Auditorium.

When he returned 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 previous speech to him, "You can find someone again, I can't do this job." ”

Dean Pan was puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Ye said: "The above asks for something to be added." ”

After listening to a few words, Dean Pan understood, "At this time, I can't catch up with the replacement, that's not good, you have to be on it, Teacher Zhang, you can't drop the chain, in this way, if you don't want to write the manuscript yourself, I'll find someone for you, add the things required by the school leaders, and then you just read it." "Pan Yang himself doesn't like this set very much, for him, academics are academics, and he has to add politics-governance-color-color to make a bunch of hello, me, hello, everyone's good things, it's always a little tasteless, 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 dye vat, you can only find a relative balance.

After ten minutes of persuasion, Zhang Ye was noncommittal, according to the associate professor who Dean Pan had just promoted him, he should give this face, but in his heart, Zhang Ye really didn't have a good impression of these Japanese-locals, and it was difficult for others to force him to do what he didn't want to do.

Dean Pan said: "It's decided, don't say it, start it 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 listen to your reports and speeches, and everyone is looking forward to it." ”

On stage, the host is ready. The auditorium was also basically 80 percent full, and everyone who should have come came, just the day - the people of this delegation.

"What about people?"

"Why haven't you come yet?"

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

"Didn't the convoy of those delegations enter the school an hour ago, and they are supposed to have come early, so why can't they see anyone now? What are you doing? ”

"I don't know."

"I'm hungry, hurry up and wait for dinner after the meeting."

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

The students are a little listless, no energy, when they saw the host on the stage, the venue was quiet for a long time, but after the main host did not come for a long time, the huge auditorium was also full of noise, and the discussion was constantly ringing, even the teachers of Peking University were a little unable to sit still, and frequently looked back at the empty delegation seats upstairs, some people were strange, some frowned, and did not understand what the situation was.

Ten minutes......

Half-hour......

The moderator may have received the message and said to everyone with the microphone: "Everyone, please be quiet, the delegation will be there soon." ”

The media crews who had already set up their cameras at the scene were already yawning.

Some foreign mathematicians were not very happy.

The French mathematician looked down at his watch.

The British mathematician shook his head slightly.

The mathematician was not here that day, and presumably went to meet with the delegation.

Dean Pan and some teachers in the Department of Mathematics hurriedly apologized to the foreign mathematicians and told them to wait a little longer. For the students and teachers of Peking University, they don't have to say anything, because this is their own activity at Peking University, but for these foreign mathematicians, these people are guests and guests, and they have made the guests wait for two hours.

Suna over there was annoyed, "Why are these days-Ben-people so unpunctual?" Not only let us wait, but also let mathematicians from various countries wait? ”

Another young teacher from the Chinese department said, "Such a big shelf! ”

Chang Kaige looked at them, "Okay, let's say a few words." ”

Professor Yan also frowned and said: "So many media are here, Xiao Su, Xiao Wang, pay attention to your attitude, what nonsense, the delegation must be preparing." ”

Suna and several young teachers don't think so, ready? What are you going to prepare, it's been more than two hours since they entered the school, even if it's a nap and then get up to put on makeup, wash your face or even take a shower and blow your hair, it's more than enough time, just let us Peking University thousands of people sit and wait stupidly here? Not even a single reason? Suna and they think that these people from the Japanese-current delegation are probably because they were stopped by Peking University students before, so they are deliberately leaving them aside, and they are deliberately looking down on them!

Suddenly, a German mathematician spoke unpleasantly in German, which no one understood, and then stood up and walked out of the room.

The interpreter hurriedly said, "Professor Warner said that he has an urgent matter in the afternoon and needs to leave first." ”

Xin Ya is also gloomy, although she is not from Peking University, she is a member of the mathematics community of the Republic, as the host, she has made the VIP wait for so long, and she is not good-looking, and she suddenly got up with Dean Pan to send the German mathematician out of the auditorium, I'm sorry.

After the Germans left.

Xin Ya complained, "Dean Pan, what's the matter? Peking University said that it needs some heavyweight guests to hold this exchange meeting, so I just connected with the people who came, Professor Chen, and they also spoke inside, but now I have waited for so long and still haven't started, how can I explain to these foreign mathematicians? ”

Dean Pan immediately said, "I don't know what's going on, I'll ask." He made a phone call while he was on fire, "Hey, where are the people now...... Who are you talking about, the people of the delegation...... I don't know what it means, aren't you in charge of reception...... Ask me about it right away! ”

Hung up the phone.

After a few minutes, it was back on the line.

The reply was still the same sentence, the delegation was about to enter the venue, and it seemed that they had been giving a closed interview just now, and during the period, some people in the delegation said that they were hungry and had just gotten off the plane and had nothing to eat, so they actually had a collective meal, which was made in the first canteen of Peking University, and the dishes of fifty or sixty people were directly sent to the lounge reserved for the delegation, and there was coffee and fruit at the end.

However, when Xin Ya and Dean Pan went back, they still did not see any people from the Japanese-current delegation, and even the leaders of Peking University and Bai Yi and others who accompanied them did not come!

The auditorium is getting noisier.

All kinds of news are flying in the sky.

"Are you here or not?"

"I just heard that they were interviewed."

"What? Interviews at this time? So many of our students and teachers are waiting for them, can't they record the interview later? Why do you dare to be at this juncture? ”

"Not only interviews, but also eating."

"Won't it?"

"Why not, I just heard from the cafeteria."

"I also heard that the first canteen was originally open just now, but I temporarily received the news that the delegation wanted to eat, and it was immediately closed to the public, and the door was closed, and several Peking University teachers wanted to go in for a meal, but they didn't eat, I heard that it was specially for the delegation to cook, and I sent it over, this treatment is not even the school leader, the spectrum is too big, this is simply no one!"

"We're hungry, they're eating?"

"Grass, who are the little Ri-Ben people who came this time!"

"Teacher Bai Yi, aren't they accompanied, and they can also agree? Why don't you let the delegation come to the auditorium first! When is it not possible to eat? Are you hungry? We're still hungry! ”

"Bai Yi? Hehe, haven't you seen Mr. Bai's attitude in that incident before? He has been in Japan, his wife is still Japanese, he is from the University of Tokyo, he has always been a supporter of the theory of goodwill with Japan, and he has published related papers, what do you expect from him? ”

"That's too unfair, foreign guests are people, and we students are not people? Besides, there are other foreign guests here, those foreign mathematicians, who also make people stupidly wait? ”

"Look, there's another one!"

Front row.

A Korean-Chinese mathematician couldn't wait any longer, so he said goodbye to the others and went out to dinner by himself. Dean Pan and several teachers from the Department of Mathematics of Peking University personally sent him out, and also called a car and a teacher who could speak Korean to accompany him, which could be regarded as a remedy.

The British mathematician looked at Zhang Ye, "Zhang." ”

Zhang Ye looked back.

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

When Zhang Ye heard this, he also hurriedly said in English: "I'm sorry, the person should be almost there, wait a little longer." ”

Even Zhang Ye was very embarrassed, naturally, he was also angry with those Japanese-Ben-people, if the people in those delegations just didn't like Zhang Ye more than two hours ago, then now, they really angered Zhang Ye! In this matter, the disrespect of the people of the delegation to their Peking University and the Republic is written in their bones, such an important occasion, so many people are waiting, but in exchange for the other party is eating leisurely? Professor Yan and others, university leaders and others kept saying how important this exchange activity was, but now it seems that only they in Peking University think so, but the people from the Japanese delegation do not think it is very important, and they do not attach importance to it at all!

More than 10 more hours have passed!

When I looked at my watch in a blink of an eye, it was already 1:40 p.m.!

The originally scheduled welcome party was delayed for two hours and thirty minutes! Not to mention sitting here for more than two hours doing nothing, even if you watch a movie for more than two hours in the cinema, you get up from your seat and stretch after the film, you have to feel tired of sitting, not to mention sitting in a daze without saying anything, you can imagine what state and mood everyone is in!

"Huh!"

"Someone is coming!"

"Damn!"

"It's finally here!"

Upstairs, people are sitting down one after another.

Several leaders of the delegation sat at the front a little arrogantly, Bai Yi and several staff members of Peking University have been accompanying them throughout the whole process, waiting for them to sit down with a smile, and a few people are sitting next to them, Bai Yi turned around and went downstairs because he might have a speech, and after coming over, he gestured to the host.
