Chapter 982: Boring Meetings
"You see, Akeye is talking to you about business cooperation, and he also said how many foreign languages he knows, but he didn't mention the book 'Unspoken Rules of Language'." Pei Shengnan said angrily: "He just uses you to achieve the purpose he wants to make money!" ”
"No one talks about that book today, oh, except for Checcarelli." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
"Akye has no sincerity anyway, unless he can speak to us at tomorrow's conference." Pei Shengnan emphasized.
The possibility is not very large, everyone's attitude towards Zhou Xuan and the three of them has eased, which does not mean that they have given up their views. This is an academic question, and it must not be sloppy. Zhou Xuan had reason to believe that if there was a conflict of nature, Akye would not confuse business and academia.
The next day, the conference was officially held, which was a luxurious lineup of academics, top international linguists, and many fans gathered around the cordon, and their idols screamed and waved when they appeared.
When Zhou Xuan arrived at the scene, the police immediately became highly vigilant, and sure enough, there was a commotion among the onlookers. Some shouted that Zhou Xuan would win, and others angrily told the three of them to get out of Paris.
There was a sharp opposition in terms of views, and some radical young people developed from verbal abuse to fighting, and the police immediately controlled both sides and issued warnings.
This scene was seen by Zhou Xuan, and before it started, the supporters were in a mess, and it is conceivable that there was also a fierce confrontation at the conference.
A lot of media came, and after entering the venue, each person had a copy of the materials, including the instructions of the conference and the corresponding seating list. Zhou Xuan and the three of them searched for a long time, and finally found that it was more convenient to look at the list upside down, because their seats were in the last row, or in the corner.
"It's too much, there is no one to guide the way, there are only 100 experts and scholars, so we are stupid to find it for a long time." Pei Shengnan said in annoyance.
"Yes, there's a place for us to sit." Zhou Xuan disagreed, and sat in his place, seated at the back, but with a wide field of vision.
"Hmph, as far as your heart is big, they are deliberately insulting us." Pei Shengnan said indignanly in a low voice, his eyes turned red as he spoke, he was under a lot of pressure, he was more wronged, and his tears were swirling desperately in it, but he still couldn't hold back, dropped a few drops, and quickly wiped them with his hands.
"The birth of a new thing is all about going through a judgmental attack, Katsuo, I am here." Zhou Xuan took Pei Shengnan's hand, her heart warmed, but her tears fell more, and she called herself useless.
Pei Shengnan's real experience has to start with sailing, but life at sea does not often deal with people, no matter what kind of profession, the environment is relatively simple, this time to become one of the protagonists of questioning, it is normal to be under pressure.
However, the confrontation did not happen on the first day. Presentations occupy one-third of the time, one-third are summaries and perspectives on linguistics, and the remaining one-third is devoted to recommending one's own books.
All in all, very boring. Most of the reporters are laymen, and such a professional conference is very tormenting, drinking sports drinks one by one to refresh themselves, fighting their spirits, at least not falling asleep.
The next day, everyone who took the stage to speak was very talkative, and each time they overtimed. The reporters who were waiting for the meeting to adjourn had just raised their butts, but they found that there were still people asking questions, so they had to sit down again.
After the question was finished, some people said that they wanted to add a few words, and even Pei Shengnan and Guan Qing yawned, saying that they were too tired to sit, so it was better to go out for a walk.
"Hey, the conference is nothing, go up and talk about it and pass the customs." Pei Shengnan had a fantasy and said tentatively.
"Master Shengnan, you are daydreaming. This conference is for us, eat and drink for a few days and get a souvenir and go back, which is so simple. Guan Qing waved his hand.
Zhou Xuan also nodded and reminded: "Don't be impatient, in fact, this is a means to deliberately kill our fighting spirit." ”
"Yes, I see that Master is right!" Guan Qing nodded.
"Such a vicious old woman! Mastering so many languages is enough to burn her brain, and she still thinks about making bad calculations against others, no wonder there are things in her head! Pei Shengnan said angrily.
In the stack of materials, there is no conference process and no roster of speakers on stage, which seems to be randomly selected. So, there is no definite answer to when it will be the turn of the three to speak.
On the contrary, in this kind of blind waiting, it will increase people's anxiety and nervousness.
On the afternoon of the third day of the meeting, Pei Shengnan was napping when he suddenly heard the host call his name and asked her to speak on stage.
Pei Shengnan was a little confused, "Xuan, what should I do, what should I do?" I thought you were the first! ”
"The first author!" Zhou Xuan comforted softly and passed on his experience: "It's like in the senior English class, and all your students are below. ”
"Well, I feel a little bit, you're so powerful, aren't you trembling when you see me?"
Pei Shengnan smiled slightly and walked to the podium. Because it was the last row, there was a certain distance, but the reporters along the way were boiling, and the cameras were all aimed at her.
At this moment, Pei Shengnan suddenly had the feeling of being a star, and beckoned with a smile.
"Pei Shengnan, look here!" Some reporters shouted excitedly.
Pei Shengnan cooperated and stopped, his right hand naturally hung down in front of the straddle, and his left hand was on his right shoulder.
"Hehe, my sister also has the potential to be a model." Guan Qing smiled.
"Otherwise, can you call Shi Niang?"
Zhou Xuan also smiled proudly, over the years, Pei Shengnan's growth rate is amazing, even Yan Pingchuan has been putting gold on his face, and his daughter has inherited his good genes.
"Please Miss Pei Shengnan be in place as soon as possible." The host is not used to seeing it, this is not a red carpet, and there is no need to pose. Pei Shengnan came to the podium and adjusted the microphone.
"Hello everyone, my name is Pei Shengnan, and I am honored to meet all experts and scholars." Pei Shengnan first introduced himself, and as soon as his voice fell, someone shouted, "Let's talk about "Unspoken Rules of Language" directly! ”
I don't know who shouted, it's hard to say whether it's a reporter or other experts who have been waiting for a long time, but this voice has been unanimously responded, and some people have echoed, yes, just talk about the book.
The deeper experts and scholars remained silent, but none of them objected.
"Thank you for your attention, in fact, I don't want to talk about anything else." Pei Shengnan said with a smile, and some people laughed, but this is a serious occasion, and there is no humor.
Pei Shengnan talked about the experience of sailing in general, and the book was compiled based on this time. During the voyage, she sensed the beauty of another note through communication with the tribesmen, so she decided to write it.
Of course, the book focuses on the laws of language. It is undeniable that in order to truly master a language, it is necessary to learn it systematically. In this regard, I admit that I have not done enough. Pei Shengnan didn't hold it up and truthfully explained the situation.
After the rest of the people finished speaking, they could get off the stage and sit down, but Pei Shengnan couldn't leave, and some people immediately raised questions, as if they had prepared in advance.
