226 Maverick guts
On the night when Shen Lan and Xu Zhe walked, the two talked a lot, and it had little to do with game projects, entrepreneurship and the like. They talked quite deeply, all about life, ideals and the like, and some of the content even reached an almost philosophical level.
Xu Zhe's knowledge was still impressed by the bright girl, but Shen Lan didn't notice that those in-depth exchanges made Xu Zhe gradually make up his mind.
Then, on the day of the end of the military training, all the first-year high school students stood on the playground and listened to the leader's speech.
Of course, the sophomores and juniors will not be there.
However, Shen Lan's location was right by the window, and the window was facing the direction of the playground, allowing her to see the scene over there, the freshman students standing neatly, and the school leaders on the rostrum by the playground. It's just that limited to the distance, the faces and figures of those people can't be seen clearly, and only the sound released through the microphone can be heard clearly.
This class was in English, and Shen Lan was a little bored listening to it. After all, the knowledge points taught by the teacher are still things she has already mastered.
It wasn't until a word from the host teacher sounded on the playground that she suddenly cheered up.
"The next speaker is the representative of this year's high school freshmen, Xu Zhe!"
Shen Lan couldn't help but turn her head to look out the window. She wondered, what was this guy going to say?
If it's just a regular speech, it's a bit boring.

"Distinguished leaders, instructors, teachers, and students, good afternoon. I am Xu Zhe from the first class of high school, and I am honored to speak here as a student representative. Here, on behalf of all the senior one students, I would like to say to the leaders, instructors and teachers who have worked hard with us these days, thank you for your hard work and thank you for your company in the past six days. β
Xu Zhe stood on the platform of the playground with the microphone, and five school leaders sat behind him. And he didn't take the manuscript, but his demeanor was quite natural. It seems that he has memorized all the contents of the speech.
This made Mr. Liu Shu, who was standing on the side of the rostrum, feel a little relieved. But the next moment, Mr. Liu's expression changed.
Xu Zhe then said: "I know that all of you are good students from various cities in our province, and even from neighboring provinces. Everyone from childhood to adulthood must be accustomed to listening to routine speeches. Well, yes, I'm probably going to say something a little differently from now, and it's different from what I've prepared in advance. β
Not only Mr. Liu, but the faces of the five leaders behind all froze. It's just that the microphone is now in the hands of this kid, and they can't stop it, so they can only wait for what he is going to talk about next.
"Everyone's worldview is very different, everyone is actually different, how can I speak on behalf of you? I was terrified, so I thought about it carefully. The result of thinking is that I should look for common ground, common emotions and feelings in everyone's heads, and then speak honestly. β
"Regarding military training, we have experienced it in the past few days, and military training is very hard. But it helped us hone our will. Because for the next three years of high school, we need to be extraordinarily strong-willed. We are gathered here for our future and to be able to achieve the desired results in the college entrance examination in three years' time. This is no ordinary high school, and we all have enough confidence to stand here. And as long as we continue to maintain this self-confidence, we can also stand on the ideal university campus in three years. β
"But at the end of the day, the only reason we can laugh at military training right now is because it's coming to an end, right?"
Xu Zhe paused when he said this. The students on the playground, although they were still in a neat formation, let out laughter of different sizes.
There are also bold people who are coaxing and shouting loudly: "You say this, don't you go back to your teacher?" β
Xu Zhe smiled: "Maybe, but I accept it." Military training is to temper the will, and the teacher's criticism is also to temper the will. Actually, what I want to say is that willpower is very important. Do you get discouraged in the face of setbacks? Do you lose motivation when you're disappointed? When you are afraid, will you be restrained? Discouragement, loss of motivation, and restraint are the biggest problems. Each of us only lives once, so how can we not regret it? β
The laughter among the students disappeared, but at the beginning of the speech, those who were careless now looked at the rostrum with much more serious eyes.
They didn't necessarily agree with what he said, but since it wasn't the kind of clichΓ© that everyone hated the most, and it was on such an occasion, they couldn't help but listen carefully.
"The unknown is the most frightening thing. In the next three years of high school, we don't know what awaits us, and this unknown scares us. We only know that the next three years will not be easy, and there will be many difficulties waiting for us. Yes, I don't want to talk about the scene, but that's all I can say in the face of some complex personal problems. β
Speaking of this, Xu Zhe took a deep breath and began to seriously play the stalk that only he knew:
"What difficulties we encounter, don't be afraid, face it with a smile, the best way to eliminate fear is to face fear, persistence is victory, come on!"
He figured it out, since he only lives once, let's have fun. It's all about having fun.
Bitcoin account number, company cash flow, and the favor of Jiaotong University, these things are not lying flat capital, but the confidence to let yourself act recklessly.
But in the end, he found it difficult to let go completely. I wanted to shout 'Ollie' because it might feel a little embarrassing.
But when he finished speaking, the students applauded, and the applause was much warmer than the applause after the previous leader's speech.
Xu Zhe turned around and put down the microphone in front of the leaders.
The principal suddenly asked: "Are you the student who won the provincial prize in the high school competition in junior high school and signed a contract with Jiaotong University?" β
Xu Zhe: "That's right. I know that our school can produce students from Tianhua Emperor University every year, and I went to Jiaotong University, and I am still worse than them. β
The headmaster smiled, "They don't have the guts of you. β
Xu Zhe also smiled. But he knows that people are not without guts, but they just don't have their own presumptuous capital.
At this time, Mr. Liu walked over and looked at the expressions of the leaders, and then relaxed a little. Clearly, the principal was not angry, and apparently spoke better than the previous freshman representatives.
In the final analysis, although this kid is presumptuous and does not play cards according to common sense, he still knows how to measure and speaks of more positive content.
The vice principal said, "The military training is over, it's good to relax." But I remembered one more thing. Two days ago, I received a notice that there is a child in our school who is going to participate in the National Science and Technology Innovation Competition, could it be you? β
Xu Zhe: "It's also me, and I've already asked for leave, and I'm going to the imperial capital tomorrow, just for this science and technology innovation competition." β
The vice principal's eyes narrowed: "If you can also win the award for this, can you go to the heavens Emperor Huada?" β
Xu Zhe shook his head: "It's still not good, but it can be sent to Jiaotong University, and it's not a score reduction." In fact, the teachers of Jiao Tong University took the initiative to contact me this time, and they helped me with all the procedures for registration. β
Several school leaders looked at each other and exchanged glances.
The principal smiled: "I kind of understand why you are so bold, hahahaha......"
