That's right, Edward Witten also attended the wedding.
He arrived in Huaxia on the 8th for a conference, and after resting for a day, he got to Xilin yesterday afternoon, only to receive the news of Qiao Ze's wedding the next day.
Edward Witten was genuinely surprised by the coincidence.
Twice he ca to Xilin, he just happened to catch the weddings of Li Jiangao and Qiao Ze, so he was definitely going to attend this banquet as well.
At this mont, Chen Yuanzhi was sitting beside Edward Witten. After Xu Dajiang finished speaking, before the waiter handed over the microphone, this soon-to-be-retired president played the part of a translator, ensuring Edward Witten was not entirely unprepared when he took the microphone.
"About three months ago, also in Xilin, I attended my first wedding in Huaxia. It left a great impression on , very lively. I really enjoyed that joyful atmosphere, and I didn't expect to attend Qiao Ze's wedding this ti; it's truly a marvelous thing.
As Professor Xu just ntioned, Qiao Ze and I should be considered good friends. Of course, our exchanges were primarily academic. I believe I understand Qiao Ze's academic achievents better than many present here. Just as I told my colleague Dugen, Qiao Ze is the greatest scientist in the history of human civilization.
Yes, I said scientist here, not mathematician or physicist. Because his talent spans too many areas, it's as if he casually made a move and not only won two Nobel Prizes but also contributed to the achievents of two other Nobel laureates. Such an achievent has never appeared in the history that I know.
Although at my age, I generally don't have too many expectations for the future, but what I want to say is, I am really looking forward to working with Qiao Ze here in Xilin. I hope to achieve more with Qiao Ze's help.
Finally, I would like to present a Huaxia ancient poem taught to by the bride earlier today as a congratulatory gift to the newlyweds."
Upon saying this, Edward Witten paused for a mont and then spoke in sowhat clumsy Chinese: "Bless you two to beco a married couple, and may your love forever be unwavering."
As Edward Witten's words ended, there was a mont of silence at the scene, followed by enthusiastic applause.
Today's guests comprised about half of Su Lixing's friends and partners from political and business circles, while the other half were bigwigs from the academic world.
Among them was Academician Zhang Mingrui from the Science Academy, who would soon succeed Chen Yuanzhi.
There were also many professors and researchers from various universities and research institutes, including Huaqing, Yanbei, and Xilin.
The news of Edward Witten deciding to work in Xilin had not been spread, so they were genuinely unaware of this news, at this mont applauding and looking at each other in astonishnt.
According to this bigwig's words, is he planning to settle permanently in Xilin in the future?
Countless gazes focused on the young man standing silently beside Xu Dajiang at this mont.
Just as Edward Witten said, his expectation for the future is to do research with Qiao Ze and achieve more academically. In other words, he ca following Qiao Ze.
In other words...
Well, there's no need to say anything more.
Edward Witten announcing in such an official manner at today's occasion is enough to show his attitude.
Three Nobel Prizes, plus a Fields dal, along with Huaxia's most prestigious academic journals, science awards, and the boost of artificial intelligence, make Xilin University of Technology formidable.
In terms of scientific research, this is indeed unstoppable.
Next year when it's ti to slice the cake, Xilin University of Technology entering the first tier is almost a certainty.
And everyone can even imagine how impressive the research project that convinced Edward Witten to reside permanently in Xilin must be.
It's known that Qiao Ze provided the prediction and verification thods for the containnt graviton and helped him find the graviton at CERN; yet even that didn't make this bigwig decide to stay in Xilin. If this year can grant three Nobel Prizes because of this one project, even a layman would know how important the graviton is in the physics world...
Unfortunately, the wedding scene didn't give everyone much ti to think. As the applause slightly subsided, Xu Dajiang was already satisfied, moving on to the next stage, and yes, he was very pleased with Edward Witten's remarks.
"Alright, to make sure everyone can dine smoothly at 12:08, the ti is very tight now, and next up is the groom's speech, which we all love to see..."
After saying this, Xu Dajiang glanced at Qiao Ze beside him. Their eyes t, and Xu Dajiang imdiately said: "But today I'm in charge, so this part of the process will be skipped. However, our only tutor of the groom, also the pride of our Xilin University of Technology School of Mathematics, Professor Li Jiangao will say a few words for his forr pupil on this joyful day..."
...
The newlyweds held hands as Qiao Ze solemnly placed the ring on Su's finger, with Su Lixing watching with a gentle smile, marking the end of the ceremony. The two then walked hand in hand off the stage to the seat specially prepared for them and began eating with the guests.
Yes, at Qiao Ze's request, the part of the ceremony where they toast to the guests was canceled, and it seed no one had any objections.
It wasn't just to give Qiao Ze face; with Lv Bei and Li Chengze watching nearby, no one was bold enough to insist on urging drinks.
Moreover, there was the diplomatic Su Lixing and Yu Chenggong.
This was agreed upon beforehand, the younger ones wanting to keep things simple, leaving the older ones to go from table to table to explain.
