This is my way of recruiting talent for my alma mater.
Lake thought so in his heart.
George was immediately unhappy. He looked at his wife Helen and pretended to be angry and said, "Lake, Gwen will not go to Yale, but to New York University, which is Helen's and my alma mater."
Lake sat down and glanced at George. "NYU? Are you serious?"
George's eyebrows twitched.
Is this the beginning of the contempt link in the university chain?
Seeing this, Gwen looked at the gift in her hand and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Uncle Lake, can I open it?"
Lake said, "Of course."
If the federation sends a gift, it is generally opened on the spot, and the person expresses his or her love for the gift and gratitude to the giver. This is considered a local cultural etiquette.
But it's okay if you forget, you can make up for it later.
Gwen unwrapped the gift and opened it, revealing a Hamilton women's watch.
"Wow."
Gwen looked at the watch and exclaimed in surprise. She took it out and put it on her hand. She looked up at Lake and said, "Thank you, Uncle Lake. I like it very much."
Lake shrugged: "So, you can consider Yale."
Gwen glanced at her old father George, then looked at Lake: "I swear, I will seriously consider it, provided that I can get a scholarship to Yale."
Lake laughed.
Beckett should have come earlier than Lake, so the gift was given earlier.
Order and serve.
Chatting and drinking, having a great time.
"Sir, here's the butter-fried ham and peas you ordered." A waitress who looked young, about twelve or thirteen years old, of Eastern and American descent brought the meal and then turned and left.
Lake glanced at the waiter who looked young and was probably a part-time waiter. He felt like he had seen him somewhere before, so he looked at him a few more times.
George on the opposite side noticed: "Lake."
Lake looked back at George.
George quipped, "As much as I hate to see you single, I hate even more to see you preying on minors."
Lake blinked: "What."
He treats minors?
What are you thinking about?
As everyone knows, he has always loved mature women more than lolita. The reason is very simple. Loving mature women is not a crime, but loving lolita is a crime.
The most important point.
Lake has learned his lesson. Loli needs to be coaxed, but mature women can be coaxed by her.
George said, "The waiter just now was obviously only thirteen years old at most."
Lake turned his head to look at the little girl who disappeared towards the kitchen.
The front is convex and the back is curved.
Fully developed.
You call this thirteen years old. By the way, what are thirteen-year-old children in the East like? Wearing loose school uniforms and trying hard to memorize ABCDEFG in the ivory tower?
But something is wrong.
That little girl obviously has more oriental features, right?
But thinking about the Western diet, to be honest, Lake is able to maintain his current figure entirely due to his self-discipline and perseverance. He has always stayed away from high-energy junk food.
Um.
"Hamburgers are still enough to fill you up."
Lake bought a beef burger at a roadside burger shop, took a bite, and said this to George.
George's eyebrows twitched: "I spent eight hundred dollars and still couldn't make you full?"
Lake sighed: "This kind of high-end restaurant sells appearance, and people come to eat for the quality, not to fill their stomachs."
That's why Lake rarely goes to high-end restaurants.
It's not because it's expensive, but because he has seen through the nature of this kind of restaurant. A bottle of bourbon that costs thirty dollars outside may be added with a little extra, but in a five-star hotel, they may even add a zero to the thirty-dollar bottle.
"You mean, I'm the one being taken advantage of?"
"No."
Lake shook his head. "I admire you, George. I really do."
He works hard, has a harmonious family, has two children, and his eldest daughter is very smart.
George's living condition is also what Lake pursues.
but...
Every time Lake thought a relationship would work out, it would always end in failure for various reasons. His ex-girlfriend in Europe was probably the closest, after all, they had children, but in the end they couldn't be together for the same reason.
"That's right, Uncle Lake."
As they were about to go home in the parking lot, Gwen invited Lake to accompany her and George to Midtown School tomorrow to sign autographs and take photos.
Of course Lake nodded in agreement.
the next day.
Lake was woken up by the alarm clock.
"Ding Ding!"
"Hello."
"Sir, the BATF file has been delivered."
"Okay, I'll be there later."
Lake gave instructions to his assistant Tiffany and then hung up the phone. He had to go to Midtown School first today. After all, he had promised Gwen when they parted last night.
Half an hour later.
Midtown College.
This is in New York...
wrong.
In Marvel's New York, Midtown High School is a very famous high school. Even in the Marvel Federation, it is the most famous high school, without a doubt.
In the Marvel Universe, Midtown High School is renowned as the alma mater of superheroes and super villains. In short, in the post-hero era, if you throw a brick, at least four out of ten will come from Midtown High School.
Although the heroic era has not yet arrived, the reputation of Midtown High School is still firmly among the top three in New York, or second to be exact. Trinity College, the exclusive school for the rich second generation in New York, is currently the most famous.
Midtown College implements a four-quarter teaching system.
so...
No holidays.
Lake got out of the car and hugged George, who had been waiting there for a long time. Then he smiled at Gwen, who seemed to have put on some makeup, and said, "I can't wait to see tomorrow's New York Times."
Let me put it this way.
Midtown College's A-level scholarship is only given to one person each year, and a special press conference will be held for the annual A-level scholarship winner. Several major New York media outlets that have cooperated with Midtown College will attend.
Gwen thanked him and said, "With the A-level scholarship, I can apply for a biology scholarship from Stark Industries or Osborn Corporation."
Lake said, "I believe you can get it."
Finished.
Lake couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Don't get me wrong, it's just the jealousy that students can't help but feel when they see the top students. Fortunately, Lake is not a bad student. He is just average in terms of academic performance and is the type who can graduate by paying to go to school.
A poor student is one who cannot graduate no matter how much money he spends.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Gwen smiled and shook hands with the president in the auditorium of Midtown High School. The spotlights in the audience were flashing, recording the recipients of the A-level scholarships of Midtown High School this year.
Go out.
Lake and George walked towards the school gate, preparing to go back to their respective units to work. Gwen was beside them, saying that she would take them to the school gate.
Just then.
Suddenly, a female student walked in from the gate. Her dress was out of tune with the surrounding students.
Non-mainstream dress?
Not really.
It was a bit like a combination of the last century and the present. As soon as this girl appeared, she immediately attracted 100% of the attention. Even Lake and George who were chatting were attracted to her.
