"Congratulations to the host for completing the task, standing out at the school celebration. Reward: Completion of Level 1 Permission Task by 2%, and an item that the ancestor accidentally lost!" Creating such a sensation made completing the task naturally a simple matter. Fang Jueyu glanced sneakily at his movable independent space. Besides that small bottle, a historically marked ancient sword now appeared. "Why is it a sword?" Fang Jueyu was somewhat baffled. Nowadays, we live in a society governed by law. Any divine weapon or sharp tool might have lost its original meaning, right? At most, it would become a collectible displayed in his house. But Fang Jueyu did not know that this was not an ordinary sword! Now was not the time to study this sword, as Fang Jueyu had more important things to do. Two thousand students, hundreds of teachers, and various alumni awaited his speech. He boldly walked to the center of the podium, and all the outstanding alumni made room for him. Although Fang Jueyu was very young, this society valued qualifications and seniority, but mostly personal strength! "Fellow students, teachers, and alumni, good morning! My name is Fang Jueyu. Many of you might know me, as I'm the director of that infamous 'Dawn Mental Hospital' online!" "Hahahahaha!" The faculty and students burst into laughter. This joke instantly enlivened the otherwise stiff atmosphere at the event, making everyone feel that this billionaire alumnus, Fang Jueyu, was down-to-earth and quite humorous. Actually, Fang Jueyu had no real speech skills. This script was crafted by Xiao Yi based on the actual situation and Fang Jueyu's personal context. Fang Jueyu was just reading it out verbatim. "Some of you might be curious, how much am I truly worth? Why did I spend a fortune to donate one hundred million to my own school? Was it just to show off at this school celebration?" Fang Jueyu said. Indeed, many people thought this way. "But have you ever thought about what one hundred million can accomplish? Compared to being in the limelight for one morning, wouldn't it be better for me to spend this one hundred million on a few sports cars or some real estate?" "Wowo head buns are still one dollar for four. Wouldn't I get more praise if I spent this money on buying four billion wowo head buns and donating them to disaster-struck areas?" "Hahahahaha!" Fang Jueyu skillfully used a couple of jokes, amusing the students again. Yet, it was undeniable, he made a good point. Spending tens of thousands to show off might be deemed reasonable, but throwing one hundred million seemed unnecessary! "The reason I donated this money to the school is because Haihua Secondary School is my alma mater. I hope it grows into a renowned institution in Huaxia. I hope the school cultivates more outstanding students. You are proud of your alma mater now, and hopefully, your alma mater will be proud of you in the future!" ... Fang Jueyu's impassioned words received waves of applause. Even the alumni and teachers onstage couldn't help but clap. That phrase, "Your alma mater will be proud of you," truly struck a chord. Isn't this every school's and teacher's dream? "Actually, I was quite a mischievous student back then, and Principal Zhu can attest to this!" Fang Jueyu pointed to Zhu Ming beside him, who nodded with a playful, knowing smile. "But that doesn't mean anything. What's wrong with us young folks being a bit mischievous? As long as we don't do anything illegal or cause chaos, what's the difference? As long as you study well, challenge yourselves, and dare to innovate, nothing is impossible!" Fang Jueyu began to impart some motivational words. "Look at me, Principal Zhu used to drag me to meet my homeroom teacher several times, and now I've achieved a little, haven't I?" "Bah!" Jiang Yi showed a disdainful expression from the audience. If this counts as modest achievement, then there wouldn't be anyone successful in this world. "Finally, I sincerely invite all of you to intern at my company after graduating from high school. I am even willing to offer more opportunities after you graduate from college!" As soon as he said this, the students' eyes turned even more eager. Isn't finding a good job after graduation their dream? With such a skilled Fang alumnus, surely his industries span various fields, and he'd surely take care of his alma mater's students, right? "Lastly, on behalf of all the alumni, happy 70th anniversary to our alma mater!" "Clap, clap, clap!" Fang Jueyu's brilliant speech drew a thunderous applause from the audience. "Fooled, weren't they? All got fooled by me, right?" Fang Jueyu secretly chuckled in his heart. He truly said all those things just for formality. He was merely here to show off. That one hundred million, he'd earned it back by the time he finished speaking. Completing Xiao Yi's task was the most important thing. Yet, precisely because of his words, he elevated his moral character to a very high level. Zhu Ming and the others thought he genuinely loved his alma mater! Fang Jueyu watched the audience's reactions, thoroughly satisfied. He had no idea he had a knack for speeches! Unintentionally, he caught a glimpse of Sun Yuqi in the crowd from Class 6. She looked at him with a peculiar expression filled with complexity. Actually, the reason for her change of heart back then was simple, much simpler than Fang Jueyu could guess. It wasn't about affecting her studies; it was just that Fang Jueyu's appearance hadn't met her expectations, that's all! She never imagined the boy she once rejected had completely transformed. Not only did he now possess an enviable appearance, but also incomparable wealth. For a moment, she felt a sense of loss. "Thank you, Alumni Fang Jueyu, for your wonderful speech!" Zhu Ming once again stepped to the center of the podium, followed by two teachers holding red ribbons. "Now, we shall begin the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Child of the Sea Scholarship. We invite Alumni Fang Jueyu, as the founder, to cut the ribbon for the official establishment of the fund!" ... The school celebration lasted for three full hours before concluding. Originally, Zhu Ming wanted to invite Fang Jueyu and some school leaders and alumni for a meal, but he declined. Having left the school for three years, he hadn't tasted the school's cafeteria for those three years. Instead of a luxurious restaurant, he preferred to have a simple lunch with his former classmates in the cafeteria to reminisce about old times. Sun Xu, at some point, had slipped away dejectedly. With Fang Jueyu around, he would only overshadow him. Without the face to continue staying, he discreetly left. However, this suited the majority of the classmates. Instantly, the class's atmosphere became much more harmonious. "Didn't expect this, Fang Jueyu, after a few years, you've transformed into a tycoon!" Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yeah, when I saw it on Weibo, I couldn't believe it. It was really you!" "Didn't we say back then, if we get wealthy, we must not forget each other! After we graduate, take care of us a bit more!" "Alright, alright, our Dean Fang isn't that kind of person, right, Old Fang?" "Hahaha! Absolutely! By the way, next time you hold a raffle, let everyone know beforehand to pray to the koi!" His classmates didn't act restrained due to Fang Jueyu's changed status. Instead, everything was just like it used to be. Perhaps this is the pure essence of student-era friendship! Fang Jueyu laughed, laughing with true happiness!
