Chapter 1438 - Send The Astronauts Home (1/2)

Rafael Leif, the 17th Chancellor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, returned to his hometown of Venezuela after he retired. The headhunter hired by Jiang Chen invited him to serve as the Chancellor of Coro University and offered him an annual salary of 4 million dollars.

Since Jiang Chen handed over his “cosmology” public elective course to Mr. Hawking, he, the chairman of the school board, an honorary professor of Coro University, and an honorary chancellor, had rarely participated in university affairs and passed over the tasks to the Ministry of Education of Xin.

Of course, even though he didn’t participate in managing the university, Jiang Chen had never been stingy with the budget. After all, for him, investing in education was more than just a slogan.

Chancellor Leif was also impressive. Under his leadership, Coro University had become a world-renowned institution of higher learning by virtue of its advantages in aerospace technology, bioengineering, and other fields. It had become the preferred university for international students in East and South Asia.

“Chancellor Leif, what’s the matter?” Jiang Chen said in a pleasant tone after he picked up the call

“A scholar from the UA wants to interview you,” Rafael Leif said on the phone. “His name is Frank Dobbin, a professor in the Division of Social Sciences at Harvard University. He is interested in the rise of Celestial Trade and Xin and is researching this topic. I wonder if you’re free in the next few days?”

When Jiang Chen heard someone wanted to interview him, he was slightly caught off guard.

To be honest, he did not like reporters’ attempts to corner him with tough questions, so he naturally did not like interviews.

Just when he was about to refuse, the next words of Chancellor Leif made him unable to refuse.

“If it is convenient, he hopes to write a biography for you through this interview.”

Jiang Chen looked to the door and saw Lilith, who looked at him with eyes of hope.

It was indeed an occasion that was worthy of her to use her expression simulation program.

“Tomorrow. I have something to do today,” Jiang Chen responded after he confirmed he had no arrangements tomorrow.

“Then I will thank you on behalf of Frank Dobbin.” Leif smiled.

“You’re welcome.”

After lunch, Jiang Chen drove Lilith.

He said he would take her to the bookstore.

Although she was a digitalized human, Jiang Chen did not intend to break his promise.

“Have you thought about what to buy?”

“I searched for a book list on the Internet, and based on the description, it looked very interesting.” Lilith expanded her holographic screen, then gently pushed it in front of Jiang Chen as she said with a hint of excitement in her tone.

“…Don’t block my view, I’m still driving. Wait until I get on the maglev track first.”

As he pushed the holographic screen to the side, with the corner of his eyes, he scanned a few familiar names on the book list.

All detective and horror novels?

As expected, because she was an AI, her preference towards novels was based on logic…

Jiang Chen was a little surprised.

He originally thought that Lilith would prefer novels with great plots, or simply fantasy novels that were far away from reality.
