She is in the fog

When Mingmei heard about the bonus, she was so focused on it that she naturally didn't pay attention to Ms. Li that Fang Yiyi mentioned. However, since Fang Yiyi had already mentioned this, if she didn't ask, she would be letting Fang Yiyi down.

"Then who is Ms. Li?"
"Li Jingyuan."

Mingmei thought about it and found the name familiar, so she continued to ask, "She seems to be an entrepreneur?"

Fang Yiyi straightened her back proudly and talked about Ms. Li's personal deeds like a treasure:

"Ms. Li's full name is Li Jingyuan. She was born in a remote mountain village in Nanke County, Nanzhou City in 1972. She was admitted to university through her own efforts and became the only college student in the village. After graduation, she started her own business. She lost all her money in the first two ventures and owed a huge loan. But she did not give up. Instead, she summed up her experience, kept learning, and kept trying."

"Finally, in 2001, 'Yuan Shan Zhi Yun' was registered and established in Nanzhou City. In just two years, it became a leading famous enterprise in Nancheng Province and was successfully listed in 2007."

"After the company went public, she invested in the construction of her hometown. Now Nanke County has become one of the top 100 counties in the country. In addition, Nanzhou No. 5 Middle School is Ms. Li's alma mater, so she set up the Yuanshanzhiyun Fund, which is divided into grants and incentives. The incentives will be awarded at the grade commendation meeting to motivate everyone. The grants are secretly collected and directly deposited into the students' meal cards every month to support poor students."

From Fang Yiyi's movements and expressions, it is not difficult to see her admiration and appreciation for Li Zhiyuan. Mingmei could not help but nod her head: "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world. That's true. But, according to what you said, Nanzhou No. 5 Middle School is her alma mater, right? Is there any relationship between it and Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School?"

Fang Yiyi continued, "This is exactly her righteousness. Li Jingyuan is Ning Zhiyuan's biological sister. After Ning Zhiyuan's company was investigated, her company and reputation were also affected. But she endured it all. After Ning Zhiyuan went to jail, she took over all of his previous public welfare activities and continued to support Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School. She really repaid evil with kindness."

At this time, Ou Yanuo came over, looked around, then put her left hand to her mouth and said mysteriously: "Speaking of this, I have a gossip here, do you want to hear it?"

"What gossip?" He Jiahe's eyes lit up when he heard the gossip.

Ou Yanuo looked at Fang Yiyi and said, "Actually, there is another reason why Ms. Li sponsored Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School."

"What's the reason?" He Jiahe leaned his head closer.

"Li Bufan, her daughter is studying in this school, so it's normal for her to provide financial support."

He Jiahe exclaimed: "Oh my god, it turns out that Li Bufan is Li Jingyuan's daughter! No wonder, if you hadn't told me I wouldn't have known about it, she hid it pretty well."

Fang Yiyi then frowned and said with sudden realization: "So that's why. At the last commendation meeting, I was wondering why Ms. Li wanted to take a photo with her arm around Li Bufan's shoulders. I thought only the first place winner could get this treatment. It turns out it was her mother! But Li Bufan is really low-key. I only knew that she came from a wealthy family, but I didn't expect her mother to be Li Jingyuan!"

Ou Yanuo shook his head in a solemn manner and sighed, "Although all roads lead to Rome, some people are born in Rome. They are beautiful, rich, and have good academic performance. How can they be compared?"

"What's the big deal!" Wen Wan raised her chin unconvinced, "Our Mingmei is the first place. Don't be so mean, Mingmei has brought honor to our Class 5. When she goes on stage to receive the award, cheer louder, understand?"

"Of course we have to!" Qin Yiran appeared from nowhere and said confidently, "Don't worry, Mingmei is the only light in our class, we have to hold up the scene!"

"Let's go, let's go, don't be late, or else Old Ginger will keep on talking."
He Jiahe put the book on the desk and hurriedly urged Fang Yiyi to stand up. Then they formed a team and rushed to the auditorium.

This was Mingmei's first time entering the auditorium.
From the outside, the auditorium is very solemn and majestic. There are four entrances in total. They entered from the nearest side door. They found that the inside is even more magnificent and magnificent. The auditorium is a huge trapezoid, very wide. According to Fang Yiyi, it can accommodate 6000 people at the same time. There are less than 2000 students and teachers in the second grade of high school, so there are more than enough seats.

The seats were labeled according to class areas. Mingmei and her classmates spotted their class teacher from a distance and walked straight over.

"Hello, Teacher Zhong."
Several people greeted the head teacher in unison.

When Zhong Nuo saw Mingmei, she couldn't hide the smile on her face. She waved at her, pointed to a seat in the aisle and said, "Mingmei, sit here. It will be convenient for you to go on stage later."

"Oh, okay." Mingmei just sat down on the chair, then immediately stood up and walked towards the aisle.

"Then I want to sit with Mingmei too." Wen Wan also stood up with Mingmei, and the two walked to the aisle and sat down together.

He Xi looked at the seats and found that there was an empty seat in front of Wen Wan, so she sat in front of Wen Wan.

Mingmei looked around and saw red chairs, apricot walls, a wooden stage, a red velvet curtain... and the high ceiling was covered with lights, which was dazzling.

"Please be quiet for a moment, the commendation ceremony is about to begin."
Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.
Mingmei felt very familiar with this voice; it was Li Fuyue.

"Wow—"
All of a sudden, all the lights in the auditorium went out, leaving only a faint light on the ceiling. Mingmei looked up and saw what looked like a sky full of stars, like a dream.

Suddenly, a beam of light hit the center of the stage and the curtain slowly opened. Mingmei looked toward the stage and saw Li Fuyue, wearing a green dress, slowly walking to the center of the stage, while Zheng Ran, who was also an announcer at the radio station, followed closely behind her in a neat suit.

Li Fuyue: "Dear leaders, teachers, guests——"
Zheng Ran: "Dear classmates!"
Li Fuyue (Zheng Ran): "Good evening, everyone!"
Zheng Ran: "With the care and support of our superiors and the community, all the people in No. 1 Middle School have upheld the school motto of 'Aim High and Keep Improving', worked hard and dared to be the first, and achieved excellent results in the city's mid-term joint examination that just ended."

The applause of the audience was thunderous.

He Xi couldn't help but wonder: Wasn't the female host in the previous life Li Bufan? Why did it become Li Fuyue now? Li Fuyue: "This conference will commend students who have excellent grades and made outstanding progress in the mid-term joint examination. We have also specially invited a heavyweight guest to present awards to the winning students."

At this time, another beam of light shone on the guest seats in the first row. Mingmei could only see the back of the head from a distance.

Zheng Ran: "Please allow me to introduce the special guest of this commendation conference, Ms. Li Jingyuan, CEO of Yuanshanzhiyun."
Li Fuyue: "Welcome."

Li Jingyuan stood up upon hearing the voice, turned around and waved to his classmates.

There was another prolonged applause.

Mingmei stared at Li Jingyuan intently. She was wearing a custom-made suit and had a very well-managed figure. Her face was expressionless and without a single wrinkle. She didn't look like she was forty at all. She exuded a sense of energy, and it was obvious that she had a very young mentality.

As expected, they are of the same bloodline. Mingmei always feels that Li Bufan has similarities with her.

Li Fuyue: "Now, please invite Director Jiang Qi of the Teaching Department to read out the list of winners of the commendation ceremony. Please invite the winners to come on stage to receive their awards. Please also invite Ms. Li Jingyuan to come on stage to present the awards to the winners."
After Li Fuyue finished speaking, Zheng Ran made a "please" gesture and the two went backstage to wait.

At this time, dozens of etiquette staff came to the stage holding certificates and red envelopes and stood in order.

Jiang Qi walked to the podium filled with flowers, placed the manuscript on it, and cleared his throat: "First, we will present the Progress Awards. Students whose names are called, please come up to the stage in order, from right to left. Gan Zhou from Class 8 (23), Yu Lin from Class 23 (), Liang Tiantian from Class ()..."

Jiang Qi read out dozens of names in one breath, and soon the front of the etiquette hall was filled with students.
Li Jingyuan presented awards one by one, and the students bowed to her politely.

Afterwards, we took a group photo.

Jiang Qi: "Next is the list of the top 23 winners in the liberal arts class. The th place is Liang Tiantian from Class of Senior ."

As soon as he finished speaking, applause broke out and a spotlight was shone on the area of ​​Class 23 of Senior . A petite girl stood up and slowly walked towards the stage.

Mingmei thought that the Excellence Award was the same as the Improvement Award, in that the awards would be presented together after all the names were read out. However, she did not expect that the awards would be presented separately according to the rankings, and that this spotlight would follow the entire stage, giving it enough presence.

Mingmei finally understood why Qin Yiran said "the only light". Indeed, at this moment, Liang Tiantian was the center of attention, and she was the only light.

Almost all of the top 30 students in liberal arts were from Class (), which really lived up to the title of experimental class.

After the awards to the liberal arts class, the next award is for the science class.

Jiang Qi: "No. 1, Zeng Xiaolei from Class () of Senior High School."
……
Jiang Qi: "The third place is He Zhi from Class 1 () of Senior High School."

Just like the arts class, the top 1 students in the science class were almost all from Class 1 (), and the spotlight hardly left the area of ​​Class ().

"Second place, Senior 1 () Class, Li Bufan."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
You know, since entering high school, Li Bufan has always been the number one.

When a spotlight hit Li Bufan, the students in the audience began to whisper:
"Li Bufan is second, then who is first?"
"Didn't you go to the bulletin board? Mingmei."
"Is that Ming Mei who often broadcasts with Li Bufan?"
"It's her."
"Why haven't I heard of her before?"
"I just transferred here this semester."
"Which class is she in?"
"It seems to be Class 5."
"How could such an awesome person go to Class 5?"
……

On the stage, Li Jingyuan presented the award to Li Bufan and patted her on the back, as if to encourage her. At the photographer's suggestion, Li Jingyuan smiled and put his arm around Li Bufan's shoulders to take a photo.

Jiang Qi: "First place, Senior 5 (), Mingmei."

As soon as she finished speaking, a spotlight hit the area of ​​Class 5, and the classmates cheered in unison. Qin Yiran even took out a suona from somewhere and started to play "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" with a squeaking sound. Zhong Nuo tried to stop her twice before she reluctantly put the suona back into her pocket.

But this voice still attracted everyone's attention. They had only heard Mingmei's voice on the radio but had never seen Mingmei. They all wanted to see what Mingmei looked like and why she had such a grand ceremony.

"Where did the suona come from?"
"It's 'A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix'!"
"I think it's a mockery. Sorry, everyone here is garbage."
"I admit that 728 points is really impressive, but is it too high-profile?"
"What's so high-profile about it? If my college entrance examination score could be that high, my family would just hold banners and run around the streets playing drums and gongs."
"Niu Niu Niu, very arrogant."

He Zhi from Class 1 () of Senior High School snorted disdainfully: "The villain is getting ahead."

Mingmei had no idea that Qin Yiran had made this preparation. When the suona sounded, she felt like bugs were crawling on her body.
Qin Yiran was not cheering for her, she was trying to send her away.
At this moment, Mingmei was in a dilemma whether to stand or not.

This is too exaggerated and outrageous. There is no desire to stand up at all. At that time, there was no word "social death", but Mingmei wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.
