Chapter 314: Coming of Age Ceremony and Swearing-in Ceremony
In fact, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui are all about the same age, just in their early twenties, but each of them has a net worth of tens of millions, far more than the average people of their peers.
Not to mention that they all have military ranks. Their wealth will only increase in the future.
These worldly ones would be fine, but now, they are all third-level transcendents, among the most powerful people on earth.
All of this is because of following Li Xiang. If they had not met Li Xiang, they would now be just ordinary working girls from poor families.
What else is there to be dissatisfied about? Sanniu knows it all. She thinks she can't compete with Jiang Caier or Luo Feifei, but she is also a core member of the team, Xiangge's personal assistant, and is involved in many industries and businesses under Li Xiang. It shouldn't be a problem for her to hold the third, fourth, and fifth positions in the group.
They can now set up their own families. In other words, they have grown strong enough to take control of their own lives. They have become the backbone of their families, so their families no longer urge them to get married or arrange blind dates for them.
No one dares to flirt with them. Even if someone dares to pursue them, they will definitely look down on them and reject them immediately.
If you dare to get involved, you will definitely suffer. Sanniu was originally quite scheming, and now she has gained experience, and now she is in a high position in the company. She has also participated in the operation of besieging and killing alien beasts. She is smart and capable, and she is not a pushover.
Even though Lei Xiaohui might have been relatively innocent before she met Li Xiang, Yao Yao and Zhao Xueqing were never naive.
Li Xiang actually likes this kind of girl who is full of thoughts. As long as she doesn't have bad intentions and behaves well, there is no harm in being a little more thoughtful. She has a higher chance of surviving in the end times and can achieve more.
In addition, they have strong ability to handle affairs and high management level.
Under their management, Yongye Media's live streaming sales of goods (tea, red wine, jade, mountain specialties), several stores in the scenic area, the operation and management of the scenic area, and the progress tracking of the shelter project, etc. are all in good order. Many employees are also obedient. Even Jiang Caier and Luo Feifei get along well with them. This is one of the reasons why Li Xiang gave them shares.
The ancients said that the talents of a county are enough to govern a country, and Yao Yao and others are such outstanding people.
Li Xiang had been out there for so long that he decided not to go out for a while after he came back. He practiced every day and was busy with various mundane affairs.
The good news is that Zhang Youyou is pregnant. After Li Xiang learned about it, he called Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou to express his congratulations.
Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui and Zhang Youyou also had a good relationship, so they drove over together, bought gifts and visited the pregnant woman.
When they came back, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui kept stealing glances at Li Xiang.
Li Xiang felt something, but ignored it.
His first time must be given to Jiang Caier, and his first child must also be Jiang Caier's.
After returning, Li Xiang visited another "pregnant woman", Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan's belly is getting bigger and bigger, especially since she is carrying triplets and has good food on weekdays, so her belly is much bigger than that of other panda mothers. However, after such a long pregnancy, there is still no sign of delivery, which amazes the villagers and experts from the provincial expert group.
Li Xiang went over at night and secretly used his spiritual power to check it. Everything was normal, so he just left it alone and let nature take its course.
It is highly likely that these triplets have extraordinary potential, so it is not surprising that the pregnancy time is a bit longer. Nezha even stayed in his mother's womb for three full years.
…
Time flies, and it is mid-May, and the college entrance examination is getting closer and closer.
The golden sunlight flows through the branches of the camphor trees at the No. 1 Middle School in the county, weaving a mottled golden net on the red and white plastic track.
On the playground of the county’s No. 1 Middle School, the coming-of-age ceremony and college entrance examination oath-taking ceremony for senior high school students are being held.
On both sides of the rostrum, the flamboyant trees were in full bloom, and their petals fluttered in the wind onto the hanging gilded banners - "At eighteen, I aspired to carry on my family and country, and at a hundred days, I competed in the race to stand on Kunlun Mountain."
On weekdays, the school is under closed management, but on this special day, it was opened to the public. Not only did it invite many county leaders and media, but it also invited some students' parents to come in and watch the ceremony.
As the biggest internet celebrity in the county, Li Xiang is also a member of the county CPPCC, holds the military rank of lieutenant colonel, and has donated six million yuan to the county's No. 1 Middle School. Naturally, he was also among the invited guests and had a seat in the guest box.
Jiang Jianguo and Aunt Jiang naturally came as well, following Li Xiang's car.
Since Li Xiang and Jiang Caier have not officially got engaged, Li Xiang cannot attend as a family member. The news of the engagement after the college entrance examination is still kept secret. If it is released at this time, not only the fans, but also the whole school will explode, and the principal will jump out to express his objection. It's nothing else, because he is afraid of affecting Jiang Caier's exam.
The college entrance examination is not the only way to go to college, but for a middle school in a backward area like the County No. 1 Middle School, other channels are basically not accessible or not eligible.
Jiang Caier always ranks first in every exam. If it is a province-wide joint examination, she will undoubtedly be first in the province. The whole school treats her like a treasure and I don’t know how much they value her.
There were a few poor students who wanted to take advantage of Jiang Caier and even colluded with a yellow-haired guy outside the school. Jiang Caier didn't need to do anything. When the school found out, they immediately expelled those students. As for the yellow-haired guy outside the school, he was also detained by the police and given a severe lesson.
This is the treatment of a top student. When serving food in the cafeteria, the aunt would always give Jiang Caier more, and would pick out the best meat.
Some teachers even suggested setting up a special dining area for top students like Jiang Caier, but considering that many parents are sensitive and we live in an internet society, they were afraid of bad influence and so gave up the idea.
Li Xiang communicated with the school and obtained the permission to broadcast live and record videos. He also brought Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui, Lei Xiaonan and others to take charge of this matter.
In addition, the invited media and the school’s own official accounts were also broadcasting live.
The coming-of-age ceremony is full of ceremony, and the first step is to "change clothes and straighten the hat."
As the oath-taker, Jiang Caier was the first to take the plain gauze gown from the dean.
This is specially made for the whole school and sponsored by Li Xiang's team. The school motto "Study things and acquire knowledge" is also engraved on the white jade belt buckle.
After the clothes were distributed, all the students put them on on the spot. Although the weather was a bit hot, it could not stop the passion in the students' hearts - they were finally going to become adults.
The students were divided into groups of two, and each wore a bronze ginkgo leaf brooch. These brooches were condensed by Li Xiang using crystal vein weapons. They were not extraordinary items, but they were extremely exquisitely made and the patterns were clearly visible.
Then comes "passing through Lingxing Gate".
Eight veteran teachers from the teaching department stood on both sides of the Lingxing Gate, which was modeled after the Confucius Temple. They held rulers and tapped students on the shoulders: "Those who pass this gate should know to fear the will of heaven, the elders, and the words of the saints."
Three of the old teachers had retired many years ago, but they were invited again this time. The three white-haired old teachers were also very excited. After all, this ceremony had never been held before, and this year was the first time for the county’s No. 1 Middle School.
When a classmate reached the third door, "Five Years of College Entrance Examination and Three Years of Simulation" accidentally fell from his sleeve. Oh my god, people nearby were shocked and thought to themselves, he is really working hard to review with simulation questions at this time.
In fact, it was not just this student. Many people secretly brought notes with them. Because the ceremony was very long and there was also a swearing-in ceremony, there was definitely plenty of time to study secretly.
The college entrance examination is coming soon, so it is better to sharpen your sword before the battle.
Jiang Caier didn't bring anything.
Well, if she did, it was that there were several drones in the sky that she had flown.
There were too many drones at the scene, and the ones she used secretly filmed were inconspicuous. Multitasking is a basic skill.
Afterwards, there are other activities such as "washing hands and washing hands", "applying cinnabar", "beating drums to express aspirations", and "parents giving gifts".
This was followed by a swearing-in ceremony, where leaders at all levels, school leaders, some teachers and student representatives spoke.
As the top student, Jiang Caier was naturally the first student representative to speak on stage.
Since his young fiancée was going to show her face on stage, Li Xiang naturally had to give her a close-up.
Close-up shots. Anyway, Jiang Caier doesn’t wear any makeup, but her face is as fair as cream, her smooth face is full of collagen, she looks youthful and has no blemishes at all. She is least afraid of close-up shots.
Li Xiang personally controlled the Hummingbird drone to hover diagonally above the rostrum, and the camera accurately locked onto the morning light dancing on the ends of Jiang Caier's hair. The girl tied her waist-length black hair into a hanging bun, and inserted the mutton-fat jade hairpin given by Li Xiang diagonally. She was tall and graceful, and the lotus pattern on her skirt rippled in the wind when she walked.
"Three years of studying hard to sharpen the sword, today I will try to break the sky with the blade." Jiang Caier tapped the microphone with her fingertips, and her clear voice startled the gray pigeons perched on the eaves, "We are not lonely heroes, everyone is his own Kuafu——"
She suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the southeast corner of the playground. Ten drones took off into the air, dragging a holographic projection of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" which slowly unfolded.
Wow, this kind of scene was unknown to the school before. All the students were excited and secretly thought it was awesome.
As the painting passed over the Senior Grade 3 (1) class formation, the suspended nanoparticles suddenly reorganized into a three-dimensional chemical molecular structure model.
"Just like carbon can form graphite and forge diamonds," Jiang Caier's slender fingers passed through the void, and the graphene lattice refracted rainbows in the sun. "The college entrance examination is nothing more than a topological deformation. The important thing is to maintain a stable mentality like sp hybrid orbitals."
There was a tide of applause, wave after wave.
Originally, everyone thought it was just an ordinary speech, but who could have expected that Jiang Caier would be so creative and put so many fancy tricks into it.
The comments in the live broadcast room on the big screen suddenly surged:
@Physics Class Representative: "Help! The academic genius even uses metaphors to attack!"
@汉服娘: "Why is it that when Jiang Caier wears the same Hanfu, she looks like a fairy, but when I wear it, I just... well, it's hard to describe."
@超级小仙女: "Actually, it's not about the clothes, but the figure and the appearance. For someone like Jiang Caier, even if she just wears a tablecloth, she can beat the Paris fashion show."
@金鲤拥有: "At this moment, I would like to call her the human body of Wenquxing!"
…
Jiang Caier turned around and bowed deeply to the principal, then took the wolf hair brush handed to her by the staff and actually started to paint on the spot.
Everyone wanted to see what she wrote.
The drone camera zooms in for a close-up, showing the ice-cracked celadon bracelet on her wrist and the Huizhou ink shining against each other. The moment the brush tip lands on the gold-sprinkled rice paper, the huge electronic screens on both sides of the rostrum simultaneously display the ink marks: "Swan Chronicles"
The jade feathers are fluttering above the clouds, why would I linger on the weeds and drink the dew? When the day comes when I soar up to the sky and catch the wind, I will let the world return to its clear sky with a new sunshine.
As she finished writing, a breeze blew through the hall, lifting her hair and revealing the pearl earrings Li Xiang had given her. The century-old ginkgo tree in the northwest corner of the playground suddenly moved without wind, and its falling fan-shaped leaves formed the words "top of the list".
Zhao Xueqing was sitting nearby, and it was undoubtedly the masterpiece of her plant-based abilities.
On the big screen, the live broadcast room barrage exploded:
@Calligraphy Association Zhang Lao: "The Slender Gold style is mixed with three points of Madam Wei's style. This level of skill is enough for a solo exhibition!"
@Space Administration Editor: "The third sentence is consistent with the principle of the space station's robotic arm. The academic god is so terrifying!"
@吃货日常: "Am I the only one who noticed that she looked calm while writing? Was she really confident?"
Li Xiang cut the camera to a panoramic view, where eight hundred students on the playground simultaneously raised metal plates engraved with their personal goals.
As the sunlight refracted on the cards to form a waterfall of light, he heard Yao Yao's excited trembling voice in his headphones: "The number of people online has exceeded five million, which is more than the provincial TV station's New Year's Eve party!"
From this live broadcast, Li Xiang made a fortune again.
The barrage continues to refresh the screen:
@Reborn as a Bad Student: "Is it too late to repeat the year now?"
@Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritor: "The lotus pattern is a Suzhou embroidery technique. This skirt is definitely custom-made!"
Only then did everyone realize that the other students' skirts were printed, but only Jiang Caier's was embroidered.
@星座博客主: "Venus conjuncts Mercury retrograde and ends, this poem will definitely be included in the college entrance examination essay topic!"
When Jiang Caier bowed, she suddenly looked towards the drone camera, her eyes curved into a crescent: "Finally, I want to thank the person who has been recording our growth."
"No matter where the future leads us, towards the sea of stars—"
Jiang Caier's clear voice pierced the sky: "We will always remember who taught us to fly."
Li Xiang's handsome face naturally appeared in her mind.
