Chapter 325 Lu, long time no see! (Two chapters in one)
Time flies and it is September, and another group of new students enter the campus.
Teaching Building 1, on the third floor, the first classroom next to the stairs was packed.
The freshmen of the Department of Marine Engineering were curious and talked about it at first, but as more and more people came in, everyone began to look at each other in confusion.
What's going on? Today is a professional class, not a large class, so why are there so many people here?
Not only were all the empty seats filled, but those who came later also brought their own small stools, filling up the aisles and the seats in front of the podium.
Freshman A: "Could these people have gone the wrong way?"
Freshman B: "I saw sophomores and juniors. We can't all go the wrong way together."
Freshman A: "Who knows, maybe there will be an update on the content of this course?"
Freshman B: “Hey, hey, hey, look, look!”
Freshman A: "What...are you looking at...this, this is also a freshman?"
A young woman in a dark green dress came in from the door. Her long dark hair was tied into a low ponytail and hung behind her. She didn't have any jewelry on her body, but her whole body exuded a dazzling light.
She is like the lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the lotus pond, bringing a touch of coolness to the sultry weather in September.
The senior students were excited and the freshmen were stunned. The classroom was quiet for a moment and then immediately became noisy again.
Freshman C: “I haven’t seen him before. He should be a senior too?”
New student: "Oh my god, this is so beautiful!"
Freshman C: “I’m so nervous. What should I do? I can’t breathe!”
New student: "Haha, no one knows who you are, why are you so nervous!"
…
Lu Youyou couldn't help but laugh when she saw the people in the room. Many familiar faces were there, especially Duan Mingjuan who was sitting in the front row.
"Introduction to Marine Science" is just a basic theory course. Why are senior students joining in the fun?
She is a new teacher and the college has not assigned her any assignments that are too difficult. They are letting her adapt first and will make changes next semester if there are no problems.
"Okay, let's start the class."
As soon as Lu Youyou opened her mouth, the classroom became quiet again.
The early morning of September was not cool at all because of the raging autumn heat, but the clear and clear sound was like heavenly music, making people feel what it means to be calm and cool.
Without exception, fireworks went off in the minds of all the freshmen. Is this their teacher?!
If I remember correctly, the teacher of "Introduction to Marine Science" was Lu Youyou, with the suffix "Associate Professor".
So this fairy-like lesbian is an associate professor?!
They watched Lu Youyou walk up to the podium and write their names on the blackboard. Now they had to believe their eyes.
Maybe everyone has imagined that if my teacher is so beautiful, I will definitely study so hard, and my mother will no longer worry about my Chinese/math/English...
However, when a teacher who was beautiful beyond imagination really appeared, everyone could hardly hear what she said because all their attention was on her face.
However, Lu Youyou is not an ordinary person, and this course can be said to be tailor-made for her.
Lu Youyou knows the future. No one knows the development prospects of marine science and its development direction in the next few decades better than her.
In other words, she is the most suitable person to guide the process.
Today's students' choice of major is almost like a blind marriage. They have no idea what they are going to study or what they can do in the future.
At this time, reading from the script is the worst option. It is most appropriate to paint a beautiful blueprint, which is also what freshmen want to hear most.
Even the senior students who had long forgotten about this lesson were unknowingly immersed in the future described by Lu Youyou.
Duan Mingjuan listened attentively. She had enjoyed the special lessons from her idol many times, but this was the first time she had attended such a large class with such a leisurely lecture.
She thought back to the lecture she had attended two years ago.
Lu Youyou once opened a door for her, and today's basic introductory course made her more determined that her choice was right.
There were dozens of people crowded in the classroom, but only Lu Youyou's voice could be heard.
It was so crowded and yet so quiet that people in the classroom experienced the fastest 45 minutes of their lives.
When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, many people frowned subconsciously. The abrupt bell sounded like an untimely intruder.
get out of class is over already? That's too fast!
"Okay, that's all for today's class. I've prepared a list of books for you that will help you understand this subject."
Duan Mingjuan was sitting nearby and saw the book list, which was obviously much shorter. She covered her mouth and chuckled.
Even though it is so much shorter, it is still a very arduous task, but as long as you read it carefully, you will definitely benefit a lot from it. She definitely has the right to speak on this point.
The list of books that Lu Youyou handed out was snatched away by seven or eight hands.
"Ahem, Teacher Lu, I'm the class monitor, leave it to me." A boy wearing glasses stood up and said.
Lu Youyou smiled and said to him: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it's not hard. What's so hard about it? Haha..."
The boy's face quickly turned red like a monkey's butt. If it weren't for the high temperature, you could see the smoke coming out of his head.
Everyone in the room stared at Lu Youyou's back as she left, then stuck their heads out in unison, watched her go downstairs, and then swarmed into the corridor, leaning over the railings to look down.
"I still can't believe this is our teacher!"
"I feel like my face is older than my teacher!"
The freshmen were so curious that they bravely asked their seniors.
Someone poked Duan Mingjuan from behind and said, "Senior, do you know how old Teacher Lu is?"
"About twenty-five or twenty-six?"
"Oh my god! Only five years older than me?!"
The current age limit for the college entrance examination is mostly no more than 25 years old, which means that Lu Youyou may be less than a year older than some of the people here.
They have just entered university and they are already associate professors!
This incident had the same impact as Lu Youyou's appearance.
Compared with Lu Youyou, those top students in their grade, county, city, or even province that they had met since childhood seemed nothing.
Anyone who can get into Tsinghua University is a genius, but who dares to say that he can achieve the same achievement at the age of 25?
The freshmen's hearts and eyes are now full of this new teacher, and they are eager to know more about her glorious deeds.
Even though there are many confidential contents that no one knows, the parts that have been revealed are enough to shock everyone.
It turns out that teaching at Tsinghua University at a young age is just a very normal thing in her life.
She holds a double undergraduate degree from Tsinghua University, a double graduate degree from Stanford University, and is now an associate professor in both positions. She is also leading two national research projects!
Those who came to take the class left in a stream, and the remaining freshmen were still immersed in shock and unable to get out of it until the end of the second class.
At noon, the class monitor was besieged by the whole class. He resisted the heavy pressure and only took out the copied book list, on the grounds that the original version had to be returned to Teacher Lu.
Unfortunately, his little thoughts were ruthlessly exposed. You said you want to pay it back, okay, we will go with you to pay it back, and we will not let you keep it secretly!
The monitor was taken to the office building in tears, but he did not see Lu Youyou. Duan Mingjuan helped collect the book list.
Only then did everyone realize that the senior student sitting in the front row that day was actually an "insider", and for a moment, the way they looked at Duan Mingjuan was different.
"Introduction to Marine Science" is just an introductory course and does not have too many courses, but it has become the course that everyone looks forward to the most.
Thereafter, the number of students in each class did not decrease, and there was even a trend of increasing number. Not only senior students, but also students from other departments came to join in the fun.
For this reason, the college specially changed the classroom for Lu Youyou to a new one. Otherwise, the teachers in the Academic Affairs Office were scared by the constant flow of students’ suggestions.
Many faculty members are paying attention to Lu Youyou's situation. Although many of them don't say anything on the surface, they are wondering in their hearts, wondering if she is just trying to attract attention.
There are teachers who are popular among students, but Lu Youyou has several duties, and to be honest, few people think she can do everything well.
It would be incredible if I could barely finish teaching the courses in two departments and achieve some small results on the project.
As a result, after a winter and a spring, Lu Youyou submitted two reports in succession before the summer vacation, and the whole campus was boiling because of her again.
This time, reporters came again to follow the hot topic, but the school only gave one reply - Professor Lu was on vacation.
In fact, where did Lu Youyou go? She did rest at home for a few days, and then she was called to the airport by Song Yunqing's long-distance call.
Miss Song finally waited for the summer vacation and prepared to take a two-month in-depth tour of China.
When Lu Youyou arrived at the airport, she realized that not only Song Yunqing came, but also Lawrence.
"Lu, long time no see!"
Lawrence seemed to have not changed at all, still wearing the same old white shirt and casual trousers, with his sleeves casually rolled up and a pair of casual leather shoes on his feet.
"Long time no see!" Lu Youyou looked at the elite suits filing out from behind him and joked, "Are these not all your bodyguards?"
Lawrence smiled: "Someone from my family is here to inspect, I'm just hitchhiking."
Lu Youyou raised her eyebrows slightly. Is the Rockefeller family coming to China to investigate the investment environment?
She only heard that the Rockefeller Foundation donated to Peking Union Medical College in the early 20th century, but she had no idea whether it invested in China in the 1980s.
On the other side, Song Yunqing had already pounced on Lu Youyou: "Hehe, actually I'm the one who hitchhiked!"
When in the United States, Song Yunqing met Lawrence several times because Lawrence often took Lu Youyou to and from the laboratory.
They met at a campus banquet held at Stanford some time ago, and they talked about Lu Youyou. Only then did they know that they both had plans to go to China.
Because Rockefeller's inspection team needed to charter a plane, Lawrence took the opportunity to invite Song Yunqing to come along.
Lu Youyou asked Lawrence: "Don't you have to go with them?"
Seeing Lu Youyou looking at a group of people who were greeting the Chinese reception staff, Lawrence smiled and shook his head.
"I'm really just a hitchhiker. I never care about the family's affairs."
From a certain perspective, Lawrence and Song Yunqing are somewhat similar.
As the second generation of the rich, they don’t have to worry about the family business and can focus on doing what they like. No wonder the two of them can get along so well.
Song Yunqing didn't show any sign of fatigue from the long journey and waved her arms.
"Let's go, I can't wait any longer. I want to eat a whole Peking duck!!"
Lu Youyou looked at Lawrence, who was out of tune with the surrounding background. His eyes were full of expectations. Could he leave him behind?
"Come along, I'll treat you to authentic Chinese food."
Lawrence showed his eight teeth, and with his golden brown hair, he looked brighter than the sun.
It was rare to see a few foreigners even at the airport at that time, not to mention that their group was quite eye-catching.
Lu Youyou always gets people turning their heads to look at her. Song Yunqing is 175cm tall with gray hair, while Lawrence has blonde hair and double-breasted hair. Wherever the three of them stand, they are the scenery.
The TV series "Blood Coagulation" was just introduced in China in 1984. It caused an enormous sensation after it was broadcast. The scene of the three of them together was even better than on TV.
As they walked outside, the onlookers wanted to get closer but didn't dare to get too close, so they created the effect of a "lined street welcoming them."
Song Yunqing was stunned by the look. She wasn't like this the last time she came!
Lawrence subconsciously opened his hands to protect the two ladies. Facing the curious eyes from all directions, he could only keep smiling.
After escaping the encirclement, he heaved a sigh of relief: "The people in your country are so welcoming!"
Lu Youyou almost laughed. If Lawrence dared to appear alone on the streets, in the park, or in the vegetable market, he would experience what true enthusiasm was.
"Oh, you bought a car?" Song Yunqing asked in shock.
She has some knowledge about China. Doesn't it say that private individuals are not allowed to buy cars?
Lu Youyou opened the door of a white Santana and said casually, "My mother bought it."
The country just promulgated relevant regulations this year, allowing private individuals to purchase cars, so Lin Nanxing bought a Santana without any hesitation.
It is no exaggeration to say that this Chinese version of Santana, which was successfully assembled by the Shanghai Automobile Factory in 1983, is a legendary car.
Lu Youyou had never touched this in her previous life, but she didn't expect to become one of the first customers of the magical car in this life.
It was Lawrence’s first time in China, and he found everything interesting. He even looked at the wilderness outside the airport with great interest.
When they arrived in the city, not only Lawrence, but also Song Yunqing was captivated by the scene outside the window.
They were returning at the time when they got off work in the evening, and it was at this time that the "strength" of a country with a large population could be fully demonstrated.
Buses came one after another, bicycles were crammed into every available space on the road, and people were everywhere you looked.
The last time Song Yunqing came, she didn't encounter rush hour, and she had a special car and a special person, so she had never seen such a bustling world.
Lawrence's entire impression of China came from Lu Youyou. Only after coming here did he realize that she was more unique than he had ever realized.
Lawrence withdrew his gaze and looked towards the driver's seat unconsciously. After a long time, he turned his head and looked out the window before Lu Youyou noticed.
Although Song Yunqing was heading for the roast duck, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva when passing by Donglaishun.
"Can we go out for a midnight snack after dinner? I want to eat mutton hotpot..."
"I guess not. Restaurants here don't stay open that late."
"Okay, let's eat tomorrow."
"What is shabu-shabu?" Lawrence asked.
He has tried a lot of Chinese food this year, but has never tasted this.
Without Lu Youyou saying anything, Song Yunqing had already used extremely detailed descriptions and gestures to make the Americans understand what Old Beijing Copper Pot Shabu Shabu is.
