May 15th.
Jiangzhou University.
On this day, the gate of Jiangzhou University was decorated in red. There were many cars and students coming and going.
The 80th anniversary celebration officially started at 10 o'clock in the morning. Li Dong arrived at the university at around 9: 20.
As soon as the shiny black Maybach drove into the gate, a figure stood in front of the car.
Li Dong opened the window and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Bai Su said with a smile, "I'm here to pick you up. Dean Huang and Mr. Fang have reminded me many times that you are an honored guest, and we can't neglect you."
Li Dong said with a smile, "I'm familiar with Jiangzhou University. How can I get lost?"
Bai Su said, "This is etiquette. No matter if you are familiar with me or not, I will definitely be your guide."
Li Dong laughed. Because of the conversation between him and Bai Su, a few more cars drove over from behind.
Li Dong's Maybach was one of a kind in Pingchuan. The people behind him probably recognized Li Dong, so they didn't rush him. Everyone seemed to be relatively calm.
Seeing that there were people waiting behind, Li Dong didn't say anything. He opened the door and said to Bai Su, "Get in!"
Bai Su didn't refuse. She got in the car quickly.
The security guard opened the gate. Bai Su looked inside the car and said, "Go to the No. 3 parking lot. All the other places are full."
Li Dong signaled Tan Yong to drive. Then he asked, "Are there many people?"
"Of course. This time, Jiangzhou University has invited many enterprises and organizations. Since this morning, I alone have received more than ten people. All in all, there are at least a thousand guests this time around. "
Bai Su said, "And those seniors, they usually arrive one or two days in advance. The hotel arranged by the university took three big cars in the morning. If they all drove here, I'm afraid there wouldn't be enough parking spaces in the university."
Li Dong said with a smile, "Looks like they are doing well."
Bai Su glanced at him and rolled her eyes. "Can I take your words as mockery?"
"Although there are many seniors here, there are probably only a few who can compare to you. Especially since you're still a student. The thought of sharing the stage with you later, these seniors would probably want to bury themselves in a hole. "
Li Dong chuckled. "Don't flatter me. I'm thick-skinned. It won't be good if you take it seriously."
Bai Su covered her mouth and chuckled. Tan Yong also drove the car to the third parking area.
When the car was parked, Bai Su looked at Li Dong again, focusing on his arm. She said with slight concern, "I heard you were injured. Are you alright now?"
"It's nothing, it's just a scratch …"
Li Dong said as he opened the door and got out of the car. However, before he could finish his sentence, two figures suddenly rushed out from not far away.
Tan Yong, who got out of the car in advance, quickly went into a state of alert and quickly blocked in front of Li Dong.
Li Dong slightly frowned. At this time, the two people also rushed in front of Tan Yong. The young woman in front took out a black recording pen and said to Li Dong, "Hello, General Manager Li. I'm Hong Hui, a reporter from Jiangbei Youth Daily. Can I have a few minutes of your time?"
Li Dong gestured for Tan Yong to move away and smiled. "Reporter Hong, I'm really sorry. The celebration is about to begin. I'm going to the field now."
Hong Hui didn't give up and hurriedly said, "General Manager Li, I'm going there too. Let's go together. I'll ask you a few questions on the way. It won't take up any of your time. "
Li Dong glanced around. There were cars stopping and people getting out of the cars one after another.
In the distance, there seemed to be a few reporters carrying cameras and cannons rushing over. Li Dong frowned slightly. Then, he relaxed and said with a faint smile, "Let's go together then."
Bai Su, who was beside him, didn't say much. She led the few of them to the field.
It was not easy for Hong Hui to get this opportunity. Naturally, she wouldn't waste it. As she followed Li Dong, she said excitedly, "General Manager Li, I heard that you're going to speak on stage as the representative of Jiangzhou University's students. Is that true?"
Li Dong nodded.
Seeing this, Hong Hui said happily, "Just as I expected! General Manager Li, can I ask if you have any special topic to share with everyone on stage this time? "
Li Dong said with a faint smile, "This is Jiangzhou University's anniversary, not a regular company meeting. Naturally, I'll be talking about things related to the university. There's nothing special."
Hong Hui seemed a little disappointed. Then, she asked, "General Manager Li, I heard that you haven't come to Jiangzhou University for more than a year. Now that you're going to speak on stage as the representative of Jiangzhou University's students, some people say that Jiangzhou University is too utilitarian. What do you think?"
This topic was a little sensitive. Li Dong's footsteps slowed down slightly.
Before he could say anything, Bai Su, who was in front, turned around and said, "Sister reporter, what you said is actually not true. The reason why Li Dong became the representative of Jiangzhou University's students was not because of the university's decision. It was the common choice of all the students of Jiangzhou University! Student Li Dong is a part of Jiangzhou University. He's also the honor of Jiangzhou University. The reason why we chose him to speak on our behalf is because we think he can represent all the students of Jiangzhou University. "
Bai Su's words caught Hong Hui off guard. However, she was not unprepared. As soon as Bai Su finished speaking, Hong Hui continued, "Student, is it true that Mr. Li hasn't come to school for more than a year?"
It was hard to deny it. It would be easy to expose a lie.
Bai Su immediately said, "That's true. However, Jiangzhou University implements the policy of educating everyone without discrimination. Student Li Dong's busy career is also a form of learning. The combination of practice and theory is what Jiangzhou University has always been pursuing. Some people say that the students in our country … "
Bai Su had been working in the student council for more than two years. She had long developed a good eloquence.
Hong Hui could not refute her words with just a few words. Hong Hui wanted to ask more, but Li Dong said, "Reporter Hong, we've arrived. I need to meet my teacher. Let's talk later."
Li Dong had an apologetic look on his face. He nodded at Hong Hui and entered the field directly under Bai Su's lead.
Hong Hui wanted to catch up with him, but she was stopped by the security guard by the fence in the infield.
Many leaders would be coming for Jiangzhou University's 80th anniversary. Everyone had to wear a pass to enter the field.
Bai Su was the receptionist this time. Li Dong also had a pass from the university. Naturally, he had no problem entering the gate. However, Hong Hui and the other reporters could not.
The school anniversary had not started yet. Reporters could not enter for the time being.
…
After shaking off Hong Hui, Li Dong let out a sigh of relief.
Bai Su smiled and said, "Li Dong, you're now enjoying the treatment of a superstar. Reporters will be watching you the moment you go out."
Li Dong shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't have the fortune to enjoy such treatment. I've been having a headache recently. What's the use of these reporters staring at me instead of those superstars?"
After saying that, Li Dong said to Bai Su, "I say, Bai Su, you're quite eloquent. Even the reporters are no match for you."
Bai Su said with a slight smugness, "It's just so-so. Actually, I've already prepared how to answer. Yesterday, Teacher Fang asked me to be in charge of receiving you. I've specially read up on the recent news related to you. I also know what questions these people will ask. In order to be a good guide, I've prepared all night. "
Upon hearing that, Li Dong could not help but laugh. The two of them chatted as they walked. Soon, they reached the backstage resting area of the rostrum.
There weren't many people here, but there weren't few either. Everyone gathered in twos and threes to chat.
After sending Li Dong here, Bai Su went out to continue receiving people. After saying a few words to Li Dong, Bai Su left first.
Although Li Dong did not know many people, he guessed that they should be the more important guests. He saw a few familiar Vice-principals and teachers from various colleges chatting with some people.
As soon as Li Dong entered, he attracted a lot of attention.
Huang Zhigao, who was accompanying a middle-aged man, saw Li Dong and hurriedly said a few words to the middle-aged man. Then, he walked over and said with a smile, "Li Dong, you're finally here."
Li Dong bowed slightly and said, "Dean, I'm not late, am I?"
"Not at all. It's not time yet. Let's do a rehearsal and have a chat. I'll introduce some of your seniors to you. What do you think?"
Li Dong hurriedly said, "I couldn't ask for more!"
Upon hearing that, Huang Zhigao burst into laughter. He led Li Dong to the area where he had been before.
There were about eight or nine people standing there. Huang Zhigao first introduced Li Dong, then introduced Li Dong one by one.
Through the simple introduction, Li Dong knew that these people should be the graduates of the School of Economics and Management who had returned this time.
Most people were not qualified to attend the 80th anniversary celebration of Jiangzhou University. They were also too embarrassed to attend.
In this small group of eight or nine people, there were three executives of well-known companies and three or four independent entrepreneurs. Judging from their behavior, it was definitely not a small event.
Huang Zhigao did not introduce the others, but Li Dong knew one of them.
When shaking hands with him, Li Dong smiled and said, "Chief Chen, you're not a good friend."
The middle-aged man called Chief Chen smiled and said, "Junior Li Dong, just call me senior when we get to school. Calling me Chief Chen is too shameful. As for you not being a good friend, you can't blame me. You're so excellent that as a senior, I'm too embarrassed to be friends with you. "
Li Dong burst into laughter.
Upon hearing that, another female executive asked with a smile, "Junior Li Dong, do you know Old Chen?"
Li Dong smiled bitterly and said, "Chief Chen … Senior Chen and I have a lot of dealings. He's the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau of Pingchuan. How can I not please him?"
Everyone chuckled. The female executive who had just spoken looked at Chief Chen in surprise and said, "Old Chen, weren't you the deputy director of the development zone when we had our last gathering? When did you mention it? "
The director of the development zone was only a deputy director, and a deputy at that.
Pingchuan was a provincial city. The director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau was at least a director, and a department with real power. He was much more powerful than the deputy director of the development zone.
Chief Chen's real name was Chen Jianhao. Upon hearing his classmate's question, he quickly smiled and said, "I was lucky, just lucky. Besides, you're all executives with an annual salary of several million. With my salary of three to four thousand a month, I'm too embarrassed to talk to you about this. I don't want you to say that I'm being unreasonable, right? "
"Hahaha …"
Everyone burst into laughter again.
Li Dong also laughed for a while, but he was a little absent-minded. He looked around but did not see the person he wanted to see the most.
