Chapter 1049 Life Needs Small Surprises

"Don't take everyone as a friend, most of them just want to take advantage of you, but that's fine because you're going to be someone of value and that's what will make you successful.

It's just... don't just treat them as friends, keep your courage and lose your clumsiness, you have to learn to be smart..."

It was a pleasant chat with Charlene, just a little advice, not a lecture.

If it is for this, he can find someone to publish a book or give speeches everywhere, and the tickets will definitely sell like crazy.

The whole world is curious about Li Zitao's success, and there are people who specialize in his history at the university, which is a course.

He just saw too many shadows in the clumsy rookie in front of him.

It's a bit like my former self, not the present, but the previous life, walking into a big city, full of curiosity and expectations for everything there.

Retaining a bit of innocence and clumsiness, in the end he was bruised all over his body, and even lost himself...

New York is not friendly to people. You can feel a lot in this city, aggressive oppression, strong offensive awareness, indifference, loneliness...

Only lack of welcome and enthusiasm.

"You have to be vigilant, understand?" Picking up the glass, Li Zitao had already forgotten how many glasses of whiskey he had drunk.

"Add some salt and olives, more." Li Zitao wanted to add some flavor to it.

"Li, you are a friendly and good person..." Shalin said with blurred eyes, she was a little too drunk.

"No no no, don't send me a goodie card, that sounds like saying; idiot, you can go away." There are enough goodie cards to fill several large boxes.

"I think...it's time for me to leave, it's too late." Charlene said with staggering steps, she didn't look like she could go home alone.

"I'll ask the driver to take you off." Li Zitao took the coat, tipped the waiter $5, and put a $20 bill on the bar. They drank a lot tonight.

"Charlie, today will be a long night." Jeremy kept winking, casting envious and jealous eyes on him.

"I like moving people, not dead bodies."

"At least she's hot."

"Go to hell, you pervert."

Giving Jeremy a friendly middle finger, Li Zitao helped Shalin leave, handed her to the bodyguard outside the bar and said, "Send her home."

Li Zitao wasn't joking, he didn't like drunk women, especially when they might throw up, just thinking about it was bad enough.

Back home, Li Zitao made apple sandwiches, pasta, and white truffles delivered in the morning in the refrigerator, which went well with the 1928 botrytized wine.

Cooking by yourself does not taste special, the taste is still the same, but the process is enjoyable.

Make a cup of tea, lie on the sofa in front of the window, and fall asleep accompanied by words.

This day sounds super boring, but he still enjoys it, if he comes once in a while...

Mary wasn't home tonight, but she wasn't going to work or fly somewhere else.

Avril Lavigne and Doris are in New York, Mary is going to the spa with them, and there's a 'slumber party,' at the hotel tonight, which sounds more boring.

"Boss, Miss Xiangzi wants to ask, do you need any service?" Dan walked in.

"No." Li Zitao shook his head, put the book on the round table, and beckoned, "Come and sit, let's chat."

"You can drink whatever you want, you know where to put it." His personal butler knew better than him about the layout of the room.

"Dan, are you married?" Li Zitao didn't seem to know the people around him very well.

He didn't know why, he suddenly wanted to know these things, but he always liked to do whatever he wanted.

"Yes, I'm married." Dan poured himself a glass of champagne, which he liked, though nothing to celebrate.

"Did I give you a gift?" Li Zitao smiled and said, "Of course, of course not. I didn't even know there was such a thing."

"Actually, there are... Madame gave me a painting,

It's beautiful and it's Mark's work. Dan said, sipping champagne.

"Mark Rothko, he is a good painter, although I can't understand what he painted at all." Hearing him say this, the two laughed.

"Actually, I don't know either. I only know that it's worth $20,000, and it will be even higher at auction." Dan waved his hand.

"That's why I like them." Li Zitao agreed, saying that the reason he likes collections lies in their value.

It may sound superficial to say this, but he is just a layman with no particularly refined taste.

"Do you want a truffle?" Li Zitao took out the truffles from the refrigerator, and they will be replaced after tonight.

"A little bit, it's too strong, and it's hard to taste anything else." This is not the first time Dan has eaten truffles, and the replaced food will appear on the staff table.

Because every time you eat it, its unique taste will reverberate in your mouth for the next day, and you will never taste other flavors.

"Someone wants to buy the Lange." Dan suddenly mentioned the Lange Bar.

"Who is it?" Li Zitao frowned. He liked the atmosphere of that bar very much and didn't want to be disturbed by others.

"Vincent, his bar is on the other side of the tunnel, and if he wants to open another one on the other side of the river, Lange is a ready choice." Dan said, sipping the truffle with a fork.

“Is there an alternative? I want a place where I can completely relax.” It’s nice to feel at home wherever you go.

Because it doesn't make him feel offended and he won't be turned away because of the color of his skin.

But life occasionally needs some surprises, and a pool of stagnant water can make people feel bored, and Li Zitao feels this way now.

Cars, airplanes, hotels, restaurants, bars, supermarkets, he has all these industries, and any needs will be met.

Lange was where he could relax, and he didn't want that feeling ruined.

Becoming a bar again requires careful reception, a 'safe house' where everyone knows his identity. '

"I'll make him think again." Dan already knew what he meant.

"That's it. Tomorrow night, I want to have dinner in Bosi Ding. There are 6 people. Remember to make a reservation." Li Zitao is going to rest, it's getting late.

"I will...thank you." Holding the glass and plate, Dan bowed and nodded in thanks.

Tomorrow, Li Zitao will meet with the guild leader again, this time he wants to slow down the pace and behave more friendly and relaxed.

In addition to them there were two members of the Mets of Chicago who had come to deliver invitations to join the Mets.

Li Zitao hoped that Mary could attend with him, but he had to make sure that she was free tomorrow, as she had a lot of socializing recently.

Because she has been busy with flying work throughout the year, communication is also compressed in the remaining 3 months, which will keep her busy feet on the ground.
