When the majority had followed Director Qiu away, Vice Dean Jiang Gaozhe also stood up, smiling warmly at the remaining academic giants and said:
"Professor Liang, Professor Lu, and other esteed experts, it’s getting late. We’ve already prepared food and drinks at the restaurant over there. Let’s move over and eat while we chat."
"Sure, we have an academic exchange event at 2 PM. There’s plenty of ti, so no need to rush. Let’s go eat sothing first."
Professor Lu from Jingcheng University stood up, gave Professor Hans a glance, and said with a cheerful smile,
"Professor Hans, it’s been a while since we’ve had a al together. Shall we have a couple of drinks later?"
"Hahaha, no problem, but we have a conference in the afternoon, so let’s not get drunk."
Professor Hans nodded, then looked at Professor Liang from Shuimu University and others, smiling as he said,
"If you don’t mind, you can co by my place tonight.
I happen to have a few bottles of treasured Lafite there. We can taste wine and have a good talk!"
"With Mr. Hans inviting, how could we not go? Once evening cos, I’ll definitely be there!"
Professor Liang from Shuimu University, and other experts and scholars from various universities, all agreed with laughter.
This isn’t just an ordinary invitation to visit; speaking seriously, it’s the forming of an academic circle that most people couldn’t squeeze into even with great effort.
Just ask, what kind of people can get an invitation from Mr. Hans?
If he doesn’t think highly of you, how could he possibly invite you over and serve you his treasured wine?
No need to even think about it!
"Everyone, let’s go feast then."
Professor Hans raised his hand slightly to signal, smiling broadly and said,
"Besides having a great campus environnt, our Jiang University also has a first-class cafeteria. This welco banquet is specially prepared by Mr. Jiang Yu, the head chef at Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall. I’m sure you’ll all enjoy it."
"Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall has indeed gained quite the reputation over the past months; I’ve heard about it multiple tis."
Professor Liang from Shuimu University chid in with a smile,
"Quite a few of my graduate students brought it up to , saying that they wanted to co along when I told them I was attending an academic exchange at Jiang University.
They must be thinking of getting a free al at Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall!"
"Hahaha, young folks, they’re all foodies."
Professor Lu of Jingcheng University couldn’t help but laugh as he said,
"We’re just getting on in age, our appetites aren’t like before, nothing tastes as good as it used to. Otherwise, we might be bigger gluttons than them!"
"Isn’t that the truth! But I really do want to try the dishes Jiang Yu makes!"
"..."
A group of people were chatting and laughing as they descended the stairs.
Given their age, naturally they followed Professor Hans’s lead in conversation, as it wouldn’t be like Professor Qin Zhiyuan from Huazhong Agricultural University, who speaks candidly.
At this mont, Professor Qin Zhiyuan was silently following behind the group, listening to their conversation, feeling a bit uncomfortable inside.
Sure, Professor Hans’s academic level is high, but does everyone need to follow his lead?
Seriously, is it that hard to say so honest words?
However, before he could open his mouth, Professor Hans suddenly turned to Professor Qin Zhiyuan and sincerely said,
"Professor Qin, the dishes at our Seventh Dining Hall may not be many, but if they’re cooked by Mr. Jiang Yu, the taste will definitely be top-notch. I’ve never had such delicious food before.
Oh, Lord! That wonderful taste, I still savor it to this day!
In a while, you must eat more; otherwise, you’ll surely regret it."
"..."
Professor Qin looked stunned.
What, what is this?
I rely questioned it once before, you really need to ntion it specifically to ?
I an, you shouldn’t rely on being an academic bigwig and bully !
Professor Liang and Professor Lu turned and glanced at Professor Qin with deep aning, then quickly looked away, unable to hide their smiles.
It seems Professor Hans is quite overprotective; even rembered what Professor Qin said earlier and didn’t forget to "balance the scales".
With that in mind, they also secretly reminded themselves to think carefully before speaking in the upcoming chat, lest they unknowingly touch Professor Hans’s "sensitive spot", which would be embarrassing.
The group continued chatting as they walked, soon led by Vice Dean Jiang Gaozhe, they arrived at the Seventh Dining Hall.
It was already lunchti, the Seventh Dining Hall had been open for a while, bustling with people inside and outside, the enticing aroma of food filled the whole cafeteria, even the experts and professors standing outside caught a whiff.
Professor Liang from Shuimu University praised in awe:
"This cafeteria’s business sure is booming, our Shuimu University has a lot of students too, but no cafeteria requires lining up to buy als."
"It must be the good food at the cafeteria. When more students co to eat, naturally they’ll need to queue."
Professor Lu from Jingcheng University chuckled and agreed,
