Meizong Wealth Life

Chapter 35 Harvard is okay

That night, Serena and Jamie went to a high-end restaurant in New York and met Serena's mother Lily, brother Eric, and Chuck's father and Chuck.

This is the last time the two families get together before Lily and Chuck's dad get married.

And in the words of Chuck's dad, after tonight, everyone is a family.

The atmosphere at the table was quite harmonious.

Although the union of Lily and Chuck's father was a bit sudden, it was not something difficult to accept.

After all, both parties are in the same circle.

Serena and Chuck have known each other since childhood, and now they have no particular objections to the fact that they are about to become half-siblings.

Jamie was the only "outsider" present, but his relationship with Serena and the adoring look in Eric's eyes when he saw Jamie made Chuck's father realize that Jamie was the relationship between himself and Lily. The key to a good relationship between two children.

In order to show Jamie's importance, Chuck's dad specially explained that the steaks for tonight's main course came from Jamie's Yellowstone Ranch.

Unexpectedly, his son Chuck immediately threw the napkin on the table after hearing this.

"Can I have a different entree? I don't want steak tonight."

Chuck’s father asked with confusion on his face:
"why?"

Chuck didn't explain, just looked up at Serena and Jamie across the dining table.

That expression is clearly saying, you two, explain it to everyone.

Serena and Jamie looked at each other.

Finally Jamie said:

"It's all my fault. This time I went back to Yellowstone for vacation and arranged for everyone to eat steak for every meal, so everyone may be tired of it."

Chuck's father was doubtful about this.

Lily even asked Serena in a low voice what was going on.

Serena was about to tell the truth, but Chuck couldn't stand their slow and slow movements and spoke first.

“I’m not tired of the steaks from Yellowstone Ranch, but since I learned that Yellowstone Ranch keeps the best beef for its own enjoyment and only sells the next-level beef to the outside world, I have no idea about the so-called top-quality Yellowstone steaks from these restaurants outside. I caught a cold again!”

"Come on, this is not the top quality at all, but everyone still thinks they are eating high-end goods, and they are complacent about it."

Lily looked at Serena with wide eyes.

"is this real?"

Serena could only shrug helplessly, and explained that the steaks eaten at their Yellowstone Ranch were actually not that different from those eaten in restaurants outside.

She emphasized that Chuck was deliberately making trouble and exaggerating all of this.

Chuck's dad turned to Chuck and asked if this was true.

Jiaktu saw this, looked at Jamie opposite, and sneered proudly:
"If you don't believe what I say, you can ask Jamie to have Yellowstone Ranch mail some real top-quality beef every month. I guarantee that after you eat it, you will never want to go out to eat those second-class steaks again."

Serena gave Chuck an angry look.

Jamie patted his girlfriend's hand and gave in.

"To bless Bart and Lily, I can provide the wedding dinner with Yellowstone beef of the quality Chuck mentioned for free, and hopefully it won't be too late."

Chuck's father and Lily both welcomed this and solemnly expressed their gratitude to Jamie.

Chuck took a proud sip of red wine and added:

“If the wedding guests are raving about the steak at dinner, I feel like I have to take some credit for that.”

These words once again earned Serena a stern look in protest.

Except Chuck just didn't care.

After getting rid of the thorny issue of Chuck, the conversation at the dinner table will become much more pleasant.

Chuck's father and Lily talked about Jamie's WeHouse idea together. They both thought the idea was great, and Chuck's father even vaguely expressed his willingness to invest in this new company.

Unfortunately, Jamie declined.

On the plane, several people had reached a consensus on the equity distribution of WeHouse.

Jamie came up with the idea, so he alone holds 80% of the founder's equity, and the remaining 20% ​​is divided equally between Serena, Rebecca, Chuck, Blair and Nate as co-founders.Yes, Nate had a part in that too.

Who told Nate's grandpa to be Vanderbilt?

Chuck's father didn't say anything after hearing this, but he decided to have a good chat with Chuck in private.

His son obviously has not realized the huge potential of WeHouse and does not take investing in this company seriously at all.

Presumably the same goes for the other co-founders.

This makes Jamie even more unusual.

Being able to come up with such creative ideas and knowing how to use and integrate all the resources around him to achieve his goals.

It is hard to imagine that such a mature mind could appear in a 17-year-old boy.

The most outrageous thing is that the other person is a well-known best-selling novel writer in the United States.

At the same time, he is also a super academic who can get perfect scores on the SAT exam.

Chuck's father looked at Jamie opposite, who was chatting and laughing with Lily's family, and felt puzzled.

Why can't I give birth to a son like this?
Because the topic of SAT scores came up at the dinner table, Lily asked Jamie which university he was going to apply to.

Jamie took the SAT test in June this year and received a perfect score of 1600.

Unlike the Tianchao College Entrance Examination, the SAT can be taken seven times a year, and the results are valid for two years.

Most American high school students take the SAT exam more than twice.

Jamie originally applied for the October exam in order to get a perfect score, but he didn't expect to get a perfect score in the first test.

However, this score is only a stepping stone to get into a prestigious school.

"Before I came back this time, my father asked me the same question. My answer at the time was that I hadn't decided yet. Any school in the Ivy League would be acceptable to me."

After Lily listened carefully, Diandian then asked:

"what about now?"

Jamie glanced at Serena beside him, held his girlfriend's hand and said:
"I know Serena has always wanted to go to Brown University, and I very much support her decision. As for me... I should choose Harvard."

As we all know, there are only three real Ivy League universities, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton.

There may be some controversy over who ranks second and who ranks third, but the number one ranking is undoubtedly Harvard.

Logically speaking, this was not a particularly unexpected decision, but a hint of surprise flashed in Lily's eyes.

However, what really made her break her guard was her daughter's reaction next.

Serena turned to look at Jamie in surprise.

"really?"

Chuck's father also took the opportunity to interject.

"Law or business?"

There was no doubt in his eyes that these two subjects were the best.

Not surprisingly, Jamie’s choice was pre-law.

Strictly speaking, this is not a major, but a program for which anyone with an undergraduate degree can apply for a Doctor of Laws.

The first reaction of everyone present was that Jamie would prepare to be a lawyer or enter politics in the future, but in fact everyone was wrong.

It is true that most Harvard Law School graduates choose these two paths, but what if they drop out of school midway?

Ever since he heard the name Mark Zuckerberg on a plane, Jamie had decided to go to Harvard and become a dropout.

His only purpose in doing this was to block Facebook!
After Serena learned of her boyfriend's decision, she immediately asked Lily a question.

"Mom, what do you think about the idea of ​​me applying to Harvard Business School?"
