Chapter 269: 269, Senior Jingwu Comes Around (3)_1
“Hear that, Ayue? You’ll have to work hard to earn money. The red envelope for my nephew must be huge.” Quan Mingxuan joked and laughed.
Han Yue thumped his chest confidently, “No problem, I’ll cover all the costs for the baby’s formula milk.”
As they bantered, they attracted the attention of those present in the auditorium who curiously observed Jian Qing and Quan Jingwu.
Before long, the figure of Quan Che appeared on the podium.
“Is your dad going to give a speech today?” Han Yue asked.
“Probably,” answered Quan Mingxuan indifferently. His father’s speeches, known for their brevity and effectiveness, never exceeded five minutes, thus nobody had to worry about nodding off.
Indeed, Quan Che’s talk was neatly wrapped up in less than five minutes. His elegant appearance and humorous style elicited cheers from the students present.
A school festivity like this also included a speech by a successful alumnus or alumna, providing encouragement for the students of the Imperial Academy to strive for excellence.
When it came to successful alumni, the students of the Imperial Academy turned their attention towards the last row of the auditorium without thinking.
Every Imperial Academy student knew about its few extraordinary figures, Quan Jingwu, Chu Yihen, Quan Mingxuan, Quan Yimo, and Han Yue. These five had made quite a name for themselves during their time at the Academy.
Especially Quan Jingwu, who was once described as such: “The man may steer clear of the world, but the world abounds with his legends.”
The order of the speeches wasn’t fixed, and the first speaker chosen by Quan Che was Han Yue.
Still as casual as ever, Han Yue idled onto the stage with a charming grin. “Beautiful junior sisters and less handsome junior brothers, I’m Han Yue.” His enchanting smile provoked ecstatic squeals from the girls in the crowd, leaving Quan Che with a helpless smile.
That stinker.
Han Yue’s speech was also short and marked by his characteristic humor and wit, which was both interesting and engaging.
After Han Yue, it was Chu Yihen’s turn. His gentle appearance and grace perfectly embodied the image of a Prince Charming in the minds of many girls, causing many to swoon as he spoke.
His speech lasted about as long as Han Yue’s, and his elegant voice left the girls in the audience wanting to hear more.
But after him, it was Quan Mingxuan’s turn. His different style and handsome face rekindled the hopes in the hearts of the female audience.
Everyone knew Quan Mingxuan was the son of the Academy Principal. This wasn’t a secret given that every time they visited the principal’s office, at least half the time had him shouting at his son.
“Although everyone probably knows who I am already, I’ll spare you the introduction.” Quan Mingxuan adjusted the mic, delivered a detailed account of his entrepreneurial journey in a short span of a few minutes, similar to Han Yue.
Towards the end, he grinned mysteriously, “I believe everyone knows that our legendary Senior Jingwu is here today. If you want to hear a speech from Senior Jingwu, you’ll have to cheer harder. Let’s pump up the volume!”
The moment his words fell, Han Yue chimed in immediately.
“A speech from Senior Jingwu!”
Jian Qing glanced at Han Yue. He was up to something!
With these two guys leading the charge, the excitement in the room was starting to heat.
“A speech from Senior Jingwu!”
“A speech from Senior Jingwu!”
“A speech from Senior Jingwu!”
The unified chants rang out as all eyes focused on the black figure sitting in the last row.
Jian Qing scratched his palm nervously and looked up at him, “Xiaojing!”
“Hmm?” Quan Jingwu’s brows creased slightly.
“Do you want to go up?” So many people were waiting, it was also Quan Che’s event today.
“Do you want me to go up?” Quan Jingwu’s lips curved up in a light smirk.
Jian Qing gave a curt nod, her lips curving up in a smile.
Han Yue was excited at the sight of this, anticipating some action.
There was nothing impossible if Jian Qing made the request.
Sure enough, within the next second, Quan Jingwu stood up, evoking a deafening cheer from the crowd.
As he leisurely made his way onto the stage, his every move exuding a powerful aura, everybody held their breaths unconsciously.
This man, once a legend of the Imperial Academy, founded JK International, a coveted place for many.
“Jian Qing, do you know why Chu Yihen holds such hostility towards Jingwu and always competes with him?” Back by Jian Qing, Han Yue asked with interest.
Jian Qing glanced at Chu Yihen to see a grim expression on his face, “Why?” 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
“We’ve all been in the same school since kindergarten to high school, hilariously even in the same class. Hutch was always overshadowed wherever Jingwu was present. Let alone, many love to compare him with Jingwu. It’s obvious that the proud Chu wouldn’t be okay with being inferior to anyone.” Han Yue explained.
Jian Qing pursed her lips and shifted her gaze to the man standing on the platform.
Under the lights, the man stood there supreme and aloof, like a king looking down at his subjects. His lips parted slightly and a icy voice slowly uttered,
“JK International only welcomes those with real ability!”
Despite his arrogance, his words stirred something in the hearts of the audience.
Jian Qing lowered her gaze, a slight smile playing at her lips.
Down below, the crowd had their eyes wide open, their gaze firmly fixed on the man above.
His words echoed in the hearts of the Imperial Academy students.
JK International only welcomes those with real ability – wasn’t that supposed to motivate them?
Before they could recover, the black figure on the stage had already vanished.
Watching the man leave the stage, Song Xirou’s expression was filled with infatuation. This was the man she loved, the man who she spent her entire youth longing for.
But he happened to love someone else.
How could she possibly accept that…
“Let’s go.” Quan Jingwu went over to Jian Qing and held out his hand for her.
Jian Qing laughed lightly and let him lead her away.
