Chapter 491: The blood they shed is not for you to wag your tail and beg for mercy
This East-West Cultural Exchange Festival is a festival that Yanwu University has been preparing for a whole year in order to enhance its international influence.
To this end, they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and contacted several foreign art museums to get them to agree to take their exhibits to Yanwu University for exhibition.
Now that the exhibition has only been going on for a few days, some exhibits have been damaged, which is a big or small thing.
"What the hell broke it?" Principal Xia immediately asked.
"It's a sculpture, a statue of a lovelorn princess by the eighteenth-century Western sculptor Jasco! Look, headmaster, this is the surveillance of the scene at that time! ”
As he spoke, the teacher took out his mobile phone and showed a video to Principal Xia.
Lin Chen was on the side, and he also glanced at it by the way.
I saw that at an exhibition site, a girl from Yanguo was accompanying a white student to visit.
The two finally stopped in front of a statue of a young girl and wanted to take a group photo.
But as a result, when the two took a group photo, because they didn't pay attention to the distance, when adjusting the position, the white student accidentally bumped into the sculpture behind him and accidentally knocked the sculpture to the ground.
That sculpture is Jasco's lovelorn princess.
From the shape point of view, the shape of the lovelorn princess statue is a dressed-up girl standing on tiptoe looking into the distance, and the girl's feet are standing on tiptoe, so the center of gravity of the whole statue is not stable, and it is indeed easy to be knocked down due to external forces.
As a result, the sculpture has now been smashed into several pieces by impact, and it is almost impossible to repair it!
Principal Xia looked sad, turned his head and asked, "How much is this sculpture worth?" I remember that our school and the other party should have a contract, and all the losses need to be paid by us, right? ”
"Headmaster, I heard that this sculpture was already worth more than 10 million when the other party bought it, and this is still the price ten years ago, as for now, ......?"
"Hiss~!" Principal Xia gasped.
Not to mention the price ten years later, it is more than 10 million ten years ago, which is also a lot of money.
But there is no way, it seems that Yanwu University can only grit its teeth and take out this money now.
Who made the facts obvious that Yanwu University was negligent when arranging the exhibition, and did not set a safe distance between the audience and the exhibits, and now can only consider itself unlucky.
"Which gallery is this sculpture the work of? Do their people know? Principal Xia asked again.
"It's the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and their people have already arrived at the scene, and they are furious when they hear it! Because it happened to be a meal, now the school teacher has taken the female classmates in the video to invite them to dinner to make amends. The teacher said.
"That's good, you hurry up and prepare for the compensation, now we just hope to get the other party's forgiveness." Principal Xia sighed.
Although this matter didn't have much to do with Lin Chen, after listening to their conversation, Lin Chen suddenly had something he wanted to understand.
"I'm sorry, but did you just let that girl make amends? What about the foreigner in the video? ”
"Foreigners? Did you say that international student? The teacher was stunned for a moment and replied, "Of course he went back!" ”
"Why? When I watched the video, it was actually him who really touched the sculpture, right? That girl didn't touch the sculpture, so why did you ask her to make amends? Lin Chen was puzzled.
Principal Xia smiled and said, "Teacher Lin, isn't this normal?" That student is a foreigner, how can we make him make amends? ”
"Why not? If the person who has done a bad thing does not make amends, but the person who is not at fault has to apologize for him, what privilege does that international student have to fail? Lin Chen asked.
The teacher sneered, "Of course, he's a foreigner!" ”
When Lin Chen heard this, his face suddenly changed: "Just because you are a foreigner, you can be superior?" Amusing! ”
The teacher shook his head: "No way, foreigners are superior, isn't this a default thing?" ”
Lin Chen turned his head to look at Principal Xia, but saw that the other party also nodded in agreement.
His face suddenly became gloomy: "Principal Xia, I didn't expect that even you would think like this?" ”
"Teacher Lin, diplomacy is no trivial matter, and we do this out of consideration of the overall situation......" Principal Xia saw that Lin Chen's face was wrong, so he wanted to explain.
Moreover, this kind of thing is not like this for their Yanwu University, but not all the universities in the entire Yanwu Country?
Almost all universities give special treatment to international students, whether they make mistakes or mistakes, and most of these universities turn a blind eye to international students.
This has almost become a tacit rule.
But Lin Chen directly interrupted: "No, Principal Xia, don't forget, the name of your school is Yanwu University!" ”
"When Emperor Yanguang Wu raised troops, wasn't it precisely because the Yan country was weak that not only there was foreign invasion, but also those foreigners were tyrannical in the Yan country?"
"Those soldiers who followed Emperor Yanguang Wu and died in the war to unify the whole country, their blood is not shed for you to wag your tail and beg for mercy on those foreigners today!"
"You guys are doing this, how can you be worthy of the word Yanwu?!"
"This ......"
Principal Xia was red-faced by what Lin Chen said, and he couldn't refute it at all.
Yes, the word Yanwu of Yanwu University is taken from Emperor Yanguangwu back then.
For the Yan country, Emperor Yanguang Wu raised an army to conquer, and it took several years to unify the whole country, and the blood shed and the lives lost during this period were hundreds of thousands or millions.
And the direct motive that prompted Emperor Yanguangwu to raise troops was not precisely because of the invasion of foreign enemies, and the people of Yanguo were humiliated by foreign countries and suffered unspeakably?
If Emperor Yanguang Wu knew about the university named after him, but in the future he bowed his head to foreigners and begged for mercy, he was afraid that he would be angry to death.
"Teacher Lin, what you taught you is that we didn't think about this before!"
"Your words, to me, are like a slap in the face! Don't worry, I can't control what others do in the future, but in Yanwu University, I will try my best to treat Yanguo students and foreign students equally! ”
"Knowing your mistakes can make a difference."
Listening to the conversation between the two, the teacher on the side was directly dumbfounded.
Who is this Teacher Lin?
Didn't you hear that he was just a distinguished professor who taught chess?
Why did their principal obey him so much?
"Teacher Lin, I'll go to that female student now, she didn't make a mistake, and she doesn't need to apologize to others." Principal Xia said.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look." Lin Chen nodded.
The two of them walked out of the office.
At the same time, in the cafeteria of Yanwu University, in the luxurious box on the top floor, the school's staff were pulling the female students in this incident to drink to the people of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to make amends.
The female student's name is Zhou Ting, and she actually doesn't want to come at all.
Because today's events actually have nothing to do with her at all.
It wasn't her who broke the statue, but another international student, and there was actually no intimate relationship between her and that student.
She is only arranged by the school, and she is paired with international students one-on-one, and is responsible for helping each other adapt to life in Yanguo.
As a result, now it seems that she is the one who made the mistake, not only to say sorry to the other party, but also to toast the other party one after another!
