I don't want to be a star, I became popular

Chapter 249 "Speaking of Young China" and "You at the Same Table"

The appeal of traveling around is very strong.

As soon as he stood up, the audience screamed and exclaimed.

But not everyone likes him.

"I don't know what the school's leaders think, but they let Zhou You speak on stage as a youth representative."

"The squad leader's business is booming, isn't it better than him?"

"It's probably for the attention of people."

"It is also now that both middle schools and universities are trying their best to obtain high-quality students. Zhou You is a public figure and can bring some attention to the school."

Blue Star's education system is very different from Earth's.

Earth Elementary School and Junior High School basically follow the principle of "districting" to study nearby.

But in Bluestar,

Education is free.

And the educational resources are sufficient and loose.

Teachers are highly paid, have high social status, are respected, and have a solid job. There are many outstanding talents who are willing to become teachers.

This is very different from the situation on the earth where "you can't choose a better school and major before you go to a normal school".

Before university, the Star Federation guaranteed that every student had books to read.

But if you want to go to a good school, you have to take the "Joint Examination" and select the best for admission.

Or enter a top-ranked school through special recruitment.

Therefore, in order to improve its "college ranking", each school will try every means to improve the quality of teaching, strive for high-quality teacher resources, high-quality students, etc.

Institutions are in a state of "educational competition".

In the eyes of Yu Haoyang, a classmate who is not very familiar with Zhou You, the school asked Zhou You to speak in order to catch people's attention, create popularity, and promote the school!
"In the past, I remember that he could score up to 30 points in the composition test. Although he is famous, his head is empty. What kind of insightful speeches can he make?"

"People are still pretending to be learning."

"Hehe, it's just a show on the show."

"Who would have thought that the oil bottle in the class would actually speak on stage."

"It's kind of ironic."

Yu Haoyang and others were sour.

Shang Mengyi felt very uncomfortable listening, and said: "Are you guys very good? You are so good to speak up? With your virtue, it is very wise for the school not to invite you to speak on stage!"

"Shang Mengyi, why did your elbow turn outward?"

"Hehe, turn outside? It sounds like I know you very well."

Shang Mengyi was very angry.

Ever since Zhou You appeared in the lounge, these people have been acting strangely.

classmate?

These students are so funny!

Liang Jialiang said: "Don't pay attention to them, they are not from the same road."

Wei Lai: "Relying on family connections to do something, I feel that I am number one in the world. This kind of person is boring."

Chu Ci directly chose to ignore Yu Haoyang and others.

At this time Zhou You was already standing on the stage, in front of the microphone stand.

"Respected leaders, teachers, dear classmates, juniors and juniors, I am Zhou You."

"I am honored to stand here today and speak as an outstanding young alumnus."

"Teachers and classmates who are familiar with me know that when I was studying, my grades were very bad..."

Zhou You talked about his experiences and situations in his student days.

To demonstrate my sincerity.

Immediately afterwards, I talked about my own learning experience to work, and then talked about the current situation and opportunities of the times.

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness; it was the spring of hope , this is the winter of disappointment..."

This is a famous line from Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities.

Zhou You took it directly and used it.

After traveling around this section,
The host Qi Wenqing's eyes lit up immediately.

"That's very well said." Qi Wenqing said in her heart.This was the best of times, and it was also the worst of times... She couldn't help but fall into deep thought, chewing slowly.

The more you chew the words, the more flavorful they become.

The teacher around Su Jin praised him for a while, "Mr. Su, your son speaks very well. Did you write him a speech?"

The first half of Su Jin is quite useful.

The second half of the sentence made her feel a little uncomfortable.

When Zhou You and Zhou Lingyu were studying, she was most annoyed to hear someone ask: Lingyu is so good at reading, why can't Zhou You?

She doesn't like people saying that her son is not good.

Who can't do it?

Who do you look down on?
The speech you wrote for him?Isn't this saying that his son is not good?Questioning her son's competence?
Su Jin's face immediately became serious: "I'm not capable of that, he wrote it himself."

Seeing Su Jin's serious face, the teacher who asked the question just now realized that he had said something wrong, and even said: "The writing is really good, Xiao Zhou is really getting better and better."

Su Jin didn't answer.

On the other side, Shang Mengyi and the others were amazed, "Zhou You spoke so well."

Liang Jialiang: "It is very speculative and philosophical."

Wei Lai: "It seems that Zhou You has grown a lot in the entertainment circle these years. I have long recognized that he is a person of Neixiu."

Yu Haoyang and others next to him listened with a bit of contempt.He whispered, "I don't know where I copied it from."

Shang Mengyi: "Yu Haoyang, what do you mean?"

Yu Haoyang: "Just the literal meaning."

Shang Mengyi's temper was short, and she was about to quarrel with the other party.

At this time, Zhou You's speech had entered a new stage.

"If young people are wise, the country will be wise; if young people are rich, the country will be rich; if young people are strong, the country will be strong; if young people are independent, the country will be independent; if young people are free, the country will be free; if young people are progressing, the country will progress..."

"The red sun is just rising, and its way is bright. The river emerges from the submerged stream and flows into the ocean. The dragon dives into the abyss, and the scales and claws fly. The breast tiger roars in the valley, and the beasts tremble. The eagle and the falcon test their wings, and the wind and dust spread. The emperor is the emperor. The generals grow up, and there is a light. The sky wears its blue, and the earth wears its yellow. Even though there are thousands of years, there are eight wildernesses. The future is like the sea, and the future will be long. Beautiful, my young Xia Guo, and the sky are not old! Magnificent, my Xia Guo A young man with no borders..."

Zhou You excerpted part of the content of "Young China".

And according to the background of the blue star, some words and sentences were slightly modified.

Every word is sonorous and powerful.

The first time Zhou You knew about "Young China" was when he watched "Qia Classmate Boys".

"Qia Classmate Boy" tells the story of a great man in his youth.

At that time, a group of white-clothed teenagers in white uniforms,

high spirited,

Enthusiastically recited the song "Youth China" collectively,
Really see people's blood surging.

The leaders and teachers in the audience looked at each other in dismay when they heard this, and their expressions changed again and again.

The students present were mobilized one by one!
"The wisdom of the youth makes the country wise, the wealth of the youth makes the country rich, the strength of the youth makes the country strong...Zhou You said it very well!"

"The baby tiger roaring in the valley, the beasts panicking and so on in the back, I seem to understand it, but I don't seem to understand it."

"Although I don't fully understand it!! But it doesn't stop my blood from boiling."

on site,

I don't know which student took the lead, and the students all stood up from their seats.

The astonishment of Wei Lai and others was beyond words.

Wei Lai: "Zhou You's literary talent is beyond compare."

Liang Jialiang: "This is no longer an internal show, it is a show of Dihua."

Shang Mengyi instantly felt that Zhou You was forcing Graman.

Chu Ci stared at Zhou You on the stage in astonishment: "I used to fail in composition all the time, but now I go back to my alma mater and write a perfect composition?"

Yu Haoyang finally closed his mouth this time.

Oh shit! !It's too fucking good to pretend.

He still didn't believe that Zhou You had such a literary talent.

Someone must have written it for him.

Yes...it should be Xiaoyao!It must be Happy! !Only Xiaoyao has such a literary talent.

After the excerpt from "On Young China", Zhou You made a short summary.

This speech is quietly coming to an end.

Finally he said:

"Student brothers and sisters, every inch of time is worth every inch of gold, don't wait for nothing, the boy's head is white, empty and sad."

"thank you all!"

Finished speaking!

The whole place was silent!
After about five seconds, there was warm applause, followed by exclamations and screams.

"Don't wait any longer, the boy's head has turned white, Kong is so sad!! Senior Brother Zhou You speaks well."

"too strong!!"

"This speech is too hardcore."

"High energy all the way!"

"Brother Zhou You is awesome!!"

"The blood is boiling and boiling again!!"

"This... this can't be recited in full?"

The students were excited, the teachers were excited, and the leaders all stood up and applauded.

Of course, many people said that after listening to Zhou You's speech while kneeling... But they were clearly standing.

Qi Wenqing was immersed in Zhou You's speech.

She forgot to be on stage to host.

It was a teacher who was helping to remind her, "Ms. Qi, it's your turn to go on stage."

Only then did Qi Wenqing realize, "Oh, good... I was overwhelmed by Zhou You's speech."

The centennial celebration of Yuzhou No. [-] Middle School, the mainstream media in Yuzhou came to the scene to report on the situation.

When Zhou You spoke just now,
The camera did not move away from Zhou You for a moment.

Zhou You's speech was recorded throughout.

Now all the media need to do is "grab the issue."

The reporters started writing on the spot, simply edited and organized the video, and then released it as quickly as possible.

After Zhou You stepped off the stage, he returned to his seat and sat next to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci: "It feels like you're cheating."

Zhou You: "That's right, I really have a problem."

Chu Ci: "It's the same as the truth."

After Zhou You spoke, major media quickly posted the video of his speech on the Internet.

The official media account of Yuzhou No. [-] Middle School forwarded it immediately.

If only Yuzhou No. [-] Middle School's centennial celebration alumni spoke, it might have aroused a little attention and repercussions in Yuzhou.

But this time it was Zhou You who spoke.

Zhou You has a strong fan appeal in Xia Guo, and he has his own enthusiasm.

The media only need to show Zhou You's face and mention Zhou You's name, and Zhou You's loyal fans will flock to him.

"Did Zhou You speak at the school celebration?"

"Ouch, I'm going!!! This talk is dead."

"Damn!! The representative of the Chinese class, hurry up and arrange to recite the full text."

"Every sentence is a classic!"

"The red sun is rising, and its path is bright. The river flows out and flows into the ocean... What kind of fairy writing is this?"

"A strong youth makes a country strong!!! It's amazing."

"Mom asked me why I was watching the video on my knees."

"Um, didn't he write it himself? I think Xiaoyao helped him write the speech."

"The speech draft needs someone else to help him... Hehe, just to pretend?"

There are different voices on the Internet.

Fans of Zhou You support Zhou You and believe in Zhou You.

But some keyboard warriors think that Zhou You is just putting on a show, using this method to gain attention and traffic.

Zhou You didn't know this at the moment.

The school celebrations are still going on.

Speeches, performances, alumni donations...

Zhou You donated 200 million.

Hmm... It's not that Zhou You is stingy, but that alumni who are richer than him only donated so much, so there is no need for Zhou You to show off the limelight.

Sometimes conformity is not a bad thing.

Donate too much,
Just don't give these "alumni" face.

Why bother to offend people?

And Yuzhou No. [-] Middle School is not short of money.

If it's a charitable donation, Zhou You can spend tens of millions without even blinking an eye!But it is unnecessary to donate too much to schools that are not short of money... Whether it is Earth or Blue Star, corruption is common.Not all the money donated is used where it should be used.

After the school celebration, the principal found Zhou You on purpose, held Zhou You's hand and said, "Xiao Zhou, your speech just now was so wonderful!"

"I want to use the two paragraphs you said about the strength of the youth and the strength of the country as the second school motto, is that possible?"

"Principal, you praise me too much," Zhou You said, "I just say something casually, and I dare not take it as a school motto."

"Just talking about it will make the world cry?" said the principal.

"Headmaster, I mean..."

"Mr. Zhang, don't refuse, your speech is really good." The principal's deputy said, "It can motivate our students."

Everyone said something to each other, and in the end Zhou You could only accept this fact.

Let the excerpt of "Young China Talk" be the "second school motto".

The principal asked for a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Xiao Zhou, please mention the words." The principal said.

"I can't write well." Zhou You declined, "The leaders are highly respected, so it's more appropriate for you to mention your handwriting."

"It's okay." The principal said, "You write your speech, it's more real and meaningful."

Unable to escape, Zhou You could only pick up a brush and write down the excerpts from "A Tale of Young China" on the spread rice paper.

"The wisdom of the young makes the country wise, the wealth of the young makes the country rich, and the strong of the young makes the country strong... The red sun is rising, and its way is bright..."

When Zhou You wrote the inscription, the principal and leaders surrounded him.

The cameras of the media reporters also moved and switched back and forth on the roaming, writing brushes, and rice paper.

The moment Zhou You held the brush, the running script proficiency skill was activated.

The pen walks the dragon and snake.

Flowing clouds and water.

The cursive brush characters full of verve are outlined by Zhou You's pen.

Floating like floating clouds, like startling dragons.The iron book and silver hook are the best in ancient and modern times.

The strength of character is scattered.

The charm is natural.

When everyone saw the words written by Zhou You, their expressions gradually became surprised and stunned.

"This... running script?"

"This word is too beautiful!"

"Did he just say he couldn't write well?"

"Damn it!! It was installed by him!! This cursive script feels like the handwriting of a calligrapher!"

Chu Ci's small mouth opened slightly.

Back then we were both scumbags... At that time, I still remembered that his handwriting was ugly, but now he writes with the charm of a calligrapher.

Wonderful speech.

Beautiful calligraphy!

Why is Zhou You so handsome at the moment?

pen down.

The stunned headmaster applauded first.

With the headmaster taking the lead, everyone applauded one after another, thunderous applause.

Principal: "Xiao Zhou...your calligraphy is so beautiful! Have you practiced this calligraphy for many years?"

Zhou You: "I used to dream of being famous one day, and I was chased and blocked for my autograph, but my handwriting was too ugly, so I practiced my autograph."

Practicing signature to practice writing like this?
Why don't I believe it?

Everyone knew that Zhou You was definitely not telling the truth, but they didn't continue to ask.

Principal: "Xiao Zhou, I have to ask you for advice on calligraphy in the future."

For a time, Zhou You became the center of everyone.

It's fine if he doesn't mention his signature.

Say,
Immediately, the teachers and students around surrounded Zhou You to sign.

After the celebration, the school also arranged alumni garden activities, exchange meetings, etc., from morning to evening.

In the evening the school arranged a banquet.

Alumni gather to eat and chat.

A band was also invited to accompany and sing.

The atmosphere is still very good.

At this time, the video of Zhou You speaking at the school celebration and writing calligraphy has become popular on the Internet!

"I'm going!! Zhou You's speech goes straight to the soul."

"A strong boy makes the country strong!"

"Blowing around."

"I've already recited it in full."

"And this handwriting! I lost it, I would like to call him a calligrapher."

"Can this calligraphy be auctioned?"

"I found that Zhou You is really versatile! Singing, playing the piano, and calligraphy! Doesn't he look like an artist?"

Fans were talking.

The popularity of these two videos has soared to the number one and number two on Weibo's most popular list respectively.

Fans asked for Zhou You's autograph in the comment area.

They said that they don't want Zhou You's autograph now, and they won't be able to do so in the future, because Zhou You will become a great calligrapher in the future, and he will be worth a fortune.

The dinner scene.

Zhou You's speech and calligraphy shocked the alumni a lot.

Alumni came up to chat with him wave after wave, exchanging contact information, and some alumni even asked him to shoot advertisements as endorsements.

National TV host Qi Wenqing also exchanged contact information with Zhou You.

After that, Zhou You sat at the same table with Chu Ci, Shang Mengyi, Liang Jialiang, etc., and had a good chat.

Everyone was having a good meal.

Later, the alumni probably drank a little wine and got a little high.

On stage, I borrowed the singer's microphone and sang Blue Star's classic song "Old Friend", which brightened the atmosphere.

Then the dinner party turned into an alumni karaoke conference.

"What's the point of us laymen here?"

"We have a big star here!"

"How about we ask a big star to come on stage and sing a song?"

Someone took the lead, and immediately someone booed.

"it is good!!"

"Sing one sing one!"

"Oh!! Zhou You sing one!"

Everyone turned their attention to Zhou You.

Everyone asked him to sing one, but he really couldn't refuse.

Under the call of alumni, Zhou You boarded the front stage.

What should I sing?
Hmm... Among the songs won in the current lottery, the one that is more nostalgic and more about classmates is "You at the Same Table".

Only this song is more appropriate.

He borrowed the singer's guitar.

"I will sing a simple song." Zhou You said, "Although my mother is a teacher in No. [-] Middle School, it is the first time to return to her alma mater after graduation."

"Today, I went to the classroom where I used to teach. The equipment in the classroom has been updated and advanced, but the overall situation has not changed much."

"Sitting in the previous seat in the back row, time seemed to turn back, and the young and sunny faces of the students appeared in front of my eyes again."

"Sing "You at the Same Table" for everyone."

Zhou You said a few words and laid the groundwork.

The alumni fell into memories following Zhou You's words.

I think of the youthful years of my student days, the classmates at the front and back desks, the deskmates, my roommates, and of course the male or female classmates I have always had a crush on...

Everyone participated in today's "garden activity".

Switched schools again.

Went to familiar canteens, dormitories, exams...

Reminiscing for a while in the corridor between classes, I watched the girls in the next class pass by when they went to the bathroom hand in hand, hid in the toilet smoking and was caught by the teacher, passed notes in class, and read novels...

Everyone told the "stupid things" at that time one by one.

Quite interesting.

Emotions are brewing in place.

The atmosphere is pulled up.

Zhou You hooked his fingers on the guitar.

The melody flows out.

Zhou You sang the lyrics with a voice that seemed to condense time.

"Will you remember tomorrow, the diary you wrote yesterday, will you still remember tomorrow, you who used to cry the most..."

Zhou You's singing seems to have the ability to draw people into memories.

The door of the listener's memory opens with the singing.

It seems to have returned to the youthful time that belonged to them alone.

"The teachers can't remember you, you who can't guess the question, I just accidentally flipped through the photos, and then I remembered you at the same table..."

Hearing this, Shang Mengyi's eyes were slightly moist.

Shang Mengyi: "Du Hao was my deskmate in high school. I haven't contacted him since graduation, and I don't know how he is doing."

Liang Jialiang: "I met him on Guanyin Street last year and added him on WeChat. He is married and has two daughters. The daughters are quite cute."

Shang Mengyi: "Get married so early and have children?"

Liang Jialiang: "After graduating from high school, come out to work, and then meet the right one and get married."

Starting in high school seemed like a watershed moment.

Admitted to the university to continue studying.

Those who did not pass the exam began to enter the society, got married and had children... When the students who were in college graduated, some high school students had already had a second child.

Several people chatted with emotion.

Then they asked each other who they were at the same table back then.

Chu Ci didn't speak the whole time.

She is listening to Zhou You singing carefully.

Shang Mengyi: "Chuci, who was your deskmate in freshman year of high school?"

Chu Ci didn't hear it.

She only heard Zhou You singing:

"You used to be very careful and asked me to borrow half of an eraser. You also said inadvertently that you liked being with me. At that time, the sky was always blue, and the days always passed too slowly. You always said that graduation is far away. Indefinitely, in a blink of an eye, they will go their separate ways..."

Chuci used to paint, and indeed he often asked Zhou You to borrow erasers.

He actually wrote it into the lyrics!
I really miss those days.

Hey...you at the same table, she didn't write and sing for me, did she?

Chu Ci's heart suddenly throbbed.

"Chu Ci?"

"Chu Ci?"

Shang Mengyi called Chuci several times before she realized, "Ahh... what?"

Shang Mengyi: "You didn't respond after calling several times."

Chu Ci: "Zhou You's singing is so nice."

Shang Mengyi: "Chu Ci, who was your deskmate in the first year of high school?"

It's Zhou You... But Chu Ci didn't say, the title of the song "You at the Same Table" is too directional. If she said that my tablemate is Zhou You, everyone would definitely say that this song is not written for you Well...Chu Ci didn't know how to deal with such a situation.

It will also cause unnecessary trouble to Zhou You.

Moreover,
This song may not be written for myself.

After thinking for a while, Chu Ci said, "Gao is at the same table... I don't remember." While speaking, Chu Ci never took his eyes off Zhou You.
