The lecture hall was already packed with people. Although the largest screening hall and lecture hall on the E Building had hundreds of seats, it still didn't look like there were enough seats.
Xie Yujia was afraid that someone would occupy their seat, so she pulled Hao Ren and hurried to her reserved seat.
Finally, she found two empty seats belonging to her according to the number, so she grabbed Hao Ren's arm and walked in, sat on the seat, and breathed a sigh of relief.
It was at this time that she realized that she had been holding Hao Ren's palm, her face quickly turned red, and she hurriedly let go. Her palm was slippery and a little wet, all because she was sweating due to being too nervous.
.
Hao Ren also retracted his hand in embarrassment and wiped his slightly wet palms on his clothes. He had been dragged by the squad leader just now, but he was too embarrassed to ask her to let go, so he could only be dragged in by her.
As Hao Zhonghua stepped onto the podium in front, the originally noisy lecture hall suddenly became quiet.
"Oops, I forgot to buy water." Xie Yujia suddenly said while sitting on her seat.
"I'll buy it." Hao Ren quickly stood up.
"Forget it!" Xie Yujia hurriedly grabbed him again, "It's almost starting."
Hao Ren turned around and looked at her. Xie Yujia's face suddenly turned red and she quickly took her hand back.
I seem to be too excited today, why do I keep touching him... Xie Yujia blushed and reflected on herself secretly.
"Oh..." Hao Ren sat down again and didn't pay attention to Xie Yujia's expression.
For the science and technology speech given by Mr. and Mrs. Hao Zhonghua, the lecture hall is divided into three areas.
The first two rows are reserved for city leaders, school leaders, senior professors and the most authoritative scientists in the East China Sea region.
The six or seven rows in the middle are masters and doctoral students in related majors who came from major universities in Donghai City. Many of them are also the proud students of the professors in front of them. The school has also arranged corresponding seats according to their number.
The area at the back is the seats reserved for undergraduates of Tunghai University. Of course, as Xie Yujia said, tickets are provided in limited quantities. Xie Yujia managed to get two tickets through the student union. For other students, if there are no seats
, I can only stand.
However, the seat Xie Yujia fought for was pretty good. It was considered a front row in the third area, and he could clearly see Hao Zhonghua and Yueyang couple on the podium.
The entire lecture hall was packed with people, and even the corridors were filled with students. Many people stood on tiptoes and looked forward, fearing that they would not be able to see these two nationally famous scientists.
This on-campus speech was an unprecedented event.
“On this festive day today, we at Tunghai University are extremely honored to invite world-famous couples from the scientific community, Academician Hao Zhonghua and Academician Yueyang, to our school for scientific research lectures. Academician Hao Zhonghua and Academician Yueyang are academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences respectively.
and academicians of the Academy of Engineering. They just returned to China from Europe and came to our school to give lectures. It is really an honor for our school! Academician Hao Zhonghua, this time won the most prestigious award in the biomedical field abroad, the Gairdner Award!
And Academician Yueyang, with her latest climate research, won the Graf Prize, which is called the 'Nobel Prize in Ecology' in the scientific community! This is our Chinese scientific community..."
The principal used his emotional tone to narrate his opening remarks. Xie Yujia, who was beside Hao Ren, raised her head and looked ahead, listening with the same emotion, as if it was not Hao Zhonghua and his wife who won the award, but herself.
When she turned around and saw Hao Ren's calm face, her expression suddenly changed from excitement to dissatisfaction, and she bumped him with her arm, "Did you hear that! How amazing they are! They won two international awards!"
"Just get the prize, there's nothing strange about it." Hao Ren said calmly.
"You!" Xie Yujia puffed her lips, not even bothering to teach him a lesson, and continued to crane her neck and look forward.
She has read a lot of related science and technology news and knows that this Gairdner Award is also called the "Little Nobel Prize" because in history, a quarter of the Gairdner Award winners will later receive
Nobel Prize, so this award is also considered as the "Nobel Prize Preparatory Prize".
After the principal finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.
The applause was extremely warm and lasting. It was not because the principal gave a good lecture, but because these two world-famous scientists first went to Tunghai University to give speeches after winning the award, which really excited the students.
As the principal stepped down from the podium, Hao Zhonghua, a tall man with an extraordinary appearance, walked up from the side.
Xie Yujia's eyes immediately lit up next to Hao Ren, and she looked like an enthusiastic fan of Hao Zhonghua.
Hao Zhonghua took the microphone, cleared his throat, smiled slightly, and said, "The principal has oversold me. In fact, we still have a long way to go on the road of science. China's scientific development requires the efforts of an entire generation of us."
Effort is not measured by trophies and certificates. This time my wife and I went to Europe, winning awards was second, and mainly to have some exchanges with foreign colleagues. When we returned to China, we first went to Tunghai University to give a speech.
It’s because I just returned to China and I have some free time. On the other hand, it’s also because Tunghai University is my alma mater and I have a deep feeling for Tunghai University..."
His voice was full and magnetic. Xie Yujia tilted her neck and listened carefully. Her almost nymphomaniacal intoxication was no less than the star-chasing attitude of those little girls in junior high school.
"This Hao Zhonghua is so handsome, so smart, and so elegant... If my future husband is like this..."
Behind Hao Ren, several girls commented softly with slightly trembling voices.
Uh...is he so handsome...Hao Ren has stars all over his head.
He turned to look at Xie Yujia again, and saw her eyes flashing, her hands on her chin, her mouth slightly open, with a look of anticipation on her face.
On the podium, after Hao Zhonghua finished speaking a bunch of polite words, he began to talk about his latest scientific research results, which is what he won the award for this time.
The professors, master students, and doctoral students in the first and second areas listened very carefully, as if they were listening to the teacher in class, taking notes and recording them continuously. In some places, they even fell into deep thought, and then continued to agree.
He nodded, lowered his head and copied quickly, as if he had some understanding.
Although the undergraduates at Donghai University in the third area could not understand what Hao Zhonghua was talking about, they still listened quietly and did not make any noise.
However, Hao Zhonghua's speech was not particularly profound. Even if you are not an undergraduate majoring in biology, you can still understand some general concepts if you barely listen to it, but you are not clear on some details.
The purpose of Tunghai University in holding such science and technology lectures is mainly to create a gathering effect. On the one hand, it allows undergraduates to immerse themselves in a strong scientific research atmosphere and experience this high-level academic exchange. On the other hand, it attracts the attention of the media and the scientific community.
, Let Tunghai University upgrade to a higher level.
Hao Zhonghua talked non-stop, occasionally using gestures to enhance the effect of his speech. His clear organization and complete thinking made the gray-haired scientists look on with admiration.
An hour passed like a stream. Hao Zhonghua finished his speech. Everyone in the audience, whether they were city leaders, school leaders, professors and students, had not yet come away from the charm of this science, and they were still full of ideas.
Hua Hua Hua... When everyone reacted, a wave of applause immediately sounded enthusiastically.
This time, the applause really lasted for more than five minutes.
Hao Ren also joined in the applause. Xie Yujia probably felt that Hao Ren had finally been exaggerated, and proudly touched Hao Ren with his arm, "See, this is the power of science!"
Then, she said with emotion, "As expected of a great scientist, he can explain such cutting-edge things in such a profound and simple way, and his speech skills are also top-notch!"
Hao Ren looked at her helplessly, feeling that Xie Yujia had already admired Hao Zhonghua to a certain extent, and he almost felt jealous.
