At this time, there were no high-rise buildings in Beijing City. Compared with a hundred years later, the skyline was suddenly much lower.
Jingshan is the highest point in the city. As long as Jingshan is set as a reference, it will be easy to find Beida next to it.
Just walking and asking around like this, in less than ten minutes, Chen Muwu found a side entrance of Beida University from Dongbanqiao Hutong.
"Excuse me, I want to go into the school to find Professor Hu Shizhi." He handed the school policeman at the school gate a handwritten letter written by Hu Shizhi to prove his identity.
"Professor Hu's office is in the Philosophy Department on the second floor," the campus policeman pointed to the red building in the south of the school. "However, he is more likely to be in the large conference room on the first floor."
"Thank you."
Chen Muwu stepped on the cinder-paved playground, and there was a roaring sound from the other side of the playground. If he listened carefully, he could still hear the students' slogans of "driving out Peng and supporting Cai."
Entering the gate of the Red Building, Chen Muwu heard bursts of heated and heated words not far away. The source of the sounds must have been the large conference room that the campus police mentioned.
Then he thought about it, Hu Shi's presence would be indispensable in such a limelight occasion.
So Chen Muwu simply did not try his luck in the philosophy professor's office on the second floor, but walked directly to the door of the large conference room.
Wherever there is a crowd, there is a left, center and right.
He stood quietly outside the door for a while and already summarized the three opinions of everyone in the conference room.
Some people say that we should retain President Cai at all costs; some people say that let nature take its course. After President Cai leaves, we will just elect a new president. I heard that Lin Changmin has long been interested in the position of president of Beida University; and Some people are somewhere in between, saying that they might as well wait and see what happens, and if they wait and see, things may turn around.
The footsteps of pedestrians came from behind Chen Muwu, and then a voice rang in his ears: "Sir, what can I do for you?"
He turned around and saw that the visitor was a few years older than him, well-dressed and well-dressed. He saw that he was the professor who had come for the meeting, so he said politely: "I want to see Professor Hu Shizhi. The concierge said that he should hold the meeting here. I see The discussion inside is lively, so I don’t have the nerve to go in and interrupt. I want to wait here until everyone finishes the meeting.”
"Are you looking for Professor Hu? Then just wait a moment and I'll go in and call him out. Don't look at the meeting with so many people. It seems like a big scene, but in the end nothing can be discussed." The man curled his lips indifferently and made a judgment on the outcome of this meeting.
"That would be a lot of trouble."
Not long after this person entered, the door of the conference room was opened again, and a middle-aged man of short stature wearing a robe and mandarin jacket and wearing small round glasses walked out.
Chen Muwu recognized that he looked almost exactly like the photo in the history book, so he quickly raised his hands and said, "Mr. Shizhi, I am Chen Muwu."
With a little surprise and suspicion, Hu Shidai looked at him carefully up and down for a long time before returning the courtesy: "Mr. Chen, I have admired him for a long time, but I didn't expect that Mr. Chen is so young. He is indeed a young talent. Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth! "
"No, Mr. Shizhi is laughing."
"Mr. Chen, the reception was not good, the reception was not good. No one expected that such a mess would suddenly happen in the school. Let's go to the office to talk."
"Then Mu Wu will disturb Mr. Shizhi."
Chen Muwu followed Hu Shi up to the second floor and came to his office.
The house is not big, but it is very neat and clean.
Hu Shi poured water from the thermos bottle and made a cup of tea, brought it to Chen Muwu, pointed to the sofa on one side of the room and said, "Mr. Chen, sit down, sit down!"
Chen Muwu was too lazy to greet him and practice Tai Chi. He took the tea cup and asked straight to the point: "Professor Hu, now that this situation is happening in your school, can the agreed lectures be continued?"
Hu Shi smiled confidently: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, the lecture will still go on as scheduled. Today is Thursday, and in three days, the first lecture will go on as scheduled."
"However, with the current situation of the students, even if they can return to class, they probably won't have the intention to continue studying, right?"
"Mr. Chen, you don't know something. We invite you to give lectures, not for students in the physics department, but for people from all walks of life around Beijing who are interested in the theory of relativity. ..."
After listening to Hu Shi's explanation, Chen Muwu felt speechless. He thought the lecture was just a half-month course on the theory of relativity for students in the physics department.
For this reason, he also specially wrote lesson plans and prepared lessons in Jihai. He thought about taking people's money and could not just do it half-heartedly.
Unexpectedly, the lectures Hu Shi mentioned were actually in the nature of popular science lectures.
It seems that Bei Da regards himself as Einstein's substitute!
Compared with lectures, lectures are both simple and difficult.
The simple thing is that the lectures do not require advanced knowledge.
The difficult part is how to attract the audience's attention during the lecture.
Chen Muwu thought that most of the people sitting in the audience would have no basis in physics at all, just like the foreign celebrities who sat in the audience and listened to Einstein's lecture at the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau.
Fortunately, he still had time to reselect the topics of the five lectures.
That's right, Hu Shi told Chen Muwu that he only needed to hold five lectures in two weeks and easily get 500 yuan, which is equivalent to 100 yuan per lecture.
It’s so easy to make money!
Hu Shi also suggested that he go to the Chang'anchun Hotel in Dong'an Market to pick him up in the evening. However, Chen Muwu thought that it was inappropriate to go out for dinner and return home late before he even met the host of his host family, so he declined Hu Shi's offer. invite.
Before coming out of the office, Hu Shi was enthusiastic and took down a book from his bookshelf. He picked up his pen and wrote a few words on the title page before giving it to Chen Muwu.
Chen Muwu saw the title on the cover, "Collection of Hu Shi's Attempts", updated to the fourth edition.
This is the divine book!
He still remembered the song "Two yellow butterflies, both flying into the sky..." that he had seen in the junior high school history textbook, which gave him, who was still in the ignorant stage at the time, the illusion that writing poetry was actually a process. It was a very easy thing to do, so many "masterpieces" were left in QQ space that still make me blush when I read them.
Who hasn’t had a non-mainstream time?
Unexpectedly, today he got a book personally sent by the author. The key is that it also has a typewritten word "Mr. Chen Hanchen Hui Cun" and the author's autograph on it.
If word of this spreads and is sold to those petty bourgeoisie who admire Hu Shi at a high price, they will be able to make a lot of money again!
"Thank you sir for the book. I will definitely read the masterpiece seriously."
There is no shortage of politeness on the surface, but who knows whether Chen Muwu will actually read it in private?
