Zhang Zhong and the others only stayed in Yanjing for one day, and took a flight back to Jiangyang on Sunday morning.
However, after returning to Jiangyang, they did not go home immediately, but stayed at the airport because they had to pick up an important guest later.
At five o'clock in the evening, Zhang Zhong stood in the arrival hall, holding a sign like many others, which read in English "Welcome Mr. Ludinger to Jiangyang".
When Zhang Zhong went to Columbia University with a visiting delegation last time, he talked to Ludinger about letting him go to Jiangyang University. At that time, Ludinger also agreed, but he did not agree on a specific time.
Two days ago, Zhang Zhong received a call from Ludinger, saying that he wanted to come over this weekend and asked Zhang Zhong if it was inconvenient.
Of course it was convenient for Zhang Zhong, and he agreed immediately.
After a while, Ruedinger appeared.
But he didn't come alone. There was a large group of people with him. It seemed that these people should have teachers and students.
Two of these people impressed Zhang Zhong, especially one with an Asian face.
The last time the delegation arrived in New York, this man picked them up. Zhang Zhong still remembered his name, which was Yang Xiao.
But what puzzled Zhang Zhong was how Yang Xiao, who should be from Literary News, got mixed up with Ludinger.
"Principal Ludinger, welcome to Jiangyang." Zhang Zhong shook hands with Ludinger.
The president of Columbia University said with a smile, "I will trouble you when I come to Jiangyang this time, pz."
Zhang Chong smiled. Ludinger had just arrived in China and was already using Chinese politeness skillfully.
"This is my girlfriend and my daughter." Zhang Zhong introduced Pengpeng and Xu Yuhan to Ludinger.
If a Chinese person hears the words girlfriend and daughter appearing at the same time, he may be tempted to gossip, but Ludinger will not do so at all, because many young people in Europe and the United States, especially those in Europe, do not choose to get married. Maybe
I have given birth to several children, but we are still boyfriend and girlfriend.
Because of this, Ludinger thought Pengpeng was Xu Yuhan's daughter.
"These are teachers from our school. You may have met some of them. This is Yang, a lecturer at East Asia College. Nesbo..."
Ludinger introduced and Zhang Zhong greeted them.
It's just that his eyes stayed on Yang Xiao for a little longer, but he didn't expect that this guy would suddenly transform into a lecturer at Columbia University's School of East Asia.
Did he work part-time at Literary Newspaper before?
It is not uncommon for university lecturers to work part-time in other institutions, but Yang Xiao is obviously not one of these people, because even if he was working part-time, Literary News would not let him pick him up at the airport.
Besides, the million-dollar watch gleaming on someone’s wrist is no joke.
Maybe he is a rich second generation who plays games in the world.
Zhang Zhong did not mention anything he had met with Yang Xiao before, but Yang Xiao took the initiative to mention it, "Teacher Zhang, do you still remember me? The last time you went to New York, I was the one who picked you up."
Since Yang Xiao took the initiative to mention it, Zhang Zhong also expressed his doubts, "I remember that you were there to pick up the plane on behalf of Literary News."
Yang Xiao nodded, "That's right, because "Literary News" is a property under my name. I also came over to make a cameo last time. In fact, my main job is still a teacher."
I don’t know why, although Yang Xiao said such shocking news, Zhang Zhong was not too surprised. He just nodded calmly, "Mr. Yang is obsessed with education, which is admirable. It is not too early now, and several of the following
I will go to the hotel to check in first and have a meal together in the evening to catch up with you all."
…
The next day, the auditorium of the new campus of Shizhong College was crowded with students.
This new auditorium was just completed not long ago, and this is the first time it has been used. During the last opening ceremony of the middle school, Zhang Zhong did not use this new auditorium, but borrowed the lecture hall of Jiangyang University because there were not many freshmen in the college.
, there is no need to use such a large auditorium.
Reed Group spent generously and the new auditorium is very large with more than 3,000 seats.
Such a large auditorium is a bit too spacious for the current Shizhong College, because the total number of teachers and students in Shizhong College is only a few hundred.
However, Zhang Zhong believes that as Shizhong College continues to grow, sooner or later, this auditorium will be filled with students from Shizhong College.
That day, Ruedinger completed his first speech in the new auditorium.
In his speech, Rudinger mentioned that Columbia University is willing to carry out in-depth cooperation with Shizhong College and conduct more frequent exchanges.
Although this was all verbal, it still gave the students of Shizhong College a sense of encouragement.
The college currently has only two grades of students. Although Dean Zhang Zhong is famous, the reputation of the principal does not mean that their future is bright, so many students are still a little confused about the future.
But if Shizhong College can cooperate with "industry giants" like Columbia University, it will undoubtedly add a bright light to their future prospects.
Logically speaking, when students come to school, they should be more concerned about whether they can learn knowledge. However, it is not a shameful thing for students to think about the future. Even if they want to engage in literature and art, they need to fill their stomachs first.
Of course, Rudinger only expressed hope. As for whether the two schools will launch strategic cooperation, there is still no certainty.
These matters need to be followed up by Zhang Zhong and Ludinger later.
…
Ludinger finally came to China with great difficulty, so naturally he could not go back after giving a speech at Shizhong College.
Their original plan was to stay at Shizhong College for one to two days, and then fly directly to Yanjing to conduct academic exchanges with several universities in Yanjing.
However, Zhang Zhong persuaded them to stay because this time they arrived by chance, coinciding with the opening of the Jiangyang Comprehensive Science and Technology Exhibition Hall.
Now that they are here, Zhang Zhong invited Ludinger to be the opening guest and cut the ribbon for the exhibition hall.
Hearing Zhang Zhong's invitation, Ludinger agreed very simply. He really wanted to see what this science and technology exhibition hall was like, and it was just a ribbon cutting, which would not take long and would not affect their trip to Yanjing.
Originally, the opening of the Science and Technology Exhibition Hall was supposed to be held on the weekend, but considering that too many people would come over the weekend and it would cause some confusion, it was finally decided to put the opening on Wednesday.
When the time was being discussed, the Jiangyang government was also involved.
The government is thinking of setting the time on the weekend so that there will be more people and it will be more lively. After all, this science and technology exhibition hall may become a landmark building in Jiangyang, so naturally the more lively it is, the better to make an appointment.
However, Zhang Zhong did not agree, because even if it was not held on weekends, it would definitely be lively enough.
