Chapter 343 - A Different Closing Speech! (2/2)

Li Ying burst out in laughter, ”Little Mi, why does your prayer include a curse!?”

”Professor Yan.” An old lecturer chuckled.

Yan Jiantao also shook his head. This Zhang Ye was being too presumptuous.

Beside him, an old professor who had good relations with him, added, ”I heard this Little Zhang is very articulate. I really don't believe what I've heard. Today, I want to see if he really has the ability.”

”Why did they let Zhang Ye do it?”

”The closing statement is such an important thing, it should be left to anyone but him!”

”That's right. He lacks the qualifications. We have been in education for decades!”

”The school's leaders sure trust him. Let's see how he screws up!”

”With Professor Yan's highly educative speech at the beginning, what does he have to say? There's no way to end it. He will appear too weak. The closing statement usually has to be better than the opening speech!”

Many Peking University teachers began discussing!

Especially some older professors and old veterans in education. They all did not think highly of Zhang Ye.

A few Vice Presidents looked up at the stage in worry. They had only gotten Zhang Ye to save the situation as they were out of options.

Only Wu Zeqing looked calm as usual. She looked at Zhang Ye at the podium and nodded at him.

Whatever the people off-stage said was useless.

Everyone's moods and expressions were different.

Zhang Ye walked to the stage and took over the microphone from Yan Jin. He smiled and then faced the thousands of students and teachers from the various provinces. ”h.e.l.lo everyone. Tonight's gala has come to an end. The performances were all very successful. I saw everyone's vitality and in my heart, that is what youths should be like!”

What he said was very ba.n.a.l.

Professor Yan and many teachers scoffed.

When the students heard this opening statement, they also turned sleepy. Previously, that Professor Yan's opening speech had ruined their mood, causing them to not enjoy the gala. Now that it was the closing speech, another guy came to talk? Even though Zhang Ye was a celebrity, they lacked the interest. Who didn't know the importance of studying diligently? They were long tired of hearing their seniors drone on about this. They no longer wanted to hear anymore of it!

”So meaningless!”

”Can we leave now?”

”That's right. It's time to leave, right?”

Many children spoke in murmurs, but were stopped by the teachers beside them. Only then did they fall silent and endured in silence.

Only the eyes of those reporters lit up. The cameramen, who wanted to switch off the cameras, did not need their colleagues to remind them. All of them became attentive!

Why?

There was no why!

It was because this person was called Zhang Ye! Wherever he was, there would always be news!

Sure enough, Zhang Ye's next sentence caused the atmosphere to change without warning. This was because Zhang Ye had said a closing statement no one would have thought of.

”Today, I will be representing the President to deliver the closing speech. I am very honored and the closing speech should be scripted and go accordance with routines and rules, but I won't be doing it today. Well, of course, even if I wanted to just read ad verbatim, I can't do it now without anything on hand.” Noticing people laugh, Zhang Ye carried on. He sounded very casual in his speech. Not having a script had its benefits. ”Furthermore at today's gala's opening, Professor Yan Jiantao's speech gave me a thought. Professor Yan said the society today is comprised of adults, and as youths, your duty is to study diligently. You should diligently follow the path that they think is right based on their experience, and eventually become them. Then, succeed them many years later! Youths should not have any doubts because they are people with experience. They know which paths are shortcuts and which paths are the important ones! You just need to do as they did!”

That was what was said. Professor Yan's general meaning was probably that. The final goal was just to 'encourage education' from a different perspective.

The old Vice President frowned. ”What's Little Zhang doing?”

Yan Jiantao's face turned ashen. What do you mean by this?

Many people did not understand what Zhang Ye was saying. These words gave them a fright. After all, Zhang Ye had many notorious deeds in the past!

In the next moment, Zhang Ye let everyone know that the Zhang Ye, who caused trouble everywhere he went, had never f**king changed. ”I know there are many people who agree and admire Professor Yan's perspective, but as far as I'm concerned, I am totally against it!”

There was an uproar!

”Holy sh*t!”

”Zhang Ye has fired his cannons again!”

”Is this because of the conflict with Professor Yan this afternoon?”

”I knew it! I knew never to let Zhang Ye give the speech! He has no fear with that mouth of his! If a microphone is given to him, he will dare to even scold the entire world!”

The Peking University teachers were all fl.u.s.tered. This was a gala that was political in nature! No one could save the situation if something went wrong!

However, many primary and secondary school students brightened up. This was really a different closing speech. They had never seen a closing speech reject the opening speech before!

The rumors were true!

This Zhang Ye was really different from others!
