Training the Heavens

Chapter 75 The Leader is Coming (First Order)

That afternoon, cars kept driving into Pujiang College. Leaders from universities in Shanghai came to discuss the preparations for the "Second Classroom" achievement exhibition for all universities in Shanghai.

The president of Pujiang College personally took them to visit the school's largest auditorium, which was the only place that could barely accommodate so many colleges and universities setting up exhibitions at the same time. Then, due to the order of the booths, there was a big dispute among the colleges and universities.

Everyone wanted to be at the front, especially Fudan University and Jiaotong University. Neither of them wanted to put their booth behind their opponent. Fortunately, the auditorium was large enough and a large area was allocated to their left and right sides, so they could barely cope with it.

As the host, Pujiang University didn't worry about this. The schools were vying for prime locations, hoping their leaders would see their booths. Since the leaders were coming, they would undoubtedly see Pujiang University's booth, so a slightly further back position wouldn't matter.

Gao Jialin followed the principal from a distance the entire time, just listening but not saying anything. The leaders who came today were at least deputy directors, so how could he, a mere vice president of the student union, have the qualifications to speak?

However, after seeing off these leaders from other schools and when the teachers and students of our school gathered together for a meeting, Gao Jialin had another opportunity to show his abilities.

The school leaders set the general framework of the exhibition and began to solicit opinions from other participants. After the teachers finished speaking and several student leaders had finished their speeches, Gao Jialin raised his hand.

Upon seeing him, the principal immediately called his name and said, "Gao Jialin, your article published in Reference News can also be considered an outstanding achievement of our Pujiang College's 'Second Classroom' activity. We will display the newspaper in a prominent position at our school's booth!"

When he said this, the principal felt very happy. Other schools did not have such outstanding results. Posting this newspaper would increase his score in the eyes of the leaders.

After praising him, the principal signaled that he could speak. "I know you always have a lot of good ideas. What are your ideas this time? Tell us now."

"Thank you, Principal. I have benefited a lot from listening to the speeches you, leaders, teachers, and classmates just now. It has also given me a lot of inspiration!" Gao Jialin first said a lot of nice things politely, and then put forward his own plan.

His experience in organizing exhibitions is much richer than that in organizing evening parties, and he has received inspections from leaders more than once or twice. With such rich experience, he can see at a glance the shortcomings in the preparations of Pujiang College and other universities in Shanghai.

Then, based on these shortcomings and the current conditions, we can come up with a plan that will allow Pujiang College to stand out in front of the leaders.

"Just now, while visiting the auditorium, I heard leaders and student leaders from other universities talking about their own schools' exhibition plans. Their plans are certainly good, but they lack richness in form, mostly consisting of text and pictures!"

In fact, Pujiang College's plan also has similar problems. There is no way. The current material conditions are not sufficient, and everyone can't think of anything fancy. They can only draw a picture, post a few enlarged photos, and add some models at most. This is already very eye-catching.

However, although Pujiang College does not have advanced technologies such as three-dimensional projection and holographic imaging, it is not completely without them. It is just that they have not thought of using these things in the exhibition before.

Now Gao Jialin can help them break this mindset. "Dear leaders, teachers, and students, in my previous speech, I asked the teachers at our school to help me make some slides. I used the slides to tell the students about my experience of collecting folk songs in Guangdong, and they were very popular!" "So, can we also make slides of the results of our school's 'Second Classroom' activities so that the leaders can look at the slides while listening to the presentations from our school representatives?"

This method has become very popular in later generations. In fact, it is just a different carrier of PPT. Later generations' PPT is made with computer software and projected onto a large screen to explain to leaders. Now Gao Jialin just replaced PPT with slides made of photosensitive materials. There is no essential difference between the two.

"Slides?" The principal was stunned at first, then overjoyed. "Yes, this format is excellent. Some of our teachers already use slides in their classrooms. Using this as an exhibition will be a great opportunity to show the leadership how Pujiang College is actively exploring the integration of the latest scientific and technological achievements with daily teaching! It's like killing two birds with one stone!"

As he said, slides are not a very new technological achievement. Some teachers who pay more attention to technological changes have already used them, but no one has thought of using them in exhibitions.

"We were saying before that we were only concerned about taking care of our sister colleges, and the booth reserved for our school was really too small! Now the problem is solved. There is a small auditorium behind the auditorium. We can play the slides in the small auditorium, and we only need to leave a small number of the most eye-catching results on the booth in the auditorium!" Vice President Qiu Jianfeng, who is in charge of student affairs, was beaming. This is equivalent to expanding the Pujiang College booth by more than ten times.

"Let's go to the small auditorium later to try out the slideshow. If there's any problem, make adjustments now while there's still time!"

"This slideshow must be well-made. It must not only showcase as many of Pujiang College's achievements as possible, but also be beautiful and elegant!"

"This work must be kept confidential. We must not let other schools know about it, lest they come to us to borrow the auditorium."

The scene immediately became lively, and everyone enthusiastically participated in the discussion and expressed their opinions.

After the discussion, the principal called Gao Jialin's name again and said, "You were the one who proposed this plan. Comrade Zhang Changqing just said that your slides are very beautiful. Could you hurry up and make a few of them so that we can take a look?"

"No problem!" Gao Jialin agreed readily. He was very familiar with the job of making po-te. Looking across the entire Pujiang College, or even in the whole of Shanghai, no one understood this technology better than him.

As soon as the meeting was over, the school found various equipment and materials for him. Gao Jialin made several slides overnight. The principal and teachers were amazed when they saw them. Whether it was the typesetting, font or the overall layout, it subverted their inherent concept of slides. Gao Jialin simply made great use of this thing.

So the burden of producing all the slides naturally fell on Gao Jialin's shoulders. Every day, the principal would bring people to see the latest results and put forward suggestions for revisions.

After all the slides were completed and the time for the exhibition to open had arrived, Gao Jialin, together with the principal, teachers, and students, stood at the school gate to welcome the leaders.
