Lin Chuan went upstairs, passing by each classroom, from Junior Grade 1 Class 1 to Senior Grade 3 Class 3.

"Why not gather the kids and give them a few words?" Mu Bai suggested with a smile.

"No need." Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "Just stopping by to have a look is fine."

"Really?" Mu Bai smiled and said, "You are, after all, the honorary principal and a donor. It's really inappropriate if you don't say a few words."

At this moment, an elderly man with silvery hair approached.

"Principal Liu." Mu Bai hurriedly said with a smile, "This is Lin Chuan."

"I know him, I know him," Principal Liu said excitedly. "Lin Chuan is so famous, how could I not know him? Besides, I used to work at Changlin Factory, and was once the principal of the Changlin Factory affiliated school."

"Ah..." Lin Chuan was startled and said, "It turns out it's Mr. Liu."

"I don't deserve such praise," Principal Liu quickly waved his hand.

Principal Liu's real name is Liu Jianhua. He was the principal of the Changlin Factory affiliated school and had been selected as a national outstanding teacher, and even more often as a provincial outstanding teacher. He retired years ago, and when he heard Mu Bai was starting a Hope School, he volunteered for the position. Naturally, Mu Bai was very happy to appoint him as the principal of the Lin Chuan Hope School.

Lin Chuan excitedly shook Principal Liu's hand and said, "Principal Liu, I never thought I would see you again! Ah, it's been so many years. I didn't expect your hair to have turned so white!"

"I used to teach mathematics, wearing out the brain," laughed Principal Liu.

"Indeed!" Lin Chuan nodded.

Principal Liu said with emotion, "I never expected it. After you left, we lost all contact. When you came back, things had changed so drastically. Indeed, a hero from youth."

"You flatter me too much, Principal Liu," Lin Chuan said awkwardly.

"How could I?" laughed Principal Liu. "Come on, I just heard Mu Bai suggest you talk to the kids. Don't decline any more. With such rich life experiences, you should definitely speak to them. It's fine if you don't address the junior students, but you must speak to the high school students. They are in the midst of adolescence; you should say a few words to them!"

"Since the former principal has said so, then I definitely can't decline any further," Lin Chuan said with a wry smile.

"Come on!" Principal Liu still held Lin Chuan's hand tightly.

A group of them went up to a large classroom on the third floor, which was arranged as a makeshift conference room. Many chairs were set up. Hearing Lin Chuan was visiting, more than ten teachers gathered on the third floor, with junior students left to self-study, while high school classes all came to the third-floor conference room.

"Lin Chuan, you are the hero of Jiangbei City."

"Yes, yes, your handling of the Song Hao case was a shock to the entire country."

"I can't believe you got through it unscathed."

Teachers surrounded Lin Chuan, seeming extremely respectful and admiring. Lin Chuan could only smile wryly, helplessly responding to these rather tedious and inevitable questions.

Soon, the conference room was packed with students.

Principal Liu and a row of teachers sat in the front row, looking at Lin Chuan with gratified and admiring eyes. Among the students, most displayed fervent worship; their gazes filled with extreme excitement and enthusiasm. For them, Lin Chuan epitomized the hero, embodying the youthful heroism often written about in their texts.

Mu Bai slowly walked up to the conference room's podium with a smile on her face. This radiant woman was also an object of admiration for the entire school's faculty and students.

Everyone knew that Mu Bai had been a leading host at the TV station. With her charming appearance and proud figure, she was Jiangbei City's golden flower and a goddess in the hearts of the common people. Now, however, she had given up such a promising career to engage in education, earning sincere admiration from many.

"Students, teachers," Mu Bai stood on the podium and spoke earnestly, "Today, we have invited the donor of Lin Chuan Hope School, who is also our school's honorary principal. His story is something from which each of us can learn, and his legend is something that can inspire us all. So today, let's have Principal Lin say a few words. Okay?"

"Yes!" shouted the teachers and students together, with Principal Liu also unable to help himself from shouting, "Lin Chuan, say a few words."

"Right, right, say a few words to the students!" the group of teachers shouted.

With a smile, Mu Bai said, "Then, please give Lin Chuan some applause."

Whirl of applause...

Immediately, a wave of warm applause thundered through the classroom.

Lin Chuan felt a bit embarrassed, not expecting the scene to be so lively. He looked noticeably awkward.

Under Mu Bai's signaling, the applause at the scene ceased. Mu Bai looked at Lin Chuan sitting next to Principal Liu and said, "Lin Chuan, everyone's mood is so uplifted, don't let everyone down. Come up and say a few words."

Lin Chuan stood up with a smile and then slowly walked onto the podium.

Below him were over a hundred pairs of eyes eagerly watching him. It was Lin Chuan's first time standing at such an event, and he suddenly felt a bit nervous. After feeling slightly anxious, Lin Chuan calmed his mood and then smiled, "Classmates, I won't preach any grand principles. Let's just have a casual chat. I am a child of Changlin Factory..."

Lin Chuan really didn't preach any grand principles; instead, he talked about the fun he had at school, reminiscing about the years spent in his school life. It seemed as if Lin Chuan brought everyone into a beautiful memory, sharing such a beautiful story, making everyone feel its immense beauty.

After finishing speaking, Mu Bai smiled and said, "Lin Chuan has shared his beautiful student days with us. So, next, the students can ask Lin Chuan a few questions."

Hustle and bustle…

The scene was very lively, with many people raising their hands.

Lin Chuan pointed to a girl in the front row. The girl was very shy and wore a school uniform. Blushing, she asked, "Uncle Lin, what do you think of puppy love?"

"Early romance?" Lin Chuan chuckled and said, "Why not? It's very normal for two people to fall in love. As long as it doesn't affect studies, and maybe even encourages each other, why not?"

Some teachers seemed to have opinions.

Lin Chuan pointed to another boy. The boy was bold, "Uncle Lin, I heard that you started the Jvyi Gang, can I join in the future?"

"Of course!" Lin Chuan nodded.

At that moment, some teachers couldn't sit still any longer. Just as a stern-looking teacher was about to stand up, Principal Liu signaled him to sit down.

Lin Chuan changed the topic slightly, "However, don't think it's easy to join Jvyi Gang. Jvyi Gang isn't some ruffian gang but rather a structured, disciplined societal organization, which can also be called a corporate organization. Our official name is Feixiang Company, and maybe after a year, it will be renamed to a group company. I believe our group will become a publicly listed company within five years and achieve profits in the billions. By the time you graduates from university, wanting to join Feixiang Group would at least require a bachelor's degree, right? So, my friends, work hard."

Another boy stood up, "Uncle Lin, I really want to work hard, but I can't calm my mind. I always feel like I can't do anything, can you help me?"

"Alright, have a seat," Lin Chuan glanced at him.

The boy obediently sat down.

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "I believe this isn't just your problem, but everyone's problem. After all, at your age, your heart is filled with rebellious thoughts. And more or less, everyone wants to showcase themselves, but just aren't mature enough, right?"

"Right!" Everyone nodded.

Lin Chuan earnestly said, "Classmates, at your age, your hearts are too impetuous, your thoughts too hasty. Do you know why a compass can draw a circle? That's because its center point stays still while it moves. Why can't you succeed or progress? It's because your heart is moving, but your feet aren't."

Hustle and bustle…

A burst of eager applause erupted at the scene.

Lin Chuan's words were truly classic. Principal Liu couldn't help but give Lin Chuan a thumbs up.

Mu Bai excitedly said, "Classmates, did you all hear that? If a person has a dream, then be confident and pursue it diligently. Don't be indecisive or overly ambitious. As long as we stay confident and committed to our dreams, I believe you all will definitely succeed."

The meeting dispersed.

Mu Bai accompanied Lin Chuan as they walked around the school.

The school was not big; they roughly toured the whole school in half an hour, entering each classroom. Currently, only the first two floors were being used, while the top three floors were temporarily not used as classrooms, but as sports facilities for the children. The third floor houses table tennis rooms, badminton rooms... These indoor sports activities were basically arranged on the third or fourth floors.

"The teaching environment is still quite ordinary." Mu Bai smiled and said, "But, I'm already very satisfied."

"I will do my best to help you with the land at Changlin Factory," Lin Chuan smiled.

"Really?" Mu Bai suddenly stopped, then blinked her beautiful eyes at Lin Chuan and asked, "Lin Chuan, why are you so good to me?"

"Hehe, who made me do such a foolish thing at first," Lin Chuan scratched his head helplessly.

"You're still bringing that up!" Mu Bai glared at Lin Chuan.

"Err..." Lin Chuan was startled and awkwardly said, "Yes, yes, let's not mention it!"

Mu Bai's face had turned red; she lowered her head, but her mind was echoing with the events of that night. Although she had been trying hard to forget, she found that no matter how hard she tried, she could never forget the experience of that night. The pain, yet mixed with joy. She never dared to mention this to anyone, as she planned to completely hide this incident deep in her heart.
