Cattle!

Saliva!

Big!

Learn!

The whole room was quiet.

Lu Shi was also a little stunned, stood in place, was stunned for half a second before reacting, made a way, and said, "Mr. West, please." ”

West saluted again gentlemanly and entered the room.

His gaze lingered on Phyllis for a moment,

"Princess Anne?"

Phyllis nodded stiffly,

"Hello, sir."

West knew that Lu Shi was the playwright Lu who wrote "Roman Holiday", so he didn't think there was anything wrong with the heroine Phyllis appearing in Braia Road, so he didn't ask more curiously.

He put down his hat, took off his gloves, and sat down gracefully.

Lu Shi coughed lightly,

"Mr. West, what did you just say...... Degree? ”

West replied with a smile: "Mr. Lu admires Mr. Wilde's work, and at the same time is his best friend, and should know that he graduated from Magdalen College, Oxford. So, how much does Mr. Lu know about Magdalen College? ”

Lu Shi didn't know much,

In addition to Wilde, he only knew that Edward VIII, the second king of the House of Windsor, attended Magdalen College,

But Edward VIII became king in January 1936.

This is certainly not to be said.

Lu Shi was silent.

West also did not expect a Chinese who had crossed the ocean to learn more about the history of Oxford and help solve the siege: "Magdalen College is a glorious college with many famous people. A romantic person like Mr. Lu can get an honorary degree. ”

It's quite common to give degrees to people outside of the school.

For example, after Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, he was awarded the title of Honorary Fellow by Regent's Park College, Oxford University, and announced the establishment of an international writing center named after Mo Yan.

Mr. Mo is directly an academician, and Lu Shi is just an honorary degree.

The two are insignificant.

West dusted off his coat and waited quietly,

He believes that no one can refuse an olive branch from Oxford.

However, to his surprise, Lu Shi still didn't speak.

The room was unusually quiet, except for the faint sound of breathing, and then the sound of my generation's "purring", which seemed to be a little harsh.

“……”

“……”

“……”

Time passes slowly.

West didn't expect this to be the unfolding, and he couldn't sit still, and said, "What is there to hesitate about Mr. Lu?" Could it be ...... Ah, I see. Mr. Lu rest assured, I am the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford, and the invitation is valid. ”

The University of Oxford, similar to the University of London, consists of more than forty autonomous colleges.

The five vice-presidents head the central executive branch.

West's power is certainly enough.

Lu Shi waved his hand again and again,

"Mr. West misunderstood. You know, I'm currently sitting in London as a guest in politics and economics, and I promise you that, it's a little inappropriate. ”

His heart is like a mirror,

The University of Oxford will award itself an honorary degree, nothing more than for those works,

Humanities and social sciences popular science works "Guns, Germs and Steel",

Novel "No One Survives",

Poems "Generation", "Answer",

The play "Yes! Prime Minister", "Roman Holiday".

In anyone's eyes, Lu Shi is undoubtedly a literary all-rounder and a geek, and he is so prolific that it is rare in the world.

In addition, there is a layer of buff when it is land-

Birth.

He is a Chinese.

Is there anything crazier for a Chinese, writing in English?

That's why the University of Oxford wants to award Lu Shi an honorary degree.

Once successful, then in the future, when editing Wikipedia or Baidu Encyclopedia, Lu Shi's name will appear in the column of honorary alumni, and he will be honored.

This abacus hit, and the beads are almost stretched on the face.

Lu Shi is not averse to this exchange of interests, but he is already in London politics and economics, and George Bernard Shaw has the grace of knowing him, so it is impossible for him to do anything in Cao Ying's heart and Han.

Taking a step back, University College London and London Economics of the University of London Alliance will be among the G5 in the future, and they are not bad.

West didn't expect to be politely rejected,

He pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Lu, London Politics and Economics has only been established for the fifth year, and it has just been merged into the University of London Alliance, and it has not even issued an undergraduate degree, so why should you bother to drill the horns?" ”

Lu Shi lowered his head and thought about what to say.

As a result, before he could speak, there was a sudden knock on the door of Braia Road.

Natsume Soseki was surprised,

"It's the third time today."

He went over and opened the door, and soon another old gentleman came in.

West's eyes shrank, and he got up to greet the other party: "Duke Devonshire, why are you here?" ”

The Duke of Devonshire was also obviously stunned when he saw West, and then bowed slightly in the direction of Lu Shi and said, "I'm here to visit Mr. Lu." ”

As he spoke, he turned to the land,

"Hello Mr. Lu, I am Spencer Cavendis, Chancellor of the University of Cambridge. I've heard that you're coming to London to study abroad, but you don't have a school or college to settle down in......"

Oxford is not over yet,

Another Cambridge.

And this beginning is the same as West's, wouldn't it be that Lu Shi will also be awarded an honorary degree?

Everyone in the room couldn't help but hold their breath.

Unexpectedly, Cavendish's next words shocked everyone,

He said: "Our Watson College in Cambridge can award Mr. Lu the title of Honorary Fellow, I wonder if Mr. Lu intends to do so? ”

As soon as these words came out, West couldn't sit still,

"Academician!?"

Cavendish smiled and nodded,

"Yes, it's academician."

In fact, he was also going to confer an honorary degree on Lu Shi, but seeing West's presence and knowing that he was one step late, he immediately increased his weight and promised Lu Shi the title of honorary academician.

Anyway, with the literary, innovative and influential nature of Lu Shi's works, the qualifications are definitely enough.

West's face was a little ugly,

Oxford's degree is certainly popular, but it can't be compared with Cambridge's academicians.

He gritted his teeth and said to Lu Shi: "Mr. Lu, we can also ......"

He was only halfway through his sentence when Cavendish interrupted, "Mr. West, you'd better not make promises. Don't forget, you don't have the most privileges in your hands. ”

For the vast majority of UK universities, the Chancellor is an almost "nominal" figure who is not involved in the day-to-day operations.

Therefore, the real power is often in the hands of the vice president.

This is true for the University League of London, Oxford, and Cambridge.

However, the title of Honorary Fellow is very important, which is equivalent to being guaranteed by the university, providing a scholar with credibility endorsement and scientific research endorsement, so it needs to be nominated by the school supervisor or multiple directors, and then voted by the graduate committee.

In this situation, West could not make any promises to Lu Shi.

His face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "Mr. Lu, I can discuss the matter of honorary academicians with the school supervisor. Rest assured, he will say yes, and he will agree to give you a guest lecture at Oxford. ”

It's been added again,

In addition to the title of Honorary Fellow, there are also guest lectures.

In short, you can't let Lu Shi go to Cambridge.

Cavendish snorted coldly,

"Guest speakers? We at Worthon College are going to offer writing and translation classes recently, and Mr. Lu is in good time. ”

Directly upgrade from lectures to classes,

The University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge were rolled up because of the land time!
