Chapter 70 The makeshift troupe from Tsinghua and Peking University
Chapter 70 The makeshift troupe from Tsinghua and Peking University
Gah!
A military green jeep drove into the Tsinghua and Peking University campuses and stopped in front of a teaching building.
The military personnel who brought Yu Zhen over got out of the car, briefly handed over the formalities with a young staff member from the school, and then told Yu Zhen, "From now on, all actions will be subject to the other party's command."
After saying that, he didn't give Yu Zhen any time to respond or react, jumped into the car and sped away.
Yu Zhen was a little confused. What was going on?!
The school staff member who picked him up also had a serious expression, with a tense poker face, as if Yu Zhen owed him eight hundred yuan and had never paid it back.
Yu Zhen looked around but didn't see anyone else present.
"Student Yu, please be mentally prepared for the upcoming short test that the school will be giving you."
I don't mean anything by this; it will determine how you will conduct further working contacts with Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
Okay, please follow me!
After the school staff member finished speaking, he walked forward.
Judging from the other side's demeanor, they seemed to harbor suspicion and caution towards Yu Zhen's arrival.
Anyway, there was some disdain and contempt.
However, due to certain external factors, I had to patiently continue contacting him.
Well, it's like we've come begging for food...
Yu Zhen was even more confused.
What does this mean? A little impromptu quiz? What will it be? Who will be the quiz taker? And what will the judging criteria be? What on earth is going on? So mysterious, are they playing games?!
He stopped in his tracks, wanting to confirm a few things first.
Seeing him still standing there in a daze, the staff member stopped more than ten steps away, turned around and gave him a cold look, then said sarcastically:
"What's wrong, Yu? As the newly crowned national science champion, are you afraid to take this little quiz that our school added on the spot?"
Wow!
To say that I felt uneasy just now, I could say that I was being a little too sensitive.
Now people are saying these things so directly.
Yu Zhen could easily tell that the other party was trying to provoke him.
But who the hell are you, you big-headed devil? Who are you anyway? We don't even know you, and you're trying to provoke us the moment we meet.
Are you trying to provoke your dad?
"Excuse me, who are you? Just showing up out of nowhere, acting all high and mighty, trying to provoke me? Questioning whether my top score in the national science exam is legitimate? Comrade, you've got the wrong idea. It's not that I, Yu Zhen, am begging or pleading with Tsinghua or Peking University. Since I can't get any respect from you, I'm just asking for it."
Please make yourself at home, bye-bye!
After saying that, Yu Zhen turned and left.
Is it that you can't communicate with people in a normal tone and manner?
They use provocation and sarcasm, all while putting on a ridiculously disdainful look. I'm fed up with this kind of pretentious, affected, and arrogant attitude.
The school staff member was clearly not expecting that Yu Zhen would be a hundred times more troublesome than he had imagined, simply because he had made a slight gesture. He immediately turned his back and refused to work anymore.
Now I'm feeling a bit awkward.
He couldn't keep up the act any longer and quickly jogged to catch up, shouting urgently as he did so.
"Student Yu, student Yu, student Yu... please wait a moment, student Yu..."
Panting heavily, he finally caught up with the person.
The other person blocked Yu Zhen's way, clasped his hands together, bowed and scraped, and kept explaining.
Then immediately, he quickly began introducing himself.
After much explanation and persuasion, Yu Zhen's frustration was finally dispelled.
It turns out that this staff member was neither a teacher at Tsinghua or Peking University, nor any faculty or staff member.
He himself is just a soon-to-be senior undergraduate student in the Computer Science Department of Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
During the last period of the worker-peasant-soldier school system, students were admitted to the school based on letters of recommendation.
A local resident of Beijing, and a prospective faculty member of the school.
Simply put, he is a person with substantial social connections.
As for why the other party became Yu Zhen's receptionist.
It's currently summer vacation, and there aren't many staff members from the Computer Science Department on duty at the school. They all happened to be in the main urban area for a meeting.
The incident was sudden, and the higher-ups urgently summoned Yu Zhen to Beijing to confirm some matters in person.
This person was summoned from home by a last-minute phone call from the department head around 1 p.m. today.
The idea of giving Yu Zhen a quick quiz is nothing more than his own cleverness.
Upon hearing this, the person realized that the person who was to be temporarily returned to school to receive the top science student in this year's national college entrance examination was the one who had recently become the top science student in the national college entrance examination. There were many false rumors circulating in society about this year's top science student.
Beijing is the second most affected area by rumors, after Shanghai.
Moreover, Yu Zhen had been stirring up trouble in the literary circle for a long time. By founding the "Xinghan Cup" National Science Fiction Literature Creation Competition, he stirred up a "bloody storm" in the literary creation world, causing great harm to the literary circle in Beijing. His close relative happened to be a professional in the field, an experienced editor at the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.
As a local born and raised in Beijing.
I was unexpectedly called in by my boss to be a receptionist.
Hehe, deep down, he's got that kind of mentality, acting like a typical Beijing tycoon right under the emperor's nose. He can't help but get carried away.
In short, Yu Zhen's fame spread throughout the martial arts world in a rather unsatisfactory way.
Most importantly, Yu Zhen now represents the pinnacle of glory in Shanghai's social circles.
This has a natural rivalry with the Beijing entertainment circle.
So he took it upon himself to try and give Yu Zhen a little warning before the department teachers and professors finished their meeting and rushed back to school, using his clever methods to dampen Yu Zhen's arrogance.
Ideally, Yu Zhen would be brought back to his original state.
Despite all his calculations, Yu Zhen's single move of "I won't serve you" instantly rendered the man speechless. He could only play along, feigning "sincerity" and revealing all his ulterior motives in an attempt to gain Yu Zhen's forgiveness.
And Yu Zhen's people didn't leave.
"Student Yu, the department leaders and several professors have all gone to the city for a meeting with leaders from the military research institute and the Ministry of Science and Technology. We never expected that you would dare to fly directly from Shanghai to Beijing in a fighter jet. We thought you wouldn't be able to get to Tsinghua or Peking University until late tonight or tomorrow morning. It's my fault, I shouldn't have taken it for granted and tried to trip you up..."
After listening to the other party's explanation.
Yu Zhen remained silent.
Good heavens, this is a prestigious university like Tsinghua or Peking University, and it also involves military research institutes and science and technology ministries. In response to an urgent mission call from above, the military responded quickly from both sides, and I also rushed over in a great hurry.
As a result, after rushing to school, I encountered this annoying thing first.
This world is indeed full of makeshift operations.
An hour later, the roar of a car engine came from downstairs in the teaching building.
The department leaders who went to the meeting included several elderly professors with white hair, Vice President Zhang, Chief Engineer Luo, and several people in military uniforms.
A group of about twenty or thirty people got off the car and went upstairs together.
"Comrade Yu Zhen, I really didn't expect that you would arrive at Tsinghua and Peking Universities before us."
Come, come, let me introduce you to the leaders from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, as well as some of the top computer science professors in China, and the leaders of major Spark Program projects in supercomputing, artificial intelligence, and other fields from the Chinese military…”
With a beaming smile, Zhang Fushi was the first to greet Yu Zhen. He then grabbed Yu Zhen's left forearm and, like an arrogant parent who finally had the chance to show off his exceptional child to visiting relatives, introduced him to everyone present.
On such an important occasion, the old man who had been temporarily responsible for receiving Yu Zhen, Lord Mao Jing, had long since slunk away and disappeared.
I bet he's gone and wants to crawl into a hole in the ground!
