Chapter 238 Liar
Albert's trial lecture was a success.
All the students in the orphanage are asleep.
Only Sir Alex Sitting in the last row listened very carefully and even asked some insightful questions.
Albert on the podium was also helpless. Could this man be here to entertain the family?
In Albert's opinion, what he talked about was very basic, and any adult should master the corresponding skills and knowledge.
After all, this is a lesson for orphans.
There was only one teacher here before, and he was still half-assed.
But the lordship pretended to be attending the lecture for the first time, and the questions he asked were very tricky, making Albert confused as to what was going on.
Or, Sir Alex is a guy who is proficient in mathematics and physics, but has a bad taste and wants to make fun of himself.
Or, Sir Alex is coming into contact with these things for the first time, but he is a genius.
Of the two possibilities, Albert preferred the former.
In any case, Albert felt a little heavy when he finished the trial lecture.
He was already three months in arrears with his rent, and his long-overdue graduation thesis had been delayed again and again. The double blow of academic work and life made the young man physically and mentally exhausted, and he even had the idea of returning to his hometown.
Albert didn't have any hope of getting the job.
When he finished speaking, Mr. Ludden, who had been reading the newspaper, finally put down the newspaper and nodded slightly.
"That's good. Let's talk about the price."
"What?"
Albert couldn't believe his ears. He didn't expect that the other party was actually willing to hire him!
If he could get a tutoring job, it would be a turning point in Albert's life!
"Well, let's talk about the price!"
The prince put away his notes and looked at Albert seriously. He was very satisfied with this tutor.
"You need to be my personal tutor, tutor me in mathematics, physics, and astronomy, and come to the orphanage three times a week to give lessons to the children."
Luden corrected,
"You only have to come once a week."
Sister Fessey was worried that the children slept too long in class and were unwilling to sleep well at night.
For Luden, having Albert as his first teacher was a bit too extravagant.
What's more, Albert may not be a qualified enlightenment teacher.
Just look at the children sleeping on the table.
Albert suppressed his inner joy and tentatively reported a number.
"Look, what do you think of 5?"
He wanted to say 5 shillings.
The prince nodded and activated his passive ability,
"Five pounds, no problem!"
Albert's breath tightened, a little unbelievable,
"weekly?"
The prince frowned slightly,
"Every day!"
Albert:.
After making sure that the other party was not entertaining him, Albert grimaced, shook his head and said,
"This is too much money, sir, you are a generous gentleman, but I can't do such a thing"
Despite the difficult situation, Albert still has his own bottom line.
Of course, he will not write the bottom line on his face or add it to his name, but will use actions to prove that he has a bottom line.
"Take it."
Luden, who had already picked up the newspaper again, persuaded Albert to change his mind with one sentence,
"You don't need to be a tutor for too long."
Albert was stunned and quickly understood what Mr. Ludden meant.
He looked at the prince with a somewhat surprised look.
Could it be that the other party is really a genius?
The prince didn't feel anything strange at all, and was concentrating on writing and drawing in his notebook.
After a few minutes, Sir Alex laughed happily and said,
"Dean, guess what I discovered, the square of the long side of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two short side numbers!"
Luden, who was reading the newspaper, replied without raising his head,
"That's the Pythagorean theorem, discovered by Liu, a great scholar in China. Come back to me when you invent calculus."
The prince was poured cold water on him, but he didn't care.
In his opinion, a random discovery by himself is not of much value. After all, he is a rookie who has just come into contact with mathematics.
The prince's attention was still writing and drawing on the paper.
Albert, on the other hand, simply signed a teaching contract for two weeks at 5 pounds per day.
After leaving the orphanage, Albert was not immersed in the joy of receiving a huge sum of 5 pounds a day, but was thinking about another problem.
Albert frowned and muttered something,
"What is calculus?"
Luden handed the children to Sister Fessy and went out with the lord.
Now, they are like new best friends, two people with different abilities, wandering around in the foggy city.
Luden is waiting for the next opportunity to become bigger and stronger and create greater glory.
Sir Alex is a winner in life, so idle that it hurts.
Fortunately, with Luden, Sir Alex will always have fun.
Tonight they were going to watch a play, a new play by a famous playwright in Fog City.
This playwright is a member of Miller's Pen Pal Club. He has superb writing skills and, more importantly, is constantly writing.
As a creature like a writer, it is easy for him to gain both fame and fortune, get more than expected from a work, and then be corrupted by money and become a lazy dog.
This dramatist doesn’t!
He overcame the human instinct of laziness, and no matter how many works he created and how much money he made, he still fought on the front line of creation.
Of course, this is also related to his investment failure.
In short, drama writers are extremely productive in order to make a living.
Luden briefly discussed an idea with the other party, and the other party wrote a work overnight. As a sign of respect for creativity, the other party also asked Luden to name the work.
Ludden named the play "Romeo and Juliet" after the male and female protagonists.
At the same time, little Bailey, who walked out of Oliver's orphanage, became the fourth female lead in the play because of a word from the playwright.
For a newcomer who has entered the drama industry less than half a year ago, having such a role is a dream start!
The day Bailey got the role, she used her advance salary to buy a cart full of food and send it back to the orphanage.
She didn't know the real reason why she got the role.
Lucky for her, she just wants to share her success and joy with this place that she can barely call home.
Of course, Luden would be fine with these trivial matters.
He was not looking forward to tonight's drama, but was thinking about other things.
Sitting on an open carriage, the streets on both sides ran backwards, and people kept reaching out to the carriage, wanting to beg for some coins or food.
Suddenly, Luden's thinking was interrupted.
A ragged guy, like a madman, ran after the carriage, slapping the carriage and shouting,
"Sir! Give me another chance! Sir! I will definitely succeed this time!"
The prince was a little impatient and waved his cane, trying to drive away this madman.
"Go away! You're a liar!"
The carriage quickly left the madman behind. Luden looked behind him with interest, turned around and asked,
"Who is that?"
It looks like he is an old acquaintance of the Duke and has a story to tell.
"Ignore him, he is a madman who wants to explore. I prefer to call him a liar! Guess what he told me, the world is round and a ball!"
Sir Alex searched for the other party's name in his memory,
"What's the name of this liar? Columbus! Christopher Columbus from the land of God!"
Chapter completed!
