As soon as Zhang Zhaodi finished speaking, they saw the principal stand up and personally welcome an elderly man inside.
Gu Lingling knew this elderly man too.
Isn’t it Mr. Zhou?
"Who’s that person?" Tong Sha asked Zhang Zhaodi curiously.
Zhang Zhaodi, known for her gossip expertise, and being a native of the Capital City, had some knowledge about Kyoto University. She cleared her throat and said, "That person, he’s quite impressive, he’s Professor Zhou from the Archaeology Department."
"Professor Zhou had studied abroad and was initially supposed to stay at a prestigious school overseas, but he turned it down and returned to Kyoto University. He’s the soul of Kyoto University."
But because of his time abroad, he was also sent away for some years, and even because of that, his Madam passed away.
It’s said that she was quite extraordinary too.
What a pity.
Everyone suddenly understood.
Gu Lingling watched intently as Mr. Zhou was welcomed by the principal, and as if he sensed something, the old man looked in Gu Lingling’s direction and smiled.
Gu Lingling knew that he saw her.
"Did you see? Professor Zhou just smiled at me," Zhang Zhaodi said excitedly.
Gu Lingling, "..."
Once everyone was present, the opening ceremony quickly began.
First, the principal went up to deliver a welcoming speech, followed by the freshman representative.
The first to go up was Meng Yufei, who seemed familiar to Gu Lingling.
The girl had her long hair tied behind her head and had just stepped up when thunderous applause erupted below.
The girl wasn’t shy at all and gave a slight smile to the enthusiastic audience before she began her speech.
Her voice was also very pleasant.
Zhang Zhaodi, with admiration, hugged her arms and said.
Gu Lingling smiled and nodded.
It was indeed nice.
This is a favored child of the heavens, with an excellent family background, admirable genes, and her own remarkable qualities, truly perfect.
Meng Yufei’s speech was also flawless.
It was inspiring and very moving.
In short, after her speech, she not only received adoring glances from the boys but also envious and admiring looks from the girls.
As expected, the applause was even more intense after Meng Yufei finished her speech.
Next up was another freshman representative, Guan Fangbin from the School of Economics and Management.
Guan Fangbin was a tall, skinny guy, with a very ordinary appearance, but Gu Lingling knew that this seemingly unremarkable boy would bring earth-shattering changes to Hua Country in the future.
Gu Lingling’s hand tightened on her lap.
"This person seems very ordinary," Tong Sha said casually.
Indeed, compared to the dazzling Meng Yufei, Guan Fangbin’s speech was much more humble, just like himself. Even in the future, when he became the richest man in Hua Country, he remained very humble.
Gu Lingling chuckled at this.
Guan Fangbin was very ordinary, but it was this ordinary person who used his charisma to rally many exceptionally talented people to build a kingdom together.
As for Meng Yufei, perhaps due to Guan Fangbin’s formidable achievements, Gu Lingling hadn’t seen her in newspapers or on TV in her previous life.
At the end of the opening ceremony, Gu Lingling saw the principal run up to Mr. Zhou and say something to him.
"Is he going to invite Professor Zhou to give us a talk?" Wen Jing leaned forward and asked.
Shortly after, they saw Mr. Zhou stand up.
