The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

Chapter 231 Ji Bai makes his appearance!

9:58.

Wang Jianguo ascended the podium.

He was wearing a brand new Armani suit today, his leather shoes were polished to a shine, and his red guest badge was neatly pinned to his chest.

He bought this suit a couple of days ago at the best shopping mall in Shenyang, which cost him almost half a year's salary.

While he was swiping his card, his wife pinched his arm, making him grimace, but Old Wang gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

value.

It was totally worth it.

How many times in a lifetime can one have the opportunity to stand on a podium with such a grand display?

He would accept spending half a year's salary, let alone half a year's salary.

But even now, standing on this platform, he still feels his legs trembling a little.

Who are these people sitting in the audience?

Wang Jianguo's heart skipped a beat as his gaze swept across the front row.

An heir to the Morgan family fortune, a direct descendant of the Rockefeller family, an executive of the Mitsui conglomerate, and a department head at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, a Nobel laureate, and a Philharmonic Award winner…

Not to mention the situation in China.

The prefect sat in the second row on the left, his expression serious. But Wang Jianguo knew that the prefect had been so excited last night that he hadn't slept a wink and had even called his secretary at 3 a.m. to confirm the procedures.

The provincial governor sat in the middle, talking quietly to the person next to him in a calm tone, but Wang Jianguo could feel the aura of a superior even from ten meters away.

There was even a councilor who came all the way from Beijing!

Wang Jianguo had only seen that leader in the news, but today he was sitting in the audience in person, and he nodded slightly to him.

Wang Jianguo almost lost his footing at that moment.

With this kind of scene, even Magistrate Ma would tremble if he came up here, let alone him!

Wang Jianguo felt like a Foundation Establishment stage minor sect leader of a fallen sect, suddenly having to preside over the opening ceremony in front of a group of Quasi-Emperors, Supremes, and True Immortals.

If he can stand up, then his weight loss over the past month wasn't in vain.

He heard a soft chuckle from someone in the audience.

Old Wang took a deep breath, brought the microphone closer to his mouth, and only eight words remained in his mind:

A dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water, go for it!

"Respected leaders, distinguished guests, teachers, and students, good morning!"

The sound blasted out simultaneously from the speakers in all four corners of the playground, much louder than he had expected, startling even himself.

The echo hit the teaching building and bounced back, like a firecracker.

"Welcome everyone to the inauguration ceremony of the Ji Bai Research Institute Affiliated High School. I am Principal Wang Jianguo!"

A round of polite applause erupted from the audience.

Wang Jianguo continued, "Today is a day that will forever be remembered by our Ji Bai Research Institute Affiliated High School."

"Our school, established for over thirty years, has grown from an ordinary middle school to what it is today. This is inseparable from the care of our superiors, the hard work of all our teachers and students, and even more so from..."

Wang Jianguo paused for a moment, his gaze unconsciously sweeping over the rows of distinguished guests below the stage.

"And even more indispensable is a young man who came from here and changed the world!"

A soft commotion arose from the audience.

In the foreign guests' area, people whispered among themselves, while the domestic leaders smiled, and the students blushed with excitement.

Wang Jianguo didn't pause for long. He continued according to the procedure: "First of all, please allow me to introduce the leaders and distinguished guests present today."

"Among those attending today's ceremony are leaders from the Council of State, leaders from the Provincial and Municipal Party Committees, and comrades from the Ministry of Education..."

Old Wang controlled his speaking speed very well, being both respectful and tactful.

Then, the tone shifted:

Old Wang's voice rose slightly, carrying a hint of undisguised pride:

"In addition, there are international friends who have come from afar."

"Professor Wiles of the Mathematics Department at Princeton University, the prover of Fermat's Last Theorem!"

Whoosh—!

There was thunderous applause.

Wiles rose slightly, nodded to his surroundings, and then sat back down.

The old man's face was expressionless, but there was a hint of barely perceptible expectation in his eyes.

"Mr. Terence Tao, Chair of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University!"

Whoosh—!

Another round of applause followed.

Terence Tao smiled and waved. He was much more easygoing than Wiles and even winked at the student representative next to him.

"Mr. Michael Anderson, Director of the MIT Superconductivity Laboratory!"

"Nobel laureate physicist—Mr. David Gross!"

"Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Nobel laureate and chemist!"

"Fields Medal winner—Mr. Manjur Bagava!"

"There were also representatives from internationally renowned companies such as Morgan, Rockefeller, and Mitsui..."

With each name Wang Jianguo read out, the applause from the audience grew louder.

By the end, the applause had become a continuous roar, like waves crashing across the entire playground.

The live chat exploded.

"Wow! This lineup of guests is outrageous! It's even qualified for an international academic summit!"

"A middle school is being unveiled, folks! Nobel laureates and Fields Medalists are both involved, along with half of the top-tier schools and a multi-billion dollar conglomerate—what an impressive lineup!"

"Old Wang's hands didn't shake when he read out the list, hahaha. If I went up there, my legs would have gone weak."

"What's the big deal? These people weren't invited; they insisted on coming!"

"Hahaha, you insisted on coming, huh!"

"Season God: I didn't invite them."

Everyone: We came on our own, no need to invite us!

"Hahahaha, that's so true!"

……

The applause subsided.

The entire room fell silent for half a second.

That's all?

Is Wang Jianguo's introduction finished?

Is one person still missing?

"Wait, where's Ji Bai?"

"Why didn't Old Wang introduce Ji Bai?"

"I don't know, are we not there yet?"

"Seriously? All the leaders of the Senate are here, but he, the main character, is nowhere to be seen?"

"Doesn't he live in the research institute next to the university?"

"What's going on?"

"This is too much... So many important people are waiting, is he going to stand us up?"

"No way, today is the unveiling ceremony for his own school!"

Whispers began to circulate among the audience.

The students whispered among themselves, their faces filled with confusion.

The media reporters began to look around, their cameras scanning everywhere, trying to find Ji Bai.

But at that moment, Wang Jianguo's voice suddenly became excited.

It felt like an electric current had struck me from my heels to the top of my head; my face turned bright red, and my eyes shone with an alarming intensity.

He took half a step forward, his voice rising three octaves, each word sounding like it was roaring from his chest:

"Now, please welcome—"

"The youngest recipient in Fields Medal history!"

"The prover of Goldbach's Conjecture!"

"The prover of the Kolas conjecture!"

"The prover of the twin prime conjecture!"

"The prover of the Poincaré conjecture!"

"The prover of the BSD conjecture!"

"Inventor of room-temperature superconducting materials!"

"Outstanding Graduate of No. 99 Middle School!"

"Director of the Ji Bai Research Institute!"

"Ji-Bai-classmate!!!"

After reciting the last word, Wang Jianguo suddenly turned around, raised his right arm high, and pointed with all his might in the direction of Ji Bai Research Institute!

This action was something Ji Bai specifically instructed me to do in a WeChat message last night.

The original quote was: "Old Wang, when I'm needed tomorrow, just point in the direction of my research institute. Don't ask why, just point it out!"

Old Wang didn't understand, but he strictly followed the rules.

The direction he was pointing was towards the Ji Bai Research Institute.

All eyes, all cameras, and all drones on site turned in that direction.

The chat exploded instantly:

"Holy crap? Who taught Old Wang that pose?"

"Hahaha, that way of giving directions is so cringeworthy! It's so cool!"

"No, the title of Seasonal God is longer than my family tree!"

"Wait! Look over at the research institute!"

"What? What? I didn't see anything!"

"Quiet! Look! Look over there!"
