Chapter 73: Too excited~~

d slightly and felt somewhat embarrassed."Okay, you can buy phones, but don’t scare Xiaobai anymore." Hao Ren said."Alright, we know!" Lu Linni happily showed a smile.Hao Ren was also bored at home. H...Chapter 73 Too excited~~

Haha, I checked the rankings yesterday and found that the books ranking high are indeed well-written~~ Although Xiao Long's book is not in a high position and doesn't have a large group of dedicated fans like some others, Xiao Long feels very content with the sincere readers who support 'Dragon Son-In-Law' ~~ Uh, seeing everyone else shouting and charging forward with excitement on the rankings, poor Xiao Long hanging at the bottom simply can't muster up the same enthusiasm...

Hao Zhonghua's speech ended, and then it was his wife, Yue Yang's, scientific lecture.

Dressed in simple black suit, Yue Yang exuded a rugged charm. Her gaze was firm, her tone clear, reminiscent of the portraits of Madame Curie hung in middle school corridors.

Her lecture topic was about ecological research on the poorest regions of Africa and Lesotho, one of the highest countries in the world by altitude. This three-year study earned her the prestigious Gruber Prize in Women's Science, as she proposed an effective plan for growing food crops that integrates local environmental conditions with national circumstances, aiming to solve severe famine issues there.

During her lecture, no one spoke out of turn; professors furrowed their brows listening intently and taking notes, while students were equally focused on absorbing every word.

From the local environment to politics, living conditions, impact of ecology on industries, scientific solutions for poor soil through three- and five-year plans... Yue Yang narrated vividly, revealing the poverty, backwardness, and hopes for development in this struggling land.

"Truly great..." Xie Yujia beside Hao Ren whispered.

Hao Ren also listened intently, no longer as distracted as before.

The one-hour lecture concluded to thunderous applause that lasted more than five minutes. Yue Yang bowed slightly to the audience and stepped down from the stage.

The principal took the stage again to conclude his remarks.

At this moment, Xie Yujia rummaged through her small bag and pulled out two books. Anxiously, she told Hao Ren, "Wait for me, I need you to help me rush over there! I want their autographs!"

"What" Hao Ren looked at her in confusion.

"Never mind, just follow me and run over there when the time comes," Xie Yujia said as she handed one of the books to Hao Ren.

Just then, the principal announced from the stage, "To allow everyone a closer interaction with Academician Hao and Academician Ye, both academicians agreed that after this lecture ends, students can line up for their autographs using their published scientific works. However, due to the large number of people present today, each student is limited to signing one book. Also, please maintain order to uphold our school's image."

Academician Hao Zhonghua and Academician Ye Yang were escorted out of the lecture hall by a group of people while the mayor and deputy mayors followed them behind with much laughter.

The students surged towards the door like an unleashed flood despite the principal's request to maintain order.

Xie Yujia tugged on Hao Ren’s hand and ran out, it was unbelievable how she had so much energy for such a thin girl.

Although they were seated in the front row of Section Three, Xie Yujia and Hao Ren could only manage to line up behind around one hundred people.

The postgraduates and doctoral candidates had prepared by bringing along books published by both academicians. They also sat near the door so they ran ahead faster than others.

Xie Yujia, panting heavily with her cheeks flushed red, stood at the back of the line while Hao Ren’s arm, which was being tugged at by Xie Yujia, now bore five finger marks. He felt somewhat helpless standing next to her.

Even a strict and serious class monitor could be so adorable… Hao Ren thought looking at her rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes full of expectation.

Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang sit behind the long table, smiling as they greet each student who approaches for an autograph.

Mighty city leaders did not leave out of respect but stood within the area formed by the long table, watching with smiles as students lined up for their signatures.

Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang sat to sign while the leaders humbly stood nearby without rushing off; this gesture had a profound meaning in media eyes.

For a moment, flashlights flickered continuously. Cameras captured not just the enthusiastic scene of students lining up for signatures but also the respectful demeanor of the city leaders towards scientists.

The presence of the city leaders to personally listen to lectures from both academicians was already significant support. Standing by during the autograph session further elevated Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang’s status.

These two were world-renowned scientists; even city leaders of Donghai City showed such respect. If anyone dared offend these esteemed scientists in the future, it would be tantamount to opposing the municipal government!

The presence of these two top-tier scientists greatly boosted Donghai City’s scientific research, fostering the development of high-tech and environmental industries while enhancing the city's image—something that billions couldn't buy!

The line for autographs slowly moved forward. Xie Yujia, tapping her toes impatiently, was frustrated at being unable to get closer to her idol.

After half an hour of waiting, they finally approached the long table; as several PhD students left after brief exchanges with the academicians, it was finally Hao Ren and Xie Yujia's turn for autographs.

Xie Yujia held her book and rushed over. Seeing Hao Ren lagging behind, she called out impatiently, "Hao Ren! Hurry up!"

As class president, there was no politeness in her tone; naturally, she had been waiting anxiously for this rare chance to get autographs from both idols.

Hao Ren quickened his pace and awkwardly approached Xie Yujia. Across the long table, Xie Yujia faced Hao Zhonghua while Hao Ren faced Yue Yang.

"Academician Hao, I am your devoted reader! All the books you've written, I have purchased them all! Unfortunately, today I can only get one signed, as I only brought one book!" Having finally had a chance to be close to her idol, Xie Yujia couldn't help but blurt out cheerfully.

"Hehe, great." Hao Zhonghua took the book from Xie Yujia's hand and flipped it open to the title page. He then picked up a pen and swiftly signed his name on it.

At the same time, Yue Yang raised her head to look at the silent Academician Hao across the table and also turned to the title page of her book before signing her own name.

"Academician Yue, I am also a fan of yours! Your books, I have read them all!" Having received the signature from Hao Zhonghua and feeling satisfied, Xie Yujia then addressed Yue Yang.

"Hehe, is that so." Yue Yang smiled gracefully at Xie Yujia while taking this opportunity to thoroughly examine her from head to toe.

Right as Xie Yujia was excitedly looking at them but didn't know what to say and hesitating whether to leave or not, Academician Hao suddenly asked, "Is that your boyfriend over there"

"Huh" Xie Yujia froze for a moment. Then, likely due to nervousness, she blurted out in reply, "Not yet!"

Hearing this response from Xie Yujia, Hao Ren was slightly taken aback and his body quivered.

"Hehe." Hao Zhonghua chuckled. Looking at Xie Yujia's pretty and enthusiastic face, he didn't say anything further.

"Two students, after getting your signatures, please move forward." A student responsible for maintaining order approached Xie Yujia and Academician Hao to speak.

It was only then that Xie Yujia realized she could no longer linger around. She gave a dazzling smile towards both Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang before grabbing the dazed Academician Hao's hand and dragging him out of the signing area.

"Mine!" Seeing that Hao Ren held Yue Yang’s book, fearing he might damage it, Xie Yujia quickly took the signed book from him and carefully placed both the books—Academician Hao Zhonghua's and Academician Yue Yang's—into her small bag.e second was a golden peach exuding rich靈氣.
