Top Student: Experience Infinite Occupations - Chapter 225
225 Medal for Courage
Tianyi High School was buzzing as many people came.
The winner of the Medal for Courage had been named.
Moreover, it was personally sent to Tianyi City by Director Guo of the Provincial Bureau.
Director Guo asked Chief Zhao to contact Tianyi High School and hold the award ceremony at Tianyi High School.
Principal Wang Lingbo didn’t stop smiling from the moment he received the notice. He was overjoyed even though he was very busy as a result.
!!
Tianyi City attached great importance to the event as Director Guo was personally attending. It thus arranged for many people in charge of various units to attend.
The people from the Education Department also came.
The principals of the various schools in Tianyi City were also present.
Wang Lingbo paced around the school anxiously, his eyes constantly looking at the intersection.
“This is so nerve wracking! Why isn’t Li Chengqian here yet!” He looked at the time. The commendation ceremony was starting in 15 minutes.
The stage was already filled with people.
Below the stage, many heads of departments sat obediently.
Wang Lingbo was very anxious and kept pacing around the school gate. He was tempted to call Li Chengqian. He took out his phone several times, but hesitated and dropped the idea.
This was because Li Chengqian was of a high status.
Especially after the Divine Dragon Software System was found to be immune to the Doomsday Extortion Virus, and thus dominated the global market, Li Chengqian effectively became the de facto leader in Divine Dragon country’s software technology.
In addition, a few days ago, someone exposed on the internet that the Divine Dragon System had obtained nearly 200 billion yuan in revenue during the Doomsday Extortion Virus outbreak.
No one dared to treat Li Chengqian as an ordinary student anymore.
Although Wang Lingbo was the Principal of Tianyi High School, he had a subconscious sense of reverence towards Li Chengqian.
It was as if he was meeting a big shot, someone he could never measure up to.
Just then, an ordinary looking car pulled up at the school gate.
After Li Chengqian got out of the car, Wang Lingbo welcomed him with a beaming face. “Li Chengqian, quick, we’re just waiting for you, our hero of the day! Director Guo and the others, as well as the heads of Tianyi City, the people in charge of various government departments have long arrived.”
“Principal Wang, there’s no hurry. The meeting will only start in ten minutes.” Li Chengqian looked at the time and smiled.
“Don’t be anxious. Let’s just walk faster!” Seeing that Principal Wang was so anxious but didn’t dare to show it on his face, Li Chengqian shook his head and quickly walked into the school.
“President Li, come and take a seat here.” Director Guo deliberately vacated a seat beside him. When he saw Li Chengqian arrive, a smile appeared on his serious face.
Li Chengqian looked around and realized that Director Guo’s position was in the middle. To the left of Director Guo’s position was the highest ranking official in Tianyi City.
His seat was on the right side of Director Guo.
This position was even closer to Director Guo than Chief Zhao.
Li Chengqian felt that it was a little inappropriate and wanted to decline. Director Guo seemed to have read his mind. “President Li, come over quickly. You’re our star of the day. If you don’t sit in the middle, who will?”
As Director Guo spoke, the people around him all had friendly smiles on their faces.
“Thank you, leaders!” What else could Li Chengqian do? He could only brace himself and walk to Director Guo’s side.
When Li Chengqian took his seat, the students below the stage were all envious. They said softly, “I’m willing to give an arm and a leg just for an opportunity to have that seat up there.”
“Li Chengqian is awesome. In Director Guo’s eyes, Li Chengqian is more important than everyone here today.”
“Li Chengqian’s software technology is number one in the world. Of course he’s important! If I could even learn one percent of his technology, I won’t ever have to worry about money for the rest of my life,” a classmate said enviously.
“I heard that this time, the Divine Dragon Software Company made 200 billion yuan in revenue on the operating system! This amount of 200 billion yuan is equivalent to four years of Tianyi City’s revenue! How can a cash cow like him not be important?”
“I’ll be happy with a million yuan!”
“Two hundred billion yuan. I won’t be able to earn that much money even in a hundred lifetimes.” The boys looked at Li Chengqian with envy.
“I wonder if Li Chengqian will accept a lackey… I’m willing to be his lackey for the rest of my life.”
“Tsk, you’re thinking too much. People like us won’t even qualify to be Li Chengqian’s lackey, okay?” Someone shook his head. With Li Chengqian’s current income and status, he might not even be bothered with mere mortals like us.
Many girls looked at Li Chengqian with anticipation and fantasy.
“If only Li Chengqian would take a fancy to me.”
“I really wish I can catch Li Chengqian’s eyes in the next second. I hope he will find me familiar. It’ll be great if he can remember me.” The girls in this grade were of the age that tended to fantasize. Many of them fantasized that they could interact with Li Chengqian and then have some unforgettable interactions with him.
The students of Grade 12 Class 5 were also sitting below the stage.
Everyone looked at Li Chengqian with envy.
“If I had known that Li Chengqian was so formidable, I would have built a good relationship with him.” Many people were regretful. If they could become good friends with Li Chengqian, they would basically be assured of a cushy life. They would never ever have to worry about money.
“If I had known that Li Chengqian was so formidable, I would have pursued him and treated him kindly and gently. I would have made him fall in love with me and not leave me for the rest of his life.” Many girls in Grade 12 Class 5 couldn’t help but feel bitter in their hearts. To be honest, they had never paid attention to Li Chengqian in the past.
Now, they were very regretful.
As long as one had any relationship with Li Chengqian, he would definitely not have to worry about money in this lifetime.
Jian Qingli sat quietly in the crowd with pride on her face. The smile on her face became wider especially after hearing all the comments around her.
“Although I’m only… his secret lover, at least I have some relationship with him.”
On the other hand, Ding Ling was smiling and looking at Li Chengqian on the stage. “Li Chengqian, I’m proud of you.”
Other than the students from the school, there were also teachers from other schools and people from other departments sitting below.
Everyone looked at Li Chengqian with envy in their eyes.
“Li Chengqian is only 18 years old, but he has already made so much money!”
“If only I were Li Chengqian, I wouldn’t ever work again!”
“Li Chengqian is so outstanding. If only he could take a fancy to my daughter. We won’t have to worry about anything for the rest of our lives.”
The award ceremony began under everyone’s watchful gaze.
“A while ago, something happened…” Director Guo started by talking about the situation. With his eloquence, it didn’t take long for him to explain the situation clearly.
“In order to commend the achievement, we hereby present Li Chengqian with the Provincial Medal of Courage!”
“Besides Li Chengqian, two other students were also involved. They are Ding Ling and Jian Qingli.”
“Although these two students are girls, they didn’t panic in the face of danger. They also played a huge role in this incident. Student Li Chengqian has asked me many times to give these two female students the awards.”
“After much deliberation, we’ve decided to give Ding Ling and Jian Qingli a City Medal. With this award, they would be able to add ten points to their university entrance examination.”
