Chapter 673: You wait, I'll bag you sooner or later!

Just as Song Yao was defending, in Rongcheng, Longquan Mountain.

Four middle-aged people were sitting leisurely under the shade of a tree.

On Saturday, everyone made an appointment to come to Longquan Mountain to pick peaches. After picking, they just played mahjong at the farmhouse, and in the evening, they could eat firewood chicken, a one-stop service.

"Time passes fast, in a blink of four or five years, Xiaoyao is also about to graduate with a doctorate."

"Yes, sometimes, subconsciously, I still feel that the two of them are children."

Zhang Junli and Wang Xiaping looked at the photos on their phones and began to sigh at the passage of time; both young people had already started their own families and formed their own households.

"When exactly did these two little guys start dating?"

Wang Xiaping recalled her son's college trajectory and felt it was a bit mysterious. This kid is smart, but always had a dangling look, unable to pull out of the circle... and then, it was like he had been enlightened, getting first place and having a girlfriend.

"High school? Or freshman year?"

Zhang Junli actually didn't understand either. If she asked before, her daughter would say they were just friends. Now that she thinks about it, can friends live together? Can friends be stuck together every day?

She could only say that these two people had been in a very new kind of relationship from the beginning.

Wang Xiaping flipped through the photos happily and muttered: "Xiaoyao is graduating, can this young couple arrange the wedding?"

"They said last time to wait until graduation to see."

Zhang Junli also nodded.

Although she sees her daughter is very happy now, she still hopes to see her daughter have a complete wedding, watching her daughter get married...

"You guys should just give up. Looking at their stance, we shouldn't expect to see a wedding this year."

Song Shisong drank tea leisurely, breaking the beautiful imagination of the two middle-aged women.

Xu Shouyun nodded and said with a smile: "Their careers are just starting. Even if they get married, they will probably wait until their careers are more stable before considering it."

"Sigh... that's true. I called back yesterday, both were busy. Xiaoyao was preparing defense materials and had to handle company affairs, and Qingzhou had been in the lab for a week."

"Garlic bird, garlic bird, young people have their own ideas..."

Xu Shouyun sipped his tea.

"The defense is over. Come on, let's play mahjong."

"Let's go, let's go, I'm telling you, last week I played with them..."

Seeing Xu Qingzhou post in the group that the defense was over, the two pairs of parents nodded with a smile. Actually, there was nothing to worry about, just as Xu Qingzhou said.

If even Song Yao couldn't pass the defense, then the doctoral graduates of Jingda this year would probably all have to repeat the year.

Song Yao's graduation defense went very smoothly.

Off the stage, the professors smiled with satisfaction. If they didn't know this was Song Yao's thesis, they would have thought it was some professor's research.

In contrast, the surrounding students had complex expressions.

They were all doctoral graduation defenses, but they truly felt the gap.

Crushed.

The judges discussed in low voices, seemingly quickly forming a unified opinion.

Professor Yue Haochang, who served as the chairman, spoke.

"Student Song Yao's graduation thesis has a frontier nature, a complete structure, scientific research methods, and innovative conclusions, meeting the requirements for the conferment of a doctoral degree. After the defense committee held a closed-door meeting and voted, it was unanimously agreed to pass her doctoral thesis defense and recommended the conferment of a Doctor of Economics degree."

The defense room erupted in intense applause.

Thus, it meant that Song Yao's doctoral career had ended.

Song Yao expressed her gratitude to the professors off the stage, then calmly stepped down, only to notice that Xu Qingzhou was not in his seat, and then saw this guy walking in from the side door, holding a bouquet of lilies.

After passing the defense, they usually take photos on the spot.

Xu Qingzhou sent the flowers over and said in a low voice: "Teacher Song, impressive."

"There's no need to say what everyone already knows," Song Yao said in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Watch your image."

"Chee~"

At this time, Professor Li Daiyue had already walked over, with a smile between her brows, "Congratulations, successfully passing the defense."

Song Yao said: "Thank you, Professor, for your care and concern over the past few years."

"It's all the result of your own hard work."

Li Daiyue shook her head with a smile. Song Yao might be the most worry-free student she has ever brought; she understands everything with a single point, draws inferences about other cases from one instance, and she doesn't need to worry at all.

Song Yao took photos with the defense teachers. ===== CHAPTER 674 =====
