Chapter 473: Chapter 320 Speak a few words_2
Guo Kunnan, he had his own path!
Cui Yu sighed, "I was slow to react just now, otherwise I would have gone up."
Wang Longlong said, "Brother Cui, although... but."
He didn’t finish his sentence.
Chen Siqing and her sister ran over hand in hand, sticking together in the hot weather without minding the heat.
Both of them exclaimed, "Jiang Ning, you are so fast!"
Jiang Ning frowned, "It’s just a quick neural response."
Chen Siqing blinked, "But that’s still fast!"
Chen Siyu pinched her fingers, "My sister and I hadn’t even started moving, and you were already finished!"
The girls chatted around Jiang Ning for a while. Yang Sheng and Bai Yuxia rushed over, and the twins excitedly went to them next. Yang Sheng’s sprint results were still unknown!
...
Jiang Yanan and Yu Wen were in a small circle.
Jiang Yanan watched Yang Sheng’s back with a complicated expression.
There was frustration and relief.
Yu Wen said, "Yanan, you are so slow!"
Jiang Yanan retorted, "I ran it in 14 seconds plus, which isn’t slow. Many boys can’t beat me!"
"Why then did Yang Sheng pull so far ahead of you?"
Jiang Yanan felt like cursing. She was struck during the 100-meter sprint.
She had run with all her might and reached 14 seconds plus, thinking she was almost flying, but she couldn’t catch up with Yang Sheng at all.
Yang Sheng did it in 12.9 seconds, the best in the group.
"It’s not that I ran slow, but that she ran fast!" Jiang Yanan protested.
A girl running 12.9 seconds is really extremely impressive. A national women’s second-level athlete’s time is 13 seconds.
Yu Wen said, "Well, you moved on to the next round anyway. We’ll see her in the next race."
The few girls had a grudge against Yang Sheng, wishing they could suppress her and strike hard.
Jiang Yanan was somewhat disheartened, "We’ll see."
Originally, she wanted to bet with Yang Sheng on cleaning duties after the race, but upon reflecting, she found herself ridiculous.
...
The sports day was in full swing. Despite the hot weather, the students were still happy, enjoying their rare free time.
Students were scattered all over the playground, watching the races, chatting, joking, playing with phones, or resting, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
The ongoing women’s 100 meters attracted a large number of male students.
Wang Longlong ran to Class 8’s station for a drink, as it was too hot and he always felt itchy to comment.
"Brother Jun, hard work!" Wang Longlong consoled.
As the life committee member in charge of guarding Class 8’s station, Hu Jun had a great responsibility and therefore lost his freedom to wander around.
Hu Jun said, "It’s only right to make sacrifices for the class."
Wang Longlong argued, "No, this kind of task shouldn’t be done by one person alone, it’s unfair!"
Wang Longlong stood under the sun shelter, lifting a disposable plastic cup.
The sunlight wasn’t as intense as at noon, it was now after 4, with the sun moving west.
Hu Jun said, "It’s okay, just now Tianpeng and Shi Qianjin came over and chatted, which was quite interesting."
They began talking about various topics at the station.
At the entrance to the playground, a few men and women in suits appeared.
The surrounding students noticed and began to scrutinize them. The sharp-eyed ones saw that Director Yan of the first grade was accompanying them.
Lin Zhongsheng Group’s executive for Yuzhou, Ms. Lin Han, looked at the lively atmosphere on the playground with a delicately made-up face that flickered with nostalgia.
When she had left high school, she was only eighteen. Now returning, she was already twenty-eight.
Ten years... still the most wonderful ten years in a woman’s life.
Even though Ms. Lin now held a high position managing billions of funds, the sight of the familiar campus layout and the vibrant students still evoked an inexplicable sense of nostalgia in her heart.
Ms. Lin looked towards the plastic track and said, "When I went to school here, this was a tar road, and the entire middle of the playground was dirt. Every September when school started, the teachers asked us to bring shovels to remove the grass."
After hearing this, Director Yan chimed in, "Right after you left, someone bid on the school playground project."
His usually stern face was filled with amiability, appearing quite kindly.
Ms. Lin continued forward, climbing the steps to the podium.
The podium, originally responsible for broadcasting announcements for the second-year students, fell silent upon seeing the newcomer.
Ms. Lin stood on the podium, watched the race for two minutes, stepped down from the podium, and faced two rows of ping pong tables.
Ms. Lin said, "The tables used to be made of concrete."
Director Yan responded, "They were replaced with a new set after the playground was reconstructed."
Walking and chatting, an extraordinary combination, they drew a lot of attention wherever they went.
Lin Han encountered many familiar and unfamiliar things.
Director Yan introduced her along the way, "Previously, our school’s track meets used manual timing, which was inaccurate, but now we use electronic timing, just like in official competitions."
"The special training tests for student athletes are conducted with this equipment."
Director Yan then pointed to someone carrying a camera in the distance, "That’s equipment our school specifically purchased. Whether it’s for taking photos or recording videos, the quality is top-notch. It’s used to capture the sports events and other important occasions."
Lin Han said, "It should definitely be like this. The equipment was too poor during our important activities in the past."
Director Yan said, "We owe these changes to all of you!"
"In a bit, our school is holding a short interview. Just say a few words."
Lin Han’s face was expressionless. This visit to her alma mater wasn’t just a simple return; she had also casually donated five million.
"This is my alma mater, and I too hope it gets better and better. Some areas that are lacking should be timely updated," Lin Han said.
The amount she donated wasn’t much. Her old classmate, Shao Shuangshuang, with a wave of her hand, donated fifteen million as if money meant nothing.
Thinking about it, the Changqing Liquid Group probably didn’t lack money, did they?
Director Yan nodded his head, "Indeed, the school won’t disappoint you. We will definitely make the necessary improvements."
At the lunch gathering, Lin Han and Shao Shuangshuang both brought up issues with the cafeteria, expressing significant opinions. They came just short of saying directly that the cafeteria food was terrible.
Yu Zhou Fourth Middle School students had long suffered from the poor quality of the cafeteria’s offerings!
Seeing this, Director Yan acknowledged that changes needed to be made.
This donation involved tens of millions, and the donation ceremony in a few days, relying solely on educational administrators, wouldn’t be enough to support the event. Leaders from Yuzhou City’s officialdom would personally attend that day.
Shao Shuangshuang’s Changqing Liquid Company was growing at a terrifying pace, and rumors from within suggested that a new product was being developed.
Should they make further achievements in other domains, they would surely become one of the world’s top companies.
...
Wang Longlong chatted a bit, shelled a few sunflower seeds, and rested for ten minutes, planning to meet up with Brother Ma to continue watching the exciting games.
Just then, Lin Han and a few others happened to walk over.
The nearby camera-carrying photographer hurried over.
The photographer, a school teacher, had been forewarned by school leaders and knew Lin Han’s status.
Lin Han had also given a heads-up on her side, and he was about to conduct an interview with her.
Seeing the opportunity, he signaled to his assistant, a very young assistant teacher in her early twenties.
Holding the microphone, the assistant teacher looked around and spotted a student.
The photography teacher planned to film a segment showing the stark contrast between the spirits of Yu Zhou Fourth Middle School students and renowned alumni, thus highlighting the unique character of the school.
Director Yan to Lin Han: "Just say a few words in a bit."
Lin Han nodded slightly. Saying a few words wasn’t a big deal.
It was just a small speech.
"Hello, student." Just as Wang Longlong got up, he was called over.
He looked toward the standing camera and the young female teacher.
Wang Longlong looked puzzled, "Ah?"
The assistant teacher said, "We are part of the athletic meet’s photography team, and we’d like to hear your thoughts on the Fourth Middle School Sports Meet."
"Wow?"
I, Old Dragon, am actually being interviewed? This is too rare; I must take it seriously!
As soon as he heard this, Wang Longlong quickly straightened his clothes and said with a confident smile,
"The Fourth Middle School Sports Meet not only trains and displays the physical fitness of students but also hones their willpower to overcome difficulties, fostering and strengthening...
Grounded in the present, planning for the future... Hard work rewards, what they call... is... just..."
Wang Longlong spoke passionately and unceasingly.
Slowly, the surroundings quieted down, passing students stopped and listened to Wang Longlong’s speech.
At the base of Class 8, Hu Jun quietly watched him show off, sending admiring glances his way.
The female intern teacher couldn’t get a word in edgewise.
A few minutes later.
Wang Longlong raised his right hand and loudly said, "Finally, I thank Yuzhou Fourth Middle School, which taught me not just knowledge but also the confidence to face the future. May Fourth Middle School’s future be even more brilliant!" 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Wang Longlong’s speech ended.
The intern teacher snapped back to attention and quickly said, "Thank you, student."
Wang Longlong’s words left her a bit dazed.
Following that, she lifted the microphone and found Lin Han a few meters away.
"Hello, Ms. Lin, I would like to hear your thoughts on the Fourth Middle School Sports Meet."
Lin Han was silent for two seconds, not saying anything.
She looked towards Director Yan next to her, her eyes seemingly saying, is this what you meant by just a few words?
