Chapter 35 Oh no! He overdid it!
"Not at all! Professor Lin is truly a man of great talent and virtue, with students all over the world. Even at his advanced age, he still goes to great lengths to bring his students to this desolate place to search for ancient sites, all for the sake of national cultural relics. It is truly admirable."
In order to return to the city, Chen Jianming deliberately tried to impress the old professor: "There is a poem that says, 'New bamboo shoots grow taller than old bamboo branches, all thanks to the support of the old branches.' This is very fitting for Professor Lin."
Professor Lin was quite surprised to hear this. He hadn't expected the young man to be so eloquent, which pleased him greatly.
He endured a great deal of hardship to protect national cultural relics and cultivate talent for the country; his life was so difficult that it could be described as a near-death experience.
These words touched him deeply, reminding him of some things from his youth.
He once worked on an archaeological expedition with his colleagues. In order to protect cultural relics, he suffered countless hardships. Later, he was even framed for privately possessing cultural relics.
Along the way, how many people can truly understand?
It worked!
Chen Jianming secretly observed the other party's expression, and he knew that these old professors were susceptible to this.
"What Brother Chen said is indeed correct; these words are very apt for describing teachers."
The male student in the Zhongshan suit spoke up, took out a small notebook, and wrote down all the words.
"You're exaggerating. I can't take those words."
Professor Lin waved his hand, changing his way of addressing Chen Jianming: "Young Chen, you seem quite eloquent. I wonder what books you've read?"
What he just said doesn't sound like something an ordinary educated youth would say.
Without a second thought, Chen Jianming launched into a torrent of flattery: "In front of Professor Lin, how dare I speak of reading? However, my father did read some of the Book of Poetry and other ancient texts, such as the Six Secret Teachings, Mencius, and the Book of Diplomacy—but those are nothing to mention!"
He did read some of these books when he was a child, but most of them were extracted from the memories of those Japanese devils.
It must be said that those Japanese devils have a deep understanding of traditional Chinese culture.
As expected, imperialism has never given up its desire to destroy us!
The male student in the Zhongshan suit looked surprised: "You've read all these books?"
Chen Jianming nodded: "When my father was alive, he always taught me to read more books. He also said that only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. We should learn from the barbarians' superior techniques to subdue them. Only in this way can our country achieve rejuvenation!"
That's true. His father, Chen Dashan, did teach him this a lot when he was alive, but the original owner of this body hadn't heard it much.
Upon hearing these words, Professor Lin and several students' expressions changed.
Even the guards couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.
As soldiers, they consider it their duty to defend the country and are very interested in matters such as national rejuvenation.
Seeing that no one responded, Chen Jianming continued, "Why were those Japanese devils able to bully us in modern times? It was because they learned our culture and then used it against us."
"Why can't we do that? If everyone can humbly learn, how can the nation not prosper!"
He had a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, and his words carried great weight.
These weren't just attempts to flatter him; they were all his honest thoughts!
"Well said!"
The seven guards and several students couldn't help but applaud.
Professor Lin's students, in particular, felt ashamed, as they, as Professor Lin's students, did not necessarily have such insights.
"This little guy is truly a diamond in the rough."
Professor Lin found him increasingly pleasing to the eye and said with a smile, "Young Chen, you've even read the Six Secret Teachings? Do you know what the saying 'Those who follow the right path will succeed, and all things that grasp their essence will thrive' means?"
"The fundamental principle, the essence, the source of the Way, is where the world belongs. Take our country for example, we should vigorously develop science and technology and industry in order to completely get rid of backwardness and allow the people to live a good life. The Japanese devils were able to bully us because their industry was more developed than ours."
Professor Lin's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested, discussing the details in the book with Chen Jianming as they walked.
Several students followed behind, and they were all very impressed to see that this young man, who was not even as old as them, was so knowledgeable and talented.
Chen Jianming is very knowledgeable about many historical allusions and has a particularly deep understanding of them. Even Professor Lin has some difficulty keeping up with his thinking.
"Professor, do you think what Brother Chen said is correct?"
A male student dressed in a Zhongshan suit stepped forward to ask for advice.
Many of the allusions and facts he mentioned were things that even Professor Lin's best student didn't know.
For example, Chen Jianming also talked about archaeology, about feng shui and tombs, and about tomb raiding incidents in history.
Professor Lin was taken aback, his expression somewhat embarrassed. He himself only had a superficial understanding of that knowledge, yet this young man was able to explain it in detail.
As a teacher, one cannot show weakness in front of students.
Professor Lin coughed lightly: "Now you know there are always people more capable than you, right? I've often taught you that you can't just bury yourself in books all the time; you also need to pay attention to practice. Xiao Chen's experiences are all examples of him combining book knowledge with practical experience."
The boy in the Zhongshan suit nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice: "Professor, you are right. I will definitely take Brother Chen as my role model."
Professor Lin ignored him and turned back to discuss academic matters with Chen Jianming.
They chatted until dusk, and he still felt there was more to say.
"Xiao Chen, I never knew you were so knowledgeable. It's such a waste to have your talents buried in a place like this. Have you ever considered teaching? I can write you a letter of recommendation." Professor Lin's eyes shone with excitement.
Such an outstanding young man, you can't find a single flaw in him!
Chen Jianming's heart skipped a beat, and he cried out that something was wrong.
I was just trying to make a good impression, but I ended up overdoing it!
There are so many antiques and treasures in the space; his goal is to enjoy life, not to teach.
He shook his head repeatedly: "Professor Lin, I know I have some skills. I didn't even finish high school, so I shouldn't go and mislead other students."
Professor Lin disagreed: "There's a poem that goes, 'I urge Heaven to rouse itself anew and send down talents without regard to convention.' Academic qualifications don't fully represent knowledge. Throughout history, how many self-taught individuals have achieved such success? I think Xiao Chen should seriously consider this; don't let your talents be buried in the mountains."
"Let's talk about that another time. It's getting late now. I just saw some wild animal droppings. I'll go check if I can hunt some game nearby to treat you all."
Seeing that Professor Lin was about to continue persuading him, Chen Jianming had a sudden inspiration and quickly made an excuse to slip away.
"Young Master Chen is truly learned and talented. Not only is he eloquent, but he also knows how to hunt. He's a real prodigy," a student exclaimed sincerely.
The others nodded in agreement.
"This young man is talented..."
The guards weren't good at pedantry and spoke quite bluntly, but they all admired Chen Jianming.
They wandered around in the nearby woods for a while, but didn't see even a single wild animal.
In the end, he had no choice but to take out three big, fat rabbits from his spatial storage.
