Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wu Yu had been watching from the moment the flag was raised. He had hoped that something would happen to the leaders and foreign education experts and that the student representative’s speech this morning would be skipped.
However, he was greatly disappointed.
He kept glancing at He Jing, and the more he looked, the more worried he became. However, He Jing’s face remained calm and composed.
It was not until the political and educational director said, “Next, our school’s outstanding student, Student He Jing will come up to deliver a speech.”
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, He Jing stepped out of the group, and the atmosphere became strange.
The political and educational director was afraid that He Jing wouldn’t dare to come up. He took the microphone and said, “Let us welcome Student He Jing and give her a round of applause to encourage her.”
The applause on the field was thunderous, but the more enthusiastic it was, the more there was a sense of mockery in it.
He Jing calmly took the stage and took the microphone from the director. The director heaved a sigh of relief and retreated at the right time. He Jing held the microphone and swept it across the crowd below, without uttering a word for a minute.
The people below had already started to stir. Some were anxious, some were gloating, and some hoped that this damn flag-raising ceremony would end soon…
However, most of them couldn’t cover the voices of the people standing around Xu Bi.
“He Jing is done for. She can’t say anything. If this continues, the teacher will have to step in.”
“I saw Brother Xi just now. Brother Xi was watching from below.”
“As long as this speech doesn’t succeed, even if He Jing damages our school’s image in front of foreign experts, the higher-ups will definitely replace the female host of the promotional MV. At that time, it will be Senior Xu Bi who takes the stage.”
What he said was true. Other than He Jing, who else could be better looking than Xu Bi? They couldn’t just find two ugly people to act in the promotional MV.
Cheng Yi stood below the stage and looked at everything on the stage in amusement.
She didn’t expect He Jing to have such a day.
Another 30 seconds passed, and He Jing still hadn’t spoken. When the director, who was waiting below the stage, saw this situation, he panicked. He quickly went on stage and wanted to urge He Jing to say a few words in the name of testing the microphone.
With so many people watching, it wouldn’t do if she remained silent. The school leader’s expression was already very ugly…
However, he didn’t expect that just as he stepped onto the steps, the person on the stage suddenly spoke. The crisp and cold female voice spread through the microphone, clear and bright, reaching everyone’s ears.
It was a very fluent and pleasant English. Her pronunciation was like a native
European, yet retained the charm of an Asian girl. Every syllable sounded like a radio broadcast playing on a comfortable afternoon, refreshing the heart.
“Good morning students and teachers, In the minute I was silent just now, I wonder what qualifications I have to stand on this stage.”
“In this talented Yin High School, there are many powerful seniors and sisters who are better than me, But I think, what is more important than study is excellent character. It is an honor for me to stand here and express my feelings.”
Her tone was so steady and her voice was so distant, as if she was in an unimportant meeting.
Everyone fell into a state of fantasy and disbelief as they looked at the young lady who was shining brightly on the stage. All of them were stunned and all of them were in awe.
It turned out that the top student was really omnipotent!
Many people who wanted to see He Jing make a fool of herself now felt as if they had been slapped in the face. They wished they could find a place to bury themselves..
