There were already more than 10 young people in the hall, all dressed in formal attire. The girls, on the other hand, were competing with each other for attention. They would not neglect their appearance just because they loved to study. This was the nature of women. That kind of scholarly otaku was a thing of the past, and it was evident from Xiao Fei.
The two people he met at the restaurant last time also came forward.
"Lambo, Moore Star, winner of the Biological Contribution Award." Lambo smiled. Moore Star belonged to the Andromeda Constellation.
"Terry, Internet Information Contribution Award, Sagittarius Spectrum Star. I've heard a lot about you."
The three of them looked at Wang Zheng like they were looking at an animal.
Nicoise smiled. "Wang Zheng is the pride of Earth. He won the highest award this time. We can't compare to him. Everyone should work hard to learn from him."
As he spoke, he wanted to pat Wang Zheng's shoulder, but Wang Zheng quietly stepped aside.
This was the kind of person Wang Zheng hated the most. The moment they met, they would act like Wang Zheng was their little brother.
Nicoise was stunned. He did not expect Wang Zheng to not give him face. But he quickly recovered. "Everyone, this is Wang Zheng."
The others looked at Wang Zheng coldly and sized him up. Then they went back to their own topics, not taking him seriously at all.
Nicoise shrugged helplessly. "Don't mind them. Everyone here is favored by the heavens. They are a little angry at you for being the champion."
Wang Zheng smiled. "Complaining will not help them grow. Looks like they still need more training."
What's more, Wang Zheng wasn't here to bicker. He casually found a seat and sat down. There was food and drinks. As usual, he would leave after eating. Since he was already here, Xiao Fei probably wouldn't blame him.
"This kid is quite arrogant."
"He's just trying to hide his inferiority complex. Nicoise, if you were on Earth, there would be no place for him."
"Nicoise has already been approved to immigrate to Roland Garros. Why would he go to such a place?"
Nicoise looked slightly unhappy. He had always been unhappy with his Earthling background. He was now a citizen of Roland Garros.
"Let me tell you a secret. Tonight, there will be a big shot. Just wait and see."
"Oh, who? Just wait and see."
"That kid really has an appetite. Should we go and tease him?"
"Forget it. This is our gathering. The mentors will be here soon. Let him stay there."
Nicoise glanced at the corner. He felt that this was just a mangy dog. It was a bit degrading to abuse it.
Wang Zheng ate very happily. In such an occasion, other than eating and drinking well, there was nothing else interesting. The surrounding people were chatting and pointing at Wang Zheng.
It was no wonder that Wang Zheng was being talked about. He had won the highest award for university students in the Milky Way Alliance. However, what was different from the others was that he had appeared out of nowhere, while the others had years of results and theses.
Obviously, these people thought that this was the result of Xiao Fei's guidance. What kind of ability was that?
Wang Zheng was too lazy to explain. Let them say what they wanted. It was not like he was losing a piece of meat.
At this moment, a girl in a pink dress walked over with a glass of champagne.
"Are you Student Wang Zheng?"
Wang Zheng raised his head. "I think it's me."
The girl covered her mouth and laughed. "You're quite humorous. We all thought you wouldn't come."
"Why?" Wang Zheng laughed. This girl was about the same age as him.
"Hehe, I've just received insider news. This time, the highest award will be given by Princess Aina herself. You've already been the focus of attention, but now, the hatred has deepened. They're trying their best to get to know Princess Aina."
"Oh." Wang Zheng's heart warmed. After a moment of surprise, he understood that Aina must have come because she knew that he was coming.
"Oh, that's it?" The girl pushed her glasses and sat down. "Let's get to know each other. I'm Xie Yating from the Republic of Caragal. Bioengineering."
"Hello, Wang Zheng. Earth. Physics." Wang Zheng said. "We can be considered fellow countrymen here."
"Yes, your dress is very nice."
"Is that so? I think so too. However, they seem to look down on people from the Solar System." Xie Yating said. She had prepared meticulously for today. She did not expect that after coming here, these people would all look like they were favored by the heavens. They were not here to make friends. They were here to show off.
"We don't need them to look up to us." Wang Zheng ate by himself. Xie Yating placed a glass of wine in Wang Zheng's hand. Wang Zheng happened to be a little choked and drank it in one gulp.
"You are quite a philosophical person. They are deliberately giving you the cold shoulder. Before you came, this bunch of people were talking about how to take you down a notch. They all said that you relied on …" Xie Yating suddenly covered her mouth, a little embarrassed.
Wang Zheng swallowed a mouthful of fish. "Relied on a teacher. Isn't it normal for students to rely on their teachers?"
Student Wang was very calm. He had long known that this would be the kind of atmosphere. It was really out of place. Perhaps he had never been suited for scientific research. This bunch of people were too arrogant. It was still the Mecha Department that was more practical.
"Xie Yating, come over. What's there to talk about with him?" Two well-dressed girls walked over and said. Wang Zheng was directly ignored. It was as if talking to Wang Zheng would lower their status.
"I'm fine here," Xie Yating said.
The two girls looked at each other and turned to leave indifferently. "Quite a match."
"Of course. Only she would wear such an old-fashioned pink."
"Without her, how can we show off our elegance?"
Although their voices were very soft, Wang Zheng still heard it clearly. Xie Yating also heard a little.
"They are all little kids. This caviar is not bad," Wang Zheng said.
Xie Yating looked at Wang Zheng. "You are quite broad-minded. Not bad. You have met an interesting person. What are you going to do later?"
"The teacher is here, so I'll leave. My friends are still waiting outside."
"This time, I heard that there will be authorities from various fields coming. Moreover, it is a private occasion. It is a good opportunity to communicate." Xie Yating looked very regretful.
"My ambition is not here. I will transfer to the Mecha Department next year," Wang Zheng said as he ate.
Pfft …
Xie Yating could not help but spit champagne all over Wang Zheng's face. Student Wang's skills were not bad, but he only dodged halfway. This …
"Aiya, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. How could you transfer? Why would the school agree?"
Xie Yating hurriedly took out a tissue to help Wang Zheng wipe. "I'm really sorry."
It was such an important occasion, but his clothes were dirty. Xie Yating was also a little helpless.
Wang Zheng casually waved his hand. "It's okay. I am just here to go through the motions. I will leave in a while."
At this moment, there was a commotion in the hall. Xiao Fei, Marcus, and three middle-aged men walked in together.
Dozens of students present surrounded them. This time, Xiao Fei and Marcus were in the limelight. They looked down on Wang Zheng, but they could worship Xiao Fei. This breakthrough made Xiao Fei known as a physicist who crossed the century. One must know that only physicists could become the greatest scientists. Until now, there was no other field that could replace them.
Moreover, Xiao Fei was so young. Indeed, he was in the limelight.
Together with Marcos and Xiao Fei were three authoritative figures in other fields. It was obvious that they were very familiar with each other. Xiao Fei had come prepared this time. He needed the help of experts in various fields, such as material science, to convert theory into reality.
At this moment, the group of young people who were just putting on airs were extremely humble and low-key. Each and every one of them was so sincere.
"Wang Zheng, I am going over." Xie Yating also had the heart to chase after her idol. If she missed this opportunity, it might be difficult to encounter it again.
Wang Zheng nodded. To him, this was all very normal. As long as no one was bored enough to find trouble with him, it would be fine.
Xiao Fei looked over. Wang Zheng gestured and pointed outside, indicating that he was going to leave.
"Professor Dong, that is Wang Zheng. Haven't you always wanted to know him?"
The middle-aged man surnamed Dong's gaze turned cold. "Oh, is that so? I have heard of him many times. I want to see how outstanding he is."
Seeing Xiao Fei waving, Wang Zheng could only walk over helplessly.
"Wang Zheng, this is Professor Dong Xuewu. He is now a leading figure in the field of space physics." Xiao Fei blinked slightly.
Wang Zheng was helpless. He had fallen into a pit again. If he had known, he would not have come. Now, whenever he heard the words "leading figure", he would be afraid.
"Kid, I heard from Xiao Fei that the idea for the breakthrough in space positioning came from you. And on the way here, you had some ideas?" Dong Xuewu said.
"It's all because of the two professors' good teaching. I didn't have any ideas."
Wang Zheng did not want to show off here. Otherwise, he would definitely be questioned by a group of people. Moreover, one look at the other party's posture and he knew that they were looking for trouble.
"Professor, Student Wang Zheng is too humble. When I met Student Wang Zheng the day before yesterday, he was not like this. He has a lot of ideas about the current field of physics."
Nicoise suddenly said and even gave Wang Zheng a sincere smile.
Wang Zheng did not expect this kid to be so cunning. He was really an expert.
If he retorted at this time, others would definitely think that he was hypocritical.
"Oh, Xiao Fei, your disciple is really arrogant. In the current field of physics, even I dare not say that," Dong Xuewu said lightly.
Wang Zheng seemed to have felt something. Xiao Fei's recent reputation might have made Dong Xuewu feel pressured. This guy was specially here to put on airs. It was often said that academic battles were no less than the battlefield, and even more cunning. Now it seemed that it was true.
"Senior Dong, not only the current field of physics, but the entire scientific field is full of talents. There are so many of them here." Wang Zheng smiled, not the slightest bit angry.
Trying to anger him with such a small trick was too childish.
The other professors actually understood the atmosphere and did not want to make things awkward.
"Wang Zheng, although you have achieved some results, you still have to be humble. Especially you have to learn more from the professors."
"Hmph, the path of science needs to be solid and rigorous. Look at you, not dressed properly in a formal occasion. How can such a person be a good scholar!"
Dong Xuewu was not polite. He was not only trying to knock Wang Zheng down, but also taking the opportunity to embarrass Xiao Fei. His meaning was to tell Xiao Fei that although he had achieved some results, he was the big shot.
Xie Yating, who was being squeezed outside, was a little anxious. A physics student had offended Dong Xuewu. His future path was as good as broken.
