Chen Guang found the things that other people liked boring.
Fortunately, I caught these two pretentious old fools. Otherwise, I would have wasted my entire morning.
If he hadn't come today, these two wouldn't have had the chance to act pretentious, but they would still not take him seriously in their hearts. Even if he won the championship, he would still have to give them money. Just thinking about it made him feel as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
Now, his thoughts were quite clear. It was as if he had been constipated for a long time.
Huang Changming didn't give him the chance to pee. He stared at him the whole time. After all, the main seat in the center of the podium was too conspicuous. It would be too much of a bummer if someone was missing from the podium while the others were talking about the thesis.
Chen Guang had no choice but to change his mind. He planned to leave after the meeting was over.
Chu Zijin sat behind Chen Guang and pointed her phone at the back of Chen Guang's head. Although she didn't major in linguistics, she was still very interested in the research results shared by these scholars.
On the other hand, Chen Guang's livestream was filled with sorrow, and the number of viewers was also dropping.
The reason was simple. The thesis was in English. Most people couldn't understand it, and there was no simultaneous translation.
Moreover, even if they could understand it, they would find it boring if they weren't in the relevant industry.
Even Chen Guang felt uncomfortable sitting in his chair, not to mention the other viewers who could only look at the back of his head.
"Yawn …"
Chen Guang couldn't hold it in. He opened his mouth wide and yawned. Tears even came out of his eyes.
Huang Changming was very embarrassed. He whispered, "Mr. Chen, hold on a little longer. When Butler Gaye finishes his thesis, it will be lunch break."
Chen Guang was rubbing his eyes. When he heard it was Butler's thesis, he suddenly became energetic. "That guy has a thesis too? What's it about? "
Huang Changming opened the conference proceedings. "Mr. Chen, it's all written here. It's a study of the Sangmo tribe in the Amazon of South America."
When Chen Guang flipped to this page, his eyes slowly brightened.
Huang Changming got goosebumps from the look in his eyes. He already had experience with this. President Chen seemed to be happy, which meant that he was up to no good!
"Interesting, very interesting!"
Chen Guang whispered as he watched.
Huang Changming broke out in a cold sweat. "Are you alright?"
Chen Guang ignored him and turned to look at Butler Gay, who was also on the podium and five or six people away from him.
Coincidentally, that guy was also sneaking a peek at Chen Guang.
Sparks flew as their gazes met.
Butler Gaye raised his eyebrows provocatively. He then looked at the thesis collection in his hand and gestured at Chen Guang. His meaning couldn't be more obvious. "Take a good look, kid. This is my academic achievement. What do you have?"
Chen Guang's smile widened.
As an honorary professor at Oxford, Butler Gaye's main purpose in attending this conference was to participate in the competition and earn some prize money. However, with his status in the academic world, since he was already here, he certainly could not come empty-handed. He had to say something at the conference so that his reputation would not be tarnished.
It just so happened that his recent research had just matured. It was just right for him to choose to present the relevant thesis at the world's highest academic conference.
The content of his thesis came from an endangered indigenous language called Sangmo that he discovered five years ago during his research in South America.
As a "brand-new" language that had just been discovered, the Sangmo language was very representative and had typical research value. Unlike other South American languages, this indigenous language was easy to use. It could be communicated with extremely simple words and sounds, and it had formed a script that was completely different from the Latin family.
If this small language could be successfully organized and perfected, on the one hand, it could enrich the variety of human languages. On the other hand, it could also help other people to study and further improve the Esperanto that had not yet been popularized.
As the discoverer of this language and the first linguist to systematically organize and study it, Butler Gaye was worthy of his status as a permanent member of the Esperanto Association to present this result at the world's highest level conference. Even if there were others who followed up on the research, they would be a few months behind him and their progress would be lagging behind. They could only supplement his research results.
Of course, he had the right to be proud.
Didn't this guy named Chen Guang say that he had no talent?
I'll show you what it means to be a scholar and what it means to have a standard!
"Thank you, everyone. That's all for my speech."
The previous speaker finally ended his speech that made Chen Guang drowsy. Sparse applause sounded.
Obviously, this guy's thesis did not attract much attention. At best, it was just a fill-in.
Butler stood up from his chair and strode straight to the main podium.
His steps were firm and he was in high spirits. He knew how valuable the thesis in his hand was. He could even imagine what kind of applause he would receive after he finished speaking.
If there were no surprises, this result of his should be one of the highest achievements in the world of linguistics this year.
At that time, even if he did not leave his name in the history of the world, at least in the world of linguistics, his status would be greatly improved.
Next year would be the time for the re-election of the Esperanto Association. The old president would also reach the retirement age. He had been in the position of a permanent member for many years. It was time for him to take a step forward.
"Although Butler is a very annoying person, it can't be denied that his research results are indeed very valuable. Just looking at the simple things written in the summary of his thesis is enough to attract people. It can be regarded as a major academic achievement of this year."
Huang Changming looked at Butler's back and cautiously said to Chen Guang.
Chen Guang chuckled and flipped through the collection of theses disinterestedly. "Is it a major one? Then there will be a discussion session after he finishes speaking, right? "
Huang Changming said anxiously, "Yes, there will be about 15 to 20 minutes of Q&A time."
"Oh, very good."
Chen Guang snorted and stopped talking. Instead, he began to close his eyes and rest.
Huang Changming's heart was pounding. He had a feeling that something was going to happen, but he could not guess what Chen Guang was thinking, so it was not appropriate for him to ask.
Chu Zijin placed the phone behind Chen Guang. The private conversation between the two was recorded by the phone and transmitted to the ears of countless live broadcast viewers. These viewers were more knowledgeable.
"Although I don't know what Brother Almighty wants to do, it can't be anything good."
"I think so too. He will definitely cause trouble. If he doesn't cause trouble, he is not Brother Almighty."
"Whatever, I will mourn for that Barrett for three seconds."
"Upstairs, his name is Butler Gaye. He is a world-famous linguist, not Barrett. You have been led into the ditch by Brother Almighty."
"The ditch is quite warm. I don't want to come up."
"It's so boring. Why don't everyone send gifts and ask Brother Almighty to sing a song? I don't think I have ever heard him sing."
"Don't! We are on the same side! Please don't! I was fortunate enough to hear him sing once when I was young. It has only been a month or two, but my friend said I have aged ten years. "
"That scary? Isn't he called Brother Almighty? There are people who don't know how to sing? He plays the piano so well, how can he not know how to sing? "
"I'm not joking. This is real. God opened the blinds for him and then closed the shutter door for him. When it comes to singing, Brother Almighty is really not omnipotent. You can't even say that he is incompetent. He is simply evil! He can make the entire world of Azeroth tremble! "
In order to stop others from trying to get Chen Guang to sing, the fans in the live broadcast room had turned into flamers. They were also doing their best.
Although Chen Guang's live broadcast room was not as popular as usual, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. There were at least a million viewers, so the number of comments was quite terrifying.
This was the sign that he had truly transformed from a phenomenal internet celebrity into a star.
On the other side, Butler was in high spirits as he used a cadence to talk about his research.
He was indeed very skilled. In his entire academic report, he used concise and concise language to outline the language of the Sangmo tribe, presenting it to the world.
His report was able to arouse the interest of others without exposing the core results of his research.
More importantly, he clearly told everyone that he only needed a little more than a year to completely master the Sangmo language. Even if others followed up on their research, they would only be able to eat his dust.
"He got a great bargain. Anyone can do something like this, but he just happened to run into it."
Huang Changming didn't like what he heard. He was filled with envy and jealousy, but at the same time, perhaps he wanted to please Chen Guang, so he said this on purpose.
Chen Guang smiled indifferently. "It's not necessarily a bargain. I think he is still far from it."
"Huh?"
Huang Changming didn't understand.
Chen Guang waved his hand. "You'll know later. The Sangmo language isn't that simple."
"President Chen, you know it?"
Chen Guang snorted. "I know a thing or two."
I'm afraid you'll be scared to death if I say it out loud. This Sangmo language, which is almost obsolete in the eyes of others, is mastered by no more than 20,000 people, is actually like my mother tongue to me!
Chu Zijin, who was behind the two of them, silently rolled her eyes. She held the microphone and muttered softly, "You're really boasting. You can't possibly know all the languages in this world, right?"
Countless people in Chen Guang's live broadcast room were also laughing and making a ruckus.
"Brother All-Rounder is getting more and more shameless."
"I like how shameless he is."
Chen Guang turned around and glanced at her, then looked at his phone and smiled at the camera. Then, his face suddenly became extremely serious and gloomy.
Chu Zijin felt goosebumps when she saw his expression. She thought to herself, He can't be so petty, right?
She had only teased him by saying that he was boasting shamelessly. Did he have to be like this?
Chen Guang snorted. "Hmph! You know too much! "
Chu Zijin: "…"
The live comments: "…"
His left and right hand in front of the live broadcast, the two deputy directors of the Guangding General Administration, Wu Tong, Tang Ying, and Lin Jingwei from Gokyo University all let out a pfft.
F * ck, he's so pretentious.
