Chapter 518 Academic Exchange
The next day.
In the president's office of Binjiang University, Meng Chenliang was reviewing several recent academic developments in the school.
Dangdangdang...
There was a sudden knock on the office door.
"Come in." Meng Chenliang shouted without even looking up.
The door opened and the school's director of education walked in with a smile. Behind him, another figure followed him in.
"Principal Meng, this is a comrade from the Comprehensive Coordination Division of the Foreign Affairs Office. Their Foreign Affairs Office has received an exchange invitation letter from Hong Kong University to our school." The Dean of Studies said happily.
"Oh?"
Meng Chenliang was surprised when he heard this and slowly stood up.
"Are you sure? Is it the Xiangjiang University in Xiangjiang?"
Although Binjiang University is a top-notch university in China, it is not well-known internationally.
But Hong Kong University is different.
That is a well-known university that ranks high internationally.
Binjiang University and Xiangjiang University had no dealings with each other before. Why would the other party suddenly send an invitation letter to Binjiang University for no reason?
"Hello, Principal Meng, I'm Xu Guodong from the Foreign Affairs Office."
"Please rest assured. After receiving this invitation, our Foreign Affairs Office verified it with both Yanjing University and Hong Kong University. This invitation letter was indeed sent by Hong Kong University. There's no doubt about it."
"This is the original invitation letter from Hong Kong University, as well as some materials they sent. Please take a look." Xu Guodong placed the invitation letter on the table in front of Meng Chenliang very respectfully.
It’s really true.
Meng Chenliang sat back in his seat, picked up the invitation letter and read it carefully.
On the invitation letter, the emblem of Hong Kong University is extremely clear, and the traditional Chinese characters of Hong Kong University are also written on it.
After reading it carefully, Meng Chenliang's doubts not only did not decrease, but became even greater.
The reason is very simple. This seemingly normal invitation letter actually specifically mentioned a student named Su Mengyao to participate in the academic exchange, which is really abnormal.
You should know that academic exchanges between universities often focus on a certain major or academic field.
The invited professors were all from the school. It was not like Hong Kong University that designated a current student to participate.
"Su Mengyao." Meng Chenliang muttered softly, and immediately remembered who Su Mengyao was.
In the past, Vice President Ye manipulated things behind the scenes to get his daughter into Binhai University. As a result, Xiao Ye committed evil deeds in the school and bullied the freshmen in lower grades. The student who was bullied at that time was named Su Mengyao.
Meng Chenliang also knew a little about Su Mengyao's family situation.
That's no ordinary student.
"President Meng, this invitation to an academic exchange is the first one our Foreign Affairs Office has handled so far. Our leadership attaches great importance to academic invitations from world-renowned universities."
"I was specifically instructed to do a good job of bridging the gap."
"As for the process of our foreign exchange, Bin University needs to determine the candidates for the exchange group. Our Foreign Affairs Office can assist with passport processing and the review of outbound personnel."
"However, both of these tasks will take some time, so it would be best for us to determine the candidates as soon as possible. In addition, we also need to communicate with Hong Kong University on the specific communication time." Xu Guodong said.
The invitation letter also includes the contact number of Hong Kong University.
Binhai University can contact Hong Kong University through international calls.
So communication is definitely not a problem.
"Okay, I understand. After we communicate with Hong Kong University and make sure that this exchange can go smoothly, we will contact your Foreign Affairs Office." Meng Chenliang replied.
The exchange invitation from Hong Kong University came too suddenly and was a bit strange.
Although the Foreign Affairs Office has confirmed the authenticity of the information, Meng Chenliang still wants to wait and see. He will decide whether to send someone to Hong Kong to participate in the exchange after everything is clear.
Xu Guodong was stunned at first when he heard this, but he quickly reacted.
He immediately responded, "Okay, Principal Meng, I'll leave you my office phone number so we can talk over the phone if anything happens."
"That's good." Meng Chenliang said.
Xu Guodong quickly copied down the phone number of his office.
After finishing these, Xu Guodong said goodbye.
Send Xu Guodong away.
The dean quickly returned to Meng Chenliang's office.
This is the first time in Binhai University’s history that it has received an invitation for academic exchange from Hong Kong University.
You should know that Peking University and Tsinghua University, the leaders in the education sector, only sent their first batch of international students to the United States last year in compliance with the instructions of their leaders.
"President, Hong Kong University is a world-class university, and they actually invited Binhai University..."
The dean seemed very excited.
Meng Chenliang looked up at the dean and said, "You're back just in time. Go and tell the counselor of the '78 philosophy class to call Su Mengyao over. I have something to ask her."
"what?"
The dean of studies was a little confused and didn't understand why Principal Meng was looking for a student at this time.
Shouldn't they contact Hong Kong University to verify the information and convene a meeting of school leaders as soon as possible to discuss academic exchanges?
"go."
"okay."
After walking out of the principal's office, the dean of studies still shook his head in confusion and walked quickly downstairs.
Soon, Zhang Huaiyu received a notice from the dean of studies, asking her to take Su Mengyao from her class to Principal Meng's office.
Zhang Huaiyu, who was confused, quickly called Su Mengyao out from class and took her to Meng Chenliang's office.
"Principal Meng called you over. Do you know what it is?" Zhang Huaiyu asked Su Mengyao.
Although Su Mengyao is considered a celebrity in school, she is relatively low-key and does not cause trouble. She also studies hard and has always had good grades.
Zhang Huaiyu didn't think that Su Mengyao had caused any trouble.
However, the headmaster's hurried tone made Zhang Huaiyu a little nervous for some unknown reason.
"I'm not so sure either."
Su Mengyao shook her head.
Lu Ye told her that Shu Wen had helped send out the invitation letters, but Su Mengyao was not sure if it was because of this.
After all, Lu Ye has not received any notification yet, and it is still unknown whether the invitation letter has arrived in Binjiang.
Seeing that Su Mengyao was also at a loss, Zhang Huaiyu said, "Forget it, we'll find out when we get there."
The two came to Meng Chenliang's office, knocked on the door, and Zhang Huaiyu led Su Mengyao in.
"Principal Meng, this is Su Mengyao."
"Hello, Principal Meng."
Meng Chenliang looked at Su Mengyao in front of him, picked up the invitation letter he had just received, and said:
"The school just received an academic invitation letter from Xiangjiang University, but your name is specifically mentioned on it, asking you to participate. I want to ask you, do you know what's going on?"
