There were more and more people in the venue, and the seats in the front row were almost full.

Whether it is a celebrity in the business or political circles, after receiving the invitation of Huaqing, they can be on time.

Compared with other circles, academia has always been a 'pure land'.

If people in the business and political circles interact with each other, no matter what kind of mentality or purpose you have, they will always be more or less tired of it, and it is easy to arouse the influence of public opinion of the media and the general public, and even be splashed with the dirty water of 'collusion between officials and businessmen'.

But when you interact with people in academia, at least you don't have to worry about that, and sometimes the bigwigs in academia can act as a 'bridge' between business and politicians, so that all kinds of private transactions can be made to the fore.

For example, if the government simply supports a company in terms of policy or funds, it will most likely cause dissatisfaction and jealousy of other enterprises, and even cause some speculation and controversy in the society, but if an academician or expert joins the enterprise, the government can support the enterprise under the banner of 'supporting scientific research', and the public opinion will be completely different.

Therefore, academia has always acted as a 'lubricant' between the government, enterprises and the media, and the more large enterprises pay more attention to high-end talents, as the old saying goes, 'science and technology are the primary productive forces'!

In addition to cultivating a large number of high-end scientific research and academic talents every year, the power of its "alumni association" is also strong, and now many students of Huaqing University have entered the top 100 enterprises in China and the world, and many have become executives.

Therefore, for such a university with great influence in China, it is an honor in itself to be invited to participate in the award ceremony of Huaqing University, no matter how high these people are and how much wealth they have!

The circle in which a person is located often determines the height of his career.

For Duan Yun, if he can successfully board the big ship of Huaqing, it is not just as simple as entering the academic world, but invisibly entering a huge multi-elite social circle.

For example, if Duan Yun participates in any business gatherings or other occasions in the future and meets fellow graduates of Huaqing University, then compared with ordinary people, he will naturally have a closer relationship, and from this point of view, it will undoubtedly bring a lot of convenience to Duan Yun's accumulation of contacts in the future.

There are less than 10 minutes left before the official start of the commendation meeting.

On the podium of the venue, several leaders of Huaqing University sat upright.

In fact, this conference is not a meeting specially held for Duan Yun alone, but a mobilization and commendation meeting held at the beginning of each semester, in addition to the mobilization of the new school year by the school leaders, some prizes and honorary certificates will be awarded to students who performed well in the previous semester.

Generally speaking, this kind of opening mobilization and commendation meeting is basically attended by teachers and students of the school, but this time it is unprecedented to invite many colleagues from other schools and well-known people in the society.

According to the tone released by the university in advance, the title of honorary professor will be awarded at this commendation meeting, and this is the highlight of this commendation meeting.

You must know that since the establishment of Huaqing University, there have been only a handful of honorary professorships awarded, and almost everyone who has won this title is a big name in the world, and Huaqing University has not announced the names of the people who are about to win the award, so this has also aroused everyone's great curiosity.

"Duan Yun, come here!"

At this time, Yang Ying ran to the backstage and beckoned to Duan Yun.

"Hmm, what's the matter?" Duan Yun got up from the chair in the backstage and walked towards Yang Ying.

"I haven't been able to find a seat with your name on it for a long time, have you been invited over?" Yang Ying asked suspiciously.

"Of course it is, otherwise how could I have gotten in here. Duan Yun pouted and said.

"You must have been called by Professor Guo to come and see the lively ......" Yang Ying raised her eyebrows and said to Duan Yun: "But it's okay, I've already arranged a seat for you, you come with me." ”

"This ......" Duan Yun suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, after all, he needed to wait for the award backstage.

"Come here! The meeting is about to begin. Yang Ying couldn't help but say, and regardless of the eyes of the teachers and students in the background, she grabbed Duan Yun's hand very 'domineeringly' and walked out of the backstage quickly.

The two quickly made their way to the back row from the aisle next to the conference hall, and then sat down on two adjacent chairs.

"This is not good, doesn't it mean that there are people in every seat? I took someone else's place, where do you let the family sit?" Duan Yun frowned immediately after seeing a note on his seat that said 'Zhang Jing'.

"It's okay, this seat belongs to my senior sister, she has been bought by me with a box of Dove chocolates, and I guess she is walking on campus with her boyfriend now. Yang Ying said with a smile when she heard this.

"Or you have a lot of ideas. Duan Yun smiled when he heard this, so he didn't say anything more, and shifted his gaze to the podium in the hall.

At this time, after several leaders on the podium saw that all the guests had arrived, they exchanged a few words, Jiang Chengdong, who was sitting in the middle, glanced at his watch, and then glanced at a middle-aged man sitting on the very side.

The next moment, the middle-aged man with glasses stood up, picked up the microphone and said, "All stand up and play the national anthem!"

As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, all the people present stood up, and the scene suddenly sounded the "March of the Volunteers".

This is the first time Duan Yun has seen the national anthem played at a meeting, which shows that Huaqing University is indeed not an ordinary university, and there is always a strong sense of national honor and dignity in the school spirit.

Everyone's faces were very serious, and the school leaders standing on the podium put their left hands on their chests in unison, and their expressions were unusually solemn.

After the national anthem ended, everyone sat down, and the meeting officially began.

The first to speak was Vice President Zhao Guofu, who first expressed a warm welcome to all the guests on behalf of the university, and also summarized the achievements of Huaqing University in the last semester.

Zhao Fuguo talked eloquently on the stage, full of praise for the school's achievements last year, which attracted bursts of applause from the guests, teachers and students in the audience.
