I’m Really a Superstar

Great Hall.

After returning to his seat, Zhang Ye found Dean Pan of the School of Mathematical Sciences of Peking University who was sitting next to him, and returned the manuscript of his previous speech to him, "You can find someone else, I can't do this job."

Dean Pan was confused, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Ye said: "The superiors asked for something to be added."

After listening to a few words, Dean Pan finally understood, "At this time, the replacement can't catch up. That's not possible. You have to go up. Teacher Xiao Zhang, you can't let go. In this way, if you don't want to worry about the manuscript, Write it, and I will find someone for you to add the things required by the school leaders, and then you just read it." Pan Yang himself doesn't like this very much. For him, academics are academics, and he must add them. Politics and color make a lot of things that are good for you, me, and everyone, which is always a bit off. But in the education circle, as a member of Peking University, it is impossible to completely stay out of the matter, so in this big dyeing vat Here, we can only find a relative balance.

After ten minutes of persuasion, Zhang Ye was still undecided. Normally, Dean Pan had just promoted him to an associate professor, so he should give him this face. But in his heart, Zhang Ye really didn't have a good impression of these Japanese people. He didn't want to It is difficult for others to force him to do what he wants to do.

Dean Pan said: "It's settled, stop talking, let's start right away."

Zhang Ye said helplessly: "Dean Pan."

Dean Pan pointed to the foreigners over there and said with a smile: "Mathematicians from all over the world are also waiting to hear your reports and speeches. Everyone is looking forward to it."

On the stage, the host is already ready. The auditorium was basically filled with 80% of the people. Everyone who was supposed to come was here, except for the people from the Japanese delegation.

"Where are the people?"

"Why aren't you here yet?"

"It's already noon, isn't it time?"

"Didn't the delegation's motorcade enter the school an hour ago? They were supposed to have arrived early. Why can't they see anyone yet? Where did they go?"

"I do not know."

"I'm already hungry. I'm going to finish the meeting and I'm still waiting for dinner."

"Yeah, I've been here for more than an hour and I haven't even eaten breakfast."

The students were all a little listless and had no energy. When the host came on stage, the venue was quiet for a long time. However, after the host didn't come, the huge auditorium became noisy. Discussions were going on. Even teachers from Peking University Everyone was a little unable to sit still, and frequently looked back at the empty delegation seats upstairs. Some people were surprised, and some frowned, not understanding what was going on.

ten minutes……

half an hour

The host may have received the news, took the microphone and said to everyone: "Please be quiet, everyone, the delegation will be here soon."

Some of the media personnel who had come to the scene and set up their cameras were already yawning.

Those foreign mathematicians were not very happy.

The French mathematician looked down at his watch.

The British mathematician shook his head slightly.

The Japanese mathematician is not here. He probably went to meet with the delegation.

Dean Pan and some teachers in the mathematics department quickly apologized to the foreign mathematicians and asked them to wait a little longer. For the students and teachers of Peking University, they don’t need to say anything, because this is their own activity at Peking University, but for these foreign mathematicians, these people are guests, and they have been made to wait for two hours. This is really outrageous, I definitely need a gift.

Su Na over there was very annoyed, "Why are these Japan so unpunctual? Not only do they make us wait, but they also make mathematicians from various countries wait?"

Another young teacher from the Chinese Department said: "You are so arrogant."

Chang Kaige looked at them and said, "Okay, just stop saying a few words."

Professor Yan also frowned and said: "There are so many media here, Xiao Su, Xiao Wang, please pay attention to your attitude and say nonsense. The delegation must be preparing."

Suna and several young teachers didn't think so. Are you ready? What are you preparing for? It has been more than two hours since they entered the school. Even if they take a nap, put on makeup, wash their face, or even take a shower and blow dry their hair, it is more than enough time. Let us have thousands of people from Peking University. Just sitting here and waiting? Not even a single reason? Su Na and others believed that these people from the Japanese delegation were probably being stopped by Peking University students before, so they were deliberately leaving them aside and looking down on them.

Suddenly, a German mathematician said something unpleasantly in German that no one could understand, then stood up and left the room on his own.

The translator hurriedly said: "Professor Warner said that he has something urgent to do in the afternoon and needs to leave first."

Xinya also had a shameful face. Although she was not from Peking University, she was a member of the mathematical community of the Republic. As a host, she kept the distinguished guests waiting for so long. She didn't look good either. She and Dean Pan immediately got up and sent her off. I followed the German mathematician out of the auditorium. I'm sorry.

After the Germans left.

Xinya complained: "Dean Pan, what's going on? Peking University said it would hold this exchange meeting and needed some heavyweight guests. I just made the connection and contacted the people. Professor Chen and the others also spoke there, but How can I explain it to these foreign mathematicians after waiting for so long and not starting yet?"

Dean Pan immediately said: "I don't know what's going on. Let me ask." He pressed the phone and made a phone call, "Hey, where are they now... Who are you talking about? People from the delegation... What do you mean? I don’t know, aren’t you in charge of reception... Just ask me immediately.”

hang up the phone.

After a few minutes, the line came back.

The reply I was waiting for was still the same. The people from the delegation were about to enter the venue. They seemed to have been undergoing a closed interview just now. Moreover, during the period, some people from the delegation mentioned that they were hungry. They had not eaten anything just after getting off the plane, so they unexpectedly We also had a group meal, which was cooked by the No. 1 Canteen of Peking University. The food for fifty or sixty people was delivered directly to the lounge reserved for the delegation, and there was coffee and fruit at the end.

But when Xinya and Dean Pan went back, they still didn't see anyone from the Japanese delegation. Even the leaders of Peking University and Bai Yi who accompanied them were slow to come.

The auditorium was getting noisier and noisier.

All kinds of news are flying all over the sky.

"Are you coming or not?"

"I just heard that they are being interviewed."

"What? Accepting an interview at this time? We have so many students and teachers waiting for them. Can't they record the interview after the meeting? Why do they dare to do it at this juncture?"

"Not only are they doing interviews, they are also eating."

"No way?"

"Why not? I just heard it from the people in the cafeteria."

"I've also heard that the First Canteen was originally open just now, but after receiving the news that the delegation wanted to have a meal, it immediately closed it to the public and closed the door. Several teachers from Peking University wanted to go in and have a meal, but they couldn't. I heard that they cooked food specifically for the delegation and even delivered it to them. Even the school leaders didn’t receive this kind of treatment. The score was too big and it was simply arrogant.”

"We are hungry and they are eating?"

"Hey, who are the people from Japan this time?"

"Aren't Teacher Bai Yi and the others accompanying us? Can they agree? Why don't you let the delegation come to the auditorium first? When can't we have dinner? Are you hungry? We are still hungry."

"Bai Yi? Haha, haven't you seen Mr. Bai's attitude on that matter before? He has been in Japan, and his wife is from the University of Tokyo. She has always been a supporter of the goodwill theory towards Japan. , and has published relevant papers, do you expect him?"

"That's too unfair. Foreign guests are human beings, but we students are not human beings? Besides, there are other foreign guests here, and those foreign mathematicians are being made to wait foolishly?"

"Look, another one is gone"

Front row.

A Korean mathematician couldn't wait any longer, said goodbye to the others, and went out to eat by himself. Dean Pan and several teachers from the Mathematics Department of Peking University personally escorted him out. They also called a car and asked a teacher who could speak Korean to accompany him. This could be regarded as a remedy.

The British mathematician looked at Zhang Ye and said, "Zhang."

Zhang Ye looked back.

The British mathematician said seriously: "If it weren't for listening to your speech, I would have gone back long ago."

When Zhang Ye heard this, he quickly said in English: "Sorry, people should be arriving soon, please wait a moment."

Zhang Ye was also very embarrassed. Naturally, he was also jealous of those Japanese people. If those members of the delegation just made Zhang Ye disliked more than two hours ago, then now, they really Zhang Ye was angered by this incident. The delegation members' disrespect for Peking University and the Republic was written in their bones. On such an important occasion, so many people were waiting, but in exchange for the other party being leisurely. to eat? Professor Yan and others, as well as school leaders and others, keep saying how important this exchange activity is, but now it seems that only they at Peking University think so, and the people in the Japanese delegation do not think it is very important. Don't feel any importance at all

More than ten minutes have passed again

I looked at my watch in the blink of an eye, it was already one forty in the afternoon.

The originally scheduled welcome party was actually delayed for two hours and thirty minutes. Not to mention sitting here doing nothing for more than two hours. Even if you are watching a two-hour movie with gusto in the cinema, After the movie ends, if you stand up from your seat and stretch, you must feel tired from sitting, let alone sitting there with nothing to say, you can imagine everyone’s state and mood.

"Eh"

"People are coming"

"Depend on"

"finally come"

Upstairs, people were taking their seats one after another.

The leaders of the Japanese delegation sat at the front a little arrogantly. Bai Yi and several staff from Peking University had been accompanying them throughout the process, smiling and waiting for them to sit down. A few people were sitting there Bai Yi turned around and went downstairs because he might have a speech. When he came over, he gestured to the host.
