When Zhuang Zheng came to the school, he saw someone sitting in his seat chatting with You Yong, who was Lin You, a white and delicate classmate in the class.

Seeing him coming, Lin You hurriedly moved his seat out of the way, and greeted with a familiar smile: "Brother Zhuang is here." ”

"Good morning." Zhuang Zheng sat down.

Lin You didn't leave immediately, but squatted down between Zhuang Zheng and You Yong's seats, and continued to whisper: "Brother Zhuang, we are talking about yesterday's incident. ”

"Huh?" Zhuang Zheng glanced at it.

You Yong lowered his voice and said: "Zhuo Wenxu asked us where we went at noon, I don't know who spread it, I heard that some people linked us to what happened in the cafeteria at noon yesterday. ”

Lin You said in a low voice: "That's it!" I don't know what they think, but maybe they say something inadvertently after school. But the speaker has no intention of listening, and the listener has a heart! Some people are rich in associations, and it should not have spread to a large range now, but now that the consultation is developed, it is likely to ......"

He said hesitantly: "It's probably not spread, that is, freshmen like us who don't have mobile phones and Q numbers between each other, and the old students estimate that if one or two know about it, they will immediately send it to the whole class." ”

"Grass! I don't know which guy said it, even if he didn't mean it, Lao Tzu would explode his chrysanthemum! You Yong sighed indignantly, he knew very well that this was the truth, if the old students understood, then they might immediately find trouble!

The Ivy League is so big, and there are so many freshmen in high school, and those few people are face-to-face with them, and sooner or later they will arrive early. But as long as he is given a little more time, he will be able to better understand all aspects of the ivy League, who can be offended and who cannot be offended.

Zhuang Zheng glanced at Lin You and smiled faintly: "Classmate Lin You came to inform us about this early in the morning?" ”

"We are classmates, I heard the news, I couldn't sleep last night, if I could contact you, I would have notified you a long time ago." Lin You said seriously, a copy should be like this, you don't have to thank me for my appearance.

"You're well-informed!" Zhuang Zheng praised again.

Lin You hurriedly smiled: "I didn't leave after school yesterday, so I stayed for a while." ”

You Yong was a little depressed, he didn't leave in a hurry yesterday, and asked for news everywhere, why didn't he hear his own news?

"Student Lin helped us think about it all night, do you have any good suggestions?" Zhuang Zheng opened his desk and prepared his books according to this morning's class schedule.

"Ha, I don't have any good advice, I just think ...... The current situation is very passive, and the spread is that those old students know that they may be hostile to the two; And the school and teachers will have a bad impression even if they don't have evidence to deal with it. It's better to take the initiative and explain to the sophomores who had an accident yesterday, and the rumors will naturally be self-defeating! ”

Hearing Lin You's suggestion, You Yong almost blew this little white face away, damn, isn't that self-defeating?

"Student Lin has a heart. But I don't think there's any need for this, someone is bored to spread such news, so let them spread it! We're here to study, just study hard, and don't bother with that. Zhuang Zheng said, he had already opened the textbook and did not look at him.

"Brother Zhuang is worthy of being the deputy squad leader, imposing enough, calm enough, and having a grand prize demeanor." After Lin You finished speaking, he returned to his seat.

At this time, there is still a while before the class, and everyone has not yet arrived. You Yong looked around for a moment, and hurriedly discussed: "Brother Zhuang, what should I do?" ”

"Read the book, preview." Zhuang Zheng did not look up.

"......" You Yong was speechless, he couldn't be so calm. You said...... Could it be that Zhuo Wenxu's chick deliberately spread it? ”

"When she comes, you might as well ask her."

"......" You Yong sighed: "Forget it, forget it, I will also study hard every day." ”

……

I started to take classes, and Zhuang Zheng, who had no system foundation, listened to every class very seriously. You Yong walked around vigilantly after class, and he didn't hear unfavorable rumors, so he was temporarily relieved.

During the recess before the last class, a student who didn't know whether he was a sophomore or a junior in high school came to the first class.

"Who's the squad leader?" The old student glanced at everyone on the podium, and when he saw Zhuo Wenxu, his eyes lit up and he looked at it a few more times.

The classmates in the classroom all looked at him, and Zhuo Wenxu also stood up: "I'm the class leader, what's the matter?" ”

The man smiled and said proudly, "I'm sure you've heard of many student clubs in the Ivies. One of the most powerful, influential, and long-lasting connections after graduation is only us, the Skull and Bones Club! ”

As he spoke, he had raised his left hand, and on his middle finger was a ring with a skull logo.

Skull and Bones Club? Zhuang Zheng thought back to the name he had heard, and then secretly amused, not knowing whether to say that they were boring or interesting.

"Skull and Bones Society? What kind of society is that? ”

"I don't know, but it looks like a cow."

"You're here to recruit someone, right? Anyway, don't lose anything, let's participate in the fun! ”

While everyone was discussing in private, the man handed a form to Zhuo Wenxu, "We are open to new students to recruit members, and there are three preparatory places in each class. You're Zhuo Wenxu, right? One of the places is for you; In addition, according to this table, those with the highest political axe position and the highest business status from their family background will be given two other places. Those who can finally pass the review and evaluation of our Skull and Bones Club will become new members! ”

After speaking, he said to everyone: "Our Skull and Bones Club will only absorb elites with background, please count them truthfully." If your family background is not strong enough, don't be discouraged, in the next year, if your performance is prominent, there will be a chance to be specially absorbed. As for whether you will disdain to join, listen to it! I just want to say that with the resources of membership, it is not a problem to have a smooth career and a prosperous career in the future! ”

He didn't seem to bother to introduce more, and didn't give everyone a chance to ask questions, so he turned around and left.

"Wait, we're not rare......" Zhuo Wenxu wanted to return his form, and the student had already left the first class to the second class.

"Squad leader, isn't it rare for you to have a place? Besides, the other two places are for all of us, and we are still interested in fighting for them. "I'm afraid that Zhuo Wenxu will go out and retreat with him, and someone will stop him immediately.

This made Zhuo Wenxu frown: "Ladies and gentlemen, we should focus on our studies, not rush to communicate with all kinds of people, especially this kind of social circle with a strong utilitarian surname......"

Lin You smiled calmly and said gently: "Squad Leader Zhuo, this is a bit biased. The school will allow all kinds of clubs to exist, which in itself is to keep us from reading dead books, and extracurricular activities are also comprehensive exercises. Communication is also one of the things that should be learned in life, which is not contradictory to attending classes. As for saying 'utilitarian surnames', hehe, I don't think our parents would have tried to send us to the Ivy League if we didn't have the slightest idea of utilitarian surnames. Right? ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a chorus of echoes. Zhuo Wenxu can't argue that the positioning of Ivy League Platinum International is either rich or expensive, and the second generation of success is to let the students' family networks join forces to cultivate future political and business talents and successful people, rather than cultivating scientists and scholars.

You Yong whispered to Zhuang Zheng and said: "This skeleton bird club, but it is a clear spelling father!" ”

"It seems that a lot of people have a lot of confidence in their dad." Zhuang Zheng also smiled, this copycat skeleton club will definitely not be comparable to Yale's skeleton club, but if the policy is clearly adhered to, ten or decades later, it will really form an influential circle.

After being stumped by Lin You's words, Zhuo Wenxu looked at the form in his hand, was silent for a while, and then asked, "Do you know what a skeleton meeting is?" ”

"Obviously! The purpose of recruiting only the biggest, richest students is obvious. ”

"Skeletons are cool!"

"There are only three reserve places, which shows that the best club in the school is not boasting!"

In the midst of everyone's discussion, Lin You pursed his lips with slight disdain, and then said loudly: "There are many secret alumni associations in the Ivy League schools, and the Skull and Bones Club is the most mysterious and powerful one at Yale University. They will only admit 15 juniors each year to ensure that the number of active members is limited to around 800. Basic requirements for membership: to be born in a wealthy family in the eastern United States, preferably a British immigrant with aristocratic blood; To be well educated, it is better to have attended a noble boarding school; Be athletic, competitive, preferably in the military, and initially limited to members with white male surnames......"

Seeing that everyone was listening to him quietly, Lin You, who paused for a while, continued: "Once you become a full member, it is equivalent to obtaining a stepping stone and a pass to enter the upper class of American society. Because a large number of Skull and Bones members have become elites in American politics, finance, and academia, such as 3 presidents, 2 chief officials of the Supreme Court, dozens of cabinet members, and hundreds of members of the Senate and House of Representatives, the CIA is the world of the Skull and Bones Club! And it's their tradition to support each other. Put simply, the elite gives members a shortcut to wealth and power through the Brotherhood's vast network of mutual aid. ”

Seeing that many people were ignorant, the corners of Lin You's mouth flashed with disdain: "For example, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. in the United States are all members of the Skull and Bones Club. After graduating, George W. Bush went into business, failed again and again, and the members of the Skull and Bones Club helped him, allowing him to survive again and again, and later ran for governor and president in politics, and received strong support from his members. And Kerry, the candidate of the Ming Cook Party, who ran for president with George W. Bush that year, is also a member of the Skull and Bones Club. ”

"Wow, it turns out that skeletons can be so good!"

"Cut, that's Yale's Skull and Bones Society, can you compare here?"

"That's also relative, can you get into the Skull Club at Yale? This is the Skull and Bones Club that created us, and those who can join the club now will all be veterans in the future! ”

Zhuo Wenxu snorted: "Since you are all interested, let's count it!" I'm not going to participate. ”
