I Am the President of the University

"We are all back, why aren't you at home?"

Mother Chen's voice came from the phone.

Chen Hao walked out, "Mom, I'm busy here at school, you can just live your own world."

I have to say that these two old people are really big-hearted. They went out for a trip and didn’t come back until today. They lived a really cool life.

"What are you talking about? It's almost the Chinese New Year, why are you still working in school?" Mother Chen complained.

"That's it..." Chen Hao hesitated for a moment, and then told what happened at the Optical Core Research Center.

After hearing this, Mother Chen was silent for a moment.

"Well... you handled this matter very well. As the person in charge of the school, you really have to consider multiple aspects." Mother Chen said happily.

"Mom, during the Chinese New Year the day after tomorrow, I want to go to the school to spend the Chinese New Year with the teachers and students, so..." At this point, Chen Hao paused and asked in a consultative tone, "At that time, can our family Eat the New Year’s Eve dinner in advance so that you can stagger the time.”

"no!"

Mother Chen refused without thinking.

Just when Chen Hao was still trying to organize some words of persuasion, Chen's mother's voice sounded next.

"During the Chinese New Year, we have to eat and watch the gala together, otherwise it would be meaningless. Don't miss it. This year, our family can go directly to Guanghua during the Chinese New Year." Mother Chen said nonchalantly.

"Is this okay?" Chen Hao was stunned. He had only thought about how to persuade his mother, but he had never thought of this move.

"Why not? When your grandfather was still here, during the Chinese New Year, he would go to school and spend the New Year with the teachers and students who stayed in school. It just happened to be easier to go together." Mother Chen's voice was high, giving Chen Hao no room to refuse. , hung up directly.

Chen Hao was left standing with a wry smile on his face, so this year's Chinese New Year is really different.

After making the call, Chen Hao went back to deal with the unfinished matters.

It's winter, and night falls earlier.

It's about six o'clock in the evening.

It was dark outside the window, with only the road lit.

Shen Le looked a little distracted, his body motionless.

It wasn't until someone patted him that he came back to his senses.

"Shen Gong, are you okay?"

When Shen Le turned around, he saw that the person who had just photographed him was also a colleague from Tsinghua University, named Zhao Han. He was a few years older than him, but he was very capable and was already a full professor.

"Oh, it's okay, I'm just a little distracted."

"Are you going to see your family soon, are you a little nervous and excited?" Zhao Han seemed to be in a good mood and joked with a smile.

"A bit," Shen Le smiled bitterly, then thought of something and couldn't help but ask, "Professor Zhao has met his family at noon, how do you feel now?"

"How do you feel?" Zhao Han couldn't hide the joy on his face and said with a relaxed smile, "After seeing my wife and children, I just feel that my whole body is full of strength. I can't wait to spin around the research center 24 hours a day."

Seeing Zhao Han's appearance, Shen Le's inner uneasiness could not help but diminish a lot.

After chatting for a few words, the two then devoted themselves to the experiment.

Shen Le, who usually didn't leave the research center until 10 o'clock in the evening, left the research center at around 8 o'clock today after finishing the matters at hand and walked to Guanghua Hotel.

in the room.

Shen Le and a pair of middle-aged men looked at each other.

This pair of middle-aged people looked to be in their fifties. The man was wearing a white shirt and suit without a tie. His temples were slightly white, and he looked like an intellectual.

As for the woman next to her, she is also very cultured in her dress.

These two people are Shen Le's parents, one is a university professor and the other is the deputy director of the research institute. \b

Shen Le lowered his head and whispered guiltily: "Dad, Mom, I have caused trouble to your two elders this year. I left my hometown and came to Ludao to celebrate the New Year. Next year I will definitely..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Father Shen.

"If you don't go back for the Chinese New Year, do you know how old your grandparents are? Why, the Optical Core Research Center won't be able to do research without you, Shen Le?" Father Shen scolded seriously with a straight face.

Just when Shen Le was about to explain, Father Shen's expression softened slightly and he snorted coldly.

"Although you, old man, and I are engaged in biology, I also know the importance of optical cores. It is your honor to be able to participate in this project. Thinking about those national projects back then, even if you have to remain anonymous, even if you face such harsh conditions as the desert, Environment, do you know how many gay people want to go?”

"We are here this time to tell you not to be burdened, to do your research well, and not to betray the country's trust in you." Father Shen warned earnestly.

In the eyes of their older generation, family is important, but the country is more important.

If the state calls you, you will be called back!

Listening to his old father's nagging, Shen Le did not refute, but nodded seriously.

"Dad, I will definitely concentrate on my work. Just wait for the good news!"

…

February 11th, the morning of New Year’s Eve.

The campus of Guanghua University is decorated with lights, and red lanterns are hung on the trees and street lamps on both sides of the road.

While the whole country is immersed in the joyful Chinese New Year atmosphere, the Furong Restaurant at Guanghua University is bustling with people.

Dozens of chefs were busy in the back kitchen of the canteen, and the sound of cooking did not stop.

Chen Hao was watching from the side, and a canteen leader stood beside him.

"Director Zhang, are the ingredients ready?"

Hearing Chen Hao's question, Director Zhang quickly responded: "Principal, don't worry, all the ingredients were available yesterday. A table is equipped with thirteen dishes, a soup, a fruit platter and a dessert."

"Here's the menu."

Chen Hao nodded and took the menu.

【Jade Colorful Platter】

【Spicy winter crab】

【Boiled large prawns】

【Steamed seabass】

【Ginseng slices and frog】

【Crispy Double Squab Pigeon】

…

【Dessert Sago】

There are fish, shrimp, crab and other vegetarian and meat dishes, which are quite rich.

He had seen the menu before, but today he was just looking at it again.

"Is it okay to finish everything before 5 p.m.?" Chen Hao asked.

"No problem, don't worry!" Director Zhang assured.

The main reason is that there are many people attending the New Year's Eve dinner. There are more than 600 researchers and family members of the Optical Core Research Center alone, not to mention more than 100 faculty members and students staying at the school.

There are more than 800 people, and just setting the table requires 70 or 80 people. Moreover, Chen Hao has high requirements for the New Year's Eve dinner. There are sixteen plates on one table, and the ingredients consumed are not a small amount.

Even if there are dozens of kitchen workers, it will take from morning to afternoon to complete.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Don't leave until you finish your work today. Everyone will receive a red envelope."

After Chen Hao finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers from the kitchen.

Although working overtime during the Chinese New Year is tiring, the principal gives me a high salary and gives me red envelopes, so no one is unhappy.

As soon as Chen Hao walked out of the kitchen, he saw a figure walking hurriedly in front of him.

After taking a closer look, I realized it was Ren Hong.
