Chapter 26: Absurdity

Nikolić and Solomon were already friends, and now they found out that each other was a fan of "No One Left Behind", so they naturally couldn't help but discuss the plot.

It was so hot that they didn't know until they were grumbling with hunger that they had been deserted all morning.

The two hurried to eat something and rode back to school.

London Economics was originally not located on King's Road, but at 9 John Street in Adelphi, until more disciplines were opened and Adelphi's campus could not accommodate the entire college, and the Council chose to move.

Nikolić and Solomon enter the school gate,

They had just walked a few steps to the teaching building when they were blocked by two groups of people in front of them.

There were no less than fifty on both sides,

As far as the eye can see, the vast expanse is full of heads.

Words could be heard in the crowd, such as "Sherlock Holmes", "Lu", "No One Left Alive", ......

You don't have to guess to know that because of the book review edition of the Manchester Guardian, "No One Left Alive" has entered the house, and it has the ability to compete with "The Hound of the Baskervilles" in terms of public opinion.

Solomon was slightly excited,

"Unexpectedly, that version of the book review was still an article."

The text refers to the ancient documents used for proclamation, conscription, denunciation, etc., especially the documents that denounce the enemy or rebellion, and also refers to the militant criticism and denunciation articles.

Nikolić instantly realized,

"I was so excited just now, it turned out to be like this."

They squeezed into the crowd.

The two groups are arguing about the sales of "The Hound of the Baskervilles" and "No One Survives."

Although Doyle has more fans, it is already an indisputable fact that he eats his old book.

And Lu is a rising star, and the future is promising.

One of the two is going downhill, the other is climbing upward, running in both directions, and it is self-evident who has higher sales in the end.

Finally, someone on the side who supported Sherlock Holmes broke the defense,

He exclaimed, "Are you people sick?" No matter how high the sales of "No One Survived" can be? Does the newspaper give you a penny? By the way, I'm not a Sherlock Holmes reader, I just don't like you. ”

This speech can be said to be a classic of classics, which is about the same as the modern rice circle starting style:

Pure passers-by, not fans.

When this trick is used, it is no different from lying on the ground and rolling around.

Nikolic snorted coldly: "Then I will return the original words." Are you people sick? How high the sales of "The Hound of the Baskervilles" can be? Do magazines give you a penny? By the way, I'm not a reader of "No One Survives", I just see that you guys are unhappy. ”

The effect of using magic against magic is very good,

The person on the other side began to curse.

The two groups of people became more and more excited, approaching each other, squeezing each other's standing space, and looking to fight.

At this time, a serious voice sounded: "What are you doing!?" ”

And the people turned back,

I saw a middle-aged man about forty years old standing there with a pipe in his mouth.

He did not have a gentleman's beard, but covered his entire chin with a beard, which was enough to make him stand out from the average English gentleman.

Immediately someone recognized him,

"Mr. Superintendent."

The Governor is the Chairman of the Council of Commonwealth Colleges and Universities, and is responsible for presiding over the Council and Graduation Ceremony, as well as determining the long-term vision of the University.

The Chancellor of London Economics was George Bernard Shaw,

He has another familiar name -

George bernard shaw.

George Bernard Shaw separates students,

"Didn't you have any classes?"

If it were modern times, the students would definitely be scattered, each going back to his own home and looking for his own mother.

However, the year 1900 was an era of collision of ideas, and students adhered to the principle of "I love my teacher, and I love the truth even more", and "contradicted" the teacher because of discussions.

They did not disperse, but surrounded George Bernard Shaw,

twittering

Rushes

Put words into somebody's mouth

……

Finally got things clear.

George Bernard Shaw has one head and two large.

He is also half a media person, having worked in journalism and writing many reviews on music and theatre for The Star and The Saturday Review.

Therefore, he must have known about the salon at the headquarters of the Times, and had also heard of Lu Shi's remarks.

"Stop!"

George Bernard Shaw waved his hand, took a copy of the Manchester Guardian, and flipped to the book review page.

Immediately, the corners of his mouth hooked an arc,

"Clever."

It can be seen that he is approving of the Manchester Guardian's approach to making trouble.

Solomon said, "Mr. Superintendent, what do you think of the level of No One Left Alive?" Is it better than The Hound of the Baskervilles? ”

George Bernard Shaw was a realist dramatist who had already made a name for himself.

Doyle and Lu Shi are popular novelists,

In 1900, the relationship between the two was roughly equal to that of traditional literature and online literature, and there was a clear chain of contempt.

George Bernard Shaw frowned,

Under the influence of Ibsen, he consistently opposed Wilde's view of "art for art's sake" and vigorously advocated a new drama with the main purpose of discussing social issues.

This caused him to be not interested in Lu Shi, because Lu Shi said in the salon that he admired Wilde.

George Bernard Shaw was noncommittal, and casually flipped through the newspaper,

Unexpectedly, an article unexpectedly attracted his attention,

The main title is "The Clash of Cajamarca"

The subtitle is "Why the Inca Empire Didn't Defeat Spain, but Was Conquered by Spain"

George Bernard Shaw muttered to himself, "What a controversial subtitle...... Hum...... The author seems to be hinting at something. ”

He continued to read back with curiosity.

As a result, the big article just threw out questions and answered them in general terms without dissecting them in detail.

The article obviously has a follow-up, but it is limited by space and cannot be written.

But in any case, the author is an interdisciplinary scholar who has studied history, geography, politics, economics, and biology.

Just looking at the level of this article, it is more than enough to come to London to teach politics and economics.

George Bernard Shaw became more and more curious, and looked at the author's column,

There is clearly printed a pen name with only two letters:

Lu。

George Bernard Shaw was stunned.

According to the chain of contempt, dramatists > popular novelists, but this does not mean that the front end of the chain has come to an end.

For example, political commentators who write for newspapers are undoubtedly ahead of dramatists.

"Goo~"

George Bernard Shaw swallowed,

Although I had long heard that Lu Shi had been asked to write by the Manchester Guardian and the Daily Telegraph, it was still unbelievable that the article would appear in the newspaper so quickly.

He asked, "Is the author of No One Left Alive?" Lu?" ”

Everyone nodded in unison.

Some Sherlock Holmes fans were anxious and said: "Mr. Supervisor, the quality of "No One Survived" is very average, and the sales are not good......

George Bernard Shaw couldn't help but laugh,

"You guys...... Guarding the gold mine but not knowing how to dig. ”

He pointed out the article to the students.

For a moment, silence swept through.

In the midst of this silence, George Bernard Shaw began to think about the thought that had just come to him—

Let Lu Shi give a guest lecture.

After the merger of London politics and economics into the University of London Alliance, it is about to usher in expansion, and the disciplines that have been put on the agenda include geography, philosophy, international relations, history, law, psychology, and sociology.

Teachers are required for these subjects.

But Lu Shi's identity is an international student, or a Chinese,

Wouldn't it seem too ridiculous to let him sit as a guest, even if he doesn't have a fixed teaching position, just to give a few lectures?
