Chapter 956: The Princess’s Transformation

“Why are young people like this nowadays? The world is really degenerating.”

“I remember when I was young, I didn’t even have a seat when I attended lectures. I could only stand in the last row by the wall. I still felt that it was a great honor. I’m not like the people now. Tsk tsk.”

Before the exchange began, everyone was whispering behind her, and their voices reached Xia Wanyuan’s ears.

Principal Yang frowned. As the organizer, he could not say much to these teachers who had come from afar. He could only turn around and comfort Xia Wanyuan. “Wanyuan, don’t take it to heart. These old scholars are very sour.”

Xia Wanyuan smiled. “Principal, I don’t mind these words.”

The meeting finally began. This meeting was mainly to discuss the update of the school materials.

In order to ensure that the university’s teaching materials improved with the times, they would gather experts and professors from all over the country every year to discuss.

Knowledge was being updated, and there might be mistakes in the content of the past textbooks. Everyone discussed item by item, and the meeting room was in full swing.

Xia Wanyuan listened to everyone’s discussion seriously and felt that she had learned a lot.

“Wanyuan, what do you think?” When they encountered a problem that they could not convince the other party, they subconsciously asked Xia Wanyuan.

…

“Teacher Zhang, do you still need to ask a person who has been fired and doesn’t even have a job title?” The teacher from Nancheng University looked at Xia Wanyuan disdainfully.

Nancheng University and Qing Datong were the top universities in China. Qing University specialized in science and could be said to be the engine of China’s industrial talents. Nancheng University, which was located in Jiangnan, had always been good at literature and had produced many masters.

The two universities faced each other in the north and south. Neither had ever submitted to the other.

“Teacher Lin, what are you saying? Although Wanyuan doesn’t have a professional title, she’s knowledgeable and talented. The ancient people even said that there must be a teacher within three people.” Professor Zhang rolled his eyes in his heart.

Nancheng University had always been arrogant because of their advantage in humanities. Every time they interacted, they would put on a high and mighty appearance. The teachers of Qing University smiled, but they were actually annoyed by these people in their hearts.

“For so many years, everyone has been wondering. You said that the science department of Qing University is leading in the country, but the humanities department is like a sprained ankle. From the looks of it, if Qing University wants to improve the humanities department as soon as possible, but you still have to raise the selection standards of professors.”

Professor Lin Yu’s words not only mocked Xia Wanyuan, but also scolded the professors of Qing University.

The reason why the liberal arts major of Qing University was bad was because the standards for professors were low. Didn’t that mean that the standards of the liberal arts teachers of Qing University were also bad?

The teachers of the Qing University were furious, but everyone present was a scholar who wanted face. They still smiled and communicated with each other.

Because of Professor Lin’s words, in the meeting later, everyone spoke with a gun and stick.

Scholars did not scold each other directly. They used all sorts of allusions and insinuations. They were so angry that their faces and necks were red. They even smiled and spoke softly.

Xia Wanyuan listened attentively to the professional knowledge in the first half of the meeting, while she watched the teachers secretly compete in amusement in the second half.

“That’s all for today’s meeting.”

Finally, it was time to get off work. The teachers, who had been arguing for a long time, temporarily calmed the war.

“Everyone, please follow the staff to the restaurant. The Qing University has already prepared a hotel room for everyone.”

As soon as Principal Yang finished speaking, the staff led the teachers from Nancheng University out of the meeting room.

Not only did Qing University and Nancheng University compete in academics, but they also had to compare in other aspects. For example, this time, when they received the delegation from Nancheng University, Qing University gave them an extremely high reception standard, afraid that Nancheng University did not know that they were rich and imposing.

The amount that the country allocated to Nancheng University every year was similar to that of Qing University, and the reception level of Nancheng University was not low. However, when the delegation from Nancheng University arrived at the villa area that Qing University had prepared for them, they were still stunned.

“Don’t tell me the Qing University’s budget is used to do these superficial projects?” Lin Yu looked at these villas sourly. People in academia should be willing to be poor. Doing, these fancy things, it’s no wonder the Qing University produced some dull people who only knew science.

“Professor Lin, you must be joking.” Professor Zhang chuckled. “These villas were prepared for everyone by our school’s Professor Xia. Originally, the school prepared hotels for everyone, but after Professor Xia heard about it, she automatically contributed these villas as a place for the teachers to stay for the exchange.”

Lin Yu frowned. “Professor Xia? The wife of that copper-smelling businessman?”

Professor Zhang’s expression darkened. “Professor Lin, your words are a little disrespectful.”

Lin Yu pursed his lips pointlessly. “As academics, we should be willing to be poor and not be confused by external things. If we only want to enjoy ourselves every day, how can we have the mood to study and nurture people? I won’t live in this house. We have subsidies for business trips, and I strictly follow them.”

As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

The remaining teachers of Nancheng University also left. Even if a small portion of them wanted to stay in the villa, after Lin Yu’s words, they could not show their thoughts and left with Lin Yu.

“Professor Zhang, this?” The staff looked at each other and finally looked at Professor Zhang.

“Who cares about them?” Professor Zhang could not be bothered to chase after them. “Since they want to stay in a hotel, let them be. What’s wrong with being rich? They’re really pedantic.”

At the school entrance, Xia Wanyuan stood by the roadside and waited for Jun Shiling to come over.

“Are you cold?” Jun Shiling could finally get out of the car openly to pick Xia Wanyuan up. With a smile in his eyes, he pulled Xia Wanyuan’s hand over.

“I’m fine. Let’s go,” Xia Wanyuan said as she leaned against Jun Shiling. Beside Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan had always been boneless.

Just as the two of them were about to get into the car, a timid voice suddenly came from behind.

“Brother, Sister, can you lend me a dollar?”
