Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

At noon, the three of them had hotpot at Jinglaishun. Shen Jiaxing not only ordered beef and mutton, but also homemade shrimp balls, tripe, mutton offal, tofu, mixed noodles, cabbage, vermicelli, and black fungus.

There was not enough space for a table, so he asked the waiter to set up a shelf in the box.

Gao Caixue eats as much as he can without any care in the world.

Shen Jiaxing and Professor Zhang ate some meat and drank some wine.

"I see that Jiaxing has become not only whiter but also fatter. I guess he is living well in Shanghai."

Professor Zhang joked with a smile.

Shen Jiaxing narrowed his eyes and used a serving chopstick to pick up two pieces of mutton for Professor Zhang. "I'm sorry to make you laugh at me. I teach at Aurora University. Although I have a lot of teaching qualifications, it's not as famous as Peking University."

Dezhong is Professor Zhang’s name!

Professor Zhang waved his hands and advised: "Don't think like that. Cultural people also need to eat."

Shen Jiaxing filled his glass for him, "Is Professor Zhang still renting a house in Qianduju?"

Professor Zhang nodded. "The living environment before was pretty good, the rent was not expensive, and it was quite comfortable to live there."

Shen Jiaxing: "You have been teaching for quite a while, have you ever thought about buying a house?"

Professor Zhang shook his head and said, "I have parents to take care of in my hometown. Besides, when the Qing government sent me to study abroad, my fellow villagers gave me money. I paid for the private school to give back to them."

"To be honest, I don't have much left from my monthly salary."

At this time Gao Caixue interjected, "Otherwise, Lao Zhang wouldn't have waited until this age and still not married."

Professor Zhang smiled and said, "You are so talented, how can you say that? I don't want to marry a wife, but it has nothing to do with money. There are many villagers who are willing to marry their daughters to me."

Gao Caixue: "Then why don't you get married?"

Seeing that he was speaking so tactlessly, Shen Jiaxing quickly asked, "Why don't you get married?"

Gao Caixue pointed at his nose and shouted, "Me? I'm busy entering the bridal chamber every day and don't have time to get married!"

Professor Zhang laughed at him, "You are so talented, you are talking nonsense again."

Shen Jiaxing also looked at him with a smile.

Gao Caixue felt that he was being looked down upon, and immediately said, "You are a Peking University professor, but you have never heard that: reading a new book is like a wedding night, and reviewing an old book is like meeting an old friend in a foreign land?"

"There are so many books in the library. I can read a new book every day. How can I find time to get married?"

Shen Jiaxing: "Where does this heresy come from?"

Gao Caixue asked back, "Why are you saying that something you haven't heard of is heresy? How can you be so overbearing?"

Professor Zhang quickly tried to smooth things over, "Okay, okay, Jiaxing and I are not right, and you are right, okay?"

Gao Caixue looked at the two of them with disdain and continued to eat hard.

Humph! When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain his reasoning. They are not my students, so I have no obligation to teach them!

Gao Caixue used the method of spiritual victory and perfectly pushed himself to the top of the pyramid!

When the three of them had almost finished eating, Shen Jiaxing poured wine for Professor Zhang while asking, "Professor Zhang, have you ever thought about teaching in Shanghai? I have some businesses there, and I can arrange accommodation for you and find you some work."

"In general, it's a win-win situation to increase income and reduce expenditure. If you have a little surplus, you can also treat yourself better in terms of food and clothing."

Among the three, only Professor Zhang wore an old gown, which was enough to show that he was not financially well-off.

Professor Zhang paused holding the wine glass, hesitated for a moment, and then put it into his mouth, "Shanghai is too far from home."

Gao Caixue said with a look of disdain: "Lao Zhang, have you really studied abroad?"

"You are already this old, but you still can't leave home. I was so young when I went out. I thought it didn't scare you, did it?"

No matter how well-educated Professor Zhang is, he couldn't help but ask, "You are so talented, why didn't you go abroad to study? Is it because your grades are too bad? Your family is too poor? Or do you just not want to go?"

A series of questions were thrown directly at Gao Caixue's face.

He touched his nose twice in embarrassment, "Hey! Lao Zhang, don't be angry! I'm a little drunk."

Shen Jiaxing looked at him unhappily, "Can you stop lying with your eyes open?"

"You can't drink, and I didn't even give you a glass of wine today. How did you get the head?!"

Professor Zhang, who had a serious face, laughed, "Okay, Jiaxing, let's not argue with the talented."

"He's talking nonsense again."

In the afternoon, Shen Jiaxing drove a detour and sent Professor Zhang back to Qianduju first.

Then, he took Gao Caixue to the Beijing Hotel.

After getting off the car, Gao Caixue hooked his arm around Shen Jiaxing's neck like a brother, and walked towards the hotel while smiling, "Jiaxing, I knew you had a better relationship with me than with Professor Zhang. To be honest, I haven't stayed at the Beijing Hotel yet!"

Shen Jiaxing: "The room I live in is not big, I hope you don't mind."

Gao Caixue waved his hand generously, "Don't mind, no matter how small it is, it's not as small as the school dormitory, and there is also Western food to eat in the evening, hehe!"

Shen Jiaxing: "If you want to eat Western food, it's easy. Come with me to Shanghai. I'll hire a chef who can cook Western food and cook for you every day!"

Gao Caixue was overjoyed, "Is there such a good news?"

Shen Jiaxing looked at him with a smile, "Don't you know that I'm Shen Xingzhou's son? He's so rich, and as his son, are you still worried that I can't afford a cook?"

Gao Caixue patted his shoulder and said as if to comfort him: "Hey! I believe in you. We are close friends! Even if Professor Zhang doesn't believe in you, I still believe in you."

Shen Jiaxing glanced at him with amusement. Who said that this boy is carefree and simple-minded? I think it is the person who said this who is simple-minded.

At around seven o'clock the next day, the hotel waiter knocked on the door of room 411. Shen Jiaxing had just got up to wash up.

Gao Caixue was too excited last night and went to bed in the middle of the night. He hasn't gotten up yet at this hour.

Shen Jiaxing opened the door and the waiter said, "Mr. Shen, there is a Mr. Allen waiting for you downstairs."

When Shen Jiaxing went downstairs, Ai Shutong was already drinking coffee with Alan, Mary and Henry.

Not long after Shen Jiaxing sat down, Allen protested.

"No, you can't leave tomorrow. You can only leave after you have provided me with the funds."

Shen Jiaxing said helplessly, "Didn't I just explain to you that I want to set up a savings bank, and once it's established, I will lend money to Dexter & Co."

"If I don't go back, how can I contact my partners to hold a fund-raising meeting? If I don't raise funds, how can I run a bank? If I don't run a bank, how can I solve your funding problems?"

Allen looked at him distrustfully, "Who knows whether what you said is true or not? You just lied to me two days ago!"

Shen Jiaxing glared at him and said, "Don't accuse me, I didn't lie to you."

"It's just that I can solve your financial problem later."

Allen: "That's all? You don't care about him!"

Ai Shutong looked at him with a smile, "He is my teacher, he can control me, but I can't control him."

Allen was about to say something when Shen Jiaxing interrupted him, "Okay, okay, it's just a meal, right? You're so stingy! I'll treat you guys to dinner tonight, okay?"
