3. Desperado
Dongfang Business School was the first business school in the country. It was founded in 1921 and had a history of more than 20 years. It had cultivated many useful talents for the country, including many elites. After the September 18th Incident, in order to divert international attention and pressure the Nanjing National Government to yield, the Japanese continued to stir up trouble in Shanghai. On the night of January 28, 1932, the Japanese army suddenly launched an attack on the 19th Route Army of the Kuomingtang in Zhabei, followed by the attack on Jiangwan and Haosong. The 19th Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, under the leadership of General Cai Tingkai and General Jiang Guangnai, rose up to resist and broke out the "128 Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries.
Early the next morning, the Japanese aircraft carrier Noto Lu, which was anchored on the Huangpu River, took off and bombed Zhabei's Chinese territory. The Baoshan Road Commercial Press and the Oriental Library (the largest private library in China with more than 300,000 books) were all destroyed. The school buildings, teaching facilities, and books of Dongfang Business School on Xiafei Road were also burned down by the Japanese artillery. In 1935, the new school building of Dongfang Business School was completed in Jiangwan. In 1937, it was destroyed again by the artillery fire of the "August 13" Songhu War of Resistance.
During the Anti-Japanese War, under the iron hooves of the Japanese pirates, many universities in Shanghai chose to move inward to avoid the war. However, Dongfang Business School had already been destroyed in the war twice and was already on the verge of death. The authorities did not order the school to move inward. The school remained in the occupied area, half-dead, struggling to run the school. It became one of the eight pseudo-national universities under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education of the Wang Weixin government in Nanjing.
At that time, some or all of the famous universities that remained in the enemy's occupied areas included the pseudo-Central University, the pseudo-Zhejiang University, the pseudo-Jiao Tong University, the pseudo-Shanghai University, the pseudo-Shanghai Conservatory of Music, the pseudo-overseas Chinese preparatory school, and the private Fu Jen University of Peiping. There were countless second-class and third-class schools. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the National Government adopted completely different methods to deal with different types of colleges and university graduates in the occupied areas. After screening, some recognized their academic qualifications, some were not recognized, some were reformed and restored, some were nationalized, and some were banned.
After the recovery of Shanghai, the Oriental Business School received a new student and was quickly recognized by the authorities. In the year of the restoration, five majors were recruited, and each major recruited 30 students. In total, 150 new students were recruited. In addition, there were more than 60 senior students in the two repeaters 'comprehensive classes who had dropped out of school during the sinking period and went into exile. There were more than 260 students and teachers in the school. At that time, the school facilities were very simple and the living environment was very difficult. Later on, the government of the Republic of China took over a British school occupied by the Japanese on Zhongzhou Road and handed it over to the preparatory committee for the restoration of the Eastern Business School. Only then did the Eastern Business School officially declare its restoration.
Walking into the gate of the Oriental Business School on Zhongzhou Road, he saw a huge ochre stone with the words " economic time " engraved on it. The words were written in a dignified and majestic official script. Behind the boulder was a large playground with six basketball courts and two volleyball courts. There were also sand pits for the horizontal bars, parallel bars, and high jump and long jump. There was a four-meter-wide track with a circumference of 400 meters around the field. Camphor and French parasol trees were planted beside the runway. The runway was surrounded by green grass, and roses, roses, and chrysanthemums competed for beauty in the flower beds.
Behind the training yard, there were three three-story school buildings lined up in a row. The fa?ade composition was neat, and the horizontal composition was three-section composition. Square windows, stone outer walls, brown tiles on the walls between the windows, and double-slope black tile roofs. Up close, the indoor corridor was decorated with a semi-circular arch, and the main body of the first floor was a continuous arched colonnade supported by nine Ionic columns. The entrance is prominent, for the arch door, on both sides of the tower dry column. There were balconies and spacious corridors on the second and third floors. The classrooms had gray rectangular windows and lines on the walls below the windows. It was a typical European decorative art style.
The school offered eight majors: accounting, statistics, insurance, commerce, business administration, bank finance, transportation, and international trade. There were three levels: preparatory (one year), specialist (three years), and undergraduate (four years). The first year was not divided into departments. The curriculum was based on famous schools at home and abroad, and the credit system was implemented. Students could graduate after completing the required credits and be awarded the corresponding degree certificate.
The school has a teaching team and management team mainly composed of returning British and American students. Among the thirty-one teachers, there were three American teachers. Among the 28 Chinese teachers, 15 had studied in famous universities overseas. For example, Harvard University in the United States, Colombia University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Illini, University of Brighton in the United States, and so on. Student management also adopted the European and American system. Meals, after-school activities, etc. were all taken care of by the Student Council.
Not long after school started, Yao Shunru formed an indissolvable bond with a student in the international trade major. This person's surname was Shi Guang Yao. He was 1.75 meters tall and had a fair and clean appearance. He had a fat head and round eyes. He was very bold and flamboyant. He was the second son of Shi Yong, the deputy commander of the Shanghai Garrison Command. He was a famous playboy with a group of wealthy children from Shanghai. He ate, drank, and played all day long, fooling around and not studying. Moreover, he was a little arrogant, arrogant, and bullied the weak. When the students saw them, they all avoided them far away, calling them a stubborn stone behind their backs.
Unexpectedly, Stone and his gang provoked a woman in a dance hall on a weekend night. When he returned to school on Sunday afternoon, he was blocked by three men and two women at the school gate. The two sides couldn't get along and started fighting. After a round of punches and kicks, Stone and his brothers scattered like birds and beasts. The other party was still angry. One of them took out a dagger and slashed at Stone's left arm. Shi Guangyao fled into the campus in panic and shouted for help!
The murderer with the knife chased after him. Seeing that Stone was about to be caught up, the dagger was about to stab his back. At this time, Yao Shunru happened to be playing basketball with a few classmates on the playground. Seeing this scene, he suddenly had an idea and threw the basketball in his hand at the murderer. It hit the dagger right on the spot and knocked it to the ground. The three criminals flew into a rage out of humiliation and turned to attack Yao Shunru. First of all, he dodged left and right calmly, not wanting to have a head-on conflict with the other party. However, after retreating for a few rounds, he saw that his opponent was getting more and more ferocious, forcing him to be unable to hide anymore. He could not help but be furious. He let go of his hands and feet and used the ancestral Southern Fist. His fists were like thunder and lightning, and his feet were like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. After a few rounds, he knocked down the three criminals to the ground.
The matter did not end there. The three men and two women retreated to the school gate and quickly called over a group of unidentified people. The one-armed Grandpa Wang, who was sent by the school guard, was so scared that he hurriedly closed the door. The gangsters gathered at the school gate and shouted, throwing stones at the campus. More and more people gathered around, and the school gate was surrounded. The criminals were furious and launched an attack. The door was knocked loudly, and it looked like it was about to be pushed open. Seeing Yao Shunru's extraordinary skills, Stone seemed to have a backbone. Perhaps he thought that this disaster was caused by himself. It was a blessing and not a disaster. If it was a disaster, he could not avoid it and he could not shrink back.
Therefore, he used a towel to bandage his wound and gathered his fair-weather friends again. He gathered around Yao Shunru with a wooden stick in his hand and said,"Brother Shunru, thank you for saving me. I am extremely grateful and will definitely thank you in the future. Since the disaster was caused by me, I will not run away. The brothers present are determined to fight to the death with them.”
"You don't have to thank me. They actually chased me to the campus after they committed murder. They're bullying us too much. It seemed that this group of people were all outlaws. They came prepared and did not come with good intentions. Take a solid wooden stick and I'll see how powerful they are.”Yao Shunru said.
A group of hot-blooded youths gathered around Yao Shunru. Someone handed a thick wooden stick to Yao Shunru. At this moment, Principal Zhu, Director Chu, and a few teachers had also arrived at the field. Principal Zhu warned everyone not to act rashly and try to minimize the big issues and small issues to avoid fighting. Then, he walked to the door and shouted,""Young friends outside, please calm down…Please calm down. I am the principal. Please listen to me clearly. If you have any requests, please state them. We can discuss them. I can make decisions for you. Fighting can't solve problems. Everything can be discussed…"
"I order you to hand over the hooligan who molested women! Hand over the murderer! I have nothing to discuss with you…Get lost…Ancestor of Alarinong…" There was a burst of hysterical shouting outside the school gate. From the sound of the shouting, it was obvious that it was not the accent of a Shanghai native.
" You have to listen to advice and be reasonable…" Principal Zhu shouted at the top of his lungs. He was in his fifties and seemed a little powerless. This was obviously playing the lute to a cow. When a scholar encountered a soldier, he could not explain it with reason. The criminal outside the door became even more complacent and slammed the door hard.
" Don't mess around... Let's talk things out... Everything can be discussed... Don't be arrogant... We have hundreds of people, you can't beat us... We have already called the police... The police will be here soon..." Professor Chu saw that the soft approach didn't work, so he used force. He opened his throat and shouted in high spirits, trying to make them retreat. Who knew that this group of outlaws wouldn't be persuaded at all.
" Open the door if you have the guts…Ala wants to wash you motherf * ckers with blood…Ala's ancestors…Charge…Charge…" There was a commotion, and the door was slammed. Everyone became very nervous.
" Young man…You're messing around…You can't solve the problem…You won't have a good ending…You have to calm down and think twice about everything…" Principal Zhu still tried to persuade them.
" Si Nong's mother…mother…Ri Nong's mother-in-law…charge…charge…" The door let out a loud bang and a cracking sound. Seeing that the door was about to be knocked open, the students were all ready.
Fortunately, someone had already called the police. Suddenly, a sharp whistle was heard and a team of police officers ran over. The police separated the gang and advised them not to cause trouble at school and to leave immediately. Unexpectedly, this group of outlaws became angry out of embarrassment. They turned to attack and provoke the police, trying to snatch the police's weapons, causing a riot. The police had no choice but to shoot at the sky and subdue the three men and two women in the lead. The rest scattered and fled. The police handcuffed the five troublemakers and escorted them back to the Hongkou police station. They also brought Yao Shunru, Shi Guangyao, and the one-armed prince who was guarding the door back to the police station to assist in the investigation and make a statement.
It was really easy to find. If you want to know what will happen next, please read the next chapter.
