Li Ji asked: "Although I know Chen Yinke and Zhao Yuanren and can be regarded as friends, I may not be able to persuade them to come to our Shiyu Institute. ”

While the idea is good, the reality can be a bit unrealistic. Chen and Zhao are basically academic predators, one studied at the University of Berlin in Germany, and the other is a Harvard doctorate, and they are about the same position as them academically, but it is too bad to use academics to coerce them, and the friendship is not up to it.

Yan Buwen reassured Li Ji: "I have my own considerations, and I have found the right person to handle this matter." ”

Li Ji's heart was relieved, just don't let yourself be a lobbyist. I am keen on my own field archaeology, and there is no need to say academic things, but it is also very good-looking, and it is of course not good for me to be rejected rashly.

"Good, good, good." Li Ji said hello three times in a row, and his excitement was overflowing.

If you want to recruit Chen Yinke and Zhao Yuanren, you have to say that there is one person, a character Fu Sinian and Fu Mengzhen who are calling for wind and rain in the Republic of China. This academic predator, Yan Yan, naturally can't ignore his influence. Fu Sinian returned to China last year, then taught at CUHK, and established a Institute of Language and History. So Fu Sinian contacted Yan Buwen for the first time, and after a polite conversation, he went straight to the point, before setting up a language and history research institute, and now he plans to run a history and language research institute in the Academia Sinica, the name is reversed, the original research institute is basically "local scholars", but it doesn't feel good, or "turtles" are good, and they want Europe and the United States, and now they need a lot of financial support, and ask Mr. Yan to donate generously, and Mr. Yan will definitely leave a strong mark in the history of archaeology in the future. His admiration for academics is inversely proportional to his ability to make money, Fu Sinian can't make money, but he will spend money.

Fu Si was known as Fu Dacang in his early years, he was short-tempered and domineering, and he was erudite and talented, extremely talented, upright, flamboyant, and domineering. The same is true of studying at Peking University in his early years, when Hu Shi first came to Peking University to teach, he was made difficult by students, and he still relied on Fu Sinian to cover him. He also had a part in the May Fourth Movement that followed. But Fu Sinian also lowered his head in order to prepare for this institute, the national treasury was in short supply, and he couldn't get money, so he could only ask for it from businessmen.

Why Yan Buwen can confidently bring Chen and Zhao over, is because of Fu Sinian. When Fu Sinian studied at the University of Berlin in Germany before, he had a very good relationship with Chen Yinke and another international student, Yu Dawei, which can basically be regarded as the level of Taoyuan Liu Guanzhang, Chen and Yu are still related, and Fu Sinian also married Yu's sister Yu Dawei (of course, this is many years later), counting Fu and Chen are also relatives, they naturally have a sense of intimacy. When Zhao Yuanren returned to China from studying in the United States, he specially went to Berlin, Germany to visit those international students, and they also admired Fu Sinian very much, and why Fu Sinian was able to teach at CUHK later had nothing to do with Zhao Yuanren's recommendation and Zhu Jiahua's recommendation.

It is not their turn to lobby, in addition, Yan Buwen's old acquaintances Su Wenjin and Dai Wangyu will also come over to serve as one of them, both of them are more modest, just be an ordinary member, after all, not to mention Wang Guowei and Liang Qichao, even if it is Chen Yinke, Zhao Yuanren and Li Ji, they are all a mountain for them, and they can't be modest.

Although Tsinghua is famous in later generations, it is now only one of the more ordinary universities, and Tsinghua scholars have seen the world, such as Chen and Zhao, if there is a better development, they will naturally not condescend to Tsinghua University, for whom academic research may be much more important than teaching at Tsinghua.

……

In late March, Yan Buwen read in the newspaper that Shanghai had been occupied by the revolutionary army, which was about the same time as Yan Buwen had expected, and there was a shortage of soldiers, but there was no large-scale war, which was equivalent to a change of government for the common people. Yan Buwen hurriedly wrote a letter to Xiao Rong and Duoduo a few days ago, hoping that they would reduce their outings recently, so as not to encounter some stragglers. What makes Yan Buwen strange is that he has been in Beijing for a month, and he has never received any letters, and he has sent them the address of Tsinghua University before, and he should send a letter over, but the letter is lost on the way?

Yan Buwen was obsessed with this incident for several days, until Li Ji woke up from his dream, and Li Ji saw the news of the capture of Shanghai in the newspaper, and hurriedly came to Yan Buwen. Yan Buwen's family is in Shanghai, and Li Ji is also very worried about Yan Buwen, so he came to ask if he wanted to take his family out of Shanghai for refuge.

"Shanghai is safer now than Beijing, and there is no need to evacuate, but I wonder why there has been no letter."

Li Ji was surprised: "I had several letters from you last time, by the way, I gave it to the person who pretended to be you, oops, I gave it to him directly when I received it at that time, and now it should be with him." ”

"Oh no, I don't know what's in the letter, who sent it to me." Yan Buwen didn't think well, and Li Ji on the side also thought hard about it, at least he had to think of who sent him. Li Ji thought for a while and said: "I remember that there are several people, one name is better remembered as Duoduo, the other is Xiao Rong, and Ruan or something, and the last one is surnamed Su, by the way, these four people." ”

"Nguyen, Su? Ruan Lingyu, and Su Wenjin, by the way, Ruan Lingyu was filming in Tianjin, and Su Wenjin was invited by herself to join the institute. Yan Buwen solemnly thanked Li Ji, and hurriedly wrote to them to go back, Ruan Lingyu's address should not have changed, and Su Wenjin just sent it to Shanghai, Su Wenjin They don't know if they have come.

Yan Buwen was very worried in his heart, but it should be fine.

Yan Buwen couldn't help but think of Yu Wan, she had been separated for a few days, and she didn't know how she was living now? Last time, I should have written more money on her check. Thinking of this, Yan Buwen was ready to go to find Yu Wan, at least to thank her for taking care of her during this time in Beijing.

Soon after, a girl in an ordinary cotton jacket walked through the streets of Beijing, holding 5,000 yuan in her hand, which was also the last debt owed by her master, but after a while, Yu Wan came to a street, the paradise of small locks - Tianjin Road.

Yu Wan has already made an appointment here.
