Volume 1: The Twin Towers Chapter 48: College Entrance Examination Mobilization Meeting
Because in recent times, Lu Yao has become a well-known figure in the school, especially among some students whose families are not very wealthy like him.
A poor child who grew up in a single-parent family, through years of unremitting efforts, was finally admitted to the first high school in Shuangta City with the first score in the city in the high school entrance examination.
Later, because of illness, moving and other reasons, his academic performance took a sharp turn for the worse, and he became a wound in people's mouths, and he originally thought that he would take the college entrance examination in such obscurity, and barely mix until he graduated from an unknown university.
However, a few people can think that when the college entrance examination was approaching, that is, in the last Xinlu Provincial High School Sprint Exam, Lu Yao made a strong comeback, entered the top three in the city in one fell swoop, and snatched the originally unattainable guarantee quota from Chu Minghui's hands, and even played well in the basketball game a few days ago, turned the tide, and defeated Tang Fa, a sports special student with a professional basketball background, in one fell swoop, and won the final championship trophy.
What's more, there have been rumors on many occasions that Lin Jiayi, the school flower-level beauty "Ice Beauty", also secretly promised her, but she has not yet received Lu Yao's consent.
Although some people who know the inside story know that there are a lot of exaggerations in the rumors, no one can deny that the genius boy who was about to fade out of people's sight has once again returned to people's sight, attracting the attention of many teachers and schools.
Therefore, when there were still 30 days before the college entrance examination, President Hu asked Yang Linchi to "invite" Lu Yao to his office, hoping that he could speak at the conference as a student representative of the college entrance examination mobilization meeting.
Lu Yao originally wanted to shirk it, but seeing the happy smile on the face of the head teacher Yang Linchi, he finally agreed.
Lu Yao knew that over the years, Mr. Yang had borne a lot of teachers' gossip for himself, and some people even said that the reason why Yang Linchi was able to be promoted from a junior high school to a high-level hall like the No. 1 High School in Shuangta City was entirely due to Lu Yao's former glory, and later after Lu Yao lost his aura in the past, Yang Linchi resolutely chose to support him, but it was just a fool's dream and fantasizing about Dongshan again.
Now Lu Yao feels that this speech is not only about himself, but also about the important matter of correcting Mr. Yang's name, and he wants to make those who once saw them clear shut up their foul mouths.
After making up his mind, Lu Yao thought back on his first eighteen years of life, sorted out his experience, and prepared a speech of thousands of words.
The college entrance examination mobilization meeting is scheduled for Friday morning this week, that is, when there are 28 days before the college entrance examination.
On this morning, the drizzle was like silk, and it kept falling, and all kinds of umbrella flowers bloomed on the playground of the entire Twin Towers No. 1 Middle School, merging into a sea of flowers in the rain.
After Principal Hu and Director Li delivered a passionate mobilization speech, Lu Yao, as a student representative, wore his white-washed school uniform, and slowly got to the rostrum in the morning under the gaze of thousands of students to start his speech.
"Students, good morning, it's a pleasure to be able to stand here today as a student representative to speak, in fact, I know that many of you know me through the last exam and the basketball game two days ago, and even some people may not know me, it doesn't matter, I want to introduce myself to you here again, my name is Lu Yao, I was born in a so-called "poor family" in everyone's mouth, in fact, to be honest, I can't even call it a poor family, because our poor family really doesn't even have a decent door. ”
"I am an orphan, I was taken in by a kind godfather to continue my life, my elementary school and junior high school are spent in day and night study, so I have experienced flowers in the high school entrance examination, and I have enjoyed applause, but since entering high school, because of my physical reasons, I have to desperately earn money to raise my surgery expenses, at the same time, my grades plummeted, from the first place to the twentieth place, I also lost, I also hesitated, but in the end I have always loved me, With the encouragement of my godfather who helped me and teachers like my homeroom teacher, Ms. Yang, I stood up again. ”
"Today when there are still 28 days before the college entrance examination, I stand here to say these words, not to show off anything, I want you to think how powerful I am, I just want to tell you through a chat, heart-to-heart way that all the success in the world, all wealth begins with a belief, from the persistence and dreams in our hearts, the reason why I can stand here is because I have the belief of winning, I know that as long as the college entrance examination can change the fate of people like me."
"Someone once said, why failure cases abound, but the road to success is not crowded, I want to tell you, it is because on the road to success, there is no target person, lost a group; People with a bad mentality have fallen ill in a batch; Rumors spread and scared a group to death; I don't know how to be grateful, and a batch of ...... disappears"
Although Lu Yao's speech caused a burst of laughter from time to time, it was more silent, because Lu Yao spoke the hearts of many people, and it was not until he waited for two minutes after the final speech that the audience remembered the thunderous applause.
This speech, Lu Yao is not only for the younger students in the audience, but also for himself, because Lu Yao wants to take the opportunity of this speech to tell the words that have been backlogged in his heart for many years, he needs to be released, he needs to be a true self from now on, he will no longer live for the face of some people, and will no longer blindly tolerate and condone some people.
This is also why he chose a more shocking riding dunk to fight back against Tang Fa at the last moment of the last basketball game, and even Chu Minghui's provocation behind Tang Fa.
……
……
"Lu Yao, what you said is really amazing, I was a little moved by you to cry!" On the way to the classroom, as a good friend, Han Dong put one hand on Lu Yao's shoulder and said exaggeratedly.
In fact, Han Dong did this not purely for jokes, but he could see that since Lu Yao stepped down from the podium, the whole person seemed a little unhappy, so he chose this way to make Lu Yao happy.
"Thank you, Han Dong, the college entrance examination is coming soon, have you ever thought about where to go to the university?" Lu Yao was indeed in a much better mood when Han Dong said this, but when he thought that the two of them would have to go their separate ways after the college entrance examination, he was still very emotional.
"Of course I've thought about it, but I'm not as good as you, I can't go to the Yenching University of my dreams, I can only see if Xijing University can be admitted, if I can be admitted, it's pretty good." Han Dong said with a little sadness: "My father has a project in Xijing that is about to start, if I can be admitted to Xijing University by then, our whole family should move over, and then we can be reunited as a family, and we will no longer have to live apart like now!" ”
Lu Yao has never seen Han Dong's father for so many years, he only knows that his father is in the jewelry business, and the business is doing quite well, but a businessman like him is always running around all year round to make money, and he has no time to spend with his family.
And his mother is a full-time housewife, who has been with Han Dong and her grandfather to take care of their daily life, so the family has been separated for a long time.
Lu Yao didn't tell Han Dong that he was going to be admitted to Xijing University, because he didn't want to make the whole city know, so it was estimated that he would be called by the principal and Teacher Yang to talk again.
Because, at present, several universities in Yenjing are very interested in Lu Yao, since the last time the guaranteed quota was determined, a teacher from the admissions office of the Yenjing Education Department came to find Lin Jiayi, Dong Xiao and Lu Yao, among which Lu Yao left a very good impression on that teacher, so many people think that Lu Yao will definitely be admitted to a well-known university in Yenjing.
After the speech, Lu Yaode's mood was not very high throughout the afternoon, and several times Han Dong asked him to go out for a walk, but he refused.
After school, Lu Yao neither went home directly, nor did he go to the martial arts gym to train, so he walked on the street alone.
Looking at the hurried passers-by on the street, Lu Yao felt that he was both pitiful and lucky in the first half of his life.
It's a pity that I didn't even know who my biological parents were, so I was abandoned.
Fortunately, I met Lu Yiqian, the kindest kind-hearted person in the world, who took him in, cultivated himself, and worked hard for many months in order to operate on himself, and left any good things for himself as soon as possible.
"Ah, help, robbery!" Suddenly, a scream interrupted Lu Yao's musings.
Lu Yao looked up, only to see a young man dressed well and wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, dragging the white handbag in the hand of a fashionably dressed middle-aged woman.
No one expected that they would blatantly rob on the street in broad daylight, so they were deterred by the man's arrogance for a while, and no one dared to come forward to help.
Lu Yao didn't want to care about it, but when he saw the middle-aged woman sitting on the ground crying fiercely, as if she was very pitiful, Lu Yao still chased after her.
Maybe it was the first time for a man to do such a hurtful thing, and he didn't plan his escape route in advance, or maybe he was too unlucky to meet Lu Yao, because this area happened to be the edge of the slum where Lu Yao lived before, and seeing the other party enter a dead end, Lu Yao slowed down and began to think about how to deal with this matter.
The man wanted to resist at first, but where was he Lu Yao's opponent, Lu Yao had learned a lot of grappling skills with Wang Ping and them in the martial arts hall during this time, and with a seemingly casual grab, he firmly pinched the man's right wrist holding the white handbag.
"Ah, ah, ah, big brother, let go, my wrist is about to break!" The man was pinched by Lu Yao like this, and immediately let out a scream like killing a pig, begging for mercy again and again.
At this time, the fashionably dressed woman also panted and ran to the two, and after taking a breath, she punched and kicked the man, and grabbed the man's ear when it was over, and it was a 180-degree rotation, and scolded hatefully: "You kill a thousand knives, the old lady cares about your food, housing and you on weekdays, and you still dare to snatch my bag on the street......
"I'm sorry, wife, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore." The man immediately confessed his mistake to the woman.
"Let's go, go home with my mother, and see how I clean you up!" The woman grabbed the man's ear and pulled the other party up from the ground, shouted in her mouth, and said when she passed by Lu Yao: "Thank you, thank you so much today!" ”
Lu Yao also understood it, it turned out to be a matter between the two people, so there was no need to call the police, seeing that the woman was so strong, Lu Yao didn't say anything, just nodded and let them go.
But after they walked a distance, Lu Yao found that the woman had let go of the man's ears, and the man said something to the woman very respectfully, Lu Yao didn't pay attention, but the man was saying something sweet to coax his wife to forgive.
Lu Yao didn't expect anything in return for doing this, and at this time, watching the two leave, he walked slowly towards the mouth of the alley.
