Horace Mann School, a private preparatory school in New York, was founded in 1887 and is a member of the Ivy League.
Cooper Rockefeller was a student at this school and a school bully.
His last name gives him this power,
With a bunch of bad friends, they do some annoying things.
It’s around seven o’clock in the morning,
Cooper was half sitting on his desk, playing with a dagger in his hand.
He was very troubled,
“Boring. So boring.”
As he spoke, he nodded to the students at the next table.
“Hey! Western boy!”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present looked at him, looking gloating at his misfortune.
The so-called “western boy” is actually a nickname.
The student’s name was Tyler Bloom, and because he was from Sanban City on the West Coast, Cooper gave him the insulting name.
Cooper cleared his throat.
“Western boy!”
This time, the rest of the students burst into laughter.
Taylor’s face immediately turned red;
However, he had nothing to do with him because his tuition was sponsored by the Rockefeller family.
Since Sir Lu proposed the tax law amendment, American financial groups seem to have become extremely focused on philanthropic causes such as education and medical care.
The foundations and associations that have sprung up like mushrooms are the best proof.
Of course, these organizations are under the supervision of AAAS.
On the other side, Cooper’s face also turned red,
Because of excitement.
He walked over to Taylor’s desk,
“I heard that gambling with knives was very popular in the Wild West? Like… a finger game?”
finger games,
Participants are required to place the palm of their left hand on the wooden table, hold a knife in their right hand, and stab back and forth quickly between the fingers of their left hand.
You can imagine how dangerous this thing is.
Taylor said nothing.
The classroom fell into silence,
Someone whispered: “Cooper, you…”
Cooper waved to his classmates,
“You want to try?”
The student immediately shut up.
So, Cooper looked at Taylor again and joked: “Western Boy, the most primitive game, suitable for the most primitive people. You should like it very much, right?”
Taylor slowly raised his head,
“Yes, we Westerners like these kinds of risky sports the most.”
He stared at each other,
“We also like to cut off a person’s head and tie it behind a horse’s butt so that it can open its mouth wide to catch the horse dung.”
This is the threat of Chiguoguo.
Combined with Taylor’s eyes and tone, Cooper was so frightened that he took a step back, his lower back pressed against the table, and he made a muffled sound.
After all, he is a young man, strong on the outside but capable on the inside.
Cooper looked around and found that his classmates were looking at him, and his face turned red again.
This time it was because of shame.
He took a step forward, drew out his dagger,
boom–
The tip of the dagger was driven into the table.
Cooper said: “Bloom, it seems you really want to have fun?”
Of course he was not prepared to let the other party really play finger games, he just wanted to regain his face.
Taylor snorted and lowered his head,
This is considered a sign of submission.
After all, I still have to get Rockefeller’s sponsorship and finish reading the book.
Just then, the classroom door opened,
The teacher walked into the door with a mixed-race East Asian student and said, “We are here today…what’s going on? Everyone go back and sit down!”
All the students quickly returned to their seats.
Cooper glanced at Taylor coldly, withdrew the dagger, and sat back grandly like a victorious general.
The teacher said: “We have a new classmate today.”
After saying that, he nodded to the transfer student,
“Introduce yourself.”
The students came forward,
“My name is Lu Yun, Chinese. I hope I can get along well with everyone in the future.”
The classroom was quiet,
“…”
“…”
“…”
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
The teacher was also confused.
“Lu Yun, is it over?”
Lu Yun nodded,
“yes.”
The teacher suddenly had one head and two heads.
“Why don’t you introduce your hobbies? For example, what sports are you good at?”
Lu Yun thought for a while,
“I’m not very good at sports.”
The classroom was quiet again,
Then the snickers started one after another.
Cooper curled his lips and muttered: “Why is there a madman here?”
He would say such hostile words not because Lu Yun said he was not good at sports, but because of Lu Yun’s accent——
Very standard British pronunciation.
For some reason, this made Cooper very unhappy;
But he himself couldn’t tell the specific reason.
On the other side, Taylor developed a slight affection for Lu Yun.
High school students are the age group with the strongest hormone secretion. Along with this, they are competitive and brave.
And Lu Yun admitted that he was not good at sports.
Such an attitude has nothing to do with low self-esteem, nor is it a sign of being immature and low-key. Instead, it seems to be a unique kind of strength and confidence, as if one does not disdain to tell lies.
In addition, there is a very realistic point,
Taylor thought darkly,
It would also be a good thing if Lu Yun could help him attract Cooper’s firepower.
On the podium, the teacher’s head is full of black lines.
 ̄□ ̄||
My heart said,
Does this new student not understand human language?
But there was nothing he could do.
It stands to reason that almost all of Horace Mann’s students are from New York, and transfer students from outside are very rare.
But the principal was very secretive about Lu Yun’s identity.
The teacher can only treat him normally.
He pointed to the back row,
“You go and sit there first, and get familiar with the classmates… By the way, you don’t have sportswear yet, right? There is a rugby training event this afternoon.”
Another burst of snickering came from the scene,
Just after Lu Yun said “not good at sports”, this kind of thing happened.
The teacher also noticed that there was something wrong with his speech.
He cleared his throat,
“Everyone be quiet!”
The students fell silent.
The teacher was thinking about how to make up for it, so he walked to Lu Yun and said in a low voice: “You have to pay for sportswear. In this case, you won’t need it this afternoon…”
I said this to protect Lu Yun.
Who would have thought that Lu Yun would actually take out a checkbook from the inside of his clothes?
“How much?”
teacher:? ? ?
Cooper:? ? ?
Taylor:? ? ?
Everyone fell into a state of confusion again.
Cooper knew his stuff, so he squinted his eyes and looked over curiously, and found that in the upper left corner of the check book were the logos of Standard Chartered Bank and Lloyds Bank.
However, there is a tiny logo next to the two logos.
The painting seems to be of a woman. The image has been carefully portrayed, with simple and smooth lines, and clearly identifiable facial features. She is sitting in the center.
She holds a lance, a shield with the Cross of St. George painted on it, and piles of coins at her feet.
Cooper couldn’t help but recall,
Which bank is this?
After a few seconds, he suddenly remembered,
The woman on the logo seems to be Britannia, the goddess of Great Britain.
So, that’s the Bank of England’s logo.
Cooper almost burst out laughing,
Forget it, a checkbook has the logos of two commercial banks on it, but it also has the logo of the Bank of England?
That’s the Bank of England!
When you go to the central bank to cash a check, do you have to have money printed on site?
Isn’t this a joke?
Besides, it’s impossible for the Bank of England to print dollars.
It’s not like you have to exchange money, right?
Therefore, the checkbook could only be a fiction.
Cooper looked deeply at Lu Yun, ready to expose him.
But I thought that if I asked the school to cash it and found that the check was not easy to use, I would stand up and explain it and spread the word. It seemed that it would be better to embarrass Lu Yun, so I forcibly held back.
Cooper thought secretly,
Chinamen, wait to be embarrassed!
…
afternoon.
stadium.
Today’s training activity has come to an end.
But the scene was still lively.
Although Lu Yun is better than his father in sports, he still can’t play the highly confrontational rugby game.
He sat in the stands, lazily basking in the sun.
At this time, Cooper came closer,
“Lu, what are you doing? Are you really not good at sports?”
Lu Yun waved his hand,
“I don’t even understand the rules. For example, False Start, I accidentally did it several times just now. As the attacker, I was punished and forced to retreat again and again. It really hindered my teammates.”
False Start, the attacker moves early,
It means that in addition to one player on the offensive side who moves parallel to the line, someone moves before the ball is served.
This kind of foul is very common.
Cooper’s face turned dark and he lowered his voice.
“What do you mean?”
Just now, he committed multiple fouls while attacking, but the coach did not call the penalty.
Other students naturally turned a blind eye.
Lu Yun shook his head,
“I’m just telling the truth.”
What a “tell the truth”!
Cooper’s face turned darker, and he was already thinking about killing this Chinaman.
“Fxxk!”
He leaned forward and wanted to grab Lu Yun’s collar.
Unexpectedly, someone shouted from behind: “Cooper, come on! Our team can’t be without you!”
Cooper’s movements paused.
However, he stubbornly did not look back and still stared at Lu Yun closely.
Strangely, Lu Yun remained unmoved.
It stands to reason that he is already familiar with the whole class, so it is impossible that he will not be impressed by Cooper’s last name.
Rockefeller,
Even though it was split up twenty years ago, the entire family has moved into financial operations and is only stronger than it was then.
Lu Yun doesn’t know, unless…
“Hmm.”
Cooper’s lips curled up,
“As a Chinese, it’s normal for you not to know.”
Lu Yun frowned,
Although I don’t understand why the other party suddenly talks to himself, the hostility in his tone can still be heard.
He fell into deep thought, thinking about how to cure the other party.
As a result, Cooper took this silence as weakness.
He chuckled and came closer,
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know. I can let you know now.”
Unexpectedly, someone pinched his shoulder from behind.
Cooper turned around,
It turned out to be Taylor.
“Western boy, why do you…”
Before he finished speaking, Taylor interrupted: “Cooper, our team needs you. If you don’t come, we will lose.”
Cooper’s face turned cold. He looked at Lu Yun first, and then at Taylor.
“Tsk…”
He was slightly stunned and said jokingly: “You are very chivalrous~ It seems that I should not call you ‘Western Boy’ from now on, but should call you ‘Cowboy Boy’.”
After saying that, he shook his shoulders and shook off Taylor’s hand.
“If you want to be a cowboy, you shouldn’t study in a classroom. Instead, you should learn to ride horses and drink.”
Taylor was silent,
If it was just a conflict between high school students, he would have punched it away.
Unfortunately, things are not that simple.
Cooper continued: “It just so happens that for my family, it doesn’t make any difference who sponsors schooling. Does it matter whether it’s the West or China?”
He glanced at Lu Yun and Taylor again, then jumped off the stands and prepared to return to the field.
Then, as if he had remembered something, he ran back and said to Taylor: “Cowboy boy, you didn’t see him taking out a checkbook this morning and thought he was some kind of hidden awesome person, so you bet on him, right? “
Taylor couldn’t help but be stunned,
His background means that he doesn’t know much about the upper class society.
A checkbook or something is too far away.
Cooper looked at him like this, how could he still not understand?
“It seems that you really want to help others. But there is a price to pay for doing this kind of thing. That checkbook is fake.”
After speaking, he looked at Lu Yun,
“Am I right?”
Lu Yun sighed,
“it is true.”
Cooper couldn’t help laughing and said: “You are a Chinese, holding a checkbook from the Bank of England? You are awesome! You are so awesome! If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself, right? Hahahahahaha!” “
He left laughing wildly,
Lu Yun looked at his back like a fool and shook his head.
Taylor sighed,
“Lu, what he just said…”
I haven’t finished asking the rest of the questions.
It would be rude to ask.
Lu Yun smiled and said, “That checkbook is indeed real.”
This smile has a natural affinity that makes people believe it.
He continued: “As for the issue that Rockefeller just mentioned, I can only say that Chinese is my cultural identity, and nationality… Frankly speaking, I am multi-national.”
Taylor has a big head;
Because the other party’s answer was so magical that I didn’t know whether to believe it or not.
Reason tells him not to believe it;
Emotional judgment is just the opposite.
Lu Yun said: “According to Rockefeller, you are sponsored to go to school.”
Taylor nodded,
“Yes. Their family supports it.”
Lu Yun frowned,
“Their family? It doesn’t make sense. The educational charity funds funded by various organizations should be handed over to the school’s foundation for management, and then the foundation will screen across the country and admit people of different genders and races.”
The implication is that because the foundation isolates students and donor organizations, it is impossible to say who funded whom.
To be honest, the school also provides scholarships to poor students.
Taylor sighed,
“That’s true, but what about the reality? The Rockefeller family is influential in the school.”
Lu Yun nodded slowly,
This stuff is like political donations;
On the surface, individuals, groups or businesses provide financial support to candidates, and these funds can only be used for election activities, operations or the promotion of specific policies.
But in fact, there are many conflicts of interest.
Rockefeller said, don’t cut off a student’s scholarship too simply.
Lu Yun pondered: “Perhaps you should prepare the information and go to the foundation to have a good communication. After all, the foundation has many regulators, not only Rockefeller, but also Carnegie, Morgan, and above that, AAAS… well… …I haven’t asked you yet, how are your grades?”
“fine.”
Taylor was doubtful,
“The AAAS you are talking about is the American Association for the Advancement of Science? This…you really dare to say…”
He shook his head,
“If I go to the foundation to communicate, will it be effective?”
Lu Yun said: “AAAS definitely…”
He hesitated slightly,
Will it cause trouble if I use my father’s authority in AAAS when I first come to the United States?
or,
“Looking for help from Uncle Carnegie?”
He muttered to himself.
Taylor didn’t hear clearly;
“Lu, what did you just say?”
Lu Yun spread his hands,
“I said, you should prepare the materials carefully. There is a saying in China, ‘a dead horse is treated as a living horse’. You can’t just work hard and try, right?”
Hope also rose in Taylor’s heart, and he said: “What you said makes sense. After all, this is the United States, not like Britain, which is dying and full of darkness. I should really go to the school’s foundation and explain the situation.”
Shente Meow is “dying, and everything is dark
,”Lu Yun almost laughed out loud.
