This time, Ye Chen was really a little puzzled, how could he give a speech by himself for no reason, as for what Wang Kong said that because he won the first place in the semi-finals, he gave a speech to the teachers and students of the whole school, Ye Chen didn't believe it, this is a speech by the teachers and students of the whole school, how could it be held deliberately because of this, if he won the first place in the finals, it would be almost the same.

Listening to Ye Chen's inquiry, Wang Kong couldn't help but glance at Ye Chen, his own student brain is a bit lively, he thought of so much in a simple sentence, Wang Kong remembered a psychology book he had read before, which described Ye Chen's psychology as a bit like a manifestation of insecurity, remembering that Ye Chen's parents died in an accident, Wang Kong sighed in his heart, and felt a little more sympathy for Ye Chen.

"Don't worry about it so much, this time it's not just for you, you're just at the right time. Wang Kong explained with a smile.

Ye Chen pursed his lips, suddenly a little unhappy, it turned out that he was just an incidental, but he was a little curious about what kind of big person his school invited to give a speech, thinking so in his heart, Ye Chen opened his mouth and asked:

"Who did the school invite?"

Hearing this, a strange smile appeared on Wang Kong's face, and he said lightly:

"You know this guy, to be exact, he's still your senior, but he's going to be your rival soon. ”

Ye Chen saw that Wang Kong was selling Guanzi, and he didn't bother to ask again, after all, he didn't plan to go, and tomorrow was very important to him, because tomorrow afternoon was the day when the "Da Vinci" code was officially published!

"Teacher, can I not go? Tomorrow is the day my novel is published. Ye Chen said.

"I know, but that's why I suggest you go. ”

Ye Chen didn't quite understand, and continued to ask, "Why?"

"Tomorrow's speech, the media in Qingyang City will come. Wang Kong said lightly.

When Ye Chen heard this, he immediately understood something, and immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll come tomorrow, but who is so big and can actually attract the media in Qingyang City, I don't believe that the school will do such a thing." ”

This time, Wang Kong didn't sell it, but gently spit out two words from his mouth.

"Cheng Ji. ”

Ye Chen suddenly realized, it turned out to be him! No wonder, no wonder it could attract so many media.

As a representative figure of the young generation in Qingyang City in the literary world, Cheng Ji has always been very favored in the local media in Qingyang City, but what Ye Chen didn't expect was that his first fight with Cheng Ji was actually in tomorrow's speech, no surprise, Cheng Ji will definitely promote his new book tomorrow, but this is also a great opportunity for him.

This is going to change the usual, the media will definitely not bird themselves, but tomorrow will be different, as the only heavyweight guest, and tomorrow's protagonist, Cheng Ji will definitely be the last to give a speech, if he comes on stage, he will definitely be the first, then, the media will inevitably report the whole process, although it is not a live broadcast, the media may downplay themselves, or even mention themselves at all, but as long as their performance tomorrow is good enough, or better than Cheng Ji, then, this is an excellent publicity opportunity.

Thinking about this, Ye Chen began to think about what he would give tomorrow, but as a student, it was nothing more than learning-related things, and even the school just made himself mean, Ye Chen asked Wang Kong, and sure enough.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen began to think about what he was going to give a speech tomorrow, such a good opportunity, he must grasp it.

Just as Ye Chen was thinking, a long-lost electronic synthesis sound suddenly came to his mind.

"Drop! I want to give a speech when the system has detected a release task. ”

"Mission description: Speech and eloquence are indispensable abilities for every traverser, conquer them!"

"Reward for mission success: Beginner presentation skills. ”

"Mission Failure Penalty: No Penalty. ”

Ye Chen looked at this task that suddenly appeared, and he was speechless, it seemed that his system was very aggressive, and every time he had any form of hostility with someone, the system would jump out and issue a task, which was also too much of an appetite for himself!

However, Ye Chen was still very satisfied with the reward for this mission, not to mention that there was no punishment for failure.

As the task description released by the system says, speech and eloquence are the indispensable abilities of every traverser, and he is a man who aspires to be a writer! In the future, he will definitely leave his own speeches at major universities in the world.

However, it is too far to think about this now, and it is imperative to think about what you should give a speech this time.

Although Ye Chen has no experience in speeches, the most basic precautions for speeches are still clear, but the most important thing in speeches is incitement, there was a great speaker on the earth in his previous life, that mustache, the most powerful man in the world at that time, a little exaggerated, his speech instigated a country and provoked a world war!

Of course, Ye Chen is not a careerist, but with the comparison, Ye Chen knows what to give tomorrow.

The time of the day passed in a flash, and the next morning, Ye Chen washed up very early, considering that he would give a speech later, Ye Chen thought about it and decided that it was more appropriate to wear a school uniform, after all, his identity was a student.

Soon, Ye Chen came to the school, stayed in Qingshui High School for three years, Ye Chen still knew the place where he spoke, and walked towards the school's track and field, and sure enough, at a glance, he saw that the rostrum in front of the track and field was already full of people.

It was half past eight. There was still half an hour before the start of the speech.

Ye Chen walked towards the rostrum, and at a glance saw Wang Kong standing on the rostrum, and the person standing next to him recognized Ye Chen, who was the principal of Qingshui High School.

"Teacher, I'm here. Ye Chen greeted politely, and then nodded to the principal, "Hello principal." ”

The principal is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a popular Mediterranean hairstyle among middle-aged men, without waiting for Wang Kong to speak, the principal said with a smile: "Ye Chen, right, you won the first place in the semi-finals for the school this time, the school is proud of you, wait a while, you will give a speech first, don't be nervous, just say a few words about your usual learning experience, by the way, your speech is ready, right?"

I have to say that being able to be the principal of Qingshui High School still has his own ability, and he didn't take the principal's shelf, but he followed very much, coupled with a gentle voice, in just a few words, it made Ye Chen feel like a spring breeze.

"Rest assured, principal, I'll behave well, but I didn't bring a speech this time. Ye Chen said calmly.

After listening to Ye Chen, the principal admired Ye Chen's performance of not having stage fright, after all, this was a speech in front of thousands of people, and there were so many media, and Ye Chen was just a senior in high school, and it was rare to be able to look calm at this time, but the principal didn't understand the second half of Ye Chen's sentence, but he thought that Ye Chen might have forgotten to bring the manuscript and didn't want to put pressure on Ye Chen, the principal smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't bring a speech, just say a few words, relax, don't put pressure on yourself." ”

"No, I didn't write a speech, I'm going to give an unscripted speech. Ye Chen said lightly.

Seeing that Ye Chen still looked calm, the principal's eyes froze, and he thought: "It's a bit interesting for me to be a student, in the face of so many people's speeches, not only is he not stage frightened, but he is also confident enough to give an off-script speech." ”

The principal suddenly became a little interested, glanced at Ye Chen, turned his head to Wang Kong and laughed: "Teacher Wang, it seems that this little classmate of yours is still very confident!" As he spoke, the principal turned his head to Ye Chen and encouraged: "Okay, then the principal will wait to see your performance." ”

Ye Chen listened to the principal's encouragement, and he didn't feel anything, just smiled and didn't speak.

Wang Kong on the side had long been accustomed to Ye Chen's enigmatic self-confidence, and he didn't care when he saw this, and looked at the time, Wang Kong was a little worried:

"Headmaster, it's already 8:45, why hasn't Cheng Ji come yet?"

Hearing this, the principal was also a little worried, Cheng Ji was a student who went out of Qingshui High School, and he knew this person when he was a teacher ten years ago, and Cheng Ji was a man of the year on campus at that time, so the principal also knew a little about Cheng Ji, and his personality was rather strange.

However, you can't regret what you agreed to, right?

Although he was a little worried, the headmaster smiled and said, "It's okay, it should be there later." ”

Seeing that the principal said this, Wang Kong didn't say anything more, so he had to wait patiently with him.

Five minutes passed, and the principal looked in the direction of the school gate from time to time, although his face was still very calm, but the gaze cast towards the school gate from time to time revealed the principal's inner anxiety.

Ten minutes have passed, and at this time, even Ye Chen understands in his heart that this speech is estimated to be smashed, and this Cheng Ji may not come, even Ye Chen thinks so, not to mention the teachers and students, the media, and a few parents under the chairman's high stage.

"Lao Li, why hasn't Cheng Ji appeared yet, your eyes are better, take a closer look, is there Cheng Ji on the rostrum?" asked a reporter with a Qingyang Evening News sign around his neck, to a reporter from another media.

"I'll see, uh, it doesn't seem to be, but I heard that the first speaker this time was the high school student from Qingshui High School who won the first place in the semi-finals of the National Youth Literary Creation Competition, maybe Cheng Ji and so on just appeared. ”

"It's also said that Cheng Ji's personality is not very good, and this kind of pigeon release is not the first time I have seen it, but I hope he is really just late. The reporter of Qingyang Evening News was a little worried.

"It's really possible, it is said that the reason why Cheng Ji terminated the contract with the publishing house last time was also because he did not cooperate with the publicity. A reporter named Lao Li whispered.

"This is too proud, this is his alma mater!" Lao Li said with some dissatisfaction, as a native of Qingyang City, he has always agreed with Qingshui High School, and it is natural for Lao Li to be a little unhappy.

"Forget it, it's useless to think about this, let's wait, if you don't see Cheng Ji after that high school student's speech, let's go, if Cheng Ji doesn't come, today is in vain, a high school student has no news value." The reporter of Qingyang Evening News took out a cigarette, took a puff, squinted his eyes and said with a look of enjoyment.

"Well, that's what I thought too. Lao Li said lightly.

On the rostrum.

The principal heard a lot of discussion in the audience, and from time to time there was a rumor, "Where is Cheng Ji? Why didn't I see it?" "Cheng Ji shouldn't come, right?"

The principal took a deep breath, already convinced in his heart that Cheng Ji might not come, but he still turned around and asked a teacher who was holding a mobile phone and talking anxiously, "How is it, Teacher Wan, is Cheng Ji's phone getting through?"

Hearing this, Teacher Wan said helplessly: "The fight is opened, but the process Ji said that the traffic jam on the road can't come." ”

The headmaster is completely dead at this time.

At this time, Teacher Wan hesitated a little and said, "But I listened to the tone of his voice, a bit like he hadn't woken up yet, I don't know if I heard it wrong." ”

The headmaster's face turned pale.

"You're right, Cheng Ji must have been drinking again, he was like this when he was still studying in Qingshui High School, he often didn't come to class because of alcoholism, I didn't expect it to be like this for so many years, forget it, don't think about it now, now you have to think about how to save the scene." ”

As he spoke, the principal walked back and forth in a bit of a hurry, and the other teachers were also thinking about countermeasures, but it was only a few minutes before the start of the speech, and they couldn't think of any good way for a while.

"Headmaster, why don't we cancel the speech this time?" Teacher Wan on the side hesitated.

"No, the school must have the credibility of the school, and it cannot lose its trust to students and parents, not to mention that there are so many media. The headmaster refused.

"Then, what should I do? Later, if the parents of the students and the media find out that Cheng Ji did not come, they will definitely think that the school is cheating. Teacher Wan was a little worried.

Hearing this, the principal took a deep breath and said, "It's really not good, I'll take the responsibility." ”
