“Good afternoon, fellow school leaders, teachers and schoolmates. I am Gu Mang from Class One studying Chinese Medicine at the medical school.”
Gu Mang smiled faintly.
Her voice was very recognizable and it sounded good. Her tone was rather cold and she had a powerful aura. It made people look over and listen. She finished her introduction concisely.
At Principal Ren’s side, the school leaders and teachers couldn’t help but feel tense. Even Qin Fang, who was ready to withdraw any trending topics that could pop up, stared at the big boss on the stage without blinking. He had no idea what Gu Mang might say next.
Su Jiaying was standing towards the front and she looked at Gu Mang on the stage. She curled her lips.
The instructor glanced at Gu Mang and then at the camera, which was pointed at her. She turned to Principal Ren worriedly. “Principal…”
She had just opened her mouth when Gu Mang’s calm voice was heard again from the other side.
“Gu Mang has already gone up. It’s too late to say anything now.” Principal Ren lowered his voice to cut her off. Beads of cold sweat were also forming on his forehead. He was hoping Gu Mang would improvise well.
The instructor frowned and looked at Gu Mang who was on stage. She stood at the main podium and her speed was just right. One minute into the speech, Gu Mang articulated her speech very clearly with good cadence.
The instructor stared at Gu Mang in shock. She had seen the script of the speech and her memory wasn’t bad, so she still remembered parts of it.
What Gu Mang had just said was not part of the script.
As time passed, Principal Ren and Yang Tianming did not feel less worried. In fact, they got increasingly nervous. They did not know how much of the speech Gu Mang remembered. They were just afraid that Gu Mang would run out of things to say. This caused everyone to look on stage fearfully.
Yet, the big boss standing on stage was calmer than all of them!
Gu Mang ended her final sentence.
“Thank you.”
Principal Ren and the others finally felt relieved. “Has it ended?”
The instructor stared at Gu Mang dumbfounded and nodded slowly.
Principal Ren and Yang Tianming sighed in relief. This ordeal was finally over.
“Gu Mang, she-” The instructor’s jaw dropped and she paused for two seconds before she found the right composure to look at Principal Ren and continued, “…seems to have memorized the entire script.”
Earlier she had said that the script was too long and that Gu Mang would not remember it.
…
On the freshies’ side.
No one had seen the script so they did not know that Gu Mang had memorized all of it. Gu Mang’s speech was clearly flawless.
Su Jiaying saw with her own eyes that Gu Mang had only scanned through the script once before putting it away.
How could she…
“Damn! That’s f*cking impressive! She gave a speech without a script at such an event! She’s definitely the first in our class!”
“Her results are so psychotic. Crazy things coming from her are understandable.”
“Is it considered crazy because she memorized her script? There are quite a lot of people from our school who are capable of that. Don’t over-compliment her.”
“Don’t forget that others were prepared to go up without their scripts. She discovered that her script was lost just before she went up. If it were anyone else, how many of them would still have the guts to go up?”
Su Jiaying listened to the praise for Gu Mang all around her and she clenched her fist.
Seeing that the speech had ended well, Tang Xiaoxiao and Zheng Miao sighed in relief.
They had previously seen Gu Mang walking away with the teacher with the script in hand, but they had heard that the script had gone missing. It was not difficult to assume that Gu Mang’s script must have been stolen by someone else.
Who would be so evil as to play tricks on Gu Mang under such circumstances?
Zheng Miao kept staring on stage. She saw that Gu Mang had not stepped down after her speech had ended. Instead, she removed the mic from the stand and took a few steps forward.
Zheng Miao was stunned.
Tang Xiaoxiao saw it too. “What’s Gu Mang up to?”
Zheng Miao shook her head. “I don’t know.”
