Chapter 111: Smashing the field is gone
After eating with Ling Xiao, it didn't take long for Lian Xin to hear Jiang Yu's daily phone call when he returned home. Because of Yanran's matter, although Lian Xin's attitude was somewhat restrained, he was still a little cold. Jiang Yu also heard the clue, but he was a little busy at the moment, and hung up after saying a few thoughtful words gently.
However, Jiang Yu found Lao Zhang and asked him to find out what happened to Lian Xin in the past two days.
After saying goodbye to the airport, Lian Xin saw Su Yu again when he was at A University. University A has hired William, a well-known professor of sociology at Harvard, to give a lecture, and as a sister institution, University C naturally supports it, and Professor William's research on China's economy is world-famous, so it is a rare opportunity to attend Professor William's lecture in person.
Lian Xin went to listen to the lecture, one to join in the fun, and the other to be bored. Jiang Yu hasn't come back yet, and Yanran's affairs have been put on hold for the time being.
Foreign professors are really popular, and after class, the lecture hall is almost full, and Lian Xin finally found a corner in the back row.
As a foreign scholar, he has studied the history of China's economic development so thoroughly, I have to say that Professor William has put a lot of effort into it, and he can guess from his fluent Chinese.
Although Lian Xin chose anthropology as a graduate student, she was also very interested in the simple research of sociology, and the content mentioned by Professor William was also very inspiring to the topic she had been studying, so she listened very carefully to Professor William's speech.
After the end of the speech, Lian Xin was a little unsatisfied. At the same time, she also had some questions that she wanted to ask Professor William, after all, it was a lecture, and some questions Professor William simply brought over. So after the speech, Lian Xin was still in the lecture hall, waiting for the students in front of him to ask him before going over.
"Xin Xin, why are you here?"
Just when Lian Xin was anxiously waiting, she suddenly heard someone next to her calling her, it should be called her.
Lian Xin turned his head when he heard the sound and saw that it was Su Yu.
"Senior brother, why are you here? No, it's normal that you're a teacher at A University in the first place. ”
Lian Xin remembered that at the airport, Su Yu had told him about teaching at A University.
"You're coming to the lecture too?" Su Yu didn't expect to see Lian Xin here, but he was a little surprised.
These days, Su Yu didn't think about going to Lian Xin, but he never found a suitable opportunity.
"yes."
Lian Xin was a little excited: "It's rare for a Harvard professor to come over to give a speech, and I came over to join in the fun." It just so happens that what he mentioned also has some overlap with my topic, and I want to ask him to find out. ”
"Well, his research is indeed good" Compared to Lian Xin's excitement, Su Yu seemed a little cold. He was more interested in the person in front of him.
"Since we've all met, let's have a meal together?"
"Okay!" Lian Xin agreed very much with Jiang Yu's proposal, and their brothers and sisters had not gotten together for many years.
"However, senior brother, you have to wait." Lian Xin's question hasn't been asked yet!
Seeing that the students in front of him had almost finished asking, Lian Xin hurried a few steps to the front, and after a brief hello to William, he asked him several questions in a row, and William was stunned: "This classmate is very talented, and the questions he asks are very elegant, and they are not easy to answer!" ”
After all, there are still differences between disciplines, and Professor William is not able to interpret Lian Xin's questions very well. Although Lian Xin did not get a very satisfactory result, she was still very grateful to Professor William for answering questions, which can be regarded as pointing out a direction for her to try to start from another angle.
Professor William was a little embarrassed and apologized repeatedly. Lian Xin was also a little embarrassed, her question was a bit like smashing the field. I don't know why Lian Xin said: "Professor William, don't be embarrassed, I'm not actually a student, I'm a teacher of anthropology at C University, and the question I just asked may be a bit anthropological, I'm embarrassed." ”
Listening to Lian Xin's words, William seemed to be even more embarrassed.
Su Yu on the side felt that Lian Xin was taking too much care of William's self-esteem, but in fact, she said that she was a teacher at C University, but she seemed to be losing face to him. His junior sister is sometimes too considerate, and it is easier to hurt others.
Just when Lian Xin and Professor William were standing a little awkwardly, not knowing what to say, Su Yu suddenly said, "She is a student of Mary Xiao." ”
