Chapter 41: The Military's Invitation

After Su Xin finished his speech, he stepped off the stage and returned to his class's seating area.

The principal returned to the podium, briefly summarized Su Xin's speech, and used the achievements Su Xin had attained to inspire everyone.

These words from the principal did not make everyone feel bored; on the contrary, everyone listened with boiling blood. After all, Su Xin was an example right beside them, his family background had long since spread, and his achievements were known to all.

Since Su Xin, with such an ordinary background, could start from nothing and achieve such dazzling success, why couldn't they?

Even if they couldn't catch up to Su Xin's achievements, they could at least try to move closer to them.

Su Xin's very existence was the best representation of knowledge changing destiny, and the best model for realizing one's life value through hard work.

After the flag-raising ceremony and Su Xin's welcome ceremony ended, all the students were still having heated discussions on their way back to the classrooms.

Su Xin, however, did not return to the classroom with everyone. Mainly, his head teacher considered that his status was somewhat different now, and staying in the classroom would distract others and affect the study atmosphere. The teacher proactively proposed arranging a separate office for him to serve as his temporary study room, a point that was decisively approved by the principal and had been prepared well before the welcome ceremony began.

After arriving at the office, Su Xin communicated with his teacher about the specific details of the college entrance examination.

Su Xin only needed to arrive at the exam venue in advance on the day of the college entrance exam, June 7th; the teacher would arrange everything else for him. As for his usual review, no one had been urging him for a long time.

After all, with Su Xin's current achievements, the college entrance exam did not have much significance, and Su Xin's previous tests had already fully proven his strength; there was simply no need for anyone to urge him.

After the teacher left, Su Xin went to the principal's office and proactively proposed donating 5 million, but he set requirements for the use of this money.

"This five million can arrive in the account this afternoon. My only requirement is that one hundred thousand be used as a bonus for the teachers of our class, and another four hundred thousand be taken as a bonus for all other teachers and the principal, to be issued along with this month's salary. As for how to distribute it, you and the principal can negotiate that yourselves."

"The remaining four million five hundred thousand can also be arranged by the school itself. Whether it is used for school construction and repairs, or scholarships for top students, etc., it is all fine. I will not interfere, but I will say the ugly words first: I will arrange for someone to come and audit the accounts later to see if this money has really been put to good use."

The principal nodded repeatedly with a smile: "Student Su, please rest assured. I will definitely spend every cent where it is needed most and will not let down your kind intentions."

Although Su Xin's words carried a threatening tone, the principal dared not have any objections. With Su Xin's current status and prestige, he was not qualified to handle the other party at all. Otherwise, if the other party just publicly said something unfavorable about him, it might ruin his future completely.

"Principal, then I will trouble you. I have some other business, so I will take my leave first."

After Su Xin took his leave and departed, he found several teachers from his class and privately gave them small gifts. As for Teacher Zhang Dahai, who had lent him a computer, he gave him a high-spec laptop worth over ten thousand as a token of gratitude.

Every one of his teachers had taken good care of him. Even in the two days before he awakened his Godspeed Ability, when he was dozing off in class all day, the teachers had never said anything harsh to him.

Later, when he applied to leave school for self-study, several teachers had also very cooperatively allowed it.

To Su Xin, this was a kindness.

After giving away a pile of gifts, Su Xin left the school and got into a taxi, preparing to head to the library.

During these days in Tianjing City, he had been busy writing new programs and considering the company's development, completely casting aside the good habit of reading, to the point where the knowledge storage in his mind had almost no further improvement.

Preparing for the college entrance exam these days could actually allow him to relax a little, read some books, continue to learn some knowledge, and cultivate his character.

Su Xin closed his eyes and rested for a while.

But soon, he sensed something was wrong. His gaze suddenly sharpened, and he stared tightly at the taxi driver's profile from the direction of the back seat, saying in a deep voice:

"Driver, I'm going to the city library. Did you take the wrong direction?"

"I didn't take the wrong way. Someone wants to see you."

The driver looked relatively young, with very firm facial features. The sturdy arms exposed under his short sleeves and the muscle lines outlined by his clothes could fully explain his physical strength.

His voice was also meticulous, carrying a sense of decisiveness and killing intent.

"Underworld? Kidnapping?"

This thought flashed through Su Xin's mind.

But he was not panicked. After all, with his Godspeed Ability, he had absolute certainty of saving his life even when facing machine-gun fire, let alone in Long Country, where gun control was extremely strict; it was impossible for the other party to pull off such a big formation.

And if it were just a few strong men surrounding him, even if they were all holding sharp blades, he would only need to use Twofold Speed or Threefold Speed to show off his superior skills and easily resolve it.

There was no danger at all.

Therefore, he still asked calmly: "Who is the person behind you?"

"Don't worry, there is no malice toward you; it's just inconvenient to meet you in public."

"Heh, using this method to invite me over, and you actually say there's no malice toward me? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

The young man did not speak, seemingly concentrating fully on driving.

At a certain moment, the car suddenly stopped.

"We're here. That car next to us is the one."

The young man said expressionlessly.

Su Xin turned his head to look and saw two black business cars parked next to them. Just then, the door of the front business car opened, and a middle-aged man with a kind face stepped out.

He wore a gentle smile on his face, waved at Su Xin through the car window, and then walked over to open the back door for Su Xin.

"Hello, I am Hao Zude, Deputy Director of the General Armament Department Technology Group of the Military. It is a pleasure to meet you, Student Su Xin."

As he spoke, he took out an ID card from his pocket and handed it over.

Su Xin took it and looked at it, silently memorizing the information on it before handing it back, saying indifferently: "You used this method to invite me over, and you aren't wearing a military uniform. I can't verify the authenticity of the ID either. Why should I believe your identity?"

"Student Su Xin, my identity is public. You can search for my identity information directly online. You can find my information and photos on the official military website."

Su Xin took out his phone and searched on the spot. Sure enough, he saw all of Hao Zude's information. Whether it was Baidu Baike or the official military website, there were introductions to the other party's resume, as well as photos and videos of him participating in various activities.

"Hmm, it seems your identity is not a problem."

Su Xin nodded and put away his phone, but his tone was still not very friendly: "Although you are from the Military, isn't it a bit inappropriate to use this method to forcibly invite me over?"

Hao Zude smiled apologetically: "I am very sorry, but this is for the sake of confidentiality. Because your company will definitely expand abroad in the future, if it is discovered that you have had contact with the Military, you might face stricter scrutiny from foreign governments. So we can only act low-key to avoid causing any adverse effects on your future development."

"By the way, it's a bit inconvenient to talk here. Why don't we go to my car to chat?"

Su Xin nodded, climbed out of the taxi, and looked around.

This place was already in the suburbs, with basically no one passing by; only their three cars were parked under a few large trees.
