An old man in his sixties, with a completely bald forehead, paced onto the rostrum in an official manner, and the flashing lights and shutter sound in the audience were many times denser at once.

This old man is Hu Zuodong, the senior minister of the Sing Tao National Academy.

In the early 90s, when the International Collegiate Debating Tournament was first held, he presented two awards and attended the opening and closing ceremonies. However, after Sing Tao Prime Minister Lai Kuan Yew retired to the second line and Hu Chok Tong took over as prime minister, he no longer attended such activities.

After all, allowing the head of a country to directly attend such an event is somewhat overkill, and it is easy to be looked down upon by foreigners.

Three years ago, after Hu Chok Tong once again gave up the position of prime minister to the second generation of dictator Lai Hsien Loong and changed himself to state counsel, he was once again arranged to participate in various ceremonial foreign affairs activities and international competitions, which is why he attended the award today.

Therefore, the cents don't just say that "the father dies and the son succeeds in the north stick, and the brother ends up with the ancients", whether it is dictatorship or hereditary, there are both worlds of capital and society.

It's just that capital pays attention to how much face the world has, and always has to find some people to cross the bridge - such as Yan Jiagan and the like. (The son of the president of the United States became the president, the daughter of the president of Nambang became the president, and the grandson of the prime minister of Fuso became the prime minister, these cannot be called hereditary.) It's a political family of gatekeepers, there have been many years in between, and they were chosen by themselves. Wanwan Star Island was truly hereditary back then. ）

After gossiping, Hu Zuodong walked in front of the four members of Jinling Normal University, first picked up the trophy from the tray in the hands of the emcee lady, handed it to Tian Haimo, and then shook hands with the sister, said a word of encouragement, and then handed the certificate to the other party.

Then, he picked up the medal of this year's best debater from the tray of the second emcee lady and handed it to Feng Jianxiong - it was supposed to be hung for Feng Jianxiong, but Feng Jianxiong was much taller than the old man, and he didn't want to bow to Hu Zuodong like the best debaters in the past. Therefore, when Hu Zuodong trembled and raised the gold medal in front of his nose, Feng Jianxiong took it with both hands and put it on himself.

Hu Zuodong's expression twitched.

Since he became the prime minister of Sing Tao, he has never seen someone who is reluctant to bow down to accept the award when he is on the plaque.

Feng Jianxiong's style naturally made him a little unhappy.

When those Olympic champions were gold medalized by Samaranch and Rogge, which one didn't bow down from the podium?

"Hehe, the future is terrifying, forget it, what do you have to do with this kind of person. Hu Zuodong used the spiritual victory method to encourage himself in his heart, and he didn't think about it anymore.

Feng Jianxiong is a big troll, but a few days ago, even a political bigwig like Chen Wenqian sprayed, and he couldn't fight with the other party.

But when this scene is seen by teammates, spectators in the stands, and even spectators in front of the TV, the effect is completely different.

"Xiaoxiong is really arrogant, I bowed slightly when I took the trophy just now, will I be looked down upon?" Tian Haimo, who took the trophy, was the first to reflect, and his face naturally had a slight fever. But everyone thought she was excited.

"Looking at Xiaoxiong's bearing, it seems that he is destined to be written into a history textbook in the future. I wonder if we will have a chance to be written into the history books in the future if we work with him?" Yu Meiqin looked at Feng Jianxiong in confusion, and suddenly had some illusions.

"It's so handsome, it's too domineering. It feels like the drama of filming Thatcher wrestling in front of the General Assembly Hall 20 years ago. A senior CCTV photographer in charge of the broadcast thought.

……

The lights gradually went out, but the audience refused to leave, Feng Jianxiong was pulled aside by CCTV reporters, asking all kinds of questions, talking about feelings and prospects, so he was not busy.

"Killing me on this day is not a crime of war. Sitting on the other side of the bench, the former Asian Emperor Bai Zhizhong shrugged calmly and lonely.

His reaction can be regarded as open-minded and open-minded. If you change to an extremely cautious one, because of the huge psychological gap by the newcomer, it is also possible to be afraid of being stimulated to schizophrenia.

Perhaps, it is because of Feng Jianxiong's progressive and stripped cocoon tactics in the game that the world has seen that "this topic is not fair in the first place, and Feng Jianxiong's propaganda is actually the way of heaven".

No one can fight against the Heavenly Dao. Defeated because of the fight against the Heavenly Dao, the loser is obviously easier to accept in his heart.

This is why Bai Zhizhong has the above feelings.

At this moment, he just regretted why he chose to continue his PhD.

Or, even if he studied for a doctorate, it was no problem, but why did he still can't resist the persuasion of the coach and the entanglement of fame and fortune after studying for a doctorate, and participated in this event for the third time?

He would have had a chance to make a name for himself and retreat bravely. Now it has "made the erector famous".

It's fate.

Bai Zhizhong suddenly saw it.

He watched quietly, waiting for his teammates to pack up. Feng Jianxiong, who was on the other side, answered a total of seven or eight questions from CCTV reporters, and also signed dozens of girls who broke through the encirclement and squeezed in, and then retreated to the lounge under the escort of security personnel.

Also as a contestant, Bai Zhizhong and other Wanwan Shixin University players naturally have a special channel. Bai Zhizhong didn't know what to think, so he followed and intercepted Feng Jianxiong at the door of the lounge.

"Congratulations, I'm definitely not here for the next session, I heard that you're only a sophomore, and you have more chances to win the best debater. The congratulations in the white execution sound a little sincere, like the truth, but it inevitably carries a sense of fate of "who the sky spares".

Feng Jianxiong also generously shook hands with Bai Zhizhong in front of his teammates on both sides: "Thank you, you are very respectable opponents." Unfortunately, I was lucky, and the subject could draw on foresight and prophecy—which is not something that can be countered by argument. ”

Bai Zhizhong smiled slightly and put himself in his shoes and said: "Most of you are studying law, in American countries, there is no law major in undergraduates, only graduate students, and they are all doctorates after studying." On the mainland, it seems that you want to become a lawyer, and you also started with a master's degree, right? I don't know how long you plan to study again and how many times you will participate in the competition. ”

"Thank you for your concern, I probably won't go to graduate school, it's a waste of time. Feng Jianxiong shrugged his shoulders and smiled naturally and calmly, "And before I came, our dean guaranteed me to graduate a year early, so I don't think it's likely that I will come back to participate in this competition." If there is an accident, it will be done again at most, and it is absolutely impossible to participate in it three times anyway. ”

Bai Zhizhong's stiff smile was mixed with a few obvious bitterness, and he sighed sincerely: "Actually, everyone should be like this." Some things are not challenged, so what good is it to keep repeating them. Farewell. ”

"Why don't you have a drink together?" Feng Jianxiong said casually.

Bai Zhizhong and the other three teammates were all stunned, and subconsciously looked at Feng Jianxiong with stupid and harmonious eyes.

However, Feng Jianxiong looked frank and serious, not like he wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate the loser.

"Don't you think this is rude and easy to make people think too much?"

If it weren't for knowing that the person on the other side was very knowledgeable and calculating, Bai Zhizhong would definitely suspect the other party, Shi Lezhi.

Feng Jianxiong's next sentence completely changed Bai Zhizhong's view:

"You know I don't want to humiliate anyone, and I know you don't feel like you're losing because you're not as good as a man for pure argument. The world is big, and what is it for a well-spoken person to stare at a game - do you think your roommate is insulting you because you lose a little money playing cards with your roommate during your lunch break, and then your roommate treats you to a barbecue?"

Bai Zhi was stunned.

Feng Jianxiong said so casually, and the example was so natural.

It turned out that the champion of the "International College Debating Tournament" was just a character in his eyes with "winning money by playing double deductions with his roommate during his lunch break".

Feng Jianxiong saw the other party's reaction, and continued to fan the flames casually: "Don't you think that those senior students who have won good grades and won very successful competitions in previous years are still not fast enough to finally step on the upward channel of society? Although people with good eloquence in this society are already quite respected, there are not many work models suitable for them to fully display their strengths. It's not to be a host, or to be a lawyer or a marketer.

There are so few talk shows in the Chinese-speaking cultural circle that there are more than those of the United States. There are many fewer new online courses in the field of new media and eloquence in the Chinese-speaking world than in the United States. How popular is a mass-based, entertaining, and massive TV debate show? I'm sorry, not at all — because we don't need to run for president like the people of the United States.

If you are interested, have a drink together, maybe you will choose to come to me after graduation in the future, the prospects are very broad, don't stare at the few dollars of pocket money you lost during the lunch break. ”

Bai Zhizhong's knees were almost weak, and he was hit by a sense of powerlessness.

When he lost the game, he wasn't so weak. After all, the idea that "this day will kill me, not the crime of war" still supports his belief.

But at this moment, he really knew that the gap between himself and Feng Jianxiong was not a little bit.

It can be said that in addition to his eloquence, he is far worse than Feng Jianxiong from any other angle.

"Thanks, let's have a drink. Let's all be together. When Bai Zhizhong said this, his voice suddenly became a little hoarse, as if his throat was suddenly stuck to something, and it needed the impact of the air flow to tear it apart again.

Feng Jianxiong's three female teammates also looked at him with more and more awe.

This is the real three-inch tongue, the soldier who surrenders without a fight.

Of course, it is the ability to win against others.

But it is a more awesome ability to convince people to lose, and to surrender with courtesy, isn't it beautiful.

At that moment, Feng Jianxiong not only won the championship, but also had the courage to take charge of the Chinese spray altar.

"I please, you pick the place, you're welcome. Feng Jianxiong said casually.

"I'm not polite to you, today's wine is estimated to be talked about in the future, and you're embarrassed if it's shabby. Let's go to Raffles' Bar. Bai Zhizhong could afford to put it down, and ordered a bar by name.

Feng Jianxiong didn't know why the other party was so solemn, but he didn't care about this little money.

The next group hailed two cars, one for each team, and drove to Raffles' Bar.

But in retrospect many years later, this solemnity is not so difficult to understand.

After all, there were already countless good deeds at that time, and this wine was used as a historical event for after-dinner conversations. IT'S LIKE PEOPLE SAY, "ZUCKERBERG AND SAVIRIN HAD A FEW DRINKS AT THE HARVARD ELITE CLUB AND PLAYED WITH WOMEN, AND THEN THEY HAD A FLASH OF INSPIRATION AND FACEBOOK."
