第三十七章有備而來

校慶日.

曙光中學成了盛典的海洋.

就像是校園慶典開放日一樣,各個班級都有自己的節目和活動,都是由學生自己組織的,恐怖屋,咖啡廳,茶藝室,各種各樣,形形色色…教學樓彷彿變成了熱鬧的商業街.

慶典的主會場,是在萬人大操場,人頭攢動,原本講話的主席臺被打造成了大型舞臺,臺上表演着娛樂節目.

School anniversary.

Dawn Middle School had become a vast ocean.

Just like a school open house, each cla.s.s had their own programs and activities, organized by the students themselves. Haunted houses, cafes, tea appreciation rooms, all kinds and shapes… The cla.s.sroom block was changed into a bustling business district.

The main venue of the anniversary was the field which fit 10,000. The crowd’s heads bobbed. Formerly a podium and stage, it had been reconstructed into a large dance stage, where various entertainment programs ensued.

表演者並不都是學生,還有着許多知名的藝人表演家,都是曙光中學出去的學生.

百年名校,桃李天下,這句話,可不是空口白講的.

王錚,嚴小穌和葉紫蘇三人,也是早早的到了場,看着母校的大門,嚴小穌搖搖頭,有點感嘆,”嘖,看到校門,還真有點想體育老師了,真是母校虐我千百遍,我愛母校如初戀.”

在曙光中學,大塊頭留着大鬍子的體育老師同時兼任紀律糾風,不是很喜歡遵守校規的嚴同學,沒少被大鬍子抓住給教育,當時簡直就是恨得不行,現在回想起來,卻是濃濃的想念了,人的感情還真怪.

Not all of the performers were students. Many were famous artistes and entertainers, former alumni of the school.

A famous 100-year school whose influence had rippled through the world. This phrase was not hollow flattery.

w.a.n.g Zheng, Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu had arrived early. Staring at their alma mater’s main gate, Yan Xiaosu had shaken his head, sighing. “Haiz, looking at the school gate, I think of our Physical Education teacher. Those were some tough times, but I love the school like a first love.”

At Dawn Middle School, the PE teacher was broad shouldered and sported a beard. He concurrently held the role of Discipline Master, and only the most rule-abiding of students could claim to have avoided being hauled up by Beardie for some discipline. At that time, they had detested him, but now thinking back, they were nostalgic. Human emotion was a strange thing.

先是逛了學生們組織的活動室,很有意思,居然有個班級弄了個遊戲室,還是最復古的街機遊戲…

玩得很開心,主要是很放鬆,三個人很久沒有這麼輕鬆過了,最重要是,嚴小穌和葉紫蘇好久沒見王錚這麼放鬆了,似乎放下所有煩心的事兒,兩人更是樂得陪他熱鬧.

嚴小穌如願以償得見到了大塊頭的體育老師,現在已經是訓導主任了,穿着筆挺的西裝,滿臉春風的迎了過來,”嚴小穌,葉紫蘇,還有王錚,你們三個終於來了.”

First, they explored the students’ activity rooms. Many were interesting, and one cla.s.s even made a game lab, with the most complex, ancient street machines…

They were really enjoying themselves and feeling relaxed. All 3 had not felt relaxed in a long while. Most importantly, Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu had not seen w.a.n.g Zheng so relaxed in a long while, as though he had put down all his cares and worries. Both were more than happy to accompany him and enjoy themselves.

Yan Xiaosu got his wish of meeting the hulking PE teacher, who had now become the Head Teacher, wearing a crisp business suit. He came over with a warm expression to welcome them. “Yan Xiaosu, Ye Zisu, and w.a.n.g Zheng. The 3 of you have finally come.”

王錚和葉紫蘇都是笑着叫夏老師.

“夏老師好.”嚴小穌就挺直了腰,滿臉笑容,”還是要叫夏主任好?”

“貧嘴,一點都沒變.”

夏傅搏就帶着三人來到內廳,很顯然,嚴小穌和葉紫蘇在學校都是榜上有名的,纔會有訓導主任親自來請.

內廳和外面完全不一樣了,很明顯,是用來招待特別人士的.

慶典是所有校友的慶典,但是,真正的核心,還是在這個不大不小的內廳宴會.

w.a.n.g Zheng and Ye Zisu smilingly greeted Teacher Xia.

“h.e.l.lo Teacher Xia.” Yan Xiaosu straightened himself, all smiles. “Or should I call you Head Teacher Xia?”

“s.h.i.+tty mouth, never changes.”

Xia Fubo ushered the 3 into the inner hall. Clearly, Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu were famous in the school, to be personally attended to by the head teacher.

The inner hall was completely different from the outside. Clearly, it was for receiving special guests.

The anniversary was for all the school alumni, but the real core was at the modestly sized inner hall banquet.

在之前的同學會也說明過了,大家都心知肚明,誰都能來,只是進來的條件是捐助學校一萬銀河幣的助學捐款,學校要在百年名校的行列當中發展壯大,師資,新的教學設施等等,僅僅依靠學生的學費顯然入不敷出,向成功校友募捐纔是大頭.

曙光中學百年的底蘊也是很有份量的,內廳中人不少,其樂融融,大家也很樂意在母校的召喚下,做點貢獻的同時,拓寬自己的人脈關係網,大家都是成功人士,又是校友,以前是沒機會認識,現在的認識就是未來的機會.

葉紫蘇和嚴小穌兩人很受大家追捧,OMG自不用說,在太陽系的地位,已經是牢不可破,小福星公司也藉着空間項目的東風,錢是真的賺得盆滿鉢滿,而且小福星正在轉型,最近計劃不斷,更是收購了幾家小有名氣的生活用品公司,商品開始從單一的衛生巾轉型爲多元化的產品陣線.

They had said as much at the previous student gathering, and everybody tacitly knew. Anybody could come, as long as they donated the 10,000 dollars to the school a.s.sistance fund. To enter the ranks of a century-old elite school, teachers, new facilities etc. could not be sustained by school fees alone. The school alumni donations were a huge source of income.

Dawn Middle School’s 100 year’s meaning was noteworthy. The inner hall was sufficiently crowded with people enjoying themselves. At the same time that they were contributing to their alma mater, they were also broadening their relations.h.i.+p networks. Everyone here was successful and also an alumni. Even if they had never known each other in the past, getting acquainted now meant more opportunities in the future.

Ye Zisu and Yan Xiaosu were sought after by many. OMG needed no introduction. In the Solar System, its position was already immovable. Little Lucky Star company had also ridden the coattails of the s.p.a.ce program, and earned a mountain of profit. And Little Lucky Star was currently restructuring. The plans came non-stop, and they had even bought a few small but reputable everyday product companies, changing their product line from sanitary products to a larger range of general products.

相較之下,和王錚打招呼的人,就沒有那麼的熱情勁了,在世人眼中,KING宇宙空間科技公司的第一股東是肖菲,雖然坊間也有些傳聞說第一股東其實另有他人,但誰都不知道,也不會去相信,未來可以改變人類改變銀河命運的大公司的真正BOSS會是一個今年纔讀大二的年輕人.

校長齊洛陽是個很有手腕的人,人羣當中左右逢源,這次聚會,來的可不全是年輕人,十幾二十年前畢業的老校友,現在正是身居要位,掌控社會的主流精英,其中不乏政府要員.

正是得意之時,就看到葉紫蘇和嚴小穌進來,便帶着一名年輕人走了過去,人未至,聲先到,”哈哈,嚴先生,葉小姐,歡迎歡迎啊!”

In comparison, those who greeted w.a.n.g Zheng were less warm. In the average person’s eyes, KING universe s.p.a.ce technology company’s number one stock was Xiao Fei. Although there were some whispers in the streets that the key was actually someone else, but n.o.body knew more, and they did not believe it either. Could someone responsible for changing humanity and the fate of a huge company like BOSS be someone in their second year of university?

The princ.i.p.al Qi Luoyang was a resourceful man. He worked the crowd, making connections left and right. At this reunion, it was not only the youthful crowd that came. Even those that had graduated 10 or 20 years earlier had come. They were now the mainstream elite in the key positions to control society, and numbered many government officials as well.

It was indeed a proud moment. Just then, he saw Ye Zisu and Yan Xiaosu enter, accompanied by a young man who he did not know. He called out “Haha, Mr Yan, Ms Ye, welcome, welcome!”

“齊校長,我們可是您的學生,您叫我們名字就行了,先生小姐的,捧殺人啊.”嚴小穌連忙叫道.

“哈哈,你們還認我是校長,那我也就不客氣了,小穌啊,你們能來,我很高興,來,和你們介紹一位朋友,和你們年齡差不多,凱爾.門特先生,月球最大生活用品公司狄安娜集團理事,凱爾門特先生是個非常重視教育的慈善家,這次百年校慶的所有花費,也都是由狄安娜集團資助.”看得出來,齊洛陽非常重視這個凱爾門特,介紹得非常的鄭重.

王錚明顯感覺到嚴小穌臉色變了變,狄安娜他自然也知道,是太陽系最大的日用品公司,涵蓋廣泛.

“Princ.i.p.al Qi, we’re your students. Just call us by name please. Mr and Ms… no need for such pedestals.” Yan Xiaosu quickly replied.

“Haha, you still treat me as princ.i.p.al. In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony. Xiaosu, I’m really happy that you all could make it. Come, let me introduce you to a friend. He’s about the same age. Mr Kyle Ment, the director of Diana Group, the largest everyday products company on the Moon. Mr Kyle Ment is a philanthropist who really values education. All the expenses for this 100-year anniversary are sponsored by the Diana Group.” Clearly, Qi Luoyang held this Kyle Ment in the highest esteem, introducing him with special deference.

w.a.n.g Zheng clearly saw Yan Xiaosu’s face change. He naturally had heard of Diana, the biggest daily product company on Earth, their range prodigious.

“凱爾.門特先生,這幾位,都是我們曙光中學畢業的天驕,這位是葉紫蘇,OMG的大設計師,風神機甲的主設計師,這位,是小福星公司的嚴小穌,這位是王錚,了不起啊,大學生科技貢獻獎得主,狠狠地爲咱們學校爭了一把光,你們都是年輕人,多聊聊,我這個老頭子,就不打擾你們年輕人的世界了.”

齊洛陽說了些場面話,就滿面春風的又去迎接其他貴客了,年輕人的場合,他就負責一個介紹搭橋,何況還是凱爾.門特的請求.

凱爾門特自動過濾了王錚和嚴小穌,直奔葉紫蘇,”葉小姐的風神機甲,可是我們太陽系的驕傲,仰慕已久,這次能見到葉小姐,實在是幸會.”

“Mr Kyle Ment, these few are our pride and joy who have graduated from Dawn Middle School. This is Ye Zisu, an important architect behind OMG, and also the main architect of Wind G.o.d mecha. This, is Little Lucky Star’s Yan Xiaosu, and this is w.a.n.g Zheng. Admirable! To have won a Scientific Contribution Prize as a university student, and secured glory for our school. You lot are all youngsters, please do chat more. An old windbag like myself won’t bother your conversation.”

Having said that, Qi Luoyang left, all radars scanning for the next honored guest to welcome. In a situation full of youngsters, he simply served as a bridge. Besides, this was Kyle Ment’s request.

Kyle Ment automatically ignored w.a.n.g Zheng and Yan Xiaosu, directly gunning for Ye Zisu. “Ms Ye’s Wind G.o.d mecha is the pride and joy of the Solar System. I have been an admirer for a long time. To be able to see Ms Ye today, it is indeed a fortunate day for me.”

葉紫蘇淡淡一笑,”凱爾.門特先生過譽了,我其實還只是個學生,倒是凱爾.門特先生,這麼年輕就能成爲狄安娜集團的理事,纔是真正讓人讚歎的事情.”

說着不動聲色把手抽出來,對方還一副戀戀不捨的樣子,嚴小穌已經有點想踹對方了.

“叫我凱爾就行.”凱爾門特看着葉紫蘇,越看,越覺得心癢,這次資助曙光中學百年校慶,就狄安娜集團而言,是爲了徹底壟斷亞洲區市場而做的先期準備,藉着這次曙光百年校慶,整個上京都會知道月球狄安娜生活用品集團,但就凱爾.門特來說,這只是個小場面,哪兒需要他出面,他的目的只有一個——葉紫蘇!

Ye Zisu smiled mildly in response. “Mr Kyle Ment is too generous in his praise. I am just a student. Besides, Mr Kyle Ment should be the one to have his praises sung, to have made it to Director of Diana Group at such a young age.”

Saying that, she abruptly retracted her hand, although the other party seemed unwilling to let go. Yan Xiaosu already wanted to kick him.

“Just call me Kyle.” Kyle Ment kept looking at Ye Zisu. The more he looked, the more he felt his heart itch. Sponsoring Dawn Middle School’s 100 year anniversary this time round had been the offer of the Diana Group, a preemptive move for the complete monopolization of the Asian market. Borrowing Dawn’s 100 year anniversary, the entire elite would know of the Diana group. But to Kyle Ment, this was but a small stage which did not require his presence. His aim here was singular – Ye Zisu!
