After some encouragement from Xiang Nan, Liu Chunjiang finally calmed down and no longer looked like he was dying.
Xiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
In fact, Liu Chunjiang died for love, which is a pity for his talent.
After all, it was still rare to get a bachelor's degree in medicine from abroad in the 1920s.
And Xiang Nan believes that as he works hard for his career, he will definitely meet more outstanding girls. By then, he might forget about Xiao Lian.
After all, time is the best antidote to a broken heart.
…
Xiang Nan then left the Liu family, returned home, and returned Xiao Lian's letter to her.
"Burn them all, don't keep any of them." He told Xiao Lian.
"Seventh Young Master, are Mr. Liu okay?" Xiao Lian asked with concern.
After all, I once truly loved you, so I won’t give up so easily.
"Don't worry, after some persuasion from me, he decided to focus on his career from now on." Xiang Nan explained, "Maybe he will forget about you soon."
"That's fine." Xiao Lian was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
It is as if we have forgotten each other in the rivers and lakes. Besides, she is now Xiang Nan's, so it would be a blessing to end it like this.
"Yes. Okay, don't think about him anymore." Xiang Nan comforted, "From now on, you can prepare for pregnancy with peace of mind and wait until you become the concubine of the Jin family."
When Xiao Lian heard this, she felt a little embarrassed.
…
Half a month later, Xiang Nan received news from Jin Rong and learned that Leng Qingqiu had been admitted to the Chinese Department of Yanjing Higher Normal School.
After receiving the news, Xiang Nan immediately asked his father to help him teach at Yanjing Higher Normal School.
"If you want to be a Qingliu or a professor, you should go to Peking University, Yenching University, and Tsinghua University. These are all famous schools, and your peers are also famous. Only by working there will you make progress.
Yanjing Higher Normal School is not a famous school at all. It would be a waste of energy to teach anywhere. "When Jin Quan heard this, he curled his lips and said.
Today, there are few universities in Yanjing City. However, there are only a few such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, Yanda University, Beijing Normal University, Zhongda University, University of China and France, and Chaoyang University.
And the fees for these universities vary. For public universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua University, tuition fees range from 40 to 60 yuan per academic year; for church universities such as Yanda, tuition fees rise to 100 yuan per academic year; and for institutions such as China University of Science and Technology, the University of China and France, and For private universities such as Chaoyang University, the tuition fee per academic year is even two to three hundred yuan.
Therefore, at that time, college was not affordable for children from poor families. After all, the monthly salary of an ordinary person is only about ten yuan, and a year's tuition alone costs less than half a year's salary, not counting the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Ordinary families simply cannot afford it.
However, there are exceptions, such as normal schools in various places, which offer free tuition and even free accommodation fees. Leng Qingqiu, who passed the Yenching Higher Normal School, is one of them.
Otherwise, with her uncle's stingy attitude, even if she could get into Peking University or Tsinghua University, her uncle would not let her go.
However, compared with Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Yanjing University, Yanjing Normal University is not really a good school. No wonder Jin Quan expressed opposition. After all, no one knows the importance of the platform better than him.
"Father, that's why I chose Yan Normal University." Xiang Nan explained, "I don't have a high reputation now, and I don't have academic works by my side. If I go to Peking University or Tsinghua University reluctantly, I won't be recognized by others. On the contrary, You will be looked down upon and thought you entered through the back door.
At that time, it became the target of public criticism. Not only can't you gain fame, but you will be targeted. Even you can be affected. As the saying goes, if virtue is not matched, there will be disaster.
But Yan Normal University is different. It is not a prestigious school, so the threshold for hiring professors is low. With my current reputation and status, it’s just the right time to go. And after I achieve success, it won’t be too late to teach at Peking University or Tsinghua University. "
Jin Quan nodded after hearing this.
What Xiang Nan said does make some sense.
As the Prime Minister of his cabinet, it is indeed not difficult to arrange for his son to become a professor at Peking University and Tsinghua University. However, such a blatant use of the back door will inevitably attract criticism, and it is difficult to be criticized by the public.
In comparison, if you go to Yan Normal University, you won't have these problems.
Moreover, nowadays, professors don’t just teach in one university. During the Republic of China, professors changing jobs was as easy as eating. Many famous teachers even teach in more than one school.
It would be a good choice for my son to go to Yan Normal University first, and then use it as a springboard to go to Peking University and Tsinghua University.
…
Later, Xiang Nan went to Yan Normal University.
Although he has not graduated from college, with his current fame and talent, it is not too high to go to Yancheng Normal University to teach. And he also taught Chinese language for the freshman year.
"Yanxi, we have so much money, why do we need to go out to do things?" Bai Xiuzhu asked puzzledly.
Xiang Nan's monthly salary is only one hundred yuan. Of course it was a lot for ordinary people, but her dowry alone cost half a million yuan, which was really not worth a mere 100 yuan.
In her opinion, Xiang Nan might as well stay at home with her and let her pay the hundred yuan.
"Hey, a man can't spend his whole life eating, drinking, having fun, and doing nothing. He must have a career of his own." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Otherwise, his life in this world will be in vain."
"Like my elder brother, you always talk about career. I think you are just an official fan." Bai Xiuzhu said with a smile.
Xiang Nan then went to Yan Normal University to report.
"It is also an honor for our school that Mr. Jin can come to teach in our school." Principal Ge Liben said with a smile.
Yancheng Normal University is not a prestigious school, and because tuition is free, it relies entirely on financial allocations to maintain it. Therefore, as the son of the Prime Minister, Xiang Nan comes to teach, which is really an honor for the school. It will be much easier to apply for funding in the future.
"Principal, please don't call me that, just call me Yanxi." Xiang Nan said modestly, "It is also an honor for me to come to your school to teach. I also hope to cultivate more talents for the education sector in the future. Tao Li Man Tian teaches more good students."
"Brother Yanxi has such an ideal, which is really admirable." Ge Liben said with a smile, "Do you have time tonight? I would like to treat you to a drink."
"You don't have to be polite, principal. It's my turn to treat you. How about I treat you to a drink on Saturday night?" Xiang Nan said with a smile. He has seen that Ge Liben is a bureaucrat, which is good, as it will help him do things better.
"Okay, brother, if you invite me, I will definitely go." Ge Liben nodded and smiled.
After the greetings, Xiang Nan was personally accompanied by Ge Liben to the teacher's room of the Chinese Department.
"Teachers, this is the new teacher Jin Yanxijin. I believe everyone has heard of his name. "Thunderstorm", "You Are April in the World", "Fragmented Chapter", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" " and so on are all written by him." Principal Ge introduced with a smile, "It can be said that he is a rare newcomer in the literary world. It is also an honor for our Yan Normal University to join our Yan Normal University. Everyone applauds and welcomes him!"
Many people here have heard of Xiang Nan's name. They quite recognized his literary talent. Not to mention poetry, but one drama "Thunderstorm" is enough to establish his position in the literary world.
