Chapter 636: Who is the girl?

"The principal invited me to come up and say a few words today, I originally didn’t want to." Mr. Zhou said with a smile, "So I’ll just say a couple of things."

"I’m actually someone who’s already died once." Mr. Zhou looked around and said, "You all know, I was sent away, and I haven’t been back for long."

"So what do I want to talk about today? It’s attitude." Mr. Zhou smiled as he looked at the faces in the audience and said, "During those times, there were a few occasions when I almost didn’t make it."

As soon as Mr. Zhou finished speaking, soft murmurs arose from the audience.

"I was very lucky, fate led me to a little girl, from whom I learned a lot, one lesson being attitude. No matter how tough life was, her attitude was always positive and optimistic, without complaints or grudges, always so upbeat and forward-looking."

"And you all, you are the hope of the nation." Mr. Zhou glanced in Gu Lingling’s direction and said, "Our country is now facing many challenges and needs you to build it."

"Currently, our country is crossing the river by feeling the stones, and you will be the same in the future."

"What I want to say is, no matter what you may encounter in the future, attitude determines everything. Your attitude determines the height you can reach," Mr. Zhou said, "I hope you will handle success without arrogance and defeat without discouragement, never forget your original intention and forge ahead bravely."

Mr. Zhou didn’t say much and didn’t use particularly fancy words, but it was a very grounded encouragement.

The audience burst into thunderous applause.

Mr. Zhou glanced over at Gu Lingling again, then stepped down from the stage.

He looked meaningfully in their direction twice, which made some others follow his gaze too.

"Who is the girl Professor Zhou mentioned? Do you all know?" someone whispered behind.

Wen Jing also asked Zhang Zhaodi, but even the well-informed Zhaodi didn’t know this time.

But soon enough, everyone guessed who the girl was.

Because after the ceremony ended, Mr. Zhou declined the principal’s dining invitation and walked over towards Gu Lingling instead.

Then, everyone saw Mr. Zhou affectionately say to Gu Lingling, "Girl, let’s go to Grandpa’s house for dinner later."

"Okay." Gu Lingling nodded with a smile.

She felt a bit helpless about Mr. Zhou’s mischievous actions.

She had told Mr. Zhou that she didn’t want people at school to know about their relationship, and Mr. Zhou had agreed not to tell the school leaders or give her any special treatment.

Yet, as it turned out, he used this way to let everyone know.

Gu Lingling didn’t even need to think to know that her fame was bound to be even bigger now.

Sigh... she just wanted to lead a low-key college life for these four years.

But she hadn’t expected that first it was because of Yang Yunhai, and now because of Mr. Zhou, she was already considered a noteworthy figure at Kyoto University.

"Is your name Gu Lingling?"

Sure enough, even student representative Meng Yufei came over to greet her.

The two were both beauties, standing together was a pleasing sight, though they dressed quite similarly, the aura they gave off was quite different.

One was gentle and the other sweet, making it hard for people to look away.

"Yes, hello." Gu Lingling nodded with a gentle smile.

"I’ve heard about you." Meng Yufei said with a smile, "Let’s hang out together sometime."

Gu Lingling smiled.

She wasn’t sure where she had heard about her from, but as for hanging out, it was just good to hear.

After all, one was in the Chinese department, the other in the English department, they came to study, not play around.
