On June 28, the sky was clear and cloudless. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info79 read
10 days after the F&Q concert, the stadium of Nanjing Normal University was crowded again, and the enthusiasm was extraordinary, but last time everyone was wearing red T-shirts, and this time everyone was wearing black graduation clothes, with bachelor's and master's degrees and doctors, although there were only more than 8,000 people, less than one-third of the concert, but the liveliness was not reduced at all, this is the last afterglow of the four years of college, for many people, after today, the green campus has become a memory.
In addition to the students who were excited or melancholy, talking and laughing or in a daze, you can also see many reporters with long guns and short guns - today Fang Xiao will give a graduation speech as a student representative.
After the concert, F&Q disbanded on the spot, but the popularity did not decrease, the news came out one after another, and the screen was swiped every day, Fang Xiao "insulted" the well-known director for a while, Qiao Yadan terminated the contract with the school for a while, and it was revealed that she was the illegitimate daughter of a super-rich man...... Especially after Huang Zongqing, a superboss in the IT industry, intends to invest in Eye&Me and Goldman Sachs to give a valuation of $1.5 billion to Google, Fang Xiao has added a layer of aura as a benchmark for post-90s entrepreneurship in addition to being a superstar in the entertainment industry, and has become the focus of competition in the IT and financial circles.
After the news that Fang Xiao did not go to the United States to watch the World Cup and stayed to attend the graduation ceremony was confirmed, the graduation ceremony of an ordinary university on the second-rate tail of Nanjing Normal University immediately soared to a level that was not inferior to top universities such as Tsinghua University and Hong Kong University.
A reporter took a few photos of the rostrum and chatted with his colleagues: "I don't seem to see the members of the Queen Orchestra?" β
"Mai Jiexin is not from Southern Normal University, Lan Xiaoxi has dropped out of school, Shi Lilin is estimated to be here, but she doesn't know where to hide, she doesn't look like permission, everywhere she goes is the focus, as for Qiao Yadan, it is estimated that she will be fighting with permission for that photo haha."
"Hahaha...... It's possible. I saw Fang Xiao just now, and he looked calm. β
Of course he calmed down. Came here just to avoid the jealousy between the "qingren", and when they finished fighting, they went back to clean up the mess. β
"Also, when a man encounters this kind of thing, he must be able to hide as far as he can. Why didn't I see Lao Jiao of "Entertainment Weekly" today, he is a must-follow for F&Q news. β
"I don't know, maybe I'm going to do something else...... There are a lot of financial reporters. What kind of fun did they come to join, Fang Xiao never answered reporters' questions. β
"In our business, what we do is the work of chasing fame and fortune, we chase fame, they chase profit, Fang Xiao is now a real billionaire. will definitely enter the Forbes rich list next year, how can you not come. β
β¦β¦
"I said that it would open at 9 o'clock, but it was 9:05 a.m., and it was not open, so I knew it wouldn't come." Shi Lilin sat in the phalanx of the music department, looked at the sky, and then took off the hat of her bachelor's gown. Raised in his hand, covering the sunlight that directly covered his face, he scolded angrily: "The forecast says that it will be cloudy today, and it will be cloudy your sister!" β
Shi Lilin hid in the aisle at the back of the phalanx, the left was empty, and on the right was a beautiful girl with big eyes and pointed chin, she covered her forehead with a delicate fan, and said with a smile: "Arlene." You can go and sit on the podium, why do you have to be with us poor students. β
Shi Lilin cut off disdainfully and said, "Sitting with those old men, it's uncomfortable all over, it's better to bask in the sun here." β
She looked sideways, and then said with a smile: "Yuan Chenxi, you are much richer than me." I bought a house in Causeway Bay, and I am embarrassed to say that I am a poor student? β
This girl is Yuan Chenxi, Xu and Qiao Yadan's roommate, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "It was given by Kaizi." I didn't buy it myself, it's less than 100 square meters of small place, how can I compare with you, you can buy a big house with a random advertisement now, right? I heard that the day before yesterday, you had a big F&Q dividend, and each person shared more than 10 million? β
"More than 10 million for a ghost." Shi Lilin was a little irritable, she used her bachelor's hat as a fan, fanned it twice, and then complained: "The boss is purely fooling people, saying that it is 12 million per person, but he didn't get a dime, and he took it back when he changed hands." β
Yuan Chenxi was surprised and asked quietly, "Fang Xiao is corrupt?" β
"No, the boss has a lot of money and has nowhere to spend it, how can he be greedy for our little money, his "Little Bird" can earn more than 10 million a week." Shi Lilin waved her hand and said: "Our 12 million dividends are before tax, if you want to take it home, you have to pay more than 4 million taxes, and the MD tax bureau is a robber!" β
"To pay so much?"
"What do you think?! Later, the boss said that the company was doing internal financing and gave us preferential treatments, and we could exchange 12 million for equivalent stocks, so I exchanged all of them for stocks, and I didn't get a dime. β
"Come on, Arlene, don't pretend to cry poor. Fang Xiao is really generous enough, not only to help you save more than 4 million taxes, but also willing to share the shares......" Yuan Chenxi squinted his crooked eyes and said enviously: "Your company's shares are very popular, no matter how many people want to buy them, maybe 12 million will become 24 million next year, let alone the house, you can buy the villa in the middle of the mountain casually." β
She shook her fan and whispered, "Arlene, can you help me get some shares?" β
"You can ask Xiao Ke about this, I don't understand this, and I can't be the master."
"Xiao Ke is too serious, it's not good to talk at all, I said to be her secretary, she directly said that I don't have that ability, and I'm angry...... Arlene, sell me a little bit of what you have, just a few tens of thousands of shares, make a little money, my current boyfriend is a securities, and he has been asking me to buy some shares of Google. β
"My shares are all locked and can't be sold, so you better go find Xiao Ke." Shi Lilin said casually, then pointed to the rostrum, and said: "The principal is finally here, I hope he will finish his chatter quickly, and then leave to finish." β
"The principal is done, isn't there still your boss?"
"He speaks quickly, no more than five minutes at most." Shi Lilin put on her hat, smiled and said, "The boss is usually very slimy, and he is not ambiguous at all when he encounters a big scene. β
The president of Nanjing Normal University is an old man in his fifties, named Chen Xinzhao, who is a Ph.D. in physics, and the content of his speech is rigorous and logical. It is also a wise saying, but it is a bit boring, the speed of speech is slow, and it is steady, which makes people drowsy and unlikable to students.
"It's boring, it's all clichΓ©. Arlene. Do you know what your boss and others will say? β
"I don't know, he speaks like he writes a song, he comes casually, he can say whatever he wants, I guess even Xiao Ke doesn't know what he wants to say."
"It's rumored on the Internet that Qiao Yadan and Fang Xiao have a leg, is it true?"
"It's been going on for a long time. It's all nonsense. β
"They were all photographed." Yuan Chenxi took out his mobile phone, swiped it twice, then handed it to Shi Lilin, and whispered: "Na, someone sent a photo last night." β
This is a picture on eye&me, the title reads "Fang Xiao and Qiao Yadan Pool Fragrant Cheating Photo", and the content is a man and a woman frolicking in the pool. The male "chiluo" upper body, holding a woman in a bikini from behind, the two are attached to each other, head to head, and the posture is very intimate and.
Shi Lilin was taken aback, the men and women in the photo couldn't see their facial features clearly, but she was a frequent visitor to Fang Xiao's house, and occasionally went swimming to cool off. Instantly recognizable that the pool is the one in the backyard of the villa.
Is this a reporter entering the community to take a candid photo?
Or is it the neighbor in the neighborhood who has no intention of exposing it?
I wonder if the boss knows now......
Shi Lilin thought about it, and scratched left and right, and found that there were no other photos, so she asked, "Just this one?" β
"One isn't enough." Yuan Chenxi snickered and said, "Qiao Yadan is really good, the man who dares to steal her under Xiao Ke's nose, Xiao Ke is going crazy now." β
"People can't see clearly. Who knows who. Shi Lilin returned the phone to her with an indifferent expression, and covered it up: "Maybe it's computer synthesis." β
Yuan Chenxi was suspicious, she pulled her fingers and zoomed in on the photo to look at it carefully. Then he said: "This look, no matter how you look at it, it's all Jordan...... But it's no wonder that Fang Xiao is such an excellent man, who wants to hook up when he sees him, let alone Qiao Yadan, a woman. β
"Jordan isn't as good as you!"
"Anyway, it's all hooking men, hooking up one is, hooking up a group is also." Yuan Chenxi didn't care, she put away her mobile phone, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I didn't discover the potential of Fang Xiao's stupid goose before, so that Xiao Ke took the lead, but even if she found out, she probably couldn't grab Xiao Ke, if you really want to talk about it, the most loss is Tang Yiyi, I didn't get it, I don't feel distressed if I lost it, she got it and lost it, and I was the most distressed, she didn't come to the graduation ceremony today." β
"People are now film and television stars, busy filming, and have no time to come back."
Yuan Chenxi was stunned for a while, and then asked quietly: "Arlene, when will your queen orchestra recruit new people?" I'm going to try it too. β
"Forget it, how long has it been since you practiced the piano? The boss kicked you out with a single look. β
"I didn't say that I could play the piano, I can also sing, I'm not bad at singing, and I can dance, it's more open than that blue stream."
"Creek sings better than you." Shi Lilin said bluntly: "If you want to enter the entertainment industry, it is better to find a Kaizi and directly spend money to ask the boss to help you write a few songs, and the Queen Orchestra will not think about it." β
"How much does Fang Xiao write a song?"
"It depends on his mood, tens of thousands of yuan in a good mood, hundreds of thousands of yuan in a bad mood, and millions of dollars."
The two whispered below, and President Chen finally finished his speech that was not too long but felt very long, and then announced with a glance: "Next, I invite Fang Xiao, the representative of our outstanding graduates of Southern Normal University in 2014, to come up and give a graduation speech for everyone." β
There was a round of applause in the stadium, which was much more powerful than when the principal appeared just now.
Fang Xiao shook hands with Principal Chen, and then walked up to the rostrum, he stood in front of the microphone, just wanted to speak, but stopped again, pointed to the phalanx on the side of the music department, and said with a smile: "Brothers, pay attention to the influence, don't be too arrogant, quickly put it away, be careful of being beaten." β
The students who didn't know why turned around, only to see seven or eight students standing in a row on the square of the music department, holding a banner that read, "Fang Xiao, you are too good!" β
Fang Xiao exploded in the small universe overnight, from a dilapidated and poor silk to a super handsome and rich, full of inspirational and legendary, after becoming famous, he often haunted the campus, and took care of the students of the school when he was engaged in activities and concerts, and was down-to-earth and generous, so his reputation was extremely high, this banner did not cause people to be disgusted, but caused the audience to laugh. Some people applauded, some applauded, reporters also took pictures, and there was a commotion in the stadium, destroying the solemn atmosphere.
"Okay, okay, Du Fat, you guys are doing well. I'll go to my office to get the money later, so sit down now...... Forget about the second goods, let's get down to business. In the midst of laughter, Fang Xiao held the rostrum with both hands, and said, "Actually, I'm not so ......."
His slang prompted a burst of laughter and applause from the students.
"Really, I'm really not that bitten." Fang Xiao raised his fingers. "I went to college for four years and didn't get a scholarship once; I didn't have a part-time job, I didn't have a work-study job, and two months ago, I used to call home to ask for money; I often play games all night, I missed five classes, and I was still taking reexams last month......"
Fang Xiao's ugly things and frustrations have long been exhausted by gossip. This honest attitude won the favor of the students, and laughter and applause rang out again.
"Boss, this is a slap in the face!" Students in their early twenties are rebellious by nature and don't like serious scenes, Shi Lilin applauded and said with a smile: "I really want to see what color our Dean Jin's face is now." β
"All in all, I'm not a very good student, but to be clear. I'm very frustrated, it's not that the school management is bad, it's not that the teachers teach badly, it's not that there is a problem with the system, it's not that there is a problem with the society......" In the laughter, Fang Xiao knocked on the rostrum and said seriously: "This is not irony. It's not funny, frustrating, not good, it's just because I didn't work hard to be good. It has nothing to do with any other external factors. β
His seriousness infected the students through his voice, and the audience fell silent.
"President Chen invited me to come here to give a speech to you, let me give you some useful advice, it is a great honor to give a speech at the graduation ceremony, and I am very grateful to President Chen for his kindness." Fang Xiaohui made a gesture of thanks to Chen Xinzhao, and then continued: "But I really don't have any useful advice for everyone, I, like everyone, am just a student who is about to graduate, I have not experienced strong winds and waves, nor have I thought deeply about the truth of life, I am just an ordinary person who is a little lucky......"
As he spoke, he took out a translucent glass bottle from his pocket under his coat, motioned it to the student, and said, "But since you're here, it's not appropriate not to say anything, so I'll give you a suggestion - on a sunny day like today, please remember to wear sunscreen when participating in outdoor activities." β
Sunscreen?
The audience was stunned.
"Sunscreen can effectively block ultraviolet rays and prevent tanning or sunburn, many students - especially male students - have never worn sunscreen, but you must know that the summer sun is more scorching than you think, and prolonged exposure to sunlight may produce acute phototoxic reactions, so wear some sunscreen, I think this should be considered a useful piece of advice, just like drinking more water in summer to prevent heat stroke."
Fang Xiao pinched the glass bottle, shook it casually, then put it away, and said, "I won't tell you what brand I use, because they didn't give me advertising money." β
Laugh again.
"The benefits of using sunscreen are scientifically proven, and this advice should be very useful and reliable, but just this one suggestion, President Chen and others may not send me a graduation certificate...... So I'm going to put together a few more pieces of advice that aren't as reliable as sunscreens because they're not science, just some of my personal perspectives on life. β
"Let's talk about sunscreen...... Don't laugh, don't laugh, I mean, you have to take care of your body, because that's the only tool to enjoy life, and you have to be kind to it, even if you don't pay attention to it, don't deliberately destroy it. β
This is very serious, and it is also very reasonable, the students quieted down, and the faces of the leaders behind them also looked a little better.
"Speaking of enjoyment, I think at our age, we should enjoy our youth, don't care about our body, don't care about looks, youth is the most beautiful thing, enjoy it to the fullest, and do something that amazes us...... I sometimes think that in 20 years' time, when I look back at the photos now, I will be amazed at the countless possibilities that youth brings, and I will also be amazed by the handsome face and strong body I am now. β
The narcissistic remarks provoked laughter again......
"I didn't expect the goose to be so good at talking." Yuan Chenxi narrowed his eyes and said, "I like this sentence." β
"The boss is no longer a goose."
"When it comes to the future, I know that some students are very worried about the future, worried about bad jobs, worried about not being able to buy a house, worried about not being able to find a wife...... Don't worry about that, you see, you may or may not succeed in making a lot of money in the future. Maybe they will get married, maybe they won't, maybe they will have children, maybe they won't, maybe they will get divorced early, maybe they will grow old together, one way or another. Half the chance of a successful career and a happy marriage, everybody, including me - when I was swimming yesterday, I didn't expect to make headlines today, maybe I'll lose my girlfriend tomorrow......"
The audience burst into laughter and applause.
"Look. I'll just say it's your boss and Jordan! β
"Cut, the boss only said that he was swimming, and he didn't say cheating."
"In short, no one knows what will happen tomorrow, life is a vertical coin, which side to fall, it all depends on how to roll. You're going to get out anyway, anyway, like we're going to get out of school tomorrow...... Therefore, there is no need to suppress yourself by suffering from gains and losses in the future, and of course, you can't get carried away. β
"Tsk, Fang Xiao is really good enough, he actually made fun of his scandal at the graduation ceremony."
Compared with him, other stars in the entertainment industry are weak. When there is a scandal, you either panic, or resolutely deny it, or scold, look at others, lift weights lightly, and don't take it seriously at all, this is called superstar style. β
Fang Xiao naturally didn't know what the reporters below were talking about. He continued: "Since the future is uncertain and troubles are inevitable, try to make yourself happy every day, such as waking up in the morning and singing F&Q songs out loud...... Of course, you can also sing other people's songs. It's okay to sing any song, but don't waste your time on being jealous of others, life is a long journey, sometimes you will be ahead, sometimes you will fall behind, but in the end, dust will return to dust, dust will return to earth, everyone is the same, only yourself remains, so jealousy is unnecessary, jealousy is poison, stay away from it. β
"I'm a little too pessimistic when I say this, and in the end, I may not be the only one left, maybe there is love, because some people say that love lasts forever, and I am not a master when it comes to love...... The advice I can give is not to play with other people's feelings, and not to associate with people who play with your feelings, and as for the feelings that have been lost, do not give up on the old in love, and it is not a virtue to remember the old in love. β
"Speaking of love, I think of concerts again...... Don't laugh, be serious! β¦β¦ Love is eternal, friendship is a friend of life and death, maybe in the end, it is not your lover who accompanies you, but a friend who accompanies you, so after graduation, even if you are thousands of miles away, even if you are busy with work, you must work hard to fill the gap between geography and life, and contact friends more......" Fang Xiao paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Maybe one day you wake up in the middle of the night and find that it turns out that whoever is true love." β
The rhetoric full of sentiment made the audience burst into laughter.
"Of course, the most likely thing that will accompany us through our lives is family affection, so spend more time with our parents, because decades later, we will also look forward to someone to accompany us more."
"Hey! I talked about the clichΓ© things like love and family friendship again, I'm really sorry, I was too high here that night, and now I'm a little dizzy when I revisit ......the old place."
As soon as this statement came out, the following "Open again!" "One more time!" The shouts came and went.
"Music is just coffee, it can refresh you, but it can't fill your stomach, the graduation certificate is what keeps you fed and warm, it is more important than concert tickets......" Fang Xiao raised his hand to signal quiet, and Zhengse said: "Let me give you a really useful piece of advice below, please remember it, because it is really useful." β
He lifted his hat and said word by word: "Don't read fashion magazines, they will only make you feel ugly, don't read gossip news, they will only make you feel that you have a low IQ." β
The audience laughed.
"When the sun is shining, remember to wear some sunscreen, that's my most reliable advice." In the midst of laughter, Fang Xiao took out the sunscreen again, raised it, and then bowed down for a curtain call: "Thank you, thank you." β
The applause resounded through the audience like a concert that night and lasted for a long time.
"Fang Xiao's eloquence is really good, it is also a clichΓ©, and what he said is much more interesting than the principal."
"Not only is it funny, but he also advertises his songs and eye&me, which is really good at taking advantage of the occasion."
"Fang Xiao didn't mention eye&me."
He said that if you look at the current photos in 20 years, Fang Xiao + photos, what is the first impression that comes to mind? It must be eye&me. β
"Damn, as soon as you say it, I realized that before I knew it, eye&me was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."
"So Huang Zongqing wants to invest in it."
"I think this will be a classic speech, although the length is a little smaller, but there are very few people in China who can speak, Fang Xiao still impromptu off-script speech, unconventional, very interesting."
"Fang Xiao may become the spiritual mentor of the post-90s." For mobile phone users, please go to m.. Read.
ps: Thank you to Huang Gexian for pointing out the mistake......
Recommend a friend's book, "Game Development Giant", the title of the book has already named the content, so there is no need to introduce more, the author is serious, and has dry goods and ideas......
The speech in this chapter is a reference to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Mary Schmich's speech "Wearing Sunscreen......
