"What's going on? The city lord actually attended our No. 7 Middle School's send-off ceremony?"
The crowd began to discuss it, some of them finding it hard to believe.
But once the television crew arrived and set up their cameras, everyone knew it was real, and the ceremony might even make the news.
"It's been ten years since something like this last happened, hasn't it?"
Grandpa Xu, who was watching from the sidelines, sighed.
Everyone was quite familiar with the old manager of the physical testing center. A student from Class 110 immediately asked, "Mr. Xu, are you saying that our school has also visited the city lord before?"
"I've been here before, back when the previous city lord was still alive... Hey, you kids probably only know Wang Shuo now, but actually ten years ago, our Jingcheng had a peerless genius, and he was from No. 7 Middle School!"
Grandpa Xu became more talkative and reminisced.
"Is there?"
Many students are quite confused.
Lin Xiaoqian frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Ah, I know, isn't it that senior named Jiang Chengye?"
"Yes, yes, I have a vague impression of him too. He was mentioned in the history of No. 7 Middle School. He seems to be the only genius in the history of No. 7 Middle School who has won the provincial championship in martial arts!"
Zhang Liangwei also remembered something and shouted loudly.
Every class has a few top students, and many more people have remembered this figure who has been recorded in the school's history and has become a historical symbol.
"That's right, it's Jiang Chengye. I even taught him history back then."
An elderly teacher wearing glasses sighed, "Now that you mention it, I remember. The scene back then was quite grand. The city lord himself came to see him off, and Jiang Chengye lived up to expectations, becoming the martial arts champion that year."
"So what happened next? Where did this Senior Jiang go? Why haven't we heard his name since?"
Zhou Xu asked a question that many people were curious about.
"He should have been accepted into the Jiangzhong Military Academy, but then... I don't know what happened after that. It seems he never returned to Jingcheng." The old teacher frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and then shook his head.
After a heated discussion, seeing that no one knew Jiang Chengye's whereabouts and that Jiangzhong Military Academy had long since closed, everyone's attention quickly returned to what was in front of them.
"The city lord will personally see us off?"
"Hey, Shen Qian actually missed such a memorable scene. I'm definitely going to call him later and see if he regrets it..."
As an ordinary high school, No. 7 Middle School has always ranked in the middle in Jingcheng, occasionally rising above others. Today, so many important figures from Jingcheng came to see them off, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.
Let alone students, even teachers have few who can control their facial expressions.
At this moment, the leaders on the stage finished their greetings, and as Chai Haotian sat down and adjusted the microphone, everyone present knew that the ceremony was finally about to officially begin. They all quieted down and looked on with anticipation.
Chai Haotian coughed lightly, about to speak, when suddenly his secretary ran up from below the stage and whispered something in his ear.
Chai Haotian was clearly taken aback. He glanced at the crowd below, then leaned back slightly and remained motionless.
Those around him were puzzled. Huang Tao seemed to ask something in a low voice, and after Chai Haotian's secretary explained a few words, everyone on the stage understood and quieted down, crossing their arms and saying nothing more.
And so, an eerie silence fell over the playground once again.
"Teacher Liu, what are we waiting for?" Lin Xiaojuan asked blankly. "Surely... the Marquis of Jingcheng isn't coming too, is he?"
Liu Simin was unable to answer Lin Xiaojuan's question because she herself felt the same confusion.
At that moment, a figure pushed through the crowd from the outside and entered the playground.
"Excuse me, please let me through... Oh, Mr. Xu, you're here to watch the fun too..."
Liu Simin looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Shen Qian, who had arrived late, was still leisurely greeting acquaintances in the crowd. Her face darkened.
"Sink forward!!"
In her haste, Liu Simin lost control of her voice, which immediately attracted the attention of many people who came to look.
