Two days flew by.

Before Lin Fan took Lin Shuying to the provincial capital, Chu Jiang had a private talk with Lin Fan.

"Teacher Chu, is there something you want to tell me?"

Chu Jiang looked at Lin Fan, a hint of relief showing on his face.

He said with some emotion, "At my advanced age, I never expected to have such an outstanding disciple as you. I am very satisfied."

"We have watched you grow step by step to where you are today. Many people in Liangshan County are praising you. We just hope that you will not forget your original aspiration and will not forget your initial commitment."

Hearing Chu Jiang's words, Lin Fan nodded seriously.

He has come a long way from having nothing to where he is today, and many people have reminded him, directly or indirectly, not to forget his original aspiration.

And don't forget why you started making money and doing business in the first place.

He had lost his way for a time, but fortunately he persevered in the end.

Now he deeply understands what his purpose in life is, and he has a clear sense of proportion and boundaries in everything he does.

So hearing Chu Jiang's words again evoked many feelings in me.

"Teacher Chu, I understand."

"Don't worry, no matter how big the business grows in the future, I will never forget my original intention, and I will never forget the purest thoughts in my heart when I first earned my first money."

Chu Jiang nodded with satisfaction.

Then he looked at Lin Fan and suddenly said, "You're not that old. Business is very important, but don't waste your other talents."

"Do you want to go to Nancheng University?"

Upon hearing Chu Jiang's words, Lin Fan was suddenly stunned.

Nancheng University?

He looked down at himself, dressed in simple clothes, exuding a mature and composed air that was beyond the reach of his peers.

More importantly, this is indeed the age when many people are in college.

But having lived two lives, he had no such thought in his mind at all.

For most people, university is more of an experience, a buffer between school and society. But for Lin Fan, he doesn't need these things, so going to university now is meaningless; he won't learn anything.

Seemingly sensing Lin Fan's thoughts, before Lin Fan could refuse, Chu Jiang said directly, "Of course, it's not about making you a student."

"I'm asking you to invest in your future. Remember the translation organization you joined last time?"

"Actually, your academic experience is far richer and more professional than you imagine. I have an old friend at Nancheng University, and I mentioned your story to him."

"If you're willing, he'll agree to make an exception and admit you to Nancheng University as an honorary professor."

"You don't need to teach at the university every day. You only need to show up when you are required to appear on special occasions."

"Of course, even as an honorary teacher with my recommendation, you still passed a simple test. Your greatest strength is in languages. You told me last time that you are proficient in at least four foreign languages. Perhaps you shouldn't waste your talent in this area."

At a time when our motherland is in dire need of reconstruction and rebuilding, there is a severe shortage of diplomatic talent.

It's not an exaggeration to say that as long as you are proficient in a foreign language, you can get a secure job in a high-level government institution like the diplomat's office, just like the invitation Lin Shuying received.

Not to mention someone with even higher talent like Lin Fan, who could indeed have a great future if he wanted to.

However, Lin Fanzhi was not here; he was always engaged in business, so this advantage was not apparent.

Chu Jiang, with his shrewd insight, didn't want Lin Fan to waste his advantages in this area, so he wanted Lin Fan to further develop his skills.

Having lived a lifetime, he naturally understands the principle that having many skills is never a burden, and he also understands the importance of connections. Whether you are in business or politics, having more titles and more connections will greatly help your future life.

"Teacher, I'm only twenty years old. Will Nancheng University really agree to let me become an honorary professor?"

In this era, a university degree is extremely valuable. You can hardly find any university graduates in the entire Liangshan County, let alone university professors.

Even just being an honorary teacher, that is, having a nominal position, is extremely rare.

Not to mention that Lin Fan is only twenty years old, probably not even as old as many students in schools.

Therefore, Lin Fan was still somewhat insecure about himself in this regard.

It's not that he's insecure, but rather that he has a clear understanding of himself.

He knew his own limitations and didn't want to rely on connections or Chu Jiang's influence to get these things. He knew that if he didn't do well, he would only tarnish Chu's reputation.

"Don't worry, since I dared to ask you this, I have absolute confidence in you."

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to manipulate power and abuse it for personal gain? If you can't handle the job, I won't make things difficult for my old friend. You should just go back to where you were."

Seeing Teacher Chu's serious expression, Lin Fan could only take a deep breath and slowly nod.

“I understand, Teacher Chu, I can give it a try.”

"But even if I accept this honor, I'm afraid I won't have that much time to go to school. I'll have to talk to your old friend about this to avoid any misunderstandings."

Time is what Lin Fan lacks most right now. After all, as his business grows bigger and bigger and he has more and more factories under his control, there are many things he can't handle.

If you have to take on multiple roles and responsibilities, mistakes are bound to happen.

To reiterate, he wouldn't care if it were just him, but he was afraid that things would get involved with Teacher Chu and tarnish Teacher Chu's reputation.

“It’s alright. I already made this clear to him in my letter. He knows about your situation and that you’re currently running a business, and on a fairly large scale. You certainly don’t have that much time to go to the school, so you can’t be compared to a regular honorary teacher.”

"So you just need to go. You only need to be there in certain situations where you absolutely have to show up. You don't need to worry about anything else. I can assure you of that. After all, your teacher knows you and wouldn't assign you tasks you can't complete and make you feel embarrassed."
