As soon as he heard that Teacher Han was looking for him, Chen Yuan immediately said goodbye to the two hair children and walked towards the phalanx where the sixth class of the third year of high school was located.

When I came closer, I didn't see Teacher Han, but I met Gou Chen who was standing at the end of the line.

Chen Yuan stepped forward and greeted Gou Chen, "Morning." ”

"Early. Gou Chen still looked dragging, but his attitude towards Chen Yuan had obviously eased a lot.

After more than a month of introspection and experience, his mentality has already undergone tremendous changes.

For Chen Yuan, the former enemy, he no longer has a hostile attitude.

Chen Yuan stared at Gou Chen for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I want to thank you." ”

"Thank me?" Gou Chen frowned slightly.

"Have you forgotten?" Chen Yuan said: "Before the martial arts college entrance examination, if you hadn't made a special trip to tell me Yun Qingyan's actual combat strength, I might not have made so many preparations in advance, and I might have lost to him in actual combat, this favor, I will always remember it." ”

"You don't have to thank me. Gou Chen said lightly, "It is your ability to defeat Yun Qingyan, it is your ability to surpass so many geniuses and win the 'champion of civil and military affairs in the city', which is also the honor you deserve, I didn't know your true strength at that time, so I advised you to surrender early, and I didn't mean to help you on purpose." ”

Chen Yuan saw that he wanted to save face, and he no longer argued anything.

Changed the topic and asked, "Which university are you going to go to, have you thought about it?"

This time, Gou Chen did not hesitate at all, and blurted out: "Luda." ”

"Ludao University?" Chen Yuan said in surprise, "Yes, a first-class university in the country." ”

"I like cities near the sea, and I can join the 'Sea Warrior Patrol' directly after graduation. Gou Chen said succinctly, "Moreover, Egret Island has always been a place I want to go, and there is no special reason for me, I just want to go." ”

"Egret Island Base City...... Not bad. Chen Yuan smiled.

After the "great changes in heaven and earth", the global sea level has increased dramatically, and the sea area around China has also shrunk a lot.

As an important city on the southeast coast of the motherland, Ludao Base City, like other coastal cities, has avoided the crisis of being swallowed by the sea through the "overall lifting" project.

Twenty-two base cities, including Ludao Base City, Shanghai Base City, Shenzhen Base City, Hong Kong Base City, and Qingdao Base City, stand on the edge of the coastline of the motherland, undertaking China's coastal defense work and resisting the attack of monsters in the sea area.

The difficulty of defending against sea monsters is several orders of magnitude higher than that of land monsters, and the casualty rate of warriors is much higher than that on land.

With Gou Chen's college entrance examination results, he can choose a big city in the inland area to develop.

But he gave up such an opportunity and chose to devote himself to the cause of coastal defense in the southeast of the motherland, which surprised Chen Yuan, but also admired Gou Chen's courage and ambition.

Gou Chen saw Chen Yuan's contemplative expression, his eyes flashed, and he asked: "What about you, after the college entrance examination, there is still a chance to change your will, do you choose to go to the top famous school in China for further study, or ......?"

"I stuck with my original choice and stayed at Linjiang University. Chen Yuan said without thinking: "In the whole of China, only 'Linjiang University' has opened the 'Ancient Martial Arts Academy', so I have to go." ”

Gou Chen smiled and sighed: "But 'Linjiang University' is only a second-rate university in the country after all, and the employment prospects of 'Ancient Martial Arts' are far inferior to some popular majors of Tsinghua University and Peking University. ”

Chen Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said: "Some people live for employment, and some people live for the persistence in their hearts, just like you, you gave up the opportunity to go to an inland university for further study and chose the coastal 'Ludao University', isn't it also following the insistence in your heart?"

Gou Chen raised his head, looked at Chen Yuan in a daze for a few seconds, and for the first time there was a smile on his face, "Yes, this point, we are the same." ”

"That's right. Chen Yuan said with a smile, "I will definitely go to Ludao, and when the time comes, you will have to invite me to a seafood dinner." ”

"No problem," Gou Chen said, "I'll treat you, and you pay for it yourself." ”

Then he added, "You know how poor I am." ”

"Yes, the poor are left with only talent. Chen Yuan laughed.

The corners of Gou Chen's eyes twitched, and he said, "Grass, do you remember this stalk......"

These are the words he used to provoke Huo Yuan before the "Wuke City Quality Inspection".

Thinking of this, he smiled helplessly: "At that time, I really didn't expect that you could win the first place in the 'Wuke City Quality Inspection', and I didn't expect that in the end, you even won the top prize in the city's college entrance examination, and I won't pretend to be forced in the future." ”

"To be honest, I didn't expect it either. Chen Yuan thought for a while and said: "Having said that, sometimes, if you work hard to a certain extent, God will always reward you with something, if you haven't gotten the favor of God, it's either bad luck or not enough effort." ”

"Makes sense. Gou Chen nodded, thoughtful.

This was the first time he had opened his heart to talk to Chen Yuan.

In the past three years, he has either bullied Chen Yuan, or he is on the way to bullying Chen Yuan.

Now after some conversation, I found that the other party's thinking on some issues is far more profound than my own.

Thinking of this, the awe of Chen Yuan in my heart deepened a little.

At this time, the head teacher, Mr. Han, finally came late, took Chen Yuan's hand, and said anxiously: "Chen Yuan, hurry up and prepare, the principal has just been notified, saying that after the graduation ceremony, a press conference will be held temporarily." ”

"Press conference?" Chen Yuan couldn't help but be stunned and said, "No one told me." ”

"No one has told me about it......" Han Bin smiled awkwardly and said: "You took the matter of the city's civil and military champions, which caused a sensation in the entire Linjiang City, and now the media from all over the city have rushed to the school and strongly asked to interview you." Principal Xu really can't cope with it, so he can only agree, and after a while, they will ask you some questions, you can answer if you want to answer, and if you don't want to answer, don't answer, don't be too embarrassed yourself. ”

"I see. Chen Yuan nodded.

He is not averse to the media, as long as the other party does not ask any strange questions, he should be able to deal with it.

Gou Chen said with a smile on the side: "People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, Chen Da Zhuangyuan, don't be too nervous for a while, Principal Xu is still waiting for you to give the third middle school a long face." ”

"Don't bury me. Chen Yuan smiled bitterly.

At this time, the "Weigong Auditorium" has been fully arranged.

More than 500 senior high school students from Linjiang No. 3 Middle School all attended, lined up in a square formation according to their respective class order, and waited to participate in the last group activity of their high school stage.

After a while, the doors of the auditorium suddenly opened.

Principal Xu Huaiqiu walked into the auditorium with Shi Shiran, the vice principal, the director of teaching and other school leaders.

Behind them, dozens of media reporters carrying reporting equipment were also followed.

After the "revival of aura", the ancient profession of journalist has not disappeared, but has ushered in new opportunities for development. Especially at a time when the world is undergoing great changes and people in various countries are determined, the role of the media in guiding public opinion and stabilizing people's minds has quickly become prominent.

The reporter's reporting equipment has long been "changed for a shotgun".

From cameras and video cameras hundreds of years ago, it has evolved into a "fully automatic interview machine" that integrates functions such as recording, taking pictures, videography, and writing articles.

The interview content can be recorded into the device in real time, and through the automatic processing of artificial intelligence, a complete report with pictures and videos can be created.

Subsequently, the reporter corrects and processes the manuscript produced by artificial intelligence, and after confirming that it is correct, it is uploaded to the "news transmission system" that comes with the instrument and pushed to the psychic media equipment of every citizen.

President Xu and the school leaders entered the auditorium and took their seats on the rostrum.

The reporters were placed in a specific area diagonally in front of the podium.

Not long after, a dignified, neat suit of a young male teacher walked up to the rostrum, picked up the spiritual microphone in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Leaders, teachers, students, and all media friends who have come from afar, the graduation ceremony of the 2612 high school students of 'Linjiang No. 3 Middle School' is now officially started.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a thunderous applause from the audience.

At the same time, all the media immediately aimed the camera of the "interview machine" at the center of the rostrum.

Xu Huaiqiu stood up amid the applause of everyone.

He tidied up his suit slightly, looked at the hundreds of students in the audience with a kind face, and slowly said: "Colleagues, students, and media friends from the third middle school, hello everyone. ”

"Contemptible Xu Huaiqiu, a native of Suzhou, has eight out of sixty this year, and has served as the principal of the municipal No. 3 middle school for 23 years. ”

"In the past 23 years, I have witnessed this historic high school from an unknown and unpopular beginning, to today's lush branches and fragrant peach and plum. This is indispensable for the support and dedication of all colleagues, and the unremitting efforts of every student of the third middle school. ”

After speaking, he bowed deeply to the teachers and students in the audience.

The next moment, all the students of the third middle school spontaneously bent down and bowed to the old principal.

Being in the queue, Chen Yuan felt infinite emotion in his heart.

In his opinion, the old principal did his best for the school.

At the age of sixty or seventy, you still have to walk around for the development of the school and the future of the students.

What made Chen Yuan feel the most profound was after he was kidnapped by Yun Qingyan.

In just half a month, President Xu was under tremendous pressure, not only to come forward to appease his family, but also to face overwhelming accusations and abuse from all the media.

When we met again, it felt like he was a teenager in half a month.

Chen Yuan bowed for a long time, and he sincerely thanked the old principal for his encouragement and help.

If there is no him, the third middle school may still be the third middle school, but he is definitely not the current self.
