The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

After Zhou Hexuan arrived in Shanghai, he introduced his uncle to Xu Zhimo and Zhang Jiazhu. Both of them had a lot of friends, and their families were rich. Zhang Yuandong could easily get along in Shanghai with them.

Zhang Junmai, Xu Zhimo and Jiang Baili had originally agreed to go to Tianjin to visit Liang Qichao together. However, there are some things that are too busy to go away, so we can only postpone the plan and wait until the Double Tenth National Day.

Zhou Hexuan stayed in Shanghai for two days, and then took Zhang Leyi back to Tianjin by boat. As for the official wedding, the date has not been selected yet.

On the deck, Zhou Hexuan and Zhang Leyi were watching the waves with the sea breeze blowing.

Suddenly a young man wearing glasses came over. This man was wearing the uniform of a major general. He was thin and clasped his fists and said with a smile, "But Mr. Zhou Hexuan?"

Zhou Hexuan looked back at the visitor suspiciously, and said, "Exactly, may I ask your honor?"

The young man said with a smile, "My humble Luo Jialun, as the president of Tsinghua University, is about to go north to take up his post."

The new president of Tsinghua University?

Zhou Hexuan was quite surprised, because this person was so young, at most he was only 30 years old.

A 30-year-old major general, and also became the principal of Tsinghua University, is too outrageous.

"So it's Principal Luo, sorry, sorry!" Zhou Hexuan said hastily, and then introduced, "This is my fiancée Zhang Leyi."

Luo Jialun nodded and said, "Hi, Miss Zhang."

"Hello, Principal Luo." Zhang Leyi smiled generously.

Luo Jialun chatted a little more, seemingly unintentionally, and said, "Does Principal Zhou know anything about the recent events in the northern education circle?"

"I heard about it." Zhou Hexuan said.

Luo Jialun laughed loudly: "Get rid of Li Shizeng and welcome back Principal Zhou, this slogan of Peking University students can be shouted loudly. It is worthwhile for the principal to do what Brother Zhou does. Brother Zhou is my role model."

"Don't dare to take it." Zhou Hexuan couldn't figure out what this guy was trying to say.

"Brother Zhou, what are your plans for the future?" Luo Jialun asked.

"Running a newspaper and writing articles, what other plans do you have?" Zhou Hexuan laughed.

Luo Jialun suddenly issued an invitation: "Brother Zhou, why don't you come to Tsinghua University, the post of head of the history department is waiting for you."

Well, it turned out that the letter of appointment was issued.

Zhou Hexuan immediately refused: "I'm very busy, and I live in Tianjin, so I really don't have time."

"Then how about being a visiting professor and only having one class a week?" Luo Jialun persevered.

"I really don't have time, I appreciate Brother Luo's kindness." Zhou Hexuan said with a wry smile.

However, Zhou Hexuan still underestimated Luo Jialun's determination, this person is too fucking stupid!

That night Zhou Hexuan ate, Luo Jialun followed, Zhou Hexuan went back to the cabin to sleep, Luo Jialun followed, Luo Jialun stayed outside even when going to the bathroom.

Zhou Hexuan was so depressed that he wanted to kick him over!

Let’s talk about Luo Jialun first. He also graduated from Peking University back then. He scored zero in mathematics in the entrance examination, but he was exceptionally admitted by Cai Yuanpei and Hu Shi because of his beautiful composition. Like Cai Yuanpei, he actively instigated and cooperated with the purge of the party, which was appreciated by Chang Kaishen. He was promoted to major general when he was less than 30 years old, and now he has been appointed as the president of Tsinghua University.

In the history of Tsinghua University, it was in the hands of Luo Jialun that it really became bigger and stronger.

When this gentleman first took charge of Tsinghua University, Tsinghua University was still a missionary school, supported by generous American boxer indemnities. As soon as he took office, he made a big move and dismissed one-third of Tsinghua's professors, including many foreign professors.

As for the reason, Luo Jialun believed that those professors were unqualified, either due to poor academic level or poor personal conduct.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Jialun personally hired various scholars and masters to teach, and made large-scale construction projects. Many of the later buildings of Tsinghua University were built during his tenure. Tsinghua University, which was originally partial to liberal arts, developed science and engineering in the hands of Luo Jialun, laying the foundation for Tsinghua's excellent science and engineering majors in the future.

When Luo Jialun was the president of Tsinghua, Tsinghua spent more money in one year than the other nine public universities in Pingjin and Tianjin combined.

Rich, willful!

Luo Jialun did not let go when he determined his goal. He once invited a scholar to Tsinghua University as a professor. The other party disagreed, so he just stayed at someone else's house and invited him to Tsinghua University.

As for the result, although Tsinghua University has changed from a church university to a public university under the hands of Luo Jialun, and it has grown rapidly. But Luo Jialun himself was driven away by the teachers and students of Tsinghua University, and fled in a panic.

Because Luo Jialun played party-oriented education in Tsinghua University, calling on everyone to believe in the Three Principles of the People, and also engaged in militarized management. He divided the whole school into four teams, and each team had a captain, who lived with the students and called roll calls sooner or later. Not to mention when to get up and when to go to bed, there are even rigid rules on when to eat. Boys must also wear uniforms. In addition to playground training, there are field exercises every week.

Who the hell can bear it?

Many students have the habit of reading at night, and they can't get up in the morning. Later, the famous philosopher Zhang Dainian was originally admitted to Tsinghua University, but because he couldn't adapt to the morning exercises at 6:30 every day, he was transferred to Beijing Normal University.

Zhou Hexuan couldn't stand it either. He thought that after the ship docked, Luo Jialun would go to Peiping to become the principal.

Who knew that Luo Jialun actually followed Zhou Hexuan and chased him all the way to Zhou Hexuan's home.

"Brother Zhou, are you back?" Wanrong said happily.

Zhou Hexuan asked: "Just you?"

"Yaquan is still at work, and Xiaodong is basking in the sun on the roof." Wanrong looked at Luo Jialun suspiciously, "Who is this gentleman?"

"Leave him alone." Zhou Hexuan didn't even bother to introduce.

Fortunately, he didn't introduce, otherwise Luo Jialun would be so shocked that his eyes would drop if he knew Wanrong's identity.

When eating in the evening, several women sat at the same table, and Meng Xiaodong was a little pregnant among them.

Luo Jialun was not surprised either, it was too common for the Republic of China to marry concubines. He sat still like a soldier, finished his meal in twos and threes, and just watched there quietly.

Zhou Hexuan said dumbfoundedly: "Brother Luo, it's been more than a week since the school opened, aren't you in a hurry to take up the post at Tsinghua University?"

"No hurry, no hurry, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry," Luo Jialun said in a rather leisurely tone, "If Mr. Zhou doesn't promise to be a professor at Tsinghua University, I won't leave for a day. The school's affairs are arranged by the vice president."

This person is a dog's skin plaster, and if it sticks, you can't get rid of it.

Zhou Hexuan called the servant with a funny face: "Arrange a guest room for this Mr. Luo. From now on, he will cook for one more person for each meal. He will stay here for a long time."

"Okay, sir." The servant immediately went to tidy up the guest room.

Do you think it's that simple?

That night, wherever Zhou Hexuan went, Luo Jialun followed him. Even when Zhou Hexuan entered Wanrong's room to have sex, this guy stood outside listening to the corner, and even went to work at the newspaper with Zhou Hexuan the next day.

In just one day, Zhou Hexuan collapsed. He raised his hands and said helplessly, "I'm convinced, President Luo, can't I agree to be a visiting professor at Tsinghua University?"

Luo Jialun was like a general who has won a battle, he laughed loudly: "Then I will wait for Mr. Zhou at Tsinghua University, and leave!"

The plague god finally left, Zhou Hexuan breathed a sigh of relief.
