When Ding Ruola learned that the decision on this matter was in her hands, she instantly let out a sigh of relief. She felt much more relaxed.
"Old Fang, the thesis defense will be in a few days. After that, I'll finally graduate."
Fang Siyan was holding a newspaper in his hand and didn't hear a word Ding Ruola said.
"Old Fang!"
Ding Ruola leaned over and called out to him. Only then did Fang Siyan show some reaction.
"What's wrong, Old Fang? You're not enthusiastic at all. You don't even look at me."
Fang Siyan had no choice but to put down the newspaper in his hand and lean against Ding Ruola's side.
"How's your thesis going?"
Ding Ruola had to submit two theses, one for the School of Art and Design and the other for the School of Economics and Management.
She spread her hands, indicating that it was just so - so. The typesetting of the thesis gave her a headache.
Each teacher had different requirements for thesis typesetting. At first, Ding Ruola typeset it according to the tutorial she found online, but unexpectedly, the teacher changed the requirements.
She finally managed to make the changes, but the requirements of the teacher in charge of the graduation project were different from those of the teaching teacher.
For the first time, Ding Ruola thought that having too many functions in office software was a bad thing.
"Let me take a look for you!"
Fang Siyan knew that she had to make another round of changes because the Student Affairs Office had new requirements this year.
When he was halfway through the changes, he asked, "Have you checked the plagiarism rate?"
Plagiarism check?
Ding Ruola's expression had already given her away.
Fang Siyan was very helpless. He logged into his account on CNKI, copied and pasted Ding Ruola's thesis into it, and found that the repetition rate was nearly 30%.
"Your repetition rate is a bit high. The school requires it to be reduced to 10%."
Ding Ruola stared at the computer screen, completely stunned. Just when she thought she was about to finish, there was a new task.
After receiving the plagiarism check report from CNKI, she started to make changes word by word.
"The parts I copied and pasted won't be detected, but the parts I wrote myself are all repetitive."
Fang Siyan sat beside Ding Ruola with a smile on his face, offering some suggestions from time to time.
"I don't know when I'll be able to finish these changes."
Fang Siyan stroked Ding Ruola's head. Actually, there was no need to be in a hurry for the thesis. There were still two weeks of preparation time.
She banged her head against the keyboard. It was really too difficult.
Before going to bed at night, she specifically searched for why the school's requirement for the thesis repetition rate was so low.
The first result was an article about Zhai Tiantian.
Thesis fraud had caused trouble for a lot of people.
To relax, Ding Ruola specifically clicked on Zhai Tiantian's Weibo.
There were all kinds of scolding from students below. It seemed that everyone was coming to scold Zhai Tiantian.
Fang Siyan was lying beside Ding Ruola, but she didn't even look at him. Curious, he crawled over beside her, leaned over the phone, and observed what she was looking at.
"It's nothing. People who like to show off the most... People in the entertainment industry..."
He stopped halfway through his sentence. He suddenly realized that Ding Ruola had a friend in the entertainment industry.
If he said something inappropriate, Ding Ruola would argue with him about it.
"I just want to scold this Zhai Tiantian now."
Just thinking about her thesis, Ding Ruola felt like crying.
"I'm so miserable."
"Really? I don't believe it."
Ding Ruola turned over and looked at the man beside her in disbelief.
Was he playing the meme of Lu Yu with her?
To make Ding Ruola happy, Fang Siyan had no choice but to start learning new internet memes. He even downloaded B - station for this purpose.
"Go to sleep, baby!"
Hearing the order to go to sleep, Ding Ruola snuggled into Fang Siyan's arms.
The man smelled of clean soap, fresh and not greasy.
The next day when she got to school, she saw Bi Shuang walking towards her with a piece of clothing in her arms. The edge of the academic gown was green. This green was a bit eye - catching.
"Go and change your clothes quickly. We'll take graduation photos soon."
Ding Ruola looked at the clothes in her hand. She raised her hand and checked her face with her phone.
She looked terrible. She was extremely haggard.
She had no energy at all.
"Are you sure it's okay to be in this state?"
Bi Shuang also noticed the heavy dark circles under Ding Ruola's eyes.
She shook her head helplessly. It seemed that Ding Ruola was so "happy" that she didn't take care of her body. Fortunately, Bi Shuang knew a makeup artist from the school's cosplay club.
The two of them went there. There were not many people at the makeup artist's place. The makeup artist quickly covered the heavy dark circles under Ding Ruola's eyes.
The makeup was clean and brought out all the advantages of Ding Ruola's face.
Especially her eyes. While doing the makeup, the makeup artist kept praising Ding Ruola's eyes.
This was the dream of many cosplay players.
"All done!"
Since Ding Ruola was beautiful, the most she would do for makeup was to draw her eyebrows and put on some lipstick.
She had no idea about fancy makeup like high - lighting and contouring.
"How do you feel?"
Bi Shuang and the makeup artist stood behind and watched Ding Ruola looking at herself in the mirror.
Ding Ruola was very satisfied with today's makeup. Her originally listless eyes looked brand - new after the makeup artist's touch.
For graduation photos, the more unusual the better. Everyone hoped that this era would remember them.
They were all trying hard to be remembered, to be remembered by society.
Ding Ruola was dragged by Bi Shuang to run around the campus.
"Why do you have so much energy today?"
"I got into Keda Media through the spring recruitment."
Keda Media was a company second only to Pandora Media.
Ding Ruola was a bit confused. She didn't understand why Bi Shuang didn't go to her parents' company. She was the only child in the family, and she would have to take care of the family business in the future.
This was Bi Shuang's private matter, so Ding Ruola didn't feel comfortable asking directly.
The two of them stopped discussing the job - hunting matter.
Two weeks later, Ding Ruola submitted her thesis, and the defense was also completed that week.
Since her grades were good, she and Fang Siyan went out to celebrate. Just after they finished their meal, she received a message in her QQ email.
"An internship notice from Fangyuan Group!"
Ding Ruola was a bit hesitant. She didn't know how to choose. If she missed this opportunity to work in such a big company, she didn't know when she would get another chance. But there was also the matter of the studio.
"Manager Zhang has decided that you can put the studio on hold for now. Jiang Chen and Claudia have good leadership abilities."
Fang Siyan's words were all about persuading Ding Ruola to work for Fangyuan Group.
Fortunately, Manager Zhang gave her plenty of time. She had a whole week to consider.
In the following week, Ding Ruola focused all her attention on the studio. She made a work plan for the second half of the year and asked the main members of the studio to arrange work for the others according to it.
The fact that Ding Ruola could make such an arrangement showed that her determination to go to Fangyuan Group had been set.
On her first day of work, she received special treatment.
Zhang Wei took Ding Ruola to the public work area to introduce her.
The old employees in the company saw Zhang Wei's attitude towards Ding Ruola and were all guessing her identity.
Zhang Wei really admired this girl after she had worked for half a day.
The document she submitted that day was the result that several old employees would take a whole day to produce.
