Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 258: Silent, No Fighting, No Fighting
Tonghai University, No. 129 Sports Field.

The "06 Freshman Opening Ceremony" is being held.

There were two rows of leaders and guests sitting on the stage, and the audience was filled with students lined up in neat rows.

Xu Chen and a few other boys were standing in the back row, and they were even able to slack off.

The host was a vice president, who first gave a brief introduction of the leaders and guests present.

In addition to the secretary, the president and a group of school leaders, there are more than a dozen important guests who are "academicians", which also shows the weight of Tonghai University in the domestic science and engineering field.

The principal spoke on behalf of the school and its staff, and his speech was sincere but a little dull.

The boys standing in the back row began to look forward again, and their focus was mostly on the pretty girls from various departments.

"Academic master" Jiao Tianbo looked serious and was still standing in the back row.

Hong Xiaoqiang said in a low voice:

"Don't you want to recite poetry? Why are you still standing here?"

Jiao Tianbo: "It's still early, I'll go to the waiting room later."

Xu Chen looked up and found that Jiao Tianbo had indeed carefully "dressed up". His hair was carefully combed with hair paste. He should be wearing a uniform T-shirt on the upper body, dark jeans on the lower body, and brand new white sneakers.

And at the front of the team in the distance, Huo Dashan was indeed standing there, holding a sign that read "School of Creativity and Media" in his hand.

……

After the president's enthusiastic but somewhat lengthy speech, the vice president read out the list of scholarships for the 06 undergraduate freshmen.

Jiao Tianbo straightened his back a little and raised his chin slightly.

Xu Chen and his two roommates remembered that when they woke up in the morning, the "student tyrant" had mentioned that in addition to reciting poetry on stage, he was also the recipient of the freshman scholarship and had to go on stage to receive the award...

Looking at the proud posture with his neck raised high, it seems as if he is about to rush onto the stage.

The vice-president's sonorous voice echoed in the stadium:

“A total of 2006 students received the Tonghai University undergraduate freshman scholarship.

Now, we will announce the names of the 25 students who have received the first-class freshman scholarships...

They are Chen Qi, Xue Yue, Yang Haihong..."

But when the list of twenty-five people was read out, the three words "Jiao Tianbo" did not appear.

Hong Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but poke the "student tyrant" in front of him:
"Why didn't I hear your name?"

Xu Chen was a little speechless, and wanted to say to Hong Xiaoqiang: Don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t ask…

Jiao Tianbo raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice:
“I got the second-class scholarship.”

Hong Xiaoqiang had an excited look on his face and said "Oh~" with a long trailing sound.

Xu Chen: “…”

Jiao Tianbo turned around, and looking at his back one could tell that he was still a little disappointed.

I guess he was ready for his name to be read out and for him to go on stage to receive the award.

But who knew that the vice president only read the list of first-class scholarships...

“Congratulations to the students who received the first-class freshman scholarships, as well as the second-class and third-class freshman scholarships!”

After a round of applause, the vice-president continued to read:

“A total of 2006 students received the Star Admission Scholarship from Tonghai University.

They are Zhao Haijun, Xu Chen..."

Before Xu Chen could react, several boys turned their heads and looked over:

"Fuck! Is that you, Xu Chen?!"

Even the "academic master" Jiao Tianbo turned his head and looked at Xu Chen with a strong questioning look on his face.

Xu Chen didn't have time to speak, he could only smile innocently.

After all, he couldn't show off his award in advance like Jiao Tianbo did.

At this moment, he did not expect that Jiao Tianbo's name was not called, so Xu Chen himself seemed more abrupt and eye-catching.

Others actually had some doubts and suspicions. After all, Xu Chen was not as high-profile as Jiao Tianbo. He seemed quiet and non-competitive.

Xu Chen, Xu Chen, Xu Chen...

It sounds like an ordinary name, and there are many people with the same name.

Seeing that Xu Chen seemed a little confused, the boys thought they just had the same name.

Unexpectedly, the head teacher Shi Dinghai came over from the back row, patted Xu Chen's shoulder gently, and whispered:
"Xu Chen, get ready to go up and receive the award..."

Xu Chen: “…”

Everyone: "!!"

Jiao Tianbo: “????” “!!!!” “???!!”

……

The head teacher was still here. Hong Xiaoqiang and a group of boys couldn't express their surprise, but their eyes almost popped out when they looked at Xu Chen.

Xu Chen looked helpless and said with his lips:
"I'll treat you to milk tea at noon..."

……

on the rostrum.

After the Vice President read out the list of “Star Admission Scholarships”, he also read out the list of “Undergraduate Freshman Subject Competition Scholarships”.

……

The head teacher Shi Dinghai gave Xu Chen another instruction:

"When the entire list of names is read out and the vice-president calls you to the stage, just run up quickly."

Xu Chen nodded and said, "Thank you, Teacher Shi."

Shi Dinghai turned and left.

The other boys looked over with shock again.

"Sure, Boss Xu!"

"Star Admission Scholarship, what kind of award is this?"

Xu Chen thought about it and explained in a low voice:
“It just so happened that an associate professor from the Creative College went to our city to recruit students.

He just happened to run into me and wanted to get me to apply for our college, so he gave me this scholarship...

This should be considered an award based on the personal wishes of professors in each college, so it has little credibility and value. "

He glanced at Jiao Tianbo's high eyebrows and added:
"It's the first and second class 'Freshman Scholarship', which is based entirely on college entrance examination scores and rankings. It is more valuable and convincing..."

Jiao Tianbo's complexion didn't look any better.

Others were still excited:
"How much is the bonus?" "Boss Xu, isn't it generous enough to just treat me to milk tea?"

"How about adding a barbecue?"

……

Xu Chen whispered, "I'll treat you! You pick the place!"

On the rostrum, the vice-president finally finished reading the list:

"Students who have won the above-mentioned First-Class Scholarship, Star Admission Scholarship, and Freshman Subject Competition Scholarship, please come to the stage to receive your certificates!"

In the rows of teams in the venue, people were seen jogging towards the podium one after another.

Xu Chen smiled helplessly and walked quickly towards the podium.

When passing through the crowd in the front row, it still caused some discussion.

"So there are people from our college too. I thought they were all from top colleges like Architecture and Mechanical Engineering!"

"What major?"

"Look at those boys, they all seem to be from the advertising department..."

……

……

Xu Chen walked quickly to the podium.

A teacher in charge of on-site arrangements divided the fifty or so students who came up into the classroom into four or five rows.

Then they lined up and went on stage one by one.

Several school leaders on the stage presented them with certificates of honor one by one.

Soon it was Xu Chen's turn. When he received the certificate and took a look, he found that all the certificates were the same.

There is no distinction between the three awards, so naturally there are no names.

It seems that the on-site award ceremony is just a symbolic form, convenient for taking photos and issuing press releases.

This arrangement is actually more efficient and reasonable and will not affect the progress of on-site processes.

At the same time, this is a "scholarship", and it is a proper arrangement if the money can be distributed to students without a penny missing.

Of course, Xu Chen’s “Star Admission Scholarship” is somewhat special, as it directly waives four years of university tuition.

……

After stepping down, Xu Chen quickly returned to the end of the college team.

Hong Xiaoqiang and others turned their heads and said "Congratulations" seriously.

……

The award ceremony is over.

A teacher representative, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and an alumnus representative, a bachelor's, master's and doctoral student, came on stage to give brief speeches.

There was even a chef from the cafeteria who came on stage and gave a speech on behalf of the "Logistics Group", indirectly promoting the fine tradition of "Eating at Tonghai".

After that, outstanding student representatives gave speeches.

So from a distance, Xu Chen met "Senior Sister Bai Miao" again.

Of course, for Xu Chen, she has another identity:

Xie Bingran’s national team teammates, roommates, and defeated opponents...

"Please welcome the outstanding student representative, sophomore student, Bai Miao from the national track and field team..."

There was thunderous applause in the audience.

The level of enthusiasm was even stronger than that of previous principals, academicians and other big leaders.

It seems that Senior Bai Miao is already very well-known among the freshmen.

This is only natural, as nearly half of the freshmen are local students from Shanghai.

Bai Miao has been a sports star in Shanghai since middle school and has been reported by major local media.

In addition to her athletic achievements, Bai Miao's image is also fresh and cute, winning her a large number of fans like Huang Hao.

After all, this world is all about looks, and being good-looking is a powerful advantage in itself.

Xu Chen couldn't help but smile and thought, my family's ice has a more obvious advantage...

When Huang Hao saw Bai Miao coming on stage, he stood on tiptoes and clapped wildly, looking like a little fan.

The applause paused.

Bai Miao's soft and sticky voice was heard through the loudspeaker.

The manuscript was probably written by someone else, and it's all official documents and routine stuff.

But after all, it came from Bai Miao's mouth, so the students below still listened carefully and watched carefully...

Xu Chen looked at the situation and it seemed that he could not find an opportunity to talk to Bai Miao in the morning.

Fortunately, Bai Miao will appear as a senior student at the college welcome ceremony in the afternoon.

With the small-scale interaction in the classroom, there should still be a chance for us to talk and hand the things I brought for Xie Bingran to her.

……

Bai Miao bowed and left the stage, and sure enough, there was another round of cheers and applause.

Xu Chen looked up and saw that Bai Miao was wearing the same national team uniform as Xie Bingran.

……

After that, there was the somewhat weird "poetry recitation" program.

"Academic master" Jiao Tianbo had gone up a long time ago, and was now standing side by side on the podium with several other outstanding freshman representatives, each holding a manuscript in his hand.

The sonorous and rhythmic tones were amplified through the speakers.

Xu Chen felt a little embarrassed for them...

It was moving but hypocritical, comparable to the speeches given by primary school students in Appleland praising the "Great General".

Tears-jerking, touching, thought-provoking, soul-stirring…

Excessive force.

Jiao Tianbo is worthy of being called a "nerd". His level of sentimentality and dedication makes him stand out among the six.

While he was reciting with great emotion, his roommate Hong Xiaoqiang seemed to feel physically unwell and trembled all over.

Goosebumps all over the floor...
