In the principal's office in the administrative building of Hudan University, Li Jin met Shangguan Xun, a leading figure in domestic academic circles.
This old man, who is nearly seventy years old, looks energetic and strong.
This was the second time that Li Jin saw such an old person with such a good spirit.
The first time I saw it was on Mr. Huo.
"Hello, Principal Shangguan. I would like to send my greetings to you, Li Jin, who is a junior in school."
After entering the door, Li Jin's attitude was extremely respectful and sincere.
Not only because of the other party's status, but also because this is an academic senior who truly serves the country and the people.
Shangguan Xunzi looked at Li Jin carefully, and then said with a hearty smile: "Hello, Mr. Li has already achieved so much at such a young age, which puts us old men who have lived in vain to shame.
very."
Li Jin replied: "Principal Shangguan promoted me. I just caught up with a good era. If it weren't for our ancestors like Principal Shangguan who put in countless efforts and sweat for national construction, how could we, the younger generation, have such a good environment?"
"Okay." Shangguan Xun and Li Jin shook hands vigorously and said in approval: "When Lao Huo called me before, I was worried about what I would do if he was a businessman who smelled like copper. Now it seems that I am the one who has the most trouble.
Think about it."
Li Jin smiled, turned around and took a long box from Liu Jun's hand, and said to Shangguan Xun: "Principal Shangguan, I came here this time with a gift."
Seeing Li Jin's actions and words, Shangguan Xun frowned slightly and said with an unhappy expression: "What are you doing? I never accept gifts, please take them back quickly."
Not only that, Shangguan Xun's previous good impression of Li Jin was also ruined.
Fang Fuxing, who was watching this scene, was secretly anxious. He felt that Li Jin was a bit younger and more impatient after all, and had brought over the society's habit of giving gifts.
Who is Principal Shangguan? He is now the top figure in domestic academic circles. How can he accept gifts from others?
Facing the unhappy Principal Shangguan, Li Jin did smile and said, "Principal Shangguan, don't be too hasty to refuse. Principal Shangguan will definitely like my gift."
"Moreover, I am not giving this to you personally, President Shangguan, but to all the teachers and students of our Hudan University."
"Oh?" Shangguan Xun became interested after hearing this, "Then I want to see what gift is so heavy?"
"Let me tell you first, if it is some secular thing, I will still refuse it. After all, this is a campus, and we still have to pay attention to the ethos."
Li Jin chuckled lightly and was not in a hurry to explain. He just opened the long box.
Inside the long box, there lay a carefully packaged scroll. The scroll was about one and a half meters in length. It looked like it had been around for some time. The outside was covered with sealing wax to prevent oxidation and corrosion.
"Secretary Fang, please help me."
After hearing Li Jin's words, Fang Fuxing responded and hurried over. He and Li Jin carefully took out the scroll and slowly unfolded it.
Principal Shangguan looked at the slowly opened scroll. He could already feel that the scroll must be a valuable antique. He subconsciously took out his reading glasses and put them on the bridge of his nose.
At this time, the department heads and deans who were called to accompany him also came over, and everyone looked at the scroll curiously.
As the scroll unfolded, only the first line of content was revealed, and disbelief came from the crowd.
"This, this is Mr. Qinshan's calligraphy "Han Xia Kao Wenyuan Yi"!?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Nowadays, most people in the country don’t know who Mr. Qinshan is.
But in Hudan University, if you don’t know Mr. Qinshan, it is simply a sin.
Mr. Qinshan was the founder and first president of Hudan University. He was also a person who stood at the top level of the Chinese cultural circle in that special era.
His students, just name them at random, are all people who participated in and even led major historical processes in modern times.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was excited, especially Principal Shangguan.
Li Jin raised his eyes and glanced at the person who spoke, and said with a smile: "This gentleman has good eyesight, I wonder?"
"Professor Wu is the head of the modern history department at Hudan University, and is one of the top three academics in the domestic modern history academic circle."
Shangguan Xun made an introduction, then looked at the opened scroll excitedly and said, "Is this an authentic work?"
Li Jin smiled and said: "Of course I don't dare to fool you with Mr. Qinshan's fakes. They are indeed authentic."
After saying this, Li Jin praised Tang Shunli in his heart.
After learning that Li Jin was preparing a gift for Hudan University, Tang Shunli, who was bent on making up for his past mistakes, immediately searched for this treasure.
If Tang Shunli's family hadn't had a relationship with the collector who originally collected it, he really wouldn't have been able to acquire this treasure. Even so, Li Jin still spent eight figures to get this calligraphy treasure of Mr. Qinshan.
The price is tens of millions, which is not cheap anymore.
In today's China, tens of millions is already a stifling number, but in Li Jin's opinion, it is appropriate to give it as a gift to Hudan University.
"Mr. Qinshan is recognized as a great sage at home and abroad. Although he has already left Hexi, his achievements are still there. Hudan University is still a sacred institution that benefits all people."
"I think it would be a pity for Hudan University if Mr. Qinshan's calligraphy was lost outside. Therefore, I borrowed flowers and presented Buddha to present this calligraphy to Hudan University. I hope that Hudan University can uphold his legacy and serve the country well."
Cultivate talented people and raise sages for the people."
What does it mean to be able to talk?
Li Jin is called good at talking.
After saying this, the room was filled with top academic figures in their respective fields. They were all smiling and looking at Li Jin with more cordial eyes.
Even Principal Shangguan looked at Li Jin with extremely soft eyes.
"Ajin, I asked you to call me this. On behalf of all the teachers and students of Hudan University, I would like to thank you for this gift!"
"We all know that it is very valuable, but for Hudan University, what is more important is its symbolic meaning, so frankly speaking, we cannot refuse this gift and we are reluctant to refuse it. We have accepted it, thank you."
As he said this, Shangguan Xun actually wanted to bow down and salute Li Jin.
How could Li Jin accept this gift? He stretched out his hand to support Shangguan Xun and said awkwardly: "Principal Shangguan, if you hurt me like this, I would be really embarrassed to stay here."
As soon as these words came out, the whole room burst into laughter. Shangguan Xun no longer insisted and ordered people to treasure the calligraphy treasure carefully. It would be sent to the auditorium of Hudan University one day to be framed for all teachers and students to admire.
Seeing that the gift had an unexpected effect, Li Jin smiled slightly and was thinking about how to propose his intention when Principal Shangguan took the initiative to bring up the topic.
"Ajin, I know you came here this time for the lithography machine? I have already called the relevant academic professors for you. How do you need Hudan University to cooperate with you?"
Li Jin breathed a sigh of relief, this is the difference between giving a gift and not giving a gift!
