Secretary Zhen Shuquan suddenly said, “President Wu, who is the professor that you invited to join us?”
Chang Kaige said, “I heard that Professor Sun from Renmin University retired? His research in the field of classical works is considered to be very good. Did President Wu invite Old Sun over?”
Yan Jiantao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, “Old Sun would never come here. He spent his entire teaching career at Renmin University.”
Zhen Shuquan also frowned, “Professor Sun? It can’t be him, right?”
Wu Zeqing smiled slightly and took a sip of tea, “I did not look for Professor Sun. I recognize his teaching qualifications, but I didn’t think he’d be suitable for an elective like ‘Appreciation of the Classics’. His style is too rigid and wouldn’t be attractive to the students. As for Doctor Chen, who was recommended by Old Chang, after finding out more about him, I did not ask him to join us either. I’ve seen Professor Chen’s literature research papers and though I found them to be very outstanding, I do not think that he has the eloquence in speaking. He can write, but not speak, so he would not be able to take over the role from Professor Wang.”
Oh?
