    That afternoon, Sun Yuanqi, accompanied by Mr. Hof, came to the principal¡¯s office.

    Yale University has neither a large administrative staff separated from teaching nor a dedicated administrative building.  If you ask the president of this world-famous and wealthy university where he works, people will tell you that the president's office is in the shortest and most inconspicuous building.  If it weren't for Mr. Hof's company, Sun Yuanqi would have been unable to find a place for a while.

    But when they walked into the office, there were already four people in the room. The person sitting behind the president's desk was naturally the protagonist of this visit, President Smith McCall of Yale University.  The person sitting at the end of the table, whom Sun Yuanqi had met, was Mr. Mace Gerald, who was responsible for paying the bill before.

    After meeting and shaking hands, I found out that one of them was Mr. Sam Peck, the official president of the Yale University Alumni Association, and the other was Professor Elijah Newman, the president of the Yale University Professors Association.

    Why does the chairman of the Professors Association appear in this place?  This is related to Yale¡¯s management characteristics of ¡°professors run the school¡±.  This feature has had a huge impact on American higher education.  In the early days of the school's founding, through the efforts of three generations of presidents, Yale gradually formed a rule that the board of directors would not be specifically involved in school management and that the professors would govern the school.  There was a popular saying in the United States at that time: "The directors of Princeton are in charge, the president of Harvard is in charge, and the professors at Yale call the shots."

    Because professors have positions and powers, they are particularly concerned about the interests of students, attach great importance to the reputation of the college, and have very strict requirements on teaching quality.  At the same time, it gave the school a strong sense of independence, so much so that the non-resident system of the school board and the off-campus system of power agencies pioneered by Yale were adopted by many universities that were later established.

    Since professors play an important role at Yale, the quality of the teachers themselves must of course be very high, and teachers at Yale need to be rigorously selected.  Teachers are extremely knowledgeable and students admire them very much; but because they have very strict requirements on students, students also respect teachers and privately give those strict teachers many vivid nicknames.  But Yale students are very lucky. They can receive personal teaching from well-respected teachers very early. This is one of the reasons for the high quality of Yale students.

    Of course, Sun Yuanqi did not think of this.  Not long after they sat down, Principal McCall, who has a scholarly air, stepped directly into the topic. You must know that letting these Americans learn the hard work of Chinese officialdom is no less difficult than teaching a sow to climb a tree; it may even be possible for the sow to climb a tree.  Already climbing the tree, they haven't learned yet.

    " Yank, you have done a lot of pioneering work at the forefront of physics, chemistry and other natural sciences, and have achieved a series of outstanding results. It can be said that you are the best graduate of Yale University in recent years.  Your research results have also effectively corrected the misunderstanding in society about Yale's emphasis on literature and science. In fact, the school has been committed to changing the research status of natural sciences and engineering sciences. The alumni association has also provided funds and manpower.  With a lot of support, I hope to reach advanced levels in some subjects.¡±

    Sun Yuanqi naturally knew the elegant meaning of Xiange after hearing it, but it was difficult to say anything. He could only smile and nod frequently.

    As the most vocal figure at Yale University, Professor Elijah Newman, Chairman of the Professors Association, spoke up: "Yanke, after discussion at our joint meeting of professors, I think you are one of the best young scientists in the world today, and  Yale University is also determined to make a difference in some fields of natural sciences, and if you can stay and work at Yale, the school will set up special professorships for this purpose."

    Mr. Sam Pike, the official president of the Yale University Alumni Association, also went on to say: "At the same time, the Alumni Association will invest US$100,000 to build a special laboratory for you to conduct independent academic research."

    Sun Yuanqi took a deep breath: Is this the so-called "cooperation"?  Are the conditions too generous?  It was almost impossible to refuse.  After weighing it for a long time, he replied: "First of all, I would like to thank my alma mater Yale and the alumni association for taking me seriously. Secondly, as a graduate of Yale, I very much hope to serve Yale University. But I myself founded a school in China  , which is iprt, and serves as the principal of the school. So, I am very sorry, I think I cannot take up the teaching position provided by my alma mater!"

    Having said this, the other five people in the conference room had a look of disappointment on their faces.  President McCall shrugged and said: "Many of our Yale graduates are actively engaged in education and have become the founders or first presidents of many famous universities, such as Princeton University, Cornell University, John Hopkins University, etc.  St. John's University, Columbia University, University of Chicago, etc., dedicated the title of 'Mother of American Colleges' to their alma maters. Now, Yank's name has to be added."

    Sun Yuanqi decided to sell his idea: "ForThe graduation rate within four years of enrollment is 92% (ranked third in the United States).  During the long winter in the northeastern United States, on boring campuses and under heavy academic pressure, some students fell into a low ebb and had a mixture of love and hate for school.  "I hate this damn place" is said to be the most common saying among MIT students.

    Sun Yuanqi knew nothing about Boston, so before getting on the bus, Sun Yuanqi sent a telegram to mit, hoping that someone could pick him up.

    It was already dusk when we arrived in Boston.  Sun Yuanqi was greeted at the train station by, in addition to Professor Luo Xi, whom he had met before, there were several people whom he did not know very well.  After shaking hands, I learned that in addition to Professor Rossi coming as a representative of the School of Science, there were also two professors from the School of Engineering and the School of Natural Sciences, as well as a vice president.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There are also a bunch of pretty girls gathered around, whispering, pointing at ourselves from time to time, or covering our mouths and laughing softly, looking like children.  When Sun Yuanqi looked over, one of the girls was dancing and waving to him excitedly.  Oh, it turns out to be Professor Rossi¡¯s daughter Elena.  It's just that I am surrounded by these professors and it's hard to go over to see them.  Sun Yuanqi smiled and bowed slightly to them to express his greetings to them.

    Because it was already late, Professor Rossi, as an acquaintance, walked out and roughly introduced the arrangements for the next few days: "Yanke, you just arrived in Boston today and need a rest, so we have prepared an apartment on campus.  Tomorrow afternoon, we will go to the apartment to discuss arrangements with you for the next period of time. By the way, there will be a welcome dinner tomorrow night, I hope you can attend."

    But the girls followed the crowd at a distance, watching Sun Yuanqi get into the carriage and speed away accompanied by a group of people, their voices suddenly rose an octave.

    Elena lectured Lilith arrogantly: "Hahahaha¡ª¡ª, how about it, Lilith? Isn't Professor Johnson very young and very handsome?"

    Lilith seemed to have not heard Elena's sarcasm, and looked obsessed: "Handsome! He is so handsome! When he smiled at me just now, my heart skipped a beat! Oh my God, I will not fall in love with him.  Right? - By the way, he just smiled at me, does he like me too? If so, I don't mind marrying a Chinese, but what if my parents object?"

    Looking at Lilith¡¯s nymphomaniac look, Elena said disdainfully: ¡°Lilith, stop daydreaming! I¡¯m telling you, this! No! It¡¯s possible!¡±

    The youngest girl tugged on Vera¡¯s sleeves: ¡°Sister Vera, is Lilith okay?¡±

    Vera gently patted the little girl¡¯s cheek and said with a smile: ¡°Nina, don¡¯t worry, Lilith just suffered a little irritation and she will be fine after a while.¡±

    "However, that Professor Johnson is indeed pretty! Isn't it, Sister Vera?" Nina tilted her head, as if recalling the scene of their meeting just now.

    "Yes." Vera nodded, "But first of all he is an excellent scientist."

    "By the way, Ella, our Yank is not married yet, right? But I have heard that Chinese men can marry many wives. If he is willing, I wouldn't mind sharing them with other women. Oh, there will still be  For those who mind, monopoly is indeed the best!" Suddenly, Lilith slapped her face and said to Elena seriously: "Dear Ella, I heard that Professor Yank's apartment was arranged by Professor Rossi. You  You should know where it is, right?"

    Like a frightened cat, Elena jumped to the side and looked at her warily: "Lilith, what are your intentions?"

    Lilith looked shy: "I want to pay a visit¡ª¡ª"

    "Lilith, I tell you very solemnly: first, I don't know Professor Johnson's address; second, even if I knew it, I wouldn't tell you!" Elena's voice was filled with anger, "  I think I made a terrible mistake and I never should have brought you to the train station!¡±

    "Dear Ella, I was wrong, why not?" Lilith is an actress who is definitely capable of winning the Oscar. Seeing that the situation was not going well, she immediately changed into a pitiful look, "I, I will treat you to chocolate.  ! As long as Ella takes me to see Yank"

    "Dream!" Elena said through gritted teeth.

    Nina didn¡¯t care. When she heard there was chocolate to eat, she jumped up with joy: ¡°Lilith, I want to eat Godiva chocolate!¡±

    After hearing this sentence, she gritted her teeth and immediately turned into Lilith.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
