Chapter 566

Outside the auditorium.

It was already past 4 PM in the afternoon.

The mathematician from Cambridge University, Beck, looked at Zhang Ye with a face full of admiration. He said in standard English, "Zhang, your eloquence has really opened my eyes." They had been present the entire time and there was also an English translator translating for them, so they heard everything that was said clearly.

Zhang Ye said, "Is that so?"

Baker commented, "Even the best language teacher at Cambridge University is probably not even half as good at giving speeches as you are." What kind of place was Cambridge? If Peking University was said to be the highest educational institution in China, then Cambridge would be one of the highest educational institutions in the world. Their rankings were very different, so Beck's evaluation was obviously very high. It was not known if he was praising Zhang Ye or just stating the truth. "I'm really having some doubts now. Are you really a mathematician? In our mathematics world, how can there be someone as eloquent as you? "

Xin Ya said, "Peking University's Teacher Zhang graduated from a broadcasting major. Not only is he a mathematician, he is also a very outstanding host in China."

Beck clearly did not know, "Ah?"

The other mathematicians were also taken aback, "What?"

Only a few of the foreign mathematicians knew about Zhang Ye's background, so they were not surprised.

Zhang Ye sighed, "I'm not that outstanding. Professor Xin is just praising me. My results in hosting are still not up to the standard in our country. I'm just average, average." He was being modest, but that was indeed the case. Yes, he was not considered average, but in the hosting industry, he was at most considered to be an excellent host. As for the top hosts, he was still far from it. After all, he had never hosted a program on a nationally broadcast satellite channel before. He had only appeared on radio stations, local stations, or online television stations, so his qualifications were naturally lacking.

A German mathematician said, "I'm really looking forward to Professor Zhang's program."

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Sure, if everyone is interested, I'll invite all of you to come to the venue the next time I do a program. I reckon that the next program won't be too far away." When he said that, his tone was filled with helplessness. However, he did not feel down at all. This fellow was quite open-minded.

The foreigners might not have understood or understood what he meant, but the Peking University teachers understood what Zhang Ye was implying. The next program won't be too far away? That's right, it's time for you to do a program! After causing such a big mess today, it would be a wonder if you could still continue your classes. The punishment would definitely not be light. Besides, many of the Peking University teachers felt that Zhang Ye was thinking too much about going to a television station to do a program. At this juncture, no one knew if this incident could be resolved or how it would end. If you don't get banned again, you should already be thanking the Gods!

The mathematicians left.

Zhang Ye sent them to the car and went back with Zhang.

Along the way, there were Peking University students passing by from time to time. When they saw Zhang Ye, they were all very excited and waved at him to greet him.

"

"Zhang!



"You!

Many of the Peking University students did not manage to make it to the hall for the welcoming party and were not there. They only heard about it from the students who came back. When they heard that Zhang Ye had led thousands of Peking University students to point at the Japanese political delegation and scold them as "idiots," many of the Peking University students felt their blood boiling just from hearing it. Many of the nationalistic youths were looking forward to it, regretting that they were not at Centennial Hall at that time!

Zhang Ye also greeted everyone, but when he returned to the Chinese department's teachers' office, Peking University's punishment was handed down!

Suspension!

Suspension of classes!

Students who had already registered for Zhang Ye's elective class could change classes to other teachers within three days.

The punishment was announced by the dean, Chang Kaige. Suspension of classes meant that Zhang Ye's classes were suspended. Suspension meant that Zhang Ye's duties at Peking University were suspended, such as the Chinese department's lecturer or the Math department's lecturer. If this punishment had been any other time, it would have been a very heavy punishment. Suspension of classes and duties was a punishment that would only be meted out when a serious mistake was committed. But for the trouble that Zhang Ye had caused today, it seemed like the punishment was a little light?

This was only a suspension?

Wasn't it a dismissal? Wasn't it an expulsion?

When Zhang Ye heard the punishment, he heaved a sigh of relief. This punishment was still within the range of what he could accept. He really did not want to lose his status as a Peking University teacher. It was not just because of the title and reputation, but because of the time he had spent in school with the students, he had fallen in love with this place. He had fallen in love with the campus, and he had fallen in love with every cute student of Peking University. So of course, he did not want to leave just like that. Although the suspension did not mean that he was despised, and there was a possibility that he might even be dismissed, but at least it kept Zhang Ye's hope alive. This meant that there was still a possibility that he could resume his classes in the future!

Chang Kaige looked at him, "Hai, you!"

The department secretary, Zhen Shuquan, was also exasperated that Zhang Ye did not live up to his expectations, "It's only the first day of school and you've already caused such a big mess. You can't even go back to class anymore, all because of a slip of the tongue. Don't you think you've suffered a loss?"

Suffered a loss?

But Zhang Ye did not think so!

He did not dare to say what he wanted to say. He did not dare to do what he wanted to do. If that was the case, then his entire life would be a loss. He would have to hold it in even in his coffin!

Chang Kaige said, "Go home and rest for a few days. Secretary Zhen and I will help you deal with the school's side and try to persuade them to give you some leeway. But even if you can resume your classes in the future, it will not be possible in a short period of time. I think you will have to wait until next semester. You have to be mentally prepared."

Zhang Ye immediately said, "Thank you, Dean Chang. Thank you, Secretary Zhen. Look at the mess I've caused and the two of you have to worry about me. It's alright, I'm fine. I'll accept the punishment."

Since he had done this, Zhang Ye was already prepared to bear the consequences. Anyway... it was not the first time. This fellow's expression was very calm, as though he did not mind it at all. If this punishment had happened to any other Peking University teacher, they would probably have fainted. They would have felt as though the sky had fallen on them and that they had reached a dead end. But Zhang Ye was different. He was a veteran. Suspension? Dismissal? Banning? Going to jail? What had he not done before? So this fellow's mental fortitude was clearly not something an ordinary person could compare to!

Di di.

A text message came in.

Zhang Ye took a look and saw that it was a message from Dean Pan from the School of Mathematical Sciences.

There was only one line of words: "The title of associate professor will not be revoked. It's still yours. Take a break for a while. Everyone is waiting for you to come back."

The title of associate professor will not be revoked?

Zhang Ye knew that Pan Yang must have spoken up for him. Otherwise, with such a grave mistake, he would not have been able to keep his title of associate professor. Of course, it might also have something to do with Dale's Conjecture. This kind of international mathematical conjecture was too significant. Even if Zhang Ye had committed a grave mistake, even Peking University would not dare to negate his results. It was probably because of this that he had not been revoked. Peking University had considered many aspects and decided to leave some leeway when they decided to punish him. Peking University was still protecting him. Although those school leaders had nearly been angered to death by him, in the end, they still had the intention of protecting him. From a certain point of view, this punishment could be considered as an explanation to the outside world and to the public.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Ye quickly packed up the things on his desk. He did not have too many loose ends, so he picked them up and said, "Alright, I'm leaving."

Su Na was more emotional and her eyes reddened. "Teacher Zhang."

Professor Zeng was also not in a good mood. "Hai."

A young teacher from the Chinese department said, "Without you around, I really can't get used to it." Ever since Zhang Ye came to Peking University, he had brought a lot of drama to the Chinese department, but also brought a lot of joy. Usually, some of the teachers did not have a good relationship with Zhang Ye and did not speak much to him, but when they saw that Zhang Ye was about to leave, they felt a little disappointed.

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "It's fine. Who knows, I might be able to come back in the future. When that time comes, we can all work together again. I have a bad temper and always cause trouble, but as you all know, I'm not a bad person. I always say what I want to say. In the past, some of us had a good relationship, and some of us did not talk much. I want to thank everyone for taking care of me during my time at Peking University."

Su Na turned around and secretly wiped away a tear. It would have been better if Zhang Ye did not mention this, but now that he mentioned it, she could not help it. In Peking University, Su Na could be said to be Zhang Ye's closest colleague. They were not only colleagues, but also very good friends in private.

Professor Wu said, "Come back soon. We're all waiting for you."

A middle-aged female teacher nodded. "Right, we're all waiting for you."

"Let's go. Let's go downstairs together." Professor Zeng said.

Chang Kaige said, "Let's go. Everyone will send you off."
