Chapter 177: How to Add Blockage?
"Well, I have a feeling that our editorial office is going to become a circus, really, it's so lively!" Edward ate the chocolate donut in his hand in two bites.
He really lacks a good feeling for this sweet to sad thing, and it is well known that the highest evaluation of sweets by Chinese is "this sweets are not sweet".
But that doesn't seem to be the case with Westerners.
Whether it is socialist Russia, capitalist rice or nostalgic old European France, as long as a certain food is called sweet, it ...... The production criteria were immediately simplified to - aiming for the sweet dead.
I ate macarons for the first time in my last life, and at first I was very fascinated by the beautiful color of this thing, but when I put it in my mouth, I found that this TMD was a punishment.
The doughnuts are too, not only are they so sweet, they are also fried, and then they are poured with chocolate sauce, high-sugar and high-oil refined carbohydrates, how unhealthy they are, so much so that he wonders if the boss of Donalds is an agent sent by the KGB to destroy the health of the people of the United States.
I have to say, this job was too successful.
But look at the classmates around you, although they are all elites, they are very happy to eat.
Donuts and coffee have become a part of American culture, and are no longer limited to the desire for oral consumption, just as the British are fond of black tea with sugar and milk, the French are fond of raising white flags and breaking shoes, and the Russians like to drink tea in a samovar, forming a certain cultural stereotype.
And through the developed media of this era, this stereotype is in turn self-reinforcing.
Between one in and one out, only the owner of the Donalds and various media practitioners make money from it, as for the consumers...... Hehe, just wait for insulin.
Speaking of my grandfather, he is much respectable in this regard, except for the cookies baked by his old wife, he has never paid attention to other sweets.
Jews are really different, even if they have high blood sugar, they have to follow their own traditions and not follow the epidemic in this country......
Edward didn't know if it was a noble virtue to be celebrated.
"I mean, Bolton guy, are you really going to let him in?" Edward reverted back to the subject.
"Of course not!" The other editors shouted, "We're not a circus, we don't need clowns, and if this guy gets into the newsroom, we don't expect to look up in front of the Harvard Law Review." Think about it, and there is a guy in the editorial office of the Yale Law Review, who has always been a friend of liberty, in a National Guard uniform...... God, we're going to be kicked out of the Ivy League...... No, no, no, it's terrible, it's terrible! ”
"I think it's ...... too" Edward shrugged, with a worried expression on the road, and then said casually, "What about Corinthian......
"This guy can be considered, after all, he is a Rhodes scholar." An editor said.
"But he's only in the first grade...... Edward shrugged, "I think we should still think about maintaining our traditional ......"
"That's just as well." Others chimed in
"We're definitely not going to give up on good people, but tradition is even more important...... Isn't it? Edward sat down on the table, "It was a good idea to set this rule in the first place, the great Yale has a longer history than the United States, and the heritage is our most reliable teacher."
It makes sense.
Between the doughnuts and the coffee, Collintton's dream of getting into the Yale Law Review in advance was so easily shattered.
For Edward, it's a good thing to add some plugging up the guy who is tearing down his fence while talking and laughing.
According to the information he got, this classmate surnamed Ke likes to be in the limelight very much, and of course he also has considerable strength, and he was a popular figure in both Oxford and Georgetown University before.
"However, his resume is really good, and he actually worked as a clerk's assistant to Senator Fulbright when he was an undergraduate, and the senator's letter of recommendation spoke highly of him." Another editor said.
"What? Senator Fulbright? Edward listened, "Is that the Southern Democrat?" When the Civil Rights Act of '64 passed the Senate, join the prostate chorus together? (referring to a lengthy debate)"
Everyone was amused by him, and at any moment, a joke related to the lower three ways was always the best tool for a harmonious atmosphere, provided that it was not too dirty, but at least wrapped in elegant words.
"So, this classmate is also a Southern Democrat?" Edward asked
"It looks a bit like him, but he doesn't seem to have said much himself......"
"Well, if you can value Congressman Fulbright, then he is really a talent......
James William Fulbright, a veteran senator from Arkansas, has been in Congress since 1945 and has served a second term since 1959, serving as chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, the longest-serving chair in history.
The Senate has 16 standing committees that deal with various related matters in different categories.
The Foreign Affairs Committee and the Justice and Finance Committee, both established in 1816, are the oldest Senate committees.
At the same time, the Foreign Affairs Committee is responsible for leading foreign policy legislation and discussion in the Senate. Its powers include overseeing and providing U.S. foreign aid and arms sales, as well as reviewing nominations for key State Department officials.
She is also one of the most powerful committees.
The Fulbright Senate is also the super-heavyweight of Capitol Hill.
Although, every year, the senator hired students as his assistant clerks – in fact, this is also a model peculiar to the capitalist bureaucratic class.
It is also a kind of assessment of newcomers by superiors.
Successful assessment means entering the pocket of the big guy, and then it will be added to the blue eyes, invested in various resources, and become a member of the big guy system.
Usually the senator's assistant in Washington tends to use his fellow countrymen, which is also a peculiar phenomenon in the seemingly advanced politics of the United States.
It's not surprising if you think about it, don't you kiss your hometown......
Of course, not everyone can pass the assessment, but even if they are not included in the personal guard of the big guy, they usually maintain politeness on the surface, and even help a little or something.
After all, being selected means that the person is extremely good, and there may just be some shortcomings or the timing is not ripe enough to be included in the team, but it is not wrong to make a small investment at the right time.
In case, this buddy suddenly has an RP outbreak, and then he will become a big man all the way, so the early show of favor will become a quite cost-effective venture capital.
So, regardless of Senator Fulbright's assessment of Collintton, Edward is really a little difficult to get started with an opponent with such an excellent background.
The general damage tricks are useless, and the tricks that are too indiscriminate, such as the immortal jumping Dafa or something, seem to be easy to be seen......
At such times and occasions, there is no need to openly use such means, which will usually make people look down on or be wary, which is not conducive to their future development.
All the bigwigs want their juniors to be honest and can only use reasonable means to play within the established framework.
There are only two kinds of people who can solve the problem by the following three indiscriminate means:
Either a tool-man - a consumable that does not enter the stream, or a ...... Big guy Ben Guy.
The former can be haha, and then apologize by physical means, and the latter - then it is called experienced in political struggle, elegant and chic, and especially good at fighting......
For Edward, how to deal with this guy is a real headache......
……
The days passed slowly, back on track.
Especially in that large-scale war in November, Yale finally won a big victory over Harvard, which had come from afar.
Immerse New Haven in a sea of joy.
Legendary quarterback Chris Thomas, who has shown unparalleled dominance on the court.
As the first major black main quarterback in the history of the two schools and even the Ivy League.
His perfect performance made all the racist people who had intended to watch the show jump on their feet, but they didn't dare to show it.
Excellent vision and big-picture vision and accurate long passes made Yale's offense flow, and Harvard was simply blinded.
Later, the coach couldn't bear to hurt the harmony, so he replaced him.
But Harvard's morale has been devastated, and Yale is in full swing, and the backup quarterback is not ambiguous, leading everyone to win the game in one go.
After the game, in terms of meritorious deeds, Chris, who was named MVP on the spot, was of course the primary hero.
But!
However, a handful of people jumped out and thought that Harvard would lose not because of the wisdom and decisiveness of the big black man on the court, but because of their excellent actions......
Hansen led a group of bastards to an unprecedented campaign for Yale's victory before the game began, running to the Harvard stands and taking off their shirts and pants, including panties......
According to eyewitnesses, Hansen took the lead in the area where the female audience was predominant, and he tied a pink bow to signify the friendship.
However, Carl Wright won the first place in the sprint group of the pantsless competition, and he somehow managed to get into the Harvard team to rest on the sidelines, facing a group of big men whose shortest height was also 190cm upward.
The speed at which he took off was simply faster than Bruce Lee's punches, and almost in the blink of an eye, he began to shout with all his body full.
Eventually, the group was carried out of the field by security guards.
The security guards are all natives of New Zealand, and it stands to reason that they should be merciful to Yale students, but probably because they feel ashamed, in short, they are businesslike.
Carl Wright didn't complain, but took the opportunity to touch the butts of several security guards, claiming that he didn't lose this time.
The noisy 1968 passed like this.
Edward didn't know what the new year would bring.
Usually people always make a wish on New Year's Eve: I hope that the next year will be better than this year.
But after experiencing 2020, he knows that this kind of idea is not reliable, so he simply let it go.
What's more, for a traveler, the Gregorian New Year does not have any special meaning.
February 17, 1969, is the day he cares, it is the first day of the lunar New Year.
Although no one around him will celebrate the Spring Festival, for him, this is probably the only connection between him and his previous life, so he naturally can't miss it.
……
As Chris returned to his normal routine, Edward became busier and busier, going to the kitchen every once in a while to fry and fry.
And Chris who didn't have the game also began to let himself go, he no longer liked cheese pizza, and the grape-flavored Fanta and fried chicken rarely entered the door, often asking for stewed elbows or a few pounds of oily meat to enjoy it, and the table wine with it was also quite pure - Moutai.
It's available in Chinatown, and for more than $10, that's the price of 10 Golden Arches.
Compared with the price of someone's wealth management products in their previous life, it can be described as extraordinary.
And this is a high-grade liquor, two people drink against each other, and being able to dry up a bottle in three days is already a super level of performance.
Edward himself is not good at this, and Chris, probably because of race, black people are naturally prone to drunkenness.
Anyway, life passed so well that Edward often wondered about the braised pork Moutai on the table, he seemed to be in China in the 21st century, but when he saw the black guy opposite, pinching the wine glass with three fingers, holding his breath and drinking the liquor carefully, he felt a trace of magical time and space confusion.
Hansen didn't know where he heard about Edward's good craftsmanship, so he brought Carl Wright to the door when he was fine, ahem...... Usually at half past six in the evening......
This is the time for Edward and Chris to have dinner.
Loving someone is helpless about it.
According to the traditional wisdom of the East, Hansen is certainly not a serious person, and belongs to a veritable rooster and dog thief.
But this kind of person usually looks inconspicuous, but at critical moments, he can often play the role of a surprise soldier.
If it weren't for him, Edward wouldn't have had a chance to marry George Duffy, wouldn't he?
Besides, after these days of contact, Edward's sense of Hansen has also changed somewhat.
Previously it was a bastard.
Right now......
Still a bastard, of course
But a bastard with ideals and a high moral standard.
As a white, heterosexual, Protestant, he is willing to speak up for NGER, fagots, women, and all religions, which is not easy in this era when racial, gender, and orientation discrimination is still prevalent.
And although Chris still doesn't have a good face for this guy, he also admits that the last time he was surrounded by gangsters, if it wasn't for this bastard who led a large group of bastards to break the siege, I am afraid that he would probably have to enter the hospital bed in 1969 again.
As for Carl Wright, he is very acquainted, and he has always only eaten and not spoken, so everyone just let it go.
Hansen wanted to repay them, and brought a few girls over every once in a while, and they were all good looking.
But it didn't work.
One is a devout Catholic who insists on rejecting premarital X behavior, Hansen believes that using a finger or tongue or something is not X behavior, or the woman can reasonably circumvent this prohibition with her mouth and other holes, after all, everyone is a blood law, and the basic quality of seeing the red light bypassing and solving the problem has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
However, religion is really a terrifying thing, and the black man resolutely shook his head in opposition to this situation.
Angry, Hansen cursed him for holding back a belly of frogs sooner or later.
As for Edward, he put it bluntly: "Thank you for your kindness, my friend, but I really don't need that, you know, Meghan is so annoying!" You know, she was a cheerleader in college, and her best friend, the vice captain of the cheerleading team, I also know, and these two girls are always competing......"
After speaking, he usually puts on a posture of being overwhelmed.
In the face of such Versailles, Hansen can only wish him an early death on Meghan's belly......
