Geng Chaozhong was stunned, of course he was just pretending, this was exactly the purpose of coming to Yenching University.
At this time, the general history of the West was actually a very new course for Chinese academic circles. Looking at colleges and universities across the country, except for the course specially designed for Geng Chaozhong at Nanjing Women's Public School, only Yenching University had just launched this course half a year ago.
courses, and this is because Yenching University is a church school, and the creation of this course is also a requirement of the American church.
Because of this, there are very few teachers who can teach the general history of the West. The two teachers at Yanda now are just guest stars.
Seeing that Geng Chaozhong was in a daze, Stuart Leighton couldn't help but smile and said: "Mr. Zhou, our Western General History class has just started, and we are hoping to get some advice from the Fang family. Since Mr. Zhou has studied Western history, he can be an observer and check it out for us.
It’s also good to fill in the gaps. Besides, at Yanda University, we can’t help but have people who are eager to learn come and watch.”
"Then I would be disrespectful," Geng Chaozhong nodded quickly after hearing this, "It's just, it's just..."
Speaking of this, Geng Chaozhong's face turned a little red.
"Mr. Zhou, don't worry." Leighton Stuart saw Geng Chaozhong's embarrassment at a glance. "There is a staff dormitory behind the school. Mr. Zhou can live there first. It will be more convenient for him in the future. Then he can move out or make other choices."
"I feel ashamed and have no place for no merit," Geng Chaozhong waved his hands repeatedly, "Why don't you forget it, I can find a place nearby to live temporarily..."
"Sir, you don't have to be polite." Before he finished speaking, Situ interrupted Geng Chaozhong's excuse. "It has only been three years since the school moved to Yanyuan. There is a huge gap in teaching staff. If you don't mind it, sir, I can help you in the school."
How about the school arranges a position for me to stay temporarily?"
"Really?" Geng Chaozhong looked overjoyed.
"Of course it's true," Situ said with a smile, "Our Yan University was in the eastern suburbs before, and we moved here not long ago. We have been recruiting suitable candidates for English teaching, logistics assistants, and foreign affairs supervisors. There is a shortage of people everywhere.
,This matter is well known to everyone in the educational circles in Peiping.”
"Is there any shortage of people in the library?" Geng Chaozhong asked.
"This..." Situ scratched his scalp, this question really stumped him.
The library is a branch of the Assistant Logistics Department, and he really doesn't know whether there is a shortage of people. However, what he just said was so clear. Did Mr. Zhou not understand it this time or something?
It seems that this person is obsessed with learning and has no knowledge of world affairs, so he is not suitable for organizational management jobs.
Leighton Stuart pondered for a moment, then spoke again: "I wonder how good your English is, sir? If your foreign language skills are acceptable, you can serve as a foreign language translator in the teaching department. This position does not require any human contact, and it is just a matter of translating some Western textbooks, magazines and publications on weekdays.
"
"Well," Geng Chaozhong hesitated, "I still prefer the job of a librarian. In my spare time, I can read a lot of books and gain knowledge. I hope Principal Situ will take care of me."
He doesn't want to be a foreign language translator. That doesn't mean he won't be able to do it. The point is, the translation work is complicated. If he really wants to do it, how can he have time to reorganize the Peking Station?
"Oh, you are so stupid," Zhao Ersheng next to him couldn't help but say, "Uncle Situ arranged such a good position for you, but you don't want to do it, but you want to be a librarian. Are you a stubborn person?"
Leighton Stuart was angry and glared at Zhao Ersheng, then turned his head and glanced at Geng Chaozhong. Mr. Zhou's refusal must be due to his poor foreign language skills, so he smiled and said:
"Let's do this. Mr. Zhou will send this old gentleman to the charity home first. After thinking about it carefully, you can come here to find me. I'm on the second floor of Petain Building. You can come to me at any time."
"Okay," Geng Chaozhong agreed quickly and turned around and asked, "Where is the charity house?"
"I'll take you there!" Zhao Ersheng next to him cheered.
"Okay, Er Sheng, please take Mr. Zhou and this old man over first, and come back early after finishing your business. Don't be too playful. Your father told me not to let you play around and delay your studies." Stuart Lei said.
face, looking at Zhao Ersheng and said.
"Uncle Situ, I know!" Zhao Ersheng bulged his mouth and shook Leighton Stuart's arm coquettishly.
After bidding farewell to Leighton Stuart, the two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, supported Old Geng and slowly walked towards the village behind Yanyuan, where the charity home commissioned by the church to set up by Yanjing University was located.
Zhao Ersheng walked briskly and asked Geng Chaozhong curiously as he walked:
"You are studying Western general history, so you shouldn't be fluent in foreign languages, right? Why don't you be a translator but become a librarian? Librarians are very tiring. In addition to sorting out books, they sometimes have to help professors deliver books and newspapers.
How can a translation job be comfortable?”
"Translation work is the same and too boring. I am not as good as a librarian. Although it is a bit tiring, I can read whatever I want and feel much more comfortable." Geng Chaozhong looked at Zhao Ersheng and said with a smile.
I didn’t pay much attention to this little girl when I first saw her. Now I look at her clothes. Although she is also wearing a Chinese-style skirt, the jade bracelets on her hands and the hairpins in her hair are both expensive things. In addition, she was wearing a Chinese-style skirt.
Leighton Stuart had a close relationship and obviously had a good family background.
"You literati are all eccentric," the little girl shook her head. "A few days ago, Professor Deng came to teach the history of the Qin and Han Dynasties. He didn't teach anything in the first class. In the first sentence, he started scolding Mr. Hu Shizhi.
, I scolded him for a whole class, and everyone’s eyes were wide open after listening to it.”
"Haha," Geng Chaozhong was also happy, "What did he say?"
"He said: There is a man named Hu in the city. His name is Hu Shi. He is talking nonsense." The little girl bit her lip, "I think he is talking nonsense. Mr. Hu Shizhi is so good. He is so good-looking.
He is very knowledgeable, but he is not like that old antique, who is always busy and annoying to death."
"Haha," Geng Chaozhong smiled from ear to ear, "Then why didn't you go to Mr. Hu Shi and come to Yenching University instead?"
"I would like to go, but my dad won't let me!" Zhao Ersheng frowned and said, "By the way, Mr. Zhou, do you think the Japanese army will enter the city?"
"Probably not! I'm just a scholar, and I don't know anything about military affairs. You're asking the wrong person." Geng Chaozhong shook his head.
"My dad said it doesn't matter whether the Japanese enter the city or not. Anyway, there are Japanese everywhere in Beiping now. Look at our Yanjing University, many people have gone to Shanghai." Zhao Ersheng said.
"Is this the reason why Yenching University is short of people?" Geng Chaozhong frowned.
"That's right! My dad was going to leave too, but my mom said it would be troublesome for such a big family to move there. Besides, my grandpa is not in good health and can't walk so far." Zhao Ersheng also frowned.
He stood up, looking very worried.
"Don't worry, a war is a war, life has to go on," Geng Chaozhong raised his head and pointed to a yard in front, "Is it here?"
"This is here. Look, I led the way, but you found the place first!" Zhao Ersheng smiled sheepishly and ran quickly to open the door.
