Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Chapter 844 Indispensable contribution
Xu Damao thought it was a trivial matter.

It turns out that the matter was not small.

At first, I couldn’t explain it clearly over the phone, so I went to Capital University and talked with President Lu for two hours.

Only then did Xu Damao understand what Principal Lu wanted to do, which was to catch him and conscript him into the army, and his intention was very big.

This is not just a matter of a few letters of introduction, it's about fleecing the wool from him, and now that we have caught him, we can fleece him as much as we can.

It’s not about recommending a few teachers, but about setting up a team to teach liberal arts.

From teachers to administration, everything is complete.

There are also many famous people among these people. To put it very normally, these people can easily go out and build a university.

"The people on the list are all capable, and they are also the pillars of our Capital University. But, alas, Capital University doesn't need so many people now, so they can only be divided up."

“Why not open a university?”

Principal Lu almost got angry when he heard this: "You make it sound so easy. Do you know how difficult it is to run a university? I can see that you don't worry about anything. Although various things are troublesome, they can be done. Who will pay the salaries? How will they be paid? And it's too late to prepare now."

Getting into university, bringing honor to your family and changing your destiny are not just talk, especially in the old city, where tuition is free, only a small amount of miscellaneous fees, and you also get a salary every month.

Pure welfare unit.

The school's expenses are entirely subsidized.

This is just like some units, which keep operating at a loss and then ask for money when they run out of money.

But in factories, we can see the products that are made. What can schools do?
So setting up a university is not that easy. It’s not that it’s impossible, but that things involved are too complicated.

So many people were admitted to the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which made Xu Damao a little embarrassed. So far, the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine has just started construction and there is definitely no way to recruit students this year.

However, the "Sijiucheng University of Traditional Chinese Medicine" has been established, which means it has been registered and is a formal school, but it has not been completed yet.

If we recruit teachers now, we will have to take care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Principal Lu also noticed Xu Damao's hesitation: "Da Mao, I beg you on behalf of so many people on the list. Those letters of introduction are just extras. If there is anything in the future, I will help you without hesitation. Look at these people on the list. Many of them were just released last month. If you can't find a place to take them in, their families will really starve to death. This is a matter of life and death."

"These people are all scholars with real talents and knowledge."

Xu Damao knew some of the people on the list, which was one of the reasons for his hesitation.

He remembered clearly the news on the radio not long ago.

"Intellectuals are intellectuals among the working people..."

Some people just washed ashore with the help of that wind.

Principal Lu is a man who cherishes old ties. Now he wants to help some people. Xu Damao has just received benefits from him, so he can't refuse.

"I can't make the decision on this matter. I have a mission now. I am just a figurehead for the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Someone else is actually in charge. Since there are not many people, I just helped recruit them. I still have the face for this, but there are too many people and it is difficult for me to handle it."

"Or we can go over there and talk face to face. I can also help by being there and saying a few words."

Principal Lu did not hesitate at all: "Okay, let's set off now without further delay."

Fortunately, Xu Damao had been to the temporary office of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine before, otherwise he might not be able to find the place today with Principal Lu.

As expected, I met Li Dongfang in the temporary office of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

He really loves this career. "Let me introduce you. This is President Li Dongfang, the president of the Chinese University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and this is President Lu of Capital University."

Xu Damao knew what Principal Lu’s name was, but he just didn’t want to say it out loud.

People of the same generation or level can address each other by their names.

When addressing elders, it is best to refer to their title or a respectful title.

Nowadays, the word "comrade" is more commonly used, which is also to change the concept of seniority and hierarchy, and superiors and subordinates.

The word "comrade" also means "equality".

Li Dongfang was humble and immediately shook hands with Principal Lu enthusiastically.

"President Lu of Capital University, I have heard of you since I was a child..."

After a few pleasantries, Xu Damao, the middleman, explained his purpose.

"Principal Li, I was asked by Principal Lu to be a middleman. He said before that we should learn professional knowledge and not forget the cultural courses. Principal Lu knows a group of professional talents who can build the framework of cultural courses, so I came to introduce you to talk."

It’s not that Xu Damao doesn’t express “my opinion” now, but bringing people here already represents his opinion.

It's hard to emphasize this again.

Especially for the 'helmsman'.

Li Dongfang is the principal and Xu Damao is the nominal principal. The difference between Xu Damao as the actual leader and the marginal leader cannot be emphasized enough.

It's like forcing a palace.

Leaders and subordinates can emphasize this again.

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he wanted to go out, but Li Dongfang held him back and refused to let him go, insisting that he stay and listen.

The specific process was also very amicable. Li Dongfang was very satisfied after looking at the list. They were all very good scholars. As for the issue of whether they had just been cleared of corruption, that was not a problem in Li Dongfang's eyes. As long as there was no problem at the moment, it was fine.

People can be bad, but knowledge cannot. Knowledge is knowledge. It mainly depends on the people who use it.

"It's just that there's still a long time before college enrollment. It's hard to say whether it will be possible next year. Will this affect them..."

Xu Damao looked through the list again out of boredom.

Only a part of them are scholars who have just been cleansed, and the rest are direct descendants of Capital University, as well as students and disciples of President Lu.

At this time, there were still many "masters and apprentices" and "disciples", and the relationship was relatively pure.

It feels like, in addition to helping with things within one's capacity, there is also the factor of expanding the influence of Capital University, a new university in this city, taking up a veteran position in advance.

Thinking of this, Xu Damao quickly shook his head. He didn't know what was wrong with him recently. He started to consider things from the perspective of the interests of the parties involved, which made it easy for him to think badly of others.

Xu Damao has already figured out the part of the intellectuals on the list. After all, it was he who recommended them and Li Dongfang, the real principal, made the final decision. If the fight really goes on, he will not be the main person responsible.

"Thank you, Principal Lu, for sending so many talented people. I will notify them to come over to handle the formalities next Monday."

"Don't mention the salary anymore, that's just a small issue. We have a Chinese Medicine Research Institute above our Chinese Medicine University, which has developed several special Chinese medicine pills. We have Director Xu to thank for this. We are not short of money, and Director Xu has made an indelible contribution..."
