Chapter 298, Part Two: Gu Lanxi's Speech at University A
"Those older brothers and sisters told me that as long as you can pass the exam, you can go to university at 13 or 14, let alone 15 or 16."

"You know, I've always had a very positive attitude towards life. I thought, after summer, I'll be thirteen years old. Time waits for no one, so I have to hurry up, go to university as soon as possible, graduate and find a job so I can enjoy my life sooner."

His godlike "enjoying his own happiness" made the audience laugh.

"So I asked them, which school accepts thirteen-year-olds? Even though I'm only twelve, I'm already thinking about thirteen. It's a bit hasty, but a person who doesn't plan for the future will have trouble in the present. I can't make that kind of short-sighted mistake."

"They told me that most schools don't accept them, and the schools that do only accept geniuses."

"I said, that's my business, you don't need to worry about it. You just need to tell me which school is the best!"

The audience burst into laughter!

Gu Lanxi was so cute as a child!
Listen to that! It's just like a cocky little lion! So cute yet fierce, so domineering!
"Then, after these older brothers and sisters burst into laughter, they pointed me in the right direction: A University, A University is the best!"

"Well, my nephew's credentials are still getting more and more valuable. I'm already feeling sad even before he's passed the exam."

"It's not because we've been taking care of our family for seven whole years, and only my eldest nephew got into A University."

"It's because even if I pass the exam, no one will hold a memorial service for my ancestors, no one will host a grand banquet for me, and no one will give me a building. After all, even my grandfather's herbal tea shop, which I used to dream of, has been closed for several years due to poor management."

Gu Lanxi sighed softly, her face filled with reminiscence:

"However, this difficulty is easy to overcome, as long as I don't get too vain. The following year, I carried a backpack, a few changes of clothes, and all my money, and boarded a train heading north to A University to take the special admission exam."

"Then, because I beat the pickpocket so badly that he vomited blood in the middle of the night, the train police discovered that I was traveling without a guardian, and incidentally, they also discovered that I had not bought a ticket."

The audience burst into laughter again!

"It's not that I didn't want to buy it, but I wasn't old enough and didn't have an ID card. Even if I hadn't been caught, I would have bought a ticket when I got there. Since I was caught, I might as well buy it in advance!"

"The flight attendant told me that it wasn't about whether or not to pay the fare; she said that as a minor, traveling such a long distance must have worried his family a lot!"

"I said my family members were unlucky, they all passed away, and I'm the only one with bad luck..."

"At this point, many people must be wondering, how can you go out alone? At least ask an elder to accompany you, right?"

"I was young then, and I didn't succeed in what I wanted. I was afraid of being laughed at. 'My ambitions were higher than the sky, but my fate was thinner than paper.' I don't know if you've heard this saying before?"

"The flight attendant had no choice but to say that she would contact the admissions office of University A. I thought that if I made that call, it would ruin my reputation and affect my impression score. I know this much about social etiquette, so I lied and said that I have acquaintances at University A."

"The flight attendant was skeptical, so I had to borrow her phone and call Old Man Wang."

Wang Dongchen, sitting in the first row, couldn't help but cover his face when he heard this.

Okay, here's the person involved. Gu Lanxi wasn't lying; she really did it.

“I have a relative who works at Sun Yat-sen University. I once saw a contact book issued by the Mathematical Society in her office. Several people in the contact book were from University A, including our unfortunate Comrade Wang Dongchen.”

Gu Lanxi was an unconventional person who dared to think and act, and she was full of courage. When she talked about this, everyone felt that "you are truly worthy of this person".

"As the first lucky one, Old Man Wang was quite bewildered when he answered the phone, but I only used one sentence to move him, which made him rush to the station to pick me up. Afterwards, he even took me back to his house and ate three bowls of noodles with soybean paste made by my teacher's wife. Do you want to know what kind of talk I used?"

If she hadn't told these things herself, it would have been incredibly difficult for others to find out.

The response from the audience was unanimous: "Yes!"

Gu Lanxi said smugly, "I told him that the mathematics community can do without you, but it can't do without me. Don't let anything happen to me."

Wang Dongchen laughed so hard he almost died, and finally couldn't help but say, "I remember that symposium, Professor Song from the Physics Department also went, and she should be in the contact book. If you call her first, are you going to say that the physics community can't do without you?"

Teacher Song is a woman. Gu Lanxi shook her head: "No, I will tell her that I am an orphan, thirteen years old this year, and I risked my life to come north just to learn physics from her. I am at the station, and I will not leave until she comes."

Well, as expected of her, her grasp of people's hearts is quite accurate.

Teacher Song happened to be there too. She laughed so hard she kept wiping away tears. After a long while, she finally calmed herself down and asked her, "Then why didn't you call me back then?"

"Because I'm better at math than physics, I have a higher chance of passing the exam. Passing the exam is more important than what I study." "Okay, I forgive you."

After saying that, Teacher Song laughed again.

Even before she graduated, Teacher Song knew that she was a very charming person, and seeing her today, it is indeed true.

It's not just that she has excellent looks, doesn't get carried away in the face of trouble, and is always rational and calm; it's also rare for her to be both shrewd and retain her straightforwardness and innocence!
"When the exam results came out, I ranked last. Old Wang glanced at me sideways and said, 'How could you have the nerve to say something like that? Aren't you afraid the wind will be too strong and you'll bite your tongue?'"

"That day, my teacher's wife made braised pork for me. I held the bowl and licked the bottom of it clean, but I was too embarrassed to say anything."

"Now that I'm older, I've come to terms with many things."

Everyone laughed again, saying, "What a great excuse, 'getting old'!"
“Back then, I was so poor that I couldn’t even afford to eat, so I couldn’t afford to attend classes. I studied on my own with the help of materials given to me by relatives. The reason I came here was just to try it out first. Even if I didn’t pass the exam the first year, I was young and knew roughly what the exam would be about, so I could take it again the following year.”

A twelve-year-old child, through self-study, was able to get into the gifted youth program at A University. His brain is more than capable.

No wonder she was able to stand out so quickly among a group of geniuses after enrolling, and was favored by her mentor, who treated her almost like a daughter.

"After I got into university, I studied very hard."

"As it turns out, hard work pays off. I impressed my teachers with my exceptional professional skills. During the winter break of my senior year, when my father-in-law got a job, he immediately thought of me. I then earned a large sum of money by tutoring a wealthy person. The following year, during the Qingming Festival, I returned to my hometown with my hard-earned money to pay respects to my ancestors, host a three-day feast for relatives and friends. What my nephew has, I must have too!"

Even though she had long since let it go, Gu Lanxi still couldn't help but tear up when she brought it up for the first time, especially under these circumstances.

There was a long silence on stage, and no one in the audience spoke either.

Some of the more sentimental people even began to sob quietly.

Just as I was feeling down, I suddenly heard Gu Lanxi say quietly, "I spent 86,000 yuan and only got 520,000 yuan in wedding gifts. If I had known my relatives were so rich, I should have taken out a loan to go back and get this done during my freshman year of college. Maybe I would have made my first pot of gold sooner and could be on the Forbes list by now. Sigh~ I regret it so much that I keep slapping my thigh!"

The tears had barely flowed when everyone burst into laughter again!
"However, if that were the case, I probably wouldn't have met that rich person whose combined science score was less than 100. I think I'll pass on that idea!"

Everyone was caught up in the emotions until she mentioned someone a second time, and then they realized that she was talking about Lu Nanting.

There were CP fans present, and they immediately started screaming "Awoooooo!"

Seeing everyone laugh again, Gu Lanxi breathed a sigh of relief and walked back to the center of the stage: "Finally, there's something else I want to brag about."

Gu Lanxi smiled gently: "This year, I bought a building in Hangzhou. Those I wanted to brag about are long gone. I'm sharing this with you all only so you know that my motto remains unchanged. That is—"

Seeing her point the microphone at the audience, everyone answered in unison: "A bright future awaits me! My future holds endless possibilities!"

Gu Lanxi clapped her hands, her face showing that the child was teachable.

Once everything had calmed down, he smiled and said his closing words: "Remember, this is what I wanted to tell you tonight. Regardless of your background or natural talent, you must have ambition! Instead of envying others, work harder. What do you think?"

There was thunderous applause from the audience!

Compared to official rhetoric, Gu Lanxi tonight was excessively sincere!

Soon, people learned the reason.

The auditorium door was pushed open, and Lu Nanting walked in with his head slightly bowed.

Today marks the day Lu Nanting returns to China.

When he got home and didn't see her, he couldn't wait to see Gu Lanxi, so he simply came to the school.

The auditorium was silent for a moment, then erupted in a chorus of screams!
The setting in the story differs from reality.

I didn't write the admission brochure for the gifted youth program that the female lead was in that much detail.

The approach is simple and straightforward: schools are allowed to conduct their own entrance examinations and select the best candidates.
