"Does anyone have any clues about the shooting of Brooklyn Lee?" John Manning asked, still looking ugly, as he sat down.

Brooklyn watched intently as others reacted. The current situation is not what he wants, but since it has come to this point, he can only continue to walk.

Barry has been expelled, but his influence has remained in the venue. Before Barry spoke, Brooklyn had the opportunity to live peacefully with everyone, and he fit well into the Harvard community.

But when Barry spoke, everything changed. A group of people can work together for a certain goal, and they can work together without any trouble, but once someone makes a distinction between this group of people, such as men and women, such as old and young, such as black and white...... Whatever it is, as long as this group of people is distinguished, the group will quickly split.

Even if everyone says, 'I don't care,' the seeds of care have already been planted. That's where Brooklyn is today.

Barry came up with the criterion for differentiation – skin color. So whether you really care or not, the people present will naturally follow this standard and make a simple classification in their minds.

Barry is white-skinned, just like them. Brooklyn is yellow-skinned, unlike them. Brooklyn squeezed Barry away.

Even though it was Barry who brought it on himself, even though it was a powerful move that Brooklyn had to make, even though it was Barry who provoked Brooklyn first, even though they knew it was wrong.

But they couldn't help but think that it was Brooklyn who squeezed out Barry. Barry and they are both white-skinned.

In other words, Brooklyn sent away their companions. Every creature feels for its kind! Such ideas are not controlled.

Because the human brain is unable to process negative information. For example, when someone says, 'Don't think red, don't think about red,' the brain will pull up the red submission and ask, 'Is it impossible to think of this color?'

’。 This way of dealing with it sounds like a retard. But that's exactly how the human brain works.

Many lawyers will take advantage of this to defend themselves in court. They deliberately say something that will inevitably be withdrawn to impress the jury, and then wait for the opponent to object, and immediately obediently say, 'I will take back what I said,' but can the words really be taken back?

The judge will often prompt the jury to 'ask the jury to ignore what XXX has just said.' When these words reach the ears of the jury, the jurors' brains will automatically start working, looking up the previous statements and asking them to verify whether they can't think about this.

Barry's words echo those words. Brooklyn was accepted by the Harvard School, but reluctantly.

Everyone is indifferent to him, and it's good that his attitude is not good or bad. But Brooklyn is not without solutions.

Engaging in small groups and excluding others, Brooklyn is also very proficient in playing. It's nothing more than making a lot of friends and a few enemies.

Brooklyn needs to first observe people's specific attitudes towards themselves, distinguish between potential friends and foes, and make adjustments at any time.

But that's not Brooklyn's main purpose. John Manning supported him to the throne in order to solve the problem, not to let him do the split.

The party is the same as the other, you can do it slowly in the future, and now he must show the ability to let John Manning know that he is worthy of what he does.

He can have a certain degree of fearlessness, but he cannot be fearless without restraint. Although this fearlessness was earned by himself.

Brooklyn was glad that John Manning asked him for his opinion during his office conversation after the public lecture yesterday, and he didn't go around in circles, but chose to get to the heart of the contradiction.

That brief conversation gave him a slight advantage for the moment. Otherwise, the title of 'Harvard's most outstanding young man' alone would not be enough to make John Manning tolerate Brooklyn so much."

The thoughts swirled around in his head, and Brooklyn gathered his thoughts, waiting for someone else's answer.

John Manning's questions are a good test to help him distinguish between potential friends and enemies.

"On the night of the incident, there were people from the military involved." An old man with glasses sitting across from Brooklyn spoke.

According to Burke, the old man's name was Jack Calvin and he worked on the Judicial Conduct Committee.

"Who?" John Manning asked. Jack shifted his buttocks, his elbows propped up on the table

"Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley Aldington."

"This has something to do with the proposal?" John Manning asked, frowning. Jack shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"All I know is that he's involved." Jack Road

"Maybe Brooklyn should call his girlfriend and ask."

"Mark Milai canceled the follow-up mission." A young man next to Jack spoke. The young man was one of Justice Anthony Kennedy's assistants and came to the meeting on behalf of Justice Anthony Kennedy.

Anthony Kennedy is one of nine justices in the Supreme Court, but retired last year.

The justice had a special position when he was on the Supreme Court. He is believed to be the only swing vote among the nine justices.

He has sided with liberals in rulings on issues such as gay rights, health care reform, and the death penalty, while supporting conservatives in rulings on religious freedom, gun control, campaign finance laws, and more.

But overall, Anthony Kennedy was considered a conservative, moderate conservative. In addition, Justice Anthony Kennedy studied at Stanford University and Harvard University.

Like his performance on the Supreme Court, the justice often oscillates back and forth between Stanford and Harvard.

However, Stanford is not as 'aggressive' as Harvard and Yale, Stanford is a cold man, and there are not many conflicts between the two, so Anthony Kennedy does not need to do much when he is old.

Because of this, he has a lot of status on both sides. After all, there is no group that can let a justice go unpunished.

There are many more existences like Anthony Kennedy, swaying on both sides, left and right...... This is actually the norm at the top.

But Anthony Kennedy actually supported himself, which surprised Brooklyn. At this time, almost all those who are willing to provide clues can be counted as 'moderaters'.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, but the young man was not stage frightened, he sorted out his thoughts a little and said

"The assassination mission against the Brooklyn judge was posted on a well-known information platform and was later canceled by Mark Milley Aldington. The goal of the mission is to assassinate Judge Brooklyn, Frank Reagan, and David Portman, and then infiltrate the NYPD to shut up Frederick. ”

"Mark Milley Aldington got the news and canceled the mission." The young man briefly explained everything he knew, or what Justice Anthony Kennedy had allowed him to reveal.

No one is stupid enough to ask Anthony Kennedy how he got the news. It's not just stupid, it's stupid.

"Any other clues?" John Manning asked. No one spoke again. John Manning looked at Brooklyn.

"Thank you for your help." Brooklyn sincerely thanks

"I'll handle this matter myself." Seeing what John Manningxiang said, Brooklyn said firmly

"Professor Manning, I think you didn't recommend me to sit here for my own personal reasons."

"It's not your business." John Manning said solemnly

"You sit here, and what is directed at you is no longer your own business." He said, looking at the others

"What about you?" Jack Calvin took off his glasses, took the cloth from his pocket, and wiped them unhurriedly, just as he said.

"John is right, Brooklyn, although we were a little unhappy before, now you are one of us."

"Unpleasant things can be solved internally." A muscular man at the end of the opposite side chimed in

"Calvin was right."

"An action against you is also a provocation to Harvard. As a whole, we must respond immediately and favorably. As he spoke, the man clenched his fists and gestured in a boxing position.

Burke quietly poked Brooklyn and whispered

"It's not just for you, everybody does it when they encounter this kind of thing." Brooklyn nodded, taking a step back

"But now the situation is not clear, and there will be no results if the discussion continues. Let's move on and discuss other issues. John Manning nodded

"Okay, let's move on to the first agenda."

"The university rankings that you want to withdraw from." The big screen behind John Manning lays out this year's university rankings.

In fact, the federal university rankings are not made by any university league, Ivy League or the like, the so-called law school, Yale No. 1, Harvard, and No. 2, are actually ranked.

Every year, the universities are scored according to a weighting formula, and then ranked according to the scores.

This is what we all know as university rankings. It is not a ranking of a research institute or a consortium of universities, nor is it a ranking of a research institution or an official organization, but a ranking by a news company.

"According to the weighting formula given for the rankings, standardized test scores already account for 20 percent. Judging from the changes in recent years, this part of the proportion will continue to increase. With John Manning's words, the big screen began to show this information.

"If we want to keep our rankings, we have to choose students with better test scores, and then abandon 'partial students' who have flaws but are extremely talented in fixed fields."

"We've tried to make changes and give more trust to students who are good at exams, but they haven't been rewarded much. As we all know, we at Harvard are already behind Yale and Stanford in the future. We have to make a change. ”

The ranking has gone from an honor to a burden. I think it's time to ditch vanity and get back to basics. "Brooklyn didn't expect the first issue to be about schools.

This kind of issue should be said at the school board meeting rather than in the current setting. But given that Harvard Law School is the foundation of the Harvard School, and that the Harvard School attaches an unusual importance to Harvard Law School, it is understandable that John Manning chose to raise this issue at this meeting.

The admission criteria of federal universities often follow the standard that ability is greater than achievement, and that the ability to apply what is learned is greater than that of pure academic masters, and that students who can apply what they have learned are more worthy of training.

If you have a choice, of course, it is the best to apply what you have learned, but the reality is that most students simply can't do it, that is, they have a high ability to apply what they have learned.

The reason why Wood Ward's demon is called a demon is because he has both. Before Wood was killed, John Manning's search for a successor was not on Brooklyn.

From John Manning's point of view, Wood Ward has to be born and born, have grades, and have ability, except for being a little dull, the overall score should be too much better than Brooklyn, a guy who wants to blackmail himself at every turn.

It's just a pity that Wood Ward 'died young' and was killed shortly after being transferred to New York.

Of course, this also had to do with the fact that John Manning did not feel old at the time. At that time, John Manning was not in a hurry to find a successor.

Just like he did with Brooklyn in the first place, he was just selected as a candidate. It was only recently that John Manning, aware of his growing lack of energy, and even the beginning of a stirring within the Harvard faction to challenge his authority, that he had to put the selection of a successor on the agenda.

Wood Ward's death, his own old age, the fall of Harvard Law School, and the contradictions within the Harvard school all came together to force John Manning to hold his nose and recognize Brooklyn.

But in all fairness, John Manning was not happy with Brooklyn as his successor. Regardless of skin color and ethnicity, Brooklyn was too lonely compared to Wood Ward, and John Manning was worried that Brooklyn would be mired in internal strife and unable to extricate himself, and he could not wait for the day when he unified the interior and began to solve the problem, and the Harvard faction would be wiped out.

But missing Brooklyn, John Manning counted nearly 10 graduating classes one by one, and couldn't find a more suitable candidate.

He could only recognize Brooklyn. If it weren't for the fact that there were no alternatives, John Manning had already blacked Brooklyn during the racist incident.

He's John Manning! How dare you threaten him? John Manning explained the pros and cons of dropping out of the rankings, and his eyes unexpectedly glanced at Brooklyn, which happened to be in front of Brooklyn.

"Brooklyn, do you think you should quit?" John Manning felt a little gambled inexplicably, and asked by name in an unkind tone.

Brooklyn, who was named, did not immediately give an answer. John Manning's eyes just now made his heart furious.

It was a very strange feeling. It was clear that John Manning was just an ordinary old man, but it made him feel creepy.

He knew in his heart that this was the result of his repeated persecution of John Manning, and the old man was angry!
