At present, many universities and scientific research institutions in China have hired experts, scholars and celebrities from all walks of life as chair professors, and regularly or irregularly give lectures, lectures and exchanges for the students of their organizations. These chair professors may come from the government, financial institutions, IT circles, media circles, etc., and of course, more are from the top professors in their majors.

Bian Yiding's banquet for Xiao Yao today was obviously not a hasty decision, but a full preparation in advance.

He should have learned about Xiao Yao's attitude and thoughts in detail from Lin Yuxuan and Cheng Yu, otherwise he would not have been able to directly hire him as a chair professor.

These days, many schools have handed Xiao Yao olive branches, but most of them have hired him as a visiting professor or a full-time professor, and this is the first time that the colleges have hired him as a chair professor.

This not only shows that Hanzhou Academy of Fine Arts attaches great importance to him, but also solves the problem of teaching hours.

The chair professor is not a full-time teacher, the teaching time is more flexible, the length of time depends on the agreement between the two parties, you can have a plan for normal teaching, or you can concentrate the teaching within one or two months, if the big chair professor really can't spare time, it is okay to give a few public lectures or give a few lectures per semester.

Xiao Yao had already felt Bian Yiding's sincerity, but he still said: "I'm too young to bear the burden of being a chair professor, thank you Dean Bian and the professors and leaders of the Hanzhou Academy of Fine Arts for your attention, if I have the opportunity in the future, I can do more exchanges with the professors of the Academy of Fine Arts, and the actual teaching work is still unnecessary, so as not to mislead people." ”

As for Xiao Yao's attitude, Bian Yiding had already understood it very clearly, Xiao Yao opened his mouth to refuse, completely in his expectation, he was not discouraged, and continued to say: "Professor Xiao is too modest, several of your works have been included in the textbooks of major art academies, based on the academic papers of your works, at least more than 30 articles have been included in the world's top journals in the art category." ”

"Your achievements in painting have been universally respected by the global art community, and if you were to select a few of the world's greatest contemporary artists, your name would definitely be yours. If even a top master in the industry like you can't be a chair professor, then who else can?"

Although he is the president of the Hanzhou Academy of Fine Arts, he can't just say that he can hire a chair professor, and after he makes a proposal, if he can't get the approval of the majority, he can't just go his own way.

If he proposed other candidates, it might not be so easy to get passed, but the candidate he proposed was Xiao Yao, and no one objected, and everyone expected him to hire Xiao Yao to teach at the school.

Everyone has this idea, neither because of his high prestige, nor because Xiao Yao's fame is really so big.

The reason why his proposal was able to pass so smoothly was entirely because of interests.

Hiring Xiao Yao as a chair professor of the Academy of Fine Arts will not harm anyone's interests, but will bring huge benefits to the professors and lecturers of the academy.

Xiao Yao is so famous now, once they create a new work, they will definitely be the first to be close to the water, and they will be able to appreciate it first. With Xiao Yao's consent, they can write several papers and publish them from all angles of their new works.

As long as Xiao Yao's work is good enough to maintain the previous level, it is possible to publish his paper in the world's top journals.

It is not easy for professors at the Academy of Fine Arts to create impactful works, and it is equally difficult to publish papers in top journals.

Xiao Yao, a top contemporary art master who has attracted the attention of the global art world, came to teach at the college, which is what all the professors of the college are happy to see.

Before meeting Xiao Yao, Bian Yiding had made a lot of relevant preparations. He learned that Xiao Yao was still a wealthy man, with several companies under his name, such a person must not be short of money, and his usual work must be very busy, so he should not be able to spare time to devote to teaching.

If you want Xiao Yao to agree to his employment, you must put yourself in his shoes and relieve him of his worries, so that there is a possibility of success.

"I'm just lucky to have a little fame, the false name of being an honorary professor is already trembling, being a chair professor, it's too showy, I like to be quiet, I don't like to be disturbed, I think it's better to have more than one thing, it's better to keep a low profile. "After all, it is Cheng Yu's senior brother, Xiao Yao is not good at dealing with it too much, it is better to tell the truth.

"Your reputation is loud enough now, even if you accept the offer of chair professor, it will only be the icing on the cake, and it will not have any real impact. ”

Xiao Yao said his true thoughts, and Bian Yiding also said what was in his heart: "Professor Xiao is not an outsider, and I won't hide it from you, I hired you as the chair professor of the college, just to pull the banner of the tiger and borrow your name, as long as you accept the hiring, everything is easy to say, if you have time, just give a few more classes, if you don't have time, even if you don't teach a class, it doesn't matter." I have just been transferred to the Hanzhou Academy of Fine Arts, and I urgently need to make some achievements, if Professor Xiao does not object, I would like to borrow your name. ”

In the society of human affection, the network of relationships is everywhere, and Xiao Yao is also in the network, and he can't do it without recognizing his relatives and not talking about a little affection.

Although he and Bian Yiding met for the first time, Bian Yiding was Cheng Yu's eldest brother, even if it was for Cheng Yu's face, he had to have enough respect.

If it was the leader of another academy, he might not even have the opportunity to meet him, let alone listen patiently to the other party's words.

Bian Yiding's meaning is very clear, he is a chair professor is a mascot. If he wants to be conscientious, of course it is better, and if he can't find the time, then it doesn't matter, he is a chair professor as a name.

If Bian Yiding invited him in the name of the dean of the college, there was nothing wrong with him directly refusing. But if you ask him for help in a private name, and on the premise that you don't cause him any more trouble, then it is difficult for him to refuse.

Anyone has vanity, even with Xiao Yao's current state of mind, he still can't avoid this.

He didn't care at all about the honor of the chair professor of the Academy of Fine Arts, but he was afraid of trouble and really couldn't find time to engage in teaching.
