Chapter Ninety-Seven: Self-Knowledge
Three days passed in a flash, and soon it was time for the orientation party.
The department seems to attach great importance to this event, and an old-fashioned auditorium is arranged next to the faculty dormitory, where the freshmen of the three majors of the Spanish Department have basically arrived, and there are a lot of senior students, melon seeds and peanuts are piled up on the table, and the stage in front of the auditorium is also arranged, and a welcome banner is hung on the top, which is indeed the style of the party.
Chen Dahe lined up with his 79th grade French majors, found the area that had been divided, sat down, and waited for the orientation party to begin.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the leaders of the department began to enter the venue, and the group of teachers who were in a hurry was not much less than the students, and there were a few old men who came in together, Chen Dahe was not surprised to see the figure of the old man Li.
First of all, the host took the stage, perhaps considering the factor of seeking stability, and arranged for the teacher to preside, rather than the senior students suggested by Chen Dahe to be the host.
Very unexpectedly, the male host turned out to be Ma Anguo, no wonder I can't find anyone in the past few days, I haven't even watched the rehearsal of the program in the class once, it turned out that he was hiding to practice hosting, and he was partnered with a female teacher majoring in English, standing tall and elegant on the stage, which made Chen Dahe feel resentful, why are the beautiful female teachers from someone else's family, and he is an unreliable second-hand man!
If Ma Anguo heard his heart, I don't know if he would be beaten to death.
The opening remarks without new ideas, the routine leadership speech, the students listened to it drowsily, when did the performance start, didn't it say that there was a show today?
"Students, the Department of Western Languages of Peking University originated from the Beijing Teachers Tongwen Museum, and has a history of more than 100 years," Ma Anguo on the stage read the presiding speech impassionedly, "Looking back on history, countless advanced deeds have emerged, and there are many masters and scholars with brilliant achievements, below, we will invite Li Zhong and Li Lao, experts in linguistics of our university, proficient in ten Chinese dialects, and able to speak 27 foreign languages, to tell you the story of those years!
Boom la la la...... , Chen Dahe applauded with everyone, but he was extremely surprised in his heart, proficient in ten Chinese, can speak 27 foreign languages? Is it so exaggerated? This bad old man is so powerful?!
Speaking and proficient are two different things, and many of the staff of the translation agencies of the United Nations in later generations can speak more than ten or twenty languages, but when it comes to proficient ones, it would be good to have two or three of them, which is to be able to teach at a first-class university, which shows how powerful Mr. Li is.
"I didn't expect Mr. Li to come," Peng Xueqing, who was sitting next to Chen Dahe, was so excited that she couldn't help herself, "It's Mr. Li, he never showed up outside the classroom, I didn't expect to see him today, I really didn't come in vain today!"
Chen Dahe looked at her blankly, "Do you know this Elder Li, is he famous?"
And what the hell is it that doesn't show up outside of the classroom? He teleports?
"You don't know him?" Peng Xueqing glanced at him with disdain, and her gaze turned to the front again, just like those star-chasing clans in later generations.
"It's a shame that you are still learning French, and even Li Lao doesn't know that all the textbooks in our classes are compiled by him, and all the translated works of the Spanish Department must be reviewed by him before they can be published, and when the country has foreign affairs activities, he will often be asked to be a consultant, you say that he is not very powerful! I have only heard of his name before, and this is the first time I have seen a real person, and it really deserves his reputation!"
"Well, it's pretty impressive. Chen Dahe nodded, looking at the old man on the podium with strange eyes, he really couldn't see where there was a worthy name, and what was going on with the triumphant eyes that he often glanced over? Are you sure it's not showing off?
Well, it's just a little old man, Chen Dahe grinned and quietly watched Old Man Li's speech.
I have to say that this old man's eloquence is still very good, at least no one below is dozing, and after speaking, the thunderous applause also shows the attitude of the masses.
After Li Lao, two more old men came to the stage to share the story of the past, these two Chen Dahe also knew each other, and they had drunk together in Li Lao's courtyard, and when they saw the fanatical expressions of those people in the audience, he knew that these were two big bulls again.
Chen Dahe couldn't help but prick his mouth, do these big cows like to pour people wine, it's really a bad habit!
After the leader finished speaking, the seniors also reviewed the glorious history, and then it was finally time for the art show.
As the senior students performed on stage one by one, the faces of the students in the French class became more and more ugly, and Peng Xueqing finally couldn't help but poke Chen Dahe, "Little class leader, let's really sing a chorus?"
"Otherwise," Chen Dahe looked at her consciously, "The program list has been reported, is there any problem?"
"They are all foreign language programs," Li Huifang also leaned over and whispered, "I just went to ask Teacher Ma, and the new classes of the other two majors are also foreign language programs, only we are Chinese programs." ”
"Yes," Zheng Xinhe said with a wry smile, "We really didn't expect this before, foreign language majors don't perform foreign language programs, isn't that unprofessional." ”
"I see you guys thinking too much," Chen Dahe said disapprovingly, "What's wrong with the Chinese program, it shows that we are patriotic, and it is still singing my motherland, how good!"
"It's not that our show is not good," Li Huifang bit her lip and said with a frown, "It's just that it doesn't quite fit our major, and we don't sing very well, but now it's like this, and we can only bite the bullet." ”
Looking at her plump lips, Chen Dahe didn't feel that his heartbeat was a little faster, so he quickly looked away, waved his hand and said, "Put your heart back in your stomach, isn't it just a show, you can't lose people, and we all have advantages!"
Facing everyone's eyes, Chen Dahe Shi Shiran said, "At least we are still self-aware, it's rare!"
Peng Xueqing hammered his old fist to his shoulder, "Get out." ”
Even Ning Xiaoxin, who has always been gentle and demure, couldn't help but glare at him, it was really rare.
Perhaps considering that the program of the French class is really different, the event organizing team put this chorus at the end when arranging the program.
After the song of the 79th grade German class rode the wings of singing, it came to the chorus of the French class, my motherland.
Nineteen classmates lined up in three rows, standing in unison under the stage according to the position of six, six or seven, Chen Dahe grinned and squeezed out a few voices from between his teeth, "Performance, be happy, don't look like you're dead and unburied." ”
Peng Xueqing stood next to him, and after walking on the stage for a while, he turned to the left, that is, in front of him, and at this time, he also pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a delicate smile, but the words he said had a little coolness, "I think it's better to bury me, so as not to stand here and be embarrassed." ”
"This little comrade has a problem with his thinking," Chen Dahe was still joking at this time, "When you go back, you will be punished to learn to sing ten French songs, and you will be given a chance to make a splash next time." ”
Later, Li Huifang whispered, "Don't talk, I'm going to go on stage." ”
Everyone immediately stood up straight, and walked up with Chen Dahe's order!
