Chapter 939: The Troublesome Graduate (Two in One, Please Subscribe!!!)

The principal smiled brightly and said that Shilan Middle School has indeed improved and its reputation has spread abroad, attracting so many capable foreign investment experts.

Lu Mingfei felt something was wrong, because a middle school, no matter how famous it was, was just a school. How could it attract so many investors, all of whom were foreigners?
Shilan Middle School is not Kassel College. A number of big families such as the Gattuso family and the Beowulf family invested in Kassel College because they themselves are dragon-slaying families. Kassel College is the face of the Secret Party and also their common asset. It can act as their spokesperson to handle situations where they are not convenient to show up. It is also the sharpest spear in their hands to stab the dragon clan.

But what return can one get from investing in Shilan Middle School? Lu Mingfei couldn't figure it out. Excellent students? Good learning atmosphere? Or advanced educational concepts?
The principal of Shilan Middle School said that he introduced the education model from New Zealand and other foreign countries, which means that foreign countries have better education methods, right? So why would these foreigners go to such a far place to invest in a middle school with almost no return?
Lu Mingfei also noticed that the principal used the word "investment expert"... For some reason, Lu Mingfei suddenly thought of one of the world's top investment experts, who was also his friend. Mr. Lu Mingfei could sit here thanks to that friend.

Lu Mingfei thought of a possibility, otherwise this situation would be too coincidental.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei's eyes slowly swept over those foreign investors... Everyone, when Lu Mingfei's eyes fell on them, everyone present here, more or less had eye contact with Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei became more certain of his guess. So that was the case... Although Lu Mingfei hadn't figured out Su Enxi's intention, it seemed that the other party was not just wasting his money.

The principal said a lot, but to sum it up, Shilan Middle School is very, very grateful for everyone's efforts. The school is also honored to have trained such a group of outstanding graduates. I believe that everyone will achieve something in the future, and their achievements will definitely be no less than those of their parents. Shilan Middle School's tomorrow will surely be better than today, its popularity will surely grow, its student base will surely become wider and wider, and its development prospects will be limitless. If you still consider contributing to the school, the school will definitely give you the utmost sincerity in return.

It cannot be said to be moral kidnapping. The principal's words and deeds at this moment are more like a businessman. Praising the other party, describing the blueprint, and promising returns. This is the standard routine of a businessman, but the principal's purpose is not to make money... The benefit in his eyes is the future development of the school. The reward he can give to Su Enxi and Zhao Menghua is not money and wealth, but the glory that Shilan Middle School can give them to the best of its ability.

After the principal finished his speech, the loud speaker outside the door sounded, and the public address system in the broadcasting room carried the sound to every corner of Shilan Middle School.

"Hello, classmates and parents! Today is the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Shilan Middle School. It is also the first year of the reform of Shilan Middle School. It is the most memorable day! There are graduates and students here. No matter where you are in the future, Shilan Middle School will always be your home and the harbor you most miss! Today, on this grand and festive day, we are very happy and honored to invite the two most outstanding graduates of the class of 2010, Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei. Please gather in the playground to listen to their life after graduation and their deep feelings for their alma mater!"

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang looked at each other, both of them were dumbfounded.

Why is there this part? It was not mentioned beforehand... No, what beforehand? They were not originally here to attend the school celebration! They just arranged to meet at the school gate, and happened to run into this kind of thing. They were confused and were pulled in by the principal to thank him. They thought they could leave after dealing with it, but why did they have to make a speech! None of them were prepared. There are so many students and parents today. Their names are posted in the most conspicuous place in the school. Everyone knows them. With so many eyes staring at them, how embarrassing is this scene?

"Don't be nervous." The Dean of Studies came to Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, handed them a few pieces of paper, and patted them on the shoulders. "The manuscript is ready, just read it. Be a little more emotional. There will be reporters coming to the school to take pictures on the anniversary day. The speeches of you two most outstanding and talked-about graduates will most likely be recorded in full and will definitely be posted on the news network. Maybe it will even appear in tomorrow's newspaper!"

The school was well prepared. Even though they were not sure Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei would come before this, the speeches had already been prepared. Today was a very important day for Shilan Middle School, and the speech by the alumni representatives was one of the most important links. It would definitely be on the news. It was a necessary battle to establish the reputation of Shilan Middle School in the city and even the province, and no mistakes were allowed.

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, surrounded by the principal and a group of school leaders, came to the school's newly built podium, with flags flying above their heads and magnificent buildings behind them.

There are already a lot of people watching on the playground, and it's just a sea of ​​heads. In such an occasion, after becoming successful, it is really cool to return to the campus in a neatly dressed manner to give a speech. The principals and leaders who were once high and mighty have become your supporting actors and beautiful foils. This is probably what boys desire to show off.

Looking at the envy and jealousy of the fellow students in the audience, their eyes are full of “one day I want to be as successful as this man”, and the fellow students are looking at you with admiring and infatuated eyes, saying in their hearts “after graduation I must marry a perfect man like this”, and your adrenaline soars... I have to say, having such an experience in life can really make people savor it for a lifetime.

But Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei did not seem very excited at the moment. They even wore ordinary sportswear when going out. Even though the principal repeatedly expressed that he could provide brand-name formal wear, they were too lazy to change.

Chu Zihang was the first to walk to the front of the podium. The microphone had been set up, and there was even a teleprompter in a hidden corner in front of the podium, which was enough to show how well prepared the school was.

All the students and parents on the playground raised their heads and looked at the boy who was standing in the front of everyone. Some were whispering, some were talking loudly, and the voices even floated up to the podium.

It turns out that this is Chu Zihang. This is the feeling of most people. Some people say that this boy is a legend in Shilan Middle School. He has excellent grades, full marks in sports, and is particularly handsome. He is humble and low-key. He was admitted to a prestigious American university. He is humble and low-key, and his family conditions are also first-class. It is hard to imagine that there is such a perfect person in the world. The boys envy him, the girls admire him, and the parents think that their children will be so outstanding one day. Not only will they save themselves the trouble, but they will also be able to steal the show. In the future, when they meet other people's parents in the vegetable market, they can straighten their backs and have a bright face.

"As a graduate representative of Shilan Middle School, I am very happy and honored that the school leaders have given me this opportunity to speak in front of you all. Today is sunny and exciting. We gather together at our alma mater, express gratitude to our alma mater, and wish Shilan Middle School a happy 50th birthday!"

Lu Mingfei subconsciously looked up at the sky. It was so cloudy that water was about to drip out, and it was still sunny... Things prepared in advance should not include such variable factors as weather. When writing the speech and handing it to the senior brother, he didn't even make some changes. It was obvious that he was reading from the script. Sure enough, the principal's voice reprimanded the dean of studies. The dean of studies nodded and admitted his mistake. He didn't expect Chu Zihang to read it word for word, but there was no such uncontrollable factor in Lu Mingfei's speech.

There was still warm applause in the playground. No one came here to listen to the script. Everyone came to admire the outstanding graduates... Just because he was Chu Zihang, the legend of Shilan Middle School, with that great face, even if he didn't say anything and just stood there, people would applaud him.

"Over the past fifty years, we have gone through ups and downs, worked diligently for fifty years, and stood together for fifty years. Today we gather together and today we reap the rewards..."

Chu Zihang read the script word by word. His tone was quite steady, so steady that there was almost no fluctuation. In the past, when he was in class, the Chinese teacher always sighed and said that Chu Zihang was born to study science. His Chinese grades were good, but he had no emotion at all when reading the texts, like an artificial intelligence.

But this is also Chu Zihang's characteristic and his extremely strong personal style. When he stands there, he gives people a calm aura. Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang's back and thought that his senior brother is worthy of being a legend of Shilan Middle School. He really perfectly meets all the fantasies of his junior brothers and sisters about a legendary senior.

Back then, when Lu Mingfei looked up at Chu Zihang on the stage from the audience, he was filled with emotion, thinking that one day he could become such an awesome person. But now, looking at Chu Zihang's back, he doesn't have so many emotions anymore. It took Lu Mingfei five years to get from the audience to the stage, but when he really got to this point today, he realized that the so-called honor and fame are the least important, and in the end they are just to satisfy his vanity.

In fact, many things in this world are always there for you when you can't get them, but become tasteless when they are within your reach... Lu Mingfei has gained a lot of important things along the way, and vanity is probably the least worth mentioning among them.

After Chu Zihang finished reading his speech, the audience applauded vigorously. A few little girls clapped so hard that their originally white and delicate palms turned red from clapping too hard... This kind of thing happened frequently in high school. There were many girls who fell in love with Chu Zihang at first sight, but few of them "met Chu and ruined their lives".

Because everyone understands one thing, Senior Brother Chu is everyone's Senior Brother Chu. He is more like a national husband and a dream lover. He is out of reach. The girls at Shilan Middle School have all fantasized about falling in love with Chu Zihang, but no one has ever felt that they can really get him or even possess him.

Chu Zihang quietly retreated behind the scenes. Then it was Lu Mingfei's turn. Lu Mingfei walked to the front of the podium. Chu Zihang was about the same height as him, so the microphone didn't even need to be adjusted. Lu Mingfei subconsciously cleared his throat.

However, he was almost startled by the thunderous applause from the audience, and he could hear someone calling his name.

But he didn't say anything yet, he just showed his face.

Lu Mingfei's eyes fell on the most enthusiastic people in the crowd... Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao clapped their hands vigorously and shouted "Lu Mingfei is my classmate". Chen Wenwen also clapped as hard as she could. When she was standing in the audience, she dared to keep looking up at Lu Mingfei, but when Lu Mingfei's eyes swept over her, she subconsciously lowered her head. Lu Mingfei also saw Liu Miaomiao, his former classmates, and even the security guard at the door came to join in the fun.

Lu Mingfei knew that he was now very famous in Shilan Middle School, but he didn’t expect that he was so popular, because he knew that his appearance could not compare with Chu Zihang, but he could clearly see that several of his junior brothers and sisters looked at him with light in their eyes... Yes, he had also become a legendary figure in his alma mater. He was a legend in Kassel College, let alone Shilan Middle School?
Looking at these slightly immature boys and girls, Lu Mingfei thought of his student life for no reason, the loser in his dream, and the him in the real world who had worked hard for the past five years. Lu Mingfei turned around and glanced at Eiry... Ignoring the hopeful and expectant eyes of the principal and a group of leaders, Lu Mingfei suddenly wanted to talk about something different.

“I miss this moment very much… Seeing you is like seeing many of my past selves.” Lu Mingfei said to the thousands of students and parents in the audience.

"What's going on? Is this paragraph in the speech?" the principal asked the dean in a daze.

"No... I don't remember." The Dean of Studies explained with a stammer, "Lu Mingfei probably wrote it out of inspiration, but this opening is also quite good, with Nietzsche's style."

"Shilan Middle School is a very good school. I'm not talking about its faculty, its education level, or the study atmosphere with a small test every five days and a big test every week... Of course, Shilan Middle School is excellent in these aspects." Lu Mingfei's voice gradually rose a little, "What I want to say is that here, each of you can meet your own youth."

As he spoke, Lu Mingfei suddenly threw away the speech, and in everyone's sight, the white paper was blown into the sky.

The principal and the dean were both dumbfounded. They were all confused for a moment, and no one knew what Lu Mingfei was doing... Isn't this a speech for outstanding graduates? But he now looks like a rebellious student!

Unexpectedly, there was extremely enthusiastic applause from the playground.
