Chapter 64: Chapter 064 At Your Age

Sheng Tang lightly pulled on her sleeve and laughed, "I get to eat meat, and others aren’t allowed to drool? Let them talk, they won’t get to eat anyway."

Jiang Baocu burst into laughter, "You really have it figured out."

"When I was your age, I also cared about everything. After going through a lot, I realized how valuable these words are—only when you are popular will people talk about you. When you’re washed up, no one even bothers to curse you, and that is truly pathetic."

Jiang Baocu: "..."

What do you mean by ’your age’? Sis, you’re only two months older than me.

Jiang was at a loss for words at Sheng Tang’s shamelessness, but at the same time felt deeply impressed by her profound thoughts.

She used to be unknown, and perhaps at that time, she too constantly thought about becoming the center of her classmates’ gossip, just like now?

Jiang Baocu no longer worried about her.

After school, Sheng Tang went to find Mr. Bai.

First, to thank him for giving her such a good opportunity; second, to ask about the rules of the speech competition.

"It consists of three parts: the first is the preliminary, which is the internal selection within each high school in the city. Each high school selects ten people to advance to the semifinals.

In the semifinals, there are two stages: a quiz and a set topic speech. Out of over two thousand preliminary contestants, fifty are selected to participate in the final.

The final is an impromptu speech, scored by the judges. It tests not only your speech flow but also the quality of your speech script. This part is the most controversial."

Sheng Tang nodded repeatedly as she listened.

Mr. Bai then asked her, "You get to go straight to the semifinals. Do you have the confidence to make it to the final? There’s only a two percent chance."

"I can’t say for sure, but I will do my best," said Sheng Tang.

Mr. Bai nodded, her attitude was pretty good.

Then, Mr. Bai told her, "Although the competition only has honor and no prize money, if you make it to the top three, our school will give you a subsidy..."

"How much?" Sheng Tang’s eyes lit up.

Back then, when she was renovating a villa, she could pull out a budget of hundreds of millions, but now she didn’t have a penny to her name.

It was quite distressing.

Many things really can’t be done without money.

Mr. Bai chuckled, "There’s a subsidy of fifty thousand."

The fire in Sheng Tang’s eyes was ignited all at once; her eyes were brighter and more dazzling than the stars in the sky.

Mr. Bai looked at her eyes, slightly stunned, thinking: This student’s eyes are very lively, as if they can speak.

"Our school is really wealthy," she said happily.

The teacher smiled helplessly, "Don’t speak ill of the school."

Sheng Tang stuck out her tongue.

She went home and told her parents about this.

Her parents were a bit worried.

"Isn’t your English not so good?" her mother said, "The teacher gave you this opportunity, can you handle it?"

"I will do my best," Sheng Tang said with a smile, "If the teacher trusts me, why don’t you?"

These words hit her parents like a wake-up call. The couple’s faces turned slightly embarrassed, feeling that they had really failed as parents.

Her father was the first to smile, "We trust you a lot too, Tangtang. Keep it up. Do you need us to help you prepare the speech?"

Sheng Tang smiled, "No need, we’ll see when the time comes."

Huishi High School spent a weekend conducting the preliminaries.

No one from Sheng Tang’s class made it through the preliminaries.

Thus, she became the only contestant from her class.

The homeroom teacher, who used to be sharp-tongued, now spoke to her gently, "Bring glory to the class, we’re all waiting for your good news."

Sheng Tang nodded and agreed.

She occasionally chatted with Jiang Baocu and asked if she knew that making it to the top three in the final could get you school support.

Jiang Baocu was slightly surprised.

She didn’t know.
