Chapter 952 I Am the White Moonlight (15)
The front page headlines of all the major newspapers that day all published the news that Gu Qingcheng, Wei Jingxi and other students had returned from studying abroad.
This is no longer just a major event in the academic and educational circles, nor is it simply dependent on the influence of Gu's father or Principal Wei, but is simply because of a "Ms. Gu".
Glancing at some leaders and warlord representatives standing in the crowd, Father Gu and Principal Wei were both somewhat moved: "Is this considered a disciple surpassing his master?"
For a long time, when people mentioned the young couple Gu Wanqing and Wei Jingxi, the first thing they said was often -
"This is Gu Wenhao's daughter! This is Principal Wei's eldest son!"
Now, I guess they only have one identity——
"Ms. Gu! Ms. Gu's husband."
Realizing this, Father Gu felt proud but also a little worried.
He is a traditional feudal patriarch who believes in and advocates "men work outside and women work inside".
It's a good thing that my daughter has such a great reputation, but it also has hidden dangers.
"Jingxi, will he, will he care?"
Not to mention the current era of transition from the old to the new, even a hundred years from now, people will be accustomed to the combination of "strong men and weak women".
If a woman is too strong or shines too brightly, her husband may easily become psychologically unbalanced, and then...
The Gu family and the Wei family are old friends, and Wei Jingxi is a good child who grew up in his care.
Gu's father had long since decided that he was his son-in-law, and he really didn't want to see the young couple become strangers or even enemies.
“…Old Wei, Wanqing only achieved some success because of money.”
"Jingxi is more reliable. He is talented and well-educated. He will definitely inherit your legacy."
After enduring it again and again, Father Gu still stood beside Principal Wei and spoke in a low voice.
Principal Wei: ...
This old man, does he really think I am a superficial person? He also looked down on Jingxi.
However, Principal Wei also knew that Mr. Gu had good intentions and was worried about the young couple.
"Jingxi is of course very outstanding, otherwise, he wouldn't have such an outstanding wife like Wanqing."
As one of the earliest senior people to open his eyes to the world, Principal Wei is not only well-versed in both Chinese and Western culture, but also has open and advanced ideas.
Although he has not yet reached the level of women's liberation, he will not belittle women.
In his opinion, his daughter-in-law is excellent, which in itself is proof of his son's excellence.
Is it necessary for a ridiculous self-esteem that he must marry a daughter-in-law who is inferior to his son in appearance, family background, and talent? Must he degrade his wife to the dust in order to prove his excellence?
Principal Wei believes in his son, and both he and his son are rational physicists - Gu Wanqing's excellence is a fact, and they recognize and respect the fact!
After hearing what Principal Wei said, Father Gu felt relieved.
At least, my daughter's father-in-law is an open-minded and reasonable man.
Next, it depends on the attitude of the son-in-law.
Wei Jingxi: ...
What attitude can I have? Of course my heart and eyes are filled with only my fiancée.
As for the saying that women are strong and men are weak? No, Wei Jingxi does not think that he is not good enough.
He and Wanqing just have their own strengths.
He will not feel inferior or jealous, he will only love her wholeheartedly.
Furthermore, in addition to love, Wei Jingxi also had the great ambition of revitalizing China and saving the country through science.
His world is big and he has a lot to do.
Not only will his wife not become a burden to him, but she will always help him.
...There are too many reasons why Wei Jingxi would not have any inexplicable thoughts.
…
After leaving the dock, we went to Tianjin first.
In a big hotel in Tianjin, the Gu and Wei families held a grand welcoming banquet.
Originally, Father Gu and Principal Wei did not intend to be so ostentatious, but the government, the military, etc. had sent representatives, and celebrities from the literary and educational circles in Beijing and Tianjin had also gathered here. Even if it was for the purpose of expressing gratitude, they had to entertain them properly.
However, after the noise, politicians and celebrities took their positions one after another, and only relatives and close friends of the Gu and Wei families remained at the big round table.
Father Gu looked at Principal Wei, and Principal Wei nodded slightly.
So, Father Gu asked, "Jingxi, Wanqing, do you have any plans after returning home?"
Wei Jingxi quickly put down his chopsticks, sat up straight, glanced at Gu Qingcheng, and then replied respectfully: "Father-in-law! Father! I have discussed it with Wanqing."
"I will continue to set up the laboratory, and Wanqing will prepare to start a school."
Gu Qingcheng also sat up straight, and after Wei Jingxi finished speaking, she nodded slightly.
It seems that this is really the decision made by the young couple.
Father Gu and Principal Wei exchanged glances.
The two old fathers were not surprised by Wei Jingxi's decision.
Since Wei Jingxi studied physics, and Gu Wanqing helped him get a lot of equipment and materials, it was entirely possible to build a physics laboratory in the country.
However, "Gu Wanqing's" decision was somewhat unexpected to the elders.
"Open a school?"
Gu's father was a great writer and a visiting professor at several universities in Beijing.
Not to mention President Wei, he is the president of the university himself.
Both families are engaged in education, and the daughter (daughter-in-law) also runs a school, which can definitely be considered as "inheritance."
only--
"In fact, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. It's better to just become a teacher than to start a school from scratch."
"You studied architecture and got a diploma in finance. I heard that you also studied physics with Jingxi?"
Father Gu pondered for a moment and made a suggestion: "Why don't you just come to Peking University? Shuimu is fine. You can be a teacher in the Department of Architecture or the Department of Finance."
Principal Wei also nodded slightly.
The two old fathers’ meaning is very clear: good things should be kept within the family.
Gu Qingcheng blinked and suddenly smiled, "Dad, father, do you want me to be a teacher or the God of Wealth?"
Although she has been in the Ugly Country in recent years, she has heard a lot about the situation in the country.
For example, universities in Beijing are always owed funding.
Teachers’ salaries cannot be paid and students’ subsidies are deducted every year.
The warlords would also use this as a threat to prevent students from participating in the movement.
Some schools simply suspended classes.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Teachers have to eat and support their families, while students are full of enthusiasm and will fight even if they are hungry.
This has become a dead end.
Father Gu, Principal Wei and other senior colleagues who are dedicated to education and students are running around but are caught in a dilemma.
They cannot suppress the students' patriotic enthusiasm, and therefore cannot obtain funding from the government.
Without money...it's really hard to move forward.
Father Gu and Principal Wei really couldn't bear to see students waste their studies because of these reasons.
They are the pillars of the country and the hope of the future.
Coincidentally, my daughter (daughter-in-law) transferred to study finance and seems to be quite talented.
Even the media in the United States praised her as the "Magical Oriental Witch". Well, witch is really not a nice word.
But, on the other hand, this also proves that my daughter (daughter-in-law) has the Midas touch.
Especially in the past year, the talents and materials that Principal Wei has received have further confirmed this point.
Gu Wanqing is rich! She has a big picture view and is willing to support domestic education! That's good.
Without any prior discussion, Mr. Gu and Principal Wei reached a consensus on this point: they must invite the God of Wealth to the campus.
Let her be a professor, or even give her the honor of vice-president.
...With status and honor, she would not just watch the school suspend classes due to lack of money.
However, this kind of thing is better to see it than to speak out.
Both Mr. Gu and Principal Wei are scholars, and possess the noble character that is unique to men of letters.
Always talking about money?
It's not very decent.
In the end, his daughter (daughter-in-law) still exposed his true feelings in front of them, and the two old fathers couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
Father Gu was even more "angry and embarrassed", and glared at him, "What? You don't want to?"
Gu Qingcheng quickly shrank her neck, not daring to show the arrogance of her financial sponsor.
She smiled from the bottom of her heart, and said obediently and timidly: "I am willing! Even if I don't have the great heart to serve the country and the people, I will help my two fathers solve their problems."
Seeing Gu Qingcheng acting so funny, Wei Jingxi couldn't help but smile dotingly.
In order to prevent the two fathers from misunderstanding, he quickly took over the conversation and explained for Gu Qingcheng: "Father-in-law, father, when we were in Ugly Country, we knew the situation in the country."
"Wanqing and I are very worried. The university cannot suspend classes, especially not because of money."
"So, we have already discussed it. Wanqing will take out a sum of money to set up a fund specifically for supporting domestic education."
"In addition to subsidizing several universities, Wan Qing will also set up primary schools that provide free education. In addition, it will also sponsor some students to study abroad in the Ugly Country and the Corrupt Country!"
Wei Jingxi is not good at speaking and is a science guy who is a bit of a homebody.
However, since this matter concerns domestic education and even more so his fiancée's career, Wei Jingxi was able to speak so freely and eloquently.
Upon hearing this, Father Gu and Principal Wei looked at each other.
[Old Wei, the kids already had a plan? ]
[Old Gu, you are worthy of being the children we watched grow up. They all have a patriotic heart. ]
Establish a fund to support education.
And it is not just limited to higher education, but also includes the most basic literacy.
It cannot be said that everything is covered, but the most important core points are taken into account.
Even these two old seniors who have been teaching for half their lives may not be able to think so thoroughly.
Well, it’s not that the two elders can’t think of it, but they can’t do it - they don’t have money! Running a school and subsidizing international students both require money.
Although the professor's salary is very high, the two old fathers also have other income. In today's society, they are definitely considered high-income people.
But, their expenses are also high.
In addition to supporting their families, they also sponsor students.
…The more you are in it, the more you understand how difficult it is.
The more I understand, the more valuable Gu Qingcheng's decisions are!
"Good! Very good!"
Father Gu’s old face was flushed with excitement.
The look he gave Gu Qingcheng was filled with satisfaction, pride, and honor.
As expected of the daughter of my Gu family, even though she is just a woman, she can still save the country and the people...
