On the day of the opening of the joint exhibition between the two universities, the academic exchange forum was also officially launched.

The venue of the forum is in the academic lecture hall of Hongda University. Every afternoon, an expert and scholar from both Hongda University and Columbia University will give a themed speech, and then communicate with the invited industry scholars and students.

In order to expand its influence, all forum speeches are broadcast live on several of the most popular Internet platforms.

The academic lecture hall is very large, but the seats that can be accommodated are always limited. Except for the invited experts and scholars in the industry, all the seats to listen to the lectures are free, but they need to be applied in advance. For this reason, the Hongda University has specially developed A small program for appointments, which is only opened one week in advance of the event.

In this way, less than an hour after the opening of the reservation, the 500 seats on the first day were already sold out.

Xia Xiaoli didn't tell Qiao Yu that he grabbed a ticket for himself in advance, and it happened that the first day was Sunday, so he had time to listen.

Looking at the complete schedule, Qiao Yu's speech was on the last day, which happened to be next Sunday, and another expert on the same day as him was Jeremy Lin.

Qiao Yu was busy all day that day, Xia Xiaoli didn't go to make trouble for him, he did his homework in the morning, and Bai Zhu came over to deliver the meal as usual at noon, after eating, he went directly to the Hong University Academic Lecture Hall.

After scanning the reserved QR code to enter the arena, Xia Xiaoli found his seat number and sat down. He made an early reservation, and the seat number was at the front, just behind the two rows of invited expert seats.

The experts have not yet arrived, and the students who came to watch are entering the venue one after another, and the professional live broadcast team invited is adjusting the camera positions.

Xia Xiaoli saw Qiao Yu who was busy in a group, hanging a work card, directing the teachers and student volunteers of the School of Construction Engineering on and off the stage, and they would run over to ask him for his opinion if there was any problem in every link, and he made the decision They are all quick and decisive, and they are obviously the backbone of the entire working group.

Xia Xiaoli enjoyed watching it very much, and sighed to herself. Not only is she professional, but she even has such great organizational skills as a leader in organizing such a large-scale event.

He even took time out of his busy schedule to talk to Xia Xiaoli across two rows of experts: "Hey, how did you get in?"

Xia Xiaoli shook her phone, very proud: "I snatched the ticket!"

Qiao Yu smiled: "Why are you still grabbing tickets, just tell me."

"You're too busy!" After saying a few words, someone came to Qiao Yu again, and Xia Xiaoli hurriedly said, "Go get busy, Brother Qiao."

Everything on the podium was set up, and the live broadcasting organization gave Qiao Yu the OK gesture, and all the students who came to listen to the speech were present.

At this time, Columbia University's expert group entered the venue one after another, and the host introduced them one by one, and the audience burst into applause.

Lin Zhihua was the first one to walk in the delegation, sweeping away the chaos of last night, dressed very formally today, a double-breasted suit with double-breasted lapel collar, brooch cuff buttons, and hair done. There is an elite air about him, but if you look carefully, your eyes are gloomy.

As soon as he appeared, the students beside Xia Xiaoli were all excited, "Ah, that's Lin Zhihua!"

"Star architect! My God, I actually saw this deity!"

"I heard that his family background is very good. He is from an architectural family. He is also super talented. He has won the Pritzker Prize. He is simply the light of Chinese descent."

"I went to the United States last summer to visit the Qingshui House he designed. Really, I just want to say that everyone who studies architecture should visit it."

"You guys just say he's amazing, why do I just focus on his face?"

"Me too! He looks like a model. There are no extra lines on his face, so clean."

"Don't you all look at the figure? With this figure, I dare say that he doesn't have a trace of excess fat on his body."

"Shh, keep your voice down, sister!"

"Do you think there is anyone in Hongda who can compete with this Lin Zhihua? Why does it feel like he has stolen the limelight?"

"Wow, when you say this, are you pretending that Professor Qiao Yu, the Light of the Rainbow University, doesn't exist?"

"I'm sorry I'm not from Hongda University, where is this Professor Qiao Yu you mentioned?"

……

Xia Xiaoli's head swelled from the heated discussion and unstoppable applause, and hearing Qiao Yu's name made him prick up his ears especially.

Here, the Columbia University delegation just took their seats, and the Hong Kong University expert group also entered the venue. Qiao Yu and Zhou Yishen led the teachers to bow on the stage.

There was another round of discussions in the audience: "Look! The second person on the stage is Professor Qiao Yu from Hongda Construction Engineering!"

"How is it? It's no worse than that Professor Lin Zhihua, right?"

"It's not bad at the beginning and end. Professor Qiao obviously has a better temperament and demeanor. Being tall is an advantage, and his natural aura is much stronger."

"Didn't you listen to Professor Qiao's sharing session not long ago? Let me tell you, as long as you listen, I dare say that no matter whether you are a man or a woman, you will fall in love with him."

"Especially intellectual love! Isn't it? Professor Qiao is simply a heavenly dish for intellectual love!"

"Yes! A smart brain is the sexiest, no, it should be said, a man with a high IQ, who can stop it!"

……

What is this intellectual love that is mentioned frequently?

Before the speech started, Xia Xiaoli frantically searched the Internet on her mobile phone, "Intellectual love-attracted by other people's intelligence, sexual | impulse because of other people's high knowledge, plainly and vulgarly speaking, intellectual love means , you not only like him because he is smart, but you even want to throw him down."

In the boiling and restless academic report hall, Xia Xiaoli was stunned by the explanation he found, blushing, sexual|impulsive... He couldn't help but think of all the performances he had. He quickly covered his phone and looked up at the podium The person who went up to Yushu Linfeng, amidst the waves of applause, he inexplicably felt a strange feeling of shame and excitement.

Xia Xiaoli suddenly realized, as if she had finally found a support for her deviant feelings.

Fortunately, he has always regarded himself as a serious face control, and after a long time, it turns out that he likes not only other people's faces, but also other people's brains.

It turns out I'm still an intellectual!Thinking of this, Xia Xiaoli felt that she had become more advanced in an instant.

The hosts invited by the TV station were very professional. After the two famous school delegations were seated, they introduced one by one the domestic industry leaders who were specially invited to participate in the event-academicians, professors, experts and scholars in various sub-fields, each All of them are well-known names, the lineup of experts in this academic forum can be called luxurious, and the speech forum officially begins.

Xia Xiaoli calmed down in an instant. As the organizer and home court of Hongda University, Hongda Construction Engineering was the first to take the lead, and Zhou Yishen, the dean, gave the opening speech.

As the dean of a famous school and a senior in the industry, Zhou Yishen has always enjoyed a reputation for being pragmatic, and the theme of this speech also follows his usual style.

The old dean also dressed up specially today, with suits and leather shoes, gray hair and a burly body. He looked very stylish. The huge projection behind the podium fell, and the theme of his speech was presented-"China's 50 Years of Bridge Engineering Practice and Development".

The seemingly unremarkable topic selection is a complete and profound opportunity to use this precious exchange opportunity to let foreign experts understand the best topics of domestic bridge construction and development.

Xia Xiaoli listened very carefully. When I ran the bridge with Qiao Yu that time, I heard him briefly talk about the leaps in bridge technology after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The bridges on the Honghe River are almost living history. The time axis slowly unfolded, and Xia Xiaoli seemed to enter the river of time together, projecting rainbow flying frames one after another. Behind every technological innovation, there was a breakthrough and leap in the overall strength of the nation. He could hear his blood boiling.

The speech lasted for nearly an hour, and the audience gave the warmest applause after the end.

Next is half an hour of interaction time, first is the exchange and interaction of the expert seat, the old professor of the Columbia delegation with the same qualifications communicated with Dean Zhou, and then left time for the students present to ask questions, because it was the scene During the live broadcast, Xia Xiaoli looked at the number of viewers on a certain main promotion platform, and suddenly found that it had already exceeded [-]. He was shocked that such a professional academic forum could attract so many people. It seems that there are more online fans who care about science and technology than he imagined. Much more.

The host also initiated a wave of barrage interaction on the spot, and asked Dean Zhou to answer questions. I asked the Chinese members where the live broadcast was, and why there were so many people watching it, and why it was so active.

After Zhou Yishen's speech, the next one was an old professor who was an associate dean of Columbia University, and there was a 15-minute break in between.

Some of the students around were bold enough to gather around the teacher to ask questions, some went out to drink water and go to the bathroom, Xia Xiaoli looked around, and someone came to Qiao Yu in such a short time, and he hurriedly followed them out of the lecture hall.

Xia Xiaoli was about to go out to buy a bottle of water when someone called his name diagonally in front of him. When he saw that it was Lin Zhihua, he even waved to him to let him go.
