"Thank you, thank you."

Chen Muwu stood on the stage, bowing and nodding to the enthusiastic audience, but he deliberately ignored the crane in the clouds, who applauded the most enthusiastically in the audience.

However, when Xu Zhimo took the lead, everyone at the scene gathered around him to congratulate him on the success of his lecture, and everyone wanted to say a few words to this popular scientific star.

Regarding Yan Renguang's invitation to teach, Chen Muwu excused himself and said that he would go home and discuss with his family before making a decision.

Regarding Jiang Menglin's request to organize the contents of the five lectures and print them into a book, Chen Muwu agreed to it.

He also promised to donate his share of the remuneration to buy laboratory equipment for the Department of Physics of Shao University.

After a lecture earlier, Chen Muwu was invited to visit the laboratory of the Department of Physics of Shao 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, and there is no condition for scientific research at all.

Many of the equipment in it were inherited from the Jingshi University Hall period in the former Qing Dynasty, and some were even older than Chen Muwu's age.

Due to the shortage of equipment, the teaching experiments that can be carried out in the laboratory are also very limited, and the most advanced equipment is only Fresnel biprism interference.

You know, Fresnel did this experiment a hundred years ago.

Chen Muwu felt that the sales of his lecture manuscripts would not be too high, and the remuneration was not very much.

What's more, publishing a book has to go through a series of processes such as sorting, proofreading, typesetting, printing, and distribution, and he doesn't know that he can only get the manuscript fee for this book in the Year of the Monkey.

Chen Muwu's move once again won applause from the scene.

The first one to rush out to praise him was Xu Zhimo again.

"Brother Hanchen is not only talented, but also noble!"

Xu Zhimo repeatedly praised him repeatedly, and a fool could see that he was very interested in making friends with Chen Muwu.

Chen Muwu was helpless, thinking to himself that your old gentleman gave up his status as an auditor at Cambridge University at the end of last year, and ran all the way back to China from England, not pestering your beloved Miss Lin, but instead of pestering me, what are you doing?

But stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, although he had already known the other party's name, Chen Muwu could only hug his fist at him, and asked pretendly: "Thank you brother Tai for your love, I don't know your surname?" Taifu? ”

Xu Zhimo also returned the salute: "Don't give your surname Xu, just call me Shima." ”

"It turned out to be Brother Shima, I have admired it for a long time, I have long read the masterpiece in the newspaper, and today I am finally fortunate to see it. ……”

Chen Muwu, who was too polite, was stuck here.

Xu Zhimo in his memory is famous for his new poems, especially "Farewell to Kangqiao" in the textbook, and the song "Accidental" sung by Yiping in the TV series "Deep Love and Rain".

But these poems were not born until a few years later, and now the Crescent Society has not yet been founded, and Mr. Xu's poetry is not yet visible, what works has he read and what can he admire for a long time?

I can't say that I have read the news in the newspaper that you and Zhang Youyi divorced and caused a storm in the city!

Just when Chen Muwu was worried that it would be very embarrassing next, Dr. Hu of "Hu Baoyi" rushed to the stage like a gust of timely rain, and he led Shulman to the stage and successfully saved the scene.

"Hanchen, this is Dr. Schulman, the American Minister of Minister, and it is with the great help of the doctor that we can facilitate your coming to Shao University to give a lecture this time."

Chen Muwu stretched out his right hand, seamlessly switched into English and said, "Mr. Minister, thank you for inviting me to give a lecture at Shao University. ”

Schulman held Chen Muwu's hand tightly: "Chen, your speech is wonderful, in an old Chinese saying, 'I have gained more from a conversation with you than ten years of reading'. ”

Chen Muwu thought about it for a long time before he figured out that this sentence should correspond to "listening to your words is better than reading for ten years".

You've been a minister for two or three years, can't you learn the local language?

He was spitting frantically in his head, but he still had to be polite: "Mr. Minister praised it falsely." ”

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 Ling's lecture, I can't help but hope that if I can go back to the past through time travel, I must recruit you to Cornell University in advance, maybe your achievements may be even higher than Professor Hu." ”

Two nights ago, Hu Shi explained to Chen Muwu that it was precisely because Schulman intended to invite him to study at Cornell that he took such great pains to invite him to meet in Shaojing.

I didn't expect this old American man to be exhausted so soon.

The key is that if you invite me, I will invite me, what do you do when you step on it?

Dr. Hu is the world's first-class face-saving person, if he holds a grudge against me because of your words in the future, what should I do?

Chen Muwu squeezed out a slightly regretful expression: "I'm sorry, Mr. Minister, I have to go back and discuss this matter with my family before I can make a decision, after all, going to the United States is not like coming to Shaojing, you can get there by train for two days and one night." ”

Schulman heard the overtones in his words, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he felt that after all, Chen Muwu had not said it to death, and there should be room for things to turn around: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's still more than half a year before the start of the fall semester, you just need to notify me one month in advance, and I can find a way to arrange for you to enter Cornell University to study." ”

Schulman still had official business, and he wanted to rush back to the legation and report the results of his investigation to Qiandao a few days ago to the domestic council, so he could only leave the lecture hall of the first courtyard of Shao University with unwillingness.

Out of politeness, acting principal Jiang Menglin sent the friendly people out of the school gate, and people in the audience began to leave one after another.

After dealing with Shulman, Chen Muwu turned to Hu Shi again and reassured: "I was able to come to Shaojing this time thanks to Mr. Shizhi's warm invitation. Mr. Shizhi is famous all over the world, but he has not forgotten to bring me as a junior, Mu Wu has nothing to repay, please accept my worship. ”

With that, he pulled out the hand that was clenched by Schulman and bowed to Hu Shi.

But what I thought in my heart was: Stop me quickly, antimony, astatine, molybdenum and tellurium! You don't really want me to knock you one, do you?

Chen Muwu's operation frightened Hu Shi as well, and he quickly stopped the young man in front of him: "I can't do it, I can't do it!" ”

Seeing that Chen Muwu straightened up in his tie, he continued: "Han Chen, the two of us are very close to each other, why do you bother? Cornell University is also one of the strongest universities in the United States, so you still have to think twice about studying abroad. ”

Although the old principal just said something that Hu Shi did not want to hear, he believed that this should be a misunderstanding caused by the fact that Americans who like to go straight and have a different way of thinking from the Chinese, and Minister Schulman actually has no malicious intent.

Coupled with Chen Muwu's performance, he gave himself enough face in front of everyone, so Hu Shi did not forget Schulman's mission of inviting him to be a lobbyist, and still dutifully persuaded Chen Muwu to study in the United States.

He thought that he had given Chen Muwu a thorough explanation in advance, and told him how good life was in the United States, and he drank very well that night, and Chen Muwu would definitely not refuse this invitation to study abroad.

But how did you hear what Chen Muwu said to Schulman, but he didn't want to go to Cornell University?

Confused, Chen Hanchen, how can you refuse the kindness of Mr. Minister and not go to the United States to study?

If you do this, do you want to save face in front of Americans?
