Chapter 1659 Cheering for the Students
“Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom.”
Fang Qiu thanked his parents with a smile and said, “Thank you for what you’ve done for me over all these years.”
As he spoke, he raised his head and drank a gla.s.s of wine.
“You’re welcome. I’m glad that you’re so grateful.”
Fang Qiu’s mother smiled with satisfaction.
“Your mother is right. One has to be grateful.”
Fang Qiu’s father said, “You wouldn’t have become what you are today without your upbringing. You should be grateful to the ones who helped you and guided you in your primary school, junior high school, senior high school, or university.”
“Got it.”
Fang Qiu nodded affirmatively and said, “I came back to express my grat.i.tude.”
“Well. That’s great.”
Fang Qiu’s father nodded with satisfaction and said, “We heard from your high school cla.s.s teacher that you agreed to come back and cheer up the students who are about to take the college entrance examination. This is nice. You will not only help out the school but also guide the students. You also get to visit us by the way.”
“Dad, don’t worry.”
Fang Qiu nodded and said, “I will never forget loyalty, filial piety, self-control, and justice. I will definitely keep them in mind.”
At this point, Fang Qiu suddenly thought of a familiar figure, the old master.
As a matter of fact, except for his parents, the old master had educated Fang Qiu the most since he was a child.
Just as Fang Qiu’s father said, without the help of the old master, it was absolutely impossible for Fang Qiu to achieve everything he had now.
Frankly speaking, the old master made him have his current achievements.
Therefore, since he knew that the old master was injured, Fang Qiu had been worried about him. He had been looking for a way to cure the old master. He even studied Chinese Medicine for the sake of the old master.
In terms of repaying kindness, Fang Qiu was definitely not inferior to anyone, and he would never do anything ungrateful.
“Well said, Son.”
Hearing what Fang Qiu said, Fang Qiu’s father nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, Fang Qiu’s mother suddenly asked, “Qiu, you’re now 20, aren’t you?”
“Yeah.”
Fang Qiu nodded.
“A man should get married and settle down at the age of 20. Shouldn’t you date someone? Maybe get a girlfriend?” Fang Qiu’s mother asked with a smile.
“What do you mean by getting married and settling down at the age of 20? It’s said that men should settle down in their thirties. That’s the best time. I’m only 20 and have just developed and matured. Why should I get married now?”
Fang Qiu gave a bitter smile.
“What’s wrong with doing that at the age of 20?”
Fang Qiu’s mother rolled her eyes at Fang Qiu and said, “You’re successful in your career and famous now. Why can’t you get married? You’ve exceeded most of our expectations of you. Now all you need to do is get married. Only when you do this can your dad and I live out our lives in retirement at ease.”
“Mom, you’re only in your forties, aren’t you?”
Fang Qiu gave a wry smile and said, “If you want to go to work or travel, just do it. You can do whatever you want. I’ll pay the bill for you, but you’re only in your forties. Can you stop pretending to be so aged? That makes me feel uncomfortable.”
“That’s right. Don’t pretend to be aged. It’s up to him when he gets married. Qiu is so excellent. Are you afraid that he can’t get married?”
Fang Qiu’s father spoke up for Fang Qiu.
“You take his side when he’s around. When he leaves, you’ll know that you’re wrong.”
Fang Qiu’s mother glared at Fang Qiu’s father, which made the latter not dare to speak.
Fang Qiu couldn’t help laughing when he saw his parents quarreling.
…
The next day.
After breakfast, Fang Qiu got up and rushed to high school in a low profile.
It was the beginning of June.
The college entrance examination was in a few days.
Now the students were almost finished with their notes reviewing. What they needed was a cheer.
At the school gate, Fang Qiu took out his mobile phone and called the cla.s.s teacher.
After receiving the call, the cla.s.s teacher knew that Fang Qiu had arrived at the school gate. He immediately rushed out to welcome Fang Qiu with a group of people.
Even the princ.i.p.al, the vice president, the director, and other leaders of the school came over.
Seeing this, Fang Qiu couldn’t help but smile wryly. He had deliberately kept a low profile when he came over, but it turned out to be such a grand welcome.
Of course, Fang Qiu didn’t say anything about it.
He knew that even if he said it, it would be useless. The school would still give him a grand welcome.
“Let’s go to my office first.”
The princ.i.p.al stepped forward and said, “The students are having morning cla.s.ses now. We are still arranging the specific time. Let’s go to the office to have a rest first. You’ll show up when the time is right so as not to cause a sensation.”
“Okay.”
Fang Qiu nodded and agreed. Then, led by the princ.i.p.al and the school leaders, he went all the way to the princ.i.p.al’s office.
However, as soon as he entered the princ.i.p.al’s office, Fang Qiu saw a very familiar figure.
It was Jiang Mengjie.
Seeing Jiang Mengjie, Fang Qiu was quite surprised, but he knew her presence was reasonable, so he said with a smile, “You’re so early.”
“You didn’t expect me here, did you?”
Jiang Mengjie asked with a smile and then said, “I wanted to ask you to come back with me, but you were too busy, so I didn’t take the initiative to contact you. I didn’t expect you to really come here on time.”
“I have to come over.”
Fang Qiu said, “This is our alma mater. I should come over no matter what. I knew you would definitely come here, but I didn’t expect it to be at this time.”
Hearing their conversation, the princ.i.p.al said with a smile, “It just so happens that you can have a reunion. Although you two work together, it’s not easy for you to meet each other. You’re both quite busy.”
Fang Qiu nodded with a smile.
“He’s busy.”
Jiang Mengjie looked at Fang Qiu and said, “I have plenty of time, but unfortunately, I often can’t see him.”
Fang Qiu felt deeply ashamed.
Indeed, he was quite busy as Fang Qiu and John Doe.
Not to mention Jiang Mengjie, he even had very few opportunities to meet Jiang Miaoyu. He even rarely met He Xue, whom he had to meet at work.
“That’s understandable.”
The princ.i.p.al immediately said with a smile, “Fang Qiu has a big career and a lot of things to do now. It’s natural for him to be quite busy.”
“Right! That’s right!”
Fang Qiu hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Later, everyone chatted for a while.
After the other leaders arranged everything, they walked out of the princ.i.p.al’s office at 10 o’clock in the morning and went all the way to the sports ground.
At this moment, all the students of the school were standing on the sports ground.
A rostrum was set on the flag-raising platform.
Surrounded by a group of school leaders, Fang Qiu and Jiang Miaoyu came to the flag-raising platform.
Seeing the arrival of Jiang Miaoyu and Fang Qiu, immediately, everyone on the sports ground was in an uproar.
“I’ll go first,” Jiang Mengjie said with a smile when she saw her junior brothers and sisters in an uproar.
“Okay.”
The princ.i.p.al nodded. He then took the lead to walk to the rostrum and said to all the students present, “Quiet down, please.”
After all the students quieted down, the princ.i.p.al said with a smile, “Today, we have invited two students who graduated from our school. They used to be students in our school, who are your senior brother and sister. But now they are the future of the country and the mainstay of society.
“The college entrance examination is around the corner.
“They used to be the top scorers in the college entrance examination in our county. We invited them over. They will tell you about the college entrance examination and cheer for you!”
As soon as he finished speaking-
Clap! Clap! Clap!
All the people present immediately applauded wildly.
“Well, let’s cut to the chase. Let’s welcome your senior sister, Jiang Mengjie, on the stage to give a speech.”
As he spoke, the princ.i.p.al turned sideways and pointed at Jiang Mengjie.
Jiang Mengjie walked up to the rostrum with a smile on her face.
“Wow…”
All the students on the sports ground were shocked when they saw Jiang Mengjie on the stage.
“Jiang Mengjie. Jiang Mengjie Jiang Mengjie…”
All the students present shouted the name of Jiang Mengjie excitedly.
The boys, in particular, shouted at the top of their lungs.
Hearing the students’ shouts, all the leaders of the school were shocked.
They didn’t expect that Jiang Mengjie would be so influential.
Originally, they thought only Fang Qiu would have such an appeal.
Now it seemed that the influence of Jiang Mengjie was not inferior to that of Fang Qiu at all.
With the cheers of all the students, Jiang Mengjie walked to the rostrum and said into the microphone, “h.e.l.lo, everyone. I’m your senior sister, Jiang Mengjie!”
As soon as she finished speaking, an orderly shout suddenly sounded.
“h.e.l.lo, senior sister!”
At this moment, the students on the sports ground surprisingly shouted in unison, which shocked Jiang Mengjie.
“In the blink of an eye, it’s the annual college entrance examination again.”
When the cheers gradually dissipated, Jiang Mengjie looked at everyone with a smile and said, “I’ve been through it before, so I’m very clear that this is indeed an important day for every candidate to prove their strength. It’s definitely unrealistic to say that you’re not nervous.
“However, I think that although this moment is very critical, this is something that we must overcome in our lives, isn’t it?
“We can’t just stop because we’re nervous, can we?
“As an experienced person in the college entrance examination, I actually want to tell you that the closer you are to the college entrance examination, the more nervous and conflicted you will be. Sometimes, you even hope that time will pa.s.s faster. The earlier you finish the exam, the more relaxed you will be. But sometimes, you hope that time can pa.s.s slower so that you will have enough time to prepare yourself for the final trial.
“In fact, at this last stage, no matter if you have excellent grades or there is a certain gap between you and others, you must control your mood and maintain your confidence!
“Although confidence may not help you succeed, losing confidence will definitely lead to failure!”
At this point, Jiang Mengjie smiled and said, “Life is not like following the trend. Everyone has to be responsible for their own future. Here, I hope you don’t care about the gains and losses of the exam. Don’t overestimate the difficulties of the college entrance examination, and don’t consider its impact. As long as you keep a calm mind and relax properly, do your best to give full play to your level, that will be a victory!
“I’m Jiang Mengjie. I’m here to cheer for you.
“I wish everyone all the best on the exam!”
When she finished the speech, Jiang Mengjie raised her right hand, clenched her fist, and made a cheering gesture to everyone.
