intellectual norms

On the morning of the first day of school in September, Zhou Yishen introduced Qiao Yu grandly to everyone at the staff meeting of Hongda Construction Engineering College.

Announced his dual identity as the vice president of the college and the vice president of the Design Institute, as well as teaching professional courses for juniors and seniors of the Department of Bridge Engineering. In fact, most of the teachers are also in the same industry, and they have long known Qiao Yu's reputation and resume , his parents have also taught at Hongda University for many years, so they can be regarded as direct descendants, so although he is a newcomer, everyone is not unfamiliar with him.

Qiao Yu also made a brief speech about why he decided to return to China for development, as well as his insights into the development of the construction industry in China in recent years, and finally hoped to work side by side with all colleagues in the future.

Engineering people are all about hard work, especially under the leadership of Zhou Yishen in Hongda Construction Engineering. Qiao Yu has only been in the design institute for a month and feels very comfortable with the atmosphere here.

At the staff meeting, he also felt everyone's enthusiasm and an invisible but always-present spirit of hard work, which is very good.

Following Zhou Yishen, he listed some key tasks of the college for the next six months, as well as the person in charge of each task.

At the top of the list is the academic exchange activity jointly carried out with the Department of Architecture and Bridges of Columbia University. This is the first collision between the top majors of two top universities at home and abroad. Zhou Yishen requested that this activity not only have sufficient professionalism, but also have a wide range of activities. Sexuality, that is, people outside the professional circle will pay attention to it, and it is best to cause repercussions from the outside world.

The leader of Hongda is naturally Qiao Yu, and the contact person has been changed to Chen Ke. The activity plan written by him and Qiao Yu has been approved by Hongda's internal side last week and sent to Columbia University. Now wait for that For feedback from both sides, it is estimated that there will be a formal video discussion meeting for all project team members on both sides in the near future.

After the staff meeting ended, Chen Ke followed Qiao Yu into his office, closed the door, and said, "I think I have to tell you something."

"What?" Seeing his slightly guilty and dog-legged expression, Qiao Yu smiled at him and said, "When I sent the activity plan to Lin Zhihua, he still remembered me and talked with me after work. something else."

It's been a week, why didn't you say it at that time?Qiao Yu asked him, "Did you say something you shouldn't have said?"

Chen Ke raised his palms at him, as if swearing: "Let me tell you first, everything I said is for your own good, and the actual effect should be the same, so no matter what I say, don't get angry first."

Qiao Yu gave him a gentle smile: "I'm not angry, when have you ever seen me angry?"

It is true that Professor Qiao Da's psychological endurance is extraordinary, and it is also because many things are not in his focus at all. Chen Ke feels that this "focus" should not include Lin Zhihua now.

He said: "Lin Zhihua could see that I was dissatisfied with the matchmaking, but after all, I don't know me well, and it's not easy to lash out in person, so he kept asking me why you didn't do matchmaking with him, why did you change people. "

"He's probably used to being flattered, and he's used to the people around him following him. His questioning was really aggressive, which made me very uncomfortable, so I said that you don't do matchmaking because you want to avoid suspicion, and then he bombarded me. It’s over, ask me if there is someone around you already.”

"At that time, I wanted to stimulate him, so I just followed his words and said yes, Lao Qiao now has a new boyfriend, who is handsome, well-behaved and young, and the relationship between the two is very good, and they are already living together. Even the parents have met..."

Qiao Yu was stunned, and Xia Xiaoli's image involuntarily popped up in his mind. He took out his mobile phone. It has been a week since the incident, but the mobile phone did not receive any angry questions from Lin Zhihua.

Whats is blocked, Lin Zhihua doesn't have Qiao Yu's domestic phone number, and he doesn't use WeChat, FB Qiao Yu has already uninstalled, and he doesn't continue to use the US mailbox, so it is not too difficult to block a person's news.

Although Chen Ke didn't do it properly, Qiao Yu patted him on the shoulder: "Very good, it's more credible if you say it from your mouth than I say."

In the last phone call with Lin Zhihua, Qiao Yu didn't forget what the other party said, but he didn't want to remember either, he just wanted to quickly turn to the page.

Chen Ke is right, having a new lover, no matter it is true or not, is the best way to make the other party give up quickly.

He just hoped that Lin Zhihua was a normal adult, so he could get together and part ways.

"It is estimated that there will be a general video conference in the next two days. You can keep an eye on Columbia University and remind them. We will have to do a lot of follow-up preparations. It will be too late." Qiao Yu said.

"Okay, school starts on both sides, and it's easy to do things when everyone is ready." Chen Ke got up, saw what Qiao Yu was standing at the window looking out, and he also leaned over: "What are you looking at?"

Qiao Yu pushed him: "It's nothing, go to work."

"Hey, look at the teaching building of the attached middle school. Are you nostalgic? Speaking of which year we went to school, it was there, which floor was it, the fourth floor, right? I almost don't remember it. I really miss it when I say it." Chen Ke nagging a little emotional.

The attached middle school also officially started school today, without even formality. Everything was already on track during the summer vacation, and the third year of senior high school started formal classes from the first day.

At this time, the get out of class bell rang over there, and the classrooms on the third and fourth floors began short recess activities. In one of the classrooms, someone poked his head out and looked up desperately, and then waved desperately at Qiao Yu, even with a smile on his face. All can see.

Chen Ke was stunned, isn't this Xia Xiaoli?Can he see Qiao Yu standing by the window from the classroom?

Qiao Yu seemed to be used to it, and waved at Xia Xiaoli, with a faint smile on his face.

"Damn, don't tell me you're standing here waiting for that kid to finish class, playing with him and sending you lovesickness?" Chen Ke was solidly startled, a man in his thirties just playing with innocence?Qiao Yu? ?

This is not the first time, is it? ! !

The child stretched by the classroom window, shook his head, talked to the classmates next to him, looked up from time to time, with a smile on his face, and was in good spirits.

After a while, the class bell rang, Xia Xiaoli waved her hand again, shrank her head and sat back, and began to attend class seriously.

Qiao Yu also left the window and returned to the desk, leaving Chen Ke stunned.

"Are you serious, Old Qiao?" Chen Ke asked in disbelief while supporting his desk.

"It's real or not, just say hello when you see it, don't make any fuss." Qiao Yu calmed down.

"All right, all right, I really have you." Chen Ke sighed again and again: "Professor, this is an old tree that has sprouted and rejuvenated?"

Qiao Yu frowned, and was about to say something, when Chen Ke waved her hand: "Stop talking, I know you're going to deny it again, but let me tell you, you'll have to wait until he grows up and graduates from high school, so don't be too scumbag. "

As usual, Qiao Yu didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, and just kicked him out, but this time he just said softly, "Understood."

He suddenly raised his head and asked, "You are so nervous, have you ever suffered from minors?"

Chen Ke laughed awkwardly, and Ma slipped away.

It took another week for Columbia University to confirm the time of the project's video conference. It was Hongda's side to accommodate the time difference there, and the meeting time was set in the evening in China and the morning in the other side.

Zhou Yishen, who participated in the meeting from Hongda Construction Engineering, led Qiao Yu, Chen Ke, and two other teachers from the Department of Architecture and Bridge. Qiao Yu asked Cheng Yu to take the meeting minutes.

There was almost the same number of people at Columbia University. Qiao Yu and the others were all in the conference room of the design institute. The video was connected to the projection. When he turned it on, Qiao Yu saw that the opposite was full of acquaintances, and he felt nostalgic and happy.

Everyone has met on the Internet for several rounds, and this is the first time they have met each other. Qiao Yu acts as a middleman and introduces each other and his own people one by one. Let's exchange pleasantries and start to enter the formal topic.

This was the first time he saw Lin Zhihua after returning to China. He seemed to be a little thinner, and his wheat-colored skin was getting darker. This is his habit, and he would tan every summer to a chocolate color.

Qiao Yu confirmed it briefly, and when they met again in the video, he felt calm.

Everyone on the opposite side looked relaxed and smiling, but Lin Zhihua's expression was cold, his brows were slightly frowned, and he kept staring closely at Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu ignored these, went through the activity plan with them one by one, and stopped to discuss with them if there was any disagreement.

This academic exchange event takes Hongda University as the main venue. The overall activity is divided into three major sections. One is the joint exhibition of the two sides on building bridges, and the other is the academic forum. It will last for a week. Different expert representatives from both sides will give keynote speeches every day. Many peers in the circle will be invited, as well as students of the same major in domestic universities, who can come to listen and interact with questions. At the same time, they plan to cooperate with the live broadcast platform to open a homepage topic on the platform and live broadcast the whole process.

The last section is a more open and popular part. In recent years, domestic cultural variety shows have flourished. Various programs such as national style poetry, classics and old papers, treasures and cultural relics have emerged in an endless stream, and they are very popular among young people.

Zhou Yishen specifically requested that this event also be able to go out of the circle. It is not enough to only communicate within the circle. The more vertically subdivided the subject is, the more it needs to be popularized to the public and young people, so that more people can understand it and let more people know about it. Many young people are willing to devote themselves to it, which is the cornerstone of a discipline's long-term prosperity.

So Qiao Yu asked Cheng Yu to do a small research for him, recommending a group of cultural variety shows that young people like, and after screening, he initially locked in a very popular construction variety show - "Tiangong Kaiwu" .

This is a small round table interview variety show. Part of the reason for the popularity of the show is due to a very good host. He graduated from the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University and has won many architectural design awards at home and abroad. He is also very eloquent. Then he decided to make a Construction programs for the general public.

Thanks to his professional identity, he understands all kinds of construction projects such as buildings and bridges, and has excellent aesthetics. This program uses the most acceptable aesthetics as the starting point to analyze various construction works around the world. There are masterpieces, There are also works that are widely criticized as pretending to be gods and ghosts, and they have great powers. Relying on the advertising sponsorship with strong financial resources, designers and engineers of these works can be invited to appear on the program. In addition to interviews, there will be many impromptu interactions in the program format. , deliberately "make things difficult" for the guests, let them design something impromptu, PK each other, barrage voting, etc., young people like it very much.

The communication on the previous matters is almost the same. When it comes to this part, because the number of people on the program is limited, both sides can only produce one scholar and expert. This candidate must also be determined in advance, because a lot of information and materials must be prepared in advance for the production of the program. The host It is also necessary to understand and communicate with the guests in advance.

According to Qiao Yu's thinking, it must be the most senior celebrities from both sides who will be on the show. Zhou Yishen is on their side, and the dean of Columbia University is also on the other side.

But Zhou Yishen obviously didn't think so. He suggested: "The world belongs to young people after all. For this kind of program, we should choose the most star-like designers in our industry. Only in this way can young people yearn for this industry. It’s all old people like us who go to the show, young people see it, oh, this job is so hard, and doing this job will make you so dark and wrinkled, and they are scared away.”

As soon as the words came out, everyone present laughed. Zhou Yishen spoke directly and down-to-earth. He didn't go around and said directly: "I think the most suitable one for us is Qiao Yu. As for your brother, you can also choose one." The most handsome one, come on the show with our teacher Qiao."

Qiao Yu secretly thought that something was wrong, and sure enough, a group of old colleagues from Columbia pushed Lin Zhihua out: "There is no one more famous than Jeremy!"

At this moment, a smile finally appeared on Lin Zhihua's face, with wheat skin and white teeth, he curled his mouth at Qiao Yu, his eyes seemed to say: "Look, I'm the best match for you."
