Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

As he said this, he placed a large red invitation with gold edges on the desk.

Shen Jiaxing picked it up with a tired look on his face and looked at it, then said weakly, "Principal Li, to be honest, I've been busy lately and can't spare the time, so why don't you let Professor Li go?"

Li Yuanjiang asked in confusion: "Why do you look so listless? Didn't you get enough rest?"

Shen Jiaxing cheered up and explained, "My former landlady went missing near the hospital. I reported it to the police station and the initial judgment was that she was kidnapped by bad guys."

This kind of thing happens all the time, and nine times out of ten the items cannot be recovered, unless the thieves want a ransom, in which case they will contact their families.

"What's the little girl's family situation like?"

Shen Jiaxing knew what Li Yuanjiang was thinking and shook his head in frustration, "Her family is extinct and she is the only one left."

"and……"

After a moment's hesitation, he said, "That girl is very attractive. She probably doesn't want the ransom, but is attracted by her beauty."

Li Yuanjiang patted his shoulder in a comforting manner, "It can't be helped. In this era, being too outstanding is a curse, not a blessing. It's better to be ordinary and live a stable life."

"Cheer up, if we do more, maybe our people will have a better life."

Shen Jiaxing closed his eyes weakly. When he opened them again, the worry in his eyes had been replaced by determination. "Well, thank you Principal Li for your comfort. I will try my best."

Principal Li nodded and picked up the invitation on the desk. "If you don't want to go, don't force yourself. I'll let Hu Shu go."

Shen Jiaxing bowed and apologized, "Then I'm sorry to bother you, Director Hu. It would be disrespectful for me to go there in this state. I'm afraid the new deputy director will be angry."

Three days later, after finishing his class, Shen Jiaxing hurried out of the school, hailed a rickshaw, and headed straight to the street in front of the hospital to look for Ai Shutong.

Until it was completely dark, Shen Jiaxing had not heard any useful information from the shops on both sides of the street. He dragged his tired body back to his former residence.

When Lin's mother saw him, she quickly stepped forward and asked, "Teacher Shen, is there any news about the young lady?"

Shen Jiaxing looked up and saw that it was Lin's mother. He sighed helplessly and shook his head.

Mother Lin tilted her head and sighed, then she remembered the food on the stove, "Teacher Shen, I left some food for you, go eat it quickly!"

Only when you are full will you have the energy to find a lady. The last sentence is what is in your heart, but Mother Lin is too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Among the guests invited by Heng Su today, most were colleagues invited together with their spouses, and the few invited alone were all high-ranking officials that were out of his reach.

Among these people, very few came in person; most of them sent their sons or concubines to come.

Although his immediate superior Li Yuanjiang did not come, he did not send his children or concubines to deal with the matter. Instead, he sent Hu Shu, the dean of the School of Literature at Peking University.

Heng Shu felt that he still had a lot of face, so he was very satisfied and went forward to greet him enthusiastically, "Hello, President Hu, please come in!"

Hu Shu was wearing a long robe and bowed with his hands on his chest. "You are too polite, Deputy Director! Your house is really magnificent!"

Heng Shu laughed out loud.

Then he personally took Hu Shu inside. The mansion had been specially decorated today and looked particularly solemn and majestic.

After entering the hanging flower gate, there are winding corridors on both sides and a hall in the middle. There is a red coral bonsai half a person's height placed there. After passing the bonsai, there are three large halls. The sound of lively conversation can be heard, which shows that there are many people inside.

When they reached the door, needless to say, the servants on both sides opened the heavy curtains, and Heng Su smiled and led Hu Shu in.

As soon as Hu Shu stepped in, he felt a burst of heat coming towards him. Not only was it warm as spring, but there were also seven or eight pots of blooming flowers. He couldn't help but say, "These flowers are so beautiful! The deputy director is really a gentleman!"

Looking up, I saw that they were all Beijing's wealthy and fashionable people. They were all dressed decently. Most of the men wore suits, while the women wore a variety of styles of clothes, some wore Western dresses, and some wore cheongsams.

There were actually people wearing old-style Manchu clothing. Hu Shu thought, he had heard that the deputy director was a Manchu, and the person wearing Manchu clothing must be from a Manchu family.

Next to the flower pots are two long tables, one table with Chinese pastries and the other with Western desserts, which makes people feel happy just by looking at them.

Li Yanran, wearing a dress, walked over without any restraint.

Heng Shu introduced the two to each other, and Li Yanran naturally reached out her hand and shook hands with Hu Shu. "I have heard of your name for a long time. Why didn't Dean Hu bring his wife with him?"

Hu Shu smiled and replied, "Unfortunately, my wife just happened to be back with her child at her parents' home."

Li Yanran said, "What a pity. Next time there is a chance, you must introduce us to each other so that I can learn from Madam Hu."

Hu Shu said politely, "The deputy director's wife is too polite. My wife is just an ordinary woman and cannot be compared with the deputy director's wife."

Li Yanran laughed, "No, no, I heard that your son is a top student at Peking University, and your daughter is studying at Beiman Girls' High School. They are both outstanding people."

"Alas, my children are far behind! They have never been to a foreign school. My master plans to have them take the entrance exams for Beiman Girls' High School and Yuying Middle School. I am very worried and would like to ask Mrs. Hu for advice."

Hu Shu praised politely, "You and the deputy director are both talented people. I believe the young masters and young ladies in your family will not be bad either. Madam, why do you look down on them?"

"Your children and the deputy director's children must be excellent in their studies. I wish them greater success in the future in advance."

Li Yanran cursed inwardly that the old fox was really good at pretending to be ignorant. She tightened the handkerchief in her hand and had to make things clear.

"President Hu, this foreign school requires three exams: Chinese, arithmetic, and English."

"It's relatively easy to find a teacher for Chinese and math, but it's not so easy to find a teacher who's good at English."

"Many of your Peking University teachers have studied abroad. I am shamelessly asking you for two. Don't worry, money is not a problem!"

Hu Shu really didn't like dealing with this old-fashioned family. He had already implicitly refused to have any contact with them in his conversation just now. He didn't expect that this woman would rather tear off her hypocritical face and ask for his help.

Peking University teachers have high salaries, and they are not short of money. How could they use their talents to teach children to take the middle school entrance exam? Isn't that a waste of talent?

"Madam, our school has very good salary and benefits. The teachers don't..."

Li Yanran interrupted him, "I know, so money is not a problem. I will agree to whatever they ask for."

Hu Shu was so angry that he laughed. What a rich deputy director's wife. She said something nice now, but she won't regret it later? !

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Li Ziming, the director of the Academic Affairs Office of Union University, who was strolling around drinking soda. "Old Li, long time no see, come here quickly!"
