Chapter 111: Pick-up
Chapter 111 Pick-up
"Why don't I call a few student union officials and ask them to find some students who are in the capital or haven't left yet?"
Professor Zhang thought about it, and finally shook his head, "Forget it, it's too exciting!
At five o'clock in the afternoon, four hours before the plane arrived in Beijing, Professor Zhang wondered if he should leave now? It seemed a little early at first!
While hesitating, the door of his office was slammed open, and Minister Zhang of the school's Propaganda Department rushed in in a hurry, and as soon as he entered, he said in a hurry, "Professor Zhang, why are you still sitting here in Diaoyutai? The flight is coming soon!"
"Isn't there still four hours left, why are you going too?", Professor Zhang calmed down when someone asked.
"This is a big deal, how can I not go? The whole process of picking up the plane must be filmed, and it will be a witness to the glory of our Beijing Normal University in the future! Not only today, but also when Xiao Lu gives a report meeting! When he receives the Fields Medal, when he is received by the national leader!", the more Minister Zhang said, the brighter the light in his eyes became, "At least in the academic world, we are holding down Mizuki University to the end! Have you not seen the sour smell when the president of Mizuki University talked to our president last time!"
After speaking, without waiting for Professor Zhang to distinguish, Minister Zhang took his hand and dragged him out of the office, and when he arrived downstairs, the president's ministerial-level car was washed and shiny, blocking the front of the car prepared by Professor Zhang.
"The principal of this car was also delivered?", a little surprised, Professor Zhang understood the president's thoughts, it stands to reason that it is not an exaggeration to say that a scholar who is about to win the Fields Medal will greet him, but this scholar turned out to be a student of his own school, or an undergraduate who has not graduated, which makes him a little embarrassed, so he can only send his own special car.
"The hotel has also been arranged, and the principal has specially vacated the suite on the top floor of the hotel! Minister Zhang said proudly that since the press conference, reporters from major media have come to him, watching these high-spirited people come to beg him, which makes him greatly satisfy his vanity.
"Then let's go!", Professor Zhang pulled the car door and sat in, "I haven't rubbed the principal's car a few times!"
"The good days of your mathematics department are coming! There will be a time of scenery in the future!", Zhang Bu has been in the university for a long time, and he also knows a lot of allusions to the academic world, when Chen Shiingshen single-handedly moved the center of the world's geometric research from Europe to the United States, if Lu Qiujian can stay at his alma mater, the mathematics department of Beijing Normal University can still be expected to become the first in Asia, even if it is not as good as Princeton and Cambridge, the world's top universities! "Recently, the eyes of jealousy in the physics department and chemistry department are almost green!"
"Haha! I guess they will be even more envious in the future!", Professor Zhang's mood is like that of an IT entrepreneur who is about to welcome a former Microsoft chief engineer who is about to join his company, full of expectations for a better future.
When he arrived at the airport, Minister Zhang was prepared, and asked his subordinates to take out a sign from the trunk that read "Lu Qiujian of Beijing Normal University" and wait at the exit early;
Such a popular sign quickly attracted the attention of many people, and soon someone came over to say hello, "Hey, hello Minister Zhang, Professor Zhang is also here! I'm Xiao Li of the Imperial Court, do you remember?"
"Remember to remember, no one can forget you! The video you shot last time made our principal very happy, and I want to say thank you!" Minister Zhang immediately gave full play to his expertise and quickly mingled with these people, "This is Reporter Zhou, right? I pressed your article under my desk, and I have to read it almost every day!"
"Minister Zhang has a good reputation!", although they knew that his words were at most true, but the people who listened to them were still quite comfortable in their hearts, Li Xiao pointed to the sign and asked, "You came to pick up Xiao Lu in person?"
"Beijing Normal University has a long tradition of respecting academics! We are all doing logistics for the experts, and we should welcome Lu when he returns!" Minister Zhang shook hands one by one, as long as he had attended the press conference last time, he remembered it, and he could always say two words without saying hello, until the last one, "You look a little blind?, where is the high school?"
"I'm Su Hongqi, a reporter from Sports Weekly!", Su Hongqi hurriedly sent his business card, originally Lu Qiujian's news value in their newspaper fell rapidly after he decided not to participate in the NBA, but his Yao Ming's party and the appearance of the heads-up video with LeBron James made them see another possibility - playing in the NBA delayed time, it shouldn't take long to participate in the Olympics, right?
"Oh, hello, hello!", Minister Zhang concealed his mood, put away his business card, and made up his mind at the moment, next time this person came again, he would never let him enter the school.
Hmm? What's the matter with the two people next to him? I kept looking at my sign but didn't come to say hello, judging from my behavior, it seems that they are from the public family, so I am here to pick up Lu Qiujian, right? Minister Zhang kept these two people in mind and continued to say that he welcomed these reporters to Beijing Normal University to publicize!
"Professor Zhang, I just took a look around, and the reporters who came to the court, the youth daily, the southern capital, the cat network, and the pig breeding network are all here, and it looks even more lively than the last press conference!", Assistant Liu whispered in Professor Zhang's ear, "Today, Student Lu has been on the plane for more than ten hours, and he must be tired, if he is blocked by these people, he is afraid that it will be troublesome, we have to prepare in advance!"
"Well, I'll go talk to Minister Zhang!", he nodded and whispered a few words in Minister Zhang's ear, Minister Zhang also showed a tangled look, this is indeed a good opportunity for publicity, but if Lu Qiujian feels dissatisfied, it will be worth the loss!
Just as they were trying to figure out what to do, the sound of the airport radio came to their ears, and the flight from New York had arrived, and everyone immediately took action, picked up their own guys and began to fight for the advantageous position, and the group of them also hurried forward.
After another ten minutes, Lu Qiujian, who was wearing casual clothes and carrying a shoulder bag diagonally, and still looked a little green, appeared at the exit; he seemed to have seen Professor Zhang and the others, and hurriedly waved his hand, and at the same time quickened his pace, and the flashing lights that the reporters had been waiting for for a long time immediately began to shine.
