British writer

Lu Shi stretched his waist,

"No matter what, the efficiency of a typewriter must be much higher than that of handwriting, and it is also good for the lumbar and cervical spine."

The eyes of the two Brits changed when they saw him,

The atmosphere is weird.

After a while, Scott finally said, "Well... let's continue talking about the topic?"

Lu Shi nodded,

"certainly."

Scott pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Lu, you should know the layout of our "Manchester Guardian". In addition to news editorials, there are also literary reviews and book list recommendations. Next Thursday, we plan to focus on "No Life" return"."

The Scotsman's supplement is on Wednesday, and the Manchester Guardian has a book review the next day.

Obviously, this is a strong alliance of two left-wing newspapers,

A good combination of punches.

Lu Shi didn't agree immediately, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and asked, "What do you need my cooperation for?"

Children can be taught!

The two Britons couldn't help but look at each other, with joy slightly shining in their eyes.

Scott said: "Mr. Lu, you are the author of "There Were None", so I may have to give you a whole page interview. At that time, the photographer will take pictures of you, so we will prepare a more formal suit , and there is..."

He showed an embarrassed and embarrassed expression, his eyes lingering slightly on Lu Shi's braid.

Self-explanatory.

How could Lu Shi not understand, and asked, "Cut your braids?"

Scott touched his nose,

"Feel sorry."

Lu Shi waved his hand and answered the other party: "It's okay, isn't it just to cut off the braid? It's not difficult. Mr. Scott can rest assured."

The foreign students of the Qing court could not understand the language, and they wore braids and coats, which was in stark contrast to foreigners in suits. Walking on the street was a "beautiful landscape" that always attracted foreigners to stop.

And the classmates who attend class with them already look down on them, and wearing these fancy clothes will make them even more excluded,

In order to blend in, there are not a few people who cut their braids.

Scott seemed relieved.

"It's not a gentleman's job to force others to change customs, but for the sake of taking pictures... alas..."

Followed by a series of apologies,

It seems that Natsume Soseki is possessed.

Lu Shi said indifferently: "Alright, alright, Mr. Scott, if there is nothing else, then we will leave."

He nodded to Natsume Soseki beside him,

The latter understood and left his seat.

Cooper and Scott personally sent them outside the gate of the office, put the manuscript fee in an envelope, and handed it to Lu Shi solemnly. Then they bid farewell and stood on the stairs to see them off. Their figures did not move for a long time until Two oriental students got into the carriage,

It looks like two husband-watching stones.

Natsume Soseki couldn't help feeling cold, and gasped: "Hiss..."

Lu Shi laughed loudly,

"What's wrong?"

Natsume Soseki looked puzzled, and said, "I don't know, I just feel that they...they..."

He seemed to be unable to find the right vocabulary for a while.

Lu Shi finished for him: "A little too much?"

Natsume Soseki nodded solemnly.

It is true that for The Scotsman, Lu Shi is the key to increasing sales, and it is only normal for Cooper to be courteous.

But what about Scott?

According to the trend, the "Manchester Guardian", as a rising star, has been able to threaten the status of "The Times" and "Daily Telegraph". Why does the editor-in-chief of such a national newspaper value new writers so much?

I can't understand it...

Lu Shi didn't have any doubts, and said, "Normal. Scott wants to use my identity."

Natsume Soseki was stunned,

Which identity?

writer?

International students?

Chinese?

...

He became more and more puzzled.

Lu Shi continued to explain: "Why do you think Scott asked me to cut my hair?"

Natsume Soseki said: "Assimilate into London society~"

Lu Shi nodded,

"That's right. To put it nicely, it's called 'integrating', and to put it badly, it's called 'appearing to be a normal person'. As a Chinese, the Chinese in this country, which is being ravaged by the Eight-Power Allied Forces, 'look like a normal person'. "

Suddenly, Natsume Soseki widened his eyes,

He reacted.

There are several major events in the British political arena that are turning the world upside down:

women's suffrage,

protective tariff policy,

military expansion,

Anglo-Boer War,

...

On these battlefields, MPs from the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party fought fiercely, and even the "Times", "Daily Telegraph" and "Manchester Guardian" also sparred across the air.

At this time, Lu Shi turned out to be born,

a Chinese,

an international student,

A writer of suspense novels,

His appearance seemed to announce loudly: "Even in a country that has been invaded, the people there are normal."

What's more, several revisions in "None Survived" were all related to Boolean, pointing directly at the barbaric acts of the British during the Anglo-Boer War.

This is full of buffs!

Could there be a better candidate for the Liberal-leaning Manchester Guardian than Lu Shi?

and,

"I'm afraid the Eight-Nation Allied Forces are raging in the capital right now? Maybe it won't be long before the 'good news' will come."

Lu Shi's eyes flickered.

In fact, according to the time, the Forbidden City should have fallen,

However, with the level of communication at the beginning of the 20th century, affected by channel pollution and weak radio waves, the cross-sea telegraph lines were extremely unstable, resulting in a lot of news having to be transmitted manually, and it was normal for the timeliness of news to be delayed by a week, so London Still nothing.

When Natsume Soseki looked at Lu,

Suddenly, he said in a tone of disgust and contempt: "British people are really arrogant... Hehe... Look like a normal person... a normal person..."

normal and abnormal,

civilization and barbarism,

How can the British define it?

What is the difference between the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party?

It's ridiculous that one of the tenets of the "Manchester Guardian" is: to be absolutely independent and not subject to party affiliation.

Natsume Soseki muttered to himself, "Shit!"

Lu Shi patted him on the shoulder and said: "Wolfs, tigers, leopards, eagles, lions, and snakes, even putting on a layer of human skin can't cover up the greed in your heart. I still say the same thing, 'talk is all about doctrine, and heart is all about business' , they only think about fame and fortune."

"..."

"..."

"..."

For a while, the two were speechless.

After a while, Natsume Soseki spoke again: "Sensational Mud Private Marseille!"

He knelt down in the cramped space of the carriage.

The third time in recent days.

Lu Shi couldn't help feeling helpless, and said, "That's fine, it's none of your business."

Natsume Soseki shook his head,

"No, I have to apologize for my country. And, you should know that without the 200 million taels of silver, the Ministry of Education would not have the financial resources to expand the scale of Japan's overseas study, and I might not be able to come."

200 million taels of silver,

This is the amount of reparations under the Treaty of Shimonoseki,

Because the Eight-Power Allied Forces were mentioned just now, Japan also had a role, so Natsume Soseki apologized.

Lu Shi pulled him up,

"Your apology is useless. I cannot accept your apology on behalf of China. Besides, you..."

He hesitated to speak.

In fact, Natsume Soseki was a super black boy of the Meiji government all his life, the kind who sprayed at every turn,

Moreover, he is different from others, he is really anti-war, not "anti-war defeat\

,"Such a person is beyond reproach.

But those things happened after Natsume Soseki returned to China, Lu Shi couldn't say anything.

He changed the subject and said, "We are both international students, so we need to be united."

Natsume Soseki nodded frantically,

The future great writer seemed to be limp by being fooled.

This book has been signed and can be eaten with confidence.
