Jiang Jiang couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth. She said, why do I always receive some inexplicable hostile looks when I walk on the street recently? When I came to the backstage today, other people also looked at her strangely.
That's why.
Logically speaking, she should have received extra points for winning the global mathematics competition, but she scored full marks, so there was no way she could get extra points, so not many people knew that she won the award.
And these people think she really relies on her looks.
Jiang Jiang found it a little funny.
She really couldn't help laughing.
There were quite a few people in the backstage, so naturally they all heard what the two girls said. No one spoke, and they were all waiting for Jiang Jiangdu to respond.
They wanted to know how Jiang Jiang would react.
But no one expected that Jiang Jiang would suddenly laugh.
Jiang Jiang stood up from his chair and looked up at the two girls. Although they had smiles on their faces, they didn't look very friendly. Instead, there was a sense of oppression.
The two girls inexplicably wanted to take two steps back.
"Are you two seniors talking about me?" Jiang Jiang spoke slowly.
The two girls looked at each other. No one expected Jiang Jiang to react like this.
One of the girls raised her head and pretended to be a cool senior: "I'm talking about you, what's wrong?"
Jiang Jiang shook his head, and the two streaks of bangs on his forehead swayed in the air: "Nothing, I just think what the senior said is quite right, and Dongda has begun to only look at the surface."
The two girls always felt that Jiang Jiang was hiding something in his words, but they couldn't figure out what it was.
She was just about to say something harsh when someone suddenly ran over and asked Jiang Jiang to get ready, as it was Jiang Jiang's turn to take the stage.
Seeing this, the girl had no choice but to hold back what she was going to say. Anyway, even if she didn't say it, someone else would definitely say it. As a representative of the freshmen, Jiang Jiang had already made many people unhappy.
Only after the host announced that the freshman representative would speak next did Jiang Jiang walk out from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.
Warm applause broke out. Although many people looked down on Jiang Jiang as the freshman representative, many people also thought that Jiang Jiang was beautiful and outstanding and were willing to support her.
Jiang Jiangchong smiled slightly and then stood in front of the podium.
Her gaze seemed to have magical power. After she scanned the audience, everyone stopped applauding. The auditorium was silent as everyone waited for Jiang Jiang to speak.
Jiang Jiangqian curled his lips and threw away the speech he had prepared in his mind.
"Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Jiang, a freshman."
The clear and steady female voice reached everyone's ears through the stereo.
"Just now, a senior student in the backstage asked curiously why I was the freshman representative. I think this is also a question that many people here have."
Jiang Jiang's question touched everyone's heart. Yes, there are so many top scorers in Tokyo University, why did Jiang Jiang have to speak in the end?
Everyone held their breath and waited for Jiang Jiang's answer.
But Jiang Jiang didn't continue talking.
"Todai is one of the best universities in the country, with a long cultural heritage and strong faculty. Those who can be admitted to this university are all the best from all over the country. Some of the better ones have made their mark and shined in major national and global competitions, so I am very proud and proud that I was admitted to Todai."
"As for why I am standing here, I actually know it very well, but I can be sure that it is not because I am good-looking."
After Jiang Jiang finished speaking, he pursed his lips and smiled, and the people listening below couldn't help but chuckle along.
"Before the high school entrance exam, the University of Tokyo was a legend to me, so legendary that I thought I would never have the chance to enter it in my lifetime. And two months before the high school entrance exam, my grades were even at the bottom of the class."
Jiang Jiang's words immediately caused a lot of discussion among the students. Jiang Jiang's grades were at the bottom two months before the high school entrance examination? Isn't this a bit exaggerated? However, some people think that Jiang Jiang is not exaggerating. After all, learning depends on talent. It is not difficult for Jiang Jiang to work hard in high school and then be admitted to the University of Tokyo.
"I started working hard one and a half months before the high school entrance exam. I almost forgot to eat and sleep. One and a half months later, I got a perfect score and became the top scorer in the city."
As soon as Jiang Jiang finished speaking, there was an immediate burst of laughter from the audience. In just one and a half months, his grades went from the last in the class to the top with full marks. It was not an easy task, and there were probably not many people in the audience who could achieve that.
"In high school, I participated in math competitions, joined the school piano club, and learned Sanda. For three years, I continued to improve myself. Later, as everyone knows, I was admitted to the University of Tokyo with full marks."
"Except for the comeback in the high school entrance exam, my experience is probably nothing special. Of course, I am not here to brag about how I came back. What I want to say is that learning can change your destiny, which should be the reason why I am standing here now."
Now, everyone present looked at Jiang Jiang solemnly. It was easy for Jiang Jiang to say, but it was so difficult to be excellent all the time. Besides, there were probably only a few people who could get full marks in the middle school entrance examination and the college entrance examination.
"If I hadn't been motivated in the third year of junior high school, I would probably be helping out in the small noodle shop at home now, and I might never see how big the outside world is. So I am grateful to myself, my parents, the school, and this society."
...
Later, Jiang Jiang talked about his ideals and how he would give back to society. His speech was so detailed that no one thought it was just empty talk.
“Finally, I hope we can make progress together during our four years at university! Today, we are proud of the University of Tokyo, and tomorrow, I hope the University of Tokyo will be proud of us!”
As soon as the sonorous and powerful words fell, warm applause echoed throughout the auditorium. Looking at the red faces and yearning eyes of the students below the stage, Jiang Jiang couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Her speech was very successful this time. Now no one in the audience should want to ask why she is standing here.
"What a great sentence! Today I am proud of Dongda, and tomorrow Dongda will be proud of me!"
Amidst thunderous applause from the audience, an old man was supported and walked onto the stage.
Immediately, the applause was replaced by discussions.
"Mr. Wang! This is Mr. Wang!"
"Oh my God, why did we invite him here?"
"Who is this person? The one who is helping him must be our principal!"
"That teacher's name is Wang Zhi. He was the first president of the University of Tokyo. He is estimated to be nearly 100 years old this year."
"But our Dongda is a century-old prestigious school. How could this person be the president of Dongda?"
"We, Dongda, were established on the basis of the National University of China. The former has nothing to do with us!"
"So that's how it is!"
While the students were discussing, some teachers in the front row of the auditorium stood up and paid tribute to the old principal.
Seeing this, the students below quickly stood up as well.
Jiang Jiang didn't know the old man, but he recognized the principal next to him, so he quickly went over and held the old man's other arm.
The old man was not shy and took advantage of the situation to borrow some strength from Jiang Jiang. Then he spoke kindly, "You are Jiang Jiang. I know you."
Jiang Jiang was surprised: "You know me?"
The old man smiled and nodded, without saying how he knew Jiang Jiang. Then he was supported by the principal and walked to the microphone.
Jiang Jiang lowered his head and smiled, without asking any further questions.
When the old principal stood in front of the microphone, the auditorium was silent.
The old principal smiled and said, "Hurry up and sit down. It's not a flag-raising ceremony. Why are you standing?"
Immediately, laughter filled the auditorium.
"Today, I came here uninvited. I wanted to come quietly and leave quietly, but Jiang Jiang's speech just now made me, an old man who is about to die, want to come on stage and say a few words."
"Her speech just now was very immersive and reminded me of my youth. At that time, I was just as high-spirited and ambitious as she was."
…
The old principal, in his old but mellow voice, told stories about his youth. Although the stories were far from this era, all the students listened with great interest.
Jiang Jiang stood aside, listening to the old principal and imagining the scene decades ago through his words.
"When people get old, they like to reminisce about the past. I hope you don't think I'm being too wordy!"
The students below shouted one after another, "Stop talking too much!" The old principal was a good speaker, telling the story in a rhythmic way, and everyone still hadn't heard enough!
The old principal obviously heard the students' calls. The smile on his face deepened, and the wrinkles of time on his face also deepened.
He waved his hands and said, "I won't say any more. I am an old man and I can't say anything more."
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Jiang Jiang: "You, don't be too modest. When I was your age, I wanted everyone to know about my achievements."
Jiang Jiang pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing. It was obvious that the old principal had a good impression of her.
"Not many people can get full marks in the middle school entrance exam and the college entrance exam. As for the math competition, tell people what level it is. As for other situations, I don't know, but I guess, whether it's piano or Sanda, the level should be not bad, right?"
The old principal's words were heard by everyone present through the microphone. Everyone was shocked. Was the old principal speaking for Jiang Jiang? Was she trying to save Jiang Jiang? Was she trying to prove to Jiang Jiang that she was good enough?
Who on earth is Jiang Jiang? She can even let the old principal speak for her.
Even though the old principal said so, everyone only thought whether the old principal knew Jiang Jiang, and did not think that Jiang Jiang himself was capable enough.
After all, Jiang Jiang's experience seemed unremarkable to everyone.
What a lovely old man, Jiang Jiang thought.
Seeing the old man give up the microphone, Jiang Jiang simply stepped forward and stood still, looking at the audience in front of him, with the corners of his mouth raised habitually.
"I have only participated in one major competition, a math competition, and I was the world champion in 2019..."
Before Jiang Jiang finished speaking, there were bursts of exclamations from the audience.
"World champion in math competition? What the hell?"
"How is this possible? She is the world champion."
"19 years? Wasn't she only in the first year of high school at that time? How could she win the world championship in a math competition in the first year of high school?"
"Math competitions are about talent, not age! I remember that the champion in 2019 was indeed very young."
Jiang Jiang continued: "Compared to everyone here, I am indeed far inferior."
As soon as Jiang Jiang finished speaking, someone in the audience shouted, "No, no, no, we are far inferior to them!"
That's the world champion. Even if you don't talk about the championship, just the fact that he can participate in a global competition is enough to show how talented Jiang Jiang is. Even in the University of Tokyo, how many people can win awards in international competitions?
Many people who doubted Jiang Jiang before are now blushing with shame. She really doesn't rely on connections, let alone her looks, she clearly relies on her own strength!
“I think I am excellent only because I work hard enough. I am excellent because I am worthy of my efforts.”
Since the day she got the system, Jiang Jiang has hardly had any rest. During the day, she is unwilling to waste any time, and at night, she will continue to study in the system space.
I felt tired at first, but after getting used to such high-intensity study, I would feel uncomfortable when I didn’t study.
Jiang Jiang felt confident that she was excellent because she worked hard enough, not because she passed the imperial examination and won some award.
The principal, who had been supporting the old principal, also came to the microphone and said, "Every student who is admitted to the University of Tokyo is an excellent student. Some of them may not have won any awards, but for the University of Tokyo, your excellence is not just measured by your award-winning experience. How you behave and how you do things are the criteria for your excellence."
"As far as I know, Jiang Jiang has never been ranked first in exams during her three years at high school. In addition to studying, she also participated in the school's sports meet and achieved excellent results. In addition, she also cultivated her hobbies in her spare time and gave wonderful performances on the stage inside and outside the school."
"As for Jiang Jiang's personality, I've also learned about him. He helped a lot of people during his three years in high school. I heard that the students in your school all call you Brother Jiang? It's a very domineering name."
Facing the principal's gaze, Jiang Jiang smiled generously, but felt a little helpless in her heart. The title of Brother Jiang might continue to follow her.
“The school has taken care of many students with special circumstances, not every one of them. The reason why we finally chose Jiang Jiang as the representative of the freshmen to speak is because he is the only outstanding student who has truly achieved all-round development in morals, intelligence, physique and aesthetics!”
As soon as the principal finished speaking, someone in the audience started applauding, followed by even louder applause for the principal's explanation and for Jiang Jiang's excellence.
Jiang Jiang stood on the stage with a smile that showed neither surprise nor joy. She could bear such applause.
In the crowd, Zhu Tingting's eyes were filled with tears. Her hands were a little sore from hitting the ball non-stop, but she didn't want to stop.
On the stage was her new idol. Even though she had only been a fan for a few days, Zhu Tingting's love for this new idol was more intense than ever before.
Is Wen Di excellent? Of course he is excellent. He has a talent for singing, can compose music, can dance, and has a good personality.
However, these things are ultimately too far away from Zhu Tingting, and Zhu Tingting can only feel how dazzling Wen Di is on the stage.
Unlike now, she knows clearly and truly what kind of person Jiang Jiang is, what Jiang Jiang is like in reality, and what Jiang Jiang is like on stage. No matter which one it is, they are all excellent and can be her role models.
Zhu Tingting has not yet watched Jiang Jiang's film and television works, but regardless of whether the works are good or bad, she has decided to be a fan of Jiang Jiang!
After the principal finished his speech, he helped the old principal and prepared to leave the stage.
Seeing this, Jiang Jiang hurried over and grabbed the old principal's other arm.
The three of them walked off the stage, watched by all the freshmen.
Jiang Jiang sent the old principal to the stage and planned to leave as she had to meet up with her classmates.
But the old principal stopped him and said, "Come, sit for a while, let's talk."
Although he is nearly a hundred years old, the old principal is in good spirits. The speech he just gave on the stage did not make him overly tired.
The front row seats were reserved for school leaders. When a leader who was sitting next to the old principal heard what the old principal said, he stood up and said, "Come on, I'll go talk to Old Lin over there. It's rare to have a younger generation that Old Wang appreciates, so you just sit here and chat with him."
After saying that, the leader walked to the corner without giving Jiang Jiang any chance to regret.
The old principal had already sat down. He patted the seat next to him and said to Jiang Jiang, "Hurry up and sit down. Don't you want to chat with me?"
Jiang Jiang smiled brightly and sat down gracefully next to the old principal.
Although the two are very different in age, there is no generation gap between them. Although the old principal is older, his thinking is not old-fashioned. Although he does not understand some new knowledge, he can quickly accept it after listening.
As for Jiang Jiang, after long-term study and training, her knowledge reserves and insights are very broad, and it is effortless for her to chat with the old principal.
The more they talked, the more wrinkles appeared on the old principal's face, and the more he felt that Jiang Jiang was a treasure!
Jiang Jiang is not only outstanding, but also very mature in mind. Her understanding of things is not superficial and her cognition is very profound, which is completely beyond the reach of someone of her age.
Moreover, Jiang Jiang's words and actions are very proper, and just looking at him makes people feel very comfortable.
The principal next to them was just listening at first, but when he saw that what the two were saying was really interesting, he couldn't help but join in.
Then, everyone in the auditorium saw that the two principals in the front row were having a very pleasant conversation with Jiang Jiang.
When the two senior students who spoke about Jiang Jiang in the backstage saw this scene, they felt their heads buzzing.
They kicked the bricks!
The old principal is old after all. Although I was reluctant to leave, I didn’t have the energy to do so. He had to go back halfway through the welcome party.
Before leaving, he exchanged numbers with Jiang Jiang and asked the principal to take care of Jiang Jiang more at school. It was obvious that he really admired Jiang Jiang.
As soon as the two principals left, Jiang Jiang returned to her seat in the class. As soon as she sat down, her classmates immediately surrounded her and asked her questions.
"Jiang Jiang, are you acquainted with the principal and the old principal? Why do they take such good care of you?"
"Jiang Jiang, are you really the world champion in math competition? That's amazing!"
"Jiang Jiang, were your grades really that bad before?"
"Jiang Jiang, can I call you Brother Jiang? I think this title is so domineering!"
…
Although Jiang Jiang felt helpless in his heart, he appeared humble and polite and answered his classmates' questions one by one.
Seeing that Jiang Jiang remained calm from beginning to end, the students admired him even more. Who could remain calm in the face of so many people's doubts and flattery?
Zhu Tingting's position was relatively forward, and she turned back to look at Jiang Jiang from time to time. At this moment, she wished she was Jiang Jiang's classmate so that she could get closer and talk to Jiang Jiang.
"Jiang Jiang is so amazing, and so beautiful." The girl sitting next to Zhu Tingting sighed.
Zhu Tingting thought, Jiang Jiang must be amazing! Otherwise, how could he be her idol?
It was not until the seniors began to perform on the stage that the people around Jiang Jiang began to disperse.
The seniors put a lot of effort into this welcome party, which can be heard from the enthusiastic applause from the freshmen.
This welcome party was also a rare opportunity for Jiang Jiang to relax. Entering university means the beginning of new challenges, not only in her studies but also in her career, which requires her to work twice as hard.
Jiang Jiang has been under a lot of pressure lately. She is still working on director Song Xiaotie's new script, and she also has to take care of her studies. Once the filming starts, Jiang Jiang will definitely not be able to attend classes regularly, so she must learn all the knowledge in class beforehand.
Fortunately, Jiang Jiang has a system and can give her the best teaching.
After the welcome party ended, Jiang Jiang returned to the dormitory with his classmates.
Zhu Tingting wanted to say a few words to Jiang Jiang, but Jiang Jiang and his group walked too fast. By the time she went out with her heavy photographic equipment, Jiang Jiang had already disappeared.
Although it was a bit discouraging, Zhu Tingting quickly cheered up. She had already got what she wanted, and now all she had to do was publish the information on the Internet.
The next day, before Jiang Jiang's biological clock woke her up, Song Chuci called her.
The voice on the other end of the phone was a little anxious, "Go online and check it out, you're famous!"
Jiang Jiang's mind was full of advanced mathematics and economics at the time. He was confused for a while before opening Weibo.
It’s the most searched topic, with the word “沸” (boiling) at the end.
#Jiang Jiang#
Jiang Jiang was puzzled. He clicked on the hot search term and saw the video hanging high as soon as he entered.
The video played automatically, and Jiang Jiang saw himself speaking in the auditorium yesterday.
The video was quite long and faithfully recorded how Jiang Jiang's speech sparked discussion among the audience and how it made the two new and old principals stand up and speak for her.
Jiang Jiang fast-forwarded through the video, then scrolled through the comments below.
Netizen: Jiang Jiang? The Jiang Jiang who is everlasting? How is that possible?
This comment has been liked more than 10,000 times, and there are also many replies below. Jiang Jiang clicked on it again and saw question marks everywhere.
Jiang Jiang continued to read on. The reviews were pretty good. Most of them expressed shock, with few expressing disbelief. There were also many people praising her for her excellence.
Jiang Jiang read it for a while, then closed his Weibo, got up, walked to the balcony, and called Song Chuci.
The call was quickly picked up, and Jiang Jiang asked, "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Jiang knew about Song Chuci's plan. He planned to announce information about Jiang Jiang when the movie was about to be released. At that time, it would be a very good publicity opportunity for both the movie and Jiang Jiang.
But man proposes, God disposes. He never imagined that Jiang Jiang would go on stage to give a speech as a representative of freshmen, let alone that someone would upload this scene to the Internet. Of course, what he least expected was that this video would become popular.
Although Jiang Jiang has been on the hot search twice, she is at best an 18th-tier actress, so who would pay attention to her? Under normal circumstances, even if someone shoots ten videos related to Jiang Jiang, it will not become popular, let alone be on the hot search.
But somehow, this video became popular and even became one of the hot searches!
"I plan to take this opportunity to promote you. It's already like this, and there's no point in hiding it any longer."
Jiang Jiang nodded: "Well, stir it up a bit more."
It would be best if it could stay on the hot search for a day.
Jiang Jiang knew the rules of the entertainment industry from the first day he entered it: strength is part of success, but traffic is more important. Only with traffic will the "dads" in the entertainment industry come to him.
So she is not at all opposed to hype, not to mention that her situation is completely real and cannot be called hype.
