Liu Gen was woken up by Li Yong's scolding, and began to feel guilty. Thinking about it carefully, he felt that he really should not contradict Professor Zeng in public, and physiology is an important basic subject in medicine. If Professor Zeng did this
, if you don’t allow yourself to attend lectures and participate in physiological experiments, it will be a small thing if you can’t get credits, but it will be a big deal if you can’t learn skills.
"Principal Li, I know I was wrong, and I will take the initiative to apologize to Professor Zeng." Liu Gen lowered his head and muttered.
Li Yong saw that Liu Gen's eyes no longer showed rebelliousness. He sighed and slowed down his tone: "Liu Gen, people often have no choice but to survive in this society. They must learn to make concessions and endure grievances. Let's go, I
I will take you to apologize to Professor Zeng. I hope Professor Zeng will take my face into account and not argue with you, otherwise your medical dream will be shattered!"
Liu Gen understood that his benefactor was trying to protect himself, so he followed Li Yong obediently to the Physiology Teaching and Research Office of the Basic Medical College to find Professor Zeng.
Professor Zeng is Li Yong’s former teacher. At the Medical University, he is a leading figure in basic medicine. He has produced many academic achievements and made great contributions to the Medical University. He will retire in less than two years.
In my whole life of teaching, I have never had a student be so disrespectful to him in class. Liu Gen’s rebuttal seemed to make the gray-haired old professor feel very hurt.
When Liu Gen and Li Yong walked into Professor Zeng's office, the old professor snorted and turned his back, not looking at Li Yong and Liu Gen.
"Teacher Zeng, Liu Gen has come to apologize to you. You don't care about the faults of small people. I know that you are always generous, teacher. Seeing that Liu Gen is young and energetic and doesn't understand the rules, teacher, please forgive him this time." Li Yong said.
As he spoke, he winked at Liu Gen.
"Professor Zeng, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so unreasonable in class. I'm willing to accept any punishment. As long as it makes you feel comfortable, Professor Zeng, you can even hit me." Liu Gen saw Professor Zeng's white hair and thought to himself.
Regret, why when I contradicted him in class this morning, I didn’t seem to see that the old professor was already in his seventies. How could I contradict an old man like that?
Professor Zeng didn't look back, and waved his hand: "I don't want to teach students like you. I want to do your business and make your money. From now on, I will no longer be your teacher!"
"Teacher, please calm down. I went there and caused you a lot of trouble. Haha... I stayed in school because you always helped me. I know you always cherish those who have potential.
Students, we have trained batch after batch of outstanding medical students for our school. The school is currently in a difficult period after the merger. We need you to continue to use your spare time to train more outstanding students... Liu Gen's family is in trouble. If
If he doesn't work-study and earn money by his own efforts, it will be difficult to pay the tuition. In addition to doing business, he also carries dead people and works in the anatomy teaching and research department...Teacher, you also know that the tuition and living expenses are very high when studying in college now.
...There are not many people like Liu Gen who earn their own money to study. You can't just beat him to death because he diverts his energy to making money, saying he is not a good student, right? Teacher." Li Yong sat opposite Professor Zeng and took Liu Gen's place.
intercede.
Professor Zeng turned to look at Liu Gen, who was standing aside with his head bowed, and suddenly asked: "Do you make money to study? Or do you study to make money?"
Liu Gen was stunned. This is one question, but it is also two questions. He thought that what Professor Zeng asked was probably his own value orientation in life, whether he wanted to make money or study. Liu Gen really couldn't understand why Professor Zeng asked this question.
Li Yong took a look and saw that he seemed to be looking at Professor Zeng as confused as he was.
"Answer my question, have you become mute? Where has your wildness gone in class?" Professor Zeng provocatively urged Liu Gen to answer.
Liu Gen was asked aggressively by Professor Zeng, which forced his rebelliousness to emerge again. He stared at Professor Zeng's eyes, whose upper eyelids were about to cover his eyeballs due to muscle relaxation. He did not answer the question, but asked: "Professor Zeng
Do you make money to teach? Or do you teach to make money?”
"Liu Gen..." Li Yong was shocked and stood up: "You..."
Professor Zeng seemed to be stunned by Liu Gen's rhetorical question. When Li Yong stood up and drank Liu Gen's words, he burst out laughing. He looked at Li Yong and said, "This kid has the same virtues as you did more than 20 years ago. Just now you
Did you hear that? What he asked me was exactly the same as your answer back then. In this boy, I saw what you, Li Yong, looked like more than twenty years ago!"
Liu Gen didn't see any anger in Professor Zeng, nor could he hear any displeasure in him. He thought that he was dead now, and quietly waited for Professor Zeng's resignation.
But Li Yong smiled: "Liu Gen, why don't you thank Professor Zeng for your unreasonable forgiveness?"
Liu Gen immediately said respectfully: "Professor Zeng, sometimes I really feel confused. I want to study and make money. I think studying is not just to have a decent job in the future and earn money to support my family.
However, I have done something in advance that no one can escape..."
Professor Zeng interrupted Liu Gen, pointed to a chair and said: "Liu Gen, sit down."
Liu Gen sat on the chair with some anxiety, waiting for Professor Zeng's lecture.
Professor Zeng said with a straight face: "Liu Gen, I hope you can maintain this clear-cut personality and don't imitate him." He pointed at Li Yong and said: "After serving as an official for several years, he lost his original qualities, but
, Fortunately, he has now returned to his true nature, being his little Li Feidao, and is no longer the Principal Li whom everyone respects."
Only then did Liu Gen understand why others said Professor Zeng was a weirdo. This old man was really different, and his way of teaching people was so special. He couldn't help but respect this old man and listen to his teachings carefully.
After walking out of Professor Zeng's office with Li Yong, Li Yong told Liu Gen that when he was a student, he once went to a construction site to make money on the weekend and was so tired that he overslept on Monday morning and was late for Professor Zeng's class.
The professor made him stand at the door to listen to the class, feeling very unconvinced. After class, Professor Zeng asked, "Do you earn money to study? Or do you study to earn money?" At that time, Li Yong asked disrespectfully, "Teacher Zeng, do you earn money to earn money?"
Teaching? Or teaching to make money?', exactly the same as Liu Gen's conversation with Professor Zeng today, except that at that time Li Yong said 'Mr. Zeng', while Liu Gen said 'Professor Zeng' today, because at that time, Professor Zeng
He is just a lecturer, not a professor.
Although Professor Zeng forgave Ryu Gen, the school still punished Ryu Gen for his unreasonable behavior towards the professor and placed him on probation for one year. The criticism was circulated to the whole school and could be seen everywhere on the newspaper column of Nanhai Comprehensive University.
Principal Qin's name was stamped with a red official seal.
This made Liu Gen famous not only in Nanhai Comprehensive University School of Medicine, but also in the entire Nanhai University. At least people who had never met him knew the name Liu Gen.
Xia Yang went to the cafeteria for lunch the next day and saw the notice posted on the newspaper column. It was Saturday. After lunch, she ran to Shiweitian to find Liu Gen, thinking that he would be extremely frustrated by this.
Want to comfort him.
The next day, the transport truck arrived at Nanhai at about two o'clock in the morning, but the beef and mutton were still not sold out. However, the remaining meat was less than one ton. After selling it to the meat processing factory at a low price, not only did it not lose money, but the goods for this day were also sold.
There is a profit.
When Xia Yang hurriedly rode to the store, Liu Gen happened to be listening to Chen Hao's optimistic report. Ouyang Xue was sitting next to Liu Gen. Xia Yang could not see the frustration on Liu Gen's face at all.
"Brother Liu Gen, why are you not sad at all?" Xia Yang looked at Ouyang Xue and then at Liu Gen, feeling sour in her heart. She knew that Liu Gen and Ouyang Xue were classmates. After Ouyang Xue warmly greeted her and sat down, she asked strangely.
.
"Sad...why should I be sad?" Liu Gen said cheerfully: "It's too late for me to be happy, so how could I be sad?"
"But... I saw the school's punishment of keeping you on probation for one year, and I thought you would... Brother Liu Gen, are you willing to be punished?"
"Haha..." Liu Gen saw Xia Yang sweating on his forehead and looked anxious. He laughed and said, "Xia Yang, why are you sweating profusely and coming to comfort me because of this?"
Ouyang Xue felt that Liu Gen's words hurt Xia Yang's heart too much. She touched Liu Gen with her elbow and said with a smile: "Xia Yang, are you anxious about being punished for your brother Liu Gen?"
"I'm almost dying of anxiety, but I didn't expect Brother Liu Gen to act as if nothing had happened." Xia Yang pouted and said.
"Then you want to see me crying and screaming? Haha..."
"You're still laughing!" Xia Yang rolled his eyes at Liu Gen with an angry look.
"You are making money, can you not laugh?" Liu Gen said: "The huge stone that was weighing on my heart during this period has finally been smashed, and I feel relaxed all over."
"Making money...aren't you making money every day? Is it worth being so complacent?" Xia Yang said mockingly, glancing at Ouyang Xue next to Liu Gen from the corner of his eye.
"I have to thank you and Uncle Xia for this." Liu Gen looked at Xia Yang and said, "It was Uncle Xia who helped Jia Hekai find a state-owned meat factory in the provincial capital that was about to close down. We were able to start the beef and mutton business so smoothly. Xia Yang
, do you know what this means to our Shiweitian?" Liu Gen replied before Xia Yang asked: "This means that Shiweitian will enter a new stage. If everything goes well, the third branch will be opened.
, it can be opened within this year.”
"Xia Yang, don't worry about your brother Liu Gen. Go to my dormitory. Mr. Chen and Liu Gen have something to discuss." Ouyang Xue took Xia Yang's hand.
"Xia Yang, don't you want to teach me how to play tennis? I'll call you two after we finish talking with Mr. Chen later. I haven't exercised well in a long time." Liu Gen said when Xia Yang was leaving with Ouyang Xue.
"I also want to learn tennis, Xia Yang, please teach me too." Ouyang Xue then said to Liu Gen: "Liu Gen, Xia Yang and I will go to the court first. You can find us there later."
"But I didn't bring a racket." Xia Yang said.
"I do. After I bought it, no one taught me. If I had known earlier that you could play tennis, I might have learned it by now."
Ouyang Xue and Xia Yang were talking and walking back to school hand in hand.
Liu Gen and Chen Hao continued to discuss some details of the beef and mutton trade over the past two days.
