Chapter 51: Please invite Xu You to speak on stage

Hu Shucheng couldn't suppress his excitement and gave Xu You a big hug.

"Hey, that's a bit too much."

"Not too much, not too much. If there weren't so many people around, I would have kissed you. Don't get me wrong, just kiss your face."

Xu You curled his lips, and said, "I'm not letting you kiss my face casually ."

When I lived with Hu Shucheng before, I didn’t notice that he had this habit.

"Actually, now that I think about it, it's not good to be admitted without recommendation. Not having a complete high school life will be a regret in life. How about we give up the chance of recommendation and take the college entrance examination together?" Hu Shucheng joked.

"You can, but it's not necessary. But even if I take the college entrance examination normally, I should have no problem getting into Ji University."

According to Xu You's current academic level, if he is given two months at most to review well, it will not be a problem for him to score above 700 in the college entrance examination.

"Alright, stop making trouble. I can't compete with a monster like you. I will try my best to get into Jilin University of Technology in the college entrance examination. At the very least, I will get into Ningjiang University. I will strengthen my foundation and try my best to get into Jihang University. It should be relatively stable. No matter what, I will try my best to meet you in Jijing."

The ten minutes between classes are always short.

Before I knew it, ten minutes had passed.

"The bell rang. I have to go back to the classroom."

Hu Shucheng was a little reluctant, but he had to attend the class no matter what.

"By the way, Lao Hu, I saw you were in such a hurry to go out just now. Is there something urgent you want to do?"

When asked this by Xu You, Hu Shucheng suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Fuck! I forgot to take a shit when I saw you getting excited."

"It's okay. I believe you can endure one more class."

…

On Monday morning, Xu You came to Shengcheng No. 4 Middle School again as agreed with the principal.

Every Monday morning at No. 4 Middle School, a flag-raising ceremony is held as usual.

After the flag-raising ceremony, leaders and student representatives will give speeches.

At 8:15 in the morning, all the students in the school were wearing school uniforms and lined up in the playground.

The red flag rose slowly to the sound of the passionate national anthem.

Xu You saluted the national flag solemnly and sang the national anthem seriously.

At this moment, there was a powerful force that made Xu You's heart surge.

After the national anthem, the principal came to the stage.

After summarizing last week’s situation, the principal announced that four middle school students had won awards in the competition.

"In the just concluded National Middle School Physics Competition and Mathematics Competition, many students from No. 4 Middle School won national and provincial awards."

"Now let's announce the list of winners: Xu You from Class 6, Grade 3! He won the first prize in national physics and mathematics!"

As soon as Xu You's name was mentioned, there was warm applause from the audience.

Because of the occasion, the students did not discuss with each other, but could only express their respect for Xu You with applause and exclamations.

"Hu Shucheng from Class 3, Grade 3! Won the National First Prize in Physics!"

Hu Shucheng also received warm applause from all teachers and students.

Such achievements are enough to make the school proud.

In addition to Xu You and Hu Shucheng, several other students won provincial competition honors.

They also received applause from everyone, but in comparison, they were not as dazzling as Xu You and Hu Shucheng.

"In particular, Xu You ranked first and eighth in mathematics. He was selected into the national training team for both subjects and was admitted to Jida University."

After hearing these words, everyone had a more intuitive understanding of Xu You's achievements.

Whether it was Xu You's impressive ranking or the qualification for admission to Ji University, all the students were envious.

"Now, please invite the student representative, Xu You, to come to the stage and speak!"

Amid the applause of teachers and students throughout the school, Xu You stepped onto the stage.

Xu You looked up and saw more than 3,000 students on the playground.

Suddenly I felt a little nervous.

Before this, Xu You had never spoken publicly in front of so many people.

At most, I have only talked about some topics at the classroom podium.

Fortunately, Xu You went on stage with a speech script.

Don't be so nervous that you don't know what to say.

After trying hard to calm down, Xu You began his speech.

"Dear leaders, teachers, and dear students, good morning."

“It’s an honor to be here today and say something to you all.”

“I am very lucky to have met so many good teachers and helpful friends in my study life.”

“Thank you, President, for your affirmation of me and for giving me such a precious opportunity to speak.”

“Thank you to our homeroom teacher, Ms. Liu Yanli, for your dedication to the entire class.”

“Thank you, Mr. Gao Shang, for your careful guidance.”

"Thank you, Teacher Zhao Shuang, for sticking to your teaching position during your pregnancy."

"Thank you to Hu Shucheng for helping me with my physics experiment. Lu Zhiyao has always been the top student in the grade and is my goal and role model."

“The time for forgiveness is limited, and too many words of gratitude can only remain in the heart.”

Xu You behaved very modestly and politely, expressing his gratitude one by one to those who had helped him in his studies.

"In fact, I study more out of interest and have never thought too much about what the purpose of studying is."

"But I know that without a strong motherland, I would never be able to enjoy such a good learning environment."

"I envy those scientific researchers who are able to work on the front line of scientific research and contribute to the development of the motherland."

"I also admire soldiers. They are the ones who defend our country and are willing to sacrifice their lives for the safety of our country and people."

"I don't want to say anything that sounds like high-sounding rhetoric here."

“I hope each of us can find our own goal and work hard for it.”

“May we all become better.”

"I hope that through our joint efforts, our country will become even stronger."

Amidst the warm applause from all the teachers and students in the school.

Xu You walked down from the stage.

"Huh~ I'm finally done."

The tension didn't end even after Xu You came down from the stage.

Even Xu You's legs were a little weak due to prolonged tension.

But after all, I completed the speech smoothly.

In order to prepare for this speech, Xu You revised it repeatedly, trying his best to express his true thoughts without appearing too "positive".
