Chapter 177 Opening Ceremony
The autumn air is crisp and clear, and the morning breeze carries the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms...
In the early morning, Xinghuo University of Science and Technology is filled with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers. Students gather in small groups, some reading aloud from books, others going to the cafeteria for breakfast together.
Gu Yiye took Lin Shanshan to school, then brought her to Li Duomei's place and said, "Shanshan, I'm going to pick up Mom and Wang Zhanbo."
Lin Shanshan nodded: "Go ahead, drive carefully."
Before leaving, Gu Yiye called Li Bing and asked him to stay by Lin Shanshan's side to ensure her absolute safety.
Li Duomei was very curious and asked, "Principal Lin, your husband is always with you, why did he leave you here alone today?"
Lin Shanshan shook her head. She didn't understand either. She could have easily come over while picking up Bai Xue and Wang Zhanbo.
It was 8:30 in the morning, and all the teachers and students had arrived, but Gu Yiye and his group had not yet arrived.
Since it was the first year, and the students and teachers were not very familiar with each other, the opening ceremony omitted speeches by student and teacher representatives. Mr. Deng and Mr. Tong would come after the military training was over; otherwise, they could have taken the stage.
The process was simple. First, Li Duomei, who was hosting the event, gave a speech: "Respected leaders, professors, teachers, and lovely students, welcome to Xinghuo University of Science and Technology."
"Cultivating virtue and broad knowledge, and strengthening the nation through science and technology" is our school motto, and I hope that every student will keep it in mind.
"Next, please welcome Ms. Liang Wanzhou, Vice President of Xinghuo University of Science and Technology, to deliver a welcome speech."
As applause erupted from the teachers and students, Liang Wanzhou walked onto the podium, looked around, and began her speech:
"I've noticed that the ratio of girls to boys in our school is about the same, which is the first time I've seen this since I started working in education."
“In the past, seven or eight out of ten universities were filled with boys. Today, I am very pleased to see so many girls at Xinghuo University of Science and Technology. First of all, in terms of numbers, it has achieved gender equality.”
"I know that many girls have come from afar, and some of you have even staked your entire lives on this place. I want to say that Xinghuo University of Science and Technology will not let you down."
"Whether you are a boy or a girl, as long as you study hard and are willing to work hard and delve into your studies at Xinghuo University of Science and Technology, you will definitely succeed!"
After Liang Wanzhou finished speaking, Li Duomei went on stage to summarize: "Thank you, Principal Liang, for your speech. Women hold up half the sky. I am very grateful to Principal Lin for letting me be her assistant, which has made me more confident and happy."
Listening to Li Duomei's words, the girls in the audience agreed. They had only been at Xinghuo University of Science and Technology for a day or two, but they already felt much more cheerful.
There were no comments about favoring boys over girls, and the teachers here treated boys and girls equally.
The boys were also filled with mixed emotions. The women at Xinghuo University were all so outstanding, and they felt they needed to work even harder.
"Next, please welcome our school's principal, Comrade Lin Shanshan!"
Li Duomei's words were broadcast to the school gate through the loudspeaker. Gu Yiye parked his car, hurriedly picked up the lilies, and ran towards the playground.
Wang Zhanbo ran to catch up, while Bai Xue, wearing high heels, lagged behind at the back of the stage. But she still walked quickly, eager to catch a glimpse of her daughter-in-law.
No one expected that the principal of such a large school would be so young and beautiful. Amid the students' exclamations, Lin Shanshan began her speech.
"Hello everyone, I am Lin Shanshan. Thank you for choosing Xinghuo University of Science and Technology."
"We cannot choose where we are born, nor can we choose our family and living environment, but we can choose the path we take and choose our future."
"Today, you chose Xinghuo University of Science and Technology, perhaps to create a better living environment for yourselves, which is perfectly understandable."
"However, a country is the foundation of a family. The more important purpose of our choice to study is to create value for society, become talents to repay the country, and contribute to the country's development."
"We study hard not to become superior to others, but to ensure that there are no superior people in this world."
"Students who choose to study medicine, your mission is for humanity, to make more diseases curable."
"Students who choose physics, you must remember one sentence."
"Comprehensive national strength determines international status; dignity lies only on the edge of a sword; and truth lies only within the range of cannons."
"Only through science and technology can we build a strong nation. This is the mission of every teacher and student at Xinghuo University of Science and Technology!"
