Chapter 59: Professor Li joins the show’s judging panel!

——[The production crew didn’t even take a holiday during the Chinese New Year. It’s a great opportunity to watch the live broadcast with my family and children! ]

——【That’s right, I want to get my family members to vote for Wang Shan together. Everyone was busy in the past two days, so I was embarrassed to ask them to join.】

——【Damn, I didn’t expect there would be a live broadcast today. Luckily, I was playing with my phone and saw it. Family members, vote for Brother Lin! 】

——[We are going to have a reunion dinner today. At this special time, is it a bit inappropriate for the production team to arrange people to follow the two families back to film? 】

——[I think Lin Yuan and Wang Shan might be better off. At most, they just need to add a pair of chopsticks for the cameraman. The two experts are pitiful because they have to work overtime online!]

……

As soon as the live broadcast started, a lot of people flocked in.

Although at the beginning the flow of people was not as good as that of the previous two days, the number of people still showed an upward trend.

The director took a look at the rising indexes and finally felt relieved.

We held a meeting at the station yesterday and originally decided not to broadcast live on New Year’s Eve.

But he felt that there would definitely be a more popular topic today!

So I overcame all objections and fought for the opportunity to live broadcast today.

At this time, only the host Xiaobing was sitting on the stage in the studio.

On the big screen behind her, it was connected to Cheng Bo and Liu Liping respectively.

As soon as the video was turned on, Cheng Bo started chatting with Liu Liping on the other end.

"Didn't the production team say yesterday that a new expert would join the judging panel? Why don't I see anyone?"

Liu Liping shook her head. "I don't know. I just received a video call from the production team."

"The new expert was probably a little busy and didn't hear it."

"That's right. Today is New Year's Eve, and the date is quite important. If the production team hadn't given me so much, I might not have had the time."

"Fortunately, given today's situation, we have to work overtime online. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to have a New Year's Eve dinner with my family."

Cheng Bo seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile.

There was a commotion behind him, indicating that there were many guests in the house.

——【It’s so funny, it turns out these experts are so worldly, it really is true that money makes the world go round! 】

——【Experts are also human beings, they also need to eat, but why does this program team always give me a feeling of being rich? Are the investors behind them so rich! 】

——[Do you think the new expert invited by the program team is the Professor Li who was connected online yesterday? ]

——[I think this is possible. Your professor is Lin Yuan’s mentor. Will there be any imbalance in the following programs? ]

——[Although people are biased, Professor Li is a professor at Qinghua after all. A person of his reputation should not be so petty.]

……

From the conversation between the two, it was revealed that an expert would also be involved.

Netizens immediately began to speculate about this candidate.

Everyone was wondering if he was Lin Yuan’s mentor.

After all, they have seen how good the director of this variety show is at making trouble!
Liu Liping didn't expect this person to be so straightforward.

He actually said in front of the camera that the program crew paid a lot, otherwise he would not agree to work overtime online.

He is really not afraid of offending the director at all!
"I heard he was a professor at Qinghua. I guess he was delayed by something."

"After all, experts of this level are hard to come by all year round."

Liu Liping patted Cheng Bo's arm, signaling him to be more careful with his words.

After all, they are sitting here as experts.

Maybe some of their students are in the live broadcast room.

It would be very damaging to their image if students thought that they were money-hungry people!
Xiaobing listened to the two people chatting silently.

It was not until the director's voice came from the earphone that he picked up the microphone and indicated that the live broadcast had officially begun!
"Hello, everyone in the live broadcast room!"

"Thank you all for gathering with us on this special day." "Today's live broadcast will be conducted in a fully online communication mode."

In just a few words, Xiaobing introduced today's entire process.

In fact, it was pretty much the same as the previous two days’ filming, except that today’s judges were online.

As he was speaking, a window suddenly appeared on the group chat page on the big screen.

Then, an old man in his fifties appeared on the screen.

Xiaobing didn't expect that Professor Li would connect the video at this time.

She greeted Professor Li with a smile, then turned to introduce herself to the netizens in the live broadcast room.

"Welcome Professor Li to join our judging panel!"

"The professor is a prestigious figure in the sociology community and holds a pivotal position in Qinghua University."

"He has published dozens of social research reports and made great contributions to the social development of our country."

When I received the notice from the director yesterday.

Xiaobing found out the relevant information about this academic master overnight.

The more I read, the more shocked I was, and I had even more respect for Professor Li.

Unexpectedly, the identity of a professor of sociology at Qinghua University is just his most ordinary identity!

——【Oh my god, he is actually Lin Yuan’s mentor. Could this big guy be here to support his beloved disciple?】

——【Damn it, who on earth am I to deserve a professor from Qinghua to record a variety show for me?】

——【The two experts who came before seemed to pale in comparison to Professor Li. They were chatting so enthusiastically just now, but now they were completely silent. It was just like when I saw my teacher in class.】

——[Professor Li looks so kind. I thought someone with such high academic achievements would be a very serious person!]

——【What if Lin Yuan knew that his mentor became a judge? Would he stop recording overnight?】

……

When netizens heard the host’s introduction, they were all shocked.

They were still guessing the previous second, but they didn't expect the program crew to spend so much money.

We really invited the professor from Qinghua!

They were all wondering what would happen if Lin Yuan knew about this.

For a moment, the barrage of comments scrolled extremely quickly.

Whether young or middle-aged audiences, no one can resist Professor Li.

Middle-aged viewers even brought their children to watch the live broadcast.

Just to catch a glimpse of Professor Qinghua.

Cheng Bo and Liu Liping were chatting happily when suddenly there was another person in the group chat.

It was still the existence they longed for but was out of reach, and the two of them suddenly became a lot more reserved.

"Hello, Professor Li. I am Cheng Bo from the Department of Sociology at Nanjing University."

"I heard about your deeds when I was in school, and our tutor often mentioned you."

"Your contribution to society has promoted the progress of sociology!"

"Your spirit is widely spread in our entire sociology community!"

Cheng Bo was so excited to see his idol that he could hardly speak clearly.

His eyes instantly turned red, and he became so restless that he couldn't sit still.

A big part of the reason why he chose to study sociology was because he saw one of the newspaper articles published by your professor.

Many of the remarks in it shocked his soul and gave him a sudden epiphany.

Only then did I realize that my thinking was so narrow-minded!

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Professor Li is Cheng Bo’s life mentor!
