I am a necromancer, and I absolutely love America.

Calderson walked up to Richard; he had already recognized the young man from the East.

When Brian asked to write his letter of recommendation, he sent Richard's photo and information to Calderson.

Richard easily noticed the hint of contempt hidden in Calderson's eyes.

Richard had lived in the United States for several years and was all too familiar with that look.

It's just discrimination.

Many white people discriminate against other races, but most white people are good at pretending and don't show it on their faces. They use feigned politeness to distance themselves and keep their distance.

Calderson had no goodwill toward Richard whatsoever.

Richard could not control it; he could not increase desires and emotions that did not exist.

Richard was too lazy to waste his magic to lessen Calderson's disgust, and even too lazy to get angry.

There are too many white people like this in the lighthouse; it's impossible to get over them.

If the opportunity arises in the future, Richard wouldn't mind stepping on him; if not, it doesn't matter.

Dominic looked at Richard with curiosity, feeling a little annoyed. Richard was obviously more handsome than him. Although they were both Asian, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that Richard was more handsome and taller than him.

This greatly displeased Dominic, who always prided himself on being handsome and dashing.

What's even more peculiar is that there's a special light in Richard's eyes, indescribable, but one that everyone who sees it will remember.

Calderson looked Richard up and down, then said with a serious expression:

"The lucky kid who saved Congressman Anderson! I'll be keeping an eye on you. If your grades aren't good enough, you definitely won't get into Princeton! Don't take that letter of recommendation as an inside recommendation. I won't block you, but I won't just let you in!"

The people around Richard looked at him curiously. It wasn't easy to get a letter of recommendation from Calderson, but it seemed that Calderson didn't like Richard very much.

Everyone praised it:

"Professor Calderson is truly fair."

"Princeton is truly rigorous in its academic pursuits."

"No wonder it's an Ivy League school!"

......

A fame-seeking opportunist. Richard saw through Old Deng's true colors.

That old man just likes to pretend, posing as a fair and rigorous scientific researcher.

Every year, 20% to 30% of people get into Princeton with "super recommendation letters".

You're now shamelessly talking to me about fairness?

Not just Princeton, but all the Ivy League schools are like this.

Of the eight Ivy League schools, not one dares to publicly disclose statistics on "super recommendation letters." What are you trying to prove with me?

There was a classic example from Dongda University many years ago.

After staying at the home of a Supreme Court aide for several months, the mother and daughter obtained a letter of recommendation from the aide and successfully gained admission to Harvard.

Meanwhile, none of the universities her daughter applied to accepted her.

You can't say that Harvard, a prestigious university, has lower requirements than other universities, can you?

After returning to China, the mother and daughter wrote a bestselling book that swept the country, detailing how to raise their daughter to get into Harvard and make a fortune, and how to cultivate willpower by holding ice, among other things.

However, he was vague about a certain experience.

Richard said solemnly:

"I wholeheartedly agree with the professor! Princeton is a great school, and everyone must earn their place through genuine merit!"

Something about that sounded a little off. Calderson didn't think much of it, pointing to his eyes and then to Richard:

"That's very well said, I hope you can do it!"

After saying that, he quickly left, and the crowd followed him away.

Dominic deliberately lagged behind the crowd, looking at Richard, and felt much better.

So this guy was the lucky one who saved Senator Anderson?

With just this connection, you think you can get into Princeton?

My dad is an alumnus, my grandpa is an alumnus, what's your status?

You think you're worthy of going to the same school as me?

Dominic was very polite.

"Your advisor is very rigorous in their scholarship, don't worry about it. Good luck! I'll be waiting for you at Princeton!"

After saying that, he left with a smile.

Richard simply watched him leave with a faint smile.

His 12-point mental state allowed him to keenly sense everyone's good or evil towards him, and coupled with his desire-based perception, Dominic's suppressed jealousy and schadenfreude were laid bare before him.

Richard just couldn't understand what this kid was jealous of.

......

In a corner, Roman, the director of Nancy Health Center, had already arrived and was chatting with the directors of several other public hospitals.

He unexpectedly saw Richard and even witnessed him exchanging a few words with Calderson, which made him secretly suspicious.

This kid is quite the schemer. He not only managed to get into Senator Anderson's banquet, but he also managed to get in touch with the dean of Princeton. He's a real talent!

Roman raised his glass and walked toward Calderson with a smile, as he also needed to have a chat with the dean of this top university.

Calderson is also a medical researcher, and who knows what important positions his students hold? He can't afford to offend them easily.

……

The parking lot at Brian Manor.

As soon as Tang Yuanfan got out of the car, he warned Tang Yuqing in a low voice:

"You'd better behave yourself today and don't cause any trouble!"

Tang Yuqing's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly:

"Don't worry, Dad! When have I ever held you back?"

The manor, the mansion, the wealthy in suits, the ladies in evening gowns—everything matched her fantasy of high society.

"Dad, you're amazing! How did you get an invitation to this kind of banquet?"

Tang Yuanfan was quite pleased with himself:

"Your dad has been working in New York for over twenty years, so I have some connections."

Tang Yuanfan is in the medical device export business, and HRSA is a major client. When Warren Carter came, he naturally wanted to get close to him.

I also brought my daughter along to broaden her horizons, so she wouldn't hang out with a bunch of muscle-bound football players every day, acting like an idiot.

As soon as Tang Yuanfan entered the banquet, he greeted several business partners with his daughter.

He had been in New York for a long time and had many acquaintances there.

Of course, most people only know that there is a Chinese medical device businessman whose relationship with Tang Yuanfan is just so-so.

After that, Tang Yuanfan took his wine glass and squeezed into Roman's small circle.

This circle consists of senior executives from various hospitals, making it a great business opportunity.

Tang Yuqing was then free to move around as she pleased.

Holding a glass of juice, she looked around excitedly; this was her first time attending such a high-end banquet.

The entire scene had been divided into large and small circles.

The innermost circle naturally consisted of bigwigs like Brian, Theodore, and Calderson, who were the focus of the entire banquet.

The largest group consists of young and middle-aged people, centered around the children of officials and students, such as Dovik and Minique.

Tang Yuqing set her sights on this circle.

She tried to join in, carrying her juice like the other young people, but she couldn't get a word in edgewise and could only stand on the sidelines, with no one even glancing at her.

Tang Yuqing was not discouraged, but felt that this was just how high society was.

"Look! That's Mr. Theodore; I hear he's going to be re-elected mayor this year!"

"That's Mr. Miles, the NYPD Superintendent!"

"That's Congressman Richard's eldest son. I wonder why Congressman Richard isn't here today; perhaps he's not feeling well..."

Dominic spoke with great enthusiasm, reciting the stories with great familiarity, and quickly became the heart of the group.

Everyone's attention was focused on Brian and his group of big shots, filled with envy, wondering when they could join them.

"Huh? Isn't that Richard?"

Tang Yuqing saw Richard in the corner.

Richard sat alone in the corner, looking out of place.

"How did he get in here?"

Tang Yuqing held the wine glass with an air of unparalleled elegance.

Hmph! This kind of NERD has no chance of surviving in American high society.

Even if he gets into Princeton, so what?

At best, he's just a miserable doctor.

It takes at least twenty years to become the head of a department.

Moreover, Chinese Americans face a glass ceiling when working in the United States; how easy is it for them to climb to the position of department head?

At this moment, the scene fell silent.

Everyone looked curiously towards the door, where they saw a radiant beauty accompanying an elderly man as they entered.

She wore only a conservative light-colored evening gown, a matching knitted shawl, long blonde hair, and simple earrings.

What looked ordinary on others appeared so radiant and beautiful on this girl that she attracted everyone's attention.

"Professor Flint, Professor Flint from St. John's University! Who's the girl next to him? His granddaughter? She's so beautiful!"

"Ah, I think I'm in love!"

"Go to hell! You fall in love with every guy you meet."

The young people were quiet for a moment, then started chatting softly.

However, the men couldn't help but glance at the beautiful woman a few more times, and their voices were much lower than before.

Dominic was no exception; his eyes lit up as he looked at the beautiful woman, and he even forgot to brag.

The beautiful woman seemed very shy, and when she noticed everyone's eyes on her, she even became a little flustered.

Richard also noticed the unusual situation and looked up.

Huh?

Isn't this my neighbor, the forensic pathologist Helen who filmed the OF video?

This was the first time he had ever seen Helen dressed so beautifully.

She usually wears simple T-shirts and jeans, but today she's probably wearing an evening gown for a banquet.

Even Richard was surprised that she looked so stunning in formal attire.
