Chapter 1079: Chapter 940: Scholarship Fund

Without wasting too much time, after some cordial interaction with his classmates and demonstrating his "people-loving" good image, Wang Ye waved goodbye to everyone.

Before leaving, he joked that the Graduation Ceremony was about to begin, and if he was late, there’s a chance the Chancellor might not give him his Diploma!

Although the joke was a bit cold, the students at the scene still joined in with a hearty laugh.

Everyone knew that even if he didn’t show up today, there was no chance he wouldn’t receive his diploma. After all, he was the most promising student to come out of Moscow University in recent decades!

Truthfully, if during the ceremony the Chancellor announced that Wang Ye was to be awarded an honorary Doctorate, or even to be appointed as a visiting Professor, nobody would be the least bit surprised!

Because he deserved it...

With many students watching on, the motorcade slowly started and headed towards the main building of Moscow University.

Today’s Graduation Ceremony was held in the largest auditorium of Moscow University’s main building.

......

When Wang Ye arrived at the auditorium, the school leaders had been waiting for quite some time.

Although it’s somewhat inappropriate for teachers to wait for a student, it was obvious that no one minded this detail, as Wang Ye’s status had long surpassed that of an ordinary student.

Not to mention ordinary faculty, even the Chancellor would have to schedule an appointment with Wang Ye’s Secretary in advance to meet him...

Therefore, these school leaders and teachers had long stopped treating Wang Ye as a normal student.

Seeing Wang Ye enter, guided by staff members, the Chancellor greeted him with a smile on his face.

After a firm handshake with Wang Ye, he said with a smile, "Mikhail, aside from delivering a speech as a representative of the graduates today, there’s also another matter I’d like to discuss with you."

Wang Ye nodded with a smile, "What’s the matter, Chancellor, please tell me."

"You’ve been selected as the school’s distinguished alumnus, you knew about that, right?"

Wang Ye nodded, "The department head mentioned it to me a couple of days ago."

The Chancellor continued, "But I’ve heard you haven’t yet decided whether you want to continue with your postgraduate or doctoral studies, is that right?"

This matter was indeed brought up when the department head sought out Wang Ye a few days earlier.

Of course, the department head wanted Wang Ye to continue studying at Moscow University until he completed his Doctorate, as having such a "real god" in his department gave him enormous prestige wherever he went.

Yet Wang Ye was still hesitant.

He could foresee that even if he continued his studies, there wouldn’t be much time for classes.

Of course, even if he didn’t attend a single class, he would still be able to graduate smoothly and obtain his Doctorate.

But such a degree would be merely nominal, failing to add any prestige to his name and might even become a "weak point" for political adversaries to attack him with!

Though such attacks would likely be harmless...

"Yes, I am worried about not having enough time, as you know, I’ve been getting busier these past two years. I was able to graduate with my Bachelor’s because my teachers were generous. For a Master’s or Doctorate, I would have to write a Thesis and work on Scientific Research Projects..." Wang Ye said with some difficulty.

In reality, these were not problems for him; even without his intervention, there would naturally be people who would handle all of these things for him.

But Wang Ye felt it was unnecessary, as he didn’t need the Doctorate title.

Hearing Wang Ye say this, the Chancellor nodded in understanding, then added, "Since you don’t wish to continue, we won’t force you. But you still need to have this Doctorate degree, especially since your capabilities are by no means inferior to any Doctorate holder. Therefore, today I will be presenting you with an honorary Doctorate, and I hope you won’t decline it!"

So, they had been waiting for Wang Ye all this time.

It seems he couldn’t refuse the Doctorate even if he wanted to...

Wang Ye didn’t play coy and said with a cheerful laugh, "That’s wonderful, to receive a Doctorate without spending years on it. I naturally won’t refuse such an opportunity, thank you, Chancellor!"

Thinking about it is rather astonishing.

Those from Wang Ye’s graduating class, like Nalan Yaqi, Song Xiaogang, and his other classmates.

They all enrolled the same year, and others worked hard for four years, with every exam taken in trembling fear of failing.

A single failure could mean at least a "loss" of five hundred US dollars per subject!

In the end, a considerable number of students couldn’t obtain their diplomas smoothly, and those who did had reason to cheer.

As for Wang Ye, who was rarely seen on campus in four years, he graduated with Full Excellence.

If that was all, it might be fine, but what’s even more outrageous is that while everyone else was just completing their Bachelor’s degree, Wang Ye was graduating with both his Bachelor’s and his Doctorate...

In the future, he could be called "Dr. Wang"...

Oh, but that’s not right, "Wang Ye" has already disappeared in Russia, and now there’s only Mikhail, so it should be "Dr. Mikhail"!

......

After the Graduation Ceremony began, Wang Ye took the stage to give a speech.

However, he didn’t spout any empty slogans or preach grand principles; instead, he spoke earnestly with everyone about future employment and development prospects.

Of course, he also confidently assured all the graduates that in the coming years, Russia—or more precisely, the two major cities of Moscow and Petersburg—were going to experience a tremendous wave of development!
