Everyone in the conference room was stunned and looked at this uninvited guest.

Dean of All Souls College, John Weeks?

What's going on?

How did he know that Li Mu graduated today?

Well, it's not hard to understand.

Because they apply for Li Mu's graduation certificate, they still need to apply to the school, which means that the school already knows about it.

So John Weeks was not surprised to learn about this.

But the key question is, why would he come over at such a time and invite Li Mu to become a professor at the Academy of All Souls?

Everyone was a little puzzled.

Of course, Martin Taylor, who was also the dean of Merton College, walked out, squinted at John Weeks, and said, "Weeks, what do you want to do?" ”

"Are you coming to Merton College to rob someone?"

Wicks said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, where am I robbing people, after all, Dr. Li has not officially joined your academy, and we are now fair competition." ”

"So, it's up to Dr. Li to do his own thing."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Li Mu, "Dr. Li, what do you think?" ”

Everyone immediately looked at Li Mu.

Indeed, although it is a bit immoral for John Weeks to suddenly run over at such a time, no matter what, it does depend on Li Mu's choice in the end.

All Souls College, in the University of Oxford, has a very special status, and can be called the first college in Oxford.

Although Merton College is also very special, it is still slightly inferior in terms of reputation.

It's just that in the face of everyone's eyes, Li Mu is actually the most confused.

Why did Dean John Weeks come running over all of a sudden?

The only time he met this dean was when it was raining heavily, he ran out for a stroll, and finally entered the Academy of All Souls by chance, and met with him—

Oh!

Li Mu suddenly remembered that John Weeks invited him to join the Academy of All Souls, but he refused at that time.

This would explain why John Weeks is here again today.

After all, people have already had this plan!

Li Mu shook his head helplessly, and then said to John Weeks: "I'm sorry, Dean Weeks, I appreciate your invitation, but I'm more familiar with Merton College, so ......"

"All I can say is sorry."

Martin Taylor immediately laughed, stepped forward and patted John Weeks on the arm, and said, "Look, this is our people, not your people, old John, give up." ”

Around, the professors of the other Merton Academy also had smiles on their faces, and they all nodded at Li Mu.

It's our people!

"Well, it looks like plan A has failed."

However, for Li Mu's refusal, John Weeks's face only showed a slight regret, and then he laughed again and said to Li Mu: "So, I don't know Dr. Li, would you like to become a professor at our Academy of All Souls at the same time?" ”

The Merton College professors, who were still smiling just now, and the dean, Martin Taylor, were stunned for a moment.

What?

Wanling Academy didn't care that Li Mu had already agreed to be a professor in their academy, and still continued to invite Li Mu to be their professor?

That's a bit rare.

At the University of Oxford, very few people are able to hold a teaching position in two colleges at the same time, basically only in one college.

Because these colleges generally have their own temperaments and personalities.

When people agree to join an academy, they won't pull down their faces and invite others to join their own academy.

And now, as the most special college of Oxford University, today he actually lowered his face, and after Li Mu had already agreed to become a professor at Merton College, he actually invited him to serve as their professor at the same time.

Of course, Li Mu also knew the meaning of this matter, so he said with some surprise: "Dean Wix, are you sure? ”

Martin Taylor also frowned and said, "Old John, are you sure you're not joking, will the rest of your academy agree?" ”

"Of course I mean it." John Weeks waved his hand: "As for whether the rest of our academy will agree or not, you don't need to worry, I am the dean, and I have the final say." ”

"Moreover, Simon Downers is currently the only professor of mathematics in our college, and with the status of mathematics in the academic world, I don't think that's enough."

"What's more...... Dr. Lee is also a world-renowned physicist. ”

John Weeks looked at Li Mu with a smile.

"We in the Academy of All Souls need talents like you."

The other Merton professors looked at each other.

Yes, in addition to Li Mu's great achievements in mathematics, he can already be called a founding master in physics.

The discovery of the fundamental force, the dimensional force, which is known as the fundamental force, has made the entire physics community crazy, and its status is independent of quantum mechanics and relativity, and it is the third theoretical direction in addition to quantum mechanics and relativity.

And Li Mu, as the founder of the theory of dimensional forces, of course, also belongs to the grandmaster-level figure.

With such an identity, it is enough for him to serve as a faculty member of two colleges at the same time.

For a moment, the people of Merton College all glanced at each other.

Until the end, Martin Taylor looked at Li Mu and gave advice: "Lee, since Wicks has said so, then, I think it is also very good for you to promise him, at least it is a good thing for you." ”

"But ......" Suddenly Martin Taylor turned his head to look at John Weeks again: "Don't tell me what kind of teaching position can Li Mu be given by All Souls Academy, just an associate professor, not a full professor." ”

At the mention of this, others also nodded.

"Yes, you have to be a full professor, not an associate professor, or you can't go."

In the UK, there are actually two professor-level titles, one is full professor, and below that, there is an associate professor.

Generally, those who can become associate professors are rated as professors when they go to other countries, but in the UK, because each university here strictly controls the number of professors, sometimes there are only one or two full professors in a major in a college to ensure their absolute authority in the college.

So, associate professors have emerged, and if an associate professor wants to become a full professor, he or she often has to wait until the full professor retires or resigns before he can be promoted.

Although associate professors are also highly respected, they are still inferior in status compared to full professors.

Now that Li Mu is their person, of course they have to fight for the corresponding interests for Li Mu.

However, then John Weeks laughed: "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about this matter, the full professor prepared for Li Mu by All Souls Academy must be a full professor, just like I said just now, there is only one full professor of mathematics in All Souls College, Simon Deyes, and he also raised his hands to welcome Li Mu." ”

"Therefore, Li Mu will definitely become the second full professor of mathematics in our Pansoul College, and of course, by the way, he will also be a full professor of physics."

"Anyway, didn't you let Li Mu concurrently serve as your full professor of physics by the way?"

Speaking of this, John Weeks raised his eyebrows and said to Martin Taylor with a smile.

Martin Taylor said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, of course our academy will not forget this kind of thing." ”

"Haha, that's good, then I won't say more."

John Weeks turned his head and said to Li Mu, "So, Dr. Li...... Oh, I'll just call out Professor Li in advance, and after you finish dealing with this matter, I'll be waiting for you at the Academy of All Souls. ”

Then he left with a smile.

When I went out, I took the door of the conference room with me.

Martin Taylor pouted, this guy is weirdly polite.

But finally, there were no outsiders in this room.

Subsequently, he also looked at Li Mu again and resumed his solemnity.

"Alright, Lee, then I'll officially send you an offer on behalf of Merton Academy."

He also took out a letter of appointment that had been prepared a long time ago from under the conference table, and then walked up to Li Mu and handed the letter of appointment to him with both hands: "Are you willing to accept the offer to be a full-time professor at Merton College, University of Oxford?" ”

Looking down at the exquisite letter of appointment, Li Mu took it with a smile.

"Of course, it's my pleasure."

In the conference room, there was warm applause again.

The people of Merton College celebrated that their college had welcomed a great new colleague.

A few more professors, I don't know where to find a few more spray flowers, sprayed at Li Mu, and a large number of ceremonial flower ribbons fell on him, making him cry and laugh.

And Andrew Wiles also walked up to him, stretched out his hand to him, and said with a smile: "Welcome to Merton College, Professor Li, we will be colleagues from now on." ”

Looking at Wiles, who was his mentor a few minutes ago and now has become his colleague, Li Mu sighed for a while that the world is impermanent, and then he also smiled and stretched out his hand: "Thank you, Professor Wiles, please take care of me in the future." ”

……

From the student days to the professor era at once.

It was indeed quite sudden for Li Mu.

Of course, it is unexpected and reasonable.

With his academic achievements, this is normal, or rather normal for every genius.

Like Peter Schulz, he was hired as W3 professor at the University of Bonn immediately after graduating with his Ph.D., the highest-ranking professor in Germany.

It's just a slight difference that Li Mu not only became a full professor at Merton College, but also a full professor at All Souls College.

And in terms of his age, he is also the youngest full professor in the history of the entire Oxford University, not to mention, a full professor in two colleges.

As the news broke, it first caused a boil throughout the UK.

英国人们向来骄傲于他们拥有牛津大学和剑桥大学这两所世界著名的大学，而现在得知了这件事情，顿时就带来了各种各样的讨论。

"Hey, did you hear that? The University of Oxford hired a Chinese man named Li Mu to become their youngest full professor ever! He is even a full professor at All Souls College and Merton College! ”

"Oh! My God, the young man who just proved Goldbach's conjecture? It's unbelievable! ”

Such conversations have become almost daily in Britain these days.

As an old rival of Oxford University, Cambridge University appealed after knowing about this incident: "Li Mu, Oxford is not worth your joining, come and join us Cambridge!" This is the place to walk out of Newton, the best place for a genius like you to use your talents! ”

Even Trinity College, which had walked out of Newton, sent an invitation directly to Li Mu, and even promised that as long as Li Mu stayed in Trinity College long enough, they were willing to grant Li Mu the honorary position of Lucas Chair Professor.

The Lucas Chair Professor is a special position at the University of Cambridge, a position that can only be filled by people of sufficient prestige and ability, such as Newton, Hawking, Dirac, and others.

And now Cambridge University is willing to take out this honorary position to attract Li Mu to join, which immediately caused the entire UK to boil again.

BCC announced in the news on the same day: [Oxford and Cambridge have been conquered by Li Mu! 】

And the Times also commented: [The influence of the genius of the century! 】

Various newspapers have carried about it.

The Sun, Britain's most famous gossip newspaper, has an even more novel angle: [A handsome genius from the East, what kind of relationship history does he have? 】

Of course, the news didn't just spread in the UK, it quickly spread around the world.

For a while, those doctoral students who had sighed at why Li Mu hadn't graduated yet suddenly celebrated.

[Oh! Oh my God! He's finally graduated! 】

[Finally, I don't feel like a waste anymore!] 】

[Dear Professor Li, congratulations on becoming a professor!] Let's get ordinary doctoral students out of the sea of suffering! 】

God knows how much pressure Li Mu put on them when he was still a doctoral student.

Who has ever seen such a PhD student?

Graduate early, hurry.

……

In this way, Li Mu's simple completion of his business has attracted all kinds of attention from all over the world.

But for him himself, he was a little powerless to complain at this time.

"Slander! This is slandering me! ”

slapped the "Sun" newspaper in his hand on the table with a "snap".

Li Mu scolded.

Damn, this "Sun" is really messed up.

actually compiled his relationship history in the newspaper, saying that he had left a lot of love debts in the past.

It's not even the first installment, it's the second installment.

It is estimated that there are many readers who are interested in the first issue, so I continued to write the second issue.

Isha was also on the side, and she asked, "You mean, everything written in the Sun is fake?" ”

This newspaper was brought by her, and Li Mu usually has no habit of reading newspapers, so he can't pay attention to this matter, otherwise, he would have reported it as early as the first issue.

"Of course."

Li Mu nodded: "I didn't know I knew so many girls." ”

The person who almost made him, the mother and fetus single until now, really thinks that he has that kind of talent at the level of love saint.

"What Rukia, what Alice...... It's all made up. ”

Wind criticism was killed.
