Chapter 37: Guest

George Bernard Shaw did what he said, and in the following days, he did not invite Lu Shi to create a play.

Lu Shi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He devoted all his time and energy to Guns, Germs, and Steel, and finally completed the final chapters in early December.

At the same time, the time has finally come to teach London students of economics and politics.

……

early morning

London School of Economics and Political Science,

In front of the school gate.

When Nigati Nikolić rode to the school, he found that the school gate was full of people, including many faces.

He threw his elbows into the crowd,

"Let's Jean! Let it all go! ”

No one paid any attention to him.

The crowd is like a dense lump of mercury, which seems to be flowing, but there is no chance to see the stitches at all.

Nikolic made several unsuccessful charges.

At this moment, the voice of Tiri Solomon came from the crowd: "Nigati, why are you here now!?" Professor Lu's lecture is about to start! ”

Nikolic scolded: "I'm from Tower Bridge!" ”

The tower bridge has a limit on opening hours since it was built, and it is not possible to pass through it at any time.

Moreover, the Tower Bridge often has some inexplicable breakdowns, such as raising up to let the boat pass, but it can't be put down, causing traffic to be interrupted, always three or four times a month.

Solomon laughed,

"I'll pick you up!"

He made his way through the crowd to meet Nikolić, then squeezed in the direction of the gate.

There was a lot of talk around them,

"Is it really that Lu?"

"It should be! I have seen photos in the Manchester Guardian, Lu is a Chinese, and the Lu who is going to give a lecture in London today is also Chinese. ”

"I heard that Lu's real name is Ruth, isn't that a woman's name?"

"No, it should be Lu-Zhi——, you idiot, you can't pronounce Chinese name well."

……

There was a commotion.

Only then did Nikolić know what the crowd was here for, and asked Solomon, "Our school doesn't care?" ”

It was too noisy for Solomon to hear.

"What did you just say?"

Nikolic had no choice but to repeat at the top of his voice: "I just asked, why don't we take care of our school?" ”

Solomon rolled his eyes,

"Have you forgotten that our school is now part of the University of London Alliance? Among these people are University College London, Royal Holloway, the School of Arts and Entertainment, and even King's College. ”

Nikolic was stunned,

"The Faculty of Arts and Entertainment is in the University of London Union?"

Solomon was asked,

"Isn't it there?"

"Are you there?"

The two looked at each other.

Then, in unison, they said:

"There's a lot of people from the Arts and Crafts Academy here, so you can't enter!"

"There's a lot of people from the Arts and Crafts Academy here, so you can't enter!"

For a moment, the crowd was quiet, and then they all shifted their targets, focusing on the people of the Arts and Crafts Academy to drive them out.

The pressure on Solomon and Nikolic was suddenly much less, and they nimbly cut through the crowd.

The two finally entered the school and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whew~"

Solomon said: "Originally, Professor Lu's lecture was arranged indoors, but there were so many people who came that they had to be moved to the central square. ”

Nikolić nodded, "Expected." ”

The two continued on their way.

The closer you get to the central square, the more people there are,

But strangely, the students were able to keep the volume up, and the communication was also whispering.

Nikolić asked in a low voice, "Have you prepared any questions?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper full of letters, and shook it before Solomon.

When Solomon looked closely, he saw that the paper was full of questions:

1. Pigs, cows, sheep, and horses are mentioned in the article, so are fish considered domesticated animals? Is it necessary to domesticate fish?

2. Is the long-term doomed theory true?

3. Are germs the root cause of Indian genocide?

……

Nineteen of them.

This is too serious!

Solomon couldn't help but smile, pointed to his temples with a stinky fart, and said, "My problems are all stored here~"

Nikolic went up and punched the other party,

"Pretend!"

At this moment, the teachers of the school came to the square to maintain order.

The students gradually stood in line.

George Bernard Shaw stood under the statue of the Queen, his hands slightly raised.

The scene was instantly silent.

George Bernard Shaw nodded with satisfaction and said, "Today, with the efforts of many parties, especially Sir Wardhouse, we are fortunate to have the founder of the new historiography, Professor Lu, that is, Professor Lu Shi, to give us a lecture. ”

As soon as he said this, there was a round of applause.

George Bernard Shaw raised his hand again.

The applause came to an abrupt end.

George Bernard Shaw continued: "This is a rare opportunity, and I hope that students will listen carefully and think deeply. ”

As he spoke, George Bernard Shaw nodded to the side,

"Professor Lu, please."

Bang Bang Bang –

Applause rang out.

It was very enthusiastic at first, but when Lu Shi himself appeared, it gradually became scarce.

Nikolic said in a low voice: "Although I have long known that Mr. Lu is young, but ...... That's too young, right? Younger than the photos in the newspapers! ”

Solomon complained: "What can you see in those muddled photos in the Manchester Guardian? ”

Not only them, but everyone was surprised.

Although the students know that Lu Shi is an international student, there are many kinds of international students.

For example, Natsume Soseki,

Born in 1867 and studied abroad in 1900, he is 34 years old.

Moreover, this kind of example is very common among East Asian students, so everyone initially thought that Lu Shide was a scholar in his forties.

But now, how do you look like a young man in his twenties?

The discussion began to rise.

Lu Shi coughed,

"Ahem...... Ladies and gentlemen, I know what you are thinking, but in fact, I myself have the same question, why did Mr. Chancellor invite me to be this Rausch guest lecturer? I'm still spicy...... young."

The students below burst into laughter.

Lu Shi spreads his hands,

"Actually, the reason is very simple, that is, my article can be published in the Manchester Guardian, and it allows the Manchester Guardian to quickly open up overseas markets."

As he spoke, Lu Shi stretched out a finger,

"I'll say a number, 7391."

The students were puzzled and looked at each other.

Lu continued: "This figure is the increase in overseas sales of the Manchester Guardian after the publication of my article. Moreover, the reason why this number is only just over 7,000 is because the Manchester Guardian has limited delivery overseas. ”

George Bernard Shaw couldn't help frowning,

"What exactly does Mr. Lu want to do?"

Cheren on the side was also puzzled, and said: "What students hate the most is authority, and it won't be counterproductive to talk about the sales of newspapers?" ”

Sure enough, someone fired a cannon when he was on land,

"You mean, because your article sells well enough, you're right?"

Lu Shi shook his head and said, "No, no, no, no." Newspaper sales just qualified me to stand here. If you still can't understand, then you might as well change your perspective and think about why you can't stand in my place? ”

This is a hornet's nest.

For a time, the crowd was excited.
