Chapter 318 Celebration Ariana
"Beautiful Harvard, we join your jubilant throng, and beckon you with blessings, through these ancient festival ceremonies, to the times that have waited before, the glorious remains of our ancestors, let their memories be long warmed, they are the first flowers of the wilderness star..."
Time flies and it is already the end of October.
Milo also left Los Angeles, where the weather was still comfortable, and returned to his loyal Boston.
He was invited to a cocktail party that day.
In a corner of the cocktail party, a group of people stood under the lights and sang their own songs.
Most of them were around 40 or 50 years old, but they sang very happily, including Milo and Ariana.
"I have to say, I haven't sung this song in years, but it still sounds so beautiful."
"If you attended every year, Ronald, you wouldn't have that thought."
"May I take it that you don't really like our song, George?"
"Shut up, Shlain. I meant that Ronald didn't need to be so sentimental, but I didn't mean anything else. Don't even think about attacking me like that!"
As soon as the song was finished, seven or eight middle-aged men started laughing and making noise.
Just like how the most traditional white men party in most parts of the United States.
But their identities are very different - for example, here are Texas Governor George, Massachusetts Governor Schlain, Michigan Senator Ronald and others.
Yes, they are all local giants, around fifty years old. It can basically be said that in the next ten to twenty years, they will have a place in the top political arena in the United States.
"It seems that Milo is coming back for the first time to attend the cocktail party held by the school?"
Suddenly someone took the initiative to bring the topic to Milo.
Milo, who was chatting with Ariana, looked up and smiled:
"That's not the case. When I first entered Harvard, I also attended the school celebration that year. But then...something unexpected happened. Now it has been seven years, and this is the first time I have come back here to attend a school cocktail party again."
He is currently attending a cocktail party at Harvard University. Americans attach great importance to various gatherings held by their alma mater. This has always been a good opportunity to expand one's network. There might be a wealthy man or a congressman among the classmates.
The school can also take this opportunity to win over many people, on the one hand to obtain more donations, and on the other hand to make the school more glorious.
To give the simplest example, there are many princes from Arab countries studying at Harvard University.
Although many of them are just muddling through, no one knows if a king will emerge in the future.
And then Harvard University can proudly tell everyone.
See, a certain king once went to school with us, thus attracting more students.
Therefore, there are always parties such as cocktail parties, homecoming parties, graduation dances, etc. in various schools.
Basically every similar cocktail party, party, and school celebration.
Harvard University even invited him.
Not to mention their family's status at Harvard University.
Just take Milo's current social status and personal achievements, as well as his identity as a Harvard alumnus.
It would be strange if the school didn't invite him.
But in the past, it was difficult for him to come back. After all, the black speaker he hit with his car was also a student at Harvard University.
The key point is that this guy knocked the other person away in school...
Later, when he became successful and famous, the black orator had to come out and speak for him. This was when the matter was completely revealed.
The school continued to send him invitations.
But Milo was always busy or just didn't want to come.
So I never came back to attend the various cocktail parties held by the school.
This time, this time is an exception.
Ariane Rockefeller, who had studied in Harvard's preparatory courses for two consecutive years and finally enrolled this year, insisted that he come back.
Because of Harvard University's regular mid-term celebration this year, Ariana, who had only been enrolled for more than a month and had already become the vice president of the student union, was in charge of hosting it.
Ariana asked him to come back, so he had to come back.
"It really makes me miss it. The past scenes keep appearing in my mind, as if they just happened yesterday, but it also seems like they are so far away now."
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window under the soft light, looking at the star-speckled Harvard campus that had completely fallen into darkness, Milo spoke with emotion.
"Yes. I remember you waved to me at your entrance ceremony." George Bush said with emotion.
George Bush Strictly speaking, he should be considered a student at Yale University.
But this guy cleverly found a bug by relying on the Blackburn and Bush family's relationship with Harvard University.
He did go to Yale for college, but before entering politics he took the entrance exam to MIT and received a Ph.D. from Harvard University, so he can be considered a student of Harvard University.
It is precisely because of this that Harvard University holds its annual anniversary and some important celebrations.
George participated with all his might and tried hard to expand his network.
And because of Herbert and the Blackburn family, it was difficult for Harvard University and its alumni to refuse him.
Plus, George has a really nice personality, so many people are willing to make friends with him.
Not to mention...he now has such an outstanding nephew.
The nephew is still willing to support him.
So Harvard University also invited him to its mid-term celebration.
George rushed over from Texas and participated in it as a Harvard student.
"Yes, Paladin was there. He was so happy."
Milo whispered.
George was silent for a moment, then smiled again, "If he knew what you are doing now, he would definitely be happier."
Including making Haley pregnant twice and giving birth to three children (correction, the second baby was twins, I will change it later).
Thinking of Paladin's saintly knight-like character and personal principles.
And his feelings for himself.
Maybe even if he were alive, he would know these things.
Most likely you won’t be angry with yourself.
The people around were very considerate at this time and saw Milo and George chatting for a long time.
Avoid them appropriately.
The uncle and nephew thus had the conditions to have a secret conversation.
“Boston has your back.”
When talking to his uncle, Milo never used euphemisms or roundabout words.
Very directly, Milo got to the point: "I can also guarantee that some Californians will support you. Plus my influence in New York. Uncle, I think unless Morgan and Rockefeller declare war on you. Otherwise, the bedroom in the White House will definitely belong to you in two years. I hope that by then you can let me take a few photos in your Oval Office, hahaha~"
"Hahaha~" George couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Everyone knows that there is a high probability that he will become the President of the United States in two years.
It's probably hard to control this smile.
"You've already taken the photo, haven't you?"
George smiled: "It should be eight or nine years ago. You were still a kid at that time. Lola took you and Paladin with you. You played in the white house for several days."
"Yeah. It's really nostalgic." Milo nodded with a smile.
That was when Herbert, George's father and Milo's grandfather, ruled the White House.
At that time, Laura took Milo and Paladin to the White House many times.
Especially Milo, he lived there for a period of time, probably about one or two months in total.
So the white house is actually not very unfamiliar to Milo.
They talked for a while more, which made George very happy, about the general election two years later.
From the corner of his eye, George saw Ariana surrounded by a bunch of female Harvard graduates, talking and smiling sweetly.
Milo's uncle suddenly spoke, his voice still lowered.
"I heard it from someone. Mainly some people in the energy industry. They said that the relationship between Rockefeller and you is a little strained now?"
Milo was stunned, a little surprised that his uncle would talk to him about this topic.
If it was my second uncle Jeb, or my youngest uncle, or Herbert.
Then he might not be so surprised.
But Milo still smiled and said, "It's true that there is a little bit. They want Chevron Oil. But they are not willing to give me the chips I want."
"Then..." George looked towards Ariana, "You and Ariana..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"It won't affect us. We have a good relationship. It won't affect the normal relationship between Rockefeller and Blackburn. It's just an oil company."
I heard my nephew say this.
Whether it was true or not, George was relieved.
Although many people know that the Bush family and the Rockefeller family have a good relationship.
Shrub's ancestor was Rockefeller Jr.'s oil manager.
But it's been so many years.
One thing George understood very well was that Rockefeller could have many shrub families.
But there is only one Blackburn in the Bush family.
Whether in terms of closeness or influence, Blackburn is obviously more important to Shrub.
"That's good." George nodded with a smile, since Milo said so.
Then he took it seriously.
The chat with his uncle ended here. Milo then chatted with many people for a while.
As the party came to an end, they began to leave one by one, and Milo and the very happy Ariana wandered around the campus.
“They all said this was the most successful mid-term celebration they had ever seen!”
Ariana jumped around him happily like a butterfly. "Look how many people are here! Almost all the outstanding alumni are here! I even had to add more venues and set up many branch venues, otherwise there would not be enough to accommodate so many people!"
Seeing him looking at her with doting eyes, she smiled happily again and shook her head at him mischievously, "Of course, of course, of course! We all know, everyone knows. This is not my credit. Everyone is so willing to participate this time, mainly because Mr. Blackburn also participated! Am I right, Mr. Blackburn?"
"I don't think so. Mrs. Blackburn."
Milo smiled and said, "Attending the school's anniversary celebration and cocktail party is what a student should do. If there is any credit, it is the school's credit. And also the credit to you as the organizer."
"That's a very good point. Even though it sounds a bit fake, I really like hearing it! Hahaha~" Ariana laughed.
She really loves to listen to it.
Especially Milo's words "Mrs. Blackburn" just now! This means that her status has not changed.
Ariana glanced at Ivana, who was at least 20 meters behind Milo.
That’s right, Kimp’s daughter also completed two years of preparatory courses this year and officially enrolled in Harvard University.
Although Ivana disappeared for more than half a year.
She went to take care of the pregnancy and give birth to the child.
But she was successfully admitted to this school that countless outstanding students around the world dream of entering.
It's as simple as ordinary people entering a public elementary school near their home.
So Ivana is also an alumnus of Harvard University.
Naturally, Ivana would not miss such an important celebration.
Except now Ariana says she has something important to discuss with Milo.
Ask Ivana to leave her and Milo alone for now.
Although Ivana felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't dare to disobey Ariana, and Milo didn't say anything.
I just stayed behind obediently to give Milo and Ariana enough private space.
"David and Lawrence are very unhappy."
After looking at Ivana, Ariana suddenly said, "Many people in the family are also unhappy. They said they want to teach you a lesson, dear, so you have to be careful next time."
Milo raised his eyebrows and looked at her. He suddenly moved closer and pulled her into his arms, looking down at her. "What about you, dear? Will you come with your family and show me a lesson?"
"Oh~" Ariana laughed again, she said, "If we weren't engaged yet, maybe. But we are engaged. Honey, it's obvious that I am one with you. The more glorious you are, the more I shine! So my family hates me a little now. David and Lawrence don't allow me to go to their study anymore..."
Ariana really didn't lie to Milo about this.
As his relationship with the Rockefeller family became a little strained.
Ariana's status and treatment in the family also became a bit awkward.
Although it’s not as exaggerated as saying that a woman should obey her husband after marriage.
But in this situation, Rockefeller indeed sees her differently than before.
More importantly, Ariana is very smart about some things.
She knew where she should stand at this special moment.
Rockefeller? Don't be silly.
Let’s not talk about whether the two sides will really go to war this time, and who will win in the end.
For example, if the two sides really went to war, what would she gain by standing with Rockefeller? If Rockefeller won, what would she gain?
David has six granddaughters like her, and if you count her cousins, there are more than a dozen.
If we include illegitimate daughters, there would be at least forty or fifty of them!
Is there anything special about her in this, other than her marriage to Blackburn?
No!
In fact, because of her marriage to Blackburn, she could get even less! What if Blackburn won? Then her position in the Rockefeller family would be even higher and stronger. Because she is the most important bond between the two families! So from the beginning, her position was very firm.
She is engaged to Blackburn.
Unless Blackburn and Rockefeller became blood enemies, her marriage could not be changed.
But this is modern society, and there is no possibility of blood feuds between families.
Then the reality that she is the future Mrs. Blackburn cannot be changed.
Unless Milo risked becoming a blood feud with Rockefeller, and at the same time put his own reputation and the reputation of the entire Blackburn family into the mud, and was despised by the entire mainstream circle of the Celestial Dragons.
So it's no surprise that Ariana supports Blackburn.
Even within the Rockefeller family, no one forced her or hinted at her to do anything.
Because her existence itself is special.
When necessary.
She is the best buffer zone between the two sides.
But they were also afraid that she would cause trouble with Milo, so David and Lawrence also forbade her to enter their study...
