Chapter 65: It's Time to Grow Up
January 1, 2013, morning, 7:00.
The students of each class of Shimizu No. 1 Middle School sat obediently in the classroom, and the head teacher also stood on the podium.
It's just that some of the head teachers have relatively serious expressions, and some are relatively kind.
Yu Xianglin, the head teacher of the eighth class of high school, is one of the relatively kind, because in this Spring Thunder Operation, no one in the class was arrested, which made him very passable.
But he also knows very well that not having it this time does not mean that there really is no one in his class, and some students just happened not to go yesterday.
The students sitting in the classrooms were all very quiet, especially the ones who had only returned in the morning.
Now everyone is waiting for the school's trial and punishment of the students who were arrested in this spring thunder operation.
They won't know that this is probably the most important lesson of their lives, an educational lesson from the principal of their alma mater.
"Ahem, ahem".
"Hey, hey, hey".
In the loudspeaker in the upper right corner of each classroom, the sound of Principal Zheng Zemin's audition was heard.
A few seconds later, a kind but serious voice came.
"Hello students of Qingshui No. 1 Middle School, I am the principal Zheng Zemin.
I think everyone already knows about last night's mighty spring thunder operation.
Here I would like to tell those students who won the lottery in this operation that the good news is that the school will not take any punitive measures against you, nor will it inform your parents, and I vouch for my reputation as the principal of Shimizu No. 1 Middle School. ”
After saying this paragraph, some of the students who were sitting in a precarious position and even broke out in a cold sweat were confused.
This script is a little different from what I imagined!
According to the school's past inertia, it should be reported first and then the parents, and finally the class will be suspended for a week.
Why aren't there any of them today?
Happiness came so suddenly, they both wondered if they had just had auditory hallucinations.
There are three types of students who have a night plan.
The first is that they are studying and have a good academic performance, but they just want to play and can't control themselves, or they like to follow the group and act together.
This one is generally more afraid of parents, and every time they go out to play, they are mostly sneaky.
The second is that if you don't study, you just play all the time, and you are afraid of your parents and you don't want to be criticized by school teachers.
Although this one doesn't read, it still cares more about face.
The third is that it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what happens, it has become a habit to be criticized and educated, and it has been mixed up in school, not afraid of parents, and not afraid of being criticized.
But in any of the above, I definitely feel that it is best not to be punished and not to be told to parents, after all, more is better than less.
It's just a scene that just happened, and it's really hard to believe that this is the truth.
Including the homeroom teachers of each class, they are a little confused, so, what did their principal Zheng just say?
No punishment? No notifying parents? Won't they be reckless in the future? Are these students saying it is useful?
They have already been verbally taught countless times, and no actual punishment will work at all.
Every teacher was puzzled.
However, the voice of Principal Zheng that came out next on the radio made everyone think deeply.
"Yesterday, when I was preparing for the New Year's Day show this morning, I suddenly received a phone call. ”
As soon as he said this, the teachers and students knew that such an unusual thing happened today was related to this phone call.
Everyone also gathered their attention and listened carefully to Principal Zheng's following words.
"The mobile phone shows that the number of the incoming call is located in the bustling metropolis of Modu.
At that time, I was still wondering, I didn't know anyone in the magic capital, but I thought that I didn't need money to answer the phone, and I could tell the difference when I met a scammer, so I decisively pressed the listen button.
As a result, the other party asked in the first sentence: Are you the principal of Shimizu No. 1 Middle School?
At this time, I basically believed that he was not a liar, and he should have come to me for something, after all, it seems that no liar would deceive the principal of a high school!"
Zheng Zemin's voice became more and more kind, and there was a smile in his tone, giving people a very relaxed feeling.
The students sitting in the classroom sounded as if Principal Zheng was talking to his peers.
Everyone's hearts also went from tense to curious, and then to relaxed.
But Principal Zheng's next words shocked all the teachers and students.
After receiving my affirmative answer, the man made all his intentions known in one breath.
In a nutshell, he is a staff member of Nike's Huaxia Division Headquarters, and he saw the wonderful performance of Lin Nan, a classmate from our school, in this National High School Basketball League, and wanted him to endorse Nike's basketball shoes, so he came to me to ask about Lin Nan's parents' phone number.
I was shocked at the time, but soon I felt that it seemed to be expected. ”
Zheng Zemin paused to give the students a moment to accept it.
That's right, every student sitting in the classroom at this moment was shocked.
Lin Nan became very famous for his wonderful performance in the basketball league during this time, which everyone knows.
Some people also have a hunch that Lin Nan will shine in the basketball world in the future.
But they didn't expect it to be so soon!
That's Nike!
One of the world's leading sports brands, Nike can be seen everywhere on the street!
actually took the initiative to seek endorsement from Lin Nan, who is still in their first year of high school at their school?
It took a long time for the classmates to accept the explosive news from the bottom of their hearts.
Then I heard Principal Zheng continue: "Finally, I reported Lin Nan's father's phone number to him.
You may wonder, why do I say expected?
You must know that it is a famous Nike brand, and although Lin Nan is currently famous in this basketball league, after all, even the finals are far away, and Lin Nan is just more famous in the basketball world in Lingnan City.
It stands to reason that it is far from enough to meet Nike's endorsement standards.
But I think Nike made the right choice.
Because during the summer vacation of this year, I already knew Lin Nan, on the basketball court of our QS County Cultural and Sports Plaza.
I know this kid your age, and I go to that court every day during the summer vacation, and I kind of went there early.
I remember that every time I went, Lin Nan was already sweating profusely there, and every time I left, he was still playing happily on the court.
So under my nose, Lin Nan's ball skills are improving rapidly day by day.
From a rookie at the beginning, to a basketball master after the summer vacation.
Later, when I watched him play in high school basketball again, he was already at the center of the team.
Although this is happening right in front of my eyes, I am still curious about how a person's basketball strength can improve so quickly.
I didn't know until I communicated with Lin Nan's father last night.
Since January of the third year of junior high school, when Lin Nan came into contact with and liked basketball.
Until now, to this day! Lin Nan insists on training basketball every morning and evening, no matter how windy or rainy, no matter what happens, he has never stopped.
This is something that Lin Nan's teammates on the basketball team at school, or his roommates in the dormitory should know.
You say, can such a person who likes basketball, has talent, and has persistence endorse Nike?"
Zheng Zemin breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of water, and said a long paragraph that dried his mouth.
The basketball team members sitting in each classroom and Lin Nan's roommate in Class 8 of high school were the most touched.
They really know Lin Nan's love and persistence for basketball.
Not to mention the basketball team, Lin Nan's roommates all know that Lin Nan takes a bath at least twice a day, and even three or four times a day.
He doesn't love cleanliness or has a habit of cleanliness, he is sweaty all over his clothes!
Can you imagine the kind of clothes you wear on your body as if they were taken out of the water?
They are also the group of people who are least surprised by Lin Nan's endorsement incident.
Because Lin Nan was by their side, they felt from the bottom of their hearts that Lin Nan fully possessed the qualifications and conditions to endorse Nike.
......
Finally, Zheng Zemin said sincerely on the radio: "I hope that every student in the school will go home during this New Year's Day holiday and think about it, and have a good exchange with their parents, what will their future be?"
Those students who don't like to read or study, think about what you can do without studying in the future, what do you want to do? Do you want to play basketball like Lin Nan, or play football, or do other things.
It's time for you to grow up!
You may not like to study, but you must have something that you like and stick to that makes you feel happy from the bottom of your heart!
It's time to grow up!
As for those students with excellent grades, they should also think carefully about what university they are going to go to, what major they are going to study, and what they will be engaged in in the future, all of which are things that should be thought about now.
Don't know the exam with all your mind, know what you're studying for, and learn knowledge.
Okay, that's all I have to say, let's go to the playground and get ready to start today's New Year's Day show!"
Principal Zheng's last words fell, the radio was turned off, and it took a while for the class teachers to come to their senses and tell the students to prepare and then go to the playground.
Because, students like Lin Nan, who have been teaching for decades, are also seeing each other for the first time!
Walking on the way to the playground, all the classes near the eighth class of high school looked here, looking for Lin Nan, the protagonist in the broadcast just now.
Everyone has seen a lot of celebrities in books, on TV, and on the Internet, but this is the first time they have appeared around.
I didn't feel it when I was far away from me, but when I was so close, I realized that Lin Nan was actually an ordinary person.
Small-headed, 178-tall, dressed in the same padded jacket as them, and speaking the same dialect as them.
But why is he so... So... What about success?
Is it because of goals, passions, and persistence?
