Chapter 61 Ready to go home
Seeing the fat man having a good meal, Yang Jing asked with a smile: "Fat man, what's going on? Why did Professor Wilson help me?"
The fat man put down the knife and fork and wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin. He was very satisfied with the meal. Even though Yang Jing had only been out for three days, the fat man had been hungry for three months, so he was really satisfied with this French meal.
"Actually, there is no reason. I often go to Professor Wilson's house for free these days, but the old man stopped doing it and asked me why I didn't eat at my own house and had to come over to eat his old man's meal. So I said you have money and went to France and Germany to waste, so the old man was concerned."
"Damn, you're just slutty. Am I going out to relax, okay?"
The fat man laughed, "Actually, Professor Wilson is caring about you. Do you know that because of the Middle East immigration problem, France and Germany are not very stable, and the whole of Europe is not very good, especially France. How many terrorist attacks have occurred in the past two years? So the professor is afraid that something will happen if you go out alone. Besides, the thesis defense is just like that. If there is any connection, you can arrange it in advance. Professor Wilson and Professor Fishbold have such a good relationship, so it is okay to arrange a defense for you in advance."
Yang Jing was quite moved when he heard the fat man’s explanation.
Professor Wilson is not his tutor, but just because of the fat man's words, he has done this for himself with a touch of affection. He must find an opportunity to thank the old man.
"Fatty, what does Professor Wilson like? You are so familiar with the professor, you must know."
The fat man picked up the knife and fork and ate a piece of steak. "The professor is old and he likes nothing but antiques. Lao Yang, if you have the chance to buy some black tea for the professor, he really likes this kind of thing."
Yang Jing was remembered in his heart.
Then the two of them ate and chatted. After eating French cuisine for more than two hours, they returned to their rental house with unfulfilled feelings.
This cottage is not big, but after living here for two years and staying there for three days, I still feel that this cottage is friendly.
In the next few days, Yang Jing plunged into the library to prepare for the upcoming initial debate.
In fact, there is nothing to prepare for. The initial debate is very simple. Several old professors gather together to ask you a few questions, then point out some minor problems in your thesis, ask you to go back and modify it, and finally conduct the final formal defense.
Although the master's degree defense is a little more complicated than the undergraduate degree defense, it is actually similar. Yang Jing, who has had a graduation defense experience in China, was not very nervous.
However, since Professor Wilson has helped him with favors, if he doesn't take it seriously, he will be a little sorry for the old professor. Even if he acts on the surface, it will be better than making Professor Wilson unhappy.
In fact, defense is just a test method, and the real core lies in your graduation thesis. Yang Jing is still very confident about this. After all, he is also a top student with an IQ of up to 142. A small graduation thesis cannot defeat us!
The first debate on Friday went smoothly. The graduation thesis written by Yang Jing was also unanimously praised by several old professors. Yang Jing also put in a lot of effort into this thesis, so the first debate was basically not picked out by several old professors.
Professor Fishberg was obviously very satisfied with his Chinese disciple, and he told Yang Jing very happily to go back and revise some minor problems in the thesis as soon as possible, and then prepare to conduct a formal graduation thesis defense next Friday.
Yang Jing was reluctant to ask for this request that Fishberg suddenly made.
He really stayed enough in the UK. Being able to go home one day is a great thing for Yang Jing, so he happily agreed to Fishberg's request and promised to pass the final defense at one time.
The following week was also busy. When Friday passed, Yang Jing, with a smile on his face, walked out of the defense venue slowly.
The final graduation thesis defense was just like the initial defense, and Yang Jing also answered the questions raised by some old professors very calmly and wonderfully.
In the end, the old professors who participated in the graduation thesis defense unanimously agreed that Yang Jing's graduation thesis passed.
This means that Yang Jing successfully graduated from Royal Holloway College in the UK.
However, if you want to get your graduation certificate, you still have to wait until the graduation ceremony is opened. The graduation ceremony is scheduled in early November, and there are almost twenty days left.
Yang Jingke didn't want to wait any longer. If he didn't defend the paper in advance, Yang Jing might have been patiently wandering around the European continent for a while. But suddenly, he made the defense in advance and the defense was passed smoothly, so Yang Jingke could no longer hold back his thoughts of going home.
And once this idea can't be suppressed, it will seem like a fire that soars into the sky, making Yang Jing wish he could fly back the next day.
A golden nest is not as good as a straw nest in your own home!
Yang Jing, who lived in the UK thousands of miles away from home for two years, had a deep understanding of this sentence. Especially after coming to the UK, Yang Jing never went home. Now he has finally graduated, and nothing can stop him from going home immediately.
Anyway, you can also get the graduation certificate on your behalf. Just entrust it to the fat man to get it. Getting the graduation certificate on your behalf will work in the UK.
Seeing Yang Jing packing things there, the fat man sighed helplessly and said a whisper: "Alas... the banquet in the world will last for a thousand years, and there must be a day of separation."
Yang Jing was in a good mood and turned around and joked, "What's wrong with you kid today? Isn't it just my brother, I'll go home a few days in advance? You've been here for six years, so it doesn't matter if you wait a few more days. Will we two brothers get together again after returning to China?"
The fat man boredly fiddled with a corner of the bed sheet and said angrily: "You can go home early when you are fine, but who will cook for me when you leave? When I think about going to eat hamburgers again, I feel that life is really boring..."
Yang Jing smiled and shook his head speechlessly, and continued to pack up his own things.
In fact, there is nothing to deal with. Yang Jing is no longer as good as before. Moreover, according to the idea of young people like them, as long as they have money in their pockets, they don’t have to bring anything.
So Yang Jing just packed up the three pieces of cultural relics, a few pieces of clothing and laptop I bought from Lao Huang, and almost finished packing. Yang Jing didn't plan to bring the remaining things back to China, so he left them to the landlord.
Of course, Yang Jing would take out the three watches from the bank safe before leaving. The most precious one would naturally be worn on the wrist. Two pieces bought for my dad and mom can pass the security check with the backpack.
The security checks at British airports are not as abnormal as those in China. The security checks at domestic airports want to take off you naked for inspection, while the security checks in the UK are relatively loose. If Yang Jing’s two watches are in China, they will definitely have to pay taxes, but in the UK, they can usually pass security checks with their backpacks.
As for the watch on the wrist, the security check in the UK basically does not check it, and that is the safest one.
