Zhang Zhong probably understood what Xu Wenxuan said. The two schools recruit students separately and then teach together. Of course, each will issue their own degree certificates.
However, Zhang Zhong still has some doubts. The gap between Jiangyang University and Jinling University is very obvious, which can be seen from the admission scores of the college entrance examination every year.
Now that two schools jointly run such a college, it is very likely that students from the same major will get different scores when they enter.
For Jiangyang University, this jointly run college is likely to require higher scores than other majors in the school.
As for Jinling University, it’s hard to say whether the score line is high or low. After all, it is co-organized with Jiangyang University, not Yenching University.
Zhang Zhong said, "Teacher Xu, I am not belittling myself. The gap between Jiangyang University and Jinling University is obvious to all. Aren't you afraid that this college will affect your school's admissions scores?"
"It doesn't matter, our school doesn't pay much attention to the filing line." Xu Wenxuan said.
They don't pay much attention to the admission line. This is something only these prestigious universities can say. If someone from Jiangyang University said they didn't care about the admission line, they would probably be sprayed to death.
That's right, for a university of Jinling University's level, even if some majors have relatively low first-class promotion standards, no one would think that Jinling University is no longer good.
Zhang Zhong pondered for a while. The joint school operation was a good thing for Jiangyang University, but he couldn't make the decision at all.
"Teacher Xu, what you said is a great thing, but again, I can't get involved in school affairs, so I still have to tell Principal Liu." Zhang Zhong said.
Xu Wenxuan smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that this matter has something to do with you, Teacher Zhang? Let me let you know. What Principal Qi means is that if the joint school thing comes to fruition, I will ask you to act as the agent."
The dean of the college, that’s why you asked me to come over and ask for your opinion.”
"Am I the acting dean?" Zhang Zhong was a little surprised. He originally thought that Xu Wenxuan said he had a relationship with him just because he taught literature at Jiangyang University.
As for the dean matter, although jointly running a school does not necessarily carry a heavy weight, being the dean of a college is not something that can be done casually. Apart from anything else, Zhang Zhong’s age is important here.
There are many university teachers in their twenties, but there are only a few who are in their twenties as dean of a college, that is, in special times.
Xu Wenxuan became the dean of the School of Philosophy at Jinling University in his forties, and he can be said to be young and promising.
As if he had expected Zhang Zhong's surprise, Xu Wenxuan said, "That's why I called you to ask for your opinion in advance. If you don't have this intention, then there is no need to continue this matter.
"
The implication of Xu Wenxuan's words is that this United College was built for Zhang Zhong. If Zhang Zhong was not the dean, there would be no need for this United College to exist.
Zhang Zhong is not a passionate young man, he just believes whatever Xu Wenxuan says.
It is also possible that the other party is just giving him face and flattering him. As for the matter of jointly running a school, it will not change according to his own will.
"But you don't have to rush to make a decision. This matter will definitely not be done overnight. The main purpose of calling me is to let you know about this matter, so that you can be mentally prepared, and then take some time to think about it."
Before Zhang Zhong could speak, Xu Wenxuan said again.
Zhang Dian nodded, "Okay, then I'll think about it carefully." Then he smiled and changed the subject, "When will Teacher Xu return to Jiangyang? We can get together."
Xu Wenxuan said with a smile, "I'm afraid it will have to wait until the next year, and I will definitely go back then."
"Then if you are free then, I will be the host and we will have dinner together."
"Of course that's good." Xu Wenxuan paused and continued, "I read your new book "The Adventures of Chun Yufen" and it benefited me a lot. When we meet again, I will ask you to sign the book.
Don’t refuse.”
"Teacher Xu, thank you. If you want to read a book, please let me know as soon as possible and I will send it to you."
"How dare you, how dare you, let your readers know that the great writer in their hearts made a special trip to send books to me, a teacher, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it." Xu Wenxuan said with a smile.
"Where, where..."
The two complimented each other and hung up the phone.
After ending the call, Zhang Zhong was still thinking about what Xu Wenxuan said. Jinling University suddenly wanted to jointly run a school with Jiangyang University, which was really beyond his expectation.
He connected this matter with a series of news he had obtained before, thinking that perhaps this school opening would also have an impact on the above, and it may not be the intention of Jinling University.
And if Liu Hong knew about this, he would probably be one hundred and eighty percent willing to join Jinling University, which would undoubtedly be a great thing for Jiangyang University.
Let's wait and see where things will go in the end. Only when the situation becomes clear can he decide whether to become the dean or not.
…
Zhang Zhong is publishing a new book again.
Just when readers were paying attention to Zhang Zhong's daily review of homework progress, Zero Zero One Company suddenly broke such news.
The new book "The Last Man on Earth" will be released on January 15th.
There are new books every month, which Zhang Zhong readers have gradually become accustomed to.
Everyone is guessing what the theme of this new book will be.
It's actually easy to guess, after all, the title of the book looks so sci-fi.
[It must be science fiction, what else is there to say about this title?]
[That seems to be the case, but what is the reality? The book has not been published and Zhang Zhong has not said it, so we are not sure yet. 】
[Maybe it’s a clickbait.]
[Stop guessing, I have inside information. This is a fantasy novel. Haven’t you noticed that Zhang Zhong’s recent books are more fantasy-heavy?]
[If it’s not fantasy, how about the live broadcast of Chopdiao upstairs? 】
[Don’t ask, the diao upstairs was chopped off last time.]
[His books are like this every time, and they don’t announce the release until the book is about to be on the shelves.]
[Isn’t this nonsense? He has new books every month. It would be unrealistic to do it several months in advance like others.]
[Forget it, just wait for the new book. This year’s Nebula Award and Hugo Award will be announced soon, and I don’t know if there will be any interest.]
[It’s basically finalized now, even if another science fiction book is published, it won’t have any impact.]
[It doesn’t matter, it can affect next year’s awards.]
Just when netizens were speculating about the theme of this new book, Zero Zero One Culture Co., Ltd. announced another piece of news.
"The new book "The Last Man on Earth" is a science fiction novel. It will be available for pre-sale on the official website on January 8. Readers who pre-order in advance will receive a collection waistband and may also get Zhang Zhong's autograph."
