Chapter 792 - 313: That Was the Road I Came By, the Dreaded Thesis Maniac, and the Principal’s Mailbox Explodes! (Part 3)
"Don’t worry, no matter how tough it might be to explain, I’ll perform normally on stage."
With Old Shen saying this, Zhang Lingchuan had to show some attitude as well.
"No, no, no, not just normal performance, you need to exceed your usual performance, young man, because your lecture is incredibly popular. Many students couldn’t get a reservation and have been bombarding the principal’s mailbox. Students from outside the school are also questioning why it’s restricted, hoping to see your lecture too."
Shen Changming added.
"And then..."
Listening to Shen, Zhang Lingchuan got a vague feeling that something wasn’t right.
"Then we just had a meeting, and the school leaders suggested leveraging the internet advantage by conducting this lecture as a livestream. So, this time, you represent our great image, especially since many leaders will be watching if it’s an official livestream. You must be careful about your speech and never cross the line, particularly the red lines!"
Shen Changming feared nothing more than crossing the red lines.
After all, the official account’s livestream represents the official stance.
Certain things must never go wrong.
"Oh wow, not the red line, just the livestream..."
Zhang Lingchuan was perplexed.
Wasn’t it supposed to be just an internal lecture? How did it turn into a real-time livestream?
"Yes, live. You can even open your own account to simultaneously livestream if you want, but you need to inform the school in advance. You can tell me now if you like."
Shen Changming was quite satisfied with Xiaochuan’s awareness.
He merely gave a duty-bound reminder a moment ago.
During the meeting just now, the school even discussed whether Xiaochuan should open his own account.
The school leaders said there’s no issue with using your own account to livestream, just a need to notify them in advance.
"No need, if the school wants to livestream, let them. I won’t open my account."
Zhang Lingchuan shook his head.
If he opened his own account for the livestream, he could indeed make some income.
It would definitely be over ten thousand.
But he felt it wasn’t necessary.
Because the school was already livestreaming, and during the national veterinary competition, the school leaders were very supportive, so there’s no need to split this traffic.
Moreover, in his livestream room, many people enjoy watching him treat animals and diagnose people.
The lecture might not be something many are interested in.
Speaking of which, Comrade Xiao Song mentioned to him last night that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and Station Chief Tian from the National Veterinary Station contacted them again. There will be another livestream at the end of this month or early next month.
But the specific location and timing haven’t been mentioned yet.
They’ll do the livestream when the time comes.
The phone call lasted about ten minutes.
Then the call ended.
In the evening.
Northeast People’s University’s official Weibo also posted a tweet.
[Zhang Lingchuan | "The Practice of Internet Communication in the Integration of Clinical Medicine and Clinical Veterinary Science". Dr. Zhang’s lecture is here, so there’s no need to worry about missing out, as this lecture will be livestreamed in its entirety, scheduled for 19:30 tomorrow. We warmly welcome everyone to watch on time. "17:59"]
Indeed.
The whole process required a lot of steps and poster creation.
Thus, the task and the promotion were completed just before the evening’s end of business hours.
"?"
"What did I just see?"
"Wow?! Senior Zhang’s lecture in a livestream format? That means we can watch it in our dorm room too!"
"Haha, the principal’s mailbox must be exploding!"
"Hehe, they only opened up 1,900 slots. I blinked, and it was gone! Had to give some feedback to the principal!"
"Our dorm wrote three letters."
"We, the off-campus students, wrote quite a few too, expressing hope that Northeast People’s University would let us from other schools join in. Looks like our opinions were considered."
"Electronic spicy strips on a Friday night, how great!!"
Netizens were all excited.
"Hey! Where’s Qingqing? Senior Zhang’s lecture is going to be livestreamed!"
Song Wanqing’s dorm.
As soon as Hui Mei saw the news, she rushed back excitedly.
But she was puzzled to find that Wanqing was nowhere to be seen.
"No idea, seems like she went back for something. I saw the livestream news too. Maybe we can appear on camera when it’s time,"
Tingting commented.
"At that time, if we ask a question, we’ll definitely show up, hahaha~"
"Great idea!"
Soon the dorm was buzzing with conversation.
Meanwhile, Song Wanqing was on the phone while heading home.
"Alright, Deputy Station Chief Ou, I’ve received the notification for the video conference at 8 AM tomorrow, and I’ll definitely be there on time. By the way, where are we going for this public welfare livestream to support farmers?"
The call was from Deputy Station Chief Ou Lingling of the National Veterinary Station, reminding her once again.
She had asked earlier about the livestream location.
The contact person said they were not clear.
So she asked Deputy Station Chief Ou again.
"I’m happy that Comrade Xiao Song is reliable. You’ll find out where the public welfare livestream supporting farmers is during tomorrow’s meeting. No need to rush, but there’s a place with some connection to you."
Ou Lingling chuckled.
"Some connection to me??"
Song Wanqing grew even more curious.
Nighttime.
Zhang Lingchuan received a message from Comrade Xiao Song.
She informed him about the meeting tomorrow morning, saying in principle he should attend, but since he has a lecture, she would handle it. She also told him to get to bed early, as their dorm had snagged seats and would be there to cheer him on!
"Alright, alright, Comrade Xiao Song, you should get to bed early too."
Zhang Lingchuan replied with a voice message.
[Song Wanqing: okok~ bye~]
After sending the message, Song Wanqing went offline.
Zhang Lingchuan washed up, and it was already ten o’clock when he lay in bed.
[Li Ziqing]
Yes, Li Ziqing’s messages lit up again, marking her daily check-in.
These past few days, she seemed a bit excited because today was the nineteenth.
Tomorrow, the twentieth, is Friday, and the day after, the twenty-first, is Saturday, the Level 4 exam day.
She almost consistently sent pictures of high scores, nearly perfect test papers.
Every time he saw these,
Zhang Lingchuan felt like he had saved a fangirl.
Turning her from a fangirl into a studious role model, and from being timid about English to using her phone in full English mode, practically.
He offered some encouraging words.
After checking some papers, time slipped by, and it was suddenly 1 AM. Zhang Lingchuan wearily went to sleep.
The dormitory was empty except for him, and that rascal Prince was still out and about, so the night was peaceful.
Morning came quickly.
It was December 20th, Friday, the day of Zhang Lingchuan’s lecture.
The internet’s trending topics were already starting to bubble up.
Song Wanqing’s home.
Holding a video conference in the dorm was impossible, especially so early. Additionally, since some meeting content was confidential, it was required to be conducted in a private room with headphones on.
So she went home.
Waking up at eight o’clock at home wouldn’t disturb anyone.
By nine-thirty.
Having filled half a notebook with notes, the hour-and-a-half-long meeting on poverty reduction and public welfare livestreaming by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the National Veterinary Station was finally over.
"Beep beep beep—"
After ending the meeting, Song Wanqing called Zhang Lingchuan.
"Hey..."
The call had just connected, and Song Wanqing heard a groggy voice.
"Master Zhang, you’re still sleeping? I thought you were up."
Song Wanqing was a bit surprised.
She thought Teacher Zhang was awake, considering it was already nine-thirty. Who would have thought he was still lying in bed?
"I’m tired... Comrade Xiao Song... By the way, is the meeting over?"
Zhang Lingchuan’s words still carried a sleepy tone.
"It’s over. The time and location for our public welfare livestreaming have been set. Do you know where it is? A place with a bit of connection to both of us."
Song Wanqing truly didn’t expect that senior leadership would finalize the rural public welfare livestream location as such a place.
"A place connected to both of us? Where is it? Qing County??"
Zhang Lingchuan was a bit puzzled.
Could they actually be going back to his hometown for a livestream this time?!
"Chuanshu Da Liang Mountain..."
From the other end of the call, Song Wanqing spoke softly.
"What the heck! Going to Da Liang Mountain for a livestream!!!"
In the next moment, Zhang Lingchuan jolted upright!
It’s said to be a pure place; they sure know how to choose...
