Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 523 Brigade Commander? No, Principal!

It's no wonder that Ximen Lang was so excited. After all, this was a brigade commander. While Li Yunlong was still carrying his old rifle, he was already carrying the dignified and charismatic brigade commander that even a bald man couldn't resist!
Who wouldn't be confused after seeing this?

In any case, Ximen Lang was completely unable to resist the brigade commander's charm. From meeting to recognizing him, it only took a few seconds. In just a few seconds, Ximen Lang immediately transformed into the most loyal little fanboy, like a lovesick fool, holding the brigade commander's hand and refusing to let go.

That guy was shaking it really hard!

While rocking, he couldn't help but sigh.

"He's alive! I've finally met the brigade commander in person! No, I should say the principal! I've finally met the principal in person! Greetings, Principal!"

That's why they say Ximen Lang is such a greenhorn. Originally, seeing Ximen Lang come straight to him, the principal was even planning to test him with words, to see if Ximen Lang, like Gao Cheng, also had a special connection with him.

I'd like to build a good relationship with him and maybe get some benefits for his school, which is always having a tough start.

But seeing how reckless this kid was, the principal quickly swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

They flattered him completely, knowing that Ximen Lang liked to hear nice things, and went along with the conversation, praising Ximen.

"This must be young Master Ximen. Hello, hello. I've heard that a kind and talented young man has come to Beijing. Now that I see him, he is indeed a handsome and capable man! What, from what you're saying, you know me?"

Simon already idolized the principal, and now he was being praised like this.
It's no exaggeration to say that its tail is practically wagging in the air!

Without the principal even needing to probe him, Simon revealed all his secrets on his own.

"It's more than just knowing each other! Seriously, I was just a hair's breadth away from becoming your student back then, only about 300 points short. Looking back now, it's such a damn shame! Why didn't I try a little harder back then? If I had just put in a little more effort..."

Okay, even if Simon tries his best, the score still won't be enough.

After all, it's not just a difference of ten or twenty points. With a little effort and attention, it'll be over soon.

That's a difference of about 300 points!
The total score was only 750 points, but Simon was more than 300 points behind!

That "many" is probably way too much!
This guy is such a terrible student!

Absolutely the worst of the worst!

To think you can apply to the principal's school is truly wishful thinking!

Ximen Lang also realized that he was being delusional, just thinking about wishful thinking.

Just then, the principal was right in front of him, and Simon immediately spoke up.

"Principal, could you please lower the score a bit? Don't set it so high, it's too high! Even if you work me to death, I still won't pass! Lower it, or if all else fails, make an exception for me in a single subject. As long as I can get in, I'll donate two buildings! And all kinds of teaching materials, however much you need, I'll give you!"

Originally, when Ximen came, he either wanted to lower the score or to use connections. The principal even tried to bring up the issue of principles, saying that this was a matter of principle, that the score couldn't be lowered so easily, and that connections couldn't be opened so easily.

But when he heard that Ximen was willing to donate two buildings and all kinds of teaching materials, he was surprised to hear that he could give as much as needed!

in principle?

What principle?
What principles should we follow?
Good comrades like Ximen Lai, who are wholeheartedly dedicated to the prosperity of the country and the development of education, should not be constrained by these rules and regulations.

The principal immediately grasped Simon's hand and made a promise.

"Hey, what's with all this talk about buildings? We're all comrades, why be so formal? Just come whenever you want, I welcome you anytime, I'll even give you a special class!" Ximen Lang was so excited he could hardly contain himself. Then, changing the subject, the principal continued.

"Of course, on the other hand, the school is in its early stages and is indeed facing many problems. Materially, it's easy to deal with; we've all come from hard times, and we can overcome them."

"But the lack of qualified teachers is a serious problem! Especially in specialized fields like ballistics, aerodynamics, and launch dynamics, the shortage of experts is extreme. I'm not kidding, because of this lack of experts, teaching is almost impossible to continue."

In fact, the reason why these disciplines are so lacking in experts is closely related to Simon Lang.

That's right, it's that ongoing and enthusiastic exchange and learning program between the two worlds.

Originally, there was a severe shortage of professionals in Beijing.

Now, in order to broaden the horizons of these already scarce professionals and enable them to learn more specialized and comprehensive knowledge in future generations, a group of experts has been squeezed out from the already limited pool and sent there.

This has led to an even greater shortage of staff in several professions that were already facing severe staff shortages.

There was no other way; the principal had to humble himself and try to break through with his old comrade-in-arms, Lao Luo.

The result, of course, was far from ideal.

Because they are old comrades-in-arms, they know each other better than the worms in each other's stomachs.

The principal had barely begun to explain his point when Lao Luo angrily rebuked him.

The principal was about to give up when Simon Lang arrived.

this.
I'm so sorry.

Through a combination of coaxing and deception, Ximen Lang was completely under the principal's control.

"So you're just short of people? No problem! I can't speak for other places, but I have plenty of professionals here! I'm not exaggerating, I have hundreds of experts from key disciplines at top universities!"

"Take Gao Cheng for example, he graduated from West Point! Although he doesn't have much to do with ballistics or anything like that, when it comes to command, he's absolutely top-notch! He can handle everything from strategy, operations, tactics, military command, military operations research, to military equipment!"

"He's a top-tier beast! Add to that his hardworking and resilient spirit, and he's practically the undisputed king of beasts, a divine beast body! Just use him freely, feed him a few handfuls of grass, and he'll be completely silent!"

"It's so easy to use!"

"What do you think?! Let me tell you, every single one of these people is like an old ox, doing whatever they're told. They eat grass but produce milk, and each one is more useful than the last!"

"And then there are ballistics, launch dynamics, and other specialized subjects. Although Gao Cheng didn't graduate from these fields, we have people here who did! Their expertise is top-notch, and they'll definitely be able to handle the teaching work!"

"You have a lot of influence, so they definitely won't refuse if you just ask. Once you bring people along, the teaching staff will be sufficient, right?"

"Makes sense!"

The two were having a great time chatting.

Seeing that Ximen Lang was truly heartless in selling his family's land, Lao Luo stood up and protested loudly.

"I disagree!"
