Chapter 20 Stability Above All
Before the brother and sister left, Sheffield came back holding the black back. He treated the two of them like nothing and told the groom, "Go to the girls' school next door first. I have something to go over."
There was nothing he couldn't go to in the girls' school. It was his home. He could go wherever he wanted. The carriage started and drove away, leaving only the brother and sister looking at each other.
"Yanji, don't run around!" Sheffield said the dog leash was hung on the hook in front of the house. Sheffield wiped his hair before lifting his legs and walking up the steps, pushing the door open as if there was no one around.
As the door creaked open, the men and women in the room looked over with displeased expressions. When they saw the visitor, they quickly put on spring-like smiles and nodded to Sheffield with a smile.
A seat has been left on the long table in the middle. Sheffield walked to this seat and sat down unceremoniously. He put his hands on the table and glanced around with drooping eyelids. Ten men, two women, and
I am a member of the Texas League Club, a total of thirteen people, and these thirteen people will never change.
Representing the Thirteen-State Alliance of the Confederate States of America, the nature of this club is actually similar to that of university fraternities everywhere, similar to the Skull and Bones Society at Yale University. Elite societies like the Skull and Bones Society actually exist in all first-class universities in the United States. If it is simply
For the quality of teaching, Sheffield can go to school in Houston. For convenience, it can go to Arlington and go home at any time.
"If nothing else, I will graduate soon. Do you have any candidates in mind that can be recruited into the club?" After a long yawn, Sheffield went straight to the topic and said, "Have you all thought of a candidate? It seems that there are still
You graduated normally, who is your successor?"
"What? William, are you graduating now?" The man in khaki said slightly surprised, "You seem to be only sixteen years old, why are you going back in such a hurry?"
"After finishing my studies, I have no choice but to go home and be the heir." Sheffield said lazily, "There is nothing we can do about it. I have already said hello to this place and will leave in less than two months."
"Do I need to give you a farewell party then? How about I give myself to you one day?" The girl who was facing the man in khaki licked her lips, leaned forward and said seductively.
"Carter, can you take care of your fellow countryman? Ever since I came to school, she has always wanted to do something to me, even though I am rich and multi-millionaire, this is a well-known thing." Sheffield said in a long and angry tone.
He said tiredly, "When will you grow up? Huh? When you come to Austin to go to school, this is what you think about every day?"
"I can't control Laura. Who can control what she wants to do?" Carter immediately shook his head and said with an attitude that it had nothing to do with me, "She has always been like this. It's not like you don't understand."
"If it's been like this all the time, why would you just randomly find a boy from an ordinary family to sleep with? He's just a pretty boy." The man in khaki made an exaggerated expression and suggested, "Why don't you try finding a black homeless man?
Just imagining it, it’s very visually impactful.”
"Hey..." Dong Dong Dong! Sheffield stretched out his hand and knocked on the long table, "The mayor's son, the state senator's granddaughter, you are talking about this issue here? I ask again, do you have any recommendations? Except
Civilians, please don’t disturb other people’s peaceful and comfortable lives.”
"Of course, how can we bring the enemy in? Never." Carter nodded frequently. He also agreed with the foundation of stability above all else and did not want to be impacted.
Elite university fraternities everywhere have one thing in common, which is to build their own network of relationships and help each other in the future. Many elite fraternities in universities cannot even join women. Naturally, other races are also excluded.
Yes, the Texas League Club is very advanced. Women can join, which fully reflects the equality of men and women. However, civilians cannot join.
Just as the best business is a monopoly, the best status quo is to maintain the status quo. In theory, for Sheffield, it is best for the world to never change, so that his family will always be a superior person, passed down from generation to generation.
Keep going.
Therefore, this club is based on family and blood relationships. Even for students with the same qualifications, a good background will save a lot of time and lead to success earlier. Personal ability is not valued at all. If you
It's good if your family belongs to the wealthy class or works for the government. If, like the Sheffield family, they were planters decades ago and are still very wealthy now, that's even better.
The twelve people in front of me are descendants of seven planters, four of their grandparents work in politics, and the remaining one is in the military and police work at home.
"There are a few people worth noting. I will give you all the information about these people when the time comes. Don't worry, I will even find out who their ancestors married to." Laura, who was playing with the pen, returned to her serious look, "That's just right.
Fill the void.”
"It doesn't have to be so serious. I'm not a person who values ancestry, and of course there are no black students in Austin." Sheffield said the opposite sentence very naturally, which is comparable to first, I am not a racist, and second,
I hate black people, the connection is as smooth as silk, as if it should be so.
"Oh, by the way, many of my friends who have immigrated to Brazil for decades are coming back. I believe you will see them soon. You can tell your elders about this first and be prepared first." Sheffield slapped his thigh.
Suddenly thinking of this incident, "In fact, many people have heard about it. It is no longer a rumor, the matter has been settled. The competition has become more intense, and you all know what this means. There are pros and cons, but we must accept them.
, this is for the benefit of the entire southern states. They are the same partners as you."
Although they had left the South for many years, these planters who immigrated to Brazil were still the same type of people in their eyes.
"We know that these partners are coming back. It will enrich the strength of the entire south. It is natural for some competition to arise." Everyone nodded, indicating that they already knew the news.
"Actually, you don't have to worry. The Sheffield family will not let you fall out of this class, because if you fall out of this class, new people will inevitably come in, and the newcomers will inevitably bring some impact. This is not conducive to stability." Sheffield.
