Charlie looked up and saw Steve Rothschild shaking his slightly fat body as he rushed over.
Once standing in front of him, Charlie asked curiously, “How did you get here so quickly?”
“Fast?” Steve laughed and said, “Not really fast. I came here as soon as I got the news, and I even made sure the plane flew a little faster, but it still took almost four hours.”
Charlie then realizes that he and Maria have been in the school history museum for several hours.
I had been reading about my mother for the past few hours and hadn’t noticed the time.
Then the principal stepped forward respectfully and said to Steve, “Mr. Rothschild, your presence is an honor for Stanford!”
Steve was trying to find a way to flatter Charlie, so he didn’t look at Charlie’s praise and just replied casually, “Okay, okay, it’s none of your business. Just continue with your work. I’ll accompany Mr. Wade. I’ll have someone tell you if anything happens.”
The principal, who was helpless, could only nod awkwardly: “Yes, Mr. Rothschild, I am ready to help you at any time.”
Charlie patted Steve on the shoulder and said, “Steve, why don’t you find a place to rest with the principal? I’ll show Miss Lin around and let you know if anything happens.”
Steve felt a little annoyed when he thought that it was the same sentence he used to get rid of the principal. After all, the principal was still there, and if he heard about it, he would lose face.
But of course he didn’t dare to show any dissatisfaction to Charlie, so he quickly nodded and said, “Okay, Mr. Wade, let me know if you need anything.”
The principal was shocked and couldn’t help thinking about Charlie and Maria’s identities. It was surprising that these two young people knew Steve Rothschild, but he never expected that Steve would come to look for them. What’s more, they didn’t seem to be flattered at all, but instead thought it was all just normal.
Steve, in his arrogance, thought that Charlie probably came to Stanford to send the girl he was with, so he said to the principal, “Come on, let’s have a good talk. I have something to tell you.”
Hearing that, the principal was very happy. He wasn’t worried that Steve would underestimate him; he was just afraid Steve wouldn’t even bother looking at him. Now that Steve took the initiative to talk to him, it proved that he at least had a chance to talk to the second person in the Rothschild family.
So the principal immediately arranged for his secretary to meet the guest in his office, and then respectfully invited Steve to his office.
On the way to the office building in a golf cart, Stanford’s president carefully asked Steve, “Mr. Rothschild, what is your relationship with those two Asian-looking young men?”
Steve didn’t try to hide it either, saying, “That young man is my boss.”
“boss?!”
The principal was silent.
How could a young man with an Asian face be the boss of the legal heir of the Rothschild family? It sounds as absurd as Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, working for someone else.
Seeing his surprised expression, Steve couldn’t help but laugh and said, “What? Surprised?”
The principal nodded obediently and said, “Surprised, very surprised and don’t understand…”
Steve said calmly, “There’s no need to tell you all this, but since these two people have taken the trouble to come to Stanford, they might need your help in the future. Remember, Mr. Wade is my boss. When he comes to Stanford, it’s the same as when I came. Whatever he asks you to do, you have to do it. Even if he asks you to tear down a building at Stanford, just arrange someone to do it. When you’re done, come to me, and I’ll reimburse you for the costs.”
The principal was even more shocked and didn’t know what to say.
Steve couldn’t help but mutter, “Why are you standing there? Did you hear what I just said?”
The principal snapped out of his thoughts and quickly nodded respectfully, saying, “I heard you clearly! Don’t worry, I will definitely carry out your orders!”
