20: As the person currently holding the highest position in the scientific community of China, you still need a high school diploma?

Yang City in Dragon Country.

It was currently the peak of summer in July.

The weather was scorching hot.

Lu Jianguo finished his shift at his fruit shop.

He brought back several watermelons.

As soon as he returned, he put them in the refrigerator.

Zhao Lan heard the door open.

She came out of the kitchen tying her apron.

She wiped her greasy hands on the apron.

"Why did you bring so many watermelons?"

A smile played on Lu Jianguo's face.

"Isn't our precious son coming back?"

"Even if our son is coming back, he can't eat that many watermelons."

"Besides!"

"I've made so many sweet and sour pork ribs for him."

"He won't have enough room in his stomach for your watermelons!"

"What do you know? So many people are watching over us day and night."

"We have to prepare some watermelon for them to eat."

As he spoke, Lu Jianguo pointed outside.

"Look at how hot it is."

"I was driving with the air conditioning on and it was still incredibly hot."

"Not to mention those who have been out in this blazing sun."

As he spoke, Lu Jianguo held a watermelon in his hands and took it to the window.

He faced a certain spot outside.

He waved his hand, though he didn't know the exact location.

Anyway, the other party could definitely see him.

While waving, he pointed at the watermelon in his hand.

He signaled to the people protecting him somewhere outside to remember to come and eat watermelon!

In a room of a tall building eight hundred meters away.

Dragon Fang lay steadily on the ground.

Through the scope of the L115 sniper rifle in his hand, he clearly saw Lu Jianguo's actions.

Then he spoke into his headset:

"Report, Target B has started performing actions that expose our presence again."

"We must warn them."

After a moment, Cheng Yong's voice came through the headset.

"I will tell Chief Engineer Lu and have him give them a reminder."

"He's going back to school today."

"How is the observation on your end?"

A voice sounded in the headset.

"Report, this is snake fang. Currently, there are no abnormalities within two kilometers of the school."

"However, I have a question."

"Speak!" Cheng Yong's voice was devoid of emotion.

"Chief Engineer Lu is clearly so busy, and his status is already the highest in our Dragon Country's scientific research community."

"Why does he still need to come back for this high school graduation diploma??"

As soon as this question was asked.

The entire Poison Fang Squad's wireless channel fell into silence.

After a long while, Cheng Yong's voice finally rang out.

"Our duty is to protect Chief Engineer Lu. Discuss fewer trivial matters."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded loudly through their headsets.

Just when everyone thought the discussion was over.

Cheng Yong's voice rang out again, "I suppose it's for the sake of sentiment."

"After all, Chief Engineer Lu's start was too fast."

"He went directly from an ordinary high school student to the top of Dragon Country's scientific community."

"He hasn't had time to transition from his identity as a high school student yet."

"This is also quite normal!"

"Let's end this topic here."

"Next, I will talk about the arrangements."

"We have received news that agents from the Japan will be coming!"

"They will certainly be disadvantageous to Chief Engineer Lu!"

"He is now our Dragon Country's national treasure!"

"So everyone, stay sharp and give it your all."

"First, Wolf Fang, you are in charge of the crowd... Tiger Fang, you are in charge of..."

...Yangcheng No. 3 Middle School.

The sun was shining brightly!

On the massive school playground.

It was filled with parents and their children who had come to observe.

This was the moment their high school careers ended.

At the same time, it was the moment to start their new lives in university.

Those students who had been admitted to good universities.

Would give speeches on the podium.

Thanking the school and teachers for their cultivation, and giving advice to their younger schoolmates.

Then they would take the high school graduation certificates handed over by the teachers.

After expressing their gratitude to the entire audience.

The whole process would be considered complete.

Sitting on the podium at the front of the playground were the school principal, leaders, and many leaders from the City Education Department.

This day was the time when dozens of middle schools in Yang City held their graduation ceremonies simultaneously.

On one hand, it was a farewell ceremony.

On the other hand, it was also a time to showcase their teaching strength.

Whichever middle school had more students admitted to key universities, with prominent results in 211 and 985 institutions.

That school's weight in the Education Department would be higher.

They would receive better resources in the coming year.

And Yangcheng No. 3 Middle School had historically been at a lower-middle level among the dozens of middle schools in Yang City.

This time, although the school had met the minimum requirements for the third-tier university line.

Its number of students in key universities still ranked near the bottom in Yang City.

If it weren't for a few particularly terrible middle schools at the very bottom.

The Third High School would have almost been the absolute last.

Depending on the school's strength, the rank of the officials from the Education Department who came to observe the ceremony also varied.

Over the years, it had always been Section Chief Zheng who came to the Third High School.

He looked at Principal Huang sitting in front.

This Principal Huang was also consistent.

Under his leadership, the level of the Third High School had not improved for years.

It had always been this backward.

He didn't know when it would be his turn to go to those top-ranked middle schools.

He heard that several division chiefs in the unit were competing fiercely, both openly and secretly, for those schools.

Schools with strong capabilities and a few famous students not only had good resources.

The higher-ups would also take them very seriously; if he were in charge, he could even get a promotion within the Education Department.

Then he secretly grumbled again.

Damn it, I've been a section chief for so many years.

Could it be because I'm tied to this Third High School?

How unlucky, having to attend this silly graduation ceremony that has absolutely no highlights.

Thinking of this, Section Chief Zheng picked up the prepared mineral water and took a sip.

Not even a cup of tea was prepared, just this tasteless mineral water.

Bah!

I'm telling you, I won't come to this Third High School next time.

Just then, a burst of warm applause rang out below.

Section Chief Zheng looked up.

The already balding Principal Huang walked to the podium.

He began his opening remarks for the ceremony.

"Respected parents, distinguished guests."

"And leaders of the Education Bureau."

"Hello everyone!"

"I am the principal of Yangcheng No. 3 Middle School, Huang Gaosheng!"

"I announce that the Grade 12 graduation ceremony of Yangcheng No. 3 Middle School..."

"...is now officially beginning."

"Next, our school's top science student, Tian Yong, will come to the stage to give a speech."

"Let's welcome him with applause!"

Clap clap clap!

A round of applause rang out below.

Perhaps Principal Huang also felt the graduation ceremony was boring, as he didn't give a long opening speech like usual.

It was very brief, as he just wanted to finish it quickly.

A tall boy wearing thick glasses walked up from below.

He began to share his learning experiences and expectations for the future... Below the podium, in the formation of Grade 12 Class 5.

The class teacher Zhu Shiyong's wrist was wrapped in a white bandage.

He looked a bit nervous.

The students in the class didn't look as excited as those in other classes either.

Because a certain figure would automatically appear in their minds.

It was the shadow that had left a deep impression on so many people in their class at Jinhao Hotel.

Lu Feng was not seen in the class now.

But someone discovered that Lu Feng's parents had come.

They were sitting on small stools.

Their position was right behind the class teacher Zhu Shiyong.

Xie Chao swallowed; the bruise on his forehead had not yet faded.

In a while, he would also go up to give a speech.

He looked around nervously but didn't see that figure.

His father Xie Zhi had also come; he had some thoughts of his own and still wanted to investigate Lu Feng's bottom.

There were some losses he couldn't take without knowing why.

Chen Xilan and her parents were sitting behind Xie Chao.

She had been admitted to a 211 institution in the Southwest.

She would also go on stage to give a speech; she squeezed the speech script in her hand, feeling nervous.

On the podium, the previous student had finished speaking.

At this moment, a sudden clamor came from the entrance of the playground.

It was very noisy!

Everyone looked over there!
