Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Jiangnan University has experienced significant personnel changes this year, with both the top two leaders being replaced.

The former principal became the party secretary.

The president of Shanghai University has been transferred to Jiangnan University as its president.

Both are academicians.

A leadership system has been established for 985 universities with two academicians.

A mid-tier 985 university suddenly emerged, and the title of "two academicians" still carries considerable value.

It is also the best way to promote Jiangnan University and its student recruitment.

The two academicians immediately began work on the centennial celebration after taking office.

This event is crucial to the development of Jiangnan University.

The connections and financial resources brought by distinguished alumni are exactly what Jiangnan University urgently needs right now.

When it came to drafting the guest list, the two academicians hit it off immediately and sent invitations to Jiang Beicheng and President Ren.

It's kind of like shamelessly begging for help.

After all, neither of them are alumni in the true sense.

One of them studied at Jiangnan Institute of Architectural Engineering, which was later merged into Jiangnan University.

Mr. Ren has never publicly admitted that he graduated from Jiangnan University.

The other one was pursuing an MBA, which wasn't even a full-time program.

Calling them alumni is even more of a stretch.

These two academicians are really daring to take a gamble.

Surprisingly, they won the bet.

Jiang Beicheng and President Ren both agreed to attend the centennial celebration of Jiangnan University.

After this school anniversary celebration, the school can legitimately use Jiangbei City and President Ren for publicity.

It's no exaggeration to say that with these two renowned alumni, Jiangnan University's influence and reputation have been elevated to a whole new level.

Perhaps its academic strength is not as good as Tsinghua University, Peking University, or other top universities, but its reputation is certainly not weak.

Huawei's value is self-evident.

This national-level entrepreneur from Jiangbei City is a new-era elite with immense social influence.

In the words of the teachers and students, he is a god!

Jiang Shen!

……

Jiang Beicheng arrived at Jiangnan University today, ahead of the previous administration.

The Maybach Pullman S680 was parked in front of the administration building, and the vice principal went over to help open the car door.

Jiang Beicheng got out of the car, and the two academicians greeted him with smiles.

Academician Wang (Secretary) warmly welcomed him, saying, "President Jiang, welcome back to your alma mater to participate in the anniversary celebration."

Jiang Beicheng and Academician Wang were quite familiar with each other; they had met several times when Wang was still the university president.

He also addressed him politely as "Academician Wang".

Academician Wang introduced, "President Jiang, this is Principal Liu."

"President Jiang, I've heard so much about you," Academician Liu greeted him politely.

Jiang Beicheng said, "The thing I hear most often lately is about universities with two academicians."

I've been wanting to come back and visit the two academicians for a while, and it just so happens that they're both here today.

Academician Liu, it's a pleasure to meet you.

To express one's respect for scientists.

Academician Liu is engaged in biomaterials research. As soon as he took office at Jiangnan University, many rumors began to circulate.

The goal is to revitalize the secondary colleges of Jiangnan University, such as the School of Medicine, the School of Life Sciences, and the School of Bioengineering.

Compared to other 985 universities, Jiangnan University is indeed not competitive in these fields.

The medical school, in particular, is arguably the biggest pain point for Jiangnan University.

During the nationwide reorganization of colleges and departments in 1952, the main faculty of the School of Medicine of Jiangnan University was merged into the then West China University, which later became West China University of Medical Sciences, and is now the West China Medical Center of Sichuan University.

Later, it was suppressed by Jiangnan Medical University and Military Medical University.

It wasn't until a few years ago, with the support of various parties, that the Jiangnan University School of Medicine was rebuilt.

Academician Liu's appointment as president of Jiangnan University is sure to make a big splash in the field of biomedicine.

That's why Jiangbei City prepared a "10 billion yuan gift package" to support the development of biomedicine at Jiangnan University.

If the two academicians knew about this gift, they would be speechless with excitement.

It was exactly what they wanted. After Jiang Beicheng greeted the school leaders and was about to move to the reception hall, President Ren's car arrived.

Academician Wang looked at Academician Liu.

The idea was to have Academician Liu take Jiang Beicheng to sit down and have tea first, while he would stay behind to greet President Ren.

It's not appropriate to have President Jiang waiting here.

But we can't refuse to give Mr. Ren face; at least one person should stay to greet him, right?

Academician Liu understood and invited Jiang Beicheng to move to the reception room.

Jiang Beicheng said, "I met with President Ren a couple of days ago."

Besides, the two academicians can't be biased!

I made a joke.

It means that when he was greeted, the top two leaders were there, and when President Ren was greeted, they should also be there.

It expresses not only politeness, but also a sense of respect for President Ren.

After listening, the two academicians smiled and nodded.

The truth is indeed this truth.

However, the two academicians considered things more carefully and hoped to take care of both Jiang Beicheng and President Ren, the two important guests.

Since Jiangbei City doesn't care, it's even easier for the two academicians to do their jobs.

A moment later, Mr. Ren's business car stopped in front of the administration building.

He got out of the car, and the two academicians greeted him warmly, just as they had greeted Jiang Beicheng.

"Mr. Jiang, please."

"Mr. Ren, please go ahead!"

When the two met again, they exchanged polite greetings with smiles.

They followed the school leaders to the reception room and took their seats.

Actually, it's more awkward to talk inside the house.

The school officials couldn't find many topics to discuss with them regarding the anniversary celebration.

Because the two of them weren't very familiar with Jiangnan University.

We can't exactly have these two alumni reminiscing about their time at Jiangnan University, can we?

We had no choice but to bite the bullet and discuss school-enterprise cooperation.

The school introduced its advantages.

Jiang Beicheng and President Ren were very respectful, listening patiently and communicating earnestly.

Having chosen to come here, I never intended to walk away unscathed.

We definitely need to give a token of our appreciation.

However, the two academicians only touched on the point briefly, otherwise the other party would feel that the school had too much ulterior motive.

Not suitable.

Discussing these topics is not appropriate for today's occasion.

Jiang Beicheng suddenly asked, "Did you have any delicacies from Jiangnan City yesterday, Mr. Ren?"

Mr. Ren said, "I went out for hot pot with Yu Chengdong and the others."

Jiang Beicheng said, "The noodles are not bad either."

My strongest impression of Jiangnan University is the noodles in the cafeteria.

Principal Liu immediately realized that Jiang Beicheng was throwing out a suggestion to get the school to offer some ideas, and promptly followed up on Jiang Beicheng's words, "President Jiang, President Ren, shall we go take a look around the cafeteria?"

The cafeteria is a place that evokes memories of the past, especially of one's youthful college days.

The excuse of going to the cafeteria was actually a tour of Jiangnan University as it stands today.

Mr. Ren, of course, understood what Jiang Beicheng and the school leaders meant, and replied with a smile: "Mr. Jiang is known as the godfather of the domestic catering industry, and Beicheng Restaurant is the pinnacle of the industry. His recommendation is worth checking out."

Everyone laughed.

I didn't expect Mr. Ren to be so fashionable at his age, using a popular internet phrase.

However, the atmosphere was much more relaxed during the exchange.

"President Jiang, President Ren, I'll be your tour guide today," Academician Liu said with a smile.

Academician Wang remained in the administration building to continue greeting other alumni, leaders at all levels, and leaders from other universities.

At this time of day, it's still peak breakfast time, especially since many colleges haven't started classes due to the school anniversary celebrations, so the cafeterias are still very crowded.

The teachers and students never expected to see the "God of Rivers" they always boasted about in the cafeteria! (End of Chapter)
