Duan Huaiyuan is the president of the Student Union of the School of Light Chemical Engineering and a junior student in the Department of Politics. He has been busy these days and is busy preparing for a speech, and he needs to bring at least 200 students into the auditorium.

The cause is this: the External Relations Department suddenly received a sponsorship, with a huge sum of 2,000 yuan.

At this time, the external relations department of the Student Union in a small city was really only engaged in external relations, and it has not yet become a "sponsorship department" because it can't be pulled. Now I suddenly got a sum of money, and the student union was a little nervous, afraid that it would violate any regulations.

Fortunately, the sponsor only asked them to bring 200 students to the auditorium, and it was limited to junior and senior students, saying that they wanted to hold a speech conference.

What is the content of the speech?

Duan Huaiyuan didn't know, and he didn't even know who was going to give a speech. Anyway, Xifeng Food Company gave the money, so they just did things as required, and the school leaders had no objection to this.

It is difficult for the senior year to fool the old fried dough sticks. Duan Huaiyuan tried his best and only mobilized more than 40 people, and the rest were juniors.

At 8:30 in the morning, nearly 200 students entered the auditorium, sitting around and chatting, noisy and chaotic, just like a vegetable market.

Duan Huaiyuan stood on the stage and clapped his hands and shouted: "Please be quiet, don't sit around, be sure to fill the first three rows!"

Except for the cadres of the student union, no one cares about it and does what they should do.

Duan Huaiyuan could only lead the cadres to persuade him. After finally filling the first three rows, the auditorium was still noisy.

It’s not because the students’ quality is too poor, but because today’s speech is a bit inexplicable, and none of them are willing to come here by themselves.

"Look, a big beauty comes in!" a student suddenly shouted.

In April, Chen Tao wore an OL suit. Even with stockings, she still felt a little chill. As soon as she came in, the auditorium was quickly quiet. College students in Rongping City had never seen such a dress in reality, and they all guessed their identity.

Song Weiyang and Yang Xin followed in and watched the MV student of "Thousand Paper Cranes". He suddenly felt that he looked familiar, but he did not shout the name "Ma Junhao" on the spot.

When Song Weiyang stood in the center of the rostrum, the students all understood that he was the protagonist and they immediately whispered to each other.

"Who is this person? What is he here to do?"

"I'm quite young, maybe a new poet invited from outside."

"If there is this possibility, the student union said that he should be the one who invited a mysterious guest."

"So today is a poetry exchange meeting?"

"I'm wasting my time, I don't read poetry, and I have to go back to do experiments."

"Why do I feel a bit like the male lead of "The Paper Crane" MV?"

“What is mv?”

"It's just music videos, which are played on the TV station."

"I have heard of the tape of "Thousand Paper Cranes" and have never seen MV, so I can't watch TV in school."

"Who cares about him? I came here for the sake of Lao Duan, so I left after hearing this."

“…”

In 1994, it was absolutely useless to want to go to a university to recruit campus. Apart from the country's famous large companies or foreign companies, students simply looked down on it because they did not have the problem of finding a job.

Then, we must find another way, so today's speech conference was created.

"Ahem!"

Song Weiyang coughed twice in the microphone, which was both an audition and a draw of students' attention. Seeing everyone looking at the rostrum, he smiled and said, "Let me introduce it first. I am the chairman of Xifeng Food Company. My name is Song Weiyang. I am currently in my senior year of high school. I call me 'Xiao Song Director' in the newspaper."

"It's him!"

"Are you really a high school student?"

“…”

"Cartain Director Xiao Song" is still very famous in Rong Ping. Since the Rongcheng Evening News published a special report, Rong Ping Daily has also reprinted it. Combined with Song Shumin's popularity in the local area, "Cartain Director Xiao Song" was widely discussed last year, and even these college students have heard of it.

Although college students are arrogant, they usually appreciate or admire Song Weiyang.

"I am a high school student, you are a college student. Speaking of which, I am not qualified to speak on the top," said Song Weiyang. "So, today is not a speech, but I want to communicate with you. We will discuss with each other. If you delay your time, please forgive me!"

After saying that, Song Weiyang stood on the stage and bowed deeply.

This bowing act immediately eliminated the dissatisfaction among the students. They all felt that Song Weiyang was humble and polite, and they were embarrassed to make noise again.

"Smack it!"

Duan Huaiyuan, the president of the Student Union, was very eye-catching and took the lead in applauding: "Director Song is so polite. Although you are a high school student, we are not as good as the big things you have done. We college students who have never been in contact with society also hope to exchange experience with Director Song."

The cadres of the student union immediately applauded, and the other students also applauded sparsely.

"Thank you for your understanding," Song Weiyang went straight to the topic, "What do I want to communicate with you today? It is the confusion of contemporary intellectuals! There are some rumors circulating in society now. Those who make atomic bombs are not as good as those who sell tea eggs, and those who hold scalpels are not as good as those who hold razors. The country focuses on economic development, and the whole people are busy doing business. The government cadres are going to make money, and the salary of scientific researchers is not as good as those of ordinary workers in the special administrative region! You are all junior and senior students, and you are about to graduate. Do you think clearly about what to do after graduation? Go to government agencies? The county magistrates and mayors in some places have gone into business. Working in state-owned enterprises? Nowadays, state-owned enterprises are dead and one after another, and those who are not dead are struggling! Where is your future? How do you realize your dreams?"

A series of questions made the students' smiles disappear, some were meditating, some were confused, and some were discussing with people around them.

The 1980s were an open era and an era of inferiority. The wonderful world outside had a strong impact on college students. At the same time, they were full of passion and ideals, actively engaged in literary creation, actively invested in national construction, and many actively worked hard to go abroad.

In the 1990s, romanticism suddenly became utilitarianism, pragmatism and materialism. The society changed too quickly and people could not react at all. Although college students were in the ivory tower, they had a personal experience of this change, so they collectively entered a state of confusion in their minds, unable to find ideals, unable to see the reality clearly, and were deeply worried about their future.

Song Weiyang pointed to Yang Xin and said, "This is Mr. Yang Xin, general manager of Xifeng Food Company. Why do I mention him specifically? Because General Manager Yang was once a college student and a top student who graduated from Zhejiang University, he is now my right-hand man!"

The scene was suddenly in an uproar. Compared with Zhejiang University, the level of the Light Chemical Engineering Institute was too far different.

Song Weiyang continued: "After graduating from Zhejiang University, General Manager Yang became deputy county magistrate three months. He took the initiative to apply to transfer to a local leather factory. It took four years for the state-owned enterprises that were on the verge of bankruptcy to achieve an annual profit of 20 million yuan! However, he resigned and came to Rong Ping to serve as the general manager of Xifeng Food Company. Why did he do this? He was wrong to be the factory director of a loss-making enterprise, and he was not allowed to be the factory director of a state-owned large factory, and to be the general manager of a private enterprise?"

Yes, why?

The students were puzzled.

Song Weiyang said: "Because General Manager Yang has ambitions! When he was the deputy county magistrate, there were nearly 20 deputy county magistrates in that county, with overlapping powers and low effectiveness. He felt that he was in a position of corpse, so he took the initiative to apply for a loss-making enterprise! He turned state-owned enterprises into profits, making countless workers grateful, but as soon as the enterprise makes money, the local government's fingers came. At this time, General Manager Yang felt that state-owned enterprises were not a way out, and China's future was in private enterprises. He saw news about me in the newspaper and immediately resigned from the position of state-owned factory director to serve as the general manager of Xifeng Food Company!"

After listening to Song Weiyang's introduction to Yang Xin's resume, the students immediately became respectful and could no longer be proud. Because Yang Xin's qualifications from the graduate school, to the deputy county magistrate, the state-owned factory director, and the deeds he did all over the college students in front of him.

Song Weiyang pointed at Chen Tao again and said, "Ms. Chen Tao is now the assistant general manager of Xifeng Food Company. She is not as good as you college students. She is just a technical secondary school student. But she graduated from the second-ranked technical secondary school in the province. Her score for the technical secondary school entrance examination is 40 points higher than the admission line for the best high school entrance examination in the local area! She has excellent business skills and in just one year, she was promoted to a middle-level cadre in a large cotton spinning factory. But she took the initiative to choose to be laid off and came to Xifeng Company to be the deputy general manager Yang because she knew that the state-owned enterprise she was in was almost dying!"

These words made the students not dare to underestimate Chen Tao. Because many of them once wanted to take the junior college entrance examination, but they just didn't.

Song Weiyang said: "The experiences of General Manager Yang and Assistant Chen tell us that there is no way out for state-owned enterprises. Do you still want to join state-owned enterprises after graduation?"

College students were speechless, and some wanted to defend themselves, but reality made them helpless.

"What is your dream? Have you lost it? Can you still find it back now?" Song Weiyang asked several questions in a row.

No one answered.
