Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 24: Meeting Hu Shi for the First Time

At this time, there were no high-rise buildings in Beijing City. Compared with 100 years later, the skyline suddenly became much lower.

Jingshan is the highest point in the whole city. As long as Jingshan is used as a reference, it will be easy to find Beida next to it.

Just walking all the way and inquiring all the way, in less than 10 minutes, Chen Muwu found a side entrance of Bei University from Dongbanqiao Hutong.

"Excuse me, I want to go to the school to find Professor Hu Shizhi." He handed over a letter written by Hu Shi to the school police at the school gate to prove his identity.

"Professor Hu's office is in the Philosophy Department on the second floor." The campus police pointed to the red building at the southernmost part of the school. "However, he is more likely to be in the large conference room on the first floor."

"Thank you."

Chen Muwu stepped on the cinder-paved playground, and there was a roaring sound from the other side of the playground. He listened carefully, and he could hear the students' slogans of "drive away Peng and embrace Cai".

Walking into the gate of the Red Building, Chen Muwu heard bursts of heated and intense voices not far away, presumably the source of the voices was the large meeting room that the campus police mentioned.

He thought about it again, Hu Shi must be indispensable in such a showy occasion.

So Chen Muwu simply didn't try his luck at the professor's office of the philosophy department on the second floor, but went directly to the door of the big meeting room.

Wherever there are crowds, there are left, middle and right.

He stood quietly outside the door for a while, and he had already summed up the three viewpoints of everyone in the conference room.

Some people said that we should do whatever it takes to keep President Cai; some people said that we should let nature take its course. After President Cai left, we should just elect a new president. I heard that Lin Changmin had long been interested in the post of president of Bei University; Some people are in between, saying that they might as well wait and see, and wait and see, things may turn around.

The footsteps of pedestrians came from behind Chen Muwu, and then a voice rang in his ear: "Sir, what do you want?"

He turned his head and saw that the visitor was a few years older than himself, well-dressed, and looked like a professor who came to the meeting, so he said politely: "I want to find Professor Hu Shizhi. The concierge said he should have a meeting here. I think The discussion inside is lively, so I don’t feel embarrassed to go in and disturb, I want to wait for everyone to finish the meeting here.”

"You want to find Professor Hu? Then wait a little longer, I'll go in and call him out. Don't look at the meeting with so many people, it seems like a big scene, but in the end, nothing can be discussed." Come The man curled his lips indifferently, and made a judgment on the outcome of the meeting.

"That would be a lot of trouble."

Not long after this person entered, the door of the meeting room was opened again, and a middle-aged man in a long robe and mandarin jacket with a short figure and small round glasses came out.

Chen Muwu recognized that he looked exactly like the photo in the history book, so he quickly cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Shizhi, I'm Chen Muwu."

With a little surprise and suspicion, Hu Shidai stared at him up and down carefully for a long time before returning the courtesy: "Mr. Chen, I have admired him for a long time, but I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be so young. He is indeed a young talent. Heroes have been born since ancient times! "

"Where is it, Mr. Shizhi laughed."

"Mr. Chen, poor hospitality, poor hospitality. No one thought that such a mess would suddenly happen in the school. Let's talk in the office."

"Then Muwu will disturb Mr. Shizhi."

Chen Muwu followed Hu Shi up to the second floor and came to his office.

The house is not big, but it is very tidy and clean.

Hu Shi poured water from the thermos bottle to make a cup of tea, and gave it to Chen Muwu, pointing to the sofa on the side of the room, and said, "Mr. Chen, sit, sit!"

Chen Muwu was too lazy to exchange greetings with him and play Tai Chi, so he took the teacup and asked straight to the point: "Professor Hu, may I ask if the agreed lectures can continue with the current situation in your school?"

Hu Shi smiled confidently: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, the lecture will still go on as scheduled. Today is Thursday, and three days later, the first lecture will go on as scheduled."

"However, with the current situation of the students, even if they can return to the classroom, I'm afraid they won't have the intention to continue studying, right?"

"Mr. Chen, you don't know something. We invite you to give lectures, not for students of the physics department, but for people from all walks of life around Beijing who are interested in the theory of relativity..."

After listening to Hu Shi's explanation for a while, Chen Muwu felt speechless. He thought that the lecture was a half-month course on relativity for students in the Department of Physics.

For this reason, he also specially wrote the lesson plans and prepared the lessons in Ghaihai, thinking of taking people's money, he couldn't be perfunctory.

Unexpectedly, the lectures Hu Shi mentioned were actually the nature of popular science lectures.

It seems that Bei Da regards himself as Einstein's stand-in!
Compared with lectures, lectures are both simple and difficult.

The simplicity is that the lectures do not need to involve much advanced knowledge.

The difficult part is how to attract the audience's attention during the lecture.

Chen Muwu thought that most of the people sitting under the stage would have no physical foundation at all, just like the foreigners and celebrities sitting under the stage listening to Einstein's lecture at the Ministry of Industry and Engineering.

Fortunately, he still has time to reselect the topics of the five lectures.

That's right, Hu Shi told Chen Muwu that he only needs to hold five lectures within two weeks, and he can easily get 500 yuan, which is equivalent to 100 yuan for one lecture.

It's really easy to make money!

Hu Shi also proposed to go to the Chang'an Chun Hotel in Dong'an Market to clean up the dust for him at night, but Chen Muwu thought that it would be inappropriate for him to go out for dinner and return home late before he even saw the host of the boarding house, so he declined Hu Shi's proposal politely. invite.

Before he came out of the office, Hu Shi took a book from his bookshelf, picked up a pen to inscribe a few words on the title page, and gave it to Chen Muwu.

Chen Muwu saw the title of the book on the cover, "Hu Shi's Experimental Collection", the fourth edition was updated.

This is the divine book!
He still remembers the song "Two yellow butterflies, both flying to the sky..." that he saw in his junior high school history textbook, which gave him the illusion that writing poetry is really a This is an easy task, so many "masterpieces" that still make people blush when they read it are left in Qzone.

Who hasn't had a non-mainstream time!

Unexpectedly, today he got the book personally sent by the author. The key is that there is also a typewriting on it that says "Mr. Chen Hanchen Hui Cun" and the author's autograph.

If this is passed on, and sold at a high price to those petty bourgeois who admire Hu Shi, they can make a lot of money again!

"Thank you sir for giving me the book, I will definitely read the masterpiece seriously."

The superficial politeness is indispensable, but who knows whether Chen Muwu will really read it in private?
