Chapter 255: The Gardener
The place of Jinling University is very large, especially the area next to Xuannu Lake is particularly empty.
But no matter how empty it is, it can't stand a lot of people, people like to join in the fun, and if there is a fireworks display, of course they will come to watch.
Let's not talk about Jinling locals, this is Jinling University, there are tens of thousands of students in the school, and next to it is Hohai University, and a few minutes away from Southeast University.
These schools together have more than 100,000 people, and there are 20,000 or 30,000 people in one dormitory.
Zhuang Yan When they arrived at the place, they could only see crowds everywhere, and it was difficult to squeeze in, so they could only find a place to stand and watch.
After looking around, Zhuang Yan aimed at a building in the northeast, which was the most conspicuous building in the vicinity, Zhuang Yan thought, if he could go up there, it would be best to see the fireworks from there.
Zhuang Yan University studied at Southeast University, and he was not familiar with Jinling University, and he didn't know what kind of building it was, and whether he could go up to the roof.
Looking at the time, there were still twenty minutes left, Zhuang Yan said to Ren Lian next to him: "Let's go to the building next to see if there is a place." β
Ren Lian also saw that building, and also thought that the building was more suitable for watching fireworks, but she was a little worried: "Such a good place, there should be no location." β
Zhuang Yan smiled: "It's okay, anyway, the fireworks will be released for a while, let's go and see first, if there is no place, we will come back." β
Ren Lian had nothing to do, and the two of them walked towards the building.
When I arrived at the bottom of the building, I learned that this was the government affairs building of Jinling University, which was the place of office.
They tried to go up, but the security guard at the door stopped them and told them that they would not be allowed to go up.
"Then let's go to another building and have a look. Zhuang Yan was a little disappointed when he heard that he didn't give it, but just as they were about to leave, the security guard smiled and said, "You are definitely not students of our school." β
"Oh, big brother, how do you know we're not from this school?"
"This is not simple, if we are in school, can you not know that the political and educational building can not be built? I advise you not to think about going to other buildings, because at this time the roofs of each building are full of people, and it is better to go to the top of the building than to watch by the lake. β
Zhuang Yan spread his hands, "Yes, I can only go back to the lake." β
They were just about to leave, a middle-aged man came over, and the security guard hurriedly greeted: "Secretary Chen, do you still come to work at night?"
Secretary Chen glanced at Zhuang Yan and them, and nodded with a smile: "Well, there is still a little thing to do." β
Zhuang Yan looked at this Secretary Chen, and suddenly his eyes narrowed, because he saw a book under the other party's armpit, this book was not another book, it was Zhuang Yan's new book "The Old Man and the Sea".
With a roll of his eyes, Zhuang Yan thought about it, ran quickly to Secretary Chen, and said, "Hello Mr. Chen, do you remember me?"
Secretary Chen was stunned, "Are you?"
Zhuang Yan took off the scarf that covered half of his face, and said with a smile: "Teacher Chen doesn't remember me?"
When Zhuang Yan took off his scarf, Secretary Chen's pupils widened, and his face was full of disbelief: "You areβ"
"I'm your student Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yan said first.
Hearing Zhuang Yan's words, a trace of doubt flashed in Secretary Chen's eyes, and then he seemed to understand, and quickly nodded, "Oh, I remember, you are Zhuang Yu." β
Seeing the success of the conversation, Zhuang Yan said with a smile: "Teacher Chen, I just have something to tell you, is it convenient for you now?"
"Convenient, convenient, let's go out and find a place to say?"
"Don't bother, I'll just go to your office. β
Chen Qigong didn't know what Zhuang Yan meant, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the office." β
When the goal was achieved, Zhuang Yan turned around and beckoned to Ren Lian, "Let's go, let's go to Teacher Chen's office." β
After Zhuang Yan and the others entered the building, the security guard at the door touched his head a little confusedly, "Didn't they say that they were not students of our school, why did they become Secretary Chen's students again? Alas, when did Secretary Chen substitute for teaching? β
As soon as the three of them entered the building, Chen Qigong said with some excitement: "You are Zhuang Yan!"
Zhuang Yan nodded and smiled: "Yes, I am Zhuang Yan, hello Secretary Chen." β
"Hello, hello, I didn't expect Zhuang Yan to appear in our school, I don't know what happened to you?"
"Isn't there a fireworks display, I'll just join in the fun, but it's crowded outside and there is no place to stand, so I want to go upstairs to see, but I heard that I can't come up, I just happened to meet you, so I want to go through the back door." Zhuang Yan explained with a smile.
Chen Qigong suddenly said, "It turned out to be for the fireworks display, I said that there is still a place in our Jinling University that can attract you." Since you want to see the fireworks, so let's take you directly to the top of the building, which is the best place to watch the fireworks. If you think it's too cold outside, you can go to my office, which happens to be facing Xuannu Lake. β
Zhuang Yan's purpose was to go to the roof, and he politely declined Chen Qigong's kindness to invite them to his office, and said, "I won't delay your work, let's just go to the roof." β
"Alright, I'll take you to the roof. β
After Chen Qigong sent Zhuang Yan to the roof of the building, before leaving, he suddenly took out the book "The Old Man and the Sea" from under his armpit with some embarrassment, and said: "Mr. Ziyan, I won't tell you, I am also your loyal reader, I don't know if there is a reluctant request, can you please sign for me." β
"It's a great honor. β
Zhuang Yan took Chen Qigong's book, took out a pen and signed his name on the title page, and then wrote: To the hardest gardener Chenββ
"Oh, by the way, haven't you asked Mr. Chen for your name?"
"Exempt from preciousness, despise the name of Qi Gong, start the Qi Gong, and Gong Gong of Kung Fu. β
Zhuang Yan went on to write: To the hardest working gardener, Mr. Chen Qigong.
After writing it, it was returned to Chen Qigong, Chen Qigong happily took the book, glanced at it, and was suddenly stunned: "Gardener?"
Zhuang Yan didn't realize that he was wondering about something, and said with a smile: "Well, gardener." β
"Why a gardener? Zhuang Yan, Mr. Chen is a teacher. Ren Lian said beside her.
Only then did Zhuang Yan react that the word gardener had not been used to describe teachers in this life, so they had this reaction.
He hurriedly explained: "Teacher Chen, don't get me wrong, I think that the students are all the flowers of the motherland, and you teachers are all cultivating flowers, so you are naturally gardeners." β
After his explanation, Chen Qigong's eyes lit up, "Mr. Ziyan really has unique insights, gardeners, gardeners who cultivate flowers, it's really wonderful." Okay, I won't bother you two, you can just watch the fireworks here, and no one will come up to disturb you. β
After saying that, he went downstairs with joy, and as he walked he was still muttering: "Gardener, what a wonderful ......"
