"Thank you, thank you very much."
Chen Muwu stood on the stage and bowed and nodded to the enthusiastic audience, but he deliberately ignored Yun Zhonghe, who applauded the most enthusiastically.
However, with Xu Zhimo taking the lead, everyone at the scene gathered around and congratulated him on the success of his lecture. Everyone wanted to say a few words to this new scientific star who became famous in an instant.
Regarding Yan Renguang's invitation to teach, Chen Muwu declined, saying that he would go home and discuss it with his family before making a decision.
Chen Muwu agreed to Jiang Menglin's request to compile the contents of the five lectures into a book.
He also promised to donate his share of the royalties to purchase laboratory equipment for the Department of Physics of Beida University.
After a previous lecture, Chen Muwu was invited to visit the laboratory of the Department of Physics of Beida University, and was shocked by the dilapidated experimental equipment inside.
It is said to be a laboratory, but it can only be used for teaching purposes and has no conditions for scientific research.
Many of the equipments inside were inherited from the Capital University Hall period of the former Qing Dynasty, and some of them were even older than Chen Muwu.
Due to the shortage of equipment, the teaching experimental projects that can be carried out in the laboratory are also very limited. The most advanced equipment is nothing more than Fresnel prism interference.
You know, Fresnel originally conducted this experiment a hundred years ago.
Chen Muwu felt that the sales volume of his lecture manuscripts would not be too high, and the royalties would not be very high.
What's more, publishing a book has to go through a series of processes such as sorting, proofreading, typesetting, printing, and distribution. He didn't know that he would only be able to get the royalties for this book in the year of the monkey. Maybe he had already studied abroad at that time, so he might as well just be a favor.
Chen Muwu's move once again won applause from the audience.
The first one to rush out and praise him was Xu Zhimo again.
"Brother Hanchen is not only a great talent, but also a great righteous person!"
Xu Zhimo was so generous with his compliments over and over again that even a fool could see that he was very interested in making friends with Chen Muwu.
Chen Muwu was helpless, thinking that you, Mr., gave up your status as an auditor at Cambridge University at the end of last year and ran all the way back to China from the UK. Instead of pestering your beloved Miss Lin, what did you do to pester me instead?
But he didn't reach out to hit the smiling man. Although he already knew the other person's name, Chen Muwu could only hug his fists and asked in a pretentious manner: "Thank you for your love, brother. I wonder what your surname is, sir? Master?"
Xu Zhimo also returned the gift: "For the sake of your surname, Xu, just call me Zhimo."
"It turns out to be Brother Zhimo. I have admired him for a long time. I have read about his masterpieces in newspapers, and today I am finally lucky enough to meet him..."
Chen Muwu, who was too polite, got stuck here.
In his memory, Xu Zhimo was famous for his new poems, especially "Farewell Cambridge" in the textbook and "Accidental" sung by Yiping in the TV series "Love is Deep and Rainy".
But these poems were not born until several years later. The Crescent Society has not yet been established, and the name of Mr. Xu's poems is not yet apparent. What works of his have he read, and what can he admire for a long time?
You can't say that I read the news in the newspaper about your divorce with Zhang Youyi, which caused a storm in the city!
Just when Chen Muwu was worried that the next step would be embarrassing, "Hu Baoyi" Dr. Hu rushed in like a timely rain. He led Schulman to the stage and successfully saved the day.
"Hanchen, this is the American Minister Dr. Shulman. It is with the doctor's help that we were able to facilitate your coming to Bei University to give lectures this time."
Chen Muwu stretched out his right hand and seamlessly switched to English and said: "Mr. Minister, thank you for inviting me to give lectures at Bei University."
Schulman held Chen Muwu's hand tightly: "Chen, your speech was wonderful. To use an old Chinese saying, it is called, 'I have gained more benefit from one conversation with you than ten years of reading.'"
Chen Muwu thought for a long time before he figured out that the corresponding sentence should be "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading."
You have been a minister for two or three years, why can't you learn the local language?
He was chatting crazily in his mind, but he still had to be polite: "Mr. Minister, you are so complimentary."
Schulman simply put his left hand on the back of Chen Muwu's hand: "Chen, you have benefited me a lot today. After listening to your lecture, I can't help but yearn for it. If I can go back to the past through time travel, I must take you in advance." By enrolling at Cornell University, you may achieve even higher achievements than Professor Hu.”
Two nights ago in Donglaishun, Hu Shi confessed to Chen Muwu that Schulman intended to invite him to study at Cornell, so he went to such great lengths to invite him to meet in Beijing.
I didn't expect that this old American man would meet him so quickly.
The key is that if you invite me, just invite me. What are you doing if you step on me?
Dr. Hu is the most honorable person in the world. If he hates me because of your words in the future, what should I do?
Chen Muwu forced out a slightly regretful expression: "I'm sorry, Mr. Minister, I have to go back and discuss this matter with my family before making a decision. After all, going to the United States is not like coming to Beijing and sitting there for two days. It’s an overnight train ride away.”
Schulman heard the implication in his words. Although he felt a little unhappy, he felt that after all, Chen Muwu had not finished speaking, and there should be room for change: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, there are still more than half a year before the start of the autumn semester. As long as you notify me one month in advance, I can find a way to arrange for you to study at Cornell University."
Schulman still had official business to attend to. He had to rush back to the embassy to report to the domestic meeting the results of his investigation on Qiandao a few days ago, so he could only leave the lecture hall of the First Hospital of Bei University with reluctance.
Out of courtesy, acting principal Jiang Menglin sent the friendly people out of the school, and people in the audience began to leave one after another.
After dealing with Schulman, Chen Muwu turned to Hu Shi and comforted him: "I am able to come to Beijing this time thanks to Mr. Shizhi's warm invitation. Mr. Shizhi is famous all over the world, but he has not forgotten to support me, a junior. Mu Wu Wu will repay you, sir, please accept my respect."
After saying that, he took out the hand held tightly by Schulman and bowed to Hu Shi.
What I was thinking about was: Stop me! You don’t really want me to give you one, do you?
Chen Muwu's operation shocked Hu Shi. He quickly stopped the young man in front of him: "You can't do it, you can't do it!"
Seeing Chen Muwu straighten up with his help, he continued: "Hanchen, we two are very close, why are you doing this? Cornell University is also one of the strong universities in the United States. Studying abroad You still have to think twice about this."
Although the old principal just said something that Hu Shi did not want to hear, he believed that this was probably a misunderstanding caused by Americans who like to be straightforward and have a different way of thinking from the Chinese. Minister Schulman actually had no ill intentions.
In addition, Chen Muwu's performance gave him enough face in front of everyone, so Hu Shi did not forget Schulman's mission of asking him to be a lobbyist, and was still conscientiously persuading Chen Muwu to study in the United States.
He thought that he had given Chen Muwu the details in advance, told him how good life was in the United States, and had a great time drinking that night. Chen Muwu would definitely not refuse this invitation to study abroad.
But why did Chen Muwu's words to Shulman reveal that he didn't want to go to Cornell University?
Confused, Chen Hanchen, how can you refuse Mr. Minister’s kindness and not go to the United States to study?
If you do this, will I, Mr. Hu, still lose face in front of Americans?
