This year's Wujing summer camp is still located in the Q University as in previous years, and the scope of activities is basically delineated around the physics building, which is more convenient for Xu Kaiqing.
But even so, before the news was released, no one thought that he would go to the scene in person.
After all, it didn't have it in previous years, so it doesn't deserve it this year!
So when Xu Kaiqing let go and offered to speak at the opening ceremony, everyone was dumbfounded.
After a long while, he reacted in a daze.
Professor A: "I just had a physical examination last week, and there is nothing wrong with my ears!" Why does it seem like auditory hallucinations
Professor B: "Is the sun coming out from the west?"
Professor C swallowed, but he didn't doubt what he heard. He was worried that Xu Kaiqing didn't express clearly, so—
"Can you, can you say it again?"
Xu Kaiqing was amused by the reaction of these people: "Look at you! Isn't it just to talk? As for making such a fuss?"
"As for ah!"
The last time you gave a public speech was at the awarding ceremony of the China Medal, the last time it was the UN Climate Summit, and the last time the International Quantum Computing Summit Forum...
Compared with a small camp opening ceremony, it is obviously not in the same class!
No one has ever thought of asking Xu Kaiqing to go to the scene, even though he still bears the title of director of the National Competition Committee.
For one thing, the old professor was not young, and he was tossing back and forth, fearing that his body would not be able to bear it.
Secondly, there are many people involved in this kind of occasion, and accidents are prone to happen. If Xu Kaiqing is going, he must arrange bodyguards to accompany him and be responsible for his personal safety.
Xu Kaiqing felt that it was motivating the crowd, so except for the occasions where he had to attend, he generally would not show up easily.
In the end, he is too busy. There are not ten or eight meetings and speeches that are rejected every day. Isn’t it good to do experiments and write papers behind closed doors
That's why everyone was so surprised when he offered to take a look at the opening ceremony.
It's so weird...
"Professor, the clothes are here, do you think you should hang them up first, or just put them on?" Assistant Xiao Zhang came in from outside, holding a set of neatly pressed suits in his hand.
Several professors were shocked again.
This is a battle robe, a "big killer" that can't be worn easily, but it was arranged quietly
Xu Kaiqing himself didn't think it was strange at all, he seemed quite satisfied: "Isn't the old Shen's family ironing it? This is very shiny! Change it, change it now!"
He's going to meet the "goddess" in a while!
Recently he learned a new word on the Internet - "goddess"! So worry about being worthy, he thought to himself.
Xiao Zhang hurried forward to help, it is not easy to keep a few professors, and they need to change their clothes!
"Then Professor Xu, let's go first. How about I always arrange the speech at the front?"
"Okay, you can figure it out."
have to! Really want to go!
The three of them came out in a file. At first, they were silent and thoughtful, but then they directly discussed—
A: "Professor Xu is a bit abnormal." It is a declarative sentence.
B: "I think so too."
C: "..."
A: "Why don't you talk?"
C: "I'm wondering if there are any female professors among the speakers we invited this time."
B: "Huh?"
C: "Otherwise, why is Mr. Xu dressed up so well? Not only women can be pleasing to themselves, but men can too."
hiss…
The other two gasped.
"Isn't that possible? Who doesn't know that Mr. Xu devoted his whole life to the cause of science, never married, no children, and his eyes are full of his experimental data."
"I also think this is too outrageous. Perhaps Mr. Xu just wanted to express the importance he attaches to this summer camp? After all, there is a task for this time..."
"Believe it or not, believe it or not! Why, the old house is not allowed to catch fire, the most beautiful sunset is red? I think it would be nice for Mr. Xu to find a like-minded partner, at least he won't be too lonely in his later years."
The other two fell silent.
Yes, Mr. Xu has always lived for scientific research in his life, and he has never lived for himself...
"Guoshi Wushuang, do you think it's so simple?"
The wind passed silently, and the sun was bright.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the auditorium was overcrowded, and the opening ceremony was held as scheduled.
Originally, there were not so many people. There were only twenty-five shortlisted for the summer camp this time, and they sat neatly in the first row. The rest were all aimed at Xu Kaiqing, and most of them were students from Q University's main school.
"Even they don't see Professor Xu often?"
"Mr. Xu is usually very busy. He is not holding academic conferences, doing research in the laboratory, staring at data, and occasionally leading a doctoral student to guide a dissertation. As for undergraduates and masters students, it is difficult to meet him!"
"So we're not lucky this time?"
"It's not just lucky, it's simply a beauty!"
"..."
When the host came to the stage, he first welcomed everyone, then briefly introduced the training camp, and finally the main event came—
"Next, we invite Professor Xu Kaiqing to give a speech on stage!"
Wow!
Suddenly, there was thunderous applause.
Xu Kaiqing stuffed the small mirror back into Xiao Zhang's hand, straightened the neckline of his shirt, and adjusted his facial expression before walking onto the stage from the side and sitting on the chair prepared in advance.
In front of him was a podium with an amplified microphone, and hot tea was prepared to moisten his throat. There were two security personnel standing on the left and one on the right, and two behind the scenes were on call at any time.
"Students, hello everyone, I am Xu Kaiqing..."
The script was prepared long ago, and he wrote it all down, so he didn't have to look down at the speech script.
When Xu Kaiqing opened his mouth, he turned his eyes to the audience, and swept across the first row, there was no...
Second row, still nothing.
The third row, the fourth row... none.
Even further away, his old eyes are dim, and he can't see clearly.
But if he remembered correctly, the students in the summer camps used to sit in the first row, and the teacher who led the team would strictly count the number of people, and there were no mistakes or omissions.
But Jiang Fuyue was not seen in the first row this year, and his heart sank slightly.
"... There are twenty-five people on the list for this year's summer camp, are they all here?"
The teacher who led the team responded happily in the audience: "All are here!"
Xu Kaiqing couldn't help frowning, his eyes swept away, and it was indeed twenty-five.
At the same time, Ling Xuan was also frowning.
Jiang Fuyue obviously didn't come, but the other party said everything, what's going on
Surprise flashed across Ren Xinghe's eyes, but he didn't say anything, and listened to Xu Kaiqing's speech as usual.
Zhao Yongtao also came today, in a suit and tie, very formally dressed.
As a representative of the Imperial City Assets Committee, he was able to sit in the middle right of the leadership seat, not the tallest, but not low either.
Next to it are representatives of other units.
Zhao Tong successfully completed the admission procedures in the morning, and is now sitting in the first row of the student seats.
Zhao Yongtao glanced in that direction, and couldn't help feeling a sense of pride.
His granddaughter is indeed the best, after all she has his surname and was raised by him alone.
As long as he passes the selection for this summer camp and shows his face in the international competition, no matter whether he wins the prize or not in the end, it will be enough to recommend him to the highest university in China.
Of course, this still needs some work.
But it's a small problem.
Zhao Yongtao has already begun to imagine that in the near future, when his precious granddaughter receives the recommendation letter from Q University, she will be ecstatic.
At this moment, there seemed to be a small commotion at the scene.
Zhao Yongtao came back to his senses and found that Xu Kaiqing on the stage had stopped speaking, and at the moment he was sizing up the students off the stage with a serious face.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the assistant Xiao Zhang immediately stepped forward and asked nervously, "Mr. Xu, what's the problem?"
Xu Kaiqing didn't respond, and glanced at the twenty-five students in the front row again, then turned to the teacher in charge: "Where's Jiang Fuyue?"
The microphone was still on, and no matter how small the voice was, it could spread to every corner of the audience. What's more, Xu Kaiqing's voice was not low, and it could even be said to be a little aggressive.
As soon as Xiao Zhang heard this tone, he knew that the old man was angry.
This is beyond his control, and he stepped aside wisely, waiting quietly and sincerely chanting sutras in his heart for the unlucky people who are about to suffer.
The teacher who led the team was suddenly cueed, and was a little confused: "You, who are you talking about?"
Xu Kaiqing said into the microphone, "Jiang Fuyue, the first place in the rematch this year, the only one in the country with a perfect score, where is she?"
With trembling hands, the teacher leading the team took out the list from the bag, Jiang Fuyue, Jiang...
There is no one named Jiang!
But in the audience, Ling Xuan raised his eyebrows, surprised that Professor Xu said Jiang Fuyue's name out of nowhere.
Ren Xinghe was stunned at first, then thought flashed in his eyes.
As for Zhao Yongtao...
Already trembling all over, sweating profusely, how can there be half of the previous calmness
How can it be
How, how did Professor Xu know about Jiang Fuyue
Isn't he just an ordinary student with a slightly higher score
