Chapter 67: The Chelsea family's son-in-law
In today's meeting, Mrs. Chelsea actually said two things to President Jacques.
The first thing she had mentioned to Mellen was that Fort St. Grant would give the Half-Blood Association a batch of admissions.
This is also what President Jacques said to the old assessor.
Then the old man was stunned.
No wonder he didn't have knowledge. In fact, after living for decades, the old man was very knowledgeable.
But this fact is exaggerated.
The official establishment of the Half-Blood Association is actually less than 20 years old. It is mainly due to the blessing of the Chelsea family in Graham City that it has been formed and grown.
But before that, the rudiments of associations existed, in the form of loose federations and association clubs.
Therefore, the overall existence time of the Mixed-Blood Association is actually close to two hundred years.
In the past two hundred years, the concept and structure of the association have changed several times, but one thing remains unchanged.
Strive to elevate the status of the half-blood class in the entire wizarding world.
To this end, a large number of members of the association ran around and suffered humiliation, and countless people were willing to sacrifice their lives for this idea.
What they seek is a complete class promotion.
This inevitably requires the influence of half-blood wizards to penetrate into the small group of people who control the wizarding world.
However, it is difficult and requires "tickets".
That is, admission to top wizarding schools.
At the beginning of the establishment of the association, this admission ticket was regarded as one of the main goals to seek.
But until half a year ago, under the wise leadership of President Jacques Rancière, and a large number of members who spent countless financial resources, material resources and even energy.
They finally persuaded the General Administration of Wizarding Education of the Northern Empire to apply for a place in the Imperial College of Wizards and Wizards.
The more enlightened International Council of Wizards and Wizards Education Committee under its command has never allowed the mixed-race class to set foot in top wizarding schools.
Without entering top schools, half-blood wizards cannot extend their influence to the top of the wizarding world, and they can only hang out in the second and third tiers.
Therefore, this quota is very important and has epoch-making significance.
It can even be said that it is a historic moment!
However, now, this place that they cherished so much, even like a treasure, is suddenly not so precious...
Because of this meeting with Mrs. Chelsea, President Jacques got a batch from her.
Not one or two, not five or six, but at least twenty!
Twenty, compared to the hundreds of new students in Fort St. Grant each year, is really nothing.
But for the Mixed-Blood Association, this can no longer be said to be a big gift, but a mountain of treasure smashed on the forehead.
After a hundred years of pursuit, it was only for such a place, but now I have obtained a bunch of...
Anyone who gets hit is dumbfounded!
"Mrs. Chelsea claimed that if this group of people performed well this year, then next year and the next year, or even every year, the matter of quota will not be a problem..."
Sitting on the sofa smoking a pipe, President Jacques said to the old assessor and vice-chairman Victor in a complicated tone:
"I never knew, when did that lady attach so much importance to our association?"
"It may be related to several recent events."
The old examiner said thoughtfully, "But it doesn't seem possible to completely change the lady's attitude..."
"Perhaps she had a hunch about the importance of half-blood wizards?"
President Jacques murmured and suddenly laughed, "But this way, our development direction will change."
"What do you mean?"
"I originally thought of opening a branch in the Northern Empire and concentrating the association's resources there. Now there is no need for that."
The old president said: "Not only that, but things in the kingdom capital will also be eased, and we need to focus most of our energy on Graham City."
"Aren't we going to be deeply bound to the Chelsea family?"
The bald vice president on the side was surprised when he heard the words, "Didn't you say before that eggs can't be put in one basket?"
"I said that before because people looked down on us."
President Jacques waved his hand and said: "Now people are finally looking at it. If we don't show a positive attitude, we will be too ignorant to seize the opportunity."
In fact, a batch of admission places is important, but relatively speaking, the lady's attitude on this matter is actually more important.
Because this means that their association will finally have a backer starting today!
And it's a huge backer!
You must know that the Chelsea family has influence not only in the United Kingdom of Blackthorn, but also in the surrounding countries, archipelagos, colonies, and even the far east...
In the face of such a behemoth, the problem of deep binding, can it be called a problem?
If they rely more on the Chelsea family, the association will naturally be constrained by the family in the future, but with this backer, the development of the association will inevitably advance by leaps and bounds.
What their association pursues is not substantive interests, but the status of the overall mixed-race, and doing things for the wife does not affect their concept at all.
And, maybe it's not that simple...
After signaling the two to continue preparing for the memory inheritance ceremony, President Jacques, who was sitting alone in the office, unconsciously thought of the second thing that Mrs. Chelsea mentioned.
The second thing is actually more of a small talk than the first thing.
It's easy to say, but it refers to Iger of their association.
Mrs. Chelsea admired Iger very much, because the previous bad incident within the association was actually solved by Iger after reminding one of her subordinates.
Regarding this point, the old examiner actually had a guess with President Jacques, and now he has obtained the exact answer from his wife.
But that's not the most important thing.
Most importantly, based on this appreciative attitude, Mrs. Chelsea told him that she hoped Iger could become her daughter's classmate...
How to understand this sentence?
Normally, of course, President Jacques would not over-interpret it.
But in the relevant chat, Mrs. Chelsea fully showed that she had been paying attention to Iger for a long time, knew his temperament, and even his family and relatives knew something.
This inevitably makes the old president think a lot.
The huge Chelsea family, although there are many collaterals and a large number of subordinate employees and servants, but the core is actually two.
One is Mrs Chelsea.
The other, of course, is her daughter.
In this case, it can be said bluntly that whoever marries Mrs. Chelsea's daughter will be able to indirectly control the entire Chelsea family and control the huge assets throughout the known world.
And if the one who married the wife's daughter is a child of a big family, then after the wife's death in the future, the family can even use this relationship to directly swallow the interests of the Chelsea family!
Therefore, when he learned that the Chelsea family would marry the Felix family, President Jacques was still puzzled.
Because since he can figure out this joint, it is impossible for the lady to miss it.
And since she can think of it, why is she willing to marry the Felix family?
President Jacques originally guessed that Mrs. Chelsea would not choose to stay single all the time, and might get married in the future and give birth to several children to inherit the family property.
This is actually quite normal, after all, she is only in her thirties, and from the looks of it, everyone believes that she is in her twenties.
At this age, for the generally long-lived wizard class, it is actually a little girl.
But now, he saw another possibility.
"Marrying with any wizarding family will inevitably lose the interests of the family, but if Mrs. Chelsea takes a fancy to Iger and wants him to be her son-in-law..."
Sitting alone in the office, the old president fell into deep thought.
No wonder he thought so, it's really Iger, who really fits the Chelsea family's criteria for choosing a son-in-law—
With a clean background, it is impossible to engulf the Chelsea family's property in turn.
Talented, the offspring born with his wife's daughter must be very good.
Although his personality is a bit slippery, he is not lacking in goodness.
And his cheerful and alert temperament makes him very suitable to be the complementary character of Miss Eliza, who is said to be very introverted...
At the same time, UU reading www. uukanshu.com If Mrs. Chelsea has considered the future control and influence of the mixed-race class, then recruiting a mixed-race son-in-law is simply the easiest and most direct way.
"If this is the case, Iger will reach the sky in one step..."
Thinking like this, the old president's mood couldn't help but feel a little weird.
He didn't forget that before going to see the lady, he still claimed that if he waited 20 years at Iger, he might bet the power and wealth of a top wizard family.
He also said that if he missed this time, Iger would never have another chance.
Turns out, it's been less than two hours...
…
No wonder President Jacques thought so much.
During this meeting and conversation, Mrs. Chelsea did consciously misunderstand him and wanted to guide his thinking direction to this.
This is mainly because Melun, as her apprentice, has to hide her identity and hide in the Mixed-Blood Association, which is actually a very aggrieved thing.
So she wanted to use this method so that the Mixed-Blood Association could not wrong him.
At the same time, in this hidden relationship, if Mellon encounters any problems afterwards, it will be difficult for her to find a suitable reason to help.
Therefore, making President Jacques mistakenly think that she is considering making Melon his son-in-law is a remedy.
In this way, not only Mellen's admission to Fort St. Grant's problem is solved.
In the future, if she shows a special attitude towards Melun, others will not think of the real relationship between the two parties, which is an apprentice and a teacher.
As for really cultivating Mellon as a son-in-law...
The attitude of Mrs. Chelsea before was absolutely impossible.
But now, she's actually thinking about it.
