Downstairs.
In the Chinese department's campus.
Wu Zeqing and Zhang Ye had already discussed the treatment and class arrangements on the way down. There was no room for negotiation, so the process was very smooth.
"Little Zhang, have you thought of what class to teach?"
"Not yet, but I have a few general ideas."
"Alright, I'll leave this class to you. I believe you can arrange it well."
"Definitely. The main thing is that I want to communicate with the students and see what class they want to listen to. If I were to teach, I would definitely choose something that everyone is interested in. Otherwise, it would be meaningless if I were to lecture to my heart's content. The main thing is that the students must be interested in listening."
"It's good that you have this idea. Let's go. I'll bring you to the classroom."
Beside the garden, they strolled towards the teaching area. During this time, Wu Zeqing even made a phone call to brief them on some matters.
......
Around 8 AM.
The Chinese department's announcement sounded.
On the campus, on the field, in the corridors, the same voice kept repeating itself.
"Notification: Students taking the 'Appreciation of the Classics' elective course, gather at Building 2's lecture hall at 9 AM. Please pass the message to each other!"
As it was the 2nd of January, there were no classes scheduled for the second and third years in the morning. Only a portion of the first year students had classes. At this moment, in the campus, some people were preparing for class, some were resting in their dormitories, and some had yet to return to school. Upon hearing this announcement, most people did not care. It was none of their business. Only a small group of Chinese department students who had signed up for the 'Appreciation of the Classics' elective course pricked up their ears.
Yao Mi had just finished breakfast and was playing badminton with a few people in a corner of the field.
"Eh? The announcement is for us! "Li Ying said in surprise.
Li Li was also puzzled, "What's going on? Going to the lecture hall? "
Yao Mi smiled and hit the badminton, "Is there a need to ask? They must have invited a new teacher. We are finally not raised by stepmothers."
The few of them stopped playing and sat down to rest.
Li Li said, "What kind of teacher do you think it will be?"
Yao Mi guessed, "It must be a bald old professor, or an old lady with white hair. The Chinese department teachers are all like that."
Li Ying happily said, "Finally he, the Senior, is here."
A girl from Yao Mi's dormitory also said, "That's right. This time, the risk of us failing is much lower. At least the teacher will inform us of the scope of the exam."
Many people around the campus also heard it.
"He's talking about us!"
"Is there a new teacher?"
"You've just arrived and you're already giving a lecture?"
"I don't think so. Today is probably just a meeting to let everyone get to know each other. The class will probably start tomorrow. Let's go and take a look."
"It must be another old professor. Boring."
"We still have to go. They hold our elective course credits."
…
In the teaching building on the west side of the second building.
In a lecture hall, many students came one after another.
The lecture hall was not big and could only accommodate 150 people at most. However, there were not many people who signed up for the elective course "Appreciation of the Classics". Peking University's Chinese department only had about 120 people who signed up for this course this semester. Of course, compared to other normal universities, an elective course with more than 100 people was considered a lot, but this was Peking University. The number of people who signed up for this course was relatively low. It was not a popular elective course, so the people who signed up for this course were mostly for the sake of keeping it simple and easily fooling around for credits.
Other than a few who had yet to return to school, most of the students for this course had arrived. The first row of the lecture hall was a restricted area. Basically no one sat there. Everyone gathered at the back of the lecture hall and chatted, but there was no sign of their mysterious new teacher.
"Still not here?"
"It's not even 9 PM yet."
"Let's play cards for a while?"
"Forget it, we'll get caught by the new teacher."
On the other side, Yao Mi also took out her cellphone and browsed the web. Then she could not help but say in a depressed manner, "Why hasn't the broadcast resumed yet!? It's really making me anxious! "
The girl asked, "What's the broadcast?"
Yao Mi was a little annoyed, "Zhang Ye's Talk Show."
Li Ying shouted, "Classmate Little Mi, you watch Zhang Ye's program too?"
"You're the Little Mi! Your whole family are Little Mi! " Yao Mi scolded with a smile, then said, "Of course I watch it. I've watched the first few episodes three to four times. Zhang Ye is too funny!"
A senior beside them, who did not know them, interrupted and laughed, "That's right, that's right. That mouth of Zhang Ye's is really f * * king awesome!"
Yao Mi looked over, "Is that so? I've been waiting for the next episode! "
That senior said, "Me too, but I might have to wait until after the new year. Didn't you see the news? The SARFT has not reinstated Zhang Ye's hosting qualifications, so he can't broadcast yet. "
Li Ying said, "Yao Mi, didn't you say that your dad knows Zhang Ye when we were eating? I also watch the Talk Show. So when is it going to be broadcasted? "
That senior's eyes lit up, "Your dad even knows Zhang Ye?"
Yao Mi said, "Of course. They have a pretty good relationship."
"Who is your dad?" Li Ying asked, "I still don't know."
Yao Mi giggled, "You wouldn't know him even if I told you."
Li Ying rolled his eyes, "Forget it if you don't want to tell me. But compared to the Talk Show, I prefer Zhang Ye's' Analysis of the Three Kingdoms'. Have you all seen it?"
Li Li said, "Professor Wang previously assigned this assignment. Everyone has seen it, right?"
It was hard to say for other classes, but in the "Appreciation of the Classics" class, there was no one who did not know Zhang Ye. There was no one who had not seen his works. Professor Wang had only given two classes this semester, but in the second class, Professor Wang had recommended a total of seven books and two television programs for everyone to read. One of them was Zhang Ye's "Analysis of the Three Kingdoms".
Classical classics.
There were only a few of them. The Three Kingdoms was of course the most important.
When Yao Mi heard of this topic, she immediately shook her head, "Look at the current 'Lecture Room'. What the heck is going on? Back when Zhang Ye planned this program, he did both planning and hosting. He spoke so well and the viewership ratings were almost off the charts, but what about the current 'Lecture Room'? They invited those so-called experts and professors, but what the hell are they talking about? It's not even a tenth of Zhang Ye's! "
Li Ying agreed, "That's true. Those professors made me speechless. All they did was hold a script and stand there, reading from beginning to end. And the audience was even applauding? They were obviously shills! Look at Zhang Ye's lectures. When has he ever used a script? When has he ever lowered his head to look at a script? This difference is huge. And the crux of the issue is that they are not as good as Zhang Ye. Giving a long speech is meaningless. Such a good program has been ruined by those experts and professors. The ratings now don't even seem to be a quarter of 'Zhang Ye's Analysis of the Three Kingdoms', right? "
A junior at the back also chimed in, "That's right. Without Zhang Ye, BTV-Arts has completely collapsed."
Another third year senior said with a laugh, "Zhang Ye's program gives people the impression that the planning is especially good. The program is especially innovative, but they don't know that the core is not the creativity or planning, but Zhang Ye himself. Beijing Television Station got rid of the donkey when it was no longer of use, and fired Teacher Zhang Ye, but now? Without Zhang Ye, 'Lecture Room' is just a pile of dog shit. They thought that Zhang Ye had paved the way and set the stage for them. Who else could achieve that kind of ratings? Now they should know how laughable they are! Without Zhang Ye, they are nothing! Talk shows are the same. There are so many people who plagiarize, but none of them can imitate Zhang Ye's style. Hence, the failure of 'Lecture Room' is because of Beijing Television Station's strategic mistake. They did not understand that the irreplaceable thing is not the creativity or the program, but the irreplaceable thing is Zhang Ye himself. In the end, they threw away the core competitiveness! "
Yao Mi's eyes lit up, "Senior, I totally agree with what you said!"
The senior said, "That's right. If Zhang Ye was still at BTV-Arts Channel, 'Lecture Room' would probably have crushed all the other programs."
Another senior said, "I'm not too interested in Zhang Ye's program, but I really like his temper. He really dares to scold!"
Li Ying also said with lingering fear, "That's right. He actually dared to scold the SARFT during the live broadcast. Holy sh * t, I'm sweating for him!"
Li Li smiled bitterly, "Zhang Ye really dares to speak."
Yao Mi laughed heartily, "That's just Zhang Ye's character. He's so likable!"
Since they had nothing to do, everyone started talking about the entertainment industry, one after another.
Gradually, someone looked at their watch.
"What time is it already?"
"Why isn't she here yet?"
"Where's the new teacher? I still have a class in a while. "
"Ah, she's here, she's here. Hey, look outside. Isn't that President Wu Zeqing? Why is President Wu here? Holy sh * t, don't tell me she's the substitute teacher? "
Upon hearing this, everyone looked over.
Wu Zeqing and a youth walked over one after another.
"Are you serious?"
"President Wu can't possibly be a substitute teacher. What level is she at?"
"Right, President Wu isn't really an academic person. She's only here at Peking University to gain experience. After she passes her qualifications, she might even return to the Ministry of Education or some other place to be an official. Hey, there's another person behind President Wu. He's wearing sunglasses? Why does he look so familiar? "
"Who is that person?"
"Heh, you don't say, he looks really familiar!"
"A new teacher? He can't be that young, right? "
"That's right, he's too young! What's going on? "
Yao Mi, Li Ying, and Li Li were also puzzled.
In the next second, Wu Zeqing walked into the classroom. Looking at the students, she said gently, "I've made all of you wait. Professor Wang is unable to teach 'Appreciation of the Classics' due to his health. The school has invited a new teacher for everyone, a famous new teacher!"
No one was surprised that Professor Wang could no longer teach.
But, a new teacher? And it was a famous new teacher?
Wu Zeqing's words made all the students in the classroom look forward to it. What kind of famous person was he? An authority in the industry? A top professor in the field?
The mystery was revealed!
Wu Zeqing turned her head to look at the young man who walked in after her. She introduced him to everyone, "Let's welcome him with a round of applause. This is your new teacher — Teacher Zhang Ye!"
Zhang Ye stood in front of the podium and slowly took off his sunglasses, "Hello everyone."
In an instant, the classroom suddenly fell silent. Then, shouts of disbelief rose and fell from the mouths of the students!
"Ah!"
"Holy sh * t!"
"It's Zhang Ye!"
"It's really f * * king Zhang Ye!"
"How is this possible!? Are my eyes playing tricks on me? "
"Zhang Ye is our new teacher?"
Screams!
Shock!
Disbelief!
The Peking University students were all excited!
