Ding Yue handed over the cash prize to Tian Jinliang, Peng Hui, Wang Xiaoping, and Chu Xiao.
When these four initially heard Principal Ding announce that the whole school would comnd them, they were already very excited. Now, with the addition of the award money from Principal Ding, they didn’t know what to say.
"Principal Ding, this money, we... we can’t accept it. This ti we only visited the Huangcheng Forest Farm, and the ultimate exposure was due to your and the school’s efforts,"
Tian Jinliang shook his head, declining the school’s recognition prize money.
The other three basically felt the sa way.
They knew that the school giving them the chance to visit this ti was already quite good and that the news exposure of the Huangcheng Forest Farm incident was largely due to Principal Ding and the school’s significant efforts. Otherwise, the press releases they wrote after their visit and interviews would not have been published or even known by more people.
"No, no, no,"
Ding Yue smiled and said, "Without you all, how could there have been news about the Huangcheng Forest Farm? Moreover, this recognition bonus comnds you for adhering to the bottom line and being steadfast and fearless in your news reporting."
Upon hearing this, the four hesitated for a mont.
"Accept it,"
Ding Yue continued with a smile. "The school especially provided this prize money, it’s pretty rare."
Generally speaking, as long as students have made "ritorious" contributions to the school, Ding Yue certainly wouldn’t be stingy with prize money.
Tian Jinliang and the others had made quite a comndable contribution to the journalism major of Mist City Arts and Science University during the "Huangcheng Forest Farm" incident, and by holding a school-wide comndation eting, they could also pass on the spirit.
After this incident, the journalism major of Mist City Arts and Science University had made a na for itself.
Ding Yue guessed that by next September, the journalism major at Mist City Arts and Science University would welco even more determined College Entrance Examination graduates with dreams of becoming journalists and pursuing news.
"Well, okay then, thank you, Principal Ding."
After hesitating a mont, Tian Jinliang made the decision to accept the recognition prize money rewarded by Principal Ding.
"Thank you, Principal Ding."
The other three also promptly expressed their gratitude.
"Alright, you all go and get ready," Ding Yue nodded and said.
Soon after.
The ti approached half-past five in the afternoon.
Over at the Central Sports Ground, more than fifty thousand freshn undergoing military training were assembled here, filling the vast playground with densely packed university students.
If soone with a fear of crowds saw this scene, they would probably be scared to death.
The Central Sports Ground of Mist City Arts and Science University, compared to ordinary sports grounds, is much larger, with a naturally higher capacity, as it was designed and built to match the scale of the Bird-Nest in Yancheng.
In addition, students from the second and third years also received notifications from counselors of various departnts and majors that at half-past five this afternoon, the school would conduct a school-wide comndation broadcast.
Students at Mist City Arts and Science University all knew that the upcoming school-wide comndation broadcast was definitely to comnd several students from the journalism major.
This was a good thing.
Without those few from the journalism major stepping forward, there wouldn’t be the success of today in the Huangcheng Forest Farm news incident.
Furthermore, teachers and students from the whole school participated in the Huangcheng Forest Farm news incident this ti, even if it was just a share, a like, or a comnt to boost visibility, but that was genuine participation.
So.
Most of the students will choose to listen seriously to today’s school-wide comndation broadcast.
At this mont, on the stage at the Central Sports Ground.
Ding Yue, all dressed up, stood on stage, in front of a broadcasting microphone, with the staff having adjusted it for a school-wide broadcast.
The red banner on the stage read — [2021 Freshn Military Training Performance Evening and Journalism Major Comndation Conference].
"Huh-huh."
Suddenly, a microphone check sound ca through the school-wide broadcast.
"Hello, students."
And then.
Ding Yue’s voice rang out.
That familiar voice of Principal Ding, known to all teachers and students, had once again resounded through the school’s broadcasting system.
For the freshn, it seed that the last ti they heard Principal Ding speak was not long ago at the Ceremony and Military Training Mobilization eting.
Today was the Military Training Performance Evening, and also a comndation assembly, and Principal Ding was going to give another speech.
"Today, by taking advantage of the opportunity of our school’s Freshn Military Training Performance Evening, we’ve convened this all-school comndation assembly, mainly to comnd several of our journalism students."
Ding Yue began to speak.
After getting through the preliminary niceties, Big White’s voice started coming through the earpiece.
As Ding Yue hadn’t had enough ti to morize the prepared speech due to ti constraints, he let Big White relay it to him in real-ti through the earpiece, which allowed him to simply read it verbatim.
"We must learn from Tian Jinliang and others the spirit of adhering to bottom lines and being brave and fearless, to be able to hold our heads high in our own fields and future careers ..."
When Ding Yue reached this part of his speech, a wave of applause "whooshed" forth from the audience.
After all, the students all knew that Principal Ding hoped they would beco like Tian Jinliang and others, or at least learn from their spirit.
Students of Mist City Arts and Science University were all aware of sothing, which was that journalism students like Tian Jinliang, while reporting on the Huangcheng Forest Farm, faced the temptation of substantial rewards offered by Jiangjiu Group.
However, Tian Jinliang and the others held to their journalistic integrity, refused the substantial benefits, and exposed the Huangcheng Forest Farm news incident.
"For this reason, I have decided to award Tian Jinliang, Chu Xiao, Wang Xiaoping, Peng Hui, and others with a school comndation bonus of fifty thousand yuan each!"
Whoosh!
When Ding Yue announced that the school was awarding each student a bonus of fifty thousand yuan, the students once again erupted in thunderous applause.
Principal Ding was a genuine person.
He didn’t hesitate to offer bonuses, and the students particularly appreciated such tangible rewards from Principal Ding!
Unlike other colleges, where a simple verbal comndation or a certificate would suffice, always dealing with pointless formalities, cash rewards were much more substantial!
It took about ten minutes or so.
Principal Ding’s comndation assembly speech had co to an end amidst waves of thunderous applause from the students.
Then.
The Director of the Cultural and Sports Departnt, Xiong Yang, announced the beginning of tonight’s Military Training Performance Evening.
More and more sophomores and juniors began to arrive at the Central Sports Ground, ready to check out this year’s performance by the freshn undergoing military training.
Such military training performances were generally a great opportunity for freshn to showcase their talents.
Whether it was dancing, singing, or performing other acts.
As for why the sophomores and juniors ca over to "join in the fun," one reason was "tradition," after all, during last year’s performance, upper-class students had also co.
The second reason was.
This year’s freshn class had over fifty thousand students, and among them, there was no lack of attractive younger male and female students.
Single junior girls ca for the fresh young guys.
Single senior boys, on the other hand, ca for the pretty younger girls; furthermore, it was said that Mist City Arts and Science University students had, as usual, organized a contest for the school beauty and campus hunk, though the voting was still underway.
A few first-year girls with high votes in the beauty contest were scheduled to perform at tonight’s performance evening.
"Principal Ding, our Military Training Performance Evening for the freshn is about to start. There are quite a number of acts this year; would you like to watch?"
Xiong Yang, the Director of the Cultural and Sports Departnt, said to Principal Ding with a smile.
"Sure."
Ding Yue nodded, imdiately agreeing.
It was because Ding Yue has browsed through the school’s forum and saw that the first-year students were voting for the new school beauty and hunk, and it was said that so of the girls on the beauty list would be performing this evening.
As the principal.
Of course, he had to see for himself how the talent level of the school’s freshn perford; it wasn’t because he wanted to watch the pretty school beauties...
