Chapter 478 Visiting Professor of History Department

If the invitation of Xu Nuo to teach music by Shanghai Media University was within everyone's expectations.

Then the sudden notice from the History School of Jiangnan University shocked all the students.

The next morning, the History School of Jiangnan University suddenly issued a notice.

"The history elective course "Ancient Chinese History" will no longer be taught by Li Tongchen. The school will arrange other teachers to teach the course, and the class will start this Wednesday."

The history elective course is usually taught by Li Tongchen. The course is scheduled later this semester and has not actually started yet.

Li Tongchen is a celebrity professor with millions of fans online. Many people choose this elective course for him.

When several history students saw the notice, they were so angry that they cursed: "Damn, are you kidding me!"

"What is the school doing? Only Professor Li's course is interesting."

"When choosing courses, many students from other majors chose this course. It was almost time for class, but it was suddenly replaced."

Chen Xiao complained.

"Is Professor Li unwell?"

"Ah? Not really. He looked fine the other day."

Many students saw the notice.

"What is the school thinking? Without Professor Li, more than half of the students will be in this class!"

"It's a pity for the only star course in the School of History."

"Hey, I wonder who will take the class instead."

The elective course "Ancient Chinese History" is limited to 200 people, and there are often thousands of people competing for places.

But as soon as the notice came out, many people lost interest.

"I have something to do this week. I won't go to "Ancient Chinese History". Don't you want to go? Go for me!"

"Go to hell. You only remembered me after someone else changed. I don't want to go either."

There are still many students who think this way.

Since Li Tongchen is not teaching, the biggest attraction of this course is gone. It's better to play ball than to have a boring teacher teach.

Xu Nuo's home.

Xu Chengwen was shocked: "What? Jiangda invited you to be a teacher?"

"How is it? Is it enough to make you proud?" Xu Nuo drank a sip of tea happily.

"What to talk about? Music?"

"Hey, none of them, guess?"

Zheng Qiuyun: "My son can talk about anything!"

Xu Chengwen rolled his eyes at her and turned to Xu Nuo and said: "It's a good thing that Jiangda invited you, but it's not a good thing to get honor and status beyond your ability."

Xu Nuo nodded: "Don't worry, I know."

The consequence of mismatching honor and ability is that everyone criticizes him. Such honor is not only useless to him, but also a burden.

Old Xu has always seen the truth clearly.

"By the way, you haven't told me what Jiangda invited you to talk about." Seeing that he listened, Xu Chengwen picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea with satisfaction.

It seems that his family status has not been reduced. No matter how capable his son is outside, he still has to listen to him.

"History."

Xu Chengwen spit out a mouthful of tea.

"What the hell? History?" Xu Chengwen was dumbfounded. Xu Nuo had nothing to do with history.

"I don't know if I'm crazy or if Jiangda is crazy. You, a singer, are going to talk about history?"

Zheng Qiuyun was also not calm. She had always thought that Jiangda invited him to talk about music or something, but who knew it was history.

Although she was proud, Zheng Qiuyun was also a clear-headed person: "Xiao Nuo, you studied broadcasting and are now a star. Can you do history?"

Xu Nuo smiled slightly, knowing that his parents were just worried, "Mom, don't worry, your son has never done anything that you are not sure of?"

Having said that, the old couple looked a little worried.

Fame and fortune are attractive. It is human nature to pursue fame and fortune. Even Xu Chengwen himself finds it difficult to resist the temptation of a top university like Jiangda.

Although celebrities seem to be glamorous on the surface, that is just because others are willing to give them face. If we really talk about qualifications and reputation, it is not worth mentioning at all.

But university professors are different. With the title of professor at Shanghai Media University, Xu Nuo can sit on the podium if he participates in certain activities.

Jiangda is even more different. With the title of professor, he will be treated with courtesy wherever he goes.

Especially in Jiangcheng and even the entire central region, Jiangda professors are a golden signboard.

Xu Chengwen is most worried that Xu Nuo will not be able to control the situation, or be used by some people.

"Dad, I have thought of everything you have considered. Don't worry. This decision was made by the History School. Except for a few people who did not vote, your son almost voted unanimously." Xu Nuo smiled.

Now thinking back to the meeting of the History School of Jiangda, Xu Nuo still finds it a little incredible.

Li Tongchen, who has always been gentle and elegant, became a little sarcastic when it came to his problems, and he was like Zhuge Liang debating with scholars.

"Old Li, I know you are optimistic about Xu Nuo, but you have to know that history requires a lot of accumulation." Old Ma shook his head.

Li Tongchen said bluntly: "You have accumulated knowledge, but what's the use? Is anyone interested in what you are studying?"

Lao Ma: "... It hurts!"

A professor named Wang said: "Xu Nuo's major is not history, and his current job has nothing to do with history. Isn't it possible that he is heretical? Our history department will be questioned!"

Li Tongchen snorted: "Why are you so feudal? Has the reform and opening up forgotten you?"

Professor Wang can't be fooled, why is he still making personal attacks.

"There is a saying that those who know first come first. What's wrong if you're not a history major? I remember correctly, Lao Wang, you majored in geography!"

"I still feel it's inappropriate. After all, history is a very rigorous subject. If you don't put in some hard work, it will definitely not work. As far as I know, Xu Nuo is actually quite busy, right? Filming TV series, movies, writing songs..."

Before Xu Nuo could say anything, Li Tongchen waved his hand: "Today I'm going to show you what genius is! What's wrong with being busy? You can surpass most people if you just take some time."

Li Tongchen was very much like the tutor who protected him during his graduation defense. He didn't let Xu Nuo say a word and rolled up his sleeves to refute them one by one.

Xu Nuo looked at Li Tongchen who was spitting and felt a little moved.

To be honest, he didn't have much interaction with Li Tongchen, and they even met for the first time yesterday, but Li Tongchen spared no effort to protect him, even at the expense of his own image.

How can ordinary people do this?

Xu Nuo watched Li Tongchen chatting with the scholars, and then looked at the dean who had an inscrutable look on his face. Xu Nuo suddenly understood that Li Tongchen must have convinced the dean.

"Lao Li, you came prepared today. It's not your style at all, but you have to come up with something to convince us. Even if we don't have any objections, I'm afraid the students will have objections then."

Li Tongchen chuckled, sat down and took a sip of tea, "You only saw the possible criticism, but you didn't see the influence that promised to bring after joining. Everyone here is an expert, but when it comes to the influence on the public , none of us can compare to Xiao Xu.”

Seeing that most people agreed, Li Tongchen proudly sent the information in his hand to everyone, "Take a good look, this time it is the turn of Jiangnan University School of History to become popular all over the Internet!"

A few people who were not very convinced took it over and were stunned for a moment.

Professor Wang was very impressed: "Writing history in the same way as writing novels? This is indeed a good idea!"

"But this is a bit difficult. It requires good writing skills, an understanding of history, and the writing must be exciting and beautiful."

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Dean Qian, who had been pretending to be inscrutable for a long time, finally spoke.

He knocked on the table: "Do you have any other comments?"

A professor hesitated, opened and closed his mouth, and finally said nothing.

Dean Qian knew it well, "Do you think we are getting more attention and support now, or do you think we will get more attention after promising to join?"

Several professors who were a little unconvinced looked at each other, and their ideas suddenly opened up.

"Whether it is better to divide the cake that is only this big in total or to make the cake bigger, I don't need to say more about this truth."

Dean Qian said slowly: "Xiao Xu may not be as good at studying history as you, but he can play a huge role in promoting history, and may even start a historical craze. Just like the martial arts craze, as far as I know, martial arts has caught on There are opportunities and signs of recovery, and you need to seize them.”

No one commented this time.

Dean Qian stood up and shook hands with Xu Nuo: "Mr. Xu, welcome to Jiangda!"

Xu Nuo said with a serious face, "This is my honor."

"Hahaha, we will be colleagues from now on!" Li Tongchen was excited.

Everyone else accepted this fact.

If other celebrities directly serve as teachers, they will feel that this is trampling on the arrogance of literati.

But if you make a promise, it doesn't seem that hard to accept.

First of all, he himself can be regarded as half a literati, and he used poems and songs in his lyrics. Secondly, he also wrote "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", a work of great literary value.

Besides, it doesn’t seem to be a particularly outrageous thing for a distinguished professor from Shanghai University of Communication to also serve as a visiting professor at Jiangsu University.

After taking the first step, the next step will be much easier.

If changing the teacher of "Ancient Chinese History" is just a small matter, only some students who have grabbed this course will care.

Then the next official announcement from Jiangsu University was like an atomic bomb exploding in the middle of the crowd.

"The famous composer, singer, director, screenwriter, program planner, writer, and distinguished professor of Shanghai University of Communication has promised to officially join the School of History of Jiangnan University as a visiting professor!"

There is a long list of names, each one is resounding when picked up, and what is more important is the following sentence.

Join the School of History at Jiangsu University.

Today's colleges and universities are no different than in the past. If you want to be a teacher, you need a Ph.D., and you have to have a bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree to have a chance. If you miss even one step, you won't have a chance.

And at the age of 23, the promise of a bachelor's degree was so easy to join.

The Internet has already exploded. This news is so shocking!

Not literature, not music, but history?
