729 Coro University (1/2)
In the suburbs of Coro City, a 2000-acre, European-style manor stood tall. The majestic main building revealed the atmosphere of the academy with its green lawn and campus full of vitality. At the moment, in front of this luxury building, a crowd stood together. It was full of young people with faces full of energy.
The person standing on the high stage in the doorway was our protagonist, Jiang Chen.
First of all, this wasn't Jiang Chen's manor but a newly built university...
Well, in fact, there was essentially no difference between the two.
When Jiang Chen stood on the podium, people burst into cheers. People below the stage waved the Xin flag and the flag with Future Group's logo. They offered their highest respects to the leader of science and technology that led Xin to prosperity.
In the minds of the young people, he undoubtedly had an unwavering influence.
Wearing jeans and a white T-shirt, Jiang Chen stood on the podium, waved at the crowd, and picked up the microphone.
”Your enthusiasm really surprised me. This is probably the most energetic crowd I've made a speech to.”
”...”
Seeing Jiang Chen waving at them, the cheers of the people below the podium erupted like a flood.
”Look! He's waving at me!” A tall, beautiful woman pulled her best friend and shouted in excitement.
”Ah! He looked over here~”
”Long live Jiang Chen! Long live Xin! Long live Future Group!”
”...”
Looking at the pairs of eager eyes below the stage, Jiang Chen was smiling. Although it wasn't the first time he stood in front of tens of thousands of people, no matter how many times he stood in place, he still felt an endless wave of emotions. The young people below the stage were the future elites of Xin. They came from Xin and the whole world. Earning the praise of these proud intellectuals brought him a great sense of accomplishment.
With the atmosphere almost at its climax, he cleared his throat and spoke his opening remarks.
”I'm extremely honored to be here. As the first principal of Coro University, I will give an opening speech to our first freshman.”
Applause resounded then gradually stopped.
The noise gradually subsided, and the audience's eyes focused on him. In response to their eager gazes, Jiang Chen continued.
”I don't have much to say. I assume you don't want to hear me read a list of school regulations. Here, I'll talk about why Coro University was founded.”
”I've always stressed the importance of science and technology. Technology is changing our lives, changing the earth under our feet, and will change the solar system and even the milky way.”
”And it won't be banknotes, nor sophisticated experimental equipment, nor a principal who brags in front of you... that achieves all of this.”
After a pause, Jiang Chen's eyes glanced over every student below the stage.
”It is you who will make the change.”
