Chapter 427: Gathering of Heroes

At three o'clock sharp, the opening ceremony officially began, and the entire venue was filled with a solemn and warm atmosphere.

The leaders walked onto the podium with smiles on their faces and steady steps, taking their seats one by one, their eyes conveying encouragement and trust to the students.

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience, and Lu Fan, like everyone else, was full of expectation and nervousness.

Lu Fan spoke first under Wang Hong's recommendation. He was not stage-frightened and said confidently: "This opening ceremony can be described as everyone's 'training manual', giving us a clear direction and goal for learning. We must run through the spirit of the speech throughout the training, be willing to spend time and energy reading the original works and learning the original text, grasp its core meaning, spiritual essence, rich connotation, and practical requirements, practice internal skills, improve cultivation, strive to achieve the integration of learning, thinking, and application, and the unity of knowledge, belief, and action, and strive to become a pillar of talent that can be used for great purposes and can shoulder heavy responsibilities, not living up to the era and not living up to the youth!"

Lu Fan's speech won warm applause from his classmates. Subsequently, other students also spoke enthusiastically, expressing their insights and feelings, and the atmosphere was very warm. Everyone was infected by this enthusiasm, as if they were in a feast of thought.

Among the crowd, Wang Jianming's speech resonated with Lu Fan. His voice was steady and powerful, and his insights were unique. He shared his insights and experiences in work, including thoughts on livelihood issues, education reform, etc., making everyone listen quietly. He came from the Grassland Province and was a mayor.

Wang Jianming noticed Lu Fan's gaze, he nodded friendly and signaled.

Lu Fan also nodded in response, with appreciation flashing in his eyes. At this moment, a tacit understanding seemed to be established between the two.

After class, the two walked out of the classroom side by side, exploring the issues Wang Jianming just raised.

Coming to the cafeteria, Lu Fan saw Chen Jianfei and Wang Gang. Wang Gang was met at Wang Hongpeng's wedding last time and had served as Wang Hongtao's secretary in the Provincial Party Committee and Zhenbei District.

The two also saw Lu Fan. After getting their food, everyone sat together.

Chen Jianfei said with a smile: "I saw the student list to know that you came too, but it's a pity that we weren't assigned to the same class. Oh, right, introduce you, this is Bai Chengzhi from Dian."

Lu Fan also introduced Wang Jianming to the three and said with a smile: "If you are not busy on the weekend, let's get together."

Wang Gang said: "Daiqiang is coming to see everyone tomorrow, let's sit together."

Lu Fan said with a smile: "Then we must get together, I'll contact you after school the day after tomorrow."

Before long, Wang Hong and several others also got their food and sat over.

When eating, many people greeted Bai Chengzhi enthusiastically, and the accents were all from Nanzhao Province.

At the same time, many cadres from Qinchuan Province also greeted Chen Jianfei and Wang Gang, and those who knew Lu Fan also asked for his well-being.

There were more than two hundred people in this training class, and there were twenty or thirty people who had just greeted each other. It can be seen that Qinchuan and Nanzhao took many indicators for this Middle-Young Class.

After eating, Lu Fan and Wang Hong, Deng Guoqiang, and Li Boyu went to the library. They had to go all out and strive for strength in these few days, because there would be a crucial closed-book "bottoming" exam next week, testing various basic theories. The exam results must be recorded in the file. If the results are at the bottom, then it is really losing face to the grandmother's house!

And in his work, Lu Fan gradually discovered his own shortcomings and the limitations of knowledge, realized the importance of improving his own cultivation, and planned to use this training to strengthen theoretical study, thicken theoretical foundation, and improve theoretical cultivation, learn to use the innovative theory of the new era to observe the new situation, study new situations, and solve new problems, so his learning attitude was extremely correct.

The next day, class officially started, and a professor walked onto the podium and began to teach party history knowledge.

The professor's level was very high, his style was vivid and interesting, his language was humorous, and he vividly presented complex historical events and figures to the students, and also deeply analyzed the reasons and significance behind some key historical events. He also actively interacted with students and encouraged everyone to put forward their own insights.

Lu Fan, who had dropped out of high school, listened attentively. He cherished this rare learning opportunity and enjoyed this rich learning atmosphere.

The afternoon arranged an economics class, and the course was still wonderful. A well-known academician taught, and he presented complex economic principles with vivid examples and concise language, and also thoroughly analyzed the current economic situation.

The students listened attentively and recorded important viewpoints and data in their notebooks from time to time.

At dusk, the sun gradually tilted west, and the afterglow sprinkled the campus. Lu Fan ended a day of courses, not only increasing his knowledge but also broadening his horizons, and gained a lot, and his mood was particularly comfortable.

When dining, Wang Jianming said: "Originally, there was no class in the afternoon. I heard that the academician only had time this afternoon. He is from the think tank."

Lu Fan exclaimed: "So that's it, no wonder the level is so high!"

Wang Hong said: "According to the course arrangement, we are going to Yingjiang in June. Lu Fan, that's your territory!"

Lu Fan said with a smile: "Yingjiang is very worthy of everyone's visit. When the time comes, I will definitely let everyone taste Yingjiang delicacies and listen to Qin Bei folk songs."

On Friday, after the morning class, Lu Fan received a call from Si Daiqiang.

"Lu Fan, class is over, right?"

Lu Fan replied with a smile: "Just finished class, are you in the capital?"

"Yes, I booked a position at the Kaorouwan Restaurant, and I'll treat you guys in the afternoon!"

"Secretary Si, how can I let you spend money when you come to the capital? I must treat everyone!"

Si Daiqiang said: "You can't argue with me today, I have to bring a few friends, I'll send you the location later."

In the afternoon, after watching the corruption case warning film, the students could move freely.

Chen Jianfei took Wang Gang and Bai Chengzhi to find Lu Fan and went to the Kaorouwan Restaurant together.

Lu Fan was very interested in Bai Chengzhi, because he learned that Bai Chengzhi had served as Secretary Hongtao's secretary in Nanzhao.

As the saying goes, appearance comes from the heart. Bai Chengzhi didn't talk much, but his eyes were sharp, and he invisibly revealed a firm and decisive temperament.

Arriving at the restaurant, Chen Jianfei found the private room familiarly, which showed that they often gathered here.

After entering, Si Daiqiang stood up and said: "Lu Fan, you are here! Come, let me introduce you. These two are Director Kang Qiming and Deputy Director Liang Wanxiao of the General Office, both serving the leaders."

Then he introduced the two: "Jianfei doesn't need to be introduced. This is Yingjiang Executive Vice Mayor Lu Fan, this is Wang Gang from Qinchuan Province, this is Bai Chengzhi from Nanzhao Province, all are brothers of the family. In the future, everyone will come and go often, don't be restrained!"

Lu Fan suddenly realized that there was only one "outsider" today!

However, since he was here, he showed enthusiasm and friendliness, and took the initiative to chat with everyone.

After the fragrant roast whole lamb was served on the table, Si Daiqiang raised his glass and said: "Today we are rarely gathered together, mainly to celebrate Lu Fan, Jianfei, Gangzi, and Chengzhi participating in the Middle-Young Class training. I wish you success in your studies, achievements in your career, and a higher level after graduation!" After speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone responded one after another, raised their glasses, and the scene was very harmonious.

Si Daiqiang started "hitting the pass" first. The rule is "sweep the snow in front of the door first," then toast a cup, and finally clink glasses.

A 25ml wine glass, after a circle, everyone drank one and a half taels, and Si Daiqiang had to drink three taels of wine. 53-degree "Taizi" is very testing of drinking capacity.

When toasting, Si Daiqiang responded easily, his words were humorous, and he completely mobilized the atmosphere.

Lu Fan toasted second. Because he was not familiar with everyone, he was relatively polite in his words, but he drank very refreshingly.

After a circle, Lu Fan drank nearly half a catty of wine, and the wine intent came immediately, mainly because he drank too fast.

Today is a hard field, and everyone must "pass the pass."

After the "hitting the pass" ended, everyone drank one catty and two taels, mainly because it was less than an hour.

Looking at everyone as if nothing happened, Lu Fan could only rely on willpower to support, eat more dishes, drink more water, but absolutely not say cowardly words, because there is a famous saying in Qin Bei: drinking is also being a person, wine style is work style, wine quality is human quality. People who are entangled, pretend to be drunk, and play crazy are definitely not worth deep friendship.

After the pass ended, everyone started "free love" and toasted each other. This wave was more "cruel"! ===== CHAPTER 428 =====
