Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 334 Top Carrot Pit

The door of the Beijing University Auditorium was opened and even the red carpet was rolled out.

Through the open door of the auditorium, one can directly see the school leaders, Tian Gang, Xu Chongren and others standing on the stage waiting for Xu Qingshan.

"Wasn't it supposed to be a small graduation ceremony? Why is it such a big deal?"

Xu Qingshan slightly turned his head and complained to Chen Dayue beside him. Zhang Jincai on the other side looked very excited. Because he had been too busy recently, he had dark circles under his eyes. But because today was an important day for Xu Qingshan, as the pioneer who personally got Xu Qingshan into Peking University, he naturally felt very involved.

"After all, it's you. If the scene isn't big, even Principal Zhou won't be able to hold his head up."

Chen Dayue had a playful smile on his face, and even a suit couldn't conceal his subtle temperament.

"Okay, we'll just go this far. He has to walk the last part by himself."

Zhang Jincai was excited but sober. When he reached the door, he grabbed Chen Dayue and ran, leaving Xu Qingshan alone to step onto the red carpet to go on stage.

Until Xu Qingshan came onto the stage and stood next to Zhou Qifeng, his family members also took their seats one after another.

Although it was small, there were quite a few people present, and the school security team was there to maintain order inside the auditorium.

Xu Qingshan stood on the stage.

The lights in the auditorium were a little dazzling, and the big lights beside the stage were also a little glaring. He looked at his relatives and friends in the audience, as well as those unfamiliar but clear faces.

He just felt a little dazed.

It was just like that night when I was standing at the crossroads in Shanghai, staring straight at this light.

But the difference is.

His eyes slowly adapted to this kind of light, and all existence solidified from vague illusions into reality, just like the thoughts that had been hanging in the air for various reasons from time to time landed in the safe house.

"Student Xu Qingshan, congratulations on successfully completing your studies. Even though your experience is a legend as brilliant as fireworks to us."

Zhou Qifeng turned slightly sideways, holding the microphone in his hand, and spoke loudly.

“Today’s graduation ceremony may be a little special, but it also indicates that your life will enter a new chapter. On behalf of all the teachers, students and staff of the school, I would like to express my warmest congratulations to you! I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks to your family and teachers!”

Xu Qingshan also turned his head, smiling warmly, and listened to President Zhou's graduation speech on behalf of Peking University.

Zhou Qifeng's speech was a bit long, but Xu Qingshan still listened very attentively.

Because at other people's graduation ceremonies, the president would talk about what he hoped everyone would do in the future, but at his graduation ceremonies, the president's specific graduation speech was almost all about recounting in different ways the contributions Xu Qingshan had made to Peking University in less than a year and his legendary glorious deeds.

He talked about the twin prime conjecture alone for more than a minute.

It was not until the radiant Zhou Qifeng gave an impromptu speech for about five minutes that he made the final conclusion.

"You are broad-minded, elegant and upright, you integrate knowledge and practice, and you look to the stars for guidance. You will have a smooth road ahead and will always be the pride of Beijing University!"

After Zhou Qifeng finished speaking, the etiquette officer beside him came forward holding a certificate on a red tray.

Xu Qingshan was wearing a black bachelor's gown and a square hat with tassels. The edge of the gray drape had a hood with a peony pattern on it, which covered his shoulders.

At this moment, many cameras in the audience were aimed at Xu Qingshan.

"Now, on behalf of Jingcheng University, I will confer upon you a Bachelor of Science degree from Jingcheng University, thus bringing your short but brilliant undergraduate career to a perfect end."

Zhou Qifeng took the certificate from the plate with both hands and handed it to Xu Qingshan.

The two of them had to hold the certificate together for a while so that the cameras in the audience could record it, and also so that the audience had time to use their own cameras and mobile phones to record this special moment.

"Next, we invite Dean Xu Chongren of Peking University Yuanpei College to present a bouquet of flowers to Xu Qingshan, representing the sincere blessings and expectations of all the teachers and students of Yuanpei College for Xu Qingshan. We also invite Academician Tian Gang of Peking University School of Mathematics to present Xu Qingshan with the Peking University direct doctoral admission letter."

Before Xu Qingshan put away the certificate, Zhou Qifeng couldn't wait to announce such happy event.

In public and in full view of everyone, the news of Xu Qingshan's "contract renewal" with Peking University was announced.

The appeal of Peking University among young students will definitely be improved. It will be pleasing to superiors and popular among subordinates. When President Zhou was discussing these arrangements in a meeting before his arrival, he almost smiled to his death.

"Next, come on."

Xu Chongren smiled and handed a bunch of white lilies to Xu Qingshan's arms, patted his shoulder, and without saying anything more, left the stage and sat back in his seat.

"Welcome to Kyoto University again."

Tian Gang walked up to Xu Qingshan with a beaming smile and hugged him. He then held up the specially made doctoral admission letter in his hand and handed it to Xu Qingshan facing the camera.

"I can hardly hold this in my hands. The principal is really calculating."

Xu Qingshan knew what Peking University was thinking, but he accepted it with a smile. Personally, he actually admired Peking University's approach of grabbing talent.

After all, if even Huaqing University and Peking University cannot retain talents, then which other university can retain talents?

"Wait, there's a little surprise waiting for you."

Tian Gang finished speaking with a grin, and did not leave the stage like Xu Chongren, but stood on the left and right of Xu Qingshan with Zhou Qifeng. This was something he had fought for, to stand with his favorite student, even though to some extent he was stealing Lao Chen's glory.

But if Lao Chen really stood up at this time, he would probably feel embarrassed.

After the group photo session, Zhou Qifeng pinned the tassels on Xu Qingshan's head.

Originally, Xu Qingshan thought that he would just give a brief speech and the graduation ceremony would be over, but Zhou Qifeng took out another document from somewhere and held it in his hand.

"Before Xu Qingshan gives his graduation speech, I would like to insert a small advertisement here."

Zhou Qifeng's sudden action caused a commotion in the audience.

Although this graduation ceremony is very special, it shouldn't be so informal, right? Wasn't everything fine just now?
"Beijing University is the first national comprehensive university in my country. It has the most comprehensive disciplines in the country. Its comprehensive competitiveness has always been ranked first among domestic universities. In addition to the humanities and social sciences, which are well-known both at home and abroad, its science and engineering disciplines also have a long history and profound accumulation. China's first mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science, and intelligent science and technology majors were all born here."

Just when everyone thought that Zhou Qifeng thought Xu Qingshan's graduation ceremony would be spread on the Internet and wanted to promote Capital University in this way, they never expected that President Zhou Qifeng would slam on the brakes afterwards.

"We at Jingcheng University have always been committed to becoming a world-class scientific university, especially with a large investment in basic research. Currently, researchers in the School of Mathematics, School of Information Technology, School of Physics, etc. have implemented a teaching and research series appointment system and a full-time scientific research personnel appointment system that are in line with international standards. We are now recruiting outstanding young academic leaders in the field of basic science from around the world."

Not only were the people in the audience confused, but the people on the stage, except Tian Gang, Zhou Qifeng, and Vice President Lao Qian who was in charge of personnel, all other school leaders were confused.

Principal Zhou has started recruiting here?

However, normally, there is the concept of academic leader and the concept of outstanding young scholars, but what does the compound prefix "outstanding young academic leader" mean?
You should know that applicants who can be called academic leaders should generally be tenured professors or above or equivalent positions in world-class universities or research institutes, have world-class academic level and academic influence, have significant outputs in related fields in the past decade, and are generally required to be under 60 years old, but basically most of them are over 40 or even 50 years old.

For all academic leaders, the school will match them with top-level salaries, systematic team building, stable scientific research funds, and suitable and independent scientific research sites.

The positioning of outstanding young scholars is young scholars under the age of 35 who have obtained a doctoral degree from a world-class university or research institute, have academic potential and outstanding achievements in their field. The target is potential.

The title of outstanding young academic leader clearly requires both strength and potential.

"Due to the changes in the current international scientific research situation, Kyoto University will also keep pace with the times. Therefore, we do not require applicants to be tenured professors. We only require positions above assistant researcher, world-class academic level, and top-level achievements in the field with extremely high gold content. The age should not exceed 20 years old. If they are really outstanding, the age requirement can be relaxed to 30 years old. In addition, in terms of research field, we hope that applicants can have both basic scientific research strength and multi-field and compound research potential."

"Kyoto University will create unique salary conditions, team building, and the highest amount of scientific research funds and research sites for them!"

"Outstanding young academic leaders, Peking University is recruiting without limit!"

"Globally, open recruitment, fair competition!"

If Zhou Qifeng had brought up this idea on other occasions, everyone would have said he was dreaming.

Even if he was the president of Kyoto University, everyone would just think he was crazy.

But this was at Xu Qingshan’s graduation ceremony.

As soon as he put forward these conditions, he just stopped short of naming Xu Qingshan.

Even Xu Qingshan, who was standing next to him, was speechless for a moment.

Xu Qingshan found it very strange that Zhou Qifeng was introducing Peking University in such an abstract way in his own Peking University auditorium just now. However, looking at the cameras in the audience, he could understand it to some extent.

But now, a position is being announced right next to me, and only I am qualified for it. It is also being announced globally, and it allows fair competition.

Listen, is this human language?

The only thing missing is having the three words "LuoBoKeng" written on his face.

But Xu Qingshan thought about it for a moment and understood.

Zhou Qifeng's behavior was actually to use his piece of jade to see if he could catch some more unpolished jade. At least at this time, he was considered a shining star in the international scientific research community.

If we only look at the domestic environment, Zhou Qifeng's behavior is undoubtedly like taking off his pants to fart.

But if this matter is put into an international context, then Peking University will really become a hot topic in the academic world along with Xu Qingshan.

as predicted.

After Zhou Qifeng finished speaking, he repeated it again in fluent English facing the camera, and then let Xu Qingshan give his graduation speech.

Take Zhou Qifeng’s approach.

This is most likely a reasonable clickbait in the scientific research community. When researchers see that Beijing University in China has proposed such outrageous recruitment conditions, they may initially read the specific content with an attitude of watching the fun and mocking it.

Then I saw that this recruitment was announced at Xu Qingshan’s graduation ceremony.

Hey, these outrageous recruitment conditions suddenly seem reasonable.

Moreover, this also directly sends a signal to the outside world, quietly establishing an international image, that is, China's Beijing University is keen on and welcomes young, outstanding and top scholars from around the world to join.

Now that the brand has been put up, it just depends on whether any foreigners will be fooled.

Xu Qingshan put the things on the podium and pulled the microphone up himself.

"It's finally my turn to speak."

As soon as Xu Qingshan opened his mouth, he tried to adjust the atmosphere that Zhou Qifeng had just stirred up. With this sudden remark, everyone in the audience started laughing.

"First of all, let me go through the process. I am very grateful to Kyoto University for hosting this graduation ceremony for me. I am also grateful to my family, teachers, and friends for coming to attend the only undergraduate graduation ceremony in my life. For those who didn't come, don't worry, I still have a doctoral degree."

Xu Qingshan said this and raised the live broadcast admission letter in his hand.

There was another round of good-natured laughter from the audience.

"Principal Zhou has already said what I wanted to say. I would like to thank Principal Zhou for being my mouthpiece. I just want to add a few more points."

“First, graduation is an end, but also a beginning. My journey at Kyoto University is not over yet. I am looking forward to my future studies and research life. I also hope that I can make greater contributions to Kyoto University, society, and our motherland.”

"Second, those who like me are welcome to apply to Kyoto University because they can meet me. Those who don't like me are also welcome to come to Kyoto University because they can challenge me."

"Third, I want to support the president. Can the outstanding young academic leader just now take me with him? Can I apply for the position on the spot?"

"Of course! We hire directly on the spot!"

As soon as Xu Qingshan finished speaking, Zhou Qifeng laughed and took out another letter of appointment from behind him. He even ran in front of the camera and shook it before handing it to Xu Qingshan.

Xu Qingshan took the letter of appointment and was about to open it, but Zhou Qifeng held his hand.

Even though there was a microphone in front of him, Zhou Qifeng pretended to speak in a low voice.

"Don't open it yet. Your name is written inside. Wouldn't it be exposed if you open it?"

Two distinguished persons on the stage were performing a comedy in a serious manner, and the people below were watching with great delight.

Xu Qingshan had never thought that his graduation ceremony would be so contrasting, but he didn't hate it, he even enjoyed it.

No surprises.

It was less than three days after Xu Qingshan's graduation ceremony.

The complete graduation ceremony video quickly became popular on the Internet, and some people have even translated it into multiple languages ​​and posted it on foreign social networking sites.

even.

The interaction between Xu Qingshan and Zhou Qifeng, as well as the advertisement for the top-notch carrot pit, became popular abroad faster than the domestic siren, and also spawned another topic.

That is, how many young scholars in the world today can be compared with Xu Qingshan in terms of academic achievements and academic potential?

The answer to this topic was a bit difficult, so much so that, after a few days, the scope was changed from "all over the world" to "historically."
