Subtitle of this chapter: Master Yuan who guards the "wood" and treats the "master".

………………

"Host, please wait a minute......"

"Mr. Yuan, please wait a minute......"

Our Master Yuan said in his heart, I am waiting for you.

Major Patton stepped forward to shake his hand and said, "Mr. Yuan, what you said today has a lot to say to me...... Well, help. Thank you. If it's convenient for you, can we talk a little bit more about that? ”

Yuan Yanqian nodded "calmly" and said, "Major Patton, of course you can." It is my pleasure. ”

Major Patton said clearly, "Then I would like to invite you to Fort Myer. We had a nice view and we could go horseback riding together. ”

"I'm glad to ride a horse......"

"Bell, bell, bell, temporary mission 'Patton'...... To be continued! ”

"As a penalty for failure, deduct 3 points of the host's strength."

"Doodoo, the host's way of completing the quest was praised by the Prince of Lies, and this quest was upgraded to a series of quests 'Spiritual Mentor'. Host power is not deducted for the time being. ”

"Quest Content: Become a spiritual mentor to famous people in history."

"Current list: George Smith Barton Jr. (selected), Henry Harry Arnold (optional), Cao Linsheng (optional)."

"Series of mission rewards: TBD, you can temporarily not receive rewards for each mission success, and the task rewards will be more generous after stacking with the next success."

"Mission Failure Penalty: TBD, Failure Penalty Can Be Eliminated or Reduced with Mission Reward."

This series of missions looks like trying to make yourself the leader of a "new religion".

"Then, Mr. Yuan, see you another day."

"Mr. Yuan, goodbye."

"Major Barton, I'll definitely visit you. Captain Arnold, we'll have a chance to eat together again. ”

Yuan Yanqian watched the two US military officers leave, and after a while, Shi Zhaoji and his wife and the attachés also got out of the car one after another. Of course, there was a queue outside the station to greet him.

However, Master Yuan didn't like to join in this kind of excitement, and after saying hello to Minister Shi, he walked out of Washington Union Station alone with a suitcase.

The station was the second largest station at the time after Pennsylvania Station, and the style of the two stations was the same. It looks like the Baths of Diocletian, a favorite of the ancient Romans, and Washington Union Station has a Constantinople-like triumphal arch.

"Rainbow, I'm here!"

As soon as he arrived near the Arc de Triomphe, a white-faced scholar with eyes greeted him cheerfully and loudly.

Our Master Yuan also smiled and said with disgust: "Bo Hong, tell you not to come to pick me up, you still came." It's so gracious. ”

The visitor hurriedly stepped forward, held his hand with some excitement and said, "What a welcome, we haven't seen each other in New York for three years since the year before last, and you are now a family, brother!" I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. ”

Yuan Yanqian nodded and said, "Well, I won't tell you, even I didn't think of it." ”

Bo Hong is a fellow villager and classmate of Hongji.

This gentleman's surname is Meng Xiancheng, a native of Wujin, Jiangsu, and was also born in 1894. He is currently pursuing a master's degree in education at George Washington University. In the second half of this year, he will go to the Institute of Education at the University of London in the United Kingdom to continue his studies.

After returning to China, he successively taught at Southeast University, St. John's University, Guanghua University, Tsinghua University, Central University, Beijing Normal University, Zhejiang University and other universities. After liberation, he served as the director of the Education Department of the East China Military and Political Commission and the director of the Education Bureau of the East China Administrative Committee. In 1951, he became the first president of East China Normal University, and yes, this is the historical case.

What is called relationship, this is called relationship!

If Yuan Yanqian hadn't died young on the original timeline, he would definitely have his own encyclopedia entry in the future with his social connections.

The two of them exchanged a few words, and then walked out of the big railway station side by side, which was vulgar in Yuan Yanqi's eyes.

The future president of China Normal University warmly invited: "Hong Jian, if you go to my place for a few days, Washington is not like New York, and the hotel here is not very Chinese for us...... Friendly. ”

And Master Yuan raised his hand to call for a rental carriage, and said nonchalantly: "The hotel doesn't bother my brother, I've already booked it." ”

The hotel he booked this time was called Roseood Rosewood. The hotel looks unremarkable, boxy and square, but it is also an upscale hotel with a long history. So Yuan Yanqian, a Chinese, encountered a soft nail and a poker face at the front desk.

"I'm sorry, sir. Our rooms here are full. ”

"Oh, is that so?" Master Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's okay, my secretary has booked it for me." And my luggage should have arrived, too. ”

The receptionist frowned, opened the notebook and asked suspiciously, "May I ask ...... you are?"

"Mr. Yuan, right? I'm the foreman of Rosewood. At this moment, a smiling manager came out from the back and said very politely, "Mr. Yuan, your luggage has arrived, and it has been sent to the room for you." ”

Yuan Yanqian is also a rich man now, isn't he the kind of donkey passenger who can go on the road with a bag on his back, and he will bring a small box when he comes to Washington?

How can one box of so many clothes for different occasions be enough, so naturally he has to check in his luggage.

The foreman picked up a bunch of keys and said enthusiastically, "I'll take you two up." ”

Well, Master Yuan's face is now so big, big enough for the lobby foreman to serve in person. On the one hand, because he is a famous family, and on the other hand, because he is a friend of a Wall Street tycoon.

There's still a lot of room for improvement for him, and of course it's something he needs to keep working on.

Yuan Yanqian also had her own considerations when choosing this hotel. Rosewood is located just off Georgetown, just a half-hour walk from the White House and the State Department.

When our Master Yuan comes to Washington, D.C., he doesn't necessarily go back to New York after meeting Secretary Hughes. He has other plans. Of course, it would be best if you could get acquainted with President Harding and deepen your relationship with Vice President Coolidge.

If he could get acquainted with more government officials and senators, it would also be very helpful for his "grand plan".

Next to the hotel is George Washington University, where Meng Xiancheng studied.

This institution of higher learning, named after the founding father of the United States, is naturally also a prestigious school. Its Columbia College of Arts and Sciences is the oldest in the United States and the first educational institution to be qualified to award a "Doctor of Philosophy." (Author's note: Again, Ph.D. is not a Ph.D. in philosophy, but an honorary title.) ）

According to Yuan's history, there is a big man who will arrive in Washington in April. Not only will he be received by President Harding, but he will also give an academic lecture at the university.

And this historical figure will also stay at this hotel.
