Chapter 97 Hu Kang's Fear of Giving a Speech

Hu Kang swallowed nervously, his voice barely audible, like a mosquito's hum: "Professor Zhang, I...I..."

"What are you stammering about? Just say what you have to say!" Sun Liang patted Hu Kang's shoulder casually, almost making the thin Hu Kang fall onto the table.

Hu Kang's body trembled violently, and he became even more uneasy.

He thought for a moment, then mustered his courage and said, "Professor Zhang, I'm a little scared about giving a speech on stage."

Zhou Limin, who was listening nearby, suddenly realized: "Oh! No wonder I always see you in the lab, so you're an introvert!"

Hu Kang nodded awkwardly, his face turning bright red.

He is not good at socializing, let alone giving speeches on stage.

The thought of speaking in front of so many people made his scalp tingle and his palms sweat.

Sun Liang laughed heartily: "I thought everyone knew! I didn't expect that Professor Zhang, you still don't know!"

Professor Zhang laughed heartily: "It seems I really didn't pay much attention to Xiao Hu's personality. The reason I took him on was because of his serious attitude towards experiments."

After the laughter subsided, Professor Zhang frowned again: "But given the current situation... many professors have expressed interest, and the school has agreed. If no one goes up to give a presentation, it will be a disgrace to the school."

Professor Zhang's words silenced everyone.

Professor Zhang sighed: "How about I go up and give a speech? But I'm afraid those professors won't buy into it."

Professor Zhang knew very well that those old guys were the titans of academia, and it would be difficult for him, a "junior," to convince them.

At this moment, Zhou Limin suddenly raised her hand and suggested, "Professor Zhang, why don't we let Jiang Yang go?"

Zhou Limin's suggestion drew everyone's attention to Jiang Yang.

All eyes immediately turned to Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang felt the gazes on him and shifted uncomfortably.

Professor Zhang adjusted his glasses and pondered for a moment: "Li Min, I said before that I had to choose between the two of them, but actually I originally planned to let Xiao Hu go. I also know about Jiang Yang's startup, and now is a critical period, so I was afraid of delaying him."

Jiang Yang thought for a moment and said, "If it's just about giving lectures at school, I still have time."

He turned to Hu Kang: "I still need your help to write the speech. It doesn't need to be too detailed, just a rough outline will do."

"Understood, I'll get it ready for you as soon as possible." Hu Kang pushed up his glasses, secretly relieved, and gave Jiang Yang a grateful look.

"I will adapt to the situation based on the draft."

Professor Zhang nodded when he saw that Jiang Yang had agreed: "That's good, but Jiang Yang, don't let this delay your business."

Jiang Yang smiled and said, "I will be careful, Professor Zhang."

After the meeting adjourned, Hu Kang, Sun Liang, and Professor Zhang left the conference room one after another.

Zhou Limin called out to Jiang Yang.

"Jiang Yang, wait a minute."

Jiang Yang stopped and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Zhou Limin walked up to Jiang Yang and asked, "Have you encountered any problems with your startup recently? I can help."

"Things have been going well lately, no problems."

Zhou Limin was clearly skeptical: "I heard that Wang Jiang has his eye on you. If you can't handle it, tell me and I'll step in."

Jiang Yang was grateful, but still politely declined her offer: "I can handle this, there's no need to trouble you."

"Alright then, but remember, contact me if you need anything. Wang Jiang might use some underhanded tactics, so be careful."

Jiang Yang nodded: "I understand, thank you, Li Min."

Watching Jiang Yang's departing figure, a trace of worry flashed in Zhou Limin's eyes.

She knew Wang Jiang's character very well; he was vengeful and held grudges.

Jiang Yang probably won't be able to escape so easily this time.

Zhou Limin watched Jiang Yang leave, then paced back and forth for a few steps.

She knew Wang Jiang's character all too well.

Jiang Yang is likely in grave danger this time.

She had to do something.

Zhou Limin summoned his bodyguards and commanded in an unquestionable tone: "Arrange for two people to secretly protect Jiang Yang."

The bodyguard looked troubled: "Miss, this..."

"What? My words don't carry any weight?" Zhou Limin's eyes sharpened.

The bodyguard's forehead was beaded with cold sweat: "No, miss, it's just a matter of manpower..."

Zhou Limin interrupted him: "Don't talk to me about these things. If the Wang family makes a move against Jiang Yang, can you stop them? Jiang Yang is someone I've taken a liking to. If something happens to him, where will I put my face?"

The bodyguard immediately understood the seriousness of the situation and dared not refuse any longer: "I'll arrange it right away."

Watching the bodyguard's departing figure, Zhou Limin felt a little more at ease.

Jiang Yang, you absolutely must succeed!

On the other side, Jiang Yang had not gone far from the meeting room when he ran into Principal Cai Peiyuan.

As soon as Cai Peiyuan saw Jiang Yang, he burst into laughter: "Jiang Yang, I was just looking for you, I didn't expect to run into you here."

Jiang Yang was somewhat surprised: "Principal, what do you need me for?"

Cai Peiyuan's smile held a hint of mystery: "I heard you're planning something big at this sports meet?"

Jiang Yang was taken aback, then scratched his head, not expecting their plan to reach the principal's ears so quickly: "It seems nothing can be hidden from you."

Cai Peiyuan patted Jiang Yang on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Go for it! The school fully supports you! Now is a critical period for reform and opening up, and we need young people like you to set an example and inspire more college students to be enthusiastic about entrepreneurship."

Jiang Yang said firmly, "Principal, we will definitely live up to your expectations and go all out!"

Cai Peiyuan nodded in satisfaction, offered Jiang Yang a few words of encouragement, and then left.

Jiang Yang stood there, his heart burning with excitement.

The school's support undoubtedly gave him a boost, and his entrepreneurial plans became clearer in his mind.

He must act immediately!

Jiang Yang took out the student contact list, found the number of Song Kai, the teacher in charge of the sports meet, and dialed it.

"Hello, Teacher Song, this is Jiang Yang."

"Jiang Yang? Is something the matter?" Song Kai's voice sounded somewhat tired.

"Well, Ms. Song, I'd like to sponsor this school sports meet," Jiang Yang said, getting straight to the point.

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Song Kai's slightly surprised voice: "Sponsorship? University students sponsoring the sports meet? Did I hear that right?"

Jiang Yang could sense Song Kai's surprise: "You heard me right, Teacher Song, I really do want to sponsor this sports meet."

"You are... that Jiang Yang?" Song Kai asked tentatively.

“Yes, it’s me,” Jiang Yang answered confidently.

"Oh, if it's you, then there's no problem!" Song Kai's tone suddenly became enthusiastic. "I knew it! Which student had such courage? It's you, Jiang Yang! Your entrepreneurial story is all over the school now. You're truly a promising young man!"
