Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 405 411. Idealistic Fairy Tale

“Let’s invite the founder of the [Turning Stone into Gold] IP, a freshman at Nanhu University, Lv Jincheng, to come on stage and speak!”

The host He Ying's ups and downs voice came from the microphone. The leaders and guests on the stage and thousands of teachers and students in the audience all focused their eyes on her.

Professional, generous and elegant.

A real beauty with temperament.

This is the first impression that comes to the minds of the audience.

Today, He Ying was wearing a custom-made formal shirt, but it was not made of the kind of fabric that was designed to create a nice shape.

But it is soft and elegant, silky satin just like her personality.

The bow tie under the shirt just neutralizes the toughness and old-fashionedness of the workplace suit, and can also further enhance the aura of the host in the auditorium, making the eye-catching effect more prominent.

But all this was transferred to another man within a few seconds.

He is the protagonist of tonight.

“I would like to thank the school leaders for the invitation, and I would also like to thank the school for its continued cultivation and emphasis on talent.”

Lu Jincheng bowed with a humble and polite smile.

"The main reason I came here today is to introduce several companies in the Dianjin system and the jobs we can provide to you."

"In order not to waste your time, I will first give you the conclusion and only talk about the essentials."

Next, Mr. Lu pressed the remote sensor in his hand, and the PPT on the screen behind him slowly unfolded.

Although Nanhu University is his alma mater, Lu Jincheng's spectacular entrepreneurial process has also been widely reported by the school.

Even various evening parties, debates, and random small events will always have Dianjin Media’s logo and sponsorship.

But in fact, everyone knows that Dianjin Media cultivates Internet celebrities, but not everyone wants to be an Internet celebrity.

Not most alumni have an in-depth understanding of the company and are actively preparing to submit their resumes.

Nowadays, fresh graduates who are determined to settle down in Internet companies are definitely the best among people with outstanding sense of smell.

Mr. Lu patiently introduced to everyone the current talent needs of several companies.

For example, Dianjin Media is the most popular and famous one.

Positions such as marketing planning, functional/R&D, artist management, photography/post-production, editing and directing, operations, and business development are far less crowded with talented people than anchors.

In most people’s perception, if you are not a host, going to Dianjin Media may be of no use.

But Lu Jincheng quickly dispelled everyone's confusion through professional explanations.

"As for the treatment, seniors don't have to worry at all."

"We will not make any promises to match the salaries of large companies in first-tier cities at this stage, but we can promise three things."

"In terms of salary, I am guaranteed to be in the top tier of Jiangcheng. In terms of development space, there is absolutely no upper limit. In terms of industry prospects, there is even more potential."

After talking about Dianjin Media, Lu Jincheng changed the subject and moved to the next page of the PPT.

Of course, he owns more than just Dianjin Media.

Miaoyin is thriving and it is at this critical moment that it needs to recruit new talents.

Soon, the content on the PPT reached the last page.

Lu Jincheng stared at the pairs of excited eyes in the audience, smiled, opened his hands, and made a downward gesture.

Although this is just Nanhu University, it was just an ordinary employment mobilization meeting held in the auditorium.

But he subconsciously felt that a little emotion was needed.

Burning up little by little, it can make people involuntarily generate fighting spirit.

So he closed the speech folder that his assistant had prepared in advance and continued speaking.

"In fact, I have always felt that as a business, we should not only actively assume social responsibilities, but also always stick to our original aspirations and consider the future of our employees."

"Everyone may know that the next important guest speaker is Miao Keyan."

The audience responded with laughter.

"She is from our Dianjin Media."

"Our company not only nurtures talent show champions, but also directly or indirectly changes the lives of many people."

"Next, I want to tell a story."

Lu Jincheng paused and began to gather his emotions.

"At the beginning, Dianjin Media was not called Dianjin Media. It was just an inconspicuous studio in the corner of the school."

"The protagonist of the story is an employee in the studio. She is an idealistic girl."

"She grew up in the village. Before she graduated from high school, she had never left the county town or the mountains. She had always dreamed of living in a big city."

The audience gradually became quiet.

Even the host standing in the corner quietly pursed his sparkling lips.

"It was just an idea at the beginning. She wanted to stay in Jiangcheng, whether for herself or for her offspring, to change to a better and more superior environment."

"But for poor families, staying in Jiangcheng is undoubtedly a fantasy."

"She tried desperately to get into graduate school, taking the most common path to improve her academic qualifications, but she failed unexpectedly in the end."

"Later, she wanted to take the civil service exam in Jiangcheng, but she didn't have the money to enroll in expensive tutoring courses, and her foundation was not as good as her competitors who had been preparing for the exam for a long time. Her learning journey was not smooth sailing."

"Even her family suggested that she give up her fantasy and go home to find a job and take the civil service exam."

“She wanted to give up at one point.”

"But at this time, by chance, she joined the Midas Touch Studio, which later became Dianjin Media."

"Her entire destiny has taken a turn for the better."

"Her dream came true, this year."

"She has her own house in Jiangcheng. Although the area is not large, for a family, the hope that the next generation can jump from the rural town to the big city means that the family's hard work will not be in vain."

"I will always remember the light in her eyes on the day we signed the contract."

"This story sounds like an idealistic fairy tale."

".But, this story is true."

Offstage, He Ying bit her lips, crossed her hands, tried hard to control her emotions, and stared at Lu Jincheng's figure.

The man paused and continued.

"This employee once described a scene to me."

"On a high mountain, there sat a little girl with a sickle and a basket beside her."

"That was her younger self."

"If she hadn't done well in school, if her family hadn't been open-minded and she didn't need help during the busy farming season, she might never have returned to school."

"My parents arranged for me to get married at an early age in exchange for a dowry. I went out to work without knowing what I was doing and to earn money for my family."

"From that time on, she made up her mind to change her fate and have more choices."

"Many people have no choice but to accept their fate."

“But actually everyone has a dream.”

Below the stage, He Ying, who was standing in the corner, raised her sleeves and wiped her eyes silently.

"Who is Lu Jincheng talking about?"

"I don't know how there are so many young ladies and anchors at Dianjin Media who are all dressed so glamorously, how could there be such a miserable person?"

“Isn’t this made up?”

Xu Ya and Ni Jiayun were still whispering.

On the other side, the guest's speech continued.

“As a boss, I really appreciate and admire people like her.”

“Keep working hard, don’t be afraid of difficulties, and dig up the land above your head even if there is a little light.”

“So, I am willing to help her dream.”

"When she realizes her dream, I think that's the most gratifying moment for us entrepreneurs." Helping employees find their self-worth is also the responsibility of an excellent company.

"One person's success will sow a seed in the hearts of other employees."

“This seed may remain dormant, but at many crossroads in life, that little glimmer of light, a little faith, a little yearning, and a little persistence can keep the journey going.”

“So, I want to say this to everyone.”

Thousands of teachers and students in the audience looked at Lu Jincheng in unison.

The ceiling light in the auditorium was shining brightly, shining on the side of the man's face, as if covering his entire body with a layer of warm light.

At this moment, whether it was the audience or the parties involved, everyone was concentrating and listening very seriously.

"You were born to be a mountain, not a stream. Nature hits you with wind and snow, and you respond with singing."

"You were born to be a hero, not a worthless person. Fate has placed you on a dangerous cliff, but you have brought fragrance to the world."

“I wish you to step out of your comfort zone and explore all corners of human knowledge. Before the restrictions and oppression of your origins are completely eliminated, do not easily believe that talent is the cause and effect. I wish you to regain the achievements you deserve in the fields dominated by capital.”

“I wish that you will not be objectified, belittled, subordinated, or petted, whether in popular culture or in intimate relationships, and that you will receive true equal love and respect.”

“I hope that the graduates of South Lake University, no matter what industry they are in, can take their destiny into their own hands, be independent and equal, and be proud and free.”

Lu Jincheng stood up, bowed slightly, and greeted the teachers and students in the audience.

In the auditorium, which was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, there was thunderous applause in an instant.

Such sincere and heartfelt speeches have the most essential power.

Among the graduates present who are troubled by the spring recruitment and job hunting, the majority actually come from relatively well-off families.

If the family is well-off, do you still need to worry about your children’s work?

Many people clenched their fists, feeling heavy and uncomfortable in their hearts.

Some people even had tears in their eyes.

The applause was so warm and lasting.

The leaders who were sitting still in the audience also stood up and applauded Lu Jincheng.

Well-informed leaders are rarely moved by speeches given on such occasions.

But this time, even they felt some inexplicable emotions growing in their hearts.

Three generations ago, who wasn’t a farmer?

Just as Lu Jincheng said, if you have the opportunity to come to Dianjin Media, you can change your destiny.

Such an idealistic story is so powerful.

After the speech, the computer went down for a while.

As per convention, it is the host's turn to make a concluding remarks, exchange the microphone, and introduce the next guest to speak on stage.

Lu Jincheng turned his head and tried to find the host's location.

But the position that originally belonged to He Ying was empty.

Ten seconds later, he picked up the microphone again and acted as a temporary host.

"Then let us welcome the next guest with warm applause!"

"She has too many titles and labels, and everyone knows them well. I don't need to introduce them one by one."

"Please welcome the first star in the history of Nanhu University—Miao Keyan!"

Amidst the thunderous applause that rang out again, the much-anticipated finale guest finally walked onto the stage.

Lu Jincheng finally found an opportunity to go backstage, holding a pack of tissues in his hand, looking for the missing host.

Because He Ying, who was listening silently at the side, could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears.

The respectable student union president was indeed hiding in the background alone.

She had her back to the exit, her shoulders hunched, the sleeves of her ironed shirt were a little wrinkled, and she seemed to have not calmed down yet.

"Go back quickly, what are you doing here?"

He Ying's voice became a little tense, and her brows were slightly furrowed.

As a qualified assistant, she was even worried that Lu Jincheng's visit to the backstage might make the real heroine feel disappointed.

"Come and see you."

Mr. Lu still looked as if nothing had happened. He had just used someone else's story as an example to give to the whole audience, but now he acted as if nothing had happened.

He handed over a tissue, knelt down with a smile, and moved closer to He Ying.

"Wipe your tears. You've cried like a kitten."

"You'll be hosting the event later, so please pay attention to your image."

"I just can't control it."

He Ying's body was tense, and she tried her best to maintain her voice and tone, but she couldn't help but cry a little.

"You didn't even read according to the script! I stayed up all night to prepare the script for you, and you only read a few sentences."

"If you like to express yourself freely, don't let me write. You even tell me stories about me without even telling me."

When she said this, He Ying's eyes turned red, and a corner of her dark eyeliner was slightly diluted.

It’s hard to tell whether it’s the grievance at work, the touch of being cherished, or some other emotion.

Even she herself couldn't tell why she was crying.

It's hard to tell.

"what."

Lu Jincheng smiled, stretched out a hand and wiped away the tears from He Ying's cheek.

The fingertips also become crystal clear.

"Why, isn't this story interesting?"

The man continued to speak, his steady tone made people let down their guard.

"Not nice."

He Ying shook her head.

“It doesn’t sound good at all.”

“I think it sounds good.”

"Oh."

He Ying sniffed and said something back, "Then don't say it in front of me next time."

After waiting for a few seconds and seeing that the man didn't respond, she continued.

"You should go back quickly. It would be inappropriate if they found out that you were not there."

"My speech is over, why do I have to be here?"

Lu Jincheng asked back with a smile.

"."

He Ying thought about it and said nothing.

"That side is not important."

"Miao Miao is not like me, who can really provide jobs for people. She just acts as a mascot to cheer everyone up."

The man took out another tissue, and like magic, he found a lipstick from He Ying's bag and handed it to her.

"Compared to that, your side is more important."

"The host is crying so hard, what will she look like on stage later?"

"If it gets out, it will affect our company's reputation."

"And my face."

"Here, take it and fix your makeup before you go out."
