1994: From a young man from a small town to a second-generation resident of Shanghai

After waiting for more than an hour, it was finally the turn of the finance class students to perform.

The props team, consisting of about ten people, moved the pre-prepared props onto the stage.

The equipment was so complete that students from other classes exclaimed how professional it was.

Yu Rongguang, the counselor for the economics class, was in competition with Yuan Hua. He couldn't help but say, "Teacher Yuan, your class is putting on such a big show for a stage play? Anyone who didn't know better would think you borrowed professional actors from somewhere."

"They did this themselves; I only saw it today."

Yuan Hua said calmly, but he was quite proud of himself. The better his students performed, the more face he would have in front of his colleagues and leaders.

Dean Huang Jiang, who was sitting in the front, praised the students, saying, "This year's finance class is very creative and quite different from previous classes. This may be the beginning of a new normal."

The other deans around also chimed in, "Yes, this year's performances are more diverse and professional than last year's. Even the props are so well-made; the School of Economics and Management must have subsidized them quite a bit. Those who study economics really have money."

This statement expresses both envy for the School of Economics and Management's wealth and a hint of mockery: "You have money, so this is how you spend it."

"I heard the School of Economics and Management is going to offer an entrepreneurship training program after the National Day holiday? How's the enrollment situation? What are the fees?"

It happened to be a leisurely day, and Dean Ji of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering took the initiative to chat with Huang Jiang.

Everyone knows that Dean Huang is a fat sheep, reeking of money. When other colleges run out of money, they like to borrow money from him.

After the reform and opening up, the School of Foreign Languages ​​was the first to become wealthy, followed by the School of Economics and Management.

Especially after the Shanghai Stock Exchange opened in 1992, the teachers in the School of Economics and Management had professional knowledge and could make money by trading stocks!

"We can ask Dean Ji to come and observe when the class starts on October 3rd."

Huang Jiang brushed it off, knowing that Dean Ji didn't have the time to come and watch their college classes.

We're not in the same industry; we just chat occasionally.

"Dean Huang, I have something to tell you, and it's quite important."

We are about to enter the information age, and computers are now an important tool for large companies and organizations to work. I have suggested that the school use computers in office work, and your college can also start preparing.

The future of office automation is definitely in the future; a lot of information will be stored on computers, and employee training and other related aspects will need to be implemented.

Dean Ji wasn't just making things up. If training is required, then the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering should be paid for the training.

When it comes to assembling computers, repairing computers, or even purchasing computers in bulk, don't we always need to ask for their opinions?

"I've heard about this, and I also think we should keep up with the times. Let's find some time to talk about it in detail later."

Suddenly, strange music started playing on the stage. It sounded quite comical, like the Japanese invaders entering a village back in the day.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the performance on stage.

"They've even added background music. It sounds quite comical. Back when the Japanese invaded the village, it wasn't this funny."

"I must say, this stage play was performed very professionally, in no way inferior to professional actors."

Staff members from the Shanghai Film Studio also came, having been invited.

A professional can tell the quality of this stage play just by watching it.

The screenwriter and director behind this are definitely top-notch.

This stage play couldn't have been performed so well without professional guidance.

On stage, just a moment ago it was about Japanese soldiers invading a village, but the next second, the music changed style, with lightning and thunder, a sinister atmosphere, and a hidden sense of impending doom.

A group of Japanese soldiers who broke into the village were completely wiped out.

There were even bugle calls from the Eighth Route Army, which commanded the respect of the entire audience. Watching it live was truly impressive.

Yu Rongguang, the counselor of the economics class, changed his expression. The performance of the finance class was so outstanding that it had already surpassed their class's program.

The leaders all came to watch the National Day performance, which will affect his image in their eyes.

Sure enough, Dean Huang Jiang was pleased and praised the students in the finance class, saying, "The students Yuan Hua is teaching this year are of a very high standard."

Yuan Hua was quite pleased with himself. He had finally met a genius student. Chen Yong had really made him proud!

The biggest contributors to this stage play are undoubtedly Chen Yong, Zhang Xiting, and Ye Linghuan.

All three students had pretty good grades. Except for Chen Yong, who was a little lacking in effort in his studies, the two girls' grades were very good, according to the teacher.

We can consider giving them the three visiting scholar positions this time.

…………

Liu Chong, a native of Sichuan and Chongqing with an accent, burst into laughter when he shouted the line, "Yamamoto, I'll fuck your ancestors, are you going to surrender or not? Give me a straight answer."

"Who wrote this dialogue? It's so vulgar, but it sounds so good!"

"These lines don't sound like something a college student could come up with! I bet they found a soldier to play this role."

Zhu Tianliang, tall and imposing, also captivated the freshmen with his portrayal of Chu Yunfei.

"Our class monitor really knows how to play the game, giving me such a great role. It's practically tailor-made for me." Zhu Tianliang was touched; he finally got to enjoy the role.

I'll have to treat the class monitor to a meal later!

When Principal Yang saw the end of the stage play, before it was even over, he took the lead in clapping, and his subordinates immediately followed suit, followed by thunderous applause from the entire audience.

After the stage play ended, Principal Yang picked up the microphone to say a few words of reflection.

"After watching 'Bright Sword' just now, I felt a bit emotional. That war was 49 years ago."

The students' performances were incredibly realistic, deeply moving, and full of energy! I have high hopes for you all.

Huang Jiang never expected that the finance class's stage play would receive such high praise from Principal Yang; that's quite rare.

The deans of the other colleges were all very envious; the School of Economics and Management had really made a splash in front of the whole university this time.

Why didn't their college think of putting together a stage play about the War of Resistance against Japan?

"Class monitor, did you hear that? The principal praised our stage play performance as excellent."

Zhang Xiting was very excited to see this scene backstage.

Chen Yong, standing nearby, seemed unfazed. "Just a normal performance. It'll be my turn soon. I'm off."

"Wait a minute."

Chen Yong turned around and looked at her with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong? Is there anything else you want to say?"

"The performance is over, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Wow, that's really rare. That's great!"

I didn't expect the branch secretary to invite him to dinner. It was quite a surprise. Why not take advantage of it?

On stage, Yao Jing had already begun preparing for Chen Yong to go on stage.

When she uttered the name "Chen Tianwang of the Finance Class," a commotion arose among the students below.

"Who is this guy? Calling himself King Chen? That's way too arrogant!"

"If you didn't know better, you'd think they were one of Hong Kong's Four Heavenly Kings!"

"Wow, someone actually dares to choose such an awesome name!"

Yuan Hua sensed something was wrong. Did they even have a Chen Tianwang in their class?

When Chen Yong appeared, he immediately understood what was going on: "This is ridiculous! Giving himself a stage name?!"

Yu Rongguang, who was standing to the side, jokingly teased Yuan Hua, "Your class has produced a singing king."

Given that Chen Yong had done many things that shocked him since enrolling, he was too lazy to expose Chen Yong in front of Yu Rongguang.

Let's see how he performs in a bit.

As Yao Jing passed by Chen Yong, she said two things to him.

"Junior, do you have time after this is over? I'll treat you to dinner."

Quite a few people invited him to dinner today. Just now it was Zhang Xiting, and now it's a sophomore.

On National Day, is everyone eager to find a partner?

"Senior, I've already made plans to have dinner with my classmates."

Yao Jing was somewhat disappointed; the boy she had invited for the first time had actually rejected her.

"But, is it okay later?"

What time are you free?

"It will probably be at least 10 o'clock by then."

"Let's go to ten o'clock then, since I won't be finished until 9:30 anyway."

Chen Yong suggested a meeting place: the school gate.

Yao Jing's dormitory happens to be in the same building as the girls' dormitory, making it easy for her to be spotted.
