Chapter 38: Nate was betrayed based on his weight

The next afternoon, on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral.

Dan got out of the taxi and looked up at the twin-towered Gothic church in front of him, which was inconspicuous among the skyscrapers.

Usually there are a large number of admiring tourists waiting in line at the entrance of the church, but today is an exception.

The main door of the church was closed. Dan met a priest in white at the door. After explaining his purpose, the priest led him in through a narrow door on one side.

This was not Dan's first visit to St. Patrick's Cathedral, but every time he entered, he was deeply shocked by the majestic space inside the church.

It doesn't look very big from the outside, but it's as if magic has been cast inside, and the space is astonishingly large.

In the middle of the rows of benches, sat an old man with silver hair and a straight back.

After confirming that the other party was the person he wanted to see, Dan walked straight over.

"Mr. Vanderbilt?"

The old man turned his head.

What caught Dan's eyes was a familiar face that was fifty or sixty percent similar to Nate's, and a pair of eyes full of wisdom, looking at him with a smile.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Humphrey."

Grandpa Nate nodded at Dan and complimented him.

"You are very punctual."

Dan felt a little embarrassed. This was the first time in his life that he had to face such a high-ranking figure, so nervousness was inevitable.

Grandpa Nate smiled and motioned for Dan to sit next to him.

Dan immediately confessed to Grandpa Nate.

"Nate didn't come to my house last night. I called him and he said he would come over tonight."

Grandpa Nate nodded with satisfaction.

"Nate was with his mom last night and this happened and his mom desperately needed his company."

Dan originally wanted to ask Nate about his dad, but thought better of it.

When facing such a big shot, don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked.

Seeing that Dan was still sensible, Grandpa Nate asked bluntly:

"Do you know why I asked you here?"

"You want me to persuade Nate to go home?"

Dan carefully stated his guess.

Grandpa Nate turned to look at Dan and asked with a smile:
"So are you sure?"

Dan immediately shook his head.

He and Nate had only come into contact more recently. Although they went to the same high school in the past, they had nothing in common.

If he hadn't been kind enough to take Nate in, Dan would never have had the chance to sit next to Grandpa Nate, let alone chat with him.

Grandpa Nate shrugged, knowing that Dan's reaction was exactly what he expected.

"I heard that you are planning to apply to the Yale Literature Department and become a writer in the future?"

Although he didn't know why the topic suddenly turned to him, Dan still nodded honestly.

"Your grades in school are very good, and your SAT scores are also good, but you should know that these alone do not meet Yale's admission threshold, especially if you want to get a full scholarship."

Dan looked at Grandpa Nate quizzically.

It’s not surprising that the other party knows so much about him. What’s strange is why is the other party telling him all this at this time?
Grandpa Nate laughed.

He likes to talk to smart people.

"Yale is my alma mater, and I've always wanted Nate to go to school there, but I heard things are changing now. Nate joined a business plan proposed by a friend, and all the friends who started the business with him are... Prepare to apply to Harvard.”

Dan blurted out:

"So you're going to stop Nate from going to Harvard too?"

Grandpa Nate immediately shook his head.

"I know that the outside world has always regarded Harvard and Yale as 'rivals.' It is true that the two schools have always competed with each other in various fields, but for the Vanderbilt family, there is actually no difference between attending these two schools. In fact, If Nate chooses to go to Harvard, I will be very happy." The more Dan heard, the more he felt something was wrong.

Grandpa Nate wanted Nate to go to Harvard, so why did he come here?
At this moment Grandpa Nate suddenly turned his head and looked at Dan.

"What about you? All your good friends choose Harvard. Are you still determined to go to Yale?"

"I……"

Seeing Dan's hesitation, Grandpa Nate already knew the answer.

"You can think about it slowly. We might as well make a deal first! During the time Nate lives in your house, if you can convince Nate to choose Harvard or Yale, I will help you write a letter of recommendation. , both Harvard and Yale, it can help you enter your favorite major and get a full scholarship."

This was totally pie-in-the-sky for Dan, but he quickly calmed down.

Just as he was about to question, Grandpa Nate spoke first.

"I know what you want to say. You and Nate are not familiar with each other. It is difficult for you to influence his decision. And I know this clearly, so why do I still want to find you?"

Dan couldn't agree more.

However, what Grandpa Nate said next was beyond his expectation.

"I don't need you to convince Nate, I just need you to convince someone who can convince Nate."

"Actually, I have more than one date with you today. Can you guess who will be the next person to walk in here?"

While Dan was stunned, a name quickly flashed in his mind.

"Jamie?"

"correct answer!"

The sound came from the back of the church.

Dan turned around in surprise and found Jamie sitting on the last row of chairs in the church.

God knows when he came in!

"Mr. Vanderbilt, I'm sorry that I came a few minutes early. I shouldn't have disturbed your conversation, right?"

Jamie stood up and Shi Shiran walked to Grandpa Nate.

"No, you came just in time, we were just talking about you."

Grandpa Nate stood up and took the initiative to hand over his hand.

When shaking hands, Jamie asked curiously:

"What are you talking about about me? Kidnapping your grandson to start a business?"

Grandpa Nate smiled and replied:

"On the contrary, I think Nate's shares in WeHouse are too small. Is there any way to increase it?"

"I think Nate was more interested in proving he was worthy of the shares through his own efforts than having a grandpa who cared about him."

After a brief exchange of words, the two were almost even.

After the handshake was over, Nate went straight to the point and asked:
"I'm discussing with Dan how to persuade Nate to choose Harvard or Yale. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Jamie glanced at Dan beside him.

"I plan to move WeHouse's headquarters to Boston next year. What do you think?"

Grandpa Nate smiled with satisfaction.

"good idea."

That way there would be no need to worry about Nate considering colleges elsewhere.

While Dan was still dazed, Grandpa Nate suddenly turned to look at him.

"Mr. Humphrey, when you decide which school you want to go to, remember to call me and let me know."

Turn around and leave.

Dan still felt unbelievable until Grandpa Nate's back disappeared outside the church door.

He had been chatting with Grandpa Nate for such a long time, and Jamie had only been here for a few minutes, and the letter of recommendation was settled just like that?
