Chapter 9 Negotiation of work

It was already late after sending the letter, and it was already a 2 o'clock look at the watch.

I have to go to Peking University at 3 pm to finalize all the work matters with Cai Yuanpei, which is a big deal.

To be on the safe side, Cheng Nuo decided not to have lunch, and the inn was not ready to go back, so he ran directly to the destination to avoid any twists and turns in the middle and causing late arrival.

As for the Li Laosan who agreed to pick him up, I can only be sorry for the time being. Let me explain it again. I believe that Li Laosan's character should be understood.

Today, Peking University continues to use the campus site of the Jingshi University, so the distance from Dongjiaomin Lane is not very far, and it belongs to Dongcheng District in later generations.

In just over ten minutes, I arrived at the Peking University office and explained my purpose to the guard. I was soon introduced to Cai Yuanpei's office.

But I didn't expect that from outside the door, there were two guests inside the room.

I looked at my watch and it happened to be 2:30 in the afternoon.

According to common sense, it is best to reach your destination early when talking to others at the scheduled time, 15 minutes is the most appropriate.

Cheng Nuo arrived half an hour early now, which is a bit too early and may catch people off guard.

"Oh, it's too early. Mr. Cai's guests have not been sent away yet. Let's wait outside first. I just take this opportunity to visit Peking University and get familiar with the environment in advance."

Just as he was about to turn around and go somewhere else, Cai Yuanpei inside saw it and hurried out to say hello: "Zhiyuan, why are you ready to leave as soon as you came? This is not my way of hospitality for someone Cai."

Cheng Nuo quickly waved his hand and explained: "Mr. Cai, you are joking. I haven't come too early. Seeing that there are still customers here, I think it's not delaying your affairs. I'm ready to visit Peking University. You're only after you've caught it."

"Ah haha, Zhiyuan, there are opportunities to visit in the future." Cai Yuanpei smiled and said, "I am not a guest, but a teacher in the school. Your future colleagues are not here early but just right."

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

The people in the room also walked out and stood on both sides of Cai Yuanpei, one left and one right.

Seeing the people in the room walking out, Cai Yuanpei said happily to the older man beside him: "Zhiyuan, let me introduce you to you. This is a senior at the mathematics department of Peking University and Professor Feng Zuxun. He has studied at the No. 1 Higher Education in Kyoto, Japan and Kyoto Imperial University. He is the first international student in our country to study mathematics. He has a lot of skills."

Senior, that is, the department chair of later generations, manages the affairs of all subjects.

As a modern mathematics educator in our country, he founded the Department of Mathematics at Peking University. In the future, he also served as the director of the mathematics department of Peking Normal University, Peking Women's Normal University and Northeastern University, and has trained many mathematical talents.

The most famous one is his nephew Fan Ji, who is quite famous for his "Fan Ji inequality". Extending the traditional fixed point theorem to set value functions is an important basis for game theory and other fields.

Then he pulled the younger man and said, "This is Qin Fen, a full professor of mathematics. He still has some fate with you. He is also studying mathematics at Harvard University. He should be considered your senior brother."

Finally, he pulled Cheng Nuo's shoulder and Cai Yuanpei said, "This is what I just told you about Cheng Nuo. Cheng Zhiyuan was arrested as a strong man when he just came back from abroad. It is also a skill. I can't say that I don't support you in the future."

A little different from Feng Zuxun before, Qin Fen not only studied mathematics education, but also served as director of the Accounting Bureau, executive deputy director of the Finance Department, deputy director of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, etc., and has also studied economics quite a lot.

The two laughed loudly, and Feng Zuxun said, "Mr. Cai, we open our arms to talents like Zhiyuan, but the government funding is more and more, the better."

"Yes, the more you get better, the more you get better, haha." Qin Fen also agreed.

After seeing that they were all introduced, Cheng Nuo took the initiative to shake hands.

One is the future direct boss, and the other is the department pillar and the senior of the alma mater. Cheng Nuoxin convinces people that they are proud but not arrogant, and their attitude is neither humble nor arrogant.

Feeling the power in his hand, Feng Zuxun said with satisfaction: "Mr. Cai has praised you a lot before you come, saying that you are a pillar of the country. Now I see the real person!"

"Where are there, I will take care of my seniors in the future." Cheng Nuo said modestly.

On the other side, Qin Fen quipped after shook hands: "Actually, Mr. Cai didn't finish his introduction just now. I studied astronomy and mathematics. I am a side branch, and I can't compare to your orthodox background."

"Senior brother, you are praising me. I dare not say that. I will learn more from you in the future." Cheng Nuo was ashamed.

Cai Yuanpei felt much more relieved when he saw the couple having a good impression of each other.

The new and old schools in the liberal arts are enough to make people feel a headache. Fortunately, there was no trouble in the sciences, otherwise the big shopkeeper would be really uncomfortable.

Seeing that the introductions were almost done, they pulled them back to the house.

"Come on, it's cold outside, let's go into the house and talk slowly."

It is indeed not suitable to stay outside on the twelfth lunar month, especially in Beijing at this time, which is probably several degrees below zero. If you stand for a while, you have to stomp your feet to prevent the cold and numbness.

After a few people entered the house, Cai Yuanpei brewed a pot of hot tea and poured it on Cheng Nuo first.

"Come on, Zhiyuan, have a cup of tea to warm your body."

"Thank you sir."

Taking advantage of Cheng Nuo's rise to thank him, Cai Yuanpei asked the other two: "Apart from the resume materials I gave you before, do you have anything else to ask Zhiyuan?"

The two looked at each other, and Feng Zuxun said: "From the resume materials alone, Zhiyuan is indeed the talent we need in mathematics."

Then he looked at Cheng Nuo who was drinking tea and said, "It's just that there are many subjects in mathematics. We don't know which subject Zhiyuan is good at, so we can also open subjects in the future."

"Yes, Uncle Han's meaning is also what we mean. According to Zhiyuan's needs, we can also formulate a science course report in advance to avoid affecting the start of the new semester."

When Cheng Nuo heard this, he immediately put down his tea and sat upright.

The first article he submitted himself was on algebraic number theory, which belongs to an important branch of number theory and is also one of the most important disciplines in modern mathematics, with great development prospects.

So after a brief thought, Cheng Nuo replied: "I personally like algebraic number theory, and study the overall algebraic structure and arithmetic characteristics. You can consider this aspect if you start a class."

"Algebraic number theory?!"

Feng Zuxun and Qin Fen spoke in unison, their tone full of shock.

As a layman, Cai Yuanpei didn't know what happened and asked: "Two professors, do you have any mystery about what Cheng Nuo said?"

Qin Fen was a little anxious and explained: "You don't know anything about the subject of number theory. We at Peking University have it, and we study the properties and laws of numbers."

"Algebra only knows about number theory, but it is the first time we have heard of it."

Cai Yuanpei looked at Feng Zuxun, the senior of mathematics, and the other party nodded, agreeing with Qin Fen's point of view.

"More than two, I can guarantee that my colleagues in China have never heard of it."

Unexpectedly, he was shocked by the first and second-in-command in the school's mathematics department as soon as he started. After a brief shock, Cai Yuanpei was also very happy. Unexpectedly, he invited a Guojianglong.

In this way, he became more and more satisfied with Cheng Nuo's view, and smiled and said, "Zhiyuan, can you tell us a little bit about it here?"
