Chapter 724: Arriving in Stockholm
Nearly 11 hours later, the plane landed.
The group, led by staff, came out from the VIP channel of Stockholm Arlanda Airport.
"Tsk tsk, what a big scene."
Xu Shouyun looked at the black mass of people in suits at the boarding gate and couldn't help but sigh. They hadn't even gone out yet, and they had already seen countless flashes.
They felt the solemnity and gravity from afar.
However, although they hadn't experienced such a big scene, Xu Shouyun and the others had at least spent decades in the system, so they had that much composure and wouldn't suffer from stage fright or anything.
Song Shisong and Zhang Junli looked at each other, able to see the complex emotions in each other's eyes.
Yes, they knew their son-in-law was very capable.
But at this moment, the mood was the same as Old Xu and his wife; knowing and experiencing it for real were two different things.
The grand welcoming ceremony in the distance made them feel the weight of winning the Nobel Prize again.
This is not just one person's glory.
Xu Shouyun suddenly remembered the scene of the official send-off yesterday and couldn't help but sigh: "The moment the plane door closed, what the scientist took away was an answer sheet of personal struggle, but what was left on the runway was the expectation of the entire country."
"Full of doggerel, are you going to take the postgraduate entrance exam?" Wang Xiaping rolled her eyes.
Xu Shouyun coughed dryly.
To one side, Wang Xiaping's gaze fell on the crowd in the distance. Although she complained about her husband, she felt shocked at the same time. At this moment, she would unconsciously have a sense of national glory.
Perhaps, this is the meaning of the Nobel Prize.
To a certain extent, it represents international recognition of a country.
Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao walked in front.
"Välkommen, Professor Xu!"
Leading them was an old man in a black suit, wearing a Nobel Foundation badge on his chest. What the old man just said was the special welcoming greeting in Swedish.
"Thank you, very happy to see you, Mr. Hansson."
Xu Qingzhou smiled. The old man in front of him was Göran Hansson, the Permanent Secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, a titan in the field of chemistry, who presided over the entire process of nomination, review, and announcement of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
He was also the representative of the Royal Academy of Sciences welcoming them this time.
"This beautiful lady must be your wife."
"Yes, this is my wife, Song Yao."
"Ms. Song, welcome."
"Hello."
Song Yao reached out her hand calmly.
Göran Hansson shook hands with Song Yao, looked at Xu Qingzhou, and then said with a sigh full of emotion: "Professor Xu, I guarantee, you are the youngest Nobel Prize winner I have ever welcomed."
"This is my honor," Xu Qingzhou smiled.
"I am also honored to be able to witness the birth of the youngest Nobel Prize winner."
"Professor Xu, Ms. Song, welcome to your arrival." At this time, a middle-aged man with an Asian face said with a smile.
The accompanying staff beside them had already started introducing: "This is Ke Honglang, Minister-Counselor of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Sweden."
"Hello, Minister-Counselor Ke, very happy to see one of our own in a foreign land, sorry to trouble you to come and pick us up."
Xu Qingzhou said sincerely.
In other countries, the most secure place is probably the embassy of one's own country.
Ke Honglang said with a smile: "Professor Xu is a pillar of the country, a top pillar of national development; let alone coming once, even coming ten times is what should be done!"
"You overpraise."
"Professor Xu, for anything in Sweden, you can contact the embassy; we will definitely try our best to meet your needs." ===== CHAPTER 725 =====
