Xueba starts with change

Chapter 540 Professor Emeritus
The dinner was held at Shanghai Peace Hotel where Chen Zhou stayed.

When Chen Zhou and Chen Haibin arrived, the banquet hall was already full of people.

As soon as Secretary Xiao Li saw Chen Zhou and the two, he immediately went up to meet them.

"Mayor Chen, all the arrangements for the banquet hall have been prepared, and we are waiting for you to start the banquet."

Chen Haibin nodded slightly, and asked softly, "Is everyone here?"

Secretary Xiao Li replied, "Everyone is here."

"That's good." Chen Haibin looked around and looked at the crowd here, and ordered, "The time is just right, let's start the banquet."

"Okay, mayor." Secretary Xiao Li responded, and then went to notify the waiter.

Chen Zhou and Chen Haibin were surrounded by other people.

"Mayor Chen, this must be Dr. Chen Zhou?" An old man with gray hair spoke out first.

Chen Haibin introduced with a smile: "That's right, this is Dr. Chen Zhou whom we miss so much. Dr. Chen Zhou took dozens of hours of flying before returning to China. He hasn't had a good rest yet. I was dragged over to the dinner party."

"So, Mr. Yu, professors, we must treat Dr. Chen Zhou well, and we must not lose our etiquette."

The old man called Yu Lao said with a smile: "That's natural, Dr. Chen Zhou is our protagonist tonight."

The rest of the people also echoed: "Dr. Chen Zhou took a bumpy journey and finally returned to China. This fell on us in Shanghai. We must do our best to be the landlord!"

"That's right, Mayor Chen, don't worry, we will definitely accompany Dr. Chen Zhou at this dinner party today!"

Chen Haibin's words set the tone for tonight's dinner.

Judging from the reactions of these people, Chen Zhou knew what he wanted, and there was a high probability that it would come true.

This has not even begun, and these people are already so enthusiastic.

Not to mention, after a while the dinner party officially started.

As for the old city that Chen Haibin mentioned, Chen Zhou still had an impression.

One of the Huaguo C9 university alliances, the top five universities in Huaguo, and the principal of Hudan University in Shanghai.

Chen Zhou still remembered that when the college entrance examination was over, Hudan University in Shanghai also offered him an olive branch.

"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved." Chen Haibin said with a smile.

Immediately, Chen Haibin began to introduce these people in front of Chen Zhou.

In addition to Yu Lao, the president of Shanghai Hudan University, there are also the presidents of Shanghai Jiaotong University, the president of Tongji University, the president of Eastern University of Technology, the president of Shanghai University, and so on.

The professors and scholars of many other colleges and universities can't finish the introduction.

While Chen Haibin was introducing, Chen Zhou also greeted each of them very politely.

Naturally, while Chen Zhou greeted him, there was another wave of praise.

Hearing these people's praises, Chen Zhou felt quite refreshed.

After Chen Haibin finished his introduction, Secretary Li also returned to the banquet hall and whispered a few words in Chen Haibin's ear.

After Secretary Li finished speaking, Chen Haibin greeted him: "The dinner is ready, let's chat while eating, don't just stand here."

After the words fell, a group of university principals surrounded Chen Zhou and began to sit.

Most of the presidents, professors, and scholars of universities with a certain reputation in Shanghai came to this dinner.

Also because it is in Shanghai, the attitude of this dinner can actually be regarded as a microcosm of Huaguo's college circle.

And the protagonist of this dinner, as these people said just now, is undoubtedly Chen Zhou!
This can also be seen from where Chen Zhou is sitting.

Chen Zhou is sitting in the absolute C position!

After the dinner began, Chen Haibin, as the mayor of Shanghai-listed companies, first delivered a speech.

Afterwards, Chen Haibin warmly invited Chen Zhou to speak on stage.

Chen Zhou was more respectful than obedient, walked onto the stage, and began to deliver his speech.

Because everyone here is basically from the college circle.

Chen Zhou naturally gave his speech around academics and scientific research.

"Dear colleagues, colleges and universities are the most basic position for cultivating talents, and also the first place for students to get in touch with scientific research. From the perspective of scientific research, our colleges and universities should focus on cultivating students' scientific research quality..."

"As far as I am concerned, the first time I came into contact with subject research was when I was a freshman, and I was still a student in the Department of Mathematics..."

Taking himself as an example and speaking with facts is the consistent style of Chen Zhou's speeches.

When Chen Zhou's speech ended, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.

It wasn't until Chen Zhou re-entered the table that the applause gradually disappeared.

Chen Haibin took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and said to Chen Zhou: "Dr. Chen Zhou, while congratulating you on winning the Nobel Prize in Physics, thank you for bringing the Nobel Prize in Physics back to China!"

Chen Zhou said politely: "This is what every scientific researcher should do."

When Chen Haibin heard the words, he immediately praised: "Dr. Chen Zhou's scientific research attitude is worth learning for all our scientific researchers!"

Chen Zhou looked at the people around him modestly, and said, "Scientific research requires everyone to learn from each other."

Chen Haibin smiled and said, "Come, Dr. Chen Zhou, I respect you!"

Chen Zhou: "You're welcome."

With Chen Haibin taking the lead, the principals, professors, and scholars of these colleges and universities began their own efforts.

After some toasting, Chen Zhou obviously felt that Huaguo's wine was the most intoxicating.

Fortunately, his drinking capacity is not bad, and he can withstand the bombing of these people.

This scene surprised Chen Haibin.

Although he had no intention of getting Chen Zhou drunk, he was even prepared not to let Chen Zhou drink too much.

But I didn't expect that Chen Zhou's alcohol capacity was so good.

Could it be that this wine can also bring inspiration?

Those who do research, do they have two cups if they have nothing to do?
Thinking of this, Chen Haibin's expression couldn't help being a little strange.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

Some professors have already taken the initiative to ask Chen Zhou about his plans after returning to China.

Although Chen Zhou didn't hide anything, he didn't tell the whole truth.

He just said that his project at CERN has not been fully completed, and he will definitely continue to study the topic of particle physics in the future.

When Chen Zhou mentioned this plan, he actually indirectly told Chen Haibin and the principals of these colleges about his whereabouts.

After all, if he wanted to continue his research on particle physics, the Institute of High Energy Physics of Huaguo Academy of Sciences would definitely be his best choice.

Chen Haibin and the principals of these colleges naturally understood the meaning of Chen Zhou's words.

However, it was hard to catch such an opportunity.

The 21-year-old youngest winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics is right in front of his eyes. Whatever they say, they will not give up so easily.

Therefore, in the warm atmosphere of the dinner, Mr. Yu, one of the C9 universities and the president of the top five universities in Huaguo, took the initiative to say: "Dr. Chen Zhou, besides the research institute, do you have any other plans? For example, come to the university to teach and train young people?"

Hearing this, Chen Zhou was silent for a while, and then said: "I still have some ideas about teaching."

Hearing this, not only Mr. Yu, but also Chen Haibin and the principals of other universities all looked at Chen Zhou in unison.

Even the principals of many colleges and universities knew that there was a high probability that Chen Zhou would not come to his school.

But isn't there a contingency for everything?
What if Chen Zhou sees the potential of his school?
You know, the joining of a Nobel laureate can bring earth-shaking changes to the school.

This is why the principals and professors of C9 universities such as Shanghai Hudan University and Shanghai Jiaotong University, and the top universities in Huaguo, will also attend this dinner.

Mr. Yu asked again: "Dr. Chen Zhou, since you have this idea, do you know if there is any university you like? If not, what do you think of our Shanghai Hudan University?"

As soon as he heard Yu Lao's words, he hadn't waited for Chen Zhou to speak.

The principals and professors of other colleges and universities have already become nervous.

This is a battle of stealing people!
Whoever speaks first has the advantage!
At the same time, while they were nervous, they were also looking forward to Chen Zhou's answer.

If the invitations from Hudan University in Shanghai are not attractive, then they probably have to hang up too.

As for that eventuality, it was just an eventuality after all.

Chen Zhou looked up at Mr. Yu, and saw the expectation in Mr. Yu's eyes.

However, Hudan University in Shanghai was not his choice.

Chen Zhou didn't beat around the bush, but said directly: "Mr. Yu, principals, the choice of colleges and universities was actually decided as early as SLAC, when I held the rubber ball report."

Hearing Chen Zhou's words, Chen Haibin, Mr. Yu, as well as the principals and professors of the colleges all showed surprised and puzzled expressions.

It's not that they don't believe Chen Zhou's words, they're just surprised, if it had been settled long ago.

How could it be possible for Fu Haitian and others to cause such a big storm of public opinion in Huaguo?
But then, they thought of one thing.

In this storm of public opinion, the university that stood up and firmly supported its students.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help stretching their thoughts and magnifying their thoughts.

If it is said that Chen Zhou has already made up his plan to return to China, then Fu Haitian and the others jumped out, wouldn't they?

As if to confirm the thoughts of these people, Chen Zhou continued with a smile: "Didn't Yanda send a physics academic team to the report at that time? I believe everyone knows about it."

"At that time, Yanda contacted me and formulated a series of conditions such as a re-employment plan for me."

"It's just that I didn't agree to them on the spot because I hadn't solved the problem of Goldbach's conjecture and didn't complete my postgraduate studies."

"However, I also told them that I will consider their invitation after I graduate."

"So, I'm very sorry, Mr. Yu, Yanda University's invitation came first, and I agreed to them early on. It was me who had no chance with Hudan University in Shanghai."

After Chen Zhou finished speaking, everyone's thoughts were pulled back, and there were not so many thoughts.

According to Chen Zhou, at that time, he was indeed just solving the problem of rubber balls, and there was no news about the research on Goldbach's conjecture.

When faced with a world-class problem like Goldbach's conjecture, he didn't know when he would be able to solve it.

From this point of view, Fu Haitian and the others just jumped out to cause trouble, and had little to do with Chen Zhou or Yan University.

But also because of Chen Zhou's frankness, their goal today cannot be achieved.

When Mr. Yu heard Chen Zhou's words, he seemed to have expected it, and said with a smile: "It is indeed the best choice to return to his alma mater after studying. However, Dr. Chen Zhou, you have no chance with Shanghai Hudan University. , that's not right..."

Chen Zhou was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what Yu Lao meant.

Yu Lao explained: "Although you choose to teach at Yanda University, it shouldn't prevent us from hiring you as an honorary professor at Hudan University in Shanghai, right?"

Chen Zhou asked suspiciously, "Honorary professor?"

Although Chen Zhou was still a little confused, Chen Haibin beside him immediately understood what Yu Lao meant.

In any case, the title of Chen Zhou, the Nobel Prize winner in physics, cannot be taken by Yanda.

Therefore, instead of talking, Chen Haibin took the initiative to explain: "Dr. Chen, the meaning of honorary professor is actually very easy to understand. It is to commend your outstanding contributions in the academic world."

Mr. Yu also said: "That's right, as Mayor Chen said, an honorary professor is an honorary title without any other restrictions."

"Oh, that's right..." Chen Zhou nodded lightly, he really didn't know much about these names.

He vaguely remembered Mr. Zhou, a famous comedian, who seemed to be hired by Huaguo Renmin University as a visiting professor.

It seems to be different from his honorary professor.

"Dr. Chen, on behalf of Hudan University in Shanghai, I formally invite you to become an honorary professor of our school. What do you think?" After exchanging glances with Chen Haibin, Mr. Yu immediately said again.

Chen Zhou just wanted to agree, but when he looked up, he saw a group of eager people.

He suddenly realized that he had been brought into their rhythm by Yu Lao.

Sitting here are the principals and professors of major universities in Shanghai.

If he agreed to Mr. Yu's invitation, then if the principals and professors of other universities extended invitations to him, would he accept it or not?
Therefore, Chen Zhou swallowed the words that had already reached his mouth.

He turned to say: "Old Yu, this is indeed a very tempting invitation, but please allow me to think about it again, okay?"

After the words fell, Chen Zhou said again: "Mr. Yu, no matter whether you are an honorary professor or not, please don't refuse any joint research in the future."

Chen Zhou's words can be regarded as bringing himself out of this rhythm.

It not only leaves space for myself, but also gives opportunities for cooperation with other universities.

Yu Lao smiled and said: "Dr. Chen, don't worry, we are not willing to refuse the collaborative research of your Nobel laureate..."

After understanding my "situation" and deeply realizing the fact that I am regarded as a "sweet pastry" by all parties.

When Chen Zhou communicated, he also began to pay attention to his own words.

I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will fall into the small circle of these college principals.

After all, this is not the principal of a high school.

The dinner party lasted until after nine o'clock in the evening.

Chen Zhou returned to his room drunk.

The only thing Chen Zhou still remembers.

Just to ask Cross, have you bought the ticket to Yanjing tomorrow...
