Chapter 928: 227: Just like this, conquered by you!_2
"Can you share your regular study methods with the viewers in front of the television?"
Ni Yang, confronted with the many questions from the journalists, wasn’t at all stage-frightened. She adjusted the microphone and leaned forward slightly, "I just found out about this news myself. As for how I feel, it would be false to say I’m not happy since one of the three great joys in life is to see one’s name on the golden list."
If someone said they were not thrilled and were calm at such a time, it would be far too fake.
After all, even Ni Yang hadn’t expected that she would become the national valedictorian in science.
Though she was happy, she was not impulsive.
She was like an orchid blooming in a quiet valley, serene and delightful.
"Then can you share your regular study methods with us?" the journalist asked again.
Ni Yang replied lightly, "Actually, achieving good results is inseparable from the guidance of my teachers. I am very grateful to all my teachers for their painstaking instruction. Teachers, you have worked hard!"
At the end of her statement, Ni Yang offered a slight bow.
What is this called? This is called remembering the source of the water when drinking it.
You cannot let success make you arrogant and forget the hard work of your teachers.
In her past and present lives, Ni Yang had always been a businessperson. She knew how to build good relationships and that one must be adept in handling various situations.
Hearing this, Teacher Xu and the teachers of other subjects were overjoyed.
Ni Yang was just too sensible!
What does it mean to have a proud student?
This is what it means to have a proud student!
The journalists immediately passed the microphone to the teachers, letting them share their educational insights with everyone.
The Chinese, Mathematics, English teachers, and so on were all surrounded by the journalists in an impenetrable crowd.
Since the reinstatement of the college entrance examination in 1977, No. 3 High School in the city had never seen such excitement.
After interviewing in a circle, another wave of commotion spread through the crowd!
"The mayor is here!"
"It really is the mayor!"
At this time, the mayor coming over was obviously here to commend the national valedictorian!
The journalists quickly gathered around.
The mayor was extremely excited!
Keep in mind that Ni Yang scored first in the national science examination!
She not only brought glory to the school, but she also brought glory to Beijing!
Besides, Ni Yang’s total score was 648 points!
There was a 20-point gap between her and the second place!
Yet between the second and the third place, there was only a 2-point gap, and only a 1-point gap between the third and the fourth place.
The gaps between the fourth, fifth, and subsequent places were at most three points!
But Ni Yang had outpaced them all by a long shot.
It goes without saying how formidable Ni Yang’s ability really was!
"Hello Ni Yang," the mayor extended his hand, "I am Wu Jianhai, the mayor of Beijing, and on behalf of all the citizens, I congratulate you on achieving the national valedictorian in science!"
Ni Yang shook hands with the mayor, "Thank you, Mayor Wu."
Having become the national valedictorian, the reward was certainly not going to be meager; the mayor then presented Ni Yang with a cash reward of 5000 yuan.
Naturally, to be fair and just, as this year’s city salutatorian, Li Wei also received a reward of 500 yuan.
The country values education highly!
These individuals are the future pillars of the nation!
Clutching the 500 yuan in his hand, Li Wei couldn’t quite pinpoint his feelings. In the ’80s, 500 yuan was a lot!
A regular family could not earn 500 yuan in a year. If it had been an hour earlier, Li Wei would certainly have been overjoyed.
But now, he couldn’t feel happy at all.
Compared to Ni Yang’s 5000 yuan, what was his 500 yuan?
He felt like a complete joke!
Li Wei jerked off the big red flower from his chest, just about to throw it into the trash, but as he reached out halfway, it was as though he reconsidered something and withdrew his hand, putting the flower back on.
Today was his high school graduation day, and if this act was spotted by others, it might invite criticism.
He couldn’t be like this.
Although he did not score as well as Ni Yang, he was still the salutatorian, and he could not lose his dignity.
After composing himself, Li Wei approached Ni Yang, "Ni Yang, congratulations to you!"
"Thank you," Ni Yang smiled faintly.
As Li Wei was about to say more, he was abruptly pulled away by Qian Jinfeng.
"So the national valedictorian is a big deal, huh! The wheel turns, what’s on top today may be on the bottom tomorrow; it’s still unknown what the future holds! Xiaowei, let’s not bother with her!"
Li Wei, feeling very uncomfortable at the moment, had no desire to argue with Qian Jinfeng, offered Ni Yang an apologetic smile, and left with Qian Jinfeng.
After the journalists conducted their interviews, Class Five began to arrange for the graduation photo.
