Chapter 425 I'm looking forward to this kind of life...
Tan Chen did not feel nervous about such a scene. When he was in the army, he had been interviewed by TV stations and newspapers after returning from a mission with meritorious service. However, the interviews were arranged at a specific time and place, and what he said was prepared in advance.
But today was different. Things happened suddenly and he was not prepared at all.
Tan Chen calmly waved to the reporters.
"Can everyone take their questions one by one?"
Anyway, Xiangnan has pushed him out, so he has to deal with the current situation.
Xiangnan saw this and came up to help: "Student Tan Chen is right, let's ask them one by one, some order is best."
The reporters were a little anxious because they were too excited to see Tan Chen, but after hearing what the two said, they all calmed down.
The reporter from Beihe Provincial TV Station was the first to speak to Xiang Nan, "Director Xiang, is it possible for me to borrow your conference room?"
Xiangnan had originally meant the same thing, so he pointed to the next room and said, "The conference room is right here. Everyone can come in together."
Xiang Nan and Tan Chen walked in only after a group of reporters entered the conference room.
Meeting rooms in the 1970s were different from modern ones. They did not have large conference tables, but were like classrooms, with a few seats in the front and the rest were long chairs arranged in rows.
The reporters sat consciously on the long chairs below, while Xiangnan and Tan Chen sat on the upper chairs.
If Shang Ruoting saw this scene, she would definitely think of some press conferences she saw on TV in later generations. It looked very similar.
Tan Chen sat down confidently and Xiangnan spoke first.
"Please feel free to ask anything you want to ask!"
A reporter stood up and asked, "Tan Chen, how did you achieve such good grades?"
The previous topic was brought up again, and Tan Chen sorted out his answer, "When I was in the army, I taught myself high school courses. Later, when I returned to Sihe Village, I met several teachers and received their guidance."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiang Nan beside him and said, "Director Xiang is one of those teachers."
Xiangnan was a little amused and helpless. He had just been pestered by those people with all kinds of questions and couldn't get away. He finally waited for Tan Chen, his savior, to come, but they kicked the ball back to him.
Seeing the reporters staring at him, Xiangnan had no choice but to explain.
“When we were in Sihe Village, Tan Chen and his wife helped us a lot, and we had nothing to repay them with, so we could only teach them the knowledge we had in return.
Of course, Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting's success is inseparable from their own wisdom and hard work."
I saw the reporters below carefully recording what the two said, and some were taking pictures of them.
Then, a reporter asked, "Tan Chen, can you tell us about your experience taking the college entrance examination?"
Tan Chen pursed his lips, as if thinking.
"The resumption of the national college entrance examination is a great opportunity for all candidates, including me.
I once taught myself high school courses just to enrich my knowledge, but being able to take the college entrance examination is not the same. If I succeed, it may be a turning point in my life. I am also an ordinary person and don’t understand any big principles. I only know that learning never ends!
There will be more knowledge waiting for us to learn in the future, and I am looking forward to such a life..."
Wow...
Applause breaks out!
There was also a loud cheer coming from the door.
"Well said, I'm looking forward to seeing your college life!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man with gray hair walking in, followed by a young man.
The man wore a pair of black-framed glasses and a khaki woolen coat, and looked to be in his twenties.
Many people stood up respectfully when they saw the newcomers: "Hello, Governor Luo!"
Governor Luo smiled warmly and waved at the crowd, "Hahahaha...Everyone, please sit down and continue your work. I came here just to see the top scorer in the college entrance examination in our Beihe Province."
Tan Chen did not expect that his wife, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, would attract the provincial governor. This shows how much importance the country attaches to this college entrance examination.
He and Xiangnan also stood up. Xiangnan took the lead and asked Governor Luo to sit in the main seat.
Governor Luo looked at Tan Chen with a smile and asked, "Who is this?"
Xiangnan respectfully introduced, "Governor Luo, this is Tan Chen, the third-placed student in the Beihe Province college entrance examination, and the lover of the top scorer, Shang Ruoting."
Governor Luo raised his eyebrows, his smile widening again. "Oh? Your whole family actually made it into the top ten?"
"It's so rare, a couple can make progress together."
As he spoke, Governor Luo glanced around and asked, "Where is our number one scholar?"
