Chapter 340 - National Primary and Secondary School New Year Gala! (2/2)

”There will be college entrance examinations in a few more months. I need to work hard too. This place sure is huge. It's really worthy of being the number one inst.i.tute of higher learning in the country. It really lives up to its reputation.”

”I really envy those elder brothers and sisters who study here.”

”Ah! Look, look!That's Zhang Ye!”

”Who is Zhang Ye?”

”You are such a turtle! You don't even know Zhang Ye?”

”I know, Zhang Ye is that guy who does Talk Shows. He's quite a famous host, and now, it seems he's teaching in Peking University. He proposed many unprecedented and amazing points of view regarding 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. Our language teacher even mentioned Zhang Ye a few days ago during our lessons. He said Zhang Ye's lectures on 'Dream of the Red Chamber' were excellent!”

A few students pointed at Zhang Ye, but they did not go over. They just looked at him from a distance.

Professor Zeng patted Zhang Ye, ”You are quite popular.”

Zhang Ye could not help but laugh. ”Don't say that. My popularity is just notoriety. It's well known in the industry.”

”Oh, you are aware of that?” Professor Zeng was also amused. ”Then, why do you keep causing trouble? Everything would be fine if you take a step back. Try to have patience and endure it if possible.”

Zhang Ye smiled. It was unknown if it got to him.

Suddenly, a girl's voice sounded, ”Bro!”

Looking towards the origin of the sound, Zhang Ye saw his third cousin in the crowd. He waved his hand and saw Cao Mengmeng pull her form teacher, Teacher Leng, over.

Zhang Ye said, ”Teacher Leng.”

”Teacher Zhang, we meet again.” Teacher Leng smiled and then looked at Professor Zeng. She hurriedly stretched out her hand, ”You are Professor Zeng, right? I've seen your papers before.”

Professor Zeng shook hands with her. ”Nice to meet you.”

Zhang Ye introduced, ”This is my cousin, and this is her form teacher, Teacher Leng.” Then patted Cao Mengmeng on the head, ”Call him Grandpa Zeng.”

Cao Mengmeng said cutely, ”Grandpa Zeng, how do you do?!”

”Hi, h.e.l.lo.” Professor Zeng beamed and said, ”This young lady is really beautiful.”

Zhang Ye trampled on her. ”What do you mean beautiful? She's just mischievous and causes trouble all the time.”

Cao Mengmeng stared. ”Bro, why are you speaking bad about me. I will ignore you in the future. No, I'm mentally scarred now. You have to compensate me. My cellphone needs an upgrade!”

Zhang Ye rolled his eyes. ”You only know to rob me every day or two, and you still want to upgrade your cellphone? Your bro hasn't even changed his own and he’s so poor now.”

From somewhere else, a few Peking University students walked over.

Yao Mi waved. ”Teacher Zhang.”

Senior Song and Senior Zhou also greeted them.

Zhang Ye nodded. ”You guys came too? Does our Peking University have a show to put on?”

Senior Song said, ”Nothing to do with us. We are just here as spectators. A few people from every cla.s.s are given this opportunity.”

Yao Mi hurried said, ”Teacher Zhang, you and Professor Y...”

”Teacher Zhang, go about your business. We will be entering first.” Senior Zhou tugged at Yao Mi to prevent her from speaking blindly. The few of them began lining up to enter the venue with tickets in hand.

”What are you doing!?” Yao Mi stared.

Senior Zhou gave a wry smile. ”There are so many people around. Don't speak without thinking.”

However, even if it was not asked, many people had already heard about the conflict between Zhang Ye and Yan Jiantao that afternoon. A few teachers and students, who came to Peking University, also glanced at Zhang Ye as they whispered amongst themselves.

After sending his cousin off, Zhang Ye and Professor Zeng entered the Grand Auditorium. They were the hosts and the organizers, so the seats that were reserved for them were better. They were all seated the front row.

President Wu was already there.

There were a few people surrounding her that Zhang Ye had never seen before. They were likely the leaders of Peking University.

With another glance, he saw Yan Jiantao sitting in the second row. He was chatting with an elderly professor from another department he was familiar with. With that, the few of them stared over at Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye ignored Yan Jiantao and went to the third row with Professor Zeng.

Su Na stroked her chin, ”Professor Zeng and Teacher Zhang, you came too? I thought both of you would be busy. Sorry for not getting you when I came over.”

Professor Zeng said with a chuckle, ”How can we not attend such a good gala?”

People began to enter in droves. The auditorium, that could hold a few thousand people, was quickly filled up. It was quite lively. There were a large number of reporters and cameras. Although it was not broadcasted on television, it would still be recorded and released on the internet.
