Chapter 248 Focus on Panama
This was the first time Sheffield was a bootlicker in his life. He remembered an episode in Tom and Jerry where Tom was circling around a white cat, but was eventually eliminated by another rich black cat. In the end, Tom and Jerry hid beside the railway track waiting to be hit by the train. That episode was also hailed as the most heartbreaking episode in Tom and Jerry.
Although he had some tendencies of a dog licker in his behavior, he did not have the essence of a dog licker. He tightened his legs without revealing his true purpose. After a candlelight dinner with Natalia, Sheffield sent the girl home.
For Natalia, the real test had just begun after returning home. The repeated questioning from her parents and brother stimulated Natalia's anti-reconnaissance ability. Knowing that her brother was prejudiced against Sheffield, Natalia flatly denied the identity of the boy who came to pick her up and said that he was her classmate.
Natalia showed her excellent anti-reconnaissance talent and finally overcame the difficulties. Then Sheffield and Natalia entered the stage of underground love.
"Just say you found a job and work part-time in this company. First, get rid of your brother. I'm not saying that as a brother he is too controlling. He shouldn't interfere with his own sister. You also have your own life, which is definitely better than his. What right does he have to control you?" Sheffield pouted. He hated the attitude of the sister-con. He thought that they were a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman. How could that monster object?
"Ogle is indeed too controlling!" Natalia nodded, showing her preference on this matter. Between the two men, she chose Sheffield without hesitation, as she was tired of her brother's control.
"In fact, the purpose of studying is to find a good job. This is what your brother thinks, but for you, you want to have a good life without working." Sheffield is not advocating that women are virtuous if they are not talented, but this is the fact. If they can just eat and wait for death and still have money, many people will not work so hard.
There are not many people like him who can work from dawn to dusk even though he doesn't want to work hard. Sheffield works three hours a day, and sometimes he can even take the initiative to work overtime until two in the afternoon. How can he not succeed if he works so hard?
If people today had Sheffield's spirit of hard work, instead of failing to demonstrate their value, how could they still be trapped in poverty?
"Actually, what Ogle thinks is not wrong, but I don't think the same way as him." Natalia bit her nails and looked at Sheffield and said, "He is too cynical and prejudiced against people with a family background like yours."
"To put it simply, it's hatred of the rich. This kind of person is so annoying. It's obviously because I haven't worked hard, but he actually vents his anger on me!" Sheffield was indignant, and his attitude softened. "If it was someone else, I would ignore him, but this person is your brother, so I will tolerate him."
"As for you, you and your brother are two different people, and I don't need to consider your brother's thoughts." Sheffield smiled wickedly, and suddenly picked up Natalia from the chair, like picking up a doll.
"What are you doing! Put me down!" Natalia struggled. Although she had someone she loved, she was not used to this kind of close contact. Her pretty face blushed as she struggled and said, "I'm still not used to it. I feel flustered."
Sheffield hugged Natalia and sat down on the chair. Then he put Natalia on his thighs, put his arms around her waist, and whispered in her ear, "My dear, although we haven't been together for a long time, we have known each other for a long time. Do you remember the gate of the Austin campus? I told you very frankly at that time that you were very beautiful, but I didn't expect that we would meet again in the future, and every time you became more beautiful than before. Although I have seen many high-quality girls, no one is too impressive in terms of beauty."
"You are so beautiful that I can't find the words to describe you. I just know that you are very beautiful. Please forgive my low literary level, but that's it." Sheffield raised his eyebrows, reached out to touch Natalia's smooth arm, and praised, "There are very few white people with such good skin. According to my research on human races, black people have the best skin, the smoothest and most delicate, but their skin color detracts from it."
If we talk about the characteristics of black people, apart from obesity, they have perfect body proportions, delicate skin, and they don't look old. The body proportions of yellow people are not very good-looking among humans, but their skin is still more delicate than that of white people. Few white people have good skin, but their facial features are still impressive.
"You don't say that to every girl, do you?" Natalia asked back happily, thinking Sheffield was being glib.
"No, I didn't even send my partner to Detroit, but as long as I'm with you, it's all worth it, and I don't regret it." Sheffield tapped Natalia's nose and said gently, "In fact, you can join my company now. As for college education, if you let me be honest, it is certainly a very important cornerstone for ordinary people to advance, but for you, it's not important from what we've seen in musicals. I can completely replace college and let you find a very satisfying job. If you don't like working, you don't have to work."
"No, I still have to work." Natalia shook her head vigorously, her long golden hair swaying with her head, "I can't rely on you and make myself useless."
"I don't object, but just treat it as a hobby!" Although Sheffield has always treated men as animals and women as men, he still has a habit that comes from all family businesses. First consider the relationship, then consider the ability. If his relatives like something and another capable person also likes it, he will definitely fight for his relatives.
No one can blame him for this because this theory is universally applicable. Every country has the characteristics of crony capitalism. Capitalism, the beacon of human hope, is just accusing other countries of having it, but in fact it has the same characteristics itself, and even more openly.
"Look at my memory. I almost forgot about this." Sheffield patted his head and did not let Natalia get off his legs. With his other hand, he took out a letter of recommendation from the drawer next to him and said, "With this letter of recommendation, you can go to the girls' school in Austin. In other words, you can directly enter any girls' school in Texas if you don't like the Austin campus."
Letting Natalia go to the Austin Girls' School and study in the same school as Anne was not because Sheffield was stupid, but because he was lazy. If his women lived in different places, he would have to take a train to visit them every time he remembered them. Wouldn't he waste a lot of time on the road? He had long hated the transportation system of this era, which often made him spend half of his time on the road to do something.
If even the girl you like is like this, then the relationship is too tiring. As for whether two women in the same school will cause a chemical reaction that will explode, we will see when the time comes.
Natalia received the recommendation letter with a look of surprise on her face. She knew how important this recommendation letter was. It could save an ordinary person a lot of time and energy.
Sheffield accepted all the joy. Smelling the fragrance of the lips on his face, he decided not to wash his face for a few days.
If there weren't two unexpected guests, Sheffield would not have wasted time with his clients. He was so busy now, how could he have time to entertain outsiders? But the people who came were McHale and Gail, so they had to meet.
"If there's anything, can't we talk over the phone? Is there a fighting in South Africa?" Sheffield had a sour face, completely different from when he faced Natalia.
"What's wrong with you? Now the newspapers are praising United Company as a pioneer in emerging industries, but you don't look very happy?" Gail looked confused, not understanding why he had suffered another unexpected disaster.
"Do they need to tell me that? I'm a pioneer in the emerging industry!" Sheffield's expression did not ease. He accepted all the public opinions praising him and said indifferently, "You two should stop pretending. You dream of robbing a bank every day. You must have come here to discuss something bad with me. Let me make it clear first. My time is limited. I've been busy expanding my business recently."
"Is there any cause more important than the Panama Canal?" Gale smiled and lowered his voice, "William, I heard that the French can't hold on any longer. Do you want to think of a way to take over the Panama Canal?"
The French company that operated the Panama Canal went bankrupt last year, but this is not a matter between companies, but a matter between countries. Gail's intention is obviously to take advantage of this window of opportunity to carry out activities.
"Yes, William! The British are sharpening their knives in southern Africa now, and they won't interfere with us." McHale said, "Gail and I mean to use private armed forces to help Panama gain independence."
"Go to war with Colombia directly? You two are really brave!" Sheffield stretched out his hand to applaud the two people's ideas, but he was also thinking about it. Finally, he said, "This matter requires the old man to find out some information."
"That would be the best!" Both of them knew that Sheffield's father was in Paris. It would be the best thing if the old man could come forward and find out the bottom line of the French.
