Chapter One Hundred: The Reaction Caused by the Speech
"So, our great writer is going to give a speech again?" Li Yuming asked leisurely from his comfortable office chair.
"The whole school is talking about it, I asked the secretary of the writing club, Liu Mei, and she confirmed the news, it's just a matter of one or two days." Zou Lixing said with a smile on his face.
"Haha, great! This kid's got some skills in public speaking. Last time he spoke, the whole school was stunned on the spot. Later, after it was broadcasted through Gu Cheng Zhi Sheng, the whole city was stunned too. It made our business school lose face big time. I'm really looking forward to seeing what this kid can come up with this time!" Li Yuming said with great interest.
Zou Lixing also sighed, "Yes, it's true that our school has always been neglected by others. But since Su came to our school, things have been happening one after another. Last time, the city-wide flood relief donation association established through the writing club made our school quite famous."
"Haha, this is an extraordinary thing. This kid is not ordinary. Look at what he's done, it's not something that can be achieved by just anyone. In the future, he will definitely soar to great heights." Li Yuming said calmly.
"Yes! Come to think of it, when the writing club was first established, I was the one who helped him with the paperwork. At that time, I just wanted this somewhat famous young author to bring some popularity to our school's literary circle. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, this writing club would become so influential! This is really unexpected." Zou Lie Xing couldn't help but feel a sense of how things had changed beyond recognition as he thought about it.
"By the way, Principal, I heard that the government has some opinions about the Writing Club. Is everything okay?" Zou Lixing suddenly asked.
Li Yuming glanced at Zou Lixing and sighed, "It's all not a big deal. After all, it's hard to distinguish right from wrong, some are jealous, some are envious, and some are just being cautious!"
"What's wrong?"
"You know, some people are getting uneasy about the power displayed by the Flood Relief Donation Association and Writing Society." Li Yuming said in a low voice.
Zou Lie furrowed his brow and said, "Unsettled? Are these people being overly sensitive? Although the Writing Club has shown its extraordinary influence on students in this incident, students are still just students after all. It's not wartime now, so what kind of unrest could they possibly stir up?"
"Haha, that's not it, after all, someone just can't stand it and took the opportunity to make a fuss." Liu Yuming said with implication.
"Oh, Principal. You mean..."
……
"Hmph, unexpectedly, this kid is going to give a speech again. I'd like to see what he can come up with!" Hu Li said languidly, leaning against the sofa, his face somewhat gloomy.
"The boss can't let his guard down, this kid has a good foundation in speech and somehow, listening to him always makes you unknowingly agree with his point of view. It's really strange." A secretary-like person next to him hastily reminded.
"Huli snorted and said, 'Of course I know this kid's speech is heretical. But he wants to give a speech and I can't stop him, what can be done? It's just a matter of meeting force with force, and water with earth. Do you think this kid knows about my existence now?'"
The secretary thought for a moment and said, "From his current behavior, he should be unaware of the boss's existence. But don't forget that this kid's father is the vice mayor of Gucheng, and you've used municipal resources multiple times. It's likely that the government already knows about you. Su Hangfeng is a very astute person, after all. If Su Hangfeng finds out about your existence, wouldn't that mean Su Zhan also knows?"
Upon hearing the secretary's words, Hu Li's face turned even darker. After some careful thought, he grasped at a straw and said: "I didn't say anything to the government, I just gave them a slightly biased nudge. Su Hangfeng shouldn't be so sensitive, should he?"
"This..." The secretary didn't know how to answer this question anymore.
"Hmph! What's the point of knowing anyway? With his abilities, he still doesn't have what it takes to bring me down!" Hu Li said fiercely.
"That's right, even if it's a bright horse and carriage, with his cautious nature, he wouldn't dare to make a move at this old age!" The secretary hastily handed over the horse's fart.
A look of enjoyment involuntarily appeared on Huli's face.
"What's going on with this speech, is it open to outsiders?" Hu Li suddenly asked.
"Hmm, this... it's not very clear at the moment, but I heard that Su Zhan's announcement said that all members of the Writing Society can participate. The Writing Society isn't limited to just our school, almost every school in the city has members, so there will definitely be students from other schools participating, and it should be open to people outside of school too."
"Well, I think so too. Alright, you go prepare for the speech, and we'll go together." Hu Li said with a glance around.
"Ah! Boss, are you going too?" The secretary exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course, is there a problem?"
"Ah, no, no, I mean, boss, you personally showing up is really giving him too much face!"
……
"Speech? Ah, I know, you can go down now!" Su Xingfeng waved his hand and let the secretary leave.
He picked up the tea and took a sip, Su Xingfeng's thoughts were a bit messy. Su Jian was going to give another speech, why was he giving a speech? Ah, I heard from Qian Yun that this kid was going to film a TV series. It should be for this matter.
"This kid really thinks he can just come up with something and it's a done deal, does he think TV dramas are that easy to make? He doesn't even understand the plot and has no idea how he'll die! Now this kid is getting out of hand, not even coming to ask for my opinion on such a big thing!"
Su Xingfeng suddenly felt a suffocating feeling in his chest, forget it, let him be, he's always been too smooth. Let him take this opportunity to suffer a bit and he'll learn a lesson.
Su Xingfeng picked up the documents on the table, deciding not to care about Su Jin's affairs anymore. However, for some reason, he couldn't focus on a single word in the documents in his hand. His mind kept wandering back to Su Jin's speech and his TV drama filming.
Is he really filming a TV series in school? If so, is he going to select actors from the school? But can students in school handle it? What can a group of students who are not even as good as extras do?
Does he want to shoot a TV series? Is everything ready? Are there directors, screenwriters, photographers and editors?
Recently, the atmosphere in the government has been somewhat off, did he notice? Has anyone thought of who it is? Is there a way to deal with it? Su Xingfeng's mind was in a mess, although Su Zhen had done very well during this period and had already surpassed an adult in everyone's eyes.
But in Su Xingfeng's eyes, he still felt like a child, a child who needed to be taken care of and shielded from the wind and rain. The pity of all parents!
Forget it, I'll just go and take a look myself when the time comes! Su Xingfeng finally made this decision.
"Xiao Li, go and find out when Xiao Jin's speech is!"
