Lin Xiaoqing thought for a mont and said, "It seems like it was ntioned, I rember there was a speech during senior year of high school!"
"At that ti, Zhao Yi, you spoke really well!" Zhao Linlin also nodded excitedly, "I rember it clearly, you said if your studies were poor, you must study hard."
"Poor studies? Study hard? Okay," Zhao Yi felt sowhat helpless, rembering that it had been an impromptu speech, and he had forgotten what he had said.
They continued walking inside.
The second photo was from the Youth Cup awards, definitely a very interesting mory. The photo included Zhao Yi and Lin Xiaoqing, as well as Sun Jiali, He Rong, Sun Li, and Sun Liang. Zhao Yi looked at it for a long ti, pointed at He Ronghua, and said, "This is He Ronghua, right? I’m reminded of the Youth Cup again, it was really fun."
Lin Xiaoqing also thought of He Ronghua, and then couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Zhao Linlin was sowhat puzzled.
Lin Xiaoqing said, "Linlin, you don’t know, back then He Ronghua was the one dragging us down in the competition, too scared to stand up and answer questions, and for every question he attempted, he got it wrong. If it weren’t for him, winning first place would have been easier."
"I wonder what He Ronghua is up to these days," Zhao Yi sighed.
"Teacher!"
"Teacher?"
Zhao Linlin nodded, "He’s now a teacher, teaching middle school."
"Oh, that does seem quite suitable," Zhao Yi made a brief comnt and then stepped forward, continuing to walk on. Soon enough, they saw under a glass cover, several well-preserved books. The books appeared sowhat worn, but one could still recognize them as high school textbooks and workbooks.
Among them, two had been flipped to the last page, where it was written, "It doesn’t matter if the book is old, what’s important is to rember its content."
"--Wang Chengmin and Li Lisheng."
"You’ve already read through this book. Co to the office in the afternoon, I will tutor you."
"--Wang Chengmin and Li Lisheng."
"--?"
Zhao Yi’s mind was a bit muddled as he carefully recalled, when did his studies have anything to do with Wang Chengmin and Li Lisheng?
This was strange!
...
Li Lisheng had arrived.
Now, Li Lisheng was the principal of Thirteenth High, with the forr principal Wang Chengmin having been promoted to work in the education bureau, reputedly achieving great success and looking to advance further—a truly thriving career.
Li Lisheng wasn’t doing badly either.
As the principal of Thirteenth High, having taken over Wang Chengmin’s position, being promoted directly from head of the departnt to principal was a very rare occurrence.
This was mainly due to the school having cultivated Zhao Yi.
At least, that’s how the higher-ups saw it.
Since taking office, Li Lisheng had accomplished a lot, such as the major changes in the campus, which were all funded through grants he had applied for.
Li Lisheng considered himself a good principal, able to hold his head high outside the school gates, but right now all he wanted to do was lower his head, even regretting not making an excuse to slip away.
Zhao Yi had arrived.
This should have been a very good thing, but then Zhao Yi went to the Thirteenth High exhibition hall and saw those books...
Li Lisheng felt like vomiting blood, especially because of those few sentences written in them.
Facing Zhao Yi’s puzzled gaze, Li Lisheng wished he could just crawl into a hole. In the end, he could only squeeze out a wry smile, "Haha, Academician Zhao, welco to your alma mater for a visit!"
"Thirteenth High producing a genius like you, it truly is a great honor!"
"..."
An awkward silence.
Sweat was beading on Li Lisheng’s forehead, and he could only continue to speak stiffly, "Academician Zhao!"
"Just call Zhao Yi!"
"Zhao Yi! It’s like this, we’ve set up this exhibition hall so that students can co to view it, to encourage them to study hard, with the goal of becoming a national swimming prodigy like you!"
"That’s why we opened this exhibition hall, Zhao Yi, surely you hope..."
"Blah, blah, blah~~"
Li Lisheng went on and on.
With a touch of gloominess, Zhao Yi shook his head but still said, "Let’s do this, remove these books. As for the rest, I won’t interfere."
"This exhibition hall, I don’t know about it, but you can use my na, and I can donate so things, but you mustn’t insert any personal agendas."
"Okay, okay, okay! We’ll do as you say, as you say!" Li Lisheng quickly nodded in agreent, relieved in his heart and resolved to cherish those books at ho after taking them down.
Although Zhao Yi was definitely dissatisfied, in reality, these items could be passed down to future generations, treasures of great collectible value!
...
Zhao Yi wasn’t concerned with Li Lisheng’s ulterior motives; his main dissatisfaction was with the exhibition hall ’inserting personal agendas.’
But the establishnt of the exhibition hall was mainly for students and parents to visit, and he indeed had beco a ’role model’ to be emulated. Setting up an exhibition hall in the place where he once studied, to encourage students to study hard, was also quite normal.
After leaving the exhibition hall, Zhao Yi’s mood improved a lot, acting as if the previous incidents hadn’t occurred.
Li Lisheng was also a forr teacher; although the impression he left was diocre, it had to be admitted that Li Lisheng was a very good teacher with strong educational abilities, working with the students and school’s interest in mind.
The changes in the school evidenced this, his work was comndable.
Zhao Yi toured the school’s newly built gym, dormitories, and canteen, as well as walked around the teaching building, eting a few familiar teachers, spending ti talking and chatting with them.
When it was ti to leave, he decided to donate one million RMB to the school for the maintenance, care, and the cost of activities for the facilities inside the school.
"The sports field should be open when it’s supposed to be open, and the sa for the soccer field. The students shouldn’t be kept from playing soccer because of maintenance costs."
