Chapter 94: Share the Benefits

"Mr. Baron, I am Susan's daughter. I heard about you from my mother!" Anne stretched out her white and tender little hand and shook it with Coubertin. "My mother admires your initiative to develop international sports."

I seem to remember that she said that Coubertin's move was unacceptable? Having a good memory is really a trouble! Sheffield remained calm and pretended to be very supportive as he listened to Anne's lies.

"Baron? No one has called me that for a long time. It's a bit strange!" Coubertin nodded with a smile, "It seems that you are living well in the United States and have your own partner."

"We are still young!" Anne glanced at Sheffield shyly and said happily, "But William is indeed a boy with a wide range of interests and a bright future. He respects everyone very much. Even in my current university, many people say so."

"Annie, you are complimenting me. That's just empty reputation." Sheffield said reservedly, then changed the subject, "But I agree with what Mr. Coubertin advocated, that is, to reduce the burden of study and let minors grow up happily and have a strong body. I was not happy when I was young, and I don't want others to be like that. Mr. Coubertin held a student sports meeting a few years ago, and I believe that all the students who participated were very happy."

"Master William, are you also so interested in sports?" Coubertin's eyes lit up. It seemed that these nouveau riche in the New World were not as conservative as the European aristocrats.

"Of course. Ever since Anne mentioned your ideas, I have never forgotten them. Especially your understanding of quality-oriented education, it is eye-opening. Education can also be joyful." Sheffield acted as if he had met a close friend. He quickly made an invitation and was eager to find a place to have a deep talk right away.

There is hypocrisy on top of hypocrisy. Anne thought her performance was good enough, but she didn't expect Sheffield to be even better. And it wasn't just hypocritical courtesy, it was as if she had been fascinated by Coubertin's proposal for a long time.

"That's not what you said in New Orleans!" Anne muttered to herself, her little head resting on Sheffield's shoulder.

"No, this matter is very important and worth my lifelong efforts to promote!" Sheffield still had that sunny smile on his face. "I have wanted to do this for a long time, but I just didn't have a legitimate reason. I am really happy to meet Mr. Coubertin. This is not fake at all. I must participate in the great cause of Olympic revival because I am such a kind person."

If we really want to take responsibility for our children's future, we should discuss the relationship between education and class mobility openly. However, some words are too cruel to say without disguise. Parents who believe that education can change their destiny will not accept quality education or happy education. So who is advocating and promoting quality education and happy education?

Who else could it be? Of course, it would be someone like Sheffield. He now feels that studying is useless. Exercising and having a strong body are more important than anything else. From the perspective of the country, wars still need cannon fodder. From your own perspective, you have been an intern for two and a half years. It doesn't matter if you like singing, rap, and playing basketball.

What does that have to do with me? It's better than you accidentally becoming my competitor by using the knowledge you learned in college.

"Yeah!" Anne looked up at Sheffield. Because the sun was behind the boy, Anne looked up and felt that the sun was particularly dazzling. She couldn't see Sheffield's expression clearly. She only felt a haze and said in a daze, "I will make sure that my child has a happy childhood in the future."

"Good idea. As long as you are not worried that he won't grow up!" Sheffield forced a smile. If his child did this, he would have to use some Eastern thinking to discipline him. There is a saying that goes "A filial son is born under the stick."

What awaited Baron de Coubertin was a grand banquet hosted by the First Lady of Chicago. For many wealthy people in the United States in the late 19th century, Coubertin's status as a French baron was already a reason for them to attend. After all, the United States is a democratic and free country, and the other party's aristocratic status is something they can only encounter but not seek. They can only pretend to be indifferent on the surface, saying that they don't envy the so-called aristocrats, but they actually envy them.

Moreover, Coubertin is only in his thirties this year, not old at all, and can even be said to be a model of successful career. If he had not just got married, he would probably be surrounded by a group of Chicago socialites. Even now, he is still no less handsome.

"Look, look! A bunch of Yankees who have almost forgotten who they are!" Sheffield also hugged the French countess's daughter and accused these Yankees of worshipping foreigners. "If Coubertin didn't already have a wife, I think they would have offered their sisters and daughters to others even if they couldn't get what they wanted."

"Then what is this?" Anne turned her head to look at the arms that were hugging her body, "Winning glory for the country?"

"Well!" Sheffield was about to speak when he saw Edith Rockefeller and her husband coming over from the corner of his eye. They hugged Anne and turned around and said, "Let's go over there and take a look."

"Master William, what are you doing? Don't you like the cocktail party we are hosting?" Edith Rockefeller glanced at Anne and said generously, "This is your female companion, a very lovely girl."

"There are very few occasions like this in Texas. Coubertin is also French, so we know each other. That's why we asked Anne to come from Austin!" Sheffield turned around calmly. He was not embarrassed by his avoidance. Anne didn't notice anything anyway. "It's a good opportunity to serve as a bridge. The federal government said it well. Everyone will benefit equally."

"Good things should be shared, and I have no objection." Edith Rockefeller nodded and said, "Then I will go and entertain my friends first. Have fun, both of you." When she turned around, she looked deeply at Anne, then walked away holding her husband's arm.

"What does it mean to share the benefits equally?" Anne asked with a frown, feeling uncomfortable with being looked at.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"It means that we all share the benefits!" Sheffield said with a chuckle, "Remind me not to forget my partners."

For this kind of thing, if I am weak, I will open the door and share the benefits equally, just like if I am weak, I will put aside disputes and jointly develop. If I really reach a certain level of strength, then naturally America will be America for the Americans, just as this has been my place since ancient times.
