Duan Hengye didn't know much about Xingwang in general, but he had also seen gossip discussions about himself and Meng Jinhuai. Compared with the speech on the Star Network, the content on the Anluo Exchange Forum is much gentler. However, it can be seen that the interest of the students is definitely not low. Duan Hengye has logged in several times and found that in this exchange forum, in addition to everyone's daily chats and academic exchanges, there are also a lot of nympho and gossip about him...
Although Duan Hengye felt that those discussions were nothing, his words clearly frightened the group of students around him. The atmosphere that was very lively just now cooled down in an instant, and everyone was recalling whether they had said anything excessive on it.
During the conversation, the levitator finally reached its destination. At this time, the event is about to officially start, and most of the guests have already arrived. The place where the event was held was a large auditorium, which, from the outside, was a few years old. The decoration is a little old, but it has a very historical charm.
The event has not yet officially started, and both sides of the venue are full of historical photos of Anluo projected on light screens. Under the leadership of the volunteers, Duan Hengye walked into the venue. At this time, the guests were either chatting or listening to the volunteers introducing the content of the photos on the light screens on both sides. But after seeing Duan Hengye enter the arena, all the chattering stopped, and everyone turned their eyes towards Duan Hengye in unison.
Although he had already become the dean of the research institute, in terms of his age, Duan Hengye was definitely the youngest among the guests at the scene. But despite this, this still did not affect the other guests who cast their admiring or astonishing gazes at him.
Since entering the door, Duan Hengye has not chatted with the students around him. Duan Hengye, who is in a normal state, is definitely the best spokesperson for the word "high cold". Although everyone at the scene had heard of it, there were rumors that Duan Hengye's personality was actually not as difficult to get along with as imagined. But at this moment, everyone was still stunned by Duan Hengye's aura that kept people from thousands of miles away, and no one came to talk to him for a long time.
Because the event did not start, most of the guests did not go back to their seats, but stood in the open space in the hall. After seeing this scene, Duan Hengye stopped when he was about to reach his seat, and then looked at a light screen beside him from a distance, "Is this photo a mecha type?" He looked at it for a while. Ask the students around you.
The photo Duan Hengye asked was taken in mid-air. Although the buildings below looked a little unfamiliar, the scenery on both sides was very familiar to him. After hearing Duan Hengye's question, the volunteers who followed him immediately showed an excited look on their faces.
Although the number of school celebration volunteers is large, An Luo has more students. To be selected to participate in this event and to come to Duan Hengye's side, he had to memorize a lot of school history materials in the early stage. Everyone thought that Duan Hengye would not ask, so they were a little disappointed. But now, after hearing Professor Duan's question, the sense of loss was instantly swept away.
"Yes, Professor Duan, this is the Mecha Department. The building in the photo is the predecessor of the ring-shaped classroom we are using now." The students around Duan Hengye immediately adjusted to the best state, and then explained it to him in detail. Duan Hengye is an excellent listener, and he is very good at responding to these enthusiastic volunteers.
So some of the guests who were secretly looking at Duan Hengye found that he was really not as cold as he seemed on the surface. While listening to the explanations of the volunteers, Duan Hengye would make eye contact with them from time to time, and occasionally would follow the explanations to ask some questions.
Although Duan Hengye had a very high status, most of the people present were his "senior" and "senior sister". Therefore, after seeing his communication with his students, everyone looked at Duan Hengye's eyes and attitude, and also had a kind of kindness that elders looked at juniors.
There are only less than ten minutes left before the official start of the event, and the guests standing in the open space of the venue also began to walk back to their positions one after another. Duan Hengye also glanced at the time, and then also prepared to walk towards his seat. At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind Duan Hengye.
"Duan Hengye!" Although the voice was not loud, there were not many people who dared to call Professor Duan by the name of Professor Duan. Therefore, at the same time when these three words appeared on the scene, not only Duan Hengye, but also the others who heard it looked over there unconsciously.
The visitor was wearing a black mid-skirt and silver-gray loose silk shirt. Because he was walking a little fast, a long, well-groomed wave also swayed gently behind his head with his movements. The person here is Su Mingge. As the vice president of the Mecha Research Institute and an outstanding graduate of Anluo University, he is also an important guest today.
It's very interesting to say, since the last "sniping" incident, the relationship between Duan Hengye and Su Mingge has gotten better and better... Now Su Mingge rarely calls Duan Hengye "Professor Duan" in private. , but called his name directly.
The guests present included many members of the mecha industry, or some acquaintances related to the research institute. Before that, the relationship between Duan Hengye and Su Mingge had been the subject of gossip. Now, although they knew that the relationship between Duan Hengye and Su Mingge had become good, but after hearing Su Mingge's sudden voice, they still couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
Su Mingge walked up quickly. He was already about the same height as Duan Hengye, but now because he was wearing high heels, he was a lot taller than him. After greeting the volunteers around Duan Hengye with a smile, Su Mingge put his hand on Duan Hengye's shoulder very naturally.
"Scared me to death, I was almost late." Su Mingge complained. Although he was dressed very elegantly, Su Mingge's help was not to pretend, but to really unload his power on Duan Hengye. So Duan Hengye, who was unprepared, couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then he shrugged his shoulders to the side.
After seeing Duan Hengye's actions, Su Mingge laughed even more happily. He turned around and asked the volunteers who had been following him, "Is my seat at table A?"
After receiving the affirmative reply from the people behind him, Su Mingge walked to Duan Hengye's side again, and then said to him, "Okay, we are at a table, hurry over." Probably because the event was about to start, Su Mingge finally Straight down.
The people who sat at the same table with Duan Hengye and Su Mingge were basically representatives of various important research institutes in Interstellar. Although everyone is not in the same industry, during this year, Duan Hengye also met most of them through various banquets. Not to mention that there is an extroverted Su Mingge by his side, and he chatted with a few people around him very naturally. It has to be said that Su Mingge is really a master of active atmosphere. Duan Hengye was a little cautious when he first greeted those people, but after a while, his state also calmed down.
Everyone who knew him had already greeted him, and there was only one unfamiliar face left on the table. After seeing Duan Hengye cast his gaze towards him, the man sitting diagonally across from him also smiled at him, then got up and shook hands with Duan Hengye.
"Hello, Professor Duan, I've admired the name for a long time. I'm Shi Rongsi from the Imperial Pharmacy Research Institute." The man reported himself after standing up.
Although he recognized him just now, Duan Hengye's expression froze when he heard the name. Yetian Imperial Pharmacy Research Institute, also known as "Royal Research Institute". Unlike the Mecha Research Institute, which has gradually separated from the control of the royal family, the relationship with the royal family and the capital star has always been extremely close.
Duan Hengye had guessed before that the poison on his body was the work of this research institute... And because the Institute of Pharmacy was relatively low-key and had too close a relationship with the royal family. Its leaders rarely appear in public, and they don't even take part in the industry's related activities.
Before he came, Duan Hengye didn't think that Shi Rongsi appeared here uncharacteristically and sat at the same table as himself.
In fact, it is still unclear whether the control drug came from the Shirongsi team, and even if it is their research results, the other party is unlikely to know that Duan Hengye is one of the people under the control of the drug. But after seeing Shi Rongsi, Duan Hengye's mood was still a little complicated.
Maybe it was because he stayed with Meng Jinhuai for a long time, and Duan Hengye gradually learned how to hide and disguise. No one at the scene noticed that he was in a wrong state, but Duan Hengye also got up and shook hands with Rong Si, and then said, "Hello, Mr. Shi, I have been looking forward to you for a long time."
Now that the event is about to start, the two greeted each other and sat down. After being seated, Shi Rongsi smiled again at Duan Hengye, who was diagonally opposite, and then said, "Professor Duan is too polite, our academy has not had any sense of existence in recent years, and you probably haven't noticed it before. ." After that, the people around laughed.
Shi Rongsi's joking demeanor when he speaks is somewhat similar to Su Mingge's. Even though Duan Hengye could see that Shi Rongsi was joking with himself to liven up the atmosphere, he still felt a little awkward in his heart...
After all, Duan Hengye was really not polite. He had investigated the other party's information in detail before. It can be said that Duan Hengye is probably more familiar with Shi Rongsi and the Imperial Academy than anyone on this table.
Duan Hengye did not say these words. He just politely shook his head slightly towards the other party, and then said, "Of course not, the Imperial Academy is very famous."
Seeing Duan Hengye really responding to him, Shi Rongsi also began to praise Duan Hengye. And in the atmosphere of the industry's bigwigs touting each other, the event is finally about to start.
Duan Hengye really realized that Shi Rongsi was really a very talkative person. Compared with Su Mingge's talkative, blunt personality, Shi Rongsi always speaks with a somewhat awkward energy. So when the lights on the scene began to change and everyone became quiet, Duan Hengye could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It was also at this time that Duan Hengye noticed from the corner of his eyes that Su Mingge's gaze towards Shi Rongsi did not seem to be so friendly, and it could even be said to be slightly contradictory. Obviously not only Duan Hengye himself, but Su Mingge also noticed the strange emotions in Shi Rongsi's words.
After a while, the event finally started. As a centennial celebration event, the process is still relatively traditional. Duan Hengye saw that the retired old principals of Anluo University all appeared on the stage, and after the prolonged applause ended, they began to stand in the center of the venue in turn to review Anluo's history, by the way. Make your own speech.
It was only at this time that Duan Hengye realized that he was a little out of tune with the people around him. Except for Duan Hengye, all the people on this table now have the experience of studying in An Luo. Perhaps the person standing on the stage is not the principal when they were in school, but after all, they know the history of their school and have deep feelings for her.
The first few old principals who came to power were already very old, and some people couldn't even speak clearly. But this is nothing to the alumni sitting under the stage. Those stories and memories alone are enough to move everyone.
Duan Hengye saw that even Su Mingge, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but get excited. His eyes were gleaming, as if filled with tears. After a while, a woman in a navy blue suit stepped onto the stage, looking slightly younger than the previous speakers.
If it was placed on Earth, this lady should look like fifty or sixty years old. But Duan Hengye knew that it was an interstellar world. If he looked fifty or sixty years old, his real age was estimated to be several times higher...
As soon as the lady came to the stage, Su Mingge suddenly changed his expression. He raised his hand and began to applaud the people on stage. Because he was sitting at the first table, although Su Mingge's applause was not loud, it clearly reached the ears of the ladies on the stage. She couldn't help but look down here, and then she found Su Mingge.
"Okay, okay, Xiao Su gave me too much face." The lady on the stage smiled and waved her hand gently, and then said, "It would be nice if you gave me face like this when you were in class. ."
As soon as the voices of the people on the stage fell, there was a lot of laughter below. Listening to her words, Duan Hengye guessed that the lady standing on the stage should be Su Mingge's teacher back then. Sure enough, after hearing her words. Su Mingge also laughed, and then raised the volume slightly and said to the people on the stage, "Okay, professor."
Seeing this, the lady smiled and shook her head. At this time, Su Mingge also noticed a little doubt in Duan Hengye's eyes, he leaned over a little, and then whispered in Duan Hengye's ear: "On the stage is my former department head, and one of An Luo's former one. Vice-Chancellor."
After the speeches of the previous principals, the atmosphere at the scene has become active. After the venue was quiet, the lady on the stage began to take off the script and speak the words she had prepared in advance. Maybe it's because she's a little younger than the previous ones, her overall state is very natural, and she didn't forget to interact with some of her former students while speaking.
Duan Hengye's thoughts of running away were also pulled back.
As he was talking, the lady on the stage also noticed Duan Hengye's eyes. Suddenly, her eyes softened.
"... Now that I think about it carefully, most of my life has been related to Anluo University and mecha design. In all these years, although I have not achieved any major achievements in mecha, I have been fortunate enough to cultivate a mecha design. Another batch of outstanding students." Speaking of this, the lady on the stage read out the names of the invited students sitting in front of them with a smile, and also said the number of sessions they attended. Of course, Su Mingge is also one of them.
The style of her speech is very humorous. After speaking for a while, the scene became more active. And now, after hearing that she started reading everyone's graduation time in sequence, the atmosphere was a little teary.
After reporting the student's name, the lady's gaze finally stopped on Duan Hengye. Her voice suddenly became a little emotional, "Today, everyone can return to Anluo to participate in this event. As your teacher, I can't describe the emotion and excitement in my heart..." Her words suddenly stopped here. , the atmosphere in the hall also became serious.
Duan Hengye saw that the lady on the stage shook her head gently, she said in the direction where Duan Hengye was, "But as a teacher... and all of you friends, my heart is full of regrets today. In my many years of teaching career, the former dean of the Imperial Mecha Research Institute and the former head of the system research group are the students I am most proud of. But unfortunately, due to an accident, they cannot be present today... "
Although no names were mentioned, everyone present knew that the two people on stage were Duan Hengye's parents.
After hearing her words, Duan Hengye was a little surprised—because it was a long time ago, and because of the chaos all over the empire at that time, Duan Hengye's parents did not leave much information in An Luo, so now Duan Hengye Only then did Heng Ye know that the woman on the stage had taught them.
In addition, there are some inexplicable sourness in the bottom of my heart.
"Here, I am very grateful to Dean Duan Hengye for coming. From your body, I can see the shadows of their past." The people on the stage smiled and applauded Duan Hengye gently, and then said, " Also thank you for choosing to teach at An Luo, it is a blessing for the whole industry to develop. Your parents will be very proud of you.”
After speaking, the lady on the stage bowed gently to everyone, and then walked down. By the way, the whole venue also remembered a huge applause. Although Duan Hengye's position was very close to the stage, it was not the only way to go after stepping down. After walking down, the lady and several nearby students hugged in turn, and across the crowd, she smiled at Duan Hengye, and then snorted, "Work hard, Xiao Heng."
Unlike Meng Jinhuai who often called Duan Hengye "A-Heng", the word "Xiao Heng" was called this way only by some elders in Duan Hengye's family in the previous life. So even though Duan Hengye had never seen her before, just based on those two words just now, an inexplicable sense of closeness arose in his heart.
But when the lady who spoke just now completely disappeared in front of the stage and the next speaker appeared, Su Mingge said with some nostalgia in Duan Hengye's ear: "The professor really appreciates the old dean and the others. Mentioned in class…”
Duan Hengye did not respond to Su Mingge's words. At this moment, the two of them fell into their own memories, only one clear and one vague.
After the current president of Anluo University finished his speech, this session finally ended. Duan Hengye saw that the next speech for the student representative was written on the light screen.
In the back row of the venue were all the current An Luo students. Although the event did not specify who the representatives were, after seeing the text on the screen, there was still a lot of applause there. Duan Hengye guessed that the students probably already knew who the representative was and admired him very much.
Mecha is An Luo's ace major, but it is also a very time-consuming major to learn. In Duan Hengye's impression, it seems that there are no outstanding students in the mecha department yet, so he guessed that this representative is probably from another college.
For the vast number of interstellar students, it is not easy to enter An Luo University, let alone become a student representative.
Thinking of this, Duan Hengye couldn't help but cast his curious eyes on the stage. Then, he saw a familiar figure appearing not far away.
A black suit complements the youth's temperament. But no matter whether the temperament changes or not... Duan Hengye will never admit wrong with that face - Lan Jingchi.
Who would have thought that the rebellious male supporting actor who dropped out of An Luo halfway in the original work of "Dumping the Stars" turned out to be the representative of the entire school.
And listening to the movement behind him, it is estimated that Lan Jingchi now has a group of admirers in the school. Duan Hengye saw Lan Jingchi, and the other party naturally saw him as well. After taking the stage, Lan Jingchi first showed a bright smile at Duan Hengye before starting his speech.
As a master of ancient martial arts, Duan Hengye's hearing is very sensitive. At this time, Duan Hengye suddenly heard Shi Rongsi, who was sitting not far away, whisper Lan Jingchi's name. Then the person next to him approached and asked, "Dean Shi knows this student?"
"Yeah" Shi Rongsi nodded, "An Luo's pharmacy genius... I just declined the invitation to come to the hospital some time ago."
Hearing this, Duan Hengye's eyebrows could not help but wrinkle slightly. Lan Jingchi actually refused the invitation to go to the Royal Academy? If he remembered correctly, a few months ago, the other party made an agreement with him to become the director of the Institute of Pharmacy in the future.
Although Duan Hengye himself didn't take that promise seriously, it was unexpected for Lan Jingchi, who was a student, to refuse this invitation.
