In the distance.
Some people were playing basketball. There was no basketball hoop or court, so a few Peking University freshmen were just casually passing the ball around. There was also the sound of girls laughing and giggling.
"Pass it to me."
"Haha."
"Watch the lake, don't fall into it."
The birds chirped and the students played.
This atmosphere made Zhang Ye very relaxed, so much so that he did not even use the Memory Search Capsule. After reading it a few times, he had almost memorized the script. There was not much substantive content in the script. It was nothing more than a report of the results and a demonstration of the strength of the Chinese mathematics world. It also mentioned the arrival of the Japanese university delegation and their cooperation, as well as some discussions on mathematics. There were not many words and it was easy to memorize.
Suddenly, there was a commotion behind him.
"Hey!"
"The ball's out!"
"There's a bus!"
A few people shouted!
Then, the brakes screeched. It was not that ear-piercing, but it was still quite sudden. It gave Zhang Ye a fright and he turned around to look in the direction of the sound. He saw three tour buses coming to a screeching halt in the middle of the road. A basketball slowly rolled past the front of the first tour bus. Bada, it bounced down a few steps and fell into the hollow of a willow tree in the garden.
The Peking University freshman girl hurried over to pick up the ball.
The other boy said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Another freshman also apologized to the driver, "Sorry, my hand slipped and I couldn't hold it properly. It's my fault, my fault."
Some of the students who were passing by or resting in the garden stopped and looked over. But they did not think much of it. Most of them just took a glance before turning their heads back to what they were doing.
But at this moment, the window on the left side of the second bus was pulled open from the inside. A young man who looked like a student poked his head out to look at them and whispered, "(% # @ @ @."
He did not speak Chinese, but Japanese.
Another student in the bus looked out and also said something.
The Peking University freshman looked up at him, "Japanese?"
The Japanese student in the bus glanced at him, "% ¥# @."
The second and third buses seemed to be filled with Japanese students. Immediately, everyone started speaking in Japanese. Not only were they pointing at the basketball players, they were also looking at the surrounding Peking University students and even teachers, making comments from time to time. Seeing how these Japanese students didn't put them in their eyes, they knew that it was definitely not something good.
Suddenly, a third year senior who was flirting with her boyfriend in the garden stared and sat up from a bench. "Those people are saying that our Peking University students have low standards!"
A second-year male student who was watching cursed and asked, "Did he really say that?"
The senior said, "Of course, my major is Japanese! They are from Tokyo University! "
Are we uncultured?
Our Peking University has low standards?
With that, all the Peking University students present could not agree to it!
"How can you say that!"
"Who are you calling uncultured?"
"It's just a basketball! Those brothers even apologized to him. What did that have to do with having low standards? You're still trying to target our Peking University? "
The surrounding Peking University people all stood in front of the three buses.
The first year female student who had gone to pick up the ball was also infuriated. You can say that about me, but you dare to say that about our Peking University? That won't do. "These people are from the Japanese university delegation? Our school still has to hold a grand welcome party to welcome them? What kind of standards are these! How can you speak like that! You dare to openly scold us in our Peking University campus? Saying that we are uncultured? What about yourselves! What kind of standards are you people! "
The Tokyo University delegation that came to China this time definitely had translators. Moreover, there were also students who studied Mandarin, so they went back to translate for the students in the buses. But perhaps because they had heard the Peking University students say nasty things, the Tokyo University people could not take it lying down and started replying back!
The two groups of people started arguing!
The first bus impatiently honked its horn again and again. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep! There were not many young people sitting in this bus. Most of them were in their thirties or forties. It was obvious that they were the important figures of the Japanese university delegation, such as some school's president, school leaders, people from the Japanese education world, or even Japanese reporters.
Finally, the door of the first bus opened and a middle-aged man got out. With a dark face, he waved his hands like he was swatting flies and shouted, "Get out of the way! What are you all doing! "
"Teacher Bai?"
"Teacher Bai!"
Many of the Peking University students recognized him. Teacher Bai Yi was a teacher from Peking University's Japanese department. He specialized in the study of Japanese culture and was also one of the people in charge of receiving the Japanese university delegation. He was also one of the main organizers of the Sino-Japanese university exchange. As Bai Yi's wife was Japanese and a well-known teacher at Tokyo University, Bai Yi had always had a good relationship with Tokyo University. In the words of China, he was considered the son-in-law of Tokyo University. With his suggestions and matchmaking, this rare exchange between Peking University and Tokyo University had come about.
Bai Yi shouted, "Go back, all of you! What kind of occasion is this! What kind of a day is this! Such an important exchange, why are you all causing trouble! "
A Peking University freshman stiffened his neck and said, "They were the ones who scolded us first!"
Bai Yi stared at him and said, "Which department are you from? Which class are you from? "
When the freshman heard this, he was also a little frightened and did not dare to say anything. He felt very aggrieved!
Seeing that many of them were not saying anything, Bai Yi could not help but point to the girl beside him who was carrying a basketball. "If you want to play basketball, do it on the court. Why are you playing here! The ball nearly rolled off the bus's wheels! What if the bus overturned? Are you all going to take responsibility? Go back, all of you! Stop talking nonsense! "
Another two people alighted from the first bus. They were a man and a woman, and both of them had a press pass around their necks. They looked like they were Japanese reporters accompanying them. When they alighted from the bus, they did not say a word and just started taking pictures of the Peking University students who were blocking the front of the bus. The two of them even whispered to each other from time to time. They were also saying the Japanese word for "quality" that the Japanese students had mentioned earlier!
Bai Yi was stunned and looked even colder at the Peking University students. But he could not care less about them and quickly walked over to them and said in Chinese, "Reporter Honda, we don't have to take pictures of this, right?"
That reporter called Honda also spoke Chinese and spoke it very well. They guessed that he was one of those reporters who had been stationed in China for a long time. "Let's take a picture first. We might not need to use it."
Bai Yi was really a little worried. "We can't use this. It's just a coincidence that we're here today. It's a special situation. Our Peking University students are still very cultured."
The two reporters nodded but still took a picture of the students.
A second year student said angrily, "What are you taking pictures for!"
Bai Yi was even more annoyed than him. "Shut up!"
"Teacher Bai!" That Peking University student pointed at those people and said, "They're scolding us with such low manners, why can't we say a few words?"
"That's right!"
"Based on what!"
"They're even taking pictures of us! What's the meaning of this! "
More and more people gathered. A lot of Peking University students who had received the news also came running over. The Peking University students were very united. Some of them did not understand the situation and did not know what was going on. They just followed the other Peking University students and surrounded the bus!
Bai Yi said angrily, "You threw the basketball in front of the bus and you still think you're in the right?"
A Peking University female student said at the top of her voice, "Who said that we threw it on purpose? It was an accident and we apologized the moment we got on the bus. We even apologized twice! But why are they scolding us? Not only are they scolding us, they're also scolding Peking University? They've brought everyone in! You can scold us all you want! But you can't scold our school! "
The Peking University people's sense of honor towards their alma mater was hard to describe with words!
When the Peking University students who had just arrived heard this, they roughly understood what was going on. They all became agitated and started scolding everywhere!
"That bunch of Japanese!"
"They came to our school to scold us?"
"Welcome party, my ass! Tell them to go back to where they came from! "
"They came to Peking University to scold us? Who's the one with such low manners! "
"Get lost! It's as if someone begged you to come! "
Originally, due to the hatred of their country and family, many of them did not have a good impression of the Japanese. Furthermore, they were hot-blooded youths in their twenties, so they were more or less nationalistic. On the first day of school, they were forced to participate in a welcoming party for the Japanese. When the other party's attitude towards their school was so bad, how could they not be angry? Many of them even took out their cell phones to call for their friends and classmates!
"Hello? Wang 'er, come quickly! "
"The Japanese are here to find trouble!"
"Come quickly! Something's happening here! It's at the little garden on the west side of the lake! "
After receiving the calls, more than a thousand students had gathered around the lake. Because there were several dormitories not far away, everyone came very quickly. There were three layers inside and three layers outside!
Finally, a middle-aged Japanese man alighted from the first bus. This man seemed to be the person in charge of the university's delegation, or perhaps the main person in charge. He did not look too well, and the way he looked at Bai Yi was obviously questioning him. He had not expected to encounter such a situation.
Bai Yi was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He was the one who had done everything he could to facilitate this exchange. In the end, such an unpleasant incident had happened before it had even begun. Although it was unlikely that it would really affect the cooperation between the two parties, it was still not a good thing. It was bound to cast a shadow on them. Bai Yi hurriedly explained to the Japanese person in charge and apologized profusely, "It's our dereliction of duty and caused you to be alarmed. I'll handle it immediately!"
The middle-aged Japanese man grunted in acknowledgment before getting back into the car and sitting back unhappily.
