Chapter 184 Invisible Contest
Everyone ended this unique seminar on ancient etiquette with heated discussions.
Su Yao smiled as she sent the last expert away and gently closed the door. She breathed a sigh of relief, and collapsed on the sofa as if her bones had been taken out.
"Thank you for your hard work, Su Yao. You did a great job today! I didn't expect you could say so much about etiquette! It's really impressive!"
Wu Mengqi walked quickly to Su Yao, squatted down gently, gently massaged Su Yao's shoulders with both hands, and said with admiration:
"Su Yao, you don't know how respectful those experts were looking at you today! I was so proud to be next to you."
"The ancient etiquette knowledge you described seems to have taken us back to ancient times, allowing us to witness those solemn and elegant scenes with our own eyes."
Wu Mengqi stood up, poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Su Yao, then said:
"Also, Su Yao, every time you start explaining those complicated etiquette details, the entire conference room is so quiet that only your voice can be heard. Everyone is deeply attracted by you."
"I think that being able to work with you is the greatest luck in my life!"
At this time, other staff members in the villa also gathered around. Some brought fresh fruits, some handed over warm towels, and everyone praised Su Yao.
"Ms. Su Yao, your performance today is so outstanding. It has opened up new ideas for our research work!"
"That's right, your presence is invaluable to our research on ancient humanities and history!"
Su Yao, who originally didn't take it seriously, gradually had a bright smile on her face and a sense of accomplishment in her heart as she heard the sincere praise.
She sat up straight and said with a firm look, "I am very happy to be able to help everyone. I will continue to work hard in the future!"
……
At the same time, Professor Song returned to the villa where he was staying temporarily. He had just sat down and had not had time to drink a sip of water when his cell phone rang.
"Hello, professor, this is Xiao Li." A young and anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
Professor Song frowned, "Xiao Li, what's the hurry?"
"Professor, I found a host who explained ancient etiquette very well and rigorously! I sent you the replay link, you must take a look!" Xiao Li said excitedly.
Professor Song smiled disapprovingly and said, "Oh, how good can it be? I just attended an unconventional seminar today and gained a lot from it." But he still clicked on the link as he spoke.
In the video, the anchor Lin Yuxi was talking: "Dear friends, today we are going to talk about ancient etiquette. Take the bowing ceremony for example. Men make a fist with their right hand and cover their right hand with their left hand, while women do the opposite. This is a common greeting etiquette that expresses respect and friendship. ..."
Professor Song's originally careless expression gradually became focused, his eyes widened and the water cup in his hand almost slipped.
"This... How could this be!" He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It's actually similar to what Su Yao said, and it's more systematic!"
Being able to speak like this, this girl obviously has a good knowledge of ancient etiquette!
He stood up and paced back and forth in the room, feeling surprised and confused.
"No, I have to study Lin Yuxi's explanation carefully." Professor Song sat back in his chair and read it attentively, nodding in praise from time to time.
……
After watching it several times, Professor Song still felt unsatisfied. He felt that he could not watch it alone, so he immediately took out his cell phone and called the old friends who had just separated.
"Hey, Lao Chen, come to me quickly, I have made an important discovery!" Professor Song's voice was anxious and excited.
"Old Song, what's the matter? Why are you so anxious?" Old Chen on the other end of the phone asked puzzledly.
"Don't talk too much, you'll know when you get here, I guarantee you'll be surprised!" Professor Song said and hung up the phone.
After a while, several old friends came to Professor Song's room one after another.
"Old Song, what's the matter?" Old Li yelled as soon as he entered the door.
Professor Song didn't say anything, but directly turned on the live broadcast playback on the computer and said, "Take a look at this first."
Everyone gathered around, their eyes fixed on the screen. As Lin Yuxi's explanation continued, their expressions changed from indifference at first to becoming more and more serious, and finally, like Professor Song, their faces were full of surprise.
"This is really amazing!" Professor Chen exclaimed, his eyes fixed on the screen, "A little girl actually has such insights."
Professor Song nodded and agreed with this. "I was surprised that the ancient Su Yao could explain etiquette to such an extent, but I didn't expect that Lin Yuxi's explanation would make me look at her with new eyes."
"Yes, such novel views and profound insights actually came from the mouth of a young girl." Professor Li couldn't help but sigh.
"And the way of explaining it is also very exquisite. With the actors' on-site rehearsal, it is a perfect reproduction. It can make the etiquette class so interesting and not boring at all."
Professor Wang was also amazed by what he saw. He occasionally gave lectures at the university and was very sensitive to this aspect.
"This kind of educational and entertaining model can be incorporated into university experience classes. Didn't some universities organize anti-Japanese script-killing experience classes when they were teaching Japanese?"
"Can we also add this kind of large-scale ancient costume drama to let students experience the beauty of ancient etiquette?"
“If university classrooms can be so innovative, why worry about knowledge not being vivid and students not being focused?”
"Making knowledge no longer dull and making learning a kind of enjoyment, this is the charm of education!"
Everyone fell into deep thought after hearing this suggestion. The first impression people have of their history department is that it is dull. Perhaps they should also improve their teaching methods in a timely manner to keep up with the trend?
However, some professors quickly came to their senses. They were teaching graduate students, so what was the point of talking about fashion? This old Wang was just leading people astray. But they could talk about this matter with a few students at the university!
If it can really be introduced and stimulate students' interest in learning, it will be a good thing!
At this time, Lao Zhou, who had been silent, spoke up: "Who is this girl? Why haven't I heard of her before?"
It is impossible for a person to have such profound attainments by being an unknown person, and he is still so young. Which family did he inherit this skill from? Is there a successor?
Everyone looked at each other, all bewildered. Some frowned and thought hard, while others scratched their heads and looked around, trying to get answers from others. However, everyone's eyes revealed doubts and confusion, and in the end, they could only shake their heads helplessly.
For a moment, the whole room fell into silence, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward and solemn.
Lao Zhou looked at the reactions of the crowd and sighed in disappointment, with a look of disappointment that was difficult to conceal. He had been expecting to get more clues about the girl from his colleagues, but he didn't expect that no one knew anything.
Professor Wang's assistant Xiao Lin knew a little bit about the inside story. He said, "Dear professors, Lin Yuxi was a student in the History Department of our Hua University. She was very outstanding. When she graduated, Professor Hong wanted to recruit her to the research room, but she didn't want to."
"Why not?" everyone asked in unison.
Assistant Xiao Lin pushed up his glasses and continued, "It is said that Lin Yuxi is a famous time travel fan. She will study and research anything related to time travel, and she is not interested in anything else."
Everyone looked at each other, and Lao Chen frowned and said, "This hobby is quite special."
Lao Wang stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "But the fact that she can study the history of time travel so thoroughly shows that she is indeed talented."
"Then what should we do? Just watch?" Old Li looked at everyone.
Professor Song sat back in his chair, thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, we should follow her account first and see what else she can say. If there is real material, we must bring her into our research no matter what."
"I agree with Lao Song's opinion." Lao Zhou nodded.
Others agreed.
They said that Lao Hong had narrowed the path. It was not easy to combine research with time travel! Which of the things they studied was not the history and humanities after time travel?
Now it depends on how capable this girl is and how much effort they put in!
