general seminars are just dinners, divided into dozens of tables, and old pedants who share the same interests and have topics or are already familiar are divided into one, eating and chatting..
However, this seminar has historically moved the venue from several major coastal cities to the inland city. Chongcheng university has arranged a banquet more like a cocktail party before the meeting, which is to show the majestic capital of Chongcheng although it is inland.
Without discussing the purpose of the reception, Yang Guo and his colleagues found that many people had stood inside, all dressed in men's suits and shoes and women's costumes. It seemed that it was really the same thing!
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that when translating, except for poor translators, most interpreters require formal attire when doing conference translation and even simultaneous interpreting. Similarly, at the cocktail party after the conference, interpreters often can 'mix' with an admission ticket, so they will not feel strange to such activities as cocktail parties.
Those who can enter this venue are people with certain attainments in linguistics or translation theory, most of whom are professors. With their ability, the work of simultaneous interpreting is naturally nothing to say, so you can see that they are not as helpless as newcomers in the face of the reception, holding a tall glass in twos and threes to get together and chat, waiting for the reception to begin.
On this occasion, Yang Guo knew it was inappropriate to bring Qiqi, but Chen Zongdai was very domineering. He waved his hand and said it didn't matter. Yang Guo naturally didn't want to leave Qiqi at home, so he brought it. However, in order not to cause public anger, he kept a low profile and led Qiqi to sway 'Dang' on the edge.
"Baba, I want to see! I want to see!" Qiqi was too short. She stood on tiptoe on the ground and didn't see the self-help food on the table, but when she heard her father's praise, she couldn't help but cry with Yang Guo's' pants' and 'legs'.
"Shh, keep your voice down." Yang Guo raised her index finger near her mouth. Qiqi shrunk her neck and looked around pretendedly. Yang Guo picked up Qiqi and watched the delicious food with the 'girl' because the reception was not formal yet, at first they could only watch but not eat.
"This is a clam. We have it everywhere, but dad has never seen such a big one. It's almost catching up with oysters!" Yang Guo pointed to the food and taught Qiqi to recognize it. Others are looking for acquaintances to exchange greetings. Yang Guo has no acquaintances. He hides with his' female 'son to amuse himself.
"Baba, what's the red one?" Qiqi glanced at the seasoning plate next to the big clam plate and asked curiously.
"It's Chili noodles!" Yang Guo laughed, "doesn't Qiqi like spicy food?"
Qiqi pouted her mouth and shook her head. She said in disgust, "Baba, shall we pour it out? Qiqi doesn't like spicy! It's so uncomfortable!"
Yang Guo smiled and patted the 'girl' on the back, comforting him, "don't be afraid, Dad won't let you eat spicy, rest assured. Pour? Can't pour, others want to eat!"
"Yang Guo! Yang Guo! Why are you hiding here?" At this time, Huang Xueyu, the dean of the Department, hurried over and said with a little blame, "come with me quickly. The dean is looking for you!"
"Looking for me?" Yang Guo followed Huang Xueyu with his' girl 'in his arms. He asked strangely, "teacher, isn't he chatting with his friends?"
"Just now president yuan from outside Guangdong asked about you, and the president wanted to introduce you, but you didn't see anyone. Hurry up." Huang Xueyu said hurriedly.
"President yuan? From outside Guangdong?" Yang Guo didn't remember it, but soon, he contacted a person in his memory. Yuan Chenghe, Dean of Guangdong Foreign Studies University!
Last year, Yang Guo was caught in a "wave" of public opinion because of the sudden exposure of the translation of the Autobiography of religious leader Qiao. It was the then president yuan Chenghe's evaluation in the newspaper that made Yang Guo gradually accepted by the public. At that time, Yang Guo was still a nobody, and Chen Zongdai didn't know who Yang Guo was at all!
Of course, President yuan didn't know him. It was Yao Dehua who took a lot of effort and human kindness to invite this great God. President yuan also gave a fair evaluation through some translations that Yang Guo had done at that time, but at that time, it was undoubtedly a great help to Yang Guo.
But even so, with Yang Guo's social and academic status at that time, it was impossible to mention and discuss with President yuan, so Yang Guo later wanted to go to the 'door' to visit and thank him, but he was declined, and he could only write down this kindness in his heart.
Yang Guo thought of this and couldn't help accelerating his pace.
"Teacher!" When Yang Guo came to Chen Zongdai's side, he saw president yuan Chenghe, a white haired old man. Compared with Chen Zongdai's "essence", he was a little old.
Of course, the age of President yuan Chenghe is here. He is in his seventies and was re hired after retirement. Chen Zongdai is even younger than President yuan. Therefore, although Chen Zongdai and Yuan Chenghe are equal in academic circles, Chen Zongdai still maintained a modest posture in the face of Yuan Chenghe.
"Yang Guo, let me introduce you." Chen Zongdai pulled Yang Guo with a glowing face and said, "this is president yuan Chenghe yuan. I don't need to say anything else. You must have heard his name?"
"Why haven't you heard of it? Yuan Yuanchang is a gem in Guangdong Province." Yang Guo put Qiqi on the ground and let her stand by herself. Then he humbly bowed to Yuan Chenghe, and said in a voice of some 'excitement', "Dean yuan, students often heard of your name when they were studying. Last year, they also had to 'get' your help. Today, I finally have the opportunity to meet you. Yang Guo wants to make up a thank you!"
Compared with Huang Xueyu's confusion, Chen Zongdai knew the story of Yang Guo and Yuan Chenghe. He laughed and said, "yes, I forgot. Alas, I should have taken Yang Guo to the 'door' to thank you long ago!"
Yuan Chenghe smiled quietly, exuding the master's indifference. He waved his hand and said, "no, I'm also entrusted by others to say a fair word."
"Your fair words have saved students a lot of scolding." Yang Guo straightened up and said with a calm smile, "it's right to thank you." Yang Guo spoke in a steady voice, unlike other students who stammered at the sight of their long-standing professors.
Yuan Chenghe took a deep look at Yang Guo, then smiled meaningfully at Chen Zongdai and said, "it's still Xiao Chen. You're lucky to have picked a good seedling."
Yuan Chenghe didn't say he had a good eye, but used the word luck. The meaning of it was obvious that it was nothing more than Chen Zongdai's * * * * outbreak. If Yang Guo studied in other schools, how could he get this guy who was tired and lazy in daily enrollment?
"Hey hey!" Chen Zongdai laughed proudly.
