head Yang, who drank the most, to the men’s room.
In the end, Big Head Yang started vomiting as soon as he arrived at the toilet. Su Yun patted his back for a while before the other party calmed down.
Big Head Yang leaned against the wall and said vaguely, “I… I’m fine. I’m happy to meet everyone again today!”
Su Yun patted his back. “If you can’t drink, don’t drink. We’re at a friends gathering, not a work gathering. There’s no need to hurt your health.”
“Yes… Yes, you can go back first. I-I’ll rest for a while.”
Su Yun shook his head. In the end, he helplessly went to the toilet and prepared to return to the private room.
As soon as he reached the corner of the hall, he heard a clamor of exclamations.
Su Yun quickly walked to the front desk of the hall.
She saw Xu Jiajia’s anxious face. The short-haired girl pointed at the door in horror.
The waitress he had met earlier exclaimed, “Thief!”
Thief?
Su Yun went forward and helped the dazed Xu Jiajia up. He asked, “What happened?”
The short-haired female classmate was obviously frightened and sobered up. She pointed at the door and said, “Jiajia’s bag was on the table. The thief stole Jiajia’s bag when we weren’t paying attention and ran out after we found out!”
Was he that arrogant?
Su Yun handed Xu Jiajia’s hand to the short-haired female classmate. “Bring Jiajia back. I’ll chase after the thief!”
With that, Su Yun rushed out…
