Zhengyangmen: I refuse to be a bootlicker, Su Meng panicked

"You were sleepy just now, how come you suddenly became alert?" Xu Yuan yawned again and asked Han Chunming...

"I suddenly heard something interesting, so I became interested," Han Chunming explained.

"Really? Why don't I find it interesting?" Xu Yuan really didn't understand and didn't find anything interesting.

Of course Han Chunming would not tell Xu Yuan that he already had a profound literary accumulation and would of course find it very interesting.

"Professor, you've covered so many literary systems, but why don't you talk about novels?" a student suddenly asked the professor. "Are you worried that we'll exploit literature and write frivolous novels?"

This is a good question, and Han Chunming really wants to know how the professor will answer it.

Nowadays, everyone reads novels secretly and doesn’t want to be discovered by their parents, just like the children playing online games later.

"Who says writing novels is a waste of time?" the professor said, raising an eyebrow. "Novels are stories, of course, but writing well is not easy. Furthermore, novels can also provide positive inspiration. 4.0 can also help broaden people's horizons. Take Mr. Lu Xun, for example. Isn't he a great example? He used literature to save the country and used novels to satirize current events, with remarkable results!"

"The reason I haven't talked about it is, firstly, because we haven't reached that stage yet, and secondly, I hope you can accumulate more literary knowledge before approaching the subject of novels, so as to avoid misunderstandings about novels."

These words immediately touched Han Chunming's heart. It seemed that this professor was not that kind of pedantic person.

"That's a great talk!" Han Chunming subconsciously applauded and even walked into the classroom.

Han Chunming suddenly appeared and interrupted the class, but coincidentally, the bell for the end of get out of class rang.

"I'm really sorry to interrupt your class." Han Chunming said apologetically.

It was also because the professor spoke very well just now that Han Chunming couldn't help but plan his course.

The professor looked Han Chunming up and down and asked, "Who are you?"

Xu Yuan, who was a little sleepy at first, suddenly woke up and immediately ran into the classroom and said, "Professor Sun, this is Han Chunming, the chairman of Hongmeng Group. He has come here specifically to ask for your help."

Professor Sun was stunned. He never expected that the handsome young man in front of him was actually the chairman of Hongmeng Group.

The students who had originally planned to leave, when they heard that it was Han Chunming who came, sat down again one after another, and no one planned to leave.

They were all very curious about why this big entrepreneur from Yenching University came to their classroom.

"Although you are a big entrepreneur in Yenching, I am just a small professor. I really don't know how I can help." Professor Sun smiled slightly, but actually showed a deep alienation towards Han Chunming.

Han Chunming knew very well that intellectuals generally had deep resentment towards businessmen. They felt that the smell of money on businessmen was too strong.

But Han Chunming didn't mind and wasn't angry.

If he were in their shoes, he might have the same thoughts as these literati.

"Literati are knowledgeable and talented, unlike businessmen like me who only know how to do business. But literature is also the foundation of promoting culture, and I also have an obligation to participate." Han Chunming said with a smile.

This statement is a bit high-sounding, but I believe it is what Professor Sun likes to hear.

Sure enough, Professor Sun's expression eased a lot.

"I didn't expect Mr. Han to be so broad-minded. Why don't you tell me what kind of problem you have that requires my help?" Professor Sun asked, not shying away from the students present.

This is probably to see whether Han Chunming has any bad intentions. If he avoids others, it must be no good.

Han Chunming said straightforwardly, "To be honest, Hongmeng Group plans to establish a literary company specializing in literary publications. However, we are struggling to find a suitable publishing house to partner with and lack a lot of literary talent, so we would like to ask Professor Sun for help."

This provides employment opportunities for some literary talents, and Han Chunming feels that Professor Sun will not refuse.

Sure enough, Professor Sun's eyes lit up: "So, you want to publish a literary magazine?"

"Not only literary publications, if there are talented people with outstanding literary talent, I don't mind helping to publish exclusive books and publications." Han Chunming said with a smile.

Those students suddenly became excited. This was a good employment opportunity. Even if they could not become formal writers for a literary company, it would be good to submit articles as a part-time job.

"If that's the case, why don't you come to my office and we can discuss it in detail." Professor Sun noticed the students' excitement and said immediately.

This kind of thing cannot cause a commotion, it must be done naturally and gradually.

"Of course, Professor Sun, please." Han Chunming was quite humble and gave Professor Sun enough face as a scholar.

Xu Yuan on the side was stunned. Did Han Chunming suddenly get it? Professor Sun actually fell for his trick. Xu Yuan followed him involuntarily.

Of course Xu Yuan didn't know that the system had already given Han Chunming a hint.

"Ding Ding! We've detected that the host is conversing with a contemporary literary scholar. We would like to remind the host that the discussion should focus on promoting traditional culture, with a secondary focus on providing employment opportunities for students. Avoid mentioning commercial interests, and ease Professor Sun's skepticism towards businessmen before we can reach a successful collaboration."

This is the system's predictive function being turned on. This is Han Chunming's first time using such a function, and the experience is pretty good.

In the future, when you encounter such communication meetings, it would be really great to have the system to help you, and you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

That’s why Han Chunming’s words just now were able to convince Professor Sun so smoothly.

When he arrived at the office, Professor Sun had lost his previous defensiveness and resentment, and even poured tea for Han Chunming and Xu Yuan.

"Good tea." Han Chunming took a sip and praised, "This should be the new rain-previous Longjing tea produced this year, right?"

"I didn't expect Mr. Han to know something about tea!" Professor Sun nodded approvingly.

Han Chunming smiled without saying anything, but he felt a little proud in his heart.

How could he know anything about tea? He just saw Professor Sun making tea. His technique was very unique and skillful, and it was obvious that he was an expert in the tea ceremony.

Therefore, Han Chunming used another skill copy card, and not only obtained the god-level tea art skill, but also the god-level tea ceremony tasting skill.

"I don't drink tea very often, so I just know a little about it." Han Chunming said politely with a smile, then lowered his head and continued drinking tea.

Xu Yuan often drinks tea and immediately understood the trick of it, but he didn't expect that Han Chunming also knew so much about it.

This kid is really something, how many things does he not know?

After entering Professor Sun's office, Han Chunming was no longer in a hurry to talk about his own affairs.

People like Professor Sun are either not interested in or sneer at other people's affairs, or become extremely interested after being persuaded by others.

Han Chunming took advantage of Professor Sun's mentality and was not in a hurry to speak, which aroused Professor Sun's curiosity.

Xu Yuan knew Han Chunming and had long understood why he was so calm, so he did not get involved and just smiled and drank tea.

Professor Sun looked at Han Chunming. He was originally waiting for Han Chunming to speak, but now Han Chunming had no intention of speaking at all. Professor Sun suddenly felt a little unsure.

Didn't you say you were looking for him again? And it was all about literature...

"Mr. Han, um..." Professor Sun hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke, "Didn't we say we wanted to discuss something about literary publications?"

Han Chunming was slightly stunned, then acted as if he had suddenly realized something and said with a smile, "Look at me, I was so engrossed in your delicious tea that I forgot about my business and was only focused on sipping it."

Since he can understand literature and appreciate tea, Professor Sun naturally has a doubled liking for Han Chunming.

"Let's take our tea and talk business first," Professor Sun said. "What direction does Mr. Han's literary company plan to take?"

"It's mainly youth literature and single-volume novels." Han Chunming smiled. "Of course, if there are books with unique viewpoints that can satisfy the appetites of today's young people, and they are positive, they will also be considered."

Professor Sun nodded. He could understand why Han Chunming thought so.

Although we need to develop literature, we also need to survive, and we cannot ignore market factors.

"So, what difficulties is Mr. Han facing now?" Professor Sun asked.

"I would like to contact some publishing houses for cooperation. Although the publication is developed by Hongmeng Group, it still needs a suitable publishing house to be published, right?" Han Chunming said with a smile.

In fact, as a key institution of higher learning, Yenching University has always had very good cooperation with publishing houses.

Of course, the publishing houses that Yenching University cooperates with are all state-owned publishing houses, and they do not accept general publications.

Although Professor Sun is a professor at Yenching University, he normally contacts these state-owned publishing houses. However, some small publishing houses have also been in contact with Professor Sun, hoping to seek opportunities for cooperation.

After all, state-owned publishing houses cannot be state-owned from the beginning.

After thinking carefully for a while, Professor Sun said, "If that's the case, I'm certainly willing to help. After all, youth literature can also promote the development of literature. After all, literature must start with children. I have a few good publishing houses here that I can introduce to Mr. Han."

"That's great." Han Chunming's smile became even brighter.

"However, I also have a few conditions, and I hope Mr. Han can agree to them." Professor Sun suddenly changed the subject and put forward the conditions.

This was actually within Han Chunming's expectations. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Even though Professor Sun is a pedantic Confucian, and agreed to Han Chunming's request for the sake of so-called sentiment and literary development, he did not have no requirements at all.

"Professor Sun, please tell me as long as it is something I can do." Han Chunming agreed readily.

Han Chunming's straightforwardness made Professor Sun look at him differently.

In Professor Sun's opinion, businessmen are profit-driven. Even if they find a good reason, it is still for profit. So although Han Chunming's words made Professor Sun compromise, he still felt disdain in his heart.

However, Han Chunming agreed to the request made by this sour scholar without even a second thought, without considering the interests at all. How could this not change Professor Sun's opinion of him?
