The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

Messages kept being uploaded.

The city held an emergency meeting overnight, with the mayor personally attending. The more they discussed it, the more alarmed they became. This was no ordinary middle school ceremony; it was an international-level diplomatic event!

Not daring to delay, the materials were prepared overnight and submitted to the provincial authorities.

Upon seeing the report, the provincial governor tapped the paper with his finger, both surprised and amused: "You, Wang Jianguo, have caused such a commotion."

He immediately made the decision: "Report this to the Senate at once."

This is such a prestigious thing, we have to let the higher-ups know.

……

When the Council of State received the report from Liaoning Province, it was holding a meeting to discuss the situation of superconductivity.

The secretary presented the report, and it was circulated among the senior leaders.

The meeting room was quiet for a while.

"Goodness."

Finally, a leader with graying hair spoke first, his tone tinged with a hint of helplessness, yet also with an undisguised pride:

"It was originally just a middle school name change, but now, Nobel laureates and top financial groups are all flocking there."

"I took a look, even MIT is here. Didn't they just have a falling out with us? How dare they come?"

"What's there to be embarrassed about? People in academia are the most pragmatic. While they're criticizing Ji Bai, they're also more eager than anyone to know what Ji Bai will do next."

"So, are we allowed to come or not?"

"Come on in. We're a nation of etiquette; we can't turn our guests away."

"Yes! And this is a perfect opportunity to let them see for themselves just how good our young geniuses really are."

"What about security and safety?"

"We need to upgrade the security level in Fucheng, and Liaoning Province will fully cooperate. With such a large number of foreign guests visiting, there can be no security issues whatsoever."

"Then...should we send someone over as well?"

The leader who had remained silent until now finally spoke:

"certainly!"

The leader smiled and said calmly, "Ji Bai, it's worth the trip for us."

He paused, then added, "Besides, they've already blocked our doorstep. Shouldn't we, as parents, go and support our kids?"

There was a moment of silence in the conference room.

Then, everyone laughed.

"Absolutely! Absolutely!"

"What a parent-teacher conference!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

that's it.

The unveiling ceremony of a high school in a third-tier city attracted attention from the district, city, and province levels within a single day, eventually reaching the Council of State Councilors.

From local to central levels, reports were submitted at each level, and each level took further drastic measures.

In the end, even a leader from the Senate had to attend in person.

This level of prestige goes far beyond Peking University's anniversary celebration.

This is truly a grand national celebration!

……

Soon after, the Chinese government issued a statement.

The text is short, but every word carries immense weight.

The unveiling ceremony of the Affiliated High School of the Ji Bai Research Institute in Fucheng was a grand event to give back to the alma mater and show the young Chinese scientist Ji Bai's concern for education!

Respect for knowledge, pursuit of innovation, openness and inclusiveness are consistent principles of China. We are open to and welcome all international friends who have legally applied to come to China to attend the ceremony.

Science knows no borders, and innovation has no limits. China is willing to work with all parties to promote global scientific and technological progress and benefit our common home, based on mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit!

China welcomes scholars and friends from all countries to attend the ceremony and participate in this grand event for science and education!

The statement confirmed the news completely.

The entire internet was instantly hyped to its peak.

"Holy crap! It's really true! Even a Nobel laureate is coming to a high school ceremony?"

"Hahahaha! Ji Shen's move is terrifying!"

"To be precise, Ji Shen hasn't even made a move yet! He just released a message, and all the various forces couldn't sit still!"

"Look at those people on the internet, yesterday they were still saying 'The Ji Bai era is over,' and today their own professor is scrambling to book plane tickets! They're so embarrassed!"

"I just want to ask, where are those so-called rational people who say Ji Shen is no good? Come out and explain why someone you call no good could have a Nobel Prize-winning event at a high school ceremony?"

"Don't call them rational people, call them crooked-backs. They're probably secretly buying train tickets to Fucheng right now."

"My cousin owns a hotel in Fucheng, and last night the room rates increased fivefold. He just called to say it's completely booked! I'm stunned!"

"That's all for now, guys, I'm already on the high-speed train to Fucheng!"

"Me too! Together! Let's protect Season God!"

"I raise the banner for Ji Shen! Let's see who dares to oppose him!"

"Where are the disciples of the Ji Clan? Follow me into battle!"

"Today, we gather in Fucheng to witness the Great Emperor's sacred site and to see the glory of our generation!"

"I am a rogue cultivator, willing to lend my aid to the God of Seasons!"

"Don't go to the upstairs clinic. The hotels in Fucheng are full. If you go there, you'll only be able to sleep on the street."

"I'd even sleep on the street!"

"Hahaha, brother, you have a brilliant mind! The Ji family is full of talented people!"

After venting their frustrations domestically, Chinese netizens then flocked to foreign websites.

I've been so frustrated these past two days.

Now, Ji Bai is about to make his move.

Moreover, before the person even made a move, global bigwigs were already paying homage.

If I don't go and browse the international websites, wouldn't that be a disservice to Ji Shen?

As a result, Chinese netizens can be seen everywhere on Twitter, YouTube, and Reddit.

"I heard the Ji Bai era is over? Then what kind of spirit do you Nobel laureates and trillion-dollar corporations have to come to a third-tier city to watch a 'washed-up internet celebrity' cut the ribbon?"

"You say one thing but do another. Congratulations on unlocking a new achievement: You criticize Ji Bai while simultaneously clapping for him."

Yesterday: Ji Bai is just a high school student! Today: Professor, we're almost out of plane tickets to Fucheng!

"Tell me quickly, does it hurt when you're slapped in the face?"

"What? Foreign netizens are about to cry? And they won't stop crying!"

……

The external network has been completely breached.

Just a day ago, they were collectively mocking "the end of China's superconducting monopoly" and "the shattering of the Ji Bai myth," but then they saw their own top figures flocking to attend a ceremony at a Chinese high school, and their faces were slapped hard.

Western netizens collectively lamented:

"God! Tell me this isn't real!"

"A Nobel laureate, a Harvard professor, and the heir to Rockefeller, going to an ordinary high school in China? That's absurd!"

"No one is allowed to go! Nobody is allowed to go! We can't send any more technology to the Chinese! They must be trying to steal the secret of superconductivity!"

"They've gone mad! They've all gone mad! It's just a middle school's opening ceremony, why are so many important figures involved?"

"For the first time as a British citizen, I felt like my country was a down-on-its-luck nobleman desperately trying to squeeze into someone else's banquet."

Compared to the emotional breakdown of Western netizens, Japanese and South Korean netizens felt more heartbroken and helpless.

"How is that possible? We couldn't even get Professor Terence Tao to come to Seoul National University for its 100th anniversary, and he's going to go to a local high school in China?"

"They must have paid money! They must have spent a fortune! Otherwise, who would go to a place like that!"

"Even Kyoto University doesn't have this kind of prestige. It's just a local affiliated high school. It's too exaggerated."

"Has Ji Bai's influence become so terrifying... that just attending a ceremony can attract so many important figures?"

"And the Mitsui Group, our own conglomerate, just went and supported someone else like that? How shameful!"

"Go where?! We, the Republic of Korea, won't go! We can't afford to lose face like that!"

"But I heard that a technical advisor from Samsung Electronics also applied to attend the ceremony..."

"What???"

"Ashiba!!!"

The news escalated.

No matter how much people at home and abroad argue, they cannot change the decisions that those important figures have already made.

One after another, chartered planes and special planes took off from all over the world and headed towards China.

There is only one destination.

Fucheng!
