Since no information could be gathered, Su Xiaotian stopped inquiring.
However, soon a nationwide campaign to rectify cadres' work styles was launched.
Even the atmosphere at the Translation Department became more tense.
Su Xiaotian also devoted herself wholeheartedly to her work.
Time passed day by day in such tension.
The only good news during this period was that Zhao Hongmei and Gu Chengxuan had established a relationship.
Although they were still in the dating phase, this era was not like the later times when dating could last for seven or eight rounds.
In this era, the Great Man's words, "All love that does not aim at marriage is a mockery," were still regarded by most people as a creed for love.
Although Chi Yiyuan was also very busy, he would go home every evening to accompany Grandpa Chi, and he would try his best to make time to meet Su Xiaotian alone on weekends.
However, up to this point, the two had not established a clear romantic relationship.
Su Xiaotian was now a young lady, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange about Chi Yiyuan's behavior.
In her heart, she also had a good impression of Chi Yiyuan.
She had even thought about whether they could get along amicably in the future.
Soon, a semester ended, and as July approached, Su Xiaotian and the others finished their internships.
The graduating students returned to school with their internship evaluation reports, and the next step was the final university examination.
After passing this exam, they would be able to receive their graduation certificates and leave the university.
The girls in Dorm 314 cherished their last moments together.
As for the others, it didn't matter much, as they could still see each other. Only Qi Xiaofang and Chu Yue had already decided to leave Beijing after graduation.
As for Qian Xiaobei, she planned to stay in Beijing for a year and then return to Licheng with Sun Xiaoyu after Sun Xiaoyu graduated.
The girls were at an age where they were particularly sentimental, and they all thought that once they left, they didn't know when they would see each other again.
Each of them felt a little sad.
To leave the most beautiful memories, Su Xiaotian spent points to redeem a camera from the system mall.
Su Xiaotian's camera had much better functions and performance than the cameras available on the market at that time.
When Su Xiaotian took out the new camera, the girls in the dormitory went wild with joy.
"Xiaotian, I've never seen this camera before. Is it the latest model?" Chu Yue examined it from left to right, and indeed, she had never seen it.
Due to her family background, she had seen many good things and several types of cameras, but none were as good as the one Su Xiaotian held.
"This is the latest model from Germany, a gift from a German friend. I've been reluctant to use it. This is the first time I'm taking it out, just to commemorate our university graduation."
The other girls didn't find anything wrong with Su Xiaotian's explanation.
Su Xiaotian already had German friends, and it was heard that Su's fourth brother had also gone to Germany some time ago.
Chi Yiyuan himself had just returned from studying in Germany, so perhaps the Su family had many friends in Germany.
Su Xiaotian was indeed worried that others would ask.
Fortunately, the others had already made their own assumptions and didn't ask any questions.
"The weather is great tonight, and it should be sunny tomorrow. Let's wear our most beautiful clothes and take pictures to leave the most beautiful memories of our youth," Zhao Hongmei said with a smile.
People immersed in love are happy every moment.
The other classmates naturally agreed enthusiastically.
As graduation approached, they wanted to leave something behind as a memory.
What could be more beautiful than looking back at the past with a photo album when one is old?
Since they had decided to take photos, the girls started chattering about what to wear the next day.
It had to be said that girls at this age often suffered from indecisiveness.
Fortunately, they were taking pictures on campus, so they could return to the dormitory to change clothes, and even if they didn't come back, they would have to return for lunch.
The problem was thus solved.
The night passed without incident.
The next morning, the girls all put on their most beautiful clothes.
Now, they all had money, so they were naturally willing to spend it on dressing themselves up.
After dressing up grandly, they went to various places on campus to take pictures, attracting the attention of many classmates.
No matter when, it is very true that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles.
The girls, who were already young, beautiful, and lovely, looked very pleasing to the eye when they dressed up.
Under the gaze of many people, they were not stage-frightened.
Some junior students even came forward to ask for photos with them.
The girls left precious photos in every corner of the campus.
Everyone knew in their hearts that they might walk into the university campus again in the future.
But when they entered the university gates again, their feelings would be completely different from now.
Now, they were still the owners of this school.
But in the future, when they returned, they would be guests.
While taking pictures, everyone had smiles on their faces, but there was a hint of forcedness and reluctance in their smiles.
Especially Qian Xiaobei, who couldn't help but hug the others and cry.
When Qian Xiaobei started crying, the other girls finally couldn't hold back their tears.
The students who had come out happily ended up sitting on the benches under the tree-lined path and became melancholic.
Qian Xiaobei was particularly sad.
She had been disliked by her family since she was young and was very timid when she first arrived at school.
It was only because her classmates had helped and taken care of her over the years that she had reached this point.
Therefore, her feelings for her classmates were the deepest.
In her heart, she had already regarded the girls in the dormitory as her closest sisters.
And now, before they could even spend enough time together, her sisters were going their separate ways!
Qian Xiaobei now, compared to her initial state, was confident and beautiful, and could express her feelings well.
She was no longer timid as she had been when she first arrived at school.
Moreover, she had already decided to break free from everything her original family had brought her.
After graduating from university, she planned to send thirty yuan to her family every month as their old-age support.
She had discussed this with Sun Xiaoyu, and Sun Xiaoyu strongly supported it.
No matter how wrong Qian Xiaobei's parents were, they had raised Qian Xiaobei, and Qian Xiaobei should support them.
In this era, a worker's salary was only sixty to seventy yuan. Sending back thirty yuan a month was equivalent to half of a worker's salary.
They both felt that Qian Xiaobei's parents should be satisfied.
For Sun Xiaoyu, who had already earned a lot of money and planned to start a business in his hometown, thirty yuan was really not much.
Giving it out would not affect his current life.
The most important thing was that if thirty yuan could allow Qian Xiaobei's parents to live peacefully in their hometown and not bother Qian Xiaobei, it would be worth it.
However, Sun Xiaoyu firmly opposed Qian Xiaobei sending the money herself.
He suggested entrusting others who remained in Beijing to help mail the money.
Even if it was mailed from Beijing, it would be best to mail it from different addresses.
Although she did not oppose supporting Qian Xiaobei's parents, she detested them from the bottom of her heart.
