Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 19 Chapter 19
After taking a one-month long vacation at work, coupled with the following Spring Festival holiday, Chen Muwu's time suddenly became more abundant.

After returning home, he told his eldest brother that he was going to give lectures at Bei University, and Chen Muqiao was very happy when he heard it.

"I support you in making this decision. Being invited to give lectures by Beida, the best university in China, shows that the academic world has slowly opened its doors to you. You must cherish this opportunity and prepare well.

"If you find out during this trip that lecturing is actually a pretty good job, the door of our Nanyang University is always open for you, and we will always reserve a desk for you."

It seems that Chen Muqiao still has great ideas about inviting his third brother to teach in his school.

At the family dinner table in the evening, when the old lady of the Chen family learned that her youngest son, who had left his hometown and studied in the north for four years, was about to run out again, her face was immediately filled with displeasure.

After Chen Muwu patted his chest and promised that he would only go for half a month, and his elder brother Chen Muqiao's repeated persuasion, the old lady reluctantly nodded.

The second brother Chen Muping is worthy of being the manager of the bank, and his attention is really focused on the money. He privately told the third brother to inquire clearly, and don't be deceived. Where did Bei Da get such a large sum of money to pay him? .

Chen Muwu had no choice but to go back to his room and find out Hu Shi's personal letter and telegram. Chen Muping read it upside down for a long time, but still looked suspicious.

The 20s coincided with a small cold wave of several decades, and the winter was much colder than 100 years later.

Fortunately, Chen Muwu didn't throw away the winter clothes he had worn for four years when he was studying in the school, but was packed into boxes in the attic by his sister-in-law.

He planned to wear these clothes to go north, but was stopped by his elder brother Chen Muqiao again: "You are going to give lectures now, sir, you must not wear the cotton robes and cotton shoes worn by these students, but you should wear a suit Wear a tie and dress decently."

There was no other way, Chen Muwu could only tearfully accept the full set of inner and outer clothes, hats, necks, gloves, leather shoes and other odds and ends that his elder brother bought from Yong'an Company.

If it wasn't for the lack of time, Chen Muqiao would have taken his younger brother to the well-known red gang tailors on the beach to order a few suits.

Chen Muwu occasionally went into a trance a few times, how nice it is to be a son of the family of Zhongming Dingshi, why bother to study Laoshizi physics so thankfully!

But his thoughts are fleeting every time. His head is full of knowledge that is 100 years ahead of the world. the difference!
After the luggage was almost packed, Chen Muwu went back to the Railway Bureau and bought all the train tickets for the northbound train from the internal window.

During the period of the Republic of China, it was true that the railway capacity was tight, and tickets were often not available, but that was only for ordinary people who lined up at the window to buy the cheapest third-class tickets.

Chen Muwu, as an employee of the Railway Bureau, wouldn't it be a joke if he couldn't buy a ticket anymore?
The old lady Chen felt sorry for her youngest son, and specially asked her boss to give him the money, so that Chen Muwu had to buy a first-class ticket and a sleeper car along the way.

Otherwise, everyone wants to be the youngest son of the landlord's family. His personal experience has proved that the youngest son of the landlord's family is really cool.

Chen Muwu thought carefully again, it seemed that when the original owner went to college, he always traveled between home and school, and he was always treated as a first-class car to and fro.

Three first-class tickets, together with the one-night sleeper fare on the night of the 60th, add up to nearly [-] yuan.

Compared with Lu Xun's house, these tickets seem expensive.

But compared with the cost of sending letters abroad, he suddenly felt that it was not that expensive.

Now that the luggage was ready and the ticket was bought, Chen Muwu went to the telegraph office again and sent a telegram to Hu Shi, informing him that he would take the special express train No. 16 in the morning to go north. If it is correct, it will arrive at Zhengyangmen East Station in Beijing at [-]:[-]pm on the [-]th.

This is the fastest transfer method on the entire Shanghai-Nanjing, Jinpu, and Jingfeng railway line. Although you have to wait for more than an hour at Pu Station, it is still almost faster than another slow train on the same line. twelve hours.

During the blank time after the telegram was sent and before the departure, another unexpected person came to the door.

Zhang Naiyan, the third Chinese besides Chen Muwu and Zhao Junhao who participated in the seminar on relativity in the lecture hall of the Ministry of Industry and Engineering on the evening of New Year’s Day, suddenly visited on January [-]th.

He first read the "Declaration" and found the two-way railway administration. After learning that Chen Muwu had taken a long vacation, he inquired about the address of Chen's mansion from the administration.

As mentioned above, Bei University often delayed paying half a month's salary last year for three or four months. Therefore, Zhang Naiyan, a chemistry professor at Bei University, also imitated the "Thoughts of water shield perch" of her own family, Zhang Jiying, and came up with a He quit his job and returned home.

Zhang Naiyan returned to Guhai and stayed there for a few months. After some manipulations by his family, he was transformed into the new president of the Jiang Provincial Education Association.

"There are three fires for a new official to take office." Zhang Naiyan was worrying about what to do to establish her reputation, when she saw another message in "Declaration": "Mr. Chen Hanchen will go to Bei University to give lectures for two weeks: Mr. Chen Hanchen, a rookie in Chinese science praised by scientist Dr. Ernstein, was invited by Professor Hu Shizhi of Bei University’s Department of Philosophy to give lectures at Bei University for two weeks. It is reported that Bei University offered Chen Hanchen a high remuneration of [-] yuan for two weeks. Equivalent to Dr. Ernstein."

Chen Muwu, who doesn't like to read newspapers very much, is completely unaware of such a thing.

In fact, this was his second brother Chen Muping's own idea. He found Zhao Junhao who wrote the report last time, and told him that his younger brother was going to give lectures at Bei University.

Chen Muping didn't want to make a name for his younger brother, but it's a common practice among people nowadays.

In a wealthy family like theirs, if a child is about to go abroad to study abroad, the family will spend money to publish a "news about the student going abroad on such and such a day" in the newspaper.

If the child lives up to expectations after studying abroad for a few years and successfully obtains a doctorate, the family will even publish a news with a graduation photo in the newspaper, publicizing that their family has a foreign doctorate.

About this point, it is estimated that Dr. Fang Hongjian in "The Besieged City" should have a deep understanding.

Zhang Naiyan just read the report of "Shenbao" and thought that if Bei Da can invite him to give lectures, then I can naturally too.

Moreover, Chen Muwu is also from Jiang, and the two have a fellowship.

Chen Muwu should not refuse to invite him to give lectures in the name of the chairman of the Jiang Provincial Education Association.

　Two updates are presented today.
