Chapter 352 Standing Upright

Because Li Dong had never participated in similar activities before, nor had a deep understanding of it, he was not very clear about the school celebration process.

When he first sat down, Li Dong hadn't sat still, he was ready to take the stage at any time.

But half an hour has passed since the welcome speech by the secretary of the school party committee was over, and the principal delivered a report on the theme of "Standing Together for Eighty Years in the Same Boat, All the Way to the Future".

After the two of them finished talking, Li Dong thought that he should be almost there.

But then someone came on stage again, and it was a foreigner who was introduced by the host. He was an academician from the American Academy of Sciences and a representative of a university that cooperated with Jiangda University.

They spoke English, and Li Dong couldn't understand a few words.

Although someone followed the translation, Li Dong was still a little drowsy.

The people next to him were obviously more experienced than Li Dong, and they obviously knew this would happen a long time ago. They seemed to be full of energy, but in fact they had already lost their minds.

Probably because he sensed Li Dong's visit, Chen Lang, who hadn't communicated with Li Dong before, suddenly said in a low voice: "Li Dong's younger brother, rest up first, don't fall asleep when you are here."

Li Dong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you senior for your concern, I won't."

Chen Lang smiled slightly, and continued: "Don't worry, it's still early for you. Next, there will be speeches from professors from domestic partner universities, speeches from guest representatives, congratulatory letters from domestic and foreign cooperative enterprises and units, and speeches from alumni representatives. The teacher representative will give a speech, and then it will be your turn."

The corner of Li Dong's mouth twitched, it seemed that he was still a little tender, this kind of thing should have been thought of long ago.

For Chen Lang's reminder, Li Dong smiled and nodded his thanks.

Because on the high stage, thousands of people watched, Li Dong didn't say much.

However, Chen Lang probably sat a little bored, or felt that no one could hear what he said, so he had nothing to say: "Li Dong, I heard that you were injured two days ago, are you okay?"

Li Dong thought about it for a while, and then said: "It's just a little skin trauma, and the outside world is just spreading rumors and exaggerating."

"That's good!" Chen Lang seemed relieved, and sighed again: "Business is like this, it's not easy for anyone. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Li Xuedi has been too popular this year, so he just took this opportunity to It’s good to keep a low profile for a while.”

Li Dong felt that there was something in his words,

Smiling slightly, he said, "Thank you Senior Chen for your warning, I will pay attention next time."

Chen Lang smiled, didn't answer any more questions, and just wandered off on his own.

Li Dong frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything. He looked towards the front of the stage, but his eyes were not focused, and he was thinking about his own affairs.

...

After another half an hour, all those who should speak in front have finished speaking.

When the host reported Li Dong's name, there was a burst of cheers from the audience.

Compared with the clichés of those professors and academicians, these students obviously hope to hear a few words from Li Dong, after all, Li Dong and them are the same age.

Moreover, Li Dong is known as one of the leading figures born in the 1980s. In just two years, he has built the largest retail overlord group in Jiangbei.

Few of the students of Jiang University have never heard of Li Dong. Whether it is the seniors who are about to graduate, or the juniors who have just entered the school, they all hope to get something from Li Dong.

Li Dong, who was dressed in a suit, quickly walked up to the front desk and bowed slightly to the audience.

The students cheered one after another, and the school leaders who got involved looked at each other in blank dismay, completely unexpected that this would be the case.

Li Dong on the stage picked up the microphone, cleared his throat and began to say: "Respected leaders, ladies and gentlemen, dear brothers and sisters, teachers and classmates..."

...

Li Dong's speech was actually not much different from the previous ones, but the students in the audience still listened with great interest.

As for the guests on stage, they didn't pay much attention to Li Dong's speech, and they paid more attention to Li Dong.

They knew that Li Dong would not make any unexpected speeches during this school celebration speech.

After all, the people who came today included domestic and foreign guests, as well as provincial leaders, and big names in academia. If Li Dong said something surprising at this time, he would be really stupid.

If one fails, the hat of sensationalism will have to be put on Li Dong's head.

Originally, Li Dong was on the cusp of the storm, but at this time it was naturally mediocre, a mature entrepreneur would not talk nonsense at this time.

Sure enough, there was nothing surprising about Li Dong's next speech.

Maybe the media and students will feel a little disappointed, but these guests on the rostrum nodded slightly.

No matter what you think about Li Dong, whether you know him or not, after all, you are an alumni of the same school, and everyone still has good intentions.

As long as he was in Jiangbei these days, he knew that this little junior had been caught in a storm of public opinion recently. At this time, Li Dong chose to keep a low profile, which was what they wanted to see.

...

on the rostrum.

Everyone was also whispering about Li Dong.

From the beginning of the ceremony, Minister Zhang, who had not spoken much, suddenly smiled and said to Secretary Wu next to him: "Old Wu, how do you feel?"

Secretary Wu smiled lightly and said, "It's okay."

Minister Zhang frowned slightly, and smiled again: "It's better to be young. Seeing the high spirits of the elementary school students, I really feel that we are old."

Secretary Wu didn't make a sound, and after a while, he said calmly: "A tree is as beautiful as a forest, and the wind will destroy it!"

Minister Zhang's face changed slightly, and then he returned to his original state and said, "Old Wu, we are old, and we don't understand the thoughts of young people now. I don't know if it is said that the wood is better than the forest, and our elementary school students are not like that." A high-profile person."

Secretary Wu laughed, but refused to answer.

Minister Zhang is his old school friend. The two have been dealing with each other for decades, so he naturally understands what the other party is thinking.

Minister Zhang's political views have always been close to Secretary Du's. Taking the opportunity of this school celebration, to give Li Dong a favor is what Minister Zhang is willing to do.

Wu Changguo is the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. The reason why Minister Zhang told him so much this time is that it has something to do with the two recent shootings.

Even though Li Dong thought he did everything perfectly, Feng Jinsong's death should have nothing to do with him.

But this world will never lack smart people. Feng Jinsong's death is just a prelude. After some in-depth investigation, many useful things have been derived from it.

For example, the downfall of the Feng family, the death of Feng Bin, and even Zhu Hongtao's accidental turning into a vegetable before, and the Xincheng land incident that has passed since last time.

Because well-known entrepreneurs like Li Dong were involved, and even high-level officials of Pingchuan, Qingyang, and Su'an municipal committees were involved, these cases were finally handed over to the provincial department.

The government's business is not a secret. Li Dong was secretly investigated, and almost all the top provincial party committee members knew about it.

The outside world has been rumoring that Li Dong and Secretary Du have a close relationship, so this matter has become a little complicated.

The reason why Minister Zhang said what he said before was because he wanted to make Wu Changguo's major incident smaller. After all, he had a pretty good relationship with Wu Changguo, and he was Secretary Du's right-hand man.

Although Secretary Du didn't say anything, Minister Zhang still hoped that Li Dong's case would not be implicated in Secretary Du as much as possible.

Even if Secretary Du was not involved, once Li Dong was investigated, the impact on Secretary Du would not be very good.

And these few cases, if they really had nothing to do with Li Dong, it was just a matter of Wu Changguo's words. After all, Li Dong didn't leave any obvious clues.

Wu Changguo advocated the investigation of Li Dong, which in Minister Zhang's view was a bit of a fuss.

Because of Wu Changguo's silence, Minister Zhang didn't speak again, he just mentioned it, and it seemed that he was a little too attentive.

Looking up at Li Dong who was summarizing his speech, Minister Zhang shook his head invisibly, hoping that this elementary school boy can pass the test smoothly.

Otherwise, if it involves mutilation and murder, this famous elementary school boy in Jiangbei will probably be imprisoned.

...

After Li Dong finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience.

The students were very interested. Although Li Dong didn't say anything useful, everyone didn't care too much and just joined in the fun.

Li Dong returned to his seat, and the school celebration ceremony continued.

The school celebration activities in the morning were lackluster. In fact, there was nothing interesting. Some real cultural performances and other activities will be held in the evening. In the evening, Jiangda will also have a cultural performance.

However, there will be fewer guests participating at that time, mainly students, and most of the others will leave after the morning activities.

The school celebration ceremony lasted until almost twelve o'clock, and the final ceremony came to an end with Jiang University's school song.

As soon as the ceremony was over, the school organized the guests to have dinner.

However, some people left as soon as the event was over because they still had other things to do.

Minister Zhang and Secretary Wu are representatives of these people. They passed by Li Dong when they left. Minister Zhang smiled at Li Dong and said nothing.

However, Wu Changguo stopped in his footsteps for a moment, and looked at Li Dongdao: "Student Li Dong, as a senior, we can meet here today, and I want to send you a message."

Upon hearing this, Li Dong hurriedly said, "Secretary Wu, please tell me."

Wu Changguo hesitated a little, but finally said: "Not many words, only four words-be upright! You are still young, and it will be good for you to experience more tempering. Read more books when you have free time. Tao I am not qualified to teach you, the rest is nothing more than the heart, the heart is upright, the body is upright..."

Speaking of this, Wu Changguo probably realized that he was talking too much, paused, nodded to Li Dong, and strode away.

But Minister Zhang's eyes moved slightly, and he didn't communicate with Li Dongduo, and left with a chuckle.

Li Dong, who stayed where he was, frowned slightly, still thinking about what Wu Changguo said just now, "Stand upright", Wu Changguo deliberately told himself that this would definitely not be aimless.

Thinking that Li Dong probably understood the meaning of his words, he felt both fortunate and helpless.

In fact, Wu Changguo was able to say this to himself, and it was already a little bit of a shallow conversation.

If it weren't for the anniversary of Jiang University today, and Wu Changguo's role as a senior today, he would definitely not have said such things to himself.

Li Dongchang let out a breath, it seems that he was too naive before.

If you want people not to know, unless you do nothing yourself.

There is no such thing as an impenetrable force in the world. If you go astray again and again, sooner or later, you will be lost forever.

It's good to wake up in time now, Li Dong is not deeply involved, even if he finds something, it will not have a great impact on Li Dong.

But just because it's okay this time doesn't mean it's okay next time. My identity is different now, and my vision is indeed narrower.

Thinking of Wu Changguo finally asking him to read more books, Li Dong felt quite reasonable.

Reading makes people enlightened. I don’t lack anything materially, but I still can’t keep up with the spiritual level. It seems that I will buy a few more books later.

Just as Li Dong was thinking about something, Chen Lang at the side came over and said, "Mr. Li, do you have time to talk tonight?"

Li Dong glanced at him, nodded and said, "Yes, I also want to chat with Mr. Chen."

Chen Lang smiled slightly and was about to speak when a group of reporters rushed up from the audience.

When these people saw Chen Lang and Li Dong chatting together, their eyes lit up immediately, and someone immediately asked: "Mr. Li, Mr. Chen, you two are both alumni and competitors in your career. What do you think about today's meeting?" How do you feel?"

"Mr. Li, Mr. Chen, are you talking here about cooperation?"

"Mr. Chen, I heard that China Resources is preparing to enter Jiangbei. Does this mean that China Resources will soon go head-to-head with a distant place, or that the two parties will cooperate, or even merge?"

...

The crowd surrounded Chen Lang and Li Dong, and they couldn't get out for a while.

These reporters have long held back. Before Li Dong came to the stage to speak, he hardly said anything useful. Everyone was a little disappointed.

But now everyone is not disappointed. Regardless of whether Li Dong and Chen Lang answered their questions today, it will be much easier to report back.

The CEO of China Resources had a secret talk with the CEO of Yuanfang!

China Resources entered Jiangbei and reached a consensus with Yuanfang, and the two sides are about to carry out in-depth cooperation...

There is also the relationship between the two, which is also worthy of their special writing. The alumni of the same school, even the students of the same major, the 20-year-old Jiang University elite and the 20-year-old Jiang University elite collide with each other, what can be written There are too many things.

Some people with poisonous eyes even saw Wu Changguo talking with Li Dong.

Although officials at Wu Changguo's level cannot report indiscriminately, they can play around a little bit, and that is also a news report that attracts people's attention.

Everyone was in high spirits, wishing they could go back and report on it right away.

But now everyone is still waiting for the master to speak. If Li Dong and Chen Lang reveal a few inside information, the report will be more interesting.
