The students in the audience buzzed with discussion.
Song He and Xie Yuanxun, who were at the center of everyone's attention, remained unfazed. After sitting down, they exchanged a brief greeting before lowering their heads and attending to their own business.

"Everything is rejuvenated by spring, and flowers bloom in profusion. The first class of Teacher Reserve students has spent the entire spring at our university. With midsummer approaching, we have gathered here..."
"Frontier Technology University has followed the tide of the times and bravely taken the lead in scientific and technological innovation..."
