After chatting for a few words, the girl named Melanie realized that Eric might not be able to take her own car. Although she failed to strike up a conversation with the boy for the first time, Melanie politely talked to Eric. Ke said goodbye and drove away.
The red Ford car drove across the Charles River, and after a few tens of meters, Melanie turned into a small road and parked the car in the wide parking lot in front of Harvard Business School. Melanie bought it from the rear compartment. Some daily necessities, some absent-mindedly walked towards an apartment building on the east side of the parking lot, still thinking about the appearance of the guy just now, the feeling of deja vu came to her heart again, this time, Melanie realized that it was definitely not psychological She must have seen that guy somewhere because of her sense of sight.
All the way to the apartment on the third floor, put the convenience bag on the coffee table in the living room, and inadvertently saw the "Business Week" next to it, and Melanie suddenly realized that she picked up the "Business Week" in front of her. "turned over.
"Business Week" was bought by Melanie's roommate. That little girl from a British aristocratic family would often read information about a big Hollywood figure in the newspaper. It is said that the two had a brief encounter. Therefore, she was ridiculed as a little nymphomaniac.
Quickly flipping through a few pages, Melanie quickly found a photo of Eric in high spirits at the signing conference of Firefly's acquisition of abc. She stretched out her hand to cover the eyes of Eric's head portrait, and then fantasized about Eric for a moment. Ke put on the casual clothes of that guy just now, finally threw the magazine back to the coffee table, leaned on the sofa and said to himself: "It really is Eric Williams, no wonder he even I don’t even want to introduce myself.”
Thinking of how every time she caught that shy roommate secretly flipping through the news about Eric Williams in the newspaper, she would hit him with all kinds of gossip about the young Hollywood tycoon, Melanie felt inexplicably Feel a little ashamed. Melanie couldn't help recalling the brief encounter between the two just now. Although Eric refused to introduce himself, the gentlemanly way he helped him open the trunk, as well as the humor and casualness in his words, proved that he absolutely Is a very attractive man. Perhaps, if he had actually gotten into his car at the time. And revealed her identity, knowing what kind of person he is, she probably would find it difficult to resist this attraction.
Thinking of this, Melanie couldn't help but said to herself: "If the little nymphomaniac knows that Eric Williams has come to Boston, she will definitely be very happy."
Melanie knew that there was no connection between that little nymphomaniac and Eric Williams. Realizing this, she suddenly hesitated, or rather jealous, from the bottom of her heart. She didn't want to tell the other party about it. Imagine seeing her roommate secretly flipping through his information like a mouse looking for food in the future, but she had a chance encounter with his real person on a certain street, Melanie felt a faint sense of superiority and satisfaction.
…
Eric looked at the road signs beside the road, and realized that the Soldiers Factory that Melanie had just mentioned was probably the residential area east of Harvard Business School.
All the way to the campus of Harvard Business School, looking at the school buildings shaded by the surrounding green trees, Eric wandered aimlessly for a while, walked to a bench at the crossroads of a teaching building and sat down, casually looking through sunglasses Looking at the students in twos and threes, they were also looked at by some curious eyes from time to time.
Any mysterious place that has been admired for a long time in the mind, in fact, once you are there. There is no sense of mystery.
Inexplicably, he lost interest. After sitting for a while, Eric felt a little hungry. He was planning to find a restaurant to eat something, when he heard the voices of a man and a woman coming out of the intersection beside him.
"Caroline, I got a movie ticket for Universal's "The Mummy". Let's watch it together tonight, starring Nicole Kidman."
"Thank you for your invitation, Howard, but I'm sorry. I don't like Nicole Kidman," a female voice with an obvious British accent replied politely. Although she was refusing, her tone was still a bit naive .
Eric heard the name Caroline and the girl's standard British aristocratic accent. Turning his head in great surprise, he looked at the petite figure walking side by side with another tall young man from the side path, and suddenly didn't know whether to say hello or not. Feeling Caroline's deep affection for him at the beginning, Eric didn't want this innocent girl like an elf to be hurt, and he didn't want her to come into contact with the noisy and impetuous Vanity Fair of Hollywood, so he ruthlessly drove the girl back to her Go back to the original life track.
Didn't expect it to be less than a year. The two met again here.
Caroline Wilson felt that the young man wearing sunglasses sitting on the bench suddenly turned his head to look at him, subconsciously looked over, and then seemed to be frozen instantly, and stayed there for three or four seconds until Ai Rick took the initiative to stand up, and Caroline blinked her big beautiful eyes in disbelief. Although Eric's image at this time was very different from what he remembered, and he was still wearing sunglasses, Caroline could still see it at a glance. Eric was recognized.
"Eric, you, you...how are you here?" Caroline stammered a little, her small body took a step forward as if attracted by some kind of magnetism, but she came to her senses again, and stopped with some restraint. He stepped down, but still bravely stared at Eric with his small face up, as if he was afraid that Eric would disappear if he blinked.
Eric thought that Caroline would not recognize him easily, and planned to pass by pretending to be a passerby. Unexpectedly, the girl stayed there the first time she saw him. Knowing that it was impossible to escape, she took the initiative to get up . Seeing the girl looking at him with the same emotion in his eyes, Eric sighed slightly in his heart, but he took the initiative to spread his arms and said with a smile: "Long time no see, why don't you give me a hug?"
Lost in some kind of powerful magnetic field again in an instant, Caroline felt herself walking forward in a daze, feeling those powerful arms embracing her and patting her back. She had just mustered up her courage Wanting to hug Eric, Eric had already let go of her and asked, "Why are you here?"
Although a little disappointed, Caroline still replied: "I am studying here."
"Here, business school?" Eric was a little surprised at first, and then he couldn't help laughing out loud, although Eric knew that Caroline had all the qualities needed to be a top student during his time in Europe. But this is Harvard Business School, Eric can hardly imagine what it would be like for a simple and shy little person like Caroline to be mixed in with a group of ambitious guys trying to become business elites.
The tall young man who was directly ignored was already extremely depressed when he saw that among the girls whom he had been chasing for a long time but couldn't even get hold of, they threw themselves into the arms of other men so easily. Hearing what Eric said, the young man named Howard finally felt that he had found an opportunity to intervene, and stepped forward and said, "Mr. Why can't Caroline go to business school? Are you discriminatory?"
Eric hadn't answered yet, but Caroline, who was blushing at Eric's slightly teasing laughter, immediately retorted for Eric: "Howard, how can you say that. Eric is just joke."
Since he was reborn, what Eric hates the most is that some people frequently put the label of discrimination on others, especially in Hollywood, out of scruples about racial discrimination, the glass-hearted black movie star group has now basically got the only acting role. Nice guy's 'special treatment'. And whether the film actually needs it or not. All mainstream films must have a large number of black actors, leading audiences in other countries to have the illusion that blacks account for 50% of the total population of the United States instead of only 10%.
However, in such a society, many things are destined to be endured. For such provocations, Eric usually chooses to completely ignore them.
Hearing Caroline defending herself, Eric showed a faint smile, completely ignoring the young man next to him, and said, "I'm just discriminating against you. I really want to see how you are in the business school class."
Caroline glared at him shyly, but the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and said, "Eric, you are still so bad."
Eric almost couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch that delicate face, and said, "Since you met, take me around, I don't know where to go yet."
Caroline was a little excited when she thought of how the two had been together in Europe before: "Okay."
Eric pointed to a building not far away: "Then let's go, take me to the library first."
Eric chose to ignore the young man named Howard, but Caroline's upbringing did not allow her to do so. Seeing that Eric was about to leave, the girl pulled Eric's sleeve, motioned to the young man beside her, and said softly: "Eric, you can't be so rude."
Hearing Caroline's words, the young man with a slightly green face who was made by Eric's ignoring attitude seemed to have replenished a bottle of energy potion in an instant, thinking that this was an opportunity for him to show his gentlemanly demeanor in front of Caroline, with a humble attitude Stretched out his hand to Eric: "Hi, I'm Howard Heinz."
Although the young man tried his best to make his tone appear humble, when he revealed his last name. Still unconsciously with obvious arrogance.
Since the other party deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of 'Heinz', it is of course impossible for Eric to guess the other party's background, a member of the Heinz family who controls the Heinz Group, the largest food company in the world.
Eric never had any intention of accommodating people he didn't like. Moreover, in this world now, there are really few guys who want to find some sense of superiority from themselves, and this one in front of him is even less likely to be one of them. Since the other party didn't recognize him yet, Eric certainly didn't mind introducing himself, took off the sunglasses he had been wearing all the time, Eric reached out and shook the other party: "Hello, I'm Eric Williams. "
…
Walking side by side with Eric on the boulevard, Caroline recalled the funny look of Howard Heinz who almost fell on the spot after hearing Eric's self-introduction just now, and finally failed to maintain a ladylike attitude, and suddenly smiled softly When she got up, seeing Eric staring at her, Caroline blushed and said, "Eric, Howard has always been the proudest person in our class. You must have hurt your self-esteem now."
Eric picked up some slippery sunglasses, continued to walk forward, and said: "Since he regards his family status as his source of self-esteem, of course he must have the awareness that someone more powerful than his family will be hurt. "
Caroline followed Eric step by step, looked up at Eric with her small face, and said with a little admiration in her tone, "There are not many people as powerful as you."
Eric asked, "Didn't you say that Harvard Business School has a lot of rich kids?"
"There are some, but not so many. Just like half of our class, half of them rely on loans to study for MBA, and they all work hard."
Eric remembered it again and asked, "Then what's going on with you, shouldn't you be in Cambridge?"
"Rachel said, if I don't do something that I don't dare to do, I will always have to live like other noble ladies, so I came to Harvard to study for an MBA," Caroline looked at But he was floating around, not daring to look at Eric.
Of course Eric knew that this girl came to the United States, mostly because of himself. Although he doesn't know much about the Wilson family, Eric can still imagine that Caroline can win the opportunity to study at Harvard, and she must have had a lot of disputes with her elders.
Seeing the girl's guilty appearance, Eric didn't want her to be too embarrassed, so he took the initiative to change the subject and said: "Harvard Business School should be very difficult to take, I heard that the acceptance rate is only 11%, and you should have missed the opportunity to apply last year gone?"
"My father and the dean of the business school are good friends, and our family has always donated to the place, and my father personally came forward to clear it."
"Oh..." Eric deliberately showed a look of surprise, and joked: "So you are a related party."
Caroline immediately raised her face and retorted solemnly: "No, I passed the entrance test."
"Well, related households who have passed the entrance test."
Caroline glared at Eric angrily: "You... hmph, I didn't realize how bad you were until I arrived in America."
Eric smiled and said, "What's wrong, tell me, so that I can correct the evil."
Caroline opened her mouth, and stopped for a moment before she wanted to speak, as if she felt that she would look very unlady when she saw Eric's gossip in the newspaper, she hesitated for a while, and finally said : "You were bad when you deliberately teased Howard just now."
The two walked into the library together for a while. Eric didn't like the cool-colored layout of the Harvard library very much. He only stayed for a while and then left quickly. He visited some other places until the evening. Then we walked into a small restaurant inside the campus together.
Eric ordered a beef burger at random, and asked Caroline who was sitting across from him, "Didn't it mean that business school students have countless homework to do every day, and study for fourteen hours a day? Why do you seem to be Looking very relaxed?"
"It was really busy at the beginning," Caroline nodded, "But our courses are almost over, and there won't be many courses next year, and many people are already looking for internship companies."
Thinking of the upcoming summer holidays, Eric realized that the United States has already started summer vacation for students in May, and today is May 18.
Because of being away from school for too long, Eric has no idea about these things. Hearing Caroline's last words, Eric said to Caroline jokingly: "You must also find a company for an internship, right? , why don't you come and be my assistant, my original assistant has just left."
Eric didn't finish saying this sentence through his brain, and immediately regretted it. Seeing the girl's eyes lit up instantly, Eric really wanted to slap himself on the spot, commit crimes, and say something bad. (To be continued.)
