Midday.

Centennial Auditorium of Peking University.

"It's almost getting started. ”

"Everybody, hurry up. ”

"The people of the delegation have arrived. ”

"Don't crowd, get in line. ”

There is a staff member at the door to maintain order.

Students lined up to enter through the main entrance, while teachers and other Peking University staff entered through the side entrance.

After Zhang Ye followed the queue into the inside, he separated from Professor Zeng Suna and other teachers of the Chinese Department, because he wanted to sit in the front row, first, there will be his speech in a while, he will come to the stage at any time, it is impossible to sit too far, second, those mathematicians from all over the world, Zhang Ye also has to accompany a little, people are the elites in the field of mathematics in various countries, among them there are one or two world-class mathematicians, come from afar for the mathematical conjectures they have cracked, Zhang Ye did not go to help check the calculation, if you don't accompany a few times after this meeting, it is really not like words, not in line with the hospitality of the Republic。

Middle, first row.

Zhang Ye saw someone calling him.

Xinya beckoned, "This way." ”

"Shall we sit in the first row?" Zhang Ye asked.

Dean Pan reserved a seat for Zhang Ye next to him, and said, "Just sit here, everything is arranged, and the Japanese-Ben-delegation is sitting upstairs." ”

Zhang Ye, sit tight.

Han Henian, who was in three positions next to him, said: "There was an accident outside just now? Why did the students stop the delegation's car on such an important day?"

Zhang Ye said: "A small misunderstanding, it's no big deal." ”

Han Henian said: "If this is not a big deal, then it is not a big deal." ”

Dean Pan said: "It should have been dealt with." ”

Although they had been sitting in the auditorium with the mathematicians of various countries, they still knew more or less about what was going on outside, and someone must have sued them.

Even, a French mathematician heard about it and asked Zhang Ye: "I heard that Professor Zhang has read something, and he will not forget a word?"

A foreign translator translated it in stilted Chinese.

Zhang Ye smiled and shook his hand, "No, I don't have that much ability." ”

In the fourth row in the back, a female teacher from the art department who had just sat down was also with them before, and she couldn't help but wonder when she heard it: "Teacher Zhang, how do you remember that newspaper?"

Zhang Ye looked back and said to the female teacher: "Because of that news, there are more numbers." ”

The female teacher of the art department wondered, "Shouldn't the more numbers you have, the harder it will be to remember?"

Xin Ya said for Zhang Ye and said, "Hehe, we are engaged in mathematical work, and we must be more sensitive to numbers than other things." ”

"I see. The teacher of the art department smiled, "You are still good at math." ”

A young teacher from the Department of Mathematics of Peking University said with a smile: "Teacher Kong, I think it has nothing to do with whether or not I am engaged in mathematics, the main thing is that Mr. Zhang Ye is very good, I also searched the Internet for that news just now, let alone just take a look, even if I am asked to memorize those numbers now, I also have to memorize them for an hour or two, and they may not all be right." "They all know about what happened over there, and when Zhang Ye didn't come just now, they discussed it.

A lot of teachers chatted with them.

Zhang Ye also interjected without a match, and from time to time he had to speak a few words of English to communicate with foreign mathematicians.

There were more and more people in the auditorium, and the environment was much noisier, and if the voice was too quiet, people who were close might not be able to hear it clearly.

At this time, a Peking University staff member came over.

"Teacher Zhang. ”

"Call me?"

"Come on, something's something. ”

"Oh. ”

Zhang Ye followed the young man away, and Yu Guang saw that Professor Yan and another Peking University teacher in the front row of the right area were also called over, and several people walked to a quiet place in the background. Although Professor Yan and Zhang Ye are both teachers of the Chinese Department, the two have a deep grudge, and they basically can't speak when they meet.

Professor Yan asked, "What's the matter?"

The young staff member immediately said: "The school leaders have just given instructions, and in a few moments, you should add some appropriate content to your speeches, mainly emphasizing the friendship between China and Japan, and also, the car stop incident that happened just now has a very bad impact, and several leaders and responsible persons of the Japanese delegation have expressed strong dissatisfaction, which means that when you speak, you can appropriately criticize the angry behavior of today's students, as well as similar behaviors that affect and undermine the relations between the two countries, but do not mention today's specific events and details. ”

Professor Yan and another teacher both understood, the Japanese-Prime Minister-Prime Minister's visit to China, it was at this juncture that such an unpleasant thing happened on the day of their Sino-Japanese university exchange and cooperation, which was always a little embarrassing, well, or to put it strictly, it might even be a more dangerous incident, too sensitive, Peking University, as the No. 1 university in China, must not want to convey a similar wrong signal, so it is necessary to express an attitude towards a similar "no reason to oppose Japan" We should resolutely criticize the behavior and call on everyone to remain rational and objective, which is also in response to the current background of "Sino-Japanese friendship". As for not mentioning today's car stop incident, it is also very understandable that there are so many reporters present, so naturally this kind of thing cannot be said or publicized, and it must be handled in the most stable way.

The teacher said, "Is it too late to change now?"

The staff said: "There is no need to make a big change, just add a few words to mention, you can grasp the proportion or something, I don't understand this aspect, I just convey the meaning of the school leaders." ”

The teacher said, "I'll take a look." ”

Zhang Ye was not very happy, what to add, what to add, if you are sick, "Mine can't be changed, I am an academic speech, and this has nothing to do with me." "I'm leaving.

The staff member said, "Mr. Zhang, you'd better add a little bit and mention it appropriately at the end, such as giving a few words of praise to the Japanese-Benesque mathematics community after giving an academic speech, expressing that you are looking forward to long-term cooperation with Japan-Benctuary universities, etc., which is also fine." ”

Zhang Ye didn't turn around at all and said, "But I don't look forward to it." ”

Looking forward to cooperating with them? That day, as soon as I met the mathematician, the nose was not the nose and the eye was not the eye, and he questioned me and questioned me, and he just didn't believe that Dale's conjecture could be solved by the people of the Republic, and with their attitude, let me cooperate with them?

Staff: "......" Khan, you're too direct!

Professor Yan glanced at him and went back to revise the manuscript.

The sociology teacher of Peking University, who also had a speech task today, was also amused by Zhang Ye's words, "Teacher Zhang, I'll go back first, you can just add a sentence, after all, it's politics-governance-mission." "He doesn't care, whatever is laid out on it, he will say anything.

Today's Sino-Japanese university exchange is rare in history, and it is also the first communication and cooperation between the two countries' top universities in recent years. On such an important day and such an important event, the speaker's script must be rigorous and comprehensive, and it cannot be as casual as the opening ceremony or graduation ceremony.

That's why school leaders are so strict with the scripts of speeches, and some signals that should be there must clearly appear in the scripts!

"Teacher Zhang, please. The staff repeated.

Zhang Ye shook his head, "Besides, it's too late to change it now." ”

The staff was also a little impatient, and said: "You are a teacher in the Chinese department, just add a sentence, what is still difficult for you?" Anyway, this is the request of the school leader, I brought it to you." "All that needs to be said has been said, his task has been completed, and there are a bunch of other things waiting for him, so he will go to work on other things.

Zhang Ye glanced at him and returned to the auditorium.

I don't even bother to say anything about giving an academic speech, and I still ask for this and that? Fuck off!
