I am a literary giant in Japan

Chapter 525 The girl next door is growing up

After joining Yale University's Skull and Bones Society, Olivia's career in the United States flourished.

In another year, at the age of 21, she will be able to take over Skull and Bones as a junior in college, replacing Donald Trump Jr., who is about to complete his exchange program, as the new president.

In recent years, Yale University's infamous secret society, Skull and Bones, has been facing an awkward period of transition.

As graduates from the classes of '92 to '96 left Yale, a suitable leader could not be found among the new batch of members joining Skull and Bones.

In addition, the quality of new members joining in recent years has declined significantly, with some young elites from the southern United States even refusing to join and directly challenging the authority of this ancient organization.

The current acting president is Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of Trump and his first wife Ivana.

He actually attended the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, majoring in finance and real estate, the two degrees his father favored most.

At the beginning of last year, with Trump's instruction and support, he came to Yale University for an exchange program and became an exchange student in the Department of Literature and History.

In comparison, a group of former Skull and Bones leaders ultimately decided to have Donald Trump Jr. temporarily serve as president until he returned to Wharton Business School in the new millennium, at which point he would hand over the reins to Olivia, who had risen to prominence later.

In fact, neither Olivia nor Donald Jr. were the Skull and Bones successors that these North American elite families most wanted.

The former comes from the French Chanel family, does not even have American citizenship, and is not the eldest daughter in the family, so she is basically out of the running for the Chanel Group.

The latter's elite family background does meet the needs of the "old skeletons," but the problem is that his father is a businessman with a bad reputation, low status, and extremely poor political literacy, who is good for nothing except money.

Unfortunately, they were already the tallest among the short, and they had no other choice.

Olivia, who was chosen early on, did not initially show any ambition. Throughout her sophomore year, she did the same thing as usual, eating and drinking as usual, and spending her free time shopping and spending money with her best friend Victoria.

Until the Arnault scandal broke out, the Nobel Prize committee found itself unable to cover up the mess, and the Swedish Academy was forced to the brink of collapse, dismissing Arnault's wife and announcing the suspension of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Literature.

This event completely changed the literary landscape of Sweden and Norway, and also sent shockwaves through the Western literary world.

After the Arnault club collapsed, a large number of Western dignitaries were killed in the open, becoming the subject of laughter and gossip in high society.

As the group meticulously pieced together the clues, they were astonished to discover that the Arnault incident was most likely a revenge plot orchestrated by two young girls against the Arnault couple!
The most terrifying part of the whole thing is that Olivia, as the instigator, didn't try to cover up her "criminal traces" at all. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could easily spot her and Victoria's many unusual behaviors.

She never intended to hide it!
Olivia's confidence stems from the fact that this matter is built upon the reputation of the Swedish royal family and Queen Victoria.

Everyone knows that you all conspired to ruin Arnault, who was blinded by lust, but no one dares to stand up and say that the Crown Princess of Sweden used her "innocence" to slander a literary giant.

Speaking such a blunt truth would offend both the Swedish and Norwegian literary circles, as well as the entire Swedish royal family.

What's the point of speaking up for them now that the Arnaults have fallen from power?
This masterful scheme instantly brought the seemingly innocent and harmless Olivia into the spotlight of many Western elites, and subsequently, a series of her brilliant maneuvers were exposed.

To help Kitagawa Shu get revenge, she sold off her luxury brand, cashing out hundreds of millions of dollars to fiercely compete with the Arnault club.

After being grounded by her family, she inexplicably followed Victoria to Yale University, where she began her extraordinary and remarkable life.

It would be terrible if Olivia had already planned to use Victoria to plot against the Arnauds when she was first confined to her home.

Olivia and Victoria certainly wouldn't admit it verbally, but the more people investigated, the more the answer seemed to point in that direction.

Olivia's luxury brands are selling very well, and she also controls three top French print media outlets and a sizable publishing house.

All four companies are deeply intertwined with Kitagawa Entertainment, and that publishing house is currently the only publishing company in France that can independently publish Kitagawa Shu's novels without authorization from Kitagawa Entertainment and Kawade Shobo!
At just 20 years old, Olivia is already worth a staggering $30 billion, and with a little more effort, she could potentially break into the Forbes list of the world's richest women!

At this point, without exception, all the old and new elites of the Skull and Bones Society supported Olivia as the next president.

Even though she is a seemingly innocent and naive French little girl, which is very different from the overall tone of the Skull and Bones Society.

As Olivia, arm in arm with Victoria, skipped towards the large lecture hall, she was unaware that many eyes were on her.

She is very anxious, extremely anxious, and wants to see her beloved Kitagawa brother right away!
A few days ago, when they talked on the phone, they agreed to meet outside the large lecture hall at 12 noon today, but now it's past 12:30 and she has searched all around but can't find Kitagawa Xiu!
Olivia even put on a beautiful makeup for this, hoping that Kitagawa Hide, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, would realize that she, who was only as tall as his shoulder back then, had grown into a graceful young woman!

Unexpectedly, this annoying guy stood her up!
"I'm so angry, so angry, so incredibly angry! I'm going to throw a few difficult questions at him in a minute!" Olivia pouted angrily, while Victoria smirked to herself.

I wonder if it's because she's been spending too much time with Olivia, but Victoria seems to be becoming more lively and playful.

In the past, if she had heard that her best friend was going to make things difficult for Professor Kitagawa in such a formal setting, she would have immediately advised her friend to avoid causing any real trouble for Professor Kitagawa.

But now, Victoria was actually a little excited, hoping that something would really happen at this grand public literature appreciation class, so that her long-calm life would be stirred up and no longer so boring.

The two women, chatting and laughing, were both stunningly beautiful, which instantly attracted the attention of three young white men.

Leading the group was Donald Trump Jr., who was about to leave Skull and Bones.

Beside him were two white men in their early twenties, one tall and one fat. The tall, thin one kept staring at Olivia, which soon aroused Olivia's displeasure.

"Hi, Miss Olivia, Crown Princess Victoria, it's a pleasure to meet you here."

Donald Jr. smiled and walked over to the two women, exchanging cheek kisses and hand kisses with them in turn. He then immediately turned to introduce his two friends.

"This is Stilson Wiggins, whose father is Barry Wiggins, the Ohio Democratic congressman who spent $75 billion to buy The Washington Post and is one of the strong contenders for the future US president;

This is Pete Dummon. His father is the leader of the Democratic Socialist Party of Norway and is basically confirmed as the next president of Norway. That's amazing! Pete Dummon was the tall, thin white man with the restless eyes, while Stilson was a short, chubby white man who looked honest and didn't dare to make eye contact with Olivia and Stilson the whole time.

At this time, Donald Jr. was not as well-off as them in terms of status and background, so he was quite attentive to the two of them.

The reason Pete came to see Olivia and the others was because Pete seemed to have taken a liking to Olivia and wanted to strike up a conversation with her, but he didn't have a good reason, so Donald Jr. did him a favor.

Both are "sons of presidents-to-be," especially Petter, whose father is about to run for the next Norwegian president and has a very high chance of winning. If he does win, he will be the undisputed first prince of Norway, the top second-generation heir!

Therefore, compared to Donald Jr. and Stilson, he was more aggressive and threatening. Before Donald Jr. could even introduce the two ladies, he rushed forward and tried to take Olivia's hand and kiss it.

Olivia has no interest in being the "son of a future president." When she makes friends, she only considers whether the other person is worthwhile and never looks at their background.

Pete's arrogant and domineering attitude disgusted her. Before Pete could even reach out, she jumped back, causing him to miss.

Olivier's rejection of Pete's kiss was tantamount to a resounding slap in the face, and Pete's face immediately darkened.

Knowing Pitt's personality well, Donald Jr. quickly stepped in to smooth things over, and Victoria, who was standing nearby, also immediately explained on behalf of her best friend.

Victoria didn't think much of it and simply explained why Olivia was in a bad mood, which also conveniently explained why she had given Pete a cold shoulder.

Hearing that Olivia was sulking about Kitagawa Hide, Pete's expression softened slightly, and he said nonchalantly, "Kitagawa Hide is just a writer from a small Eastern country. If he hadn't been a two-time Nobel Prize nominee, probably nobody would know him."

"Olivia, it's not worth it for you to be sad over someone like that."

"Japan is a small country, so is Norway a big country?" Olivia felt a little disgusted by his words and immediately retorted.

These words left Pete speechless.

While Norway and Sweden may not be as strong as Japan in terms of economy, technology, and military, they have abundant resources, a small population, and overall development levels that rank among the top in the world, making them relatively good destinations for immigrants.

However, these two countries have another very awkward situation: their political circles have been completely infiltrated by the families of Western powers. Many high-ranking officials have close ties with Western powers, and it is hard to say whether they are aligned with their own country or certain major powers.

Olivia's implication was, "Don't be so arrogant. Norway and Japan are just America's lackeys. It's just a case of the pot calling the kettle black!"

Her words stung Pete again, leaving him speechless.

The atmosphere that Victoria had just managed to salvage immediately became awkward again, and even the timid, chubby Stilson standing next to her could sense the tension between the two.

Pete knew he had flattered someone who had backfired, and his face grew increasingly grim. He was about to utter some irreversible harsh words when a magnetic voice rang out from behind him, abruptly interrupting his unspoken words.

“Olivia, Victoria, so you’ve been here.”

Surrounded by a group of white people, Kitagawa Hide pushed through the crowd, waving at them as he ran over as if he had seen a savior.

Following closely behind Kitagawa Hide were several reporters carrying cameras and recorders. They seemed to be sticking to Kitagawa Hide like glue, running alongside him while constantly bombarding him with questions.

After a good night's rest, Kitagawa Hide arrived at the Swedish Academy early this morning, feeling refreshed. He first discussed the details of the open literature appreciation course with Knut and others, and then visited Göran Malmqvist's publishing group with him, meeting with Gao Xingjian, whom Malmqvist highly regards.

Gao Xingjian was a popular writer forcibly promoted by the world literary scene around the turn of the millennium, whose talent was not worthy of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Now that Kitagawa Hideaki is involved, he naturally has no chance of winning an award.

Of course, he never thought about winning the Nobel Prize in Literature; he just wanted to make some money with Göran Malmqvist in major literary markets like France.

After lunch, Knut and Göran Malmqvist reminded Kitagawa Hide to be wary of the news reporters who would come to scout the location early in the afternoon. Kitagawa Hide didn't take it seriously, thinking that reporters from the British BBS and the American ABC wouldn't be chasing him like paparazzi.

Then he realized he was still too young.

Even the world's top media companies, when faced with highly controversial news subjects, will act like damn paparazzi, constantly asking questions and taking photos, as if they want to strip the person down to their underwear.

Kitagawa Hide has been harassed since 11:30 a.m., and in the past hour or so, the number of reporters has not decreased but increased.

This is why Kitagawa Hide stood Olivia up.

There's no way around it, these annoying reporters are just too much trouble.

Upon seeing the two, Kitagawa Hide felt as if he had seen a savior and ran over as fast as he could, afraid that they would escape.

Reporters from BBS and ABC were still following closely, but when they realized that Kitagawa Hide was running towards a group of top second-generation political and business figures, they immediately slowed down.

No matter what, this is someone else's territory.

Victoria is the Crown Princess who was recently assaulted by Arnault and is said to be in a very unstable emotional state. If they anger him, who will take the blame?

As for Olivia, after the Arnault incident, she was jokingly called "the little devil of Skull and Bones" by many people, and became completely immune to news, with no one daring to get too close.

The other three young white men were even more formidable; none of them were to be trifled with.

Finally, thanks to Olivia and the others, they managed to shake off the swarm of tagalongs. Kitagawa Hide let out a long sigh of relief and looked at the little girl he hadn't seen in a long time, only to find her with a dark face, a cold snort, and she actually turned her head away!
