Many people were surprised.
Who doesn't know that Shen Zhijin has a very high vision, even if the annual doctorate quota is wasted, he will not easily recruit people.
Now, saying this in front of so many people is equivalent to giving Ning Li a promise in advance.
Xu Yin was very aware of Shen Zhijin's appreciation for Ning Li, so he smiled and said:
"Yes, Ari's paper was corrected by Zhijin."
Helped to revise the thesis, included in the research group, and brought them together to participate in the seminar
This really means that he has already regarded Ning Li as his student.
Everyone looked at Ning Li with more serious eyes.
A Xu Yin is already powerful enough, and now she has a backer like Shen Zhijin, the future of this girl is really unimaginable.
A staff member came over:
"Professor Shen, the meeting is about to begin, please take your seat."
Shen Zhijin nodded, and then walked forward.
The seats in the venue are divided into A zone and B zone.
People like Shen Zhijin and Xu Yin are of course in Zone A, and they are in the first row.
Ning Li and Yan Qiu were assigned to Area B.
But fortunately, the seats of both of them are relatively forward, which is considered a good position.
Ning Li found the sign with her name on it and sat down.
Yan Qiu sat next to her.
From their place, they could also see Xu Yin sitting at the front, and the rostrum in the middle of the front.
At ten o'clock, the seminar officially started, and the venue fell silent.
Ning Li raised her eyes and looked at Shen Zhijin who appeared on the rostrum.
Shen Zhijin stood still, put down the report, and opened it.
In fact, he can memorize all the content above.
Whether it is lectures or reports, he has never been unscripted.
Taking it to the stage is just a formality, and it is the same today.
He starts off well, as always, with precision, flow and spontaneity.
However, at a certain moment, he unintentionally raised his eyes, looked towards the auditorium ahead, and saw Ning Li.
She was sitting where she was, looking over here.
It was obvious that she listened carefully.
On the young and beautiful face, the peach blossom eyes seem to be shining with stars, the corners of the lips are slightly pursed, and the pear dimple is looming.
He suddenly choked.
"I didn't expect Professor Shen's daughter to be so beautiful."
Suddenly, without any warning, that voice reverberated in my ears again.
Like a sharp blade, it comes swiftly, mercilessly cutting off all reason and thoughts.
Shen Zhijin's voice suddenly stopped, and his mind went blank for an instant.
The pause was sudden.
In the microphone, the man's clear voice came to an abrupt end.
In an instant, the venue could hear the sound of falling needles.
Everyone was looking at Shen Zhijin.
He stood on the stage with his shoulders straight, but suddenly fell silent.
one second.
two seconds.
three seconds.
The audience gradually became restless, and many people looked at each other in blank dismay.
Shen Zhijin seems to be distracted!
On such an occasion!
Whispers came from behind.
"What happened to Professor Shen?"
"I don't know, why did you stop talking all of a sudden?"
"It's obviously very good."
Ning Li also frowned slightly, she turned her head and asked softly:
"Brother, what's wrong with Mr. Shen?"
Yan Qiu was also taken aback.
"I-I don't know about this, the boss has never done this before."
Shen Zhijin has always been cautious in doing things and strives for perfection.
He has high demands on others and is even more strict on himself.
No matter how small things are, he will do his best.
What's more, it is now in such a top-level seminar!
Time seems to be extremely difficult at this time, and every second becomes viscous.
Xu Yin finally couldn't hold back anymore, frowned, and gestured to Shen Zhijin.
"Knowledge!"
His position was right in front of Shen Zhijin, so Shen Zhijin could easily see him.
Finally, the blankness gradually receded, and the noisy voices in the venue re-entered the ears.
Shen Zhijin finally came back to his senses.
He lowered his eyes, turned over a page of the report in his hand, and finally connected it.
His voice still sounded clear and calm, as if the silent gap in the middle never existed.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, some people found it strange.
"What's going on? Did Professor Shen forget his words just now?"
"Impossible, that's Shen Zhijin"
"I've seen him report many times, but I've never done this before. He was silent for a whole minute just now!"
Ning Li leaned on the back of the chair, feeling puzzled in her heart.
How could things like forgetting words happen to Shen Zhijin
No one knew why Shen Zhijin was silent at that minute.
No one knew what he was thinking during that short and long period of time.
Fortunately, everything went well afterwards, and most people didn't pay much attention to it.
Only Xu Yin, looking at Shen Zhijin, sighed softly in his heart.
The morning meeting is over, and it is time for lunch and lunch break for the participants.
Ning Li and Yan Qiu first evacuated from the back door of the venue.
Lunch is a buffet, just on the first floor.
Xu Yin and Shen Zhijin still have some things to deal with, and it will be a little later, so they didn't make them wait.
The two carried trays and chose meals on the first floor.
There were quite a few people, many of them recognized Ning Li and Yan Qiu, and greeted them one after another.
Ning Li chose a seat by the window, and Yan Qiu sat opposite her.
It was only halfway through the meal that she saw Xu Yin and Shen Zhijin coming over.
Ning Li thought of Shen Zhijin's one minute of silence in the opening report, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't pass.
Yan Qiu seemed to agree with her, looked over there, and then looked away.
After lunch, Ning Li went to say hello to Xu Yin and Shen Zhijin before leaving.
Shen Zhijin's eyes lingered on Ning Li's back for a moment.
Enough, Shen Zhijin.
He heard his own voice echoing in his mind.
A sober and cold reminder.
The next moment, he looked away.
Xu Yin looked at him, frowning slightly, with a hesitant expression.
".Zhijin, you—"
Speaking of this, I don't know how to speak the rest of the words.
Shen Zhijin raised her head, her tone calm:
"Do you want egg custard?"
Xu Yin sighed in his heart and shook his head.
The afternoon session starts at three o'clock.
This time, the participants were all allocated rooms for resting.
But Ning Li lives on campus, so it's convenient to come here, just for lunch break.
Coincidentally, Xu Yin lived on the same floor as her, and the rooms were very close to each other.
At half past two, Ning Li packed up and went out, and happened to meet Xu Yin.
Xu Yin waved at her.
Ning Li walked over.
"Teacher Xu."
Xu Yin asked with a smile:
"How did you hear the morning meeting?"
Ning Li said:
"Very good, learned a lot."
Xu Yin nodded and pressed the elevator.
Ning Li looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"However, I just don't know what Teacher Shen is... Could it be because of the incident that happened when I came here in the morning?"
The smile on Xu Yin's face faded a lot:
"...you've always been smart."
This is the answer in the affirmative.
Ning Li frowned slightly, but felt even more strange.
"But that was just a little misunderstanding"
Xu Yin was silent for a moment, and looked over with complicated eyes.
"Zhijin, he had a daughter before."
