Section 3
The child said, "What happened?"
She can now be certain that her experience in studying medicine is something Gu Pingsheng would prefer not to discuss
Tong Yan took a sip of water and quietly turned her head to look at Gu Ping Sheng
On stage, the school's renowned folk music prodigy is singing "My Motherland"
Gu Pingsheng nodded: "Yes, what a coincidence, she is taking my class this semester"
"The third best medical school in the United States..." Zhou Qingchen's face turned red, looking as if he was about to meet his idol. "You, with your ignorance, cannot comprehend this. Innocent as a child, do you know how difficult it is to get into the University of Pennsylvania Medical School? In order to find a way to save my country, I have to first study some useless law to get a green card before I can enter medical school... Hurry, let me talk to my future senior, a future alumnus at that."
Amidst the rich fragrance of laundry detergent, six washing machines are operating at high speed
My mother, at that time, was a surgeon at Concorde," he said, rarely looking at her, only turning his head to look at the stage, "I went to intern back then, actually just to accompany her.
It is you
After a while, Tong Yan suddenly thought of something and tapped his arm
The evening breeze is gentle, and the crowd is filled with bursts of sly laughter
She had finally managed to free herself from the torment of Du Banpai, but unexpectedly, just five weeks into the new semester, she returned smoothly.
The uniqueness of Gu Pingsheng makes them always feel that they are being forced into a difficult situation. If the two hosts have already had several weeks of interaction, it is undoubtedly a stroke of good fortune, intentionally bringing them together.
Many third-year student leaders laughed maliciously upon seeing Tong Yan, saying: "Tong Yan is unrestrained in speech. I told you, our student council president, Lord Zhou Qingchen, will not let you off. How about that? You're back, aren't you?"
I have finished speaking, Amy was very pleased that Tong Yan did not refuse, the first meeting will be held tonight at 5 o'clock in the auditorium, it is said that your Gu Meiren has just arrived in Shanghai, what a coincidence
"How is that impossible?" Amy laughed like a blooming flower, "Don't forget that our newly appointed principal is famously unconventional. Isn't it true that he even chatted anonymously with students on the BBS? A mere law school teacher, of course, can be sacrificed..."
"Tong Yan." The interior space was quite empty, and this name echoed continuously once it was called out. Tong Yan hurriedly walked down along the rows of seats, all the way to the stage: "Teacher Du."
... ...
After she finished speaking, as if she thought of something, she immediately flipped through the evening party agenda
Indeed, Amy did not wait for her to respond and began to chatter on: "The good news is that this time the welcome party will have an open vote at the school, and the male host with the highest support is from your college..." She deliberately elongated her voice, and the few girls standing in the laundry room perked up their ears, hearing the exhilarating three words, "Gu Meiren"
I attended a party at the School of Medicine at Binfa University, not a school anniversary," Gu Pingsheng said while looking at her, "but it was a long time ago, back when I was a graduate student at the School of Medicine. However, it wasn't quite like this...
For instance, during her first time on stage, she mispronounced words, the microphone malfunctioned, and the audience burst into laughter... The most frustrating part was when she accidentally knocked over the backdrop of the performance.
Child's words! Outside the glass window, Amy grasped the iron railing with both hands, excitedly calling to her, "One good news and two bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Due to it being an internal meeting of the program team and also in the rehearsal stage, the lighting in the venue was dim. There were only about twenty students in the audience, yet unexpectedly, quite a few teachers were present. As soon as she entered through the back door, she saw Gu Pingsheng standing among several teachers, still dressed in a simple white shirt and warm brown casual pants. Because she was at a distance, she could not clearly see his features or expression.
Such a high-profile event is an enormous opportunity for the average person, providing an additional chance to secure a direct admission quota. However, for her, it means completely exhausting all her spare time, constantly rehearsing, continuously revising scripts, and facing various unexpected pressures on site
Poor Teacher Gu
She entered the grand auditorium with a long face
Tong Yan was tidying up her things while listening to Shen Yao recount how she went on a self-driving trip to Qinghai with a group of spendthrifts
He did not look at her again, which politely concluded the topic.
The child suddenly found it profound
three scoops, four scoops
But since we are standing here, it is pointless to say anything further
"Hmm." Tong Yan began to pour the laundry detergent.
As a result, she and Gu Pingsheng, as hosts, could only remain directly and begin evaluating the performances of various clubs and private groups. The two of them sat in the last row, gazing at the stage.
"Has Teacher Gu ever hosted before?" She instinctively found a topic to discuss
When I returned to school, the dormitory was empty.
She unconsciously added to the fifth spoonful, only then did she awaken from her dreamlike state
All the students and teachers behind the two individuals displayed expressions of relief.
The child's laughter seemed somewhat forced; in a class of nineteen, ranking ninth every time at the end of the term, can one be considered a high achiever
The two characters 'sacrifice' are described by Amy as a winding journey filled with twists and turns
During the seven days, she traveled back and forth between Beijing and Shanghai, and so did Teacher Gu. They had a brief exchange in Beijing, and then he returned here, still standing as the teacher on the podium, while she remained the student troubled by the daunting subject of physics
"There are so many rules and regulations, right?" Tong Yan understood his meaning, "Yes, it's quite troublesome. The school-level evening gala is getting bigger and bigger; I feel like it's becoming just like the Spring Festival Gala."
In such a setting, it is no wonder that one can attract teachers of a high caliber
Gu Pingsheng happened to turn around and saw the student leaving in disappointment: "Does he need us to do anything?"
The child lowered his head and continued to flip through the evening party program, looking for a long time without remembering a single word
The child exclaimed, "He is a teacher, how could he possibly host the welcome party?"
Gu Ping Sheng also found it amusing: "If you don't want to read, you can just hand it all over to me"
Gu Ping Sheng nodded, looking at her calmly: "Very good, thank you"
It seems that this student council president is studying medicine? It appears so
"Therefore, for the sake of your hosting career, the last piece of bad news is that you cannot participate in the play rehearsals," Amy sighed deeply, "Yanyan, I am sorry for you; you cannot personally take part in the play you wrote..."
Tong Yan stood all night again last night, feeling utterly exhausted. Upon hearing this, there was only one impulse: to dump the entire basin of dirty clothes on Amy's head. Having known her for two years, it seemed that whenever Amy appeared, whether it was 'good news' or 'bad news', it could only be unfortunate news for her
Where is the bad news?" She saw a washing machine that had stopped running, hurriedly opened the lid, moved someone else's clothes to a nearby empty basin, and began to stuff her own dirty clothes in.
The weather in Shanghai is humid; she has only been away for seven days, yet the clothes in the wardrobe seem as if they have been soaked in water. In the end, with no other choice, she had to throw them all into a plastic bucket and went to the laundry room
The teacher in charge of the student council, known as Du Banpai, always acts and speaks a beat slower than everyone else
"Child's words," Zhou Qingchen, who had appeared at some point, suddenly called out to her: "I must have misheard, right? Teacher Gu studied medicine at Binfa?"
She turned her head sadly and said, "Indeed, it is the Spring Festival Gala. We will read the congratulatory messages from alumni around the world..." In her mind, she could even picture that night when she read these messages, with several girls in the dormitory laughing together in the audience.
Tong Yan looked at Gu Pingsheng, and before she could greet him, she heard Du Banpai say to Gu Pingsheng: "This is the female host we have trained over the past two years, with very rich experience, and she is also a top student from the law school"
The auditorium is divided into two levels and can accommodate three thousand five hundred people
Should I host or not? Should I help Teacher Gu...
She cannot imagine what would happen if Teacher Gu could not hear and encountered these situations
"Child's words," Du Banpai personally opened a bottle of mineral water for her and handed it to her, "Originally, such a gala would definitely require a professional host, but the principal's intention is to be approachable, so the concert and alumni gathering will be handled by professional hosts, while the gala will still be led by students, which holds more commemorative significance"
She immediately responded: "Teacher Gu, long time no see, how was your holiday?"
Even from a great distance, one can discern from the details of her movements how hard she is singing
The child shook his head, remained silent, and after a while, nodded again
Indeed, that is why the esteemed Chairman has asked me to assist you in this matter. You have hosted the New Year's welcome party, the Youth Style Competition, and the Christmas party, making you the most experienced. Moreover, "Amy looks at her with a hint of sorrow, "You know, a host must be able to handle various unfortunate incidents on the spot. Would you really be so heartless as to choose a novice and put Gu Meiren in an awkward position?"
The organizers are having a meeting inside, while those performing in the show are all waiting for the rehearsal
In light of the uniqueness of this year, the student council has decided to merge the welcome party for new students with the anniversary celebration party
One spoon, two spoons, that should be about enough
Although it is a welcome party for new students and not very professional, being a host is still quite troublesome
He merely smiled and said, "I know, she is my student"
The child clearly understands that he has completely boarded a pirate ship
She was taken aback for half a second, then immediately sat up straight, deliberately putting distance between them: "I warn you, Zhou Qingchen, do not harass my teacher"
Upon hearing this statement, Du Banpai suddenly realized: "Ah, right, Teacher Gu is a professor at the Law School, and coincidentally, he is teaching Tong Yan this semester"
I resigned from the student council after completing my second year of university
Due to the uniqueness of Gu Meiren, the Student Union Art Center has decided to select a seasoned host who can also collaborate well with Gu Meiren
I am going to die
The washing machine began to fill with water automatically, the sound of rushing water disrupting her thoughts
However, her impression of Pennsylvania is limited to what Shen Yao mentions daily about some business school
The innocent words of a child: "No, he just came over to ask us if we wanted to order boxed meals"
Later, after listening to Du Banpai's explanation, Tong Yan finally understood why Gu Pingsheng was willing to agree. This year marks the 110th anniversary of the school's founding, and the school will hold a gala, a concert, and a grand gathering of outstanding alumni.
Unconsciously, one cannot help but pay attention to him
She is completely preoccupied with the matters of hosting the evening event and has no mind to attend to anything related to the play
She has never had any interest in the quota for direct doctoral programs.
The goal of attending university is to graduate smoothly, quickly find a job, and then truly become independent in supporting a family
She had just opened her suitcase when Shen Yao burst in. She had actually cut her long hair short and stood before Tong Yan with a spirited demeanor: "I just returned from a self-driving trip and met quite a few people on the car forum. I went to the grasslands to stargaze. Tong Yan," she said with a squint and a smile, "lying on the roof of the off-road vehicle to watch the stars, it really feels amazing"
When she saw Gu Pingsheng turn his head and quietly look at her, she hesitated... but still couldn't help but ask: "Teacher Gu, why did you come to intern in Beijing after studying medicine at Binfa?"
She smiled gratefully and continued to focus on studying the event schedule
When she arrived at the auditorium in the evening, there were already quite a few people gathered at the entrance. Various school clubs, all of which had performances at the welcome party, were chatting at the entrance or in the lobby.
Apart from the reviewers in the first row and the actors on stage, the entire auditorium of three thousand five hundred people is empty
Then, unexpectedly, I collided with his gaze
Therefore, it was imperative not to allow Zhou Qingchen to ask any questions that might evoke his memories. Thus, one minute after the protective instinct of childhood had surfaced, Zhou Qingchen was finally sent away
