Chapter 206 Xu Wu

"You've all told me to call me teacher, not old secretary, just secretary." The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly.

Hearing the title Secretary Xu, Wu Bin suddenly remembered that Li Yan had told him about such a person.

It is said that there is a saying in the school that "HKUST has a smooth president and an iron secretary."

This senior party official has been taking root at HKUST for 15 years. He is the longest-serving secretary in the history of the school and has always had a good reputation.

He once said in public, "I will fully support the principal of our school and will never make two voices."

It is completely different from the Chen style of secretaries and principals in some universities who are constantly at odds with each other.

When Principal Bao first took office last year, he wrote a small poem dedicated to the respected Secretary Xu. The poem said:

The red door is half-hidden by the green smoke, and the Marquis Mansion inspects the generals' platform every day.

Thousands of horses galloped across the bridge, and Bao Gong sang quietly.

There are talents in every generation, just after you sing, I will take the stage.

Fortunately, the source is so clear that it can secretly guarantee the flow of living water for twenty years.

As soon as he finished reminiscing, Wu Bin saw the look that Secretary Xu was looking at him, and he immediately walked up and introduced himself: "Hello, Secretary Xu, my name is Wu Bin, and I am a first-year undergraduate student in the School of Physics."

After hearing Wu Bin's self-introduction, Xu Wu suddenly laughed, "Are you Wu Bin? I've heard of your name."

"Have you heard of me?" Wu Bin pointed at himself, with a look of surprise on his face. He was just a little-known freshman, but the top leader of the University of Science and Technology in front of him, who was busy with everything, had actually heard of him?

After thinking about it, Wu Bin could only think that the news about "Science" he posted reached his old man's ears through a certain professor.

Seeing Wu Bin in a daze, Xu Wu walked up and patted Wu Bin on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "How could I not have heard of the name of the candidate for the Guo Prize?"

‘Guo Prize! ? ’

Wu Bin looked confused.

The full name of the Guo Award is the Guo Moruo Scholarship. It is a special scholarship established by HKUST using the 150,000 yuan in royalties given to the party committee of the institute by the first president Guo Moruo during his lifetime.

It is the highest honor scholarship for undergraduates at HKUST. It is awarded every year to students in the top 5% of each college's GPA or who have particularly outstanding performance in scientific and technological innovation.

However, for Wu Bin, who is addicted to experiments, he has never had much idea about scholarships, so it was a bit too sudden for the top leader to suddenly tell him that he was going to win the "Guo Prize".

‘I didn’t even fill in the application information, okay…’ Wu Bin couldn’t help but think.

"Looking at your expression, are you surprised?" Xu Wu asked with a smile.

"Hmm... It's true that I didn't expect it." Wu Bin nodded.

At the same time, Gu Ningshan on the side also opened her mouth wide with an extremely surprised expression. She probably would have stopped Wu Bin and asked if Secretary Xu hadn't been there.

"Actually, I heard your name during the admissions process. The school has spent a lot of money to win over you." Xu Wu said and suddenly squatted down, "Unfortunately, I went out for a meeting on the day you registered as a freshman. So I didn’t meet you, but I didn’t expect to see you here, which is quite interesting.”

After speaking, General Xu put his hand into the pocket of his shirt. Wu Bin thought that Secretary Xu was going to take out a pack of cigarettes, but he didn't expect that what he pulled out was a pack of cat food! It’s also an expensive Miaoxianbao!

"You also like cats?" Xu Wu tore open the Miaoxian bag and poured it on the cat food that Wu Bin had just spread. "Li Bai" took a few sniffs and ate it with big mouthfuls.

"Well, I've liked it since I was a child." Wu Bin nodded.

"Very good." Xu Wu commented lightly.

After that, Xu Wu found a place to sit down by the flower bed and quietly watched Li Bai eating, without saying another word to Wu Bin.

"Does Secretary Xu also like cats?" Wu Bin asked Gu Ningshan beside him in a low voice.

After Gu Ningshan finished speaking, she waved to Wu Bin and motioned for him to squat down a little.

Wu Bin also obediently squatted down to the same level as Gu Ningshan.

"More than just liking him, if HKUST holds a cat slave competition, he will definitely be a champion." Gu Ningshan said in Wu Bin's ear.

"Pfft." Wu Bin almost laughed out loud after hearing this, and couldn't help but look at the kind-hearted old man again.

"Congratulations, you are going to win the Guo Award." Gu Ningshan added.

"He hasn't been selected yet, he is a candidate." Wu Bin shook his head.

After hearing this, Gu Ningshan glared at Wu Bin: "The candidate that Secretary Xu said personally, can that be an ordinary candidate? Do you know there is a word called Qin Ding?"

"Okay, okay, everything you said is right." Wu Bin shook his hands.

Gu Ningshan smiled proudly and asked, "What are your plans for this summer vacation?"

"Stay in school and read the literature, how about you?"

"Go to Carnegie Mellon University to study communication."

"Not bad, how long will it take?" Wu Bin asked.

"I will stay there throughout the summer, doing computer simulation research with Professor Leonard."

Wu Bin: "Carnegie's computer major is world-renowned. I have read a lot of their school's computer literature. It can be said that it is very forward-looking. When you come back, tell me how it is different from domestic universities. ." After saying that, Wu Bin added: "Of course, I'll treat you to chicken."

Wu Bin had heard of this famous university in the United States when he was just learning language programming. The reason is that James Gosling, one of the co-founders of Java and generally recognized as the "father of Java", attended this university. graduated.

"I don't want to eat chicken!" Gu Ningshan refused decisively, "I want spicy food."

"Okay, okay, it's up to you."

"Well, it's settled then." Gu Ningshan looked at her phone after saying that, "I'll go now, I have to continue reading the TOEFL."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to seeing you after the summer vacation." Wu Bin waved to her.

"If I don't go to Carnegie, you won't be looking forward to meeting me, right?" Gu Ningshan couldn't help but complain, but she had long been used to Wu Bin's behavior, so she didn't take it to heart.

Finally, she touched Li Bai who was still eating wildly and waved to Secretary Xu who was still sitting on the flower bed, "Goodbye Secretary Xu~"

Hearing Gu Ningshan change her title again, Xu Wu shook his head helplessly and waved his hand towards her.

After Gu Ningshan left, Wu Bin also planned to stand up and say goodbye to Secretary Xu, but he didn't expect that Secretary Xu spoke before him.

"When did you and Gu Ningshan meet?"

After listening to the question, Wu Bin recalled it and replied: "We met when we first came to visit HKUST, and it was also because of a cat."

Xu Wu smiled after hearing this, "She is actually still a child, but she always wants to pretend to be mature. Sometimes, I feel tired just looking at her, but she is quite relaxed when getting along with you. You can take more care of her." .”

"Me?" Wu Bin waved his hand, "For now, Senior Sister Gu should take better care of me."

"Pay more attention and you will understand." After Xu Wu said this, he stopped looking at Wu Bin and continued to watch "Li Bai" eating.
