Chapter 533: Yuan Chenghe
In general, the seminars are just dinners, divided into dozens of tables, and the old scholars who are like-minded or familiar with the topic are divided together, and they chat while eating.
However, this seminar has historically moved the venue from several large cities along the coast to the inland cities, and the University of Chongcheng has arranged a banquet that is more like a cocktail party before the conference begins, in order to show that Chongcheng is still strong in capital despite being inland.
Not to discuss what the purpose of this drinking party is, after Yang Guo and the others entered, they found that there were already many people standing inside, all of whom were men in suits and leather shoes and 'women' dressed up, as if it was really the case!
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that when interpreting, except for the poorer translators, most interpreters are required to wear formal attire when interpreting for conferences or even simultaneous interpretations, and similarly, interpreters can often 'mix' an admission ticket for a cocktail party after the conference, so they will not be unfamiliar with activities such as cocktail parties.
The people who were able to enter this venue were all people who had some attainments in linguistics or translation theory, and most of them were professors, and with their abilities, the work of simultaneous interpretation was naturally not a problem, so it can be seen that they were not at a loss in the face of the reception like newcomers, but gathered together to chat with a wine glass in twos and threes, waiting for the reception to begin.
On this occasion, Yang Guo knew that it was not appropriate to bring Qiqi here, but Chen Zongdai was very domineering, he waved his hand and said that it didn't matter, Yang Guo naturally didn't want to leave Qiqi at home, so he brought it over. However, in order not to arouse public outrage, he still kept a low profile and kept leading Kiki to 'swing' on the edge.
"Baba, I want to see it! I want to see! Kiki was too short, she stood on tiptoe on the ground and didn't see the buffet food on the table, but when she heard her father's praise, she couldn't hold back her mood and pulled Yang Guo's 'pants' and 'legs' and screamed.
"Shhhh Yang Guo raised his index finger at the side of his mouth, and Qiqi shrunk her neck when she saw this, pretending to look around. Yang Guo picked up Qiqi and watched the food with the 'girl', because the cocktail party was not yet official, and at first they could only watch but not eat.
"This is a river mussel, we have it anywhere, but Dad has never seen such a big one, and it is almost enough to catch up with the oysters!" Yang Guo pointed to the food and taught Kiki to recognize. Everyone else is looking for acquaintances to greet, Yang Guo has no acquaintances, he takes the 'girl' to hide on the side, but he is also entertaining himself.
"Baba, what's the red one?" Kiki asked curiously as she glanced at the seasoning dish next to the large river mussel plate.
"It's chili noodles!" Yang Guo smiled, "Doesn't Qiqi like spicy? ”
Kiki pursed her lips and shook her head, she said with a look of disgust: "Baba, shall we pour it out?" Kiki doesn't like spicy food! It's so uncomfortable, it's so uncomfortable! ”
Yang Guo smiled and patted the back of the 'girl' and comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Dad won't let you eat spicy, don't worry." Pour? You can't pour it, someone else wants to eat it! ”
"Yang Guo! Yang Guo! Why are you hiding here? At this time, Huang Xueyu, the head of the department, hurriedly walked over and said a little blamed, "Come with me, the dean is looking for you!" ”
"Looking for me?" Yang Guo followed Huang Xueyu with his 'girl' in his arms, and he asked strangely, "Teacher, isn't he chatting with his friends?" ”
"Dean Yuan from outside Guangdong asked about you just now, and the dean wanted to introduce you, but you didn't see anyone. Hurry. Huang Xueyu said hurriedly.
"Dean Yuan? Outside of Guangdong? Yang Guo didn't think about it when he heard it, but soon, he got in touch with a person in his memory. Dean Yuan Chenghe of Guangdong University of Foreign Chinese!
Last year, Yang Guo was caught in a public opinion storm because the autobiography of the translator Qiao was suddenly exposed, and it was the evaluation of Dean Yuan Chenghe in the newspaper at that time that made Yang Guo gradually accepted by the public. At that time, Yang Guo was still a nobody, and Chen Zongdai didn't know who Yang Guo was!
Of course, Dean Yuan didn't know him, it took Yao Dehua a lot of effort and favor to invite this great god, and Dean Yuan also gave a fair evaluation through some translations that Yang Guo had already done at that time, but at that time it was undoubtedly a great favor to Yang Guo.
But even so, with Yang Guo's social status and academic status at that time, he could not be compared with Dean Yuan, so Yang Guo's desire to visit the 'door' afterwards was politely refused, and he could only note this kindness in his heart.
Thinking of this, Yang Guo couldn't help but speed up his pace.
"Teacher!" When Yang Guo walked to Chen Zongdai's side, he saw Dean Yuan Chenghe, a white-haired and pale old man, compared to Chen Zongdai's 'spirit', he was a little old.
Of course, Dean Yuan Chenghe's age is here, he is over seventy years old this year, and he was rehired after retirement, and Chen Zongdai is one round younger than Dean Yuan. Therefore, although Chen Zongdai and Yuan Chenghe are of equal status in the academic world, Chen Zongdai still maintains a humble posture when facing Yuan Chenghe.
"Yang Guo, let me introduce you." Chen Zongdai pulled Yang Guo with a red face and said, "This is Yuan Chenghe Dean Yuan, I don't need to say anything else, you must have heard of his name, right?" ”
"How could I not have heard that Dean Yuan is a treasure in Guangdong Province." Yang Guo put Qiqi on the ground and let her stand by herself, then bowed humbly to Yuan Chenghe, and said in a somewhat excited voice, "Dean Yuan, students often heard of your name when they were studying, and they also had to 'get' your help last year, and today I finally have the opportunity to meet you, Yang Guo would like to make up a thank you here!" ”
Compared with Huang Xueyu's confusion, Chen Zongdai knew the story of Yang Guo and Yuan Chenghe, he laughed and said: "Yes, I forgot, hey, I should have taken Yang Guo to the 'door' to thank you a long time ago!" ”
Yuan Chenghe smiled lightly, exuding the indifference of a master, he waved his hand and said, "No, I am also entrusted by others, just to say a fair word." ”
"Your fair words have saved the students a lot of scolding." Yang Guo straightened up and smiled calmly, "I should thank you." Yang Guo's voice was very steady, unlike other students who stammered when they saw their long-established old professors.
Yuan Chenghe glanced at Yang Guo deeply, and then smiled meaningfully at Chen Zongdai: "It's still Xiao Chen, your luck is good, you picked a good seedling." ”
Yuan Chenghe didn't say that he had a good vision but used the word luck, the meaning of which is obvious, it is nothing more than Chen Zongdai's **** luck outbreak, if Yang Guo studied in another school, how could it be the turn of this guy who is very lazy in enrollment on weekdays?
"Hey, hey!" Chen Zongdai smirked.
