I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 103 102. Prestigious schools compete for it! Appreciate the work.

Wang Fei and Wang Yang, Sophia.

Han Qing, Pu Yuexi, Li Wen, Wang Jing, Chen Xiaojia and others all widened their eyes slightly and looked at Huang Bo, Li Wenjun and other people from Peking University.

They all thought that these two prestigious schools would definitely value Jiang Chen more.

After all, he is the only calligraphy master in the Chinese calligraphy world in the past decade or so, and can be regarded as a banner of the current Chinese calligraphy world.

Any school that can recruit Jiang Chen will immediately be able to rise to a higher level in the Chinese studies circle, and may have the opportunity to become a unique school in the future.

but……

They had not expected that Peking University's methods would be so radical. They did not act like a prestigious school at all. They offered Jiang Chen good conditions right from the start and even used the beauty trap.

Objectively speaking, several women like Pu Yuexi and Han Qing have to admit that Li Wenjun's appearance and temperament are extremely stunning, which is the kind of existence that can't be seen in reality or on the Internet. Many stars and Internet celebrities don't have this kind of stunning feeling even with makeup and special effects.

If they were boys, they might not be able to resist at all.

After listening to Huang Bo's words, Jiang Chen looked at Li Wenjun again, a smile appeared on his lips, and he was about to speak.

Yang Wenjie next to him couldn't sit still, fearing that Jiang Chen would accept Huang Bo's invitation, and then Shuimu would miss out on Jiang Chen, which would be the biggest regret and the thing he regrets most in his life.

Therefore, Yang Wenjie immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Jiang Chen, you might as well listen to our sincerity. I am here this time as the director of the Chinese Department of Shuimu, and I am here on behalf of Shuimu to invite you."

"We know that you like freedom and won't stay in one place for too long. So we will give you very relaxed conditions and directly give you the title of full professor. You only need to teach three classes per semester. In fact, it is equivalent to a visiting professor. I will strive to get you the highest salary."

"The annual salary is 1.5 million, plus various subsidies from the school and superiors. I'll give you a three-bedroom apartment on campus, so you can move in whenever you want and leave it empty when you leave. I know these are nothing compared to your current income, but this is already the best treatment at our school."

"We at Shuimu have always been willing to give whatever we can to talented people. If you don't have a partner, we can also introduce you to a teacher at our school..."

Yang Wenjie also took the risk and promised to introduce a girl to her, which could be considered a beauty trap.

He really didn't want to miss out on a talent like Jiang Chen, and he didn't want to watch Jiang Chen being snatched away by Peking University. If he went back, he would be so upset that he would want to commit suicide.

There was an eerie silence at the scene again.

This time, Huang Bo, Huang Wenqing, Zhang Shuwen and others were staring at Yang Wenjie with wide eyes.

Wang Xuefeng, who came with Yang Wenjie, looked at him with his head tilted, somewhat surprised. The conditions and treatment were better than what he, a veteran employee who had worked at Shuimu for more than 20 years, had received.

and……

Yang Wenjie promised Jiang Chen that he only had to attend three classes per semester.

Huang Bo took a deep breath, stood up and wanted to say something...

Jiang Chen quickly put down his chopsticks, waved his hand to interrupt the dispute between the two famous school deans, and said, "You two, pause for a moment. Let me say a few words!"

Huang Bo smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, Jiang Chen, I am eager to recruit talents, I am too excited."

After saying that, Huang Bo sat down.

Yang Wenjie also smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang Chen, if you have any concerns or other requests, you can just let me know. I will do my best to satisfy you."

After Yang Wenjie finished speaking, he also sat down.

Others also looked at Jiang Chen curiously, wondering what Jiang Chen would choose.

They almost never thought that Jiang Chen would refuse.

because……

It is really hard for anyone to refuse the invitation from two of the best universities in China. This is the best choice to improve social status and gild one's resume.

Some of the older generation of celebrities, artists, hosts, etc. in the entertainment industry have worked as teachers in a college or taught a few classes. They are respectfully called teachers by everyone, and this title has accompanied them throughout their entire careers, directly raising their status in the circle by at least half a level.

Many masters and experts in society, no matter what school they have taught in, will publicize their resumes in order to elevate themselves and enhance their credibility.

and so.

Those who have held positions in colleges and universities will gain some trust and respect from most people in society.

And now, Jiang Chen has the opportunity to work in Peking University and Shuimu University, the first and second best universities in the country. If this gets out, it will definitely shock many people.

because……

Jiang Chen is really too young, and his academic qualifications are relatively ordinary. According to his academic qualifications, he is not qualified to work in these two prestigious universities.

but.

Jiang Chen glanced at them and shook his head gently, saying, "First of all, I am very grateful for your appreciation and favor for me. However, I am very sorry that I cannot accept your invitation. Director Yang is right. I don't like to work in one place all the time."

Yang Wenjie hurriedly explained: "So, Mr. Jiang Chen, you don't have to clock in all the time. You only need to come to teach three classes per semester. Let me know in advance and I will arrange it for you. You just need to come to class and leave after class. There will be no restrictions on you."

Huang Bo also said: "We at Beijing University will not restrict you in any way. You only need to come to teach two classes each semester. You can come whenever you want and leave whenever you want. This will always be your home."

Li Wenjun said softly: "Jiang Chen, many students at Beijing University are your loyal fans and really want to listen to your lectures."

Yang Wenjie glanced at Li Wenjun again and wanted to say that Jingda was committing a foul by always using the beauty trap.

Jiang Chen waved his hand again to stop the two from talking, and quickly said: "You two, and Mr. Li, thank you very much for your recognition of me. However, what I just said is only one reason. The most important reason is that I feel that I am not qualified for your invitation. I am only an undergraduate, and I studied science at the beginning. Recently, I have suddenly become enlightened and have made some achievements in calligraphy and literary creation."

"When it comes to knowledge in the humanities, Li Wenjun can crush me, not to mention the other knowledgeable masters among you. So, I know myself well. I am not qualified to teach the geniuses from your two schools."

"If you like my work and recognize my work, I will be very happy and satisfied."

"So, I'm sorry!"

After saying that, Jiang Chen picked up the teacup and drank it first, indicating that he formally rejected the invitations from both parties!
There was a hint of silence at the scene again!
Everyone was still a little bit unconvinced that Jiang Chen actually refused so decisively.

Han Qing, Pu Yuexi and the others breathed a sigh of relief with a hint of a smile on their faces. They had followed Jiang Chen out, so naturally they didn't want Jiang Chen to stay in the capital. It was impossible for them to stay in the capital, as they would have nowhere to go and could only return to their original place, where they would be like losers!
They still hoped that Jiang Chen could take them to continue this unfinished journey, and they always had a glimmer of fantasy in their hearts.

Both Wang Fei and Wang Yang felt a little sorry. They thought Jiang Chen should accept the invitation, even if it was just in name. It would only take up two or three classes in a semester and would not take up much time at all.

However, the added value to Jiang Chen's fame and social status is definitely huge.

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he continued eating.

Huang Bo and Yang Wenjie were reluctant to continue inviting Jiang Chen after hearing his firm refusal, but they did not give up in their hearts and waited for the next opportunity.

Huang Bo smiled and said, "Jiang Chen, you are underestimating yourself. Although you are an undergraduate, Sichuan University is also a famous school. With your talent and ability, you are definitely qualified for the position of professor in our school. Wait a few more years, and I will give you my position."

Yang Wenjie also said: "Jiang Chen, you are too modest. Even with your status as a calligraphy master, you are more than qualified to be a professor in our school."

Jiang Chen shook his head slightly, smiled without saying anything, and continued eating without arguing with them anymore.

Huang Bo and Yang Wenjie looked at each other, both serious, and then continued eating.

The dinner table became a little quieter.

Wang Yang began to change the subject and said, "Jiang Chen, I will be your guide tomorrow. Where do you want to go?"

Jiang Chen listened and said softly: "Let's record the song tomorrow. If you have time in the afternoon, you can go to the nearby Forbidden City. If you have time the day after tomorrow, you can go to the Great Wall. I haven't been to the Great Wall yet."

Wang Yang agreed immediately: "Okay, let's go record the song tomorrow morning, visit the Forbidden City in the afternoon, and come to my sister's place for dinner in the evening."

Li Wenjun smiled and said, "Jiang Chen, do you want to come and visit our campus? Our campus is also a major attraction in Beijing. I can be your guide."

Yang Wenjie looked at Huang Bo and thought, your beauty trap will never end, right?
However, he looked at Li Wenjun, and it seemed that this was not a honey trap set by Huang Boshi, but that Li Wenjun herself really wanted to get close to Jiang Chen.

Yang Wenjie also said: "Now that you are in Beijing, you should come and see our Shuimu campus!"

Seeing that the people from the two schools were about to argue again, Jiang Chen hurriedly said, "Let's see the time. Let's go and see both of them when we have time." Wang Fei asked softly, "Since you are in Beijing, stay a little longer. This is your first time here. Go to all the famous places and leave no regrets. Where is the hotel you booked? Or you can stay here. There are a few empty rooms in the back."

Li Wenjun also said immediately: "My family also has an empty courtyard in the alley next door. It is very close to the Forbidden City and there are many places to visit nearby. Why don't you live in my courtyard?"

Huang Bo, Lin Shuang, Zhang Shuwen, Yang Wenjie, Wang Xuefeng and other people who knew Li Wenjun looked at the most beautiful woman in Peking University in a hundred years with some surprise.

Li Wenjun is usually very serious and there are not many people who can talk to her.

But when she saw Jiang Chen today, she had been actively talking to him, trying to get closer to him. This was definitely not the same Li Wenjun as usual.

Perhaps, in the past twenty years, Li Wenjun has never spoken so much to someone so proactively.

Yang Wenjie originally thought that Li Wenjun was following Huang Bo's instructions to use her beauty trap on Jiang Chen, so she kept speaking. Now, seeing the puzzled expressions on Huang Bo's and the others' faces, he immediately understood that Huang Bo might really not have any instructions, and it was really Li Wenjun who was taking the initiative.

Yang Wenjie looked at Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen's appearance could only be described as somewhat handsome, but was far from the stunning level of Li Wenjun.

However, he knew that Jiang Chen's calligraphy and literary talent might be unmatched in the current national calligraphy and literary circles.

Given Li Wenjun's preferences, it seems reasonable that she would be attracted by Jiang Chen's talent.

However, the impression of Li Wenjun in their minds seemed to be different.

They have always felt that Li Wenjun has been single and no one likes her. There may be no one in the world who is worthy of her. Such a fairy-like existence should live a lonely life, leaving a little fantasy for everyone else, and finally leave the world alone and flawless.

Now, the impression Li Wenjun gave them was as if a fairy had truly merged into the mortal world. She was less cold and ethereal, and more down-to-earth.

because!

She might have been tempted.

Jiang Chen listened to Wang Fei and Li Wenjun's invitation, smiled at them, shook his head and said, "No need, we are also staying in a hotel nearby, so we won't bother you."

The two of them did not continue to invite.

Li Wenjun nodded and said, "Can I watch you record the song tomorrow?"

Jiang Chen didn't care: "Of course."

Wang Fei smiled and said, "I'll go take a look too."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Welcome Professor Wang's guidance."

Wang Fei smiled and said, "I don't deserve your advice. I'm here to learn."

She was telling the truth. She really wanted to listen to Jiang Chen's music and learn about his musical philosophy.

After a joke, the atmosphere at the dinner table became relaxed.

Seeing the relaxed atmosphere, Zhang Shuwen said with a hint of embarrassment: "Jiang Chen, can we take a look at some of your works? Um, if it's not convenient, forget it!"

Zhang Shuwen's words instantly made Huang Bo, Huang Wenqing, Yang Wenjie, Lin Shuang, and Li Wenjun excited. They were all in the literary circle, so they naturally liked Jiang Chen's calligraphy and literary works the most. They really wanted to see Jiang Chen's original works, but they had never been able to speak up.

Zhang Shuwen, who has always had no taboos, took the opportunity to speak out.

Wang Fei, Wang Yang, Sophia and others also looked at Jiang Chen expectantly.

They also like Jiang Chen's works very much, so naturally they want to see the originals and wonder how they are different from what is shown in the video.

Jiang Chen didn't get angry after hearing this. He turned to look at Han Qing and said, "Xiao Qingzi, did you bring the things?"

Everyone looked at Han Qing.

Han Qing nodded: "Of course, the things you wrote are so precious that I always carry them with me. I dare not leave them in the hotel casually. If they are lost, we will suffer a great loss."

Just for the painting of View of Mountains written by Jiang Chen, someone offered a sky-high price of over 20 million yuan.

Therefore, Han Qing didn't dare to leave Jiang Chen's works in the hotel. She always put them in her bag so she could see them at any time. The total value of the several works in her bag was estimated to be over 100 million.

Carrying hundreds of millions of dollars at any time, Han Qing is under tremendous pressure.

Jiang Chen listened and said with a smile: "Great, then you can show it to them. If there is anything wrong with it, they can give me some advice. After all, I am just a latecomer."

Zhang Shuwen heard this and waved his hands hastily, saying, "I absolutely don't deserve your advice. You've already defeated us old guys who have been around for a lifetime, even though you've just started learning new skills!"

Zhang Shuwen's words made Huang Bo, Huang Wenqing, Yang Wenjie and Wang Xuefeng feel embarrassed and blush.

This sentence includes them all. Almost all of them are masters of calligraphy and have practiced calligraphy for at least thirty or forty years, but they are still a long way from reaching the level of calligraphy masters.

Han Qing turned around, opened her backpack, and took out several boxes. Li Wenjun quickly stood up and caught one with both hands.

Then, Wang Fei, Sophia, and Wang Yang also hurriedly stood up and caught a box with both hands, then turned around and placed the box on the coffee table in the middle of the yard next to them.

Huang Wenqing walked forward and gently opened one of the boxes, took out the work and slowly opened it.

When they saw the words above, they all felt refreshed and felt a sense of enjoyment.

This piece of work is exactly the one Jiang Chen wrote recently, "Staying Overnight in a Mountain Temple", on Mount Tai.

"The tower is a hundred feet high, and I can pick the stars with my hands. I dare not speak loudly, for fear of disturbing the gods in heaven. The writing is good, and the handwriting is even better, with an ethereal aura..."

Huang Wenqing exclaimed in praise.

Then, Huang Bo opened a box next to him, inside of which lay the poem Wang Yue written by Jiang Chen, which was also the work they wanted to see the most.

It opened slowly, and everyone from the two schools, as well as Wang Yang, Wang Fei, and Sophia all came forward and looked at it carefully with wide eyes.

"How is Mount Tai? The green of Qi and Lu is endless."

"Nature is full of wonders, and yin and yang divide the day and night."

"The clouds grow in the breasts, and the returning birds enter the canthus."

"You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of all the small mountains."

"It's so well written. Even if it's included in the collection of Tang poetry, this poem is a top-notch masterpiece. The calligraphy is even more magnificent, and every word is so vivid. No wonder someone is willing to pay 20 million to buy it. If I had 20 million, I would also like to buy it and put it at home to enjoy it slowly."

Huang Bo exclaimed in praise.

After hearing this, the other people were also amazed and nodded in agreement.

Sophia whispered beside Wang Fei: "If I offer 20 million, will he sell it to me?"

Wang Fei glared at Sophia and said, "Shut up!"

Sophia shrank her neck and didn't dare to speak, but her eyes were full of desire as she looked at the work.

Yang Wenjie said softly, "It's a pity that many of Jiang Chen's works are placed in the Magic City. If all of Jiang Chen's works can be gathered together for appreciation, it will definitely be a major event in today's literary world."

After hearing what Yang Wenjie said, several people's faces were filled with regret.

However, Li Wenjun's eyes flickered, and he asked softly, "Jiang Chen, you will continue your journey in a few days. It is not convenient to drive with these works along the way. Xiao Qingzi will also have to carry them on her back every time, and there is a risk of damage. Why don't you leave them in Beijing? How about I keep them for you? When you finish your travel, I will return them to you next time you come to Beijing. I will definitely take good care of them for you and they will not be damaged at all."

amount……

Huang Bo, Lin Shuang, Zhang Shuwen, Yang Wenjie, Wang Xuefeng, Wang Fei, Wang Yang, Sophia and others all had surprise in their eyes.

How come they didn't think of this?

If they could keep Jiang Chen's works in their hands, even just temporarily, wouldn't they be able to appreciate them?
