The research institute has made huge investments, such as the early training of teaching staff, the compilation of teaching materials, the deciphering of ancient Chinese classics, etc.
"With the joining of Xiao Shen, international academic exchanges are basically stable," said Xu Zijian.
Jiang Tianji nodded: "I have tolerated those southern barbarians for a long time, but they can indeed come up with something to crush us."
Ning Zheng came over: "What are you talking about?"
Zhou Yanshi understood a little: "They are talking about the academic exchanges with the Nanman every year, and they are crushed every year."
Ning Zheng was somewhat puzzled: "How can we not be able to defeat a country that is only a vassal state of ancient China, a country where even the names of its people need Chinese characters, and a country where there is even a cultural gap?"
Before the 16th century, they did not have their own writing system and had always used Chinese characters. Many nobles and scholars came to China to study and learn about Chinese culture and politics. They were proud of being able to use Chinese characters proficiently, and using Chinese characters was considered "elegant."
Jiang Tianji shook his head. "It is precisely because of their cultural gap that there are a lot of Chinese in their ancient books. There are also some ancient poetry collections that some scholars brought back when they came to study abroad. Every year during academic exchanges, they would use poems from the ancient poetry collections to attack us. They are clearly Chinese things."
Xu Zijian nodded and said angrily, "Yes, according to the news, they found a book called "Three Hundred Song Poems" compiled by ancient Chinese scholars. In China, "Three Hundred Song Poems" has been lost, and they are now preparing to apply for World Heritage status."
This is really infuriating.
"So you are planning to let Chen Xian participate in international academic exchanges?" Ning Zheng asked.
The two nodded.
Ning Zheng smiled and said, "You have to pay him. He won't work if you don't pay him."
There was a hint of sarcasm in the words.
After dinner, Shen Xian helped his stepmother clean up, and it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Ning Zheng was reading a book in the living room, while Ning Cai was sitting next to him playing with her phone.
"Come over and talk." Ning Zheng said to Chen Xian.
Shen Xian came over and sat on the sofa, and Ning Cai poured Shen Xian a cup of tea.
"Thank you." Shen Xian picked up the teacup.
"Since you two are here, I'll start talking." Ning Zheng said.
Ning Cai frowned. Is this the same old thing again?
Upon hearing this, my stepmother hurried over and said, "Ah Zheng, young people have their own ideas. We shouldn't get involved."
Ning Zheng shook his head and showed the dignity of the head of the family: "Chen Xian, I have to admit that you are excellent and talented, but there are some things that talent cannot overcome."
"Talent can't even compete with capital, let alone class differences?"
"Ning Cai has her own path to follow, and you have your own path to follow. Since you are in different fields, there is no need to get close to each other. Chen Xian, what do you think?"
Of course Shen Xian felt that what he said made sense.
So he nodded and said, "I understand what Secretary Ning said. I said that I have no intention of interfering with Ning Cai's future. I will not persuade her to be with me, nor will I persuade her to stay away from me, but I will persuade her to take the most suitable path for herself. This is also my advice to her."
Ning Zheng nodded: "Okay."
In this regard, he likes to be leisurely and knows how to deal with current affairs.
Chen Xian then said to Ning Cai: "Ning Cai, no matter how hard it is or how many books you read, it is not as good as your parents paving the way for you. Think about it, compare it, and take a look."
Ning Cai bit her lips. Has he given up completely?
Don't you have even the slightest thought of resistance?
"What if I insist, I want to be with you?" Ning Cai asked.
Chen Xian smiled and shook his head: "Ning Cai, promises are only valid when you are in love, and emotions are most abundant at this stage. When love is worn away by the daily necessities of life, can you guarantee that you will not regret your choice today?"
Ning Cai naturally understood this logic, but she didn't know how to refute it.
What is the biggest lie?
Yes, I will always love you, I will love you forever, I will love you all my life.
How many people have said this and then, after the novelty wore off, fell in love with someone else?
countless.
For example, Ning Zheng indeed has deep feelings for his deceased wife, but now, isn’t he still in love with his stepmother?
"Ning Cai, stop being willful." Ning Zheng said seriously.
Stepmother really wanted to bring Chen Xian and Ning Zheng together, but seeing this, Chen Xian didn't want to continue.
She didn't know whether Chen Xian felt pressured or had low self-esteem, or didn't love Ning Cai, or maybe all of these.
She felt very sorry, but she also knew that feelings cannot be forced.
"I got it." Ning Cai stood up and walked upstairs.
As she walked up the stairs, she finally couldn't stop her tears from falling.
I said to myself: Chen Xian, how I wish you could be firm for me just once.
"Secretary Ning, Auntie, go to bed early tonight. I will go back to Nanzhou tomorrow." Shen Xian said, carrying his suitcase, and walked out of the villa.
"I'll arrange a driver to take you there," Ning Zheng said, "and I'll arrange a hotel for you, too."
Shen Xian smiled brightly: “Then write more about Secretary Ning.”
As soon as he left the villa area, Qi Zhengqing received a message: "Chen Xian did not stay at the Ning family tonight. Secretary Ning arranged for him to stay in Room 1302 of the Kyoto Hotel."
"Send this message to Su Rulong as well. He will definitely find a way to drug Chen Xian... No, I want to go and take a look too. Get the camera ready for me!" Qi Zhengqing said excitedly.
