Chapter 703 Graduation Ceremony (Part 1)

The next day, Shang Ruoting told Tan Chen that Zhao Dongsheng asked him to speak on behalf of the Department of Architecture at the graduation ceremony.

There are still four days left before the graduation ceremony, and Tan Chen took advantage of his free time to write a speech.

On the day of the opening ceremony, all the teachers and students of the school sat in the auditorium, and Zhao Dongsheng was the first to go on stage to give a speech.

The main content is that Kyoto University has lived up to expectations and trained the first batch of university graduates for the country. It is hoped that the students can make more contributions in the future industries.

In addition, we encourage students from freshman to junior year, hoping that they can surpass their teachers and repay society with even better results.

After the applause, some student representatives were invited to the stage to speak.

It can be seen from the representatives' speeches that their speeches were carefully prepared. Not only were the words used appropriately, but they were also very inspiring, giving great inspiration to the younger students.

When Tan Chen took the stage, the applause in the auditorium was particularly enthusiastic, especially from the students of the Department of Architecture.

The person they envy the most is Tan Chen, who is the last disciple selected by Master Ma Jinkun himself. Unfortunately, no matter how hard they try in the future, they will never have such an opportunity again. Master Ma Jinkun has already announced to the public that he is extremely satisfied to have Tan Chen as his little disciple in this life.

Tan Chen's speech was not very long. He just talked about some of his experiences in the construction industry. Finally, he encouraged his younger classmates to continue to work hard and surpass themselves.

Shang Ruoting was the last person to speak on stage.

Among the students at Peking University, there are only those who have not seen Shang Ruoting, but there are no students who have not heard of her.

Three years ago, she developed high-yield winter wheat suitable for cultivation in the environment around Beijing. Two years ago, she successfully developed high-yield corn with Professor Huang. Now, the sweet potatoes can produce up to 10,000 kilograms per mu. No matter which one is taken out, Shang Ruoting has to be said to be a great contributor to the country.

The applause was louder and louder and lasted for a long time, so much so that Shang Ruoting was unable to give her speech while standing in front of the podium.

The students were so enthusiastic that they couldn't stop clapping.

In the end, Zhao Dongsheng ordered all the teachers to go down and maintain order, and the applause gradually stopped.

Shang Ruoting feels honored to be supported by so many people.

Being able to bring the agricultural knowledge she mastered in her previous life to this barren era may be the greatest significance of her time travel.

At this time, Shang Ruoting had completely lost her temper.

He did not even open the stack of speech manuscripts in his hand, but instead gave an impromptu speech.

"I am just an ordinary farmer, but I know that knowledge can change one's destiny. So, I resolutely chose to take the college entrance examination, hoping to become one of the first batch of college students after the restoration of the country..."

Her speech was sonorous and powerful, which livened up the atmosphere of the whole venue. Even Tan Chen, who lived with her day and night, couldn't help but be moved by it.

"Now, I'm about to finish my four years of university and enter society. In the days ahead, I will work even harder to develop more high-yield grain varieties to repay the country for its cultivation of me..."

Wow...

As soon as Shang Ruoting finished speaking, all the students in the auditorium were in an uproar.

Apart from the applause, the students had forgotten the proper discipline and began whispering, all about how excellent Shang Ruoting was and how they must learn from her.

Shang Ruoting was about to step down from the podium when a shocking scene occurred.

Zhao Dongsheng took Tan Chen to the podium and blocked her way.

Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen were somewhat dazed when Zhao Dongsheng brought them to the center of the podium again.

Immediately afterwards, several people holding flowers walked out from the side door of the podium.

Moreover, these were all her acquaintances.

Governor Luo, Director Cui, Xiang Nan, Zhai Shengping, Principal Sun, Xie Yannan, and lastly, Yang Tao.

Several people smiled and handed the flowers in their hands to Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen.

Before the couple could greet the visitor, Zhao Dongsheng spoke.

Introduce the identity of the visitor to the students and teachers present.

Just when everyone was confused about why these people came here, Governor Luo picked up the microphone and started speaking.

"Everyone must be wondering why we, the people from Beihe Province, came here. Now, I will explain it to you."

Governor Luo pointed at Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen.

“Don’t think they are only outstanding in their academic performance; in fact, their contributions to their hometown are even more outstanding.

While working in construction, Tan Chen never forgot his fellow villagers in his hometown. He provided them with another source of income besides farming, turning those originally poor families who could not afford enough food into wealthy households in the local area.

In addition, in addition to developing high-yield grain varieties that benefit the country and the people, Shang Ruoting also led the people of Beihe Province to raise ostriches. Now most farmers in Beihe Province have joined the breeding ranks and their income is extremely considerable.

Here, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen in front of everyone."
