  The lecture hall was packed with people, and although the largest screening room and lecture hall in Building E had several hundred seats, it still looked like there were not enough seats.

  Xie Yu Jia Sheng was afraid that someone would take their seats, so she pulled Hao Ren and rushed to her designated seat.

  At last, she found her own two empty seats according to the number and pulled Hao Ren's arm to walk in, sat down on the seat, and let out a long sigh.

  It was only then that she realized she had been holding Hao Ren's hand all along, her face quickly turned red as she hastily let go. Her palm was slippery and a bit damp, all because of being too nervous and sweating.

  Hao Ren awkwardly withdrew his hand, wiping the slightly damp palm on his clothes. Just now, he had been pulled by the class monitor and didn't dare to open his mouth to ask her to let go, so he could only be dragged by her all the way inside.

  As Hao Zhonghua stepped onto the stage in front, the originally noisy auditorium suddenly became quiet.

  "Oh no, I forgot to buy water." Xie Yu Jia said suddenly as she sat in her seat.

  "I'm going to buy." Hao Ren hastily stood up.

  "Never mind!" Xie Yu Jia hastily pulled him back, "It's almost starting."

  Hao Ren turned his head and looked at her. Xie Yu Jia suddenly blushed and quickly withdrew her hand again.

  Today seems too excited, why always move hands and feet against him...... Xie Yu Jia blushed, secretly self-examining.

  "Hmm..." Hao Ren sat back down again, but didn't notice Xie Yu Jia's expression.

  For this lecture by Dr. Hao Zhonghua and his wife, the auditorium was divided into three sections.

  The front two rows are reserved for municipal leaders, school leaders, senior professors and the most authoritative scientists in the Donghai region.

  The middle six or seven rows are master's and doctoral students from various universities in Donghai City, many of whom are also the proud disciples of the professors in front. The school has also arranged corresponding seats according to their number.

  The area at the back is reserved for undergraduate students of Donghai University, and as Xie Yujia said, tickets are limited. Xie Yujia managed to get two tickets through the student union, but other students who didn't have seats had to stand.

  However, the seat Xie Yu Jia fought for was not bad, it's in the third area and relatively close to the front row, able to clearly see Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang couple on the stage.

  The entire auditorium was packed to the brim, with students even filling the corridors, and many people were standing on tiptoes looking forward, for fear of not being able to catch a glimpse of these two world-renowned scientists.

  This on-campus speech can be said to have been unprecedented in scale.

  "On this festive day, we are extremely honored to invite the world-renowned scientific couple, Academician Hao Zhonghua and Academician Yue Yang, to our university for a research lecture. Academician Hao Zhonghua and Academician Yue Yang are members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, respectively. They have just returned from Europe and come to our university to give a speech, which is a great honor for our university! Academician Hao Zhonghua has recently won the Gairdner Award, the most prestigious award in the field of biomedicine, while Academician Yue Yang has won the Crafoord Prize, known as the 'Nobel Prize in Ecology' in the scientific community, with her latest climate research. This is a great achievement for our Chinese scientific community..."

  The principal spoke in an emotional tone, narrating his opening speech. While Hao Ren stood beside Xie Yu Jia with her head held high, looking forward, listening with the same emotional excitement, as if it was not Mr. and Mrs. Hao who won the award, but she herself.

  When she turned her head to see Hao Ren's calm face, her expression suddenly changed from excitement to dissatisfaction. She elbowed him and said, "Didn't you hear? They're so awesome! They won two international awards!"

  "Just take the award if you're going to take it, what's so strange about that." Hao Ren said calmly.

  "Ah!" Xie Yu Jia puffed out her cheeks, too lazy to scold him, and continued to stretch her neck forward to look ahead.

  She has read a lot of relevant tech news and knows that the Gairdner Award is also known as "Little Nobel Prize", because in history, one quarter of the winners of the Gairdner Award will later win the Nobel Prize, so this award is also considered to be the "Nobel Prize Reserve".

  The principal finished speaking, and the whole audience erupted in applause.

  The applause was thunderous and prolonged. It wasn't because the principal's speech was good, but because these two world-renowned scientists came to Donghai University to give a lecture after receiving the award, which really excited the students.

  As the principal stepped down from the stage, Hao Zhonghua, a tall and majestic figure with an extraordinary demeanor, walked up from the side.

  Xie Yu Jia beside Rao Ren immediately lit up her eyes, obviously a die-hard fan of Rao Zhonghua.

  Hao Zhonghua held the microphone, cleared his throat, smiled slightly and said, "The principal is overpraising. In fact, we still have a long way to go on the road of science. China's scientific development cause needs the efforts of our whole generation, rather than being measured by trophies and certificates. This time, my wife and I came to Europe, winning the award was secondary, mainly to exchange with foreign colleagues. And back home, first came to Donghai University to give a lecture, on the one hand, just returned home, happened to have some spare time, on the other hand, also because Donghai University is my alma mater, I have a deep feeling for Donghai University..."

  His voice was full and magnetic, Xie Yu Jia tilted her head to listen carefully, this almost infatuated look of being deeply immersed in it, was no less than those middle school girls' postures when chasing stars.

  "This Hao Zhonghua is really handsome, smart and has a good demeanor... if my future husband is like this..."

  After Hao Ren left, several girls softly evaluated him in slightly trembling voices.

  Uh... Is he really this handsome? Hao Ren is full of stars.

  He turned his head again to look at Xie Yu Jia, seeing her eyes sparkling, her hands placed under her chin, her mouth slightly open, with a face full of expectation.

  On the podium, Hao Zhonghua finished a bunch of pleasantries and began to talk about his latest research results, which was what he won this award for.

  The professors, master's students and doctoral students in the first and second districts listened very seriously, just like they usually did when listening to their teachers' lectures, taking notes constantly, some of them even fell into deep thought, then nodded in agreement, bowed their heads quickly to copy down, with a look as if they had gained insight.

  The undergraduate students of Donghai University in the third area, although they couldn't understand what Hao Zhonghua was specifically talking about, still listened quietly without making any noise.

  However, Hao Zhonghua's speech was not particularly profound. Even if you're not a biology major undergraduate, you can still understand the general idea by listening to it, but some details may not be very clear.

  The purpose of Donghai University in holding such a science lecture is mainly to form an agglomeration effect, on the one hand, allowing undergraduates to immerse themselves in a strong research atmosphere and experience this high-level academic exchange. On the other hand, it forms attention from media and scientific circles, enabling Donghai University to rise to a higher level.

  Hao Zhonghua spoke eloquently, occasionally using gestures to enhance the effect of his speech. His logic was clear and his thinking was complete, causing those white-haired scientists to show admiring expressions.

  An hour passed like a small stream. Hao Zhonghua finished his speech, and the whole audience, whether it was municipal leaders, school leaders, professors or students, had not yet withdrawn from the charm of this science, and they were still reluctant to part with it.

  Wa wa wa...... By the time everyone reacted, a wave of applause immediately erupted enthusiastically.

  This time, the applause was truly prolonged and lasted for more than five minutes.

  Hao Ren also joined the applause, Xie Yu Jia probably felt that Hao Ren had finally received recognition, and proudly nudged Hao Ren with his elbow, "See? This is the power of science!"

  Then she said with a sigh of emotion, "No wonder he is a great scientist, such advanced things can be explained so clearly and deeply, his speaking skills are also top-notch!"

  Hao Ren looked at her helplessly, feeling that Xie Yu Jia had already idolized Hao Zhonghua to a certain extent, almost to the point of being lovesick.
