Chapter Forty-Five: Unreasonable

  "And also the name of this college," Zhu Ziming said with a wry smile, tomorrow they will have to promote the college, but the name of the college has not been decided yet, it's really a bit ridiculous.

  Although the two had discussed this matter two days ago, Zhu Ziming and Yan Yilie did not reach a consensus. Zhu Ziming jokingly suggested naming the academy "Zi Ming Academy", which made Yan Yilie so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. This joke ended the discussion of naming the academy.

  Yan Yun Li waved his hand: "This is not difficult, as long as the name of the academy is decided at this time, I can immediately let the servants go to the craftsmen to order the signboard, and it will be hung on the gate of the academy tomorrow morning."

  The matter of the plaque for this academy is a trivial and easy thing, but what name to take is a good question. Zhu Ziming fell into deep thought, with memories from his past life, good names came easily, but the name of an academy is no small matter, it can't be taken lightly, it must have new meaning, profound meaning, and also sound good.

  With so many requirements, it's really a bit difficult to choose a name for the academy.

  After a while, Zhu Ziming's eyes lit up and he said: "This academy is the heart and soul of both of us, why don't we call it Mingli Academy, what do you think?"

  "Ming Li Academy, Ming Zhi treats people with courtesy, and all things are respected with courtesy." Yan Yin Li clapped his hands in approval: "What a great name for Ming Li Academy, what a good name!"

  Yan Yunli respectfully clasped his fists: "Brother Zhu is indeed impressive!"

  Of course, the name "Ming Li Shu Yuan" was extraordinary and had a profound meaning for both of them. How could it be bad? The two immediately agreed and ordered their servants to go to the craftsmen to make a plaque, which would be ready to hang up by dawn the next day.

  Everything is ready now, but we still need a few teachers. We have to go and ask Mr. Chen for help.

  "Master Zhu, there is a Mr. Chen here looking for you," said a servant, rushing into the dining hall and bowing.

  "Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives."

  "Isn't that Mr. Chen? Is he called Chen Cao?" Yan Yili said subconsciously, but this name is a bit too strange.

  "Brother Yan, you really have talent," Zhu Ziming raised his thumb, shaking his head in a mixture of laughter and tears.

  History is different, culture is also different, it's a headache.

  Is it really Chen Cao? Yan Yili smiled and clasped his fists: "No, no!"

  At this time, Zhu Ziming wanted to vomit blood, and Yan Yulie said: "It's just that the name Chen Cao is a bit hard to hear."

  "Oh God, save me!" Zhu Ziming cried out, then fled in a hurry, rushing to get away, or else he would surely lose several years of his life.

  Inside the cafeteria, only Yan Yunli was left, muttering to himself: "Brother Zhu, what's going on? Why are you suddenly seeking divine intervention?"

  “.......”

  Just as Zhu Ziming walked through the gate of the college, Chen Juren had just stepped inside. Seeing Zhu Ziming arrive, Chen hurriedly went up to greet him and said with a warm smile: "Zhu young master, you've made an old man search for you for quite some time."

  Chen Juren originally went to the Shen Mansion to look for Zhu Ziming, but the servant said he was not in the mansion. Even Madame Shen did not know where he had gone. Chen Juren returned home disappointed, and on the street, he accidentally ran into a little footman distributing flyers. It was the first time he had seen such a novel advertising method. Suddenly, Chen Juren thought of Zhu Ziming, that rare talent. His efforts were not in vain, for indeed, there he was.

  Then Mr. Chen told how he found his way through, and Zhu Ziming smiled and said: "Mr. Chen is indeed quick-witted."

  Chen Juren shook his head and smiled: "How can I compare to Zhu Gongzi? You can come up with such wonderful ideas, I must admit my inferiority."

  "What did Mr. Chen want to see me for?" Zhu Ziming was not in a hurry to ask for Chen Juren's help, but rather wanted to know first what Chen Juren's sudden visit was about. Was it because he had encountered difficulties with "The Things of the State of Yan"?

  "The Things of the State of Yan" set off a wave of enthusiasm for historical books in the State of Yan, with countless people flocking to it. Chen Juren became a household name in the State of Yan, and the success of this book gave him great confidence. After finishing "The State of Yan", he published "The Things of the Zhao Dynasty", which was even more popular than "The Things of the State of Yan".

  Mr. Chen said with great respect: "Today, I have achieved some success, all thanks to Mr. Zhu's guidance and support. That's why I came to express my gratitude for his kindness."

  Originally, Chen Juren was named Chen Jin. Zhu Ziming smiled and said: "I'm just showing off my eloquence. If you, Chen Juren, didn't have that kind of talent, even if I explained it to the point of exhaustion, it would still be a waste of effort."

  Zhu Gongzi's words were always so interesting, Chen Juren laughed and said: "Although my brushwork is still outstanding," after all, I have written a lot of historical books, and this pen power is still there.

  Chen Juren paused for a moment and then said, "But I'm already an old fool. If it weren't for Zhu Gongzi's guidance, how could I have written such a world-shocking masterpiece?"

  Chen Juren was indeed very persistent, insisting that I take credit for his own achievements. Zhu Ziming said with embarrassment: "I just gave some suggestions, the one who actually wrote the book is still you, Chen Juren."

  Zhu Xiaoge seemed to be shameless and unreasonable, but in fact he was a decent gentleman. Chen Juren didn't want to say anything more, as saying too much would only make himself appear insincere. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket: "Master Zhu, this is an old man's heartfelt gift, I hope you will accept it."

  Looking at the money shop silver ticket worth 1,200 taels, Zhu Ziming was stunned for a moment, completely not expecting that the once frugal Chen Juren would be so generous.

  Zhu Ziming blushed and said: "How can I possibly..."

  Look at Zhu Xiaoge's shy appearance, but his dark face is as black as charcoal, has he blushed? ... His skin is thicker than the city wall, how could that be! Chen Juren wanted to cry but had no tears, and for a while didn't know what to say.

  Chen Juren's lips twitched a few times before he said, "Zhu Gongzi, please accept it. Otherwise, I will have a guilty conscience."

  "Alright," Zhu Ziming suddenly revealed a serious and solemn expression: "In order to let Mr. Chen eat well, drink well, sleep well, and have an appetite, I'll reluctantly accept it."

  You still reluctantly accepted it... At this moment, Mr. Chen wanted to cry... For the first time, he saw someone accepting money with such a strong sense of justice, it was unreasonable.

  Chen Juren smiled bitterly. Zhu Xiaoge was indeed someone who never did things according to common sense. Zhu Ziming spoke in a serious tone, "Mr. Chen, you've come at just the right time. I have something to ask of you."

  "Oh? Chen Jin asked: "May I ask what Zhu Gongzi means?"

  "Zhu said: 'I would like to invite Mr. Chen to come and work at the academy as a teacher of this Ming Rites Academy.'"

  "Is it true that Mr. Kong is coming to your academy as the principal, Zhu Xiaoge?"
