1855 United States Tycoon

"Dana Big sis." Donald shouted at Dana who was sitting on the bench in the small garden and reading quietly, and walked towards her.

Dena closed the book gently, turned her head, and at the same time stretched out her hand to stroke her long pale blonde hair that had been messed up by the cool evening breeze, and slightly wrinkled her slender eyebrows toward Donald.

"Donald, mother asked you to come to me? Why, did you stand aside with your mother?" Dena stared at Donald with slanted eyes dissatisfied.

"Big sis..." Donald dragged his voice long, and squatted down in front of Big sis. Originally, Donald was already a lot taller than Dena at this time, but when she squatted down, she was a little shorter than the sitting Dena. With the prolonged tone, she suddenly reminded Dena. Those things when they were children. She knew that this was just a little trick Donald wanted to soften her. But she still felt her own heart softened suddenly.

"Well, Donald, you are not a kid anymore. Stand up and sit here. What is your mother asking you to talk to me again?" Dena's tone eased.

"Dana, what do you want me to say, don't you know?" Donald stood up, sorted out the ironed suits, and then sat down beside Dana.

"But Big sis, mother's worry is not without reason. Do you think, when did she meet a girl who traveled thousands of miles, across the ocean, and went to the other side of the earth to read? This kind of thing, she might be afraid to hear Haven't heard of it?" Donald was very careful to explain the reason for their mother Catherine. Because he knows that own Big sis has always been out of sync with his mother. My mother always wants to train Dena Big sis into a "real lady". From a very young age, she has continuously trained Dena's various "talents and skills necessary for a lady". But on the other hand, as the Miss of McDonald’s family, Dana is unlikely to learn anything other than "the skills and abilities that a real lady should possess" like the other "ladies." Don't understand. For those "ladies", it is enough to have "natural intelligence, gentle temperament, and outstanding appearance". But this is not the case in the Macdonald family. The rule of the Macdonald family is: "Use women as men, and treat men as cattle."

As for Dena, she is even more tragic than the men in McDonald's family. Because the men in the Macdonald family need to learn things, she has to learn. What McDonald’s men don’t need to learn, she also needs to learn. Donald and Grey Stone only need to learn Chinese, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, and sports. But what about her Dena? In addition to these, she has to learn instrumental music, vocal music, ballet, and... In short, Dena feels that since she was seven years old, her family has been cultivating her as an animal.

Of course, a person should develop in an all-round way. Scrooge Uncle is the best example. He is the best businessman, the best chemist, one of the best physicists, the best... But it’s Scrooge Uncle, he doesn’t know how to play the piano, he doesn’t know how to do 360 on tiptoes. Ten-degree rotation, even if you don’t make a sound when eating crispy bones. However, Dena must know all of these.

Finally one day, Dena couldn't stand it anymore. One night when she was twelve years old, Dena used a homemade rope ladder to climb over the wall, preparing to lift her home. The result, of course, was that he was caught by guards as soon as he got out of the fence. In addition, there were some dangers. If the guards hadn't reacted quickly, Dana would have been bitten by the pit bull led by the guards. However, the facts proved that this operation was exceptionally successful. Because of this incident, my father, who had always listened to her mother's words on "small things", clearly stood up to support Dena, thinking that Catherine had given Dena too many tasks and this situation must be changed. Dena's learning content must be lightened.

Catherine also agreed to reduce the burden on Dena, but the couple had a dispute over what burden to reduce. Carol believes that lady education can be reduced, but Catherine insists that lady education not only cannot be reduced, but also needs to be strengthened. On the contrary, some physical and chemical knowledge should be roughly understood.

"These things are so good to learn, what's the use? Isn't our family Dena going to the laboratory to do research in the future? Basic knowledge is enough." Catherine said.

However, in such matters, the final ruling power is not in the hands of the couple. This matter has to be asked by Scrooge. And Scrooge's statement is actually:

"Lady education and so on, just cancel it. Anyway, our daughter, it doesn’t matter whether a lady is a lady or not. In the current situation of our family, we don’t have to consider the possibility of letting Dena go out for marriage. So let’s Why did Dena learn so much in the mess of lady education? Dena has a good talent in mathematics and science. With such a heavy learning task, her mathematics and science scores are still better than Donald and Greystone. Although Donald works very hard, he has a big brain. It’s not too agile, and sometimes I can’t control my own temper. Gladstone’s mathematics talent is not even as good as her mother’s. Fortunately, his expressive skills are good. In the future, the media can probably be handed over to him. As for Xiao Xiao John, and Mary, they are too young, and their talent in this area is not obvious. From now on, it is likely that Dena will be responsible for the responsibility of hosting the large laboratory in the future. So yeah, Just leave it alone if you are not a lady."

The notion that "a lady is not a lady is nothing great" will of course not be supported by Catherine. But after hearing that Dena might take over the big laboratory in the future, Catherine decided not to object too much. This department can be regarded as the core of the McDonald consortium to a large extent. Scrooge was willing to make the possibility of handing this department to Dena in the future. Such an arrangement even exceeded Carol and Catherine's expectations. If Scrooge was willing to hand over such an important department to Dena, he would definitely be able to treat the next generation of children fairly. But Catherine still said:

"But Dena always wants to marry."

"If we want Dena to bear such responsibilities, then she will naturally not be able to marry another family that matches ours in the future. It is impossible for us to marry such an important family member to someone else's house. Therefore, De Na Na can't get married." Scrooge smiled, "She can only marry a husband in the future."

From then on, Dena's life was much better. However, after canceling most of the "lady education", watching Dena become more and more like a female man, Catherine still felt like a drum.

Now, both Dena and Donald have completed their middle school education. (In the eyes of Dena and Donald, Scrooge Uncle is usually very amiable, but as long as it involves educational issues, it will become extremely harsh and severe. In fact, education for cultivating successors has never been It will be particularly easy, even in later generations. Many people now think that basic education in Europe and the United States is very easy, but in fact, whether it is the United Kingdom or the United States, the learning burden for those elite private schools is very heavy. Yes, it’s not much different from the key high schools in the Rabbit Country. Last year, in a middle school in the Lighthouse Country, which is famous for its high proportion of students going to the Ivy League, there were several consecutive suicides of students because of the stress of studying. .) Due to Scrooge's intervention, Dena and Donald certainly received the best education, and of course the most stressful education. So that Dana and Donald had completed their pre-university education when they were sixteen.

"Education must be a combination of classroom and social life." This is Scrooge's view, and because of Scrooge's overwhelming position in the family, his view is naturally ascending as the will of the family. So every year Scrooge arranges children to have so-called social experiences. For example, go to factories, laboratories, and companies under the control of the Macdonald Consortium to work part-time jobs for a while. In this way, they can have a more perceptual understanding of society and the operation of enterprises. This will be of great help to taking over the enterprise in the future.

Of course, for the children of McDonald’s family, the necessary safety guarantees are also indispensable. But if you let a group of bodyguards follow all the time, then this kind of social experience has no meaning. Because everyone will know that there is a problem with the origin of this temporary worker.

Therefore, hiding your identity is the best protection. In fact, the Macdonald family has seen a lot less exposure in the media over the years. Scrooge, who was the most exposed in the past, appeared a lot less, except for publishing some articles in some scientific journals from time to time, his name hardly appeared too much. And Carol, Dorothea is also much lower-key than before. As for his children, they will not appear in any media. Even the people outside, even the second generation of the MacDonald family, have no idea how many people, how many men and how many women. There are many companies under the McDonald Consortium, so it is particularly convenient to arrange their "social practice".

After the middle school courses are over, Scrooge intends to let them experience in those Macdonald companies for a year before entering the University of Cleveland. However, Dena proposed that she hoped to leave United States and go to Europe, and even went to Europe to go to university altogether.

"Scrooge Uncle, I think the University of Göttingen is pretty good now. It's no worse than the University of Cleveland. Especially in mathematics and physics, it has always been in the forefront of the world. So I want to go to Europe by myself. Walk around and finally go to the University of Göttingen to study." That was what Scrooge said at the time.

This idea was supported by Scrooge, but Catherine was very opposed. In her opinion, a girl who travels to Europe on her own, or even goes to university in Europe, this is simply... It's just that Dena, who has the support of the biggest boss, can ignore her mother's opposition. Therefore, Catherine can only use the curve method to let Donald persuade Big sis.
