Duan Huaiyuan is the president of the student union of the School of Light Chemical Engineering and a third-year student in the Department of Political Science. He's busy these days, busy preparing a lecture that needs to pull at least 200 students into the auditorium.

The reason is this, the External Relations Department suddenly received a sponsorship, a huge sum of 2,000 yuan.

At this time, the outreach department of the student union in a small city is really only engaged in outreach, and it has not yet become a "sponsorship department", because it can't be pulled if you want to. Now that he suddenly got a sum of money, the student union was a little apprehensive, for fear of violating some rules.

Fortunately, the sponsors only asked them to bring 200 students to the auditorium, and only for juniors and seniors, saying that they were going to hold some kind of speech conference.

What is the content of the presentation?

Duan Huaiyuan didn't know, and he didn't even know who was going to give the speech. Anyway, Xifeng Food Company gave money, and they did what they were asked to do, and the school leaders had no objection to this.

It's hard to fool the old fritters in the senior year, Duan Huaiyuan tried his best, and only mobilized more than 40, and the rest were all juniors.

At half past eight in the morning, nearly 200 students entered the auditorium, sitting and chatting in a mess, as noisy and chaotic as a vegetable market.

Duan Huaiyuan stood on the stage and slapped his hands and shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet, don't sit around, be sure to fill the first three rows!"

Except for the cadres of the student union, no one cares, what to do.

Duan Huaiyuan could only personally lead the cadres to persuade, and finally filled the first three rows, and the auditorium was still noisy.

It's not that the quality of the students is too poor, but because today's speech is a bit inexplicable, and none of them are willing to run on their own.

"Look, there's a big beautiful woman here!" a student suddenly shouted.

In the weather in April, Chen Tao wore an OL skirt, even if she was protected by stockings, she still felt a little chilly. As soon as she entered, the auditorium quickly became quiet, and the college students in Rongping City had never seen this kind of dress in reality, and they all guessed their identities.

Song Weiyang and Yang Xin followed in, and the students who watched the MV of "A Thousand Paper Cranes" immediately felt that he was very familiar, but they didn't call out the name "Ma Junhao" on the spot.

When Song Weiyang stood in the center of the rostrum, the students understood that he was the protagonist, and immediately turned their heads to each other-

"Who is this man, and what is he here for?"

"Quite young, maybe a new poet invited from outside. ”

"There is this possibility, the student union said that it invited a mysterious guest, and it should be him. ”

"So today is a poetry exchange?"

"It's a waste of my time, I don't read poetry, and I have to go back to experiments. ”

"How do I feel a bit like the male protagonist of the MV for "A Thousand Paper Cranes"?"

"What is a MV?"

"It's a music video, and it's shown on the TV station. ”

"I've heard the tape of "A Thousand Paper Cranes", but I haven't seen the MV, and I can't watch TV at school. ”

"Who does it matter, I only came here for the sake of Lao Duan's face, and I will leave after listening. ”

“……”

In 1994, it was absolutely in vain to want to go to the university to do campus recruitment. Except for large companies or foreign companies that are well-known in the country, students do not look down on them at all, because they do not have the problem of finding a job.

Then, we had to find a different way, and so we had today's speech conference.

"Ahem!"

Song Weiyang coughed twice into the microphone, which was not only an audition, but also to attract the attention of students. Seeing everyone looking at the rostrum, he smiled and said: "Let me introduce first, I am the chairman of Xifeng Food Company, my name is Song Weiyang, I am currently in my third year of high school, and the newspaper calls me 'Director Xiao Song'." ”

"It's him!"

"Really a high school student?"

“……”

"Director Xiao Song" is still very famous in Rongping, and since the "Rongcheng Evening News" published a special report, "Rongping Daily" has also reprinted it. Combined with Song Shumin's popularity in the local area, last year's "Little Song Factory Director" was widely discussed, and even these college students have heard of it.

Although college students are arrogant, they usually appreciate or admire Song Weiyang when they talk about it.

"I'm a high school student, you're a college student, and speaking of which, I'm not qualified to stand on it and speak," Song said, "so today is not a speech, but I want to communicate with you, and we will discuss with each other." Please forgive me for delaying everyone's time!"

After speaking, Song Weiyang stood on the stage and bowed deeply.

This act of bowing immediately eliminated the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the students, and they all felt that Song Weiyang was modest and polite, and they were embarrassed to make any more noise.

"Bang bang bang!"

Duan Huaiyuan, the president of the student union, was very discerning and took the lead in applauding: "Director Song is too polite, although you are a high school student, you can't compare to the big things you have done." Those of us who have never been in contact with the society also hope to exchange experiences with Director Song. ”

The officials of the student council immediately applauded, and the other students also applauded.

"Thank you for your understanding," Song Weiyang went straight to the point, "What do I want to communicate with you today? It is the confusion of contemporary intellectuals! At present, there are some slips of the tongue circulating in society: those who build atomic bombs are better than those who sell tea and eggs, and those who hold scalpels are better than razors. The state is centered on economic construction, the whole people are busy doing business, and the cadres of government organs have gone to the sea one after another to make money, and the wages of scientific research workers are not as good as those of ordinary workers in the special zones! You are all junior and senior students, and you are about to graduate, so do you want to think clearly about what you will do after graduation? Go to government agencies? In some places, county magistrates and mayors have gone to sea. Go to work in state-owned enterprises? At present, a large number of state-owned enterprises are dying, and those who are not dying are struggling! Where is your future? How can your dreams be realized?

A series of questions made these students smile, some pondering, some confused, and some discussing with the people next to them.

The 80s was an era of openness, but also an era of inferiority, and the wonderful world outside had a strong impact on college students. At the same time, they are also full of passion and ideals, actively engaged in literary creation, actively involved in national construction, and many of them actively strive to go abroad.

In the 90s, romanticism suddenly became utilitarian, pragmatist and money worshipper, and society changed so quickly that people couldn't react at all. Although college students are in the ivory tower, they have first-hand experience of this change, so they collectively enter a state of confusion, unable to find ideals, unable to see reality, and deeply worried about their future.

Song Weiyang pointed to Yang Xin and said, "This is Mr. Yang Xin, the general manager of Xifeng Food Company. Why did I mention him specifically? Because General Manager Yang used to be a college student, and he was a top student who graduated from Zhejiang University, and he is now my right-hand man!"

The scene was in an uproar, compared with Zhejiang University, the level of the School of Light Chemical Engineering was too far apart.

Song Weiyang continued: "After graduating from Zhejiang University, General Manager Yang became the deputy county magistrate in three months. He took the initiative to apply for a transfer to a local tannery, and in four years, he was able to make an annual profit of 20 million yuan from a state-owned enterprise that was on the verge of bankruptcy! However, he resigned and came to Rongping to serve as the general manager of Xifeng Food Company. Why did he do this? Letting a good deputy county magistrate be the director of a loss-making enterprise, and not being the director of a large state-owned factory, to be the general manager of a private enterprise?"

yes, why?

The students were confused.

Song Weiyang said: "Because General Manager Yang was ambitious! When he was the deputy county magistrate, there were nearly 20 deputy county magistrates in that county, and his powers overlapped and his effectiveness was low. At this time, General Manager Yang felt that state-owned enterprises were not the way out, and China's future lay in private enterprises. When he saw the news about me in the newspaper, he immediately resigned from his post as director of the state-owned factory and became the general manager of Xifeng Foods!"

After listening to Song Weiyang's introduction to Yang Xin's resume, the students were suddenly in awe and could no longer be proud. Because Yang Xin's qualifications from the graduate school, to the deputy county magistrate and the director of the state-owned factory, as well as the deeds he did, all crushed the college students in front of him.

Song Weiyang pointed at Chen Tao again and said, "This Miss Chen Tao is now the assistant general manager of Xifeng Food Company. She is not as good as you college students, she is just a secondary school student. However, she graduated from the second-ranked secondary school in the province, and her score in the technical secondary school examination was 40 points higher than the admission line of the best local high school! She had excellent professional ability, and it took only one year for her to be promoted to a middle-level cadre in a large cotton spinning factory. But she took the initiative to choose to be laid off and came to Xifeng Company to be General Manager Yang's deputy, because she knew that the state-owned enterprise where she worked was dying!"

These words made the students dare not underestimate Chen Tao. Because many of them also wanted to take the secondary school entrance examination, but they just didn't get in.

Song Weiyang said: "The experience of General Manager Yang and Assistant General Chen tells us that there is no way out for state-owned enterprises, do you still want to enter state-owned enterprises after graduation?"

The college students were speechless, and some wanted to defend themselves, but the reality made them helpless.

"What is your dream? Have you lost it, and can you get it back now?" Song Weiyang asked several questions in succession.

No one answered.

Song Weiyang suddenly shouted loudly: "I have a dream!"
