Chapter 344: School Anniversary March

The process of the school anniversary is quite simple.

First, the school leaders give speeches, followed by speeches from outstanding students. Lastly, there are student performances, and then they all look toward the future, bringing the event to a smooth conclusion.

After more than an hour, all the school leaders finally finished their speeches.

Next, it was the turn for the outstanding students to speak. When each person took the stage, the host would introduce the year they graduated, their current status, and achievements.

This segment was far more exciting than the earlier speeches by the school leaders.

After all, since childhood, everyone always found school leader speeches to be the most annoying.

They were long and dull, like old lady’s foot wrappings, making people want to doze off.

Finally, it was Xu Shaochen’s turn to take the stage.

The applause was more enthusiastic than ever before. After all, compared to the previous speakers, Xu Shaochen was still a current student, so everyone felt a greater sense of connection with him.

“Xu Shaochen, a sophomore at our school, who began his entrepreneurial journey this year, is currently serving as the chairman of Chen Yu Company. Chen Yu Company is the fastest-growing company in Jiangzhou, involved in industries such as catering, real estate, and food processing…”

Wow! With the host’s introduction, the whole venue erupted; there were gasps of astonishment.

“Chen Yu Company is actually his?! Damn, that’s incredible! My dad works at Chen Yu Company!”

“I’ve heard of this company. It’s really impressive. I didn’t expect the boss to be our schoolmate.”

“Awesome. He’s someone not to mess with…”

All the students were incredibly excited. Their gazes toward Xu Shaochen were filled with admiration and envy, along with a sense of pride in being associated with him.

After all, with someone this successful from their school, they could boast with more confidence when they were out.

Gu Weilong’s face changed as well. Naturally, he knew about Chen Yu Company, but he hadn’t expected it to be Xu Shaochen’s enterprise.

“Hmph! No wonder it’s growing so fast. Rich second generation kids never lack money.”

Gu Weilong muttered under his breath, his tone dripping with sour jealousy—the classic case of sour grapes.

“Alright, everyone, please quiet down. First, I am very honored to stand here as an outstanding student while still being a current student. I am unworthy of this title, and I don’t have much to share with you…”

That was the truth. His secret to success was simply inheriting a huge fortune—a secret that no one else could use.

Xu Shaochen’s speech was brief. Just when everyone thought it was going to end, Xu Shaochen suddenly raised his voice and said:

“Jiangzhou University is my alma mater, and it’s the alma mater of everyone here. I hope to see more people from here succeed in society, so I’ve decided that from today onwards, Chen Yu Company will collaborate with the school to establish a Chen Yu Scholarship.”

“Every semester, ten slots will be available, each with a reward of 30,000 yuan. Moreover, after graduation, Chen Yu Company will conduct direct recruitment. Therefore, as long as you receive this scholarship, you only need to focus on your studies. You won’t need to worry about tuition, fees, or finding a job after graduation.”

As soon as Xu Shaochen finished speaking, the entire school was in an uproar, with even the school leaders’ expressions changing.

After all, Xu Shaochen had not communicated this with them beforehand, making it a pleasant surprise.

“Clap, clap, clap…”

In an instant, thunderous applause echoed through the hall, with many people clapping so hard that their palms turned red. Quite a few students made up their minds right then to earn that scholarship.

“Let me add something as well. Since Junior Brother Xu has set an example, I, as a senior, can’t possibly come here empty-handed. How about this? I can’t compete with his financial power, so I’ll donate a library building.”

“If that’s the case, I’ll donate twenty buses as school vehicles.”

Zhang Zhi and Zhao Yin exchanged glances and then stood up to respond to Xu Shaochen by making their donations.

“I’ll donate 500 computers…”

“I’ll…”

The others couldn’t sit still either. One after another, they stood up to donate campus public facilities. Even Gu Weilong had to donate an indoor basketball court.

The students were thrilled, and the school leaders were smiling from ear to ear.

After all, they hadn’t anticipated such a windfall at the start, which turned out to be an unexpected delight.

Xu Shaochen is indeed a good comrade. After he graduates, they’ll definitely need to hang his photo in the school’s Hall of Fame.

Xu Shaochen stepped off the stage, and the host took the stage to thank Xu Shaochen and the others, encouraging the students not to disappoint their seniors. Then, the student performances began.

The first few acts were rather ordinary, but as soon as Zhou Sixian took the stage, she amazed the audience, leaving everyone breathless.

“Wow! When did our school get such an exceptional beauty? How come we’ve never seen her before?”

“Zhou Sixian? That name sounds a bit unfamiliar, and she herself is even more unfamiliar.”

“I can’t help it… I think I’m in love.”

Zhou Sixian’s classmates were even more shocked; they never could have imagined that Zhou Sixian had such a beautiful face.

Especially the male classmates, who were all filled with regret, beating their chests and lamenting their blindness.

Hearing the waves of exclamations, Xu Shaochen’s lips lifted into a slight smile. This was precisely the effect he had wanted.

Today, Zhou Sixian was wearing a long white dress, with her jet-black hair draped over one shoulder. Her long legs were wrapped in sheer stockings, and she wore a pair of white high heels, looking like a fairy descended from the heavens.

Zhou Sixian glanced at Xu Shaochen, gave a faint smile, and then picked up the microphone to start singing.

Her voice was naturally pleasant, and paired with her beauty, it instantly captivated the audience.

Gu Weilong, with a flushed face, looked provocatively at Xu Shaochen.

Hmph! Your girlfriend is no big deal. The one in front of me is the real gem. Once I win her over, let’s see what you still have to be proud of.

Unfortunately, what he didn’t know was that Zhou Sixian also belonged to Xu Shaochen.

After Zhou Sixian finished her song, the audience was still wanting more.

After all, whether or not the song was good didn’t matter. Just having her stand on stage doing nothing was pleasing to the eyes.

“Damn! That bastard Xu!”

Li Qi and the others were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. Naturally, they knew that Xu Shaochen had been pursuing Zhou Sixian for the past couple of days.

They had initially thought Xu Shaochen’s taste was off, but now they knew he was playing a long game.

Before anyone noticed Zhou Sixian’s beauty, he had already secured her.

The trio had initially been concerned about Xie Wei’s feelings, but over the past couple of days, they realized that she wasn’t bothered at all and continued to show off her relationship with Xu Shaochen.

This not only made the trio sigh with relief for Xu Shaochen but also left them feeling even more envious and jealous.

Why did he get all the good women? Damn it, he’s clearly just a womanizer!

In the end, they made up their minds.

They decided they needed to become rich and then go to Stick Nation for plastic surgery.
