Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 418 - 259: This Is the Flavor, It’s Simply Wonderful
Jiang University School of Life Sciences, Third Floor Conference Room.
Due to the varied arrival times of experts, professors, and researchers from various universities, the first Biological Science Academic Exchange event at the school is scheduled for 2 PM today.
Right now, the conference room is bustling with people, with many experts and professors who have arrived early at Jiang University. Most of them are leading figures in the field of biological science in the country, usually very busy, and it’s rare to gather them all in one place, so everyone is chatting enthusiastically.
Dean Shen Wenhe, Vice Dean Jiang Gaozhe, and Professor Hans from Jiang University School of Life Sciences, along with Professor Liang from Shuimu University, Professor Lu from Jingcheng University, and others, are sitting around the conference table, drinking tea and chatting leisurely.
Throughout the morning, these top scholars with significant standing in the field of biological science in the country discussed their views and perspectives on several core topics at the forefront of research in biological science, and everyone felt greatly rewarded, making this trip to Jiang University worthwhile.
Of course, the key figure among them is the internationally renowned Professor Hans, whose academic research, whether in terms of academic vision or the depth and breadth of research, is beyond what the others present could match.
For instance, just a few simple words from him enlightened everyone present, making things clear and bright.
Even Professor Liang from Shuimu University and Professor Liang from Jingcheng University were so excited that they wished the academic exchange event could start immediately so they could seize the opportunity to listen to Professor Hans’s academic report and gain more academic inspiration.
However, the morning session was not a seminar, but merely a symposium for experts and professors to exchange information and ideas, so it was naturally impossible to always talk about academic matters.
Therefore, after having a simple chat about recent academic trends and cutting-edge developments, as lunchtime approached, the topic started to become more relaxed.
"Professor Hans, not long ago, when you led the university delegation from Great Britain to Huaxia, you didn’t just visit Jiang University!"
Professor Qin Zhiyuan from Huannong University suddenly spoke up with a smile while Professor Hans was quietly chatting with Professor Liang from Shuimu University beside him,
"Besides Jiang University, you also visited other universities like Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Jinling University, and our Huannong University among others.
I’m personally curious, as I’ve never heard of you expressing an interest in teaching at a Huaxia university before, how did you end up choosing to stay at Jiang University?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze over, while also pricking up their ears.
To be honest, everyone is curious about this question too.
After all, when they heard that Professor Hans accepted the appointment and "settled" at Jiang University, it was jaw-dropping!
Who is Professor Hans?
An internationally known expert and scholar in the field of biological science, he is among the top tier even when compared domestically!
Why would such a high-profile expert choose Jiang University, an institution with relatively low recognition?
Shouldn’t Professor Hans have gone to top domestic universities like Shuimu, Jing University, or Shanghai Jiao Tong University?
Therefore, when this news broke, everyone felt a mixed sense of surprise, as if they bit into two lemons.
So, when they heard Professor Qin from Huannong University directly address this issue, everyone immediately focused their attention on Professor Hans, eager to hear what he had to say.
Professor Qin Zhiyuan is also over fifty years old this year, roughly the same age as Professor Hans, but unlike Professor Hans, who always smiles, Professor Qin is known for his quick temper, loud voice, and direct speech.
He always speaks his mind without beating around the bush, and over time, everyone is aware of Professor Qin Zhiyuan’s straightforward nature, so no one takes it personally.
However, directly asking such a question to Professor Hans in the presence of so many experts and professors from various universities caused Dean Shen Wenhe and Vice Dean Jiang Gaozhe from Jiang University School of Life Sciences to immediately have dark expressions.
Lao Qin, what do you mean by that? Are you looking down on Jiang University with your question?
What’s wrong with Professor Hans staying at Jiang University? It was his own decision to stay!
Although they were unhappy, facing so many peers, and given that Jiang University School of Life Sciences is the host of this academic exchange event, as hosts, Shen Wenhe and Jiang Gaozhe refrained from saying anything.
After exchanging glances, they also focused their attention on Professor Hans, eager to hear what he had to say.
"Professor Qin is right. Not long ago, when I led a university delegation from Great Britain to visit various universities in Huaxia, I was still a professor at a university in Great Britain."
Professor Hans scanned the crowd, then looked at Professor Qin Zhiyuan, saying with a bright smile,
"Who would have thought that in less than a month, when meeting again with all of you, I have already become a professor at Jiang University School of Life Sciences.
I have visited many renowned universities in Huaxia. Whether in terms of academic atmosphere or research capability, each university has its unique qualities.
Jiang University is the same. Its School of Life Sciences is young but also very vibrant, and most importantly, it has a group of young people with a strong spirit of inquiry.
