After Zhou Hexuan arrived in Shanghai, he introduced his uncle to Xu Zhimo and Zhang Jiazhu. Both of them had extensive connections and their families were rich. It was easy for Zhang Yuandong to get along in Shanghai with them.
Zhang Junmai, Xu Zhimo and Jiang Baili originally made an appointment to go to Tianjin to visit Liang Qi. However, they were busy with some things and had to postpone the plan until the National Day.
Zhou Hexuan stayed in Shanghai for two days and took Zhang Leyi back to Tianjin by boat. As for the official wedding, the date has not yet been selected.
On the deck, Zhou Hexuan and Zhang Leyi were blowing the sea breeze and looking at the waves.
Suddenly a young man wearing glasses came over. He was wearing a major general uniform and had a thin figure. He cupped his fists and smiled and said, "But Mr. Zhou Hexuan?"
Zhou Hexuan turned around and looked at the visitor with doubts, and said, "Exactly. Who is your honor?"
The young man smiled and said: "I, Luo Jialun, am the president of Tsinghua University and I am about to go north to take up my post."
The new president of Tsinghua University?
Zhou Hexuan was quite surprised because this man was really too young, only about 10 years old at most.
It is too outrageous for a 20-year-old major general to become the president of Tsinghua University.
"It turns out to be Principal Luo, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Zhou Hexuan said quickly, and then introduced, "This is my fiancée Zhang Leyi."
Luo Jialun nodded and greeted: "Hello, Miss Zhang."
"Hello, Principal Luo." Zhang Leyi smiled generously.
Luo Jialun chatted for a few more words and said seemingly unintentionally: "Does Principal Zhou know about the recent events in the education sector in the north?"
"I heard something." Zhou Hexuan said.
Luo Jialun laughed loudly: "Drive away Li Shizeng and welcome back President Zhou. This slogan is shouted loudly by Peking University students. If the president can do what Brother Zhou does, it is worth it. Brother Zhou is my role model."
"I don't dare to take it seriously." Zhou Hexuan couldn't guess what this guy wanted to say.
"Brother Zhou, what are your plans for the future?" Luo Jialun asked.
"Running a newspaper and writing articles, what else can you plan to do?" Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
Luo Jialun suddenly made an invitation: "Brother Zhou, why don't you come to Tsinghua University? The position of chairman of the history department is vacant."
Well, it turned out to be a letter of appointment.
Zhou Hexuan immediately refused and said: "I am very busy and live in Tianjin, so I really don't have time."
"Then how about being a visiting professor and only having one class per week?" Luo Jialun said persistently.
"I really don't have time. I appreciate Brother Luo's kindness." Zhou Hexuan said with a bitter smile.
However, Zhou Hexuan still underestimated Luo Jialun's determination. This man is so weird!
That night Zhou Hexuan had dinner, and Luo Jialun followed him. Zhou Hexuan returned to the cabin to sleep, and Luo Jialun also followed him. Even when he went to the toilet, Luo Jialun stayed outside.
Zhou Hexuan was so depressed that he wanted to kick him!
Let’s talk about Luo Jialun first. He also graduated from Peking University and scored zero in mathematics on the entrance exam. However, he was admitted by Cai Yuanpei and Hu Shi because of his beautiful composition. Like Cai Yuanpei, he actively instigated and cooperated with the party purge, thus getting Chang Kaishen.
Thanks to his appreciation, he was promoted to major general before he was a year old, and now he is appointed president of Tsinghua University.
Historically, Tsinghua University truly became bigger and stronger in the hands of Luo Jialun.
When this gentleman first took charge of Tsinghua University, Tsinghua University was still a missionary school supported by generous Boxer Indemnity payments from the United States. As soon as he took office, he made a big move and fired one-third of Tsinghua professors, including many foreign professors.
As for the reason, Luo Jialun believed that those professors were unqualified, either because of their poor academic level or their personal conduct.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Jialun personally hired various scholars and masters to teach, and carried out large-scale construction projects. Many of Tsinghua's later buildings were built during his tenure. Tsinghua, which originally favored liberal arts, crazily developed science and engineering in Luo Jialun's hands, setting the foundation for future outstanding Tsinghua universities.
Lay the foundation for science and engineering majors.
When Luo Jialun was the president of Tsinghua, Tsinghua spent more money per year than the other nine public universities in Beijing and Tianjin combined.
Rich and willful!
Luo Jialun never gave up once he set his goal. He once invited a scholar to Tsinghua University to be a professor. When the other party didn't agree, he simply stayed with someone else and invited him to Tsinghua University through hard work and persuasion.
As for the result, although Tsinghua University was transformed from a church university into a public university under the hands of Luo Jialun, and it grew rapidly. However, Luo Jialun himself was driven away by the teachers and students of Tsinghua University, and fled in embarrassment.
Because Luo Jialun used party education in Tsinghua University, calling on everyone to believe in the Three People's Principles, and also engaged in militarized management. He divided the whole school into four teams, and each team had a captain. The captain lived with the students and called on them morning and night.
There are strict rules on when to get up, when to go to bed, and even when to eat. Boys must also wear uniforms. In addition to playground training, there are also field exercises every week.
Who the hell can stand it?
Many students have the habit of reading at night and cannot get up in the morning. Later, the famous philosopher Zhang Dainian was originally admitted to Tsinghua University, but because he could not adapt to the morning exercises at 6:30 every day, he transferred to Beijing Normal University.
Zhou Hexuan couldn't bear it either. He thought that after the ship docked, Luo Jialun would go to Peking to become the principal.
Unexpectedly, Luo Jialun actually followed Zhou Hexuan and chased him to Zhou Hexuan's home.
"Brother Zhou, are you back?" Wanrong said happily.
Zhou Hexuan asked: "Are you alone?"
"Yaquan is still at work, and Xiaodong is sunbathing on the rooftop," Wanrong looked at Luo Jialun doubtfully, "Who is this gentleman?"
"Don't worry about him." Zhou Hexuan didn't even bother to introduce him.
Fortunately, he didn't introduce her, otherwise Luo Jialun would be so shocked that his eyes would fall off if he found out Wanrong's identity.
During dinner in the evening, several women sat at the same table, and one of them, Meng Xiaodong, was a little pregnant.
Luo Jialun was not surprised either. Marrying concubines was very common in the Republic of China. He sat still like a soldier, finished his meal in a few seconds, and just watched quietly.
Zhou Hexuan said dumbfounded: "Brother Luo, it's been more than a week since the school opened. Aren't you in a hurry to go to Tsinghua University to take up the post?"
"No rush, no rush, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry," Luo Jialun said in a leisurely tone, "If Mr. Zhou doesn't agree to be a professor at Tsinghua University, I won't leave. The vice president will arrange the school affairs."
This person is a dog-skin plaster person, and once it sticks, he can't shake it off.
Zhou Hexuan called the servant funny: "Help Mr. Luo arrange a guest room. From now on, he will cook for one more person at a time. He will stay here for a long time."
"Okay, sir." The servant immediately went to clean the guest room.
Do you think things are that simple?
That night, wherever Zhou Hexuan went, Luo Jialun followed him. Even when Zhou Hexuan entered Wanrong's room to have sex, this guy stood outside and listened in the corner, and even went to work at the newspaper office with Zhou Hexuan the next day.
In just one day, Zhou Hexuan collapsed. He raised his hands and said helplessly: "I'm convinced, President Luo. Isn't it okay if I agree to be a visiting professor at Tsinghua University?"
Luo Jialun was like a general who had won a battle, laughing loudly: "Then I will wait for Mr. Zhou at Tsinghua University and say goodbye!"
The god of plague finally left, and Zhou Hexuan breathed a sigh of relief.8
