British writer

Nikolic and Solomon were originally friends, and now they found out that the other party was a fellow fan of "And There Were None", so they couldn't help but discuss the plot.

Due to the enthusiasm, they didn't realize that the whole morning had been wasted until their stomachs growled with hunger.

The two quickly ate something and rode back to school.

LSE was not originally located on King's Road, but at 9 John Street, Adelphi. It was not until more subjects were opened that Adelphi's campus could not accommodate the entire college, and the council chose to move.

Nikolic and Solomon entered the school gate,

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

There were no less than fifty people on both sides,

Looking around, the vast expanse is full of heads.

Words such as "Sherlock Holmes", "Lu", "None Survived" were vaguely heard from the crowd...

You don't need to guess, because "Manchester Guardian" book review edition, "There Were None" entered the room, and 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 a call-to-action essay."

Xiwen refers to documents used in ancient times for edicts, conscripts, and denunciations, especially documents denouncing enemies or rebellion, and also refers to articles of strong criticism and denunciation.

Nikolic instantly understood,

"Just now, my blood was boiling with excitement. So that's what happened."

They squeeze into the crowd.

The two groups of people are in full swing, discussing the sales of "The Hound of the Baskervilles" and "And There Were None".

Although Doyle has more fans, it is an indisputable fact that he is living on his laurels.

And Lu is a rising star with a promising future,

One of the two is going downhill, the other is climbing up, and they are going in both directions. It is self-evident who has the higher sales in the end.

Finally, someone who supported Holmes broke the defense,

He said loudly: "Are you people sick? No matter how high the sales volume of "And There Were None" is so high? Does the newspaper give you a penny? By the way, I am not a Sherlock Holmes reader, I just see you are not happy. "

This speech can be said to be a classic, which is roughly equivalent to the modern fan circle starting gesture:

Pure passers-by, not fans.

Using this trick is no different from lying on the ground and rolling around.

Nikolic snorted coldly: "Then I'll repeat what I said. Are you people sick? No matter how high the sales volume of "The Hound of the Baskervilles" is, so what? Will the magazine give you a penny? That's right. , I am not a reader of "And There Were None", I just see you guys are upset."

Using magic against magic works pretty well,

The person opposite started cursing.

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

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

Everyone turned around,

I saw a middle-aged man in his forties standing there with a pipe in his mouth,

He didn't grow a gentleman's beard, but had a beard that covered his entire chin, which was enough to make him stand out from the average British gentleman.

Immediately someone recognized him,

"Mr. Chancellor."

The Chancellor is the chairperson of the school council of institutions of higher learning in the Commonwealth region, responsible for presiding over the school board and graduation ceremony, and deciding the long-term development vision of the school.

LSE's Chancellor is George Bernard Shaw,

He also has another familiar name——

Bernard Shaw.

Bernard Shaw separated the students,

"Is there no class?"

If it were modern times, the students would definitely scatter like birds and beasts, going back to their respective homes and looking for their respective mothers.

But 1900 was a time when various ideas collided. Students adhered to the principle of "I love my teacher, and I love the truth more", and "contradicting" teachers because of discussions happened from time to time.

Instead of dispersing, they surrounded Bernard Shaw,

twitter,

Talking all over the place,

add oil and vinegar,

...

Finally made things clear.

Bernard Shaw has one head and two big ones.

He is also considered half a media person. He has been engaged in journalism before, and has written many review articles on music and drama for "Star" and "Saturday Review".

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

"Everyone stop first!"

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

Immediately, the corner of his mouth curled into an arc,

"clever."

It can be seen that he approves of the Manchester Guardian's way of doing things.

Solomon said: "Mr. Chancellor, what do you think of "There Were None"? Is it better than "The Hound of the Baskervilles?"

George Bernard Shaw is a well-known realistic dramatist,

Doyle and Lu Shi are popular novelists,

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

Bernard Shaw frowned,

Under the influence of Ibsen, he always opposed Wilde's view of "art for art's sake" and vigorously advocated new dramas with the theme of discussing social issues.

This caused him to be unimpressed with Lu Shi, because Lu Shi said in the salon that he admired Wilde.

Bernard Shaw was noncommittal, flipping forward the newspaper casually,

Unexpectedly, an article unexpectedly attracted his attention,

The main title is "The Conflict in Cajamarca"

The subtitle is "Why the Inca Empire failed to defeat Spain, but was conquered by Spain"

George Bernard Shaw muttered to himself: "What a controversial subtitle... Humph... The author seems to be implying something."

He continued to read with curiosity.

As a result, that big article just raised questions and gave general answers from a high-level plan without analyzing them in detail.

There is obviously a follow-up to the article, but due to space limitations, it cannot be written.

But in any case, the author's sharp writing skills and well-founded analysis are undoubtedly an interdisciplinary scholar who has researched history, geography, politics, economics, and biology.

Just looking at the level of this article, it is more than enough to come to LSE to teach.

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

There was clearly printed a pseudonym, just two letters:

Lu.

Bernard Shaw froze on the spot.

According to the chain of contempt, drama writers\u003epopular 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 ranked ahead of drama writers.

"Gu~"

Bernard Shaw swallowed,

Although it has long been heard that Lu Shi has been hired by the "Manchester Guardian" and "Daily Telegraph", it is still unbelievable that the article will appear in the newspaper so soon.

He asked Si Zhou: "Is the author of "None Survival" Lu?"

Everyone nodded together.

A fan of Sherlock Holmes was anxious, saying: "Mr. Supervisor, the quality of "And There Were None" is very average, and the sales volume is not good..."

Bernard Shaw couldn't help laughing,

"You guys... guard the gold mine but don't know how to dig it."

He pointed out the article to the students.

For a moment, silence swept over.

In this silence, Bernard Shaw began to think about the thought he had just had——

Ask Lu Shi to give lectures as a guest.

After the merger of London Politics and Economics into the University of London Alliance, it will soon usher in expansion. The disciplines that have been put on the agenda include geography, philosophy, international relations, history, law, psychology, and sociology.

These subjects require teachers.

But Lu Shi's identity is an overseas student and a Chinese,

Would it be too absurd to let him be a guest, even without a fixed teaching position, just to give a few lectures?
