The full name of today's closing ceremony is "1998 No. 1 High School Winter Vacation Closing Ceremony and Safety Education Legal Report."
The safety report usually emphasizes the importance of enhancing safety awareness and observing social ethics during the winter vacation. This time, the safety education was personally organized by Ma Weiguo, and the guest invited was Cheng Bin, the current deputy director of the Shanhai City Public Security Bureau, to give a report.
Cheng Bin is also a well-known figure in Shanhai. The news of the cracking of the June 2nd case has also spread among students. Secondly, No. 1 High School is one of the most outstanding senior high schools in Shanhai City. Every year during the holidays, the leaders of the Shanhai City Procuratorate or the Public Security Bureau come to give safety or legal reports. This year, it is Cheng Bin.
When Cheng Ran saw Cheng Bin, he was a little surprised. His family had not received any advance notice of his coming today, but it was not surprising. This kind of thing involved work, so how could Cheng Bin call him in advance to inform him? Secondly, Cheng Bin hated it the most when someone knew that his son was his nephew. Even if he ran into him at school, he would pretend not to know him.
The closing ceremony was held in the playground. There was a row of tables under the banner on the rostrum. School leaders and Cheng Bin sat there. Cheng Bin was sitting at the top, and students were talking quietly below. Cheng Ran felt that Cheng Bin should have seen him at that moment, but did not stay on him. Instead, he listened attentively and talked and laughed with Ma Weiguo.
When almost all the students of the grade had gathered on the playground, the closing ceremony officially began. Ma Weiguo stepped forward to give a speech, giving an overview of the achievements in teaching, the results of subject competitions, and the results in track and field. He then announced the top 30 students in the grade, the total group score ranking of the class, and the first and second place students in the class received certificates respectively.
The first person to be called up was Cheng Ran, followed by Song Shiqiu.
When the two men went up one after the other, the playground below was in an uproar like a tide.
I don’t know who in the crowd shouted first, “Brother Cheng, awesome!” Then there was even louder laughter and booing.
It was Lin Chu who raised his fist and shouted. He was glared back by his class teacher, but among the students around him, he was no less than a hero. Since the rock party, he has been immersed in this image recently.
Seeing the noises on the playground, Song Shiqiu suddenly understood what it meant to have the wind whistling and the Yi River cold. This feeling... was tragic.
Qi Sheng, one of the students, felt happy and gloating... He received a letter of breakup from Jiang Hongshao and died miserably. After that, he was observing Cheng Ran the whole time... Until this moment, when he saw Song Shiqiu's appearance, he secretly thought that he had written a letter to sue him, but he was not a good person in the end. If you, Song Shiqiu, fight with him on the stage, isn't this just asking for trouble
Wang Qi had a gloomy face throughout the whole process, while Tan Qingchuan had a calm expression. This made many faculty members of No. 1 Middle School admire him from the bottom of their hearts. He established his position in the Central Plains without making a fuss. This is a special-grade teacher. The old ones are indeed the best.
What made Wang Qi's face turn pale was that after arriving at school today, Tan Qingchuan handed out grades to Cheng Ran in the classroom and said, "Hurry up, the second place is only thirteen points behind you. So you are regressing... You must correct your attitude next semester."
Tan Qingchuan said this at eight o'clock, and by nine twenty, in just one hour, this sentence had spread throughout the grade and reached his ears.
Damn! This is too bullying.
When Cheng Ran came on stage and caused a stir, Cheng Bin, who had been looking around the playground indifferently, was clearly shining.
In the crowd below the stage, the pretty Qin Xizhen, dressed in casual clothes, raised the corners of her mouth with a faint smile.
Her short career ended with such a scene. She will probably be missed in the future.
…
The certificate with a white background and a yellow frame for first place in the grade was finally awarded to Cheng Ran, and then he stood on the stage. The top 30 students in the grade, with their names called out, came up on stage one by one and stood facing the whole school, just like a giant panda on display.
When the name "Xie Feibai" was read out for the Most Improved Award, Cheng Ran was still a little stunned, and watched Xie Feibai come on stage with a nonchalant look, but in fact he was quite proud of it. After receiving the award, he raised his chin proudly to him, and when he walked to the side, Cheng Ran couldn't help but say, "Is it true that your father didn't use a backdoor?" In return, Xie Feibai glared at him with murderous eyes.
But in fact, from the last few in the grade to the top 300 in the grade, Xie Feibai is indeed qualified to get this certificate. This kid is actually very smart. The reason why he has such a fighting power in this life is probably because of himself...
There is no other way, there is always someone who suppresses him in every way, the "other people's child" in Xie Houming's words. Even his uncle Xie Qian, who stood firmly on his side, has switched sides and rushed to recognize him as his nephew to compete with him... Xie Feibai is a typical example of turning frustration into motivation.
Yang Xia ranked ninth in his grade. Although Yang Xia had good grades in his previous life, he had never reached this level. This can be considered a change for him.
There was a moment when Cheng Ran's mind recalled the distant memories of his old junior high school. In every picture that was tinged with yellowed old paper, it was always like this. After each final exam, when the top dozens of students in the grade went on stage, he could always see Yang Xia on the stage.
Later, Yang Xia went to the No. 1 High School, and Cheng Ran paid a high school selection fee and entered the No. 4 High School. After learning from his mistakes, he devoted himself to study hard. It is hard to say that he was not motivated by Yang Xia.
But now, with the passage of time, Cheng Ran still feels a little ashamed. He had to cheat to stand at the front position on the stage, but the biggest source of his cheating was probably because of the marks from his previous life.
His understanding of knowledge comes from his painful research, and his current attitude towards life comes from his experience of the world he has experienced.
Because I have experienced countless failures, regrets, separations, resentments, and unrequited love... So in this life, what I pursue more is inner calmness and composure.
…
After the closing ceremony, Cheng Bin gave a lecture, legal publicity, and safety education. Finally, the principal Ma Weiguo announced the start time of the school and the holiday.
When everyone returned to the classroom, Tan Qingchuan came over and whispered to Cheng Ran, "Principal Ma asked you to go over there for a moment."
The exit behind the podium in the No. 1 High School playground is the teachers' dormitory building. The students go to the teaching building from the front exit of the playground to arrange their homework and leave school. The school leaders, Cheng Bin and others go out from behind the podium and stand on the road leading to the teachers' dormitory building.
When Cheng Ran went over, Ma Weiguo and a group of school leaders were standing there with Cheng Bin, and the vice-principal and others shook hands with Cheng Bin one by one. Although everyone knew that Ma Weiguo and Cheng Bin were comrades-in-arms, there was no problem with school safety. There were two police stations and a fire station nearby, forming a triangle relationship, which protected the school district in Shanhai City like a rock. The key was to take this opportunity to get in touch with the deputy director of the public security bureau. A public security bureau with a positive relationship with the deputy director was a rare resource.
When Cheng Ran came over, Cheng Bin waved, "Cheng Ran, come here. Principal Ma has something to say to you!"
Ma Weiguo laughed, "What instructions? Cheng Ran is very worry-free!"
Cheng Bin's laughter came from far away, "That's my nephew... I watched him grow up! I used to put him on my neck and he peed all over my neck! Ha, he did well in the exam? Oh... Not good enough. He used to be carefree when playing around, and I urged him to do it. He gradually got better later... But he still needs to be humble and not impatient!"
Listening to Cheng Bin's laughter, Cheng Ran felt that his uncle was indeed a brother just like his father.
And... didn't we agree to pretend not to know each other outside... Why are you acting like you wish everyone in the world knew that I peed on your neck
