Chapter 158: "Top Ten Outstanding Young People in Jingcheng"
Zhou Wang came out of the principal's office, stunned and speechless.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand towards Jiang Qingkui who was standing aside. Jiang Qingkui knew what he wanted and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, because Zhou Wang always carried the cigarettes by himself and would not put them here with her...
But she didn't say anything. Instead, she reached out and took out a cigarette and lighter from Zhou Wang's pocket, and lit it for him with a slightly awkward technique.
Zhou Wang didn't feel anything was wrong, but after blowing out the smoke, his expression seemed to calm down.
"Qingkui..."
"I am here."
"How likely is it that Principal Li said this?"
"Although Principal Li said it conservatively, it should be their language habit. Since she mentioned it in person like this, it should be a sure thing, right?"
After Jiang Qingkui finished speaking, she couldn't help but chuckle and said, "It's rare to see you so excited."
"Excited?"
Zhou Wang was startled, then shook his head, "This is not excitement, it's... trance."
"In a trance?" Jiang Qingkui was a little confused.
"It's hard to explain to you." Zhou Wang smiled and said, "It just feels a bit unreal. A person like me can also participate in the 'Jingcheng Ten Outstanding Youths'..."
"Someone like you?"
Jiang Qingkui blinked, "Are you bad? You started from scratch and owned hundreds of millions of wealth in your early twenties. Not only is it unique, but looking at the whole country, it is as rare as a rare thing."
Jiang Qingkui said with a faint smile, "Didn't you hear the principal's praise for you? She said that you can even apply for the top ten outstanding young people in Yunnan Province..."
"That's not enough. I know myself."
Zhou Wang waved his hand.
The reason why he was in a daze came from Principal Li Xiuwen's suggestion more than ten minutes ago.
After confirming that the 10 million donation in the account did come from Zhou Wang and that it was not an operational error by Zhou Wang, Principal Li Xiuwen even lost his temper in his excitement.
However, she was quite candid. After saying a more official thank you, she had a heart-to-heart exchange with Zhou Wang, a young alumnus.
Although Li Xiuwen couldn't explain many things clearly, the point-to-point communication was enough to make Zhou Wang understand many things.
His historic donation amounting to 10 million has a significant impact.
The significance of this is not only for Jingcheng No. 1 Middle School, but also for her, Li Xiuwen.
So probably as a way of reciprocating a favor, Li Xiuwen offered to help him apply for one of the "Top Ten Outstanding Young People in Jingcheng".
This is an honorary title officially endorsed by Jingcheng. It is selected every two years. It has a certificate, will be published in newspapers, and will be included in local annals...
The scope of selection is outstanding young representatives from all walks of life ranging from 18 to 40 years old.
According to Li Xiuwen, Zhou Wang has great hope of being selected.
But in fact, Zhou Wang knew full well that this was still a win-win situation for Li Xiuwen. After all, Zhou Wang was the student she actually "brought out" after she became the principal.
Zhou Wang's honor is equal to the honor of Jingcheng No. 1 Middle School, and her honor...
Of course, no matter what, this is also a good thing for Zhou Wang. After donating 10 million, he got an unexpected gain in "fame".
And this level of honor really can't be bought simply by throwing money at it.
After all, in a sense, this is a layer of "protective color", which allows Zhou Wang to enjoy the convenience brought by wealth with more peace of mind.
Therefore, Zhou Wang reasonably believed that this was also the [Divine Luck Halo] at work.
From the reward for honoring parents, to the fact that Li Xiuwen urgently needed such a huge donation to make a fuss, it echoed back and forth.
If you think about it this way, coupled with the more than 10 million won from the lottery, the [Divine Luck Halo] fits the criteria of a "golden magic ball".
Zhou Wang was thinking about it when the system prompt rang.
bite!
[Realistic interaction completed]
[The industrial and commercial registration information has been changed, and the host successfully obtained 30% of the equity of "Modu Jiahui International Hospital"]
Got the equity?
Zhou Wang glanced at the system prompts and found that the corresponding contract had been deposited at Yunshangyun Law Firm in Shanghai, and he could receive it at any time.
"Mr. Zhou, let's go. The ceremony will start in just a few minutes. Are you ready to speak on stage?"
Jiang Qingkui asked at this time.
"With you here, what else should I prepare? Damn it."
The incident happened suddenly, and Zhou Wang was extremely prepared, but he didn't panic at all. He just spread his hands and said very bachelorly.
It is said that there are two levels of secretaries, "something happens" and "nothing happens". For the time being, the relationship between the two has not reached the second level, so Zhou Wang can only squeeze on the first level.
"There should be enough time. Let me prepare a text outline for you and send it to your mobile phone shortly."
Jiang Qingkui immediately nodded in agreement.
...
When the two returned to the lecture theater, most people had already sat in their seats.
Including the representatives of the alumni association who were in the small conference room, most of them have already taken their seats. Only Principal Li Xiuwen and official representatives have not yet attended.
What's more embarrassing is that specially invited alumni like Jiang Qingkui have a front row seat and her nameplate is placed on the seat, but Zhou Wang can only sit in the private seats at the back.
"Mr. Zhou, how about..."
"It's just a seat. It doesn't matter. Besides, it's your nameplate. It doesn't matter if I sit there. That's it. I'll sit in the back with my classmates."
Jiang Qingkui was rejected by Zhou Wang as soon as he opened his mouth. He waved his hand, and without waiting for Jiang Qingkui to say more, he walked towards the back along the aisle next to him.
Jiang Qingkui could only shake her head and sat helplessly in the front row.
Representatives of young alumni were all arranged together. Next to Jiang Qingkui's seat were Zhong Huilan and Lu Bo. Seeing Jiang Qingkui take his seat, Zhong Huilan smiled and said hello, and Lu Bo, who was silently reading his speech with his head down, also raised his head. Hehe laughed and said:
"Hey, Junior Sister Jiang, where's Junior Zhou Wang... Oh, I forgot he doesn't have a seat here."
Jiang Qingkui originally didn't want to talk to Lu Bo, but when she glanced up and saw the speech in his hand, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of sarcasm. She thought about it and asked with a chuckle:
"Senior Brother Lu, you have prepared this manuscript very carefully, and it is actually written by hand."
Lu Bo was startled. Although Jiang Qingkui's tone was a bit inexplicable, she actually smiled at him for the first time!
Lu Bo felt really flattered.
This is Jiang Qingkui who has always been cold towards everyone...
When Lu Bo's head became hot, he straightened his back unconsciously, coughed lightly and said with a smile:
"Junior sister Jiang, although I am studying medicine, I was also the president of the literary club when I was at Tsinghua University, so I have higher requirements for words... Well, this manuscript really cost me a lot of time. It took a whole day to polish it after writing it!"
Listening to Lu Bo's boast, Jiang Qingkui, who was opening her phone to search for a speech template, originally just wanted to make another sarcastic comment, but when she was about to speak, she was startled.
Huh?
Jiang Qingkui blinked and smiled at Lu Bo again, "Senior Brother Lu, can I admire your literary talents in advance?" "Of course, there is nothing to keep secret. After all, I will read it later. "
Lu Bo didn't think much about it, and was even a little excited... It turns out that Junior Sister Jiang likes talented people!
Damn it, why couldn't he remember to mention this before?
He handed the speech to Jiang Qingkui and listened to the soft "thank you" from the other party. Lu Bo felt relaxed all over.
Jiang Qingkui's "very different" attitude from before also gave Lu Bo some misunderstandings. He glanced in the direction behind him and seemed to understand something.
"Junior Sister Jiang, could it be that you finally understood the true nature of Junior Zhou Wang?"
"Huh? What's the essence?"
Jiang Qingkui was busy "learning from" Lu Bo's speech and said casually after hearing the words.
"It's just...the grandiose nature of the rich second generation!"
Lu Bo originally wanted to be more subtle, but he couldn't find the right words, so he could only say bluntly:
"People like them may have a lot of money at home, but that doesn't mean it's their own wealth. Even if you look around the country, how many people can you find, Junior Sister Jiang, who can spend over 100 million yuan at this age?"
"Um..."
"Haha, he is really capable of bragging. He also acquired Jiahui International, not to mention the donation to this foundation. I admire him even if he can donate more than 100,000!"
"Uh-huh..."
Jiang Qingkui's absent-minded response refreshed Lu Bo's spirits.
"So, Junior Sister Jiang, you still have to be careful and don't..."
He talked a lot incessantly, but Jiang Qingkui had no obvious reaction, which made Zhong Huilan, who was sitting between the two of them, a little annoyed.
Until Zhong Huilan couldn't hold back her curiosity and glanced at Jiang Qingkui, who had been tinkering with her mobile phone, she couldn't help but be stunned.
What is Junior Sister Jiang doing?
Is Lu Bo's literary talent really so good that Junior Sister Jiang even resorted to "text recognition" to save this manuscript?
Amid Zhong Huilan's confusion, Jiang Qingkui finally raised her head and returned the manuscript to Lu Bo.
"Thank you... By the way, Senior Brother Lu, what did you just say?"
"I...it's nothing."
Lu Bo's expression froze, but when he thought that Jiang Qingkui didn't listen to him seriously because he was obsessed with his article, his mood improved again.
...
The lecture theater was already full, and it was really not easy to find an empty seat. Fortunately, Lao Ji helped him occupy a seat in advance. When Zhou Wang walked over, he saw him waving.
In addition to Lao Ji, Lao Guo and the classmates he met just now are also sitting here.
Interestingly, when Zhou Wang sat down, Sun Xiningning, who was originally sitting on the other side, immediately changed seats with the girl next to her and sat on the other side of Zhou Wang.
"Teacher Guo."
Zhou Wang followed the etiquette and said hello to Lao Guo.
But Lao Guo's attitude was obviously much colder than before. He just nodded and didn't respond.
Zhou Wang knew full well that for his proposal just now, not only did he not give him any response, but he even answered the phone and ran away. In Lao Guo's view, it was natural that he rejected it.
But Zhou Wang obviously had no obligation to explain to him. Seeing that Lao Guo didn't want to talk to him, he didn't care. After sitting down, he sometimes boasted a few words to Lao Ji, and sometimes talked to Sun Xi Ningning, who exuded a sweet fragrance next to him. It's a joke, but it's also leisurely.
Lao Guo, who couldn't bear it anymore, originally wanted to remind Zhou Wang to "pay attention to the occasion". Sun Xi Ningning almost laughed so hard that she fell on top of you... What's going on...
But just at this time, Li Xiuwen accompanied the official representative into the lecture theater. Many people had already begun to applaud. Facing the camera lights that began to flash, Lao Guo could only sit upright.
There are more than ten positions on the rostrum, and those who are qualified to sit on the stage are the official representative, principal Li Xiuwen, and two highly respected academicians.
But before Li Xiuwen took her seat, she walked to the host's desk on one side and exchanged something in a low voice with Qin Li, the academic director who was standing there.
Qin Li showed an obviously surprised look, and subconsciously glanced at the lecture theater, but he quickly put away his expression and just nodded.
This episode did not attract many people's attention. Soon, as Li Xiuwen took his seat, Qin Li, who was in charge of hosting, also smiled and patted the microphone, and the lecture theater became quiet.
"Welcome all old and new alumni to Jingcheng No. 1 Middle School at this time. I am Qin Li, the host of today's homecoming season opening event. First of all, let us give you warm applause..."
After Qin Li made a simple opening statement, the next step was the boring leadership speech stage.
After the official representative finished speaking, it was the turn of Academician Lei, an outstanding alumnus of the older generation, to deliver a speech. At this time, everyone began to become attentive.
It can even be said that many people come here to admire the academician's style.
Academician Lei's speech was not dogmatic. Instead, it was full of humor and kept up with current events. Many people who listened to the speech showed understanding smiles from time to time.
Zhou Wang couldn't help but sigh. After all, he was an old man who had experienced countless big scenes. His ability to influence others with words was really something Zhou Wang was lacking in.
When Academician Lei finished his speech, the audience burst into warm applause, which took a while to subside.
At this time, Lu Bo, who was sitting in the audience, also began to get excited.
Today's scene was more intense than he expected. Not only did so many viewers come, but there were also TV stations and officials...
According to the procedure, the next step is for him to take the stage and deliver a speech.
But soon, Lu Bo's eyes became stunned, because Qin Li had no intention of continuing to host. Instead, Li Xiuwen stood up from the podium at this time and took Qin Li's place.
"?"
Didn't the principal speak last?
When Qin Li was confused, Li Xiuwen had already stood in front of the host stage, held the microphone and said with a smile:
"Good morning everyone, I am Li Xiuwen, the current principal of Jingcheng No. 1 Middle School."
After the customary applause, Li Xiuwen continued:
"Originally, according to the procedure, I was supposed to be the last one to take the stage to give a concluding speech, but the reason why I am standing here now is because I really can't contain my excitement and want to share a piece of good news with everyone."
Most people in the lecture theater were a little confused, but their curiosity was aroused by Li Xiuwen.
"Many of you here should know that our Jingcheng No. 1 Middle School has an Education Development Foundation. If you are not sure, you can read the brochure on the table, which has a detailed explanation..."
When many people started to read the manual, Li Xiuwen continued to smile:
"This year happens to be the tenth anniversary of the founding of the foundation, and some alumni who knew about this in advance have already transferred the donations to our foundation's account, and we will announce it on the website later..."
"The good news I want to share with you is that just now, we received a cash donation from an alumnus... and the amount of his donation not only created the history of the foundation, but also exceeded the amount of donations in the past years. sum!"
At this point, Li Xiuwen paused, and there was already a commotion in the lecture theater.
The people in the alumni association who knew the inside story of the foundation were stunned for a moment.
For those who don't know, just listening to Li Xiuwen's description, you can feel that it is not a small amount.
After whetting everyone's appetite, Li Xiuwen smiled slightly and said: "This amount is... ten million yuan!"
After a brief silence, there were bursts of exclamation noises in the lecture theater.
And young people like Lao Ji next to Zhou Wang even screamed out in an exaggerated way.
"Fuck!"
"Young Master... the principal just said that you're taking Young Master?!"
