Official career: From director to secretary, I want to improve myself

Chapter 180 Find an economics teacher!

Professor Shen is a connoisseur and knows how valuable this booklet is, so he doesn't want it!

A booklet like this would be very popular if you took it out, and its value is inestimable.

He really couldn't bear such a great gift.

"Teacher, this is something our old man chose especially for you. He gave it to me because he knew you were a law professor. I've received so much care from you, and according to ancient tradition, a disciple should provide for you until the end of your life! You can't refuse this small gift."

"No, no, this is too valuable, I can't accept it!"

Their words also attracted the attention of others, but no one said anything.

Professor Shen has his own persistence, and no one else, not even his partner and children, will interfere with his decision at this time!

Jiang Yuan had anticipated Professor Shen's reaction!

The old professor did not like to accept gifts from others. Jiang Yuan accepted some local specialties from the places where he worked or was on business trips as a token of his disciple's appreciation.

Not worth the money, more of a food or a souvenir.

Today's booklet is different. In terms of market value, it is indeed valuable! But in the end, it is still just a manuscript.

"Teacher, no one in my family studies this field. My future isn't in this direction. The old man has kept this book for so long, so he definitely won't sell it. In my opinion, this is just a manuscript book. It will only be valuable in the right hands."

"At the end of the day, it's just a few pieces of paper. It's just that the people who use it are special."

"That's nonsense! How can the chamber pot used by Emperor Qianlong be the same as an ordinary chamber pot?!"

Professor Shen retorted, and then both of them laughed.

"So, teacher. Only those who appreciate Qianlong's chamber pot will buy it. This booklet is also a chamber pot in our family. It's useless no matter where you put it. Only by giving it to you can it be put to the greatest use. If you really can't, you can accept it first and donate it to a museum!"

"Anyway, this is for you. I won't take it back. Even if I do, my old man won't want it. He'll definitely give it to you next time he visits you in person."

"So, you should accept it!"

Jiang Yuan spoke earnestly and with a firm attitude, and Professor Shen understood that it seemed he could not refuse.

If the grandfather really came to visit and gave this to me, that would be really bad!

"Okay, I'll take this booklet. When I die, I'll donate it to a museum so everyone can study it!"

Professor Shen himself also liked this booklet very much, and Jiang Yuan's attitude was so firm. No matter what, it represented Jiang Yuan's filial piety and the Jiang family's gratitude, so he really couldn't refuse.

I simply accepted it, which can be regarded as protecting this precious heritage for the country.

After all, the things he donated were not as important as those donated by others to the museum, and he himself had heard that there were some loopholes in the management of these museums...

Don't say too much.

Professor Shen agreed, and Jiang Yuan was delighted and quickly handed over the booklet.

"Alright, alright, you two are acting like this just to send something. Someone who doesn't know would think we're trading something special!"

Grandma Lin came forward and said in amazement.

"Hahaha, alright. Today is a good day, let's have lunch!"

Professor Shen changed the subject, and then the whole family sat together and had a reunion dinner.

After dinner, Jiang Yuan helped clean up and was then called to Professor Shen’s study.

Shen Lang was also in the study.

"Remember what I told you, that if you come over here I'll give you a big surprise, right?"

"Remember, teacher, what are you doing?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Shen Lang who was standing beside him. Normally, Shen Lang would not be there when he was talking to his teacher.

The two people talked about things either in the officialdom or in law, which had nothing to do with his economics, and Shen Lang didn't want to listen, so he would leave on his own.

"Don't look at him, this matter really is related to him. Didn't you say before that you wanted to find an economics professor to study with? Professors have very high requirements, especially for someone like you who has no basic knowledge! So, I asked around and no one was willing to help."

"There are a few professors who would like to mentor you, but their reputations aren't very good, so I declined. They just want to use your resources to facilitate their research."

Professor Shen talked about something he had asked Jiang Yuan some time ago.

Jiang Yuan wants to strengthen his research in economics. As a teacher, he is very supportive. Learning never ends and one should keep learning until the end of his life.

Therefore, Professor Shen always kept it in mind and also helped Jiang Yuan ask many people in the circle.

From the academic circle of Yenching to the academic circle of universities near the capital, and finally to Shanghai City in the south!

Many people ask, and many are rejected.

The reason has been explained before, not to mention that Jiang Yuan still has his own position, and it is not low. Some professors do care more about the amount of students' time.

There are many graduate students who are ready to be called upon at any time, and it doesn't have to be Jiang Yuan.

"Thank you, teacher."

Jiang Yuan said gratefully.

Jiang Yuan was still very touched that Professor Shen had been helping him look for it for several months.

"Okay, don't be so polite. Now let's get down to business. After I asked, your brother said he had connections there, so I gave him a copy of your information."

"So, you've become rich, you're so lucky!"

"Your brother's doctoral advisor, Gu Changfeng, the dean of the School of Economics at Shanghai University of Economics and Business, said he'd like to take you on. Aren't you going to Shanghai in the next couple of days? Go visit him and confirm the matter."

"But you have to know your limits. This person holds a very high position and is quite influential in Shanghai's academic circles. He's not looking to take you on as his disciple! Your brother isn't even his disciple; they don't have that kind of thing over there. So, study what you need to study, and don't dwell on anything else!"

Jiang Yuan looked at Shen Lang and nodded.

Well, the academic circle in Shanghai is indeed more modern and open than that in the capital, and it focuses more on large-scale training rather than refinement.

"Teacher, don't worry. You don't even know who I am."

Jiang Yuan nodded and agreed. He had some idea in his mind.

However, this time the teacher was able to help him find a mentor in Shanghai, which was also a good breakthrough. By building good relationships with the circles in Shanghai, Jiang Yuan would have an advantage whether buying equipment for the two projects, importing equipment in the future, or selling products!

After all, Shanghai is the economic capital of the entire Republic and an important economic city in the world. Its economic activities will probably become more active after joining the WTO!

"Okay, my professor is pretty easy to get along with, but he's a bit strict. Even though you're a working graduate student, you still need to complete your supervisor's tasks."

Shen Lang shared his mentor's information with him.
