Chapter 931
The venue was the largest outdoor athletic field of Zhongnan University. It was actually said to be a freshman ceremony, but it was a speech conference for Li Linfei, only that there would be some performances by sophomore and junior students after his speech.
On the scene, not only the 3,000 or so freshmen of Zhongnan University, but also the sophomores and juniors, all came, plus the outside media and many invited and uninvited people, amounting to 10,000 to 20,000 people.
As Li Linfei and Xi Changlin passed by, many of the students recognised Li Linfei as he had changed his clothes to his normal appearance, and there was a lot of excitement and noise.
"Look, that's Li Linfei!"
"Oh my god, it's really him, so handsome!"
"Senior, I love you, I want to give you a monkey!" There were bold girls, shouting out loud.
"It's over, it's over, he's even more handsome in person than in his photos, I'm going to fall in love." There were some nymphomaniac girls with their hands on their chests and adoring faces.
"I didn't even go to Peking University so that I could study in the same school as senior Li Linfei."
"What are you talking about? I've heard that there are a few guaranteed students from Harvard who have come to Zhongnan University."
"If I could be a tenth as good as Su Cheng, how awesome would that be?"
......
Listening to the excited shouts around him, Li Linfei couldn't help but feel a few moments of emotion in his heart, lamenting that he was too charismatic, and it seemed that sometimes being too good was a worry.
"Mr Li, you're really popular." Xi Changlin laughed at the side.
"Haha, it's all a bit of thin air from my classmates." Li Linfei gave a smile.
After Li Linfei's group settled into the first row of seats below the podium, the new student ceremony quickly kicked off.
The hosts were a man and a woman, the woman was tall and the man was handsome, both were from the junior student council, but Li Linfei did not know them.
Off stage, Xi Changlin touched Su Cheng's arm and said, "Mr Li, after the ceremony later, can we have dinner together?"
"Of course, I wouldn't dare to refuse Secretary Xi's invitation."
"Where where."
XI Changlin said, "I've heard that your company is still at a stage of vigorous development, if there is anything you need my help with, you can just mention it."
Li Linfei laughed, "There are rather some things that I have to trouble you with, Secretary Xi."
"Haha, I was afraid that you wouldn't come to trouble me."
As time passed, after XI Changlin went on stage and said some official words, it was Li Linfei's turn to speak.
Li Linfei got up and went on stage, while a tidal wave of applause rang out from the stage, as well as a huge cheering shout.
As he walked up to the lectern, Li Linfei touched the microphone and looked at the tens of thousands of young students in the audience, and in a trance, he realised that he was the same age as them, or even not as old as many of them.
Whether it was fate or destiny, at least now, Li Linfei could stand here and look down on those below, then both proved that he was unique and different from them.
"Good afternoon, teachers and students, I am Su Cheng, and I am very happy that the school has given me such an opportunity to talk about my feelings over the years."
"First of all, congratulations and blessings to all of you, because this is one of the most amazing universities in China, and the fact that you are here proves that you are better than more than ninety-five percent of all students in China when it comes to the college entrance exams."
"I am very happy to see so many sunny and smiling faces today, and I thank you for letting me feel your enthusiasm, and if you can still have such smiling faces after a number of years without forgetting your beginnings, I think your lives will certainly be wonderful, no matter what you have lived by then."
The simple opening speech, without much red tape, was amplified through the audio and reached everyone's ears.
The boys had little overwhelming emotion other than their admiration and jealousy for Li Linfei, but the girls were a different story.
"Wow, Senior Li Linfei is not only handsome, but his voice is even magnetic!" An innocent-looking freshman girl, with both hands clasped in front of her chest, gazed at Li Linfei's magnified face on the big screen in fascination.
"I heard that Senior Li Linfei is still only twenty years old, the same age as us." Another petite girl next to her, her heart was thumping.
"A big man worth a hundred billion dollars, when will I be a tenth as good as him?" A boy looked enviously at the big screen, lamenting.
"If I could become Li Linfei's girlfriend, I would be willing to live ten years less!" A female student in her junior year said.
"If I could sleep with Li Linfei for one night, it would be worth my while to die tomorrow!" Another senior girl said frantically.
"Crazy crazy, you bunch of nymphomaniacs." A senior boy was filled with jealousy as he listened.
On stage, Li Linfei continued, "Those who are familiar with me know that I'm actually still in my second year of university."
"My college entrance exam, I guess, was considered successful, I scored seven hundred and thirty-five points that year, and was the top student in the province, I originally had the opportunity to choose Peking University and Tsinghua, but I chose Zhongnan because I felt that this school, could make my life more perfect."
At this point in Li Linfei's speech, a tidal wave of chatter rang out from the stage, there were many people present who only knew that Li Linfei was the richest man in the world, but did not know that he was the top student in the college entrance examination that year.
"Seven hundred and thirty-five points!"
"Did I hear it right, Senior Li Linfei scored so outrageously in the entrance exams back then?"
"I've known about this for a long time, he scored a full 50 points more than the second place, so I admire Senior Su Cheng."
"Not only is he handsome, he also makes money and is a good student, I heard that Li Linfei can play the piano!"
"How can there be such an outstanding person in the world? How can we ordinary people live like this?"
"I love you, sir!"
......
Li Linfei didn't pay any attention to the chatter from the stage, as he recounted his words to himself.
"However, being good or bad in the college entrance exams doesn't mean anything, and it doesn't mean that if you get into a good school, you will definitely have a good way out, it's not like that."
Chapter 932
"In this world, within the ranks of the successful, many are not necessarily wise, and within the ranks of the failures many are not necessarily foolish.
"In fact, there is one thing more important than a clever head, and that is the heart and will of a man; a great deal of a man's poverty is the poverty of his heart, and a great deal of a man's success is the success of his will!"
"When a baby is born, no one will ask whether it will be born a president of a country or a minister, a boss or a wage earner, a professor or a tramp."
"People will only ask: Is it a boy or a girl? Is it a young master or a thousand?"
"For a child who has just been born, everything in the future is unknown, no one knows or can know what kind of person he will become in the future."
At this point, Li Linfei paused in his speech because at that moment the female presenter, who was a junior, came over, handed him a cup of tea and subtly threw a wink at him.
Li Linfei was not afraid that someone would poison him, so after thanking him softly, he unscrewed it and took a sip.
And then, he continued, "In this way, people are all the same when they are first born, and if there is a difference, it is only between men and women."
"However, as time goes on, as circumstances change, as learning is difficult, as the world is hard, as people are cold, people's hearts and wills will slowly change, and such changes will lead to a gap between people."
"Thus, some people are very successful, some fail, some are brilliant, some are mediocre, some are happy, some are miserable."
"The key to becoming a very successful, outstanding and happy person in this fiercely competitive society is to have a heart that is never cold and never dead, and a will that cannot be broken no matter what the subjective or objective factors are!"
Although Li Linfei's words are somewhat chicken soup, it is an indisputable fact that a strong will can make a person strong internally.
Who in the world does not want to make a difference to society, reward their families and comfort themselves?
However, the frost of the years, the hardships of the world, the warmth of human feelings, so many people have become numb to the world help, no love and hate, indifferent, do not think about progress, timid to fight ...... this is very common thing.
The system is a very good one, but if you don't get the system, Li Linfei might be worse than any of the people sitting here, right?
But he was lucky enough to become a favored child of fate, and with his own hard work and resourcefulness, he was finally the most wealthy person in the world.
In terms of personal assets, there is absolutely no one in the entire world who is richer than him now, as his assets are in the region of US$500 billion.
Even the Rothschild family, who claim to have assets in the tens of trillions of dollars, their wealth is only overall, and in terms of individual wealth, there is indeed no single person who can hold a fortune of US$500 billion yet.
So it is correct to say that the current Li Linfei is on top of the world, however, he is not yet on top of his life.
For, his life had only just begun a short while ago.
On the stage, Li Linfei was still extracting and then combining the various statements that were most appropriate to the present situation from the fragments of his speech that flashed through his mind, and delivering them in the form of an inspirational speech.
If it were another unknown speaker on stage, many of the students below would have been unimpressed with the same speech.
But now it was Li Linfei on the stage, and his status and position were high enough that his every word and deed might be held as holy words by some people.
Therefore, even if the words that came out of his mouth were wrong, there were many people in the audience who would deeply agree with them because it was a kind of unjustified trust and worship for the successful.
"There is a story that says that there are only two kinds of animals that can reach the top of the pyramid, one is the eagle, which flies up on its own talent and wings."
"There are many eagle-like figures on the scene, many students who study without working too hard to reach the peak, many of whom may later graduate easily from Fudan and go on to study at prestigious universities like Harvard, Yale, Oxford and Cambridge; these types of students are full of talent and do not need to study too deeply to have such a talent. "
"But, as we all know, there is another kind of animal that also reaches the top of the pyramid, and that is the snail. The snail can definitely only climb up, and it can take a month, two months, or even a year or two to get from the bottom to the top."
"At the top of the pyramid one does find traces of the snail, and I am sure that the snail would never have climbed up without a hitch, it would have fallen down, climbed again, fallen down and climbed again."
"But what everyone needs to know is that once the snail climbs to the top of the pyramid, the world it sees in its eyes, the achievement it reaps, is exactly the same as that of an eagle."
At this point in Li Linfei's speech, thunderous applause rang out from the stage.
Although in the real world, such words are mostly identified as chicken soup, but it is undeniable that even chicken soup that is fragrant and indisputable.
That said, Li Linfei is the picture of an eagle, a unique eagle, and although he is open, there is no denying that he has indeed worked hard.
Li Linfei's speech went on for another half hour or so, giving many vivid and profound examples, and many of the students on stage, and even others who had come here, listened with great interest.
"A person's life is a life of struggle, but some people live a great life and some live a trivial life."
"If we have a great ideal and a good heart, we can surely pile up many trivial days into a great life."
"But if you are mediocre every day, have no ideals, and stop making progress from then on, the days of your future life will always pile up as a pile of trivialities."
