Chapter 170: Oxford's Rejection
Zhao Li opened a few rooms in a hotel not far from the school, one for each person, but several people were not interested. gathered in Zhao Li's room together.
"Zhao Li, is it really okay for us to do this?" Xiufang asked.
"Don't worry, I guess we didn't come to their school two days ago, and it just so happens that their school is also in Europe, maybe a little hostile to us, it doesn't matter, it's our fault for defaulting, so we're just waiting here for a day." Zhao Li thought about it for a while and thought about it clearly.
It's really as Zhao Li said, at this time, Elise was also a little angry, and reflected that Zhao Li was invited by the school to give a lecture, and when she went back to look for it worriedly, she really couldn't find Zhao Li. Frightened, she hurriedly reported to the school.
"Everyone understands what Elise said, Zhao Li, I arranged for someone to check, and they live not far from the school now." The headmaster tapped on the table.
As the principal of the school, he is also a little big, if it was a few days ago, he would have liked Zhao Li to come over, but since Zhao Li's lecture in Massachusetts, he has no such thoughts. Oxford is not Massachusetts, there are too many Christians in Oxford, and if Zhao Li is allowed to lecture at the school now, I don't know what will happen.
"Principal, I don't think it's a good thing to let Zhao Li come to lecture now, we finally managed to appease the students, if Zhao Li talks like this again, I'm afraid something will happen." An old man said.
"Yes, principal, since Zhao Li has left, let's just ignore it, anyway, I don't want students to go to any more parades!"
"It's not good, we originally invited Zhao Li over, if we do this, then our school's reputation will be ruined!"
Listening to the deans below, most of them objected to asking Zhao Li to continue lecturing, and the reasons were very strong. The headmaster also patted the table and stood up.
"Okay, that's it. We canceled Zhao Li's lecture this time, and as for Zhao Li, we don't know! “
Xiufang waited for Oxford's reply all day, but unfortunately there was still no news on the phone.
When it was Zhao Li, he leisurely took a book and sat there watching. Until it was dark, Zhao Li also felt Oxford's decision.
"Ziwei, book a ticket to Sydney tomorrow!"
"Ah, Brother Zhao. Don't wait? Ziwei exclaimed.
As Zhao Li's assistant, he is responsible if something goes wrong during the lecture, and now that such a big thing has happened, what he is most afraid of is going back to school and being dealt with.
"Don't worry, the school has me on the top," Zhao Li also patted Ziwei's shoulder clearly and said: "Don't wait, one day is enough for Oxford to make a decision, and now I am not notified I am considered a tacit acquiescence, everyone should keep this tacit understanding." ”
In fact, for Zhao Li. It doesn't matter whether you lecture at Oxford or not, my three lectures in the United States have spread all over the Western world, and the effect of one more or less lecture is almost the same.
"Well, well, I'll book a ticket!" Ziwei sighed.
In fact, it's not that they don't understand, but they still have some expectations.
A few people originally planned to go outside to play in the evening, but Zhao Li did shake his head. His own group has been exposed several times, and he will definitely be recognized when he goes out. You will definitely think of Zhao Li's lecture at Oxford.
After a night in a hotel. Early the next morning, the group rushed to the airport.
"Are you gone?" The headmaster of Oxford asked, looking out the window.
"The people at the hotel said they had just left." The assistant to the principal said in the back.
"Alas, it's a pity, if it's not the wrong situation, it would be very beneficial for our school to invite Zhao Li to come and give a lecture, whether it is his physics or the ancient literature of the East, but it's a pity why would he want to target the church so much in Massachusetts? Doesn't he understand that we in the West have believed in Christ for more than a thousand years? The headmaster sighed.
Other world-famous universities can let Zhao Li give lectures. I really missed this opportunity.
"This could be another religious war, Headmaster!" The assistant thought for a moment before saying.
"Religious wars," the headmaster muttered, "Forget it, have we explained it to the students?" We must not let students make a fuss like they did the other day! ”
Although Zhao Li is gone, he does leave a trouble, you must know that the school also has many students and teachers who support Zhao Li!
"Headmaster, it's all arranged, although some people make trouble, but there are not many of them!" The assistant replied affirmatively.
"That's good," the headmaster breathed a sigh of relief.
On flights from the UK to Sydney.
Zhao Li and several people sat together.
"This is our last stop, and we'll be back home in two days, so good!" Zhao Li said with a smile.
In the past ten days of life abroad, Zhao Li is really a little unaccustomed, it is inconvenient to study and eat, if it is not for lecturing, he really will not come abroad.
"Yes, I'm about to return to China, I used to always want to go abroad, but I didn't expect to find that foreign countries are like that, and they are still not as kind as our motherland." Xiufang sighed.
"People leave their hometowns, not just talk!" Ziwei is now deeply touched by this sentence.
The treatment at Oxford made him still angry, and he came to lecture as a party, and it turned out that Oxford was treated like this.
"Hehe, Ziwei, you're still angry about Oxford, is it worth it?" Zhao Li shook his head and said with a smile: "We have nothing to lose, but it is they who are lost." ”
Zhao Li really didn't take this matter to heart, he gave them a lecture and taught them his own knowledge and experience, they were not happy to forget it, anyway, his task of promoting Confucianism in the West this time had been completed.
"Whew, I'm a little angry, why, we're all at the gate of the campus, which university doesn't welcome us warmly when we are in China, I think Britain is like that, and they are still sinking into the feeling that the sun never set on the empire of centuries ago," Ziwei aired.
This lecture abroad really hit them a little hard, in every university in China there are leaders to pick up and drop-off, there is a reception banquet, but abroad, any soldier can arrange himself.
"Okay, in the future, let's just go to the West less to give lectures," Zhao Li waved his hand.
Everyone fell silent for a while. The flight from the UK to Sydney is a long one, with a total of more than a dozen hours.
In addition to eating two meals on the plane, Zhao Li read books and sometimes slept a little.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane is about to arrive in Sydney, please fasten your seatbelts!" Under the reminder of the broadcast, Zhao Li also woke up from his slumber.
A few minutes later, everyone got off the plane and saluted and walked towards the exit.
"Hello, please show your passport!" A few people who had just finished saluting were stopped by several policemen.
"What, do you still have to check this when you leave the station now?" Xiufang asked curiously.
But he handed over his passport anyway. Zhao Li and several people also handed it over together.
The police in Sydney looked at the passports of several people, and Zhao Li was a little hairy. I couldn't help but say.
"Hey, Mr. Policeman, are you treating us as criminals, I'm Zhao Li, a physical scientist from Huaxia, and I've been invited to give a lecture at the University of Sydney this time."
"Ah, Great Scientist,"
"Zhao Li, I remembered, I'm really embarrassed," the policeman who checked the passport heard this, and then looked at the passport, and immediately remembered Zhao Li.
"It's okay," Zhao Li took the passport with a smile, and suddenly asked curiously: "Mr. Police, is something happening in Sydney, why is it so strict!" ”
may have a very good impression of Zhao Li's big science, and the police also whispered.
"There's really something, it's still about your Huaxia, in recent months, it is rumored that the treasures of your Huaxia Ming Dynasty have been found in our Sydney, so all kinds of people around the world have mixed in, bringing a lot of pressure to our police, and the superiors have asked us to increase the intensity of inspections at the airport and customs!"
"The treasure of the Ming Dynasty is still in Sydney, are you kidding?" Ziwei exclaimed.
The treasures of the Ming Dynasty will be buried in your Australia, which guy released the rumor, and some people still believe it.
"We don't know, but the legend is like this, saying that an emperor named Zhu Yunwen of your Ming Dynasty buried a treasure in our place!" The policeman shook his head.
They officially didn't believe it, could such a big ship cross the sea in the Ming Dynasty at that time. And also the emperor. But the rumors are getting more and more true, attracting the attention of the whole world, and as long as there is news of the treasure these days, everyone is excited, and whoever digs it is who's who.
"Thank you, officer!" Zhao Li said hello and walked towards the exit with the group.
"Zhu Yunwen's treasure, it's a little interesting! (To be continued......)
