Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 34 Cherish it
Cai Yuanpei was very interested, pointed at Wen Yin and the others and said, "So, you are all from Xiehe Women's University?"

Female students, you look at me, I look at you, and finally replied with a smile: "Yes, Principal Cai."

Although the name is called a university, in fact all the students of Xiehe Women's University are only more than 30 students, and half of them are pre-junior college students. It is not easy to get so many students to study mathematics.

At the same time, before the May [-]th Movement, there were only three universities available for women. Apart from Concord Women’s University, there were only two other universities, Jinling Women’s University and Huanan School, both of which were organized by the church, so girls could afford to go to university at that time. , is a very difficult matter.

After Cai Yuanpei learned the purpose of the female students, he pointed to Cheng Nuo beside him, and said with a smile, "Here, this is the Mr. Tom you want to see, that is, Professor Cheng Nuo from our School of Mathematics."

The female students exclaimed and covered their mouths in disbelief.

"Why are you so young? I thought it was that kind of old pedant again."

"Yeah, I thought so before too. Seeing that the real person is so handsome and young, I'm more interested in that mathematical conjecture."

"Tch, you are not interested in mathematics, I think you are interested in Professor Cheng who studies mathematics."

Wen Yin took out her book and tapped each of the students' heads lightly: "Shh, have you forgotten what we are here for? Everyone is out of shape, and I will settle accounts with you when I get back!"

"I've never seen such a young professor, okay?" the female student covered her head and muttered softly.

Wen Yin bowed slightly and said generously, "Professor Cheng, I haven't seen you for a long time. Congratulations on proving Kronecker's dream of youth. A few classmates and I are very interested in class field theory. Could you please?" Can you tell us something?"

The female classmate appeared again just now, and glanced at the two of them with gossipy eyes: "Yinyin, it turns out that you have known each other for a long time, and it was hard to keep it from us. You have to explain it when you go back."

Wen Yin blushed slightly, and took out a notebook and pencil from her schoolbag, indicating that they really came for mathematics.

Faced with so many girls, Cheng Nuo was also a little embarrassed, scratched his head and stood up, borrowed Cai Yuanpei's office, and answered their math questions in easy-to-understand language.

Cai Yuanpei was still listening on the sidelines, but when he saw that the questions behind him were getting more and more biased, he quietly left with his hands behind his back.

The female students became more open-minded when they saw this, and began to ask some personal questions, such as whether they were married, how old they were, and where they lived.

As the saying goes, there are three women in one drama. Faced with such a situation, Cheng Nuo couldn't bear it after answering a few times, so he had to evade the matter with vague words.

In the end, after agreeing to go to Concord Women's University to give a mathematics lecture after the end of the new year, the meeting was considered to have come to an end.

Before parting, several female students pushed Wen Yin out with a smile, and booed: "Yin Yin, we know that you and Professor Xiao Cheng still have something to say, so we won't take up your time and wait for you at the gate. "

After speaking, they pulled each other and ran away.

Wen Yin, who stayed where she was, blushed instantly, completely losing her composure just now.

Twitchingly, he took out a pen from his schoolbag and handed it over, and said in a low voice, "Last time I saw that the pen you used for taking notes was always running out of ink, so I asked my dad for a foreign pen, you... If you Don’t dislike it, just take it and use it.”

When Cheng Nuo saw this, he was about to say thank you, and when he asked about the price to make up for it, the girl stuffed the pen into her bosom, turned and ran away.

"Student Wen Yin, how much is this pen, I'll give you the money later"

"No need, just treat it as the class fee for our lectures."

Looking at the figure that was drifting away, Cheng Nuo rubbed his nose and felt that something was wrong with him.

Cai Yuanpei came out from nowhere, and said with a smile, "Wen Yin is a good girl, you should cherish Cheng Nuo."

"Where did Mr. Cai come from? We just met twice."

Cheng Nuo chased after him to explain, but all he got back was a burst of hearty laughter.

After chatting in the principal's office for a while, Cheng Nuo left and came to the editorial room of "People" magazine.

After a month of hard work, the magazine editor has gradually entered the right track.

The main issue introduces cutting-edge scientific research results in popular language. The content of the first issue is basically completed and will be released in February of the next year.

The sub-journals of the subject are too few of the latest domestic research results to make up the content of a single issue, so it is tentatively scheduled to issue after the full issue.

As for the supplement, because most of the readers are illiterate people, most of them are comic books. The first issue focuses on promoting food hygiene, and the overall content has been prepared.

Cheng Nuo came here at this time to see where the actual progress was, and to solve problems in time.

He patted the shoulder of the person in charge of printing, and specifically instructed: "Old Zhang, our "People" magazine, especially the supplementary paper must be used well, not those that can be easily torn."

Lao Zhang cried and said: "Sir, our supplement has a meager profit, and with such good paper, we can't make any money at all."

Cheng Nuo explained patiently: "The purpose of our supplement is not to make money. Just think about the paper. After the supplement is bought by ordinary people, it can still be used as a wall, and they can still read it twice on weekdays. The purpose of popular science is not It's reached."

Hearing this, Lao Zhang also felt that it was the same reason. Some ordinary people had no money after building the house, and it was too expensive to paint the house. At this time, pasting newspapers is both moisture-proof and beautiful. When you wake up, you can look up again. See, you can remember these things subtly.

"Of course, you can't do a loss-making business. If it's too cheap, buyers won't appreciate it. In the end, they buy magazines just to paste the wall. That's too unreasonable."

After instructing Lao Zhang, Cheng Nuo took a few printed magazines and prepared to take them home.

It's not that he went back to proofread and pick faults by himself, but that he was going to give it away for others to use.

A polished commander can't be a master.

Now that the stall has been spread out and the reputation has been spread, but there is still no one under him. "People" magazine is also under the name of Peking University, and there is not much money left on him. It is time to expand the team.

However, it is not enough to train students to produce results in one or two years. Besides, there are only a dozen students in the mathematics department of Peking University, and they are all from the former principal.

There is only one way, and that is to find a ready-made one.

Cheng Nuo, on the other hand, planned to go door-to-door according to the Boxer Indemnity Study Abroad List to see how they were doing, set up a classmate association, and try to invite them to join his team.

Holding this magazine shows that he is a doer, a person who is confident and determined to do practical things.

Looking at the education background above, Cheng Nuo couldn't help but be speechless.

“Wang Jian—Master of Chemistry from Columbia University, Xing Qixin—Master of Warship Manufacturing from MIT, Bingzhi—Master of Agriculture from Cornell University”

Following the example of the American Academy of Sciences, it established its own organization with a straightforward name - the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of China.

"Senior, welcome to the Republic of China Academy of Sciences!"
