I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Overnight, Jiangnan University of Science and Technology went from a second-rate institution to world-renowned, and the online skepticism about the university's credibility ceased.

Questioning Jiangnan University of Science and Technology's standard was now tantamount to questioning the credibility of the Nobel Prize in Physics, which meant doubting the scientific research capabilities of Huaxia people on a global level.

If you continue to say that Jiangnan University of Science and Technology's scientific research is no good, you are basically saying that Huaxia people are no good, and that would warrant an apology to the entire nation! Just blossom and end it all.

"Strive for a hundred days, I want to attend Jiangnan University of Science and Technology" became the strongest slogan shouted by high school students and those studying for postgraduate exams.

Today's Jiangnan University of Science and Technology had undoubtedly become a heaven for studying physics.

The good news kept on coming, and the very next day, Han Jinyu received notice from the Huaxia Academy of Science that he had secured this year's academician slot; all that was left was to go through the motions.

As a Nobel winner, if they didn't confer upon him the title of academician, it really would be somewhat indefensible.

Han Jinyu went from an almost unfunded professor to holding the titles of academician and Nobel Prize in Physics laureate; not just the president, but even governors had to treat him with due courtesy.

That night, countless universities sent out olive branches to Han Jinyu; there were even several Ivy League schools from overseas that offered him very generous terms.

"Professor Han, we at Stanford University are willing to offer you a 2 million US Dollar annual salary and solve your green card issue in America!"

"Professor Han, if you come to Harvard University, we can make you a dean directly, with an annual salary of 3 million and a one-time immigration subsidy of 5 million US Dollar, plus a villa, but we hope you would change your citizenship!"

...

Han Jinyu almost immediately declined them all without a second thought.

Money? Did he lack money now? Enterprises eager for collaboration with him almost broke down his office door, and while his annual income wasn't as much as several million US Dollars, a few million Huaxia currency was still quite effortless for him.

He, a person who devoted himself to research every day, had no need for so much money; his children's housing and education had long been settled, and beyond a certain point, money was just a number.

Han Jinyu was a scholar, someone who pursued scientific research, and he clearly understood that staying by Zhang Menglong's side was incredibly meaningful for his own academic proficiencies.

Strictly speaking, he merely basked in Zhang Menglong's glory for this Nobel Prize in Physics, but with the many cutting-edge insights gained from Zhang Menglong, as long as he integrated and applied them, he might well have a chance to win another Nobel within a few years through his own effort!

Moreover, he was currently managing all the scientific research projects at the university; if he went to another school, he might not have the same rights and treatment. He wouldn't trade his position at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology for ten Harvard professor positions combined!

Besides, they wanted him to change his nationality—he wasn't stupid. If he took the Nobel and then decamped, he would be criticized viciously by the entire nation.

"Professor Han, do you have a moment?" a professor with a rather sly look came into Han Jinyu's office.

Han Jinyu's gaze immediately darkened, and a faint anger seemed to permeate the air.

"What's going on?" Zhang Menglong noticed the change in Han Jinyu's mood; they'd known each other for so long and he'd never seen him this angry before.

"It's a long story," Zhu Mengchao, the eldest apprentice brother, whispered, "That's Professor Yu. He used to follow Professor Han's research team as a lecturer. Professor Han promoted him all the way to professor, hoping he would take up the mantle of our research team, but who knew he would defect halfway and cozy up to a Yangtze Scholar at our university."

"So he's seeing Professor Han rise again and decides to turn back to the light?" Zhang Menglong sneered, finding such a person utterly despicable.

Just then, Han Jinyu's phone rang, and he left Professor Yu hanging while he answered it, but Professor Yu still shamelessly took a seat on the nearby sofa.

The phone call lasted for well over half an hour.

"Ah, sorry for keeping you waiting, Teacher Yu, I've just been so busy lately," Han Jinyu said, "Graduate admissions for next March, and it's only September now, yet already hundreds of students from across the country have contacted me wanting to apply for my graduate positions. Even after I changed my phone number, they still found it. Annoying, isn't it?"

"Hahaha! Teacher Han really knows how to humblebrag," Han Jinyu's students snickered as they hid in the lab.

But it was the truth. Being a student of a Nobel laureate wasn't something just anyone could claim. Was it any wonder people were vying for the positions early? There were even rumors that a Yanjing University student had rushed over from miles away last night, even hoping to bring their own funding to join the team.

"He had it coming," the eldest senior brother said, "You guys don't know, after he left, how much he pretended to comply but acted otherwise. He screwed up so many projects of Teacher Han's."

"Teacher Yu, did you need something?" Han Jinyu asked.

"Teacher Han, it's just that I've been away from the group for so long, I missed our lab's students, so I came back to visit."

"Done looking? If so, please leave. I have a press conference later tonight with Menglong," Han Jinyu said as he began to organize his things, "Menglong, are you ready?"

"Ready," Zhang Menglong cooperated and stepped out, "Let's go, Teacher Han. I hear that hundreds of professors and scholars from all over the country and the world have come today."

"Wait, Teacher Han!" Professor Yu quickly said, "I just wanted to ask if our research group still needs people. I still have some feelings for this place."

"Oh, we're still short on people!"

Professor Yu's face lit up with joy, but the next words sent him plummeting down.

"Meng Chao, doesn't our lab still need an Administrator to take care of the chemicals and equipment? If Teacher Yu is willing to stoop to that level, then you should help him get settled in," Han Jinyu said.

"Sure, Teacher Han!"

...

"Teacher Han, there's no need to be upset over such people," they were on their way to the television station, and it was obvious that Han Jinyu was still a bit upset.

"I'm not upset," Han Jinyu suddenly laughed, "It's just too damn satisfying. I've been looking forward to a day like this. This two-faced bastard, I didn't want to curse in front of so many people earlier. Such people are simply a disgrace to the academic world..."

Watching Han Jinyu like this, Zhang Menglong was almost dumbfounded. Such beautiful Huaxia language, who knew Teacher Han was also a language artist!

Soon, they arrived at the Jiangnan City International Exhibition Center. For this press conference and academic seminar, nearly all of Huaxia's media resources had converged here.

The organizers had sent out over 1800 invitations, all of which had been accepted, and thousands of scholars who hadn't been invited had asked to participate. An event of such magnitude had caught the attention of the entire world.

The live broadcast starting at 19:30 was packed full of people an hour or two in advance.

"6666666!"

"Where there's Boss Zhang, there's always something big happening. I boldly guess that today there will definitely be excitement to watch!"

"I hope those idiot reporters don't ask some bizarre questions, or I think Boss Zhang might just blast them, and show off while he's at it."

"Confidence, bro, drop the 'might'."

"Guys, I heard that an organization in Europe that specializes in dark matter research has expressed considerable skepticism about Boss Zhang's achievements. Apparently, they're among the invited today. They seem to have been researching for decades, and I heard they might have had some breakthroughs in the last two years. Today, they might start some trouble."

"Start trouble? That's exciting. It'll definitely be a Shura Field!"
