However, just as Shi Wan was about to start her speech, she put the manuscript aside. Different from her usual practice of reading from the script, she was about to deliver brand - new words without a single bit of redundancy.
As time went by, her speech roused the students' passion. Their blood seemed to be boiling.
Their youth shouldn't be like this. They should shine brighter under the sun.
They were no worse than anyone else. They also had their own advantages.
Shi Wan's words inspired the students. In just a short while, the students who had been bowing their heads to play with their phones couldn't help but look up at the girl on the stage.
Shi Wan's speech was short. She stepped down after just a few sentences, but everyone was still lost in her words, unable to snap out of it.
Sure enough, Shi Wan was amazing!
"Classmate Shi Wan, why didn't you read from the manuscript? We spent a long time writing it."
As soon as she stepped down, before the principal could say anything, the teacher who had been there earlier couldn't help but speak up.
"Teacher, I think what the students need varies every year. Instead of making them listen to words they've already memorized, it's better to present something they can better accept."
"What do you mean by that? This manuscript was prepared in advance. It can better motivate the students. It's not like what you said. Look at your speech. The students were all so quiet. I'm afraid they were daydreaming, right?"
"Alright, aren't you going to give a speech? Hurry up."
Another teacher noticed the principal's unpleasant expression and whispered a reminder.
The teacher rolled her eyes and confidently walked onto the stage with the manuscript in hand.
"Wanwan, don't take what she said to heart."
"It's okay." Shi Wan didn't care at all. "Principal, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
The teacher's speech continued, but the students didn't seem to be in the right state.
The teacher's face darkened, and her voice grew louder.
However, the students still showed no reaction.
"Students—"
"Shi Wan!"
At the same time, several students in the audience suddenly shouted Shi Wan's name, unable to hide their excitement.
"We will definitely work hard! We will shine in our own fields!"
Many students stood up at the same time and shouted loudly.
It was what Shi Wan had said. They shouldn't belittle themselves. They should learn to shine in the fields they were good at and didn't need to compare with others in the fields they weren't good at.
They had their own advantages. They should work hard in this regard and release their youth!
Shi Wan paused for a moment, the corners of her bright red lips curving slightly, then she walked out of the school.
The teacher on the stage was extremely angry. It seemed that all her words had fallen on deaf ears, while the students were still immersed in Shi Wan's speech.
What did all her words mean then?
Was she just slapping herself in the face?
...
Shengshi Financial Group.
"Has Song Qing met Shen Zhengxu?"
After signing his name on the last document, Shen Siyan looked up at the lazy man on the sofa.
"Of course. I sent someone there myself." Wenren Jin was still swiping on Douyin. "You knew he was on good terms with Shen Zhengxu. Why did you do this? Isn't this just inviting trouble?"
"That's exactly what I want."
"Why?"
"I showed some clues when dealing with Shen Tianhong before. Shen Zhengxu is much more scheming than Shen Tianhong. He will be extremely vigilant at the slightest sign of something wrong. It will be very difficult to catch him again."
Wenren Jin rarely looked serious. "I understand."
"And about my parents' matter..."
"Still no leads." Wenren Jin frowned. "It really seems like an accident back then."
"Keep investigating."
"Okay."
"By the way, the little madam said she wanted to plant a batch of phoenix trees in the yard. Go and make the preparations. Also, deal with those who want to harm the little madam secretly."
Wenren Jin groaned. "Shouldn't you assign these tasks to Feng Tong?"
"He has more important things to do."
He asked out of curiosity, "Is it also about the little sister - in - law?"
The man nodded, his eyes never leaving the documents.
"... She'll end up riding on your head one day."
"I'd be happy about it."
Wenren Jin murmured a curse under his breath and turned to leave.
What a hen - pecked husband!
Shen Siyan ignored him. Looking at the time, he thought it was about time. He got up. It was time to pick up the little madam.
"Wanwan!"
As soon as Shi Wan walked out, the principal, who should have been in the venue, followed her out.
"Principal, what's up?"
"Thank you for what happened today. Don't take the teacher's words to heart. With your achievements, it's inevitable that some people will be jealous. Just be yourself."
"I know. Thank you, Principal." After a pause, she said, "Principal, there's a student named Zheng Zhi in the school. I hope you can take more care of her and keep an eye on her."
"No problem. But if I have any problems in the future, you have to come and help."
The principal took the opportunity to make a request.
As soon as Shi Wan nodded, the principal immediately said, "Great. There's a piano competition here. I need you to go."
Shi Wan: "..."
"You said so yourself."
"... Can I take it back?"
"No."
"Send me the time. But you have to take care of Zheng Zhi. It doesn't need to be too obvious. Just make sure she won't be wronged at school."
"Of course." The principal suddenly remembered something. "The Zheng Zhi you mentioned, isn't she the female student who's often with you?"
"Yeah."
"That's great. She's going to receive an award today. Why don't you go and have a look?"
She checked the time. There was still some time before the time she had agreed with Shen Siyan. So she followed the principal back.
No one had expected Shi Wan to come back. If it weren't for the public occasion and the teacher still speaking on the stage, they would have rushed up to express their admiration.
Zheng Zhi, sitting next to Xie Zhe, was also surprised. "Wanwan, why did you come back?"
"I heard you're going to receive an award. Why didn't you tell me?"
Zheng Zhi smiled shyly. "You've seen everything. What's there to show off?"
"I really haven't seen this before."
"Huh?"
Shi Wan thought carefully. "It's true. I've never been in this situation."
"... You're so outstanding. How could they not give you an award?"
"That's not it. I've never been to school much. Whenever there were awards or other activities, they would just send them to my home. My grandma used to collect those things."
Zheng Zhi and Xie Zhe: "..."
Thanks, we're offended.
The people eavesdropping nearby: "..."
Sure enough, a big shot is a big shot.
Although it was the truth, it was really infuriating to them.
"Wanwan, be careful when you go home tonight. Watch out for assassins."
"I've learned some taekwondo."
Everyone: "..."
They were really impressed.
It seemed that she was here to enjoy life, while they were here to suffer.
Soon it was the award - giving session. Under everyone's gaze, Zheng Zhi was a bit nervous. Xie Zhe comforted her on the side.
One name after another was called, but Zheng Zhi's name wasn't among them. Even the last name was called, and still there was no sign of hers.
