Chapter 529: No successor
The idea of favoring boys over girls was prevalent in feudal society.
The inheritance of incense is also something that many big families attach great importance to.
In the past, Shu Wen never felt that there was anything wrong with herself as the only child in the family and as a girl.
But today, she truly experienced the horror of secular ethics.
The way those people looked at her, the desire to swallow up the Shu family whole, could not be hidden at all.
"Dad, if I were a boy, would you and grandpa be happier?" Shu Wen said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Shu Tianqi was stunned, and then stroked Shu Wen's head lovingly.
"Don't listen to what they say. Whether you're a son or a daughter, Dad and Grandpa love you the same. He said that on purpose, but he has ulterior motives. Even without Dad saying it, you're sure to understand."
Shu Tianqi comforted Shu Wen.
"Yeah." Shu Wen nodded.
Of course she understood, but even if she understood everything, she could not help but be affected by those words.
"Mr. Shu, I'd like to offer you a toast. Thanks to your help, we were able to escape the disaster of the last batch of goods from Guantang. I've been looking for an opportunity to thank you in person..."
A middle-aged man walked towards Shu Tianqi with a wine glass in his hand.
"Mr. Wang, you're welcome. It's just a small favor." Shu Tianqi quickly adjusted himself and also raised his glass to greet him.
The birthday banquet is still going on, and the Shu family's proper etiquette must not be neglected.
Shu Wen stood there, looking at the guests in the yard and the glances people cast at her from time to time, and an idea secretly came to Shu Wen's mind!
-
Binjiang University.
Ever since Lu Ye came to inform him, Meng Chenliang contacted Hong Kong University according to the number on the invitation letter.
After repeated confirmation, Meng Chenliang finally confirmed the authenticity of Lu Ye's news.
It’s not that Meng Chenliang doesn’t trust Lu Ye, but there have been a series of blunders before, and now there are all kinds of rumors in the school, so he has to be more cautious.
After receiving a positive answer, Meng Chenliang hurriedly convened an internal meeting of school leaders and formally announced at the meeting that Hong Kong University agreed to the academic exchange between the two schools.
"Great!"
"Looking across the country, there are not many universities that have exchanges with world-class universities. Our Binhai University's exchange partner this time is Hong Kong University. If this news gets out, I wonder how many people will be envious."
"Yeah yeah."
······
In the conference room, several school leaders were discussing excitedly.
Vice President Kong Lingyu had previously contacted Meng Chenliang together with Professor Wu and Professor Li, and knew that it was Meng Chenliang who asked someone else to help contact him.
Unexpectedly, the other party could accomplish such an important matter so quickly. For a moment, Kong Lingyu became extremely curious about the person who helped him.
"President Meng, Hong Kong University is a world-class university. Our academic exchange with them is of great significance. According to regulations, we should report it to the Ministry of Education for record." Kong Lingyu said at the meeting.
"Well, you're right. We need to report this to our superiors."
Meng Chenliang nodded and then said, "The specific content of this academic exchange has not yet been determined. The two schools need to discuss the specific content several times."
"I think we should report this to our superiors first. We can prepare the specific details of the report in writing after we have finalized the academic content with Xiangjiang University."
As soon as Meng Chenliang said this, all the school leaders at the conference table nodded in agreement.
"President Meng is right. Although the matter has been finalized, the specific details have not yet been determined. There are still significant differences between our school and Hong Kong University in some academic content. It is best to wait until everything is finalized before submitting a written report. This will be more rigorous."
"Yeah, I agree."
······
Several members of the school party committee expressed their opinions and unanimously agreed with Meng Chenliang's proposal.
"Since everyone agrees, let's do it this way. I'll trouble Vice President Kong to take care of the report," said Meng Chenliang.
"it is good."
Kong Lingyu nodded and agreed.
This matter is finished.
Next is the issue that everyone is concerned about, which is the personnel of the exchange group going to Hong Kong University.
To be honest, China has been closed for too long.
Everyone sitting around this conference table actually wants to join this exchange group, visit Hong Kong, and visit Hong Kong University.
Look at the outside world and broaden your horizons.
Meng Chenliang looked around and then said:
"Through my connections with Hong Kong University, I've basically confirmed that our exchange group this time needs to be composed of expert professors and outstanding students, with exchanges conducted at different levels."
"This will not only help us see the gap between us and Hong Kong University in terms of teaching, but also help us see if there are any differences between our students and Hong Kong University students in terms of learning."
"This is good. Teachers and students can communicate with each other separately, and horizontal comparison can better reveal the problems." Someone echoed.
······
A school leadership meeting lasted nearly two hours.
The most discussed topic was which professional disciplines Binhai University should recommend.
Some people think that since it is an academic exchange, we should choose Binjiang’s most powerful major.
This will not only allow Hong Kong University to see the strength of Binhai University, but also win a certain amount of face so that people will not look down on them, and lay the foundation for establishing a longer-term friendship with Hong Kong University in the future.
Some people also believe that we should choose majors that are common to both schools, so that everyone can communicate with each other and make horizontal comparisons meaningful. Even if this is not Binhai University's flagship major, even if it is inferior to Hong Kong University, we can still gain a lot of experience from it.
In the end, neither side was able to convince the other.
Meng Chenliang temporarily suppressed this difficult problem on the grounds that he needed to discuss it with Hong Kong University.
However, there is one major that has been unanimously approved by the school leaders.
That is Su Mengyao’s major in philosophy!
This exchange meeting was obtained by Su Mengyao's husband for Binjiang University. Besides, Su Mengyao's name was written on the invitation letter from Xiangjiang University.
Whether out of the desire to return a favor or out of respect for the invitation letter from Hong Kong University, Su Mengyao must join the exchange group. Naturally, her major in philosophy is one of the academic projects of this exchange.
As the meeting ended.
The news that Binhai University was going to have academic exchanges with Hong Kong University spread throughout the school again.
