It was almost 1PM
Inside the Grand Auditoriu University
Zhang Ye had arrived, but stayed in the resting rooe He could hear the busy chatter in the auditorium and he understood that all of these people were here today because of him They were all here to listen to his lecture At thatYe felt a rush of adrenaline in his heart Just like he had mentioned earlier, he was not the type who loved to speak It was this way at home, and had also been the same at school He was a low profile type of person in class and had generally never attracted much attention, but whenever there were activities, like a stage play, Zhang Ye’s spirit would perk up He was the typical field player The er the occasion, the or!
“HowYe asked
“Teacher Zhang, there’s still 10 minutes” An auditorium staff member told him
“OK, the projector and theYe asked
The staff member said, “They’ve all been test already Please do not worry I guarantee that there won’t be any problems We’ve already tested it a few times”
Zhang Ye sht, thank you very much for everyone’s hard work”
“Look at you being courteous, isn’t this our job?” The few staff members were very courteous and polite They knew that the focus of society was all on Peking University today
At the venue
The caed to Peking University, and soained prior approval fro their video cameras to record, but if they wanted to post any parts of the public lecture, they would have to seek approval froreed on
There were a total of 7-8 video cameras set up
The 5000-6000 seats were all filled, with none left eet in too
Wu Zeqing and a few other faces that Zhang Ye did not knoere the last to arrive When they arrived, the people ere seated in the front row greeted them
“President Wu”
“Dean wang is here too?”
“President Chen, long time no see”
This was Peking University’s group of leaders A total of 4 people, each one of thehest ranked leader should be the sa for a while, they all took their seats
Those who greeted them were naturally not ordinary people either
Those who sat in the front roere ures and experts of the literature and history world
Take for example, Elder Qian President Wu and Vice President Chen both knew him, but Vice President Chen probably knew hi chat
Wu Zeqing was having a conversation with another woman instead
Yan Yu laughed, “President Wu, your Peking University really has some talented people”
“We’re doing OK i guess” Wu Zeqing replied softly, “We can’t compare to your Writers’ association, I didn’t expect to see you here today, Vice-President Yan I heard that you’ve been busy with your book launch”
Yan Yu, the National Writers’ association’s Vice-President An author, a scholar, and a Redologist
Yan Yu’s lips curled, “I was busy with the book launch, but I couldn’t help it This book ritten about the appreciation of ‘Drea University’s Teacher Zhang has totally negated ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’ with his new claims I wouldn’t be able to publish this now, so I came over to ‘learn’”
Anyone could hear the sarcasm in Yan Yu’s answer
Wu Zeqing put on a de, but instead having a discussion”
At the other end, a slightly tanned-lookingYe President Wu, I really respect you, but that Zhang Ye…” He shook his head
Elder Qian interrupted saying, “Little Yang, why are you bringing your personal emotions into this? Hur Hur”
The Redologist, Teacher Yang said, “Elder Qian, I’ emotional here I’m just someone who ‘looks forward to the death of a fellow peer’, so how could I be emotional?”
Indeed, these people were here with unfriendly intentions
Their words all carried a sting
Professor Zeng tried to put in a good word, “Old Yang, Teacher Little Zhang’s mouth can be rather vicious, but in terms of literary skills, he is still a professional If he has offended you in anyway, I want to apologize on his behalf to everyone” They were fro University, while uest were experts froh not well They had seen or heard of each other, and since this circle was not big, they knew of each other
Old Yang waved dismissively, “There’s no need for that”
Meng Dongguo, the Vice-President of the Beijing Writer’s association was also present He looked at his watch and said, “He’s not co out yet?”
Renst theathered here to talk badly about Zhang Ye, ready to see him make a joke of hiht?”
Chang Kaige looked over to hiin?”
Ma Hengyuan said impatiently, “I still have a class in the afternoon I will leave after listening for 30 ! Does he really have to start on ti for a junior like him?”
This was precisely what looking for issues to pick on looked like
Many of Peking University’s lecturers glanced at hied him to come anyway!
Countdown of three minutes…Countdown of two minutes…
During the final e and onto the e podium
The applause was sparse and not very synchronized
Only Yao Mi and a few others, who really liked Zhang Ye, screah the applause were limited, in the end, it still felt rather lively
“Teacher Zhang’s so awesome!” Yao Mi shouted!
Yao Mi’s dor, I love you!”
When those words rang out, the 5000 seater auditoriuhter
The Redologists and writers in the front row shook their heads lightly This was an acade event How could a lesson begin like this—Whatever it was that Zhang Ye did, they would not be pleased with it They were here today to deal a fatal blow should Zhang Ye’s lecture present any arguical errors
The reporters were all putting up their utmost concentration
“He’s here, he’s here!”
“Quick, turn on the video camera!”
“Check the i important out of the frame!
The Peking University students also looked excitedly at the stage Many of the Ye would present his lecture today, while some others did not care about this, but were instead here to see what kind of bo Ye would throw out this time!
Hu Fei looked at the stage with a smile
