Chapter 1057 We Are One Family
"Want to go eat something together?" After taking a shower and changing clothes, Aiden invited Corey.
"Uh...Okay!" Corey also wanted to better integrate into the school, and now it seems that the twins are the only ones who don't reject him.
"Hey, where are you going?" Riley asked, who was waiting at the door of the locker room.
"Why are you here?" Mason asked curiously.
"I came to see your game. I forgot to say that I joined the cheerleading team." Riley clapped her hands and said, "Okay, let's go!"
In the restaurant, several people chatted casually about school life, hobbies, usual part-time jobs and family.
"My parents are always very busy. They spend almost two-thirds of the time in the sky every year. Work, dances, charity events, golf, and women..."
Speaking of which, Mason glanced at Aiden. He didn't want to make his brother feel uncomfortable, but he really wanted to talk about these issues.
"I'm fine." Aiden said with a smile, although somewhat reluctantly.
"This sounds cool, I haven't built an airplane, not once." Corey eased the atmosphere with his embarrassing experience.
"Me too." Riley took a sip of coffee and said confidently with a smile.
"Believe me, it's not cool at all...Our childhood was spent in etiquette, art classes, and mother's office rugs."
Aiden doesn't think it's cool at all, especially when they need company and can only face a big empty house.
"It just occurred to me that if your parents are so busy, maybe we can have a party at your house... okay?" Riley looked at them expectantly.
"We can call on the whole team, and the cheerleaders, and it makes everyone more rapport."
"That sounds good." Corey was also interested.
"It's not bad, we will consider it." The twins looked at each other, and they both saw the heartbeat from the other's eyes.
"How will we spend Christmas this year?" In the sun room, Mary was doing yoga and wanted to discuss Christmas details with her husband.
"Do you have any plans?" Li Zitao didn't have any special arrangements, his Christmas was to stay with his family.
"Invited Mom to come with the others, what do you think?" Mary had some intentions, her mother had been away long enough, and she wanted them to come home.
Luxembourg was liberated, but there were too many issues to deal with, and there wasn't any festive spirit to be felt there.
"Who is there, but mother?" Li Zitao wanted to know the exact number.
After all, some people are awkward for him to meet, some things are complicated by the madness of youth, sister-in-law Elizabeth... sister-in-law little Mary...
They all seem to be the problem...
"Everyone, my brothers and sisters, maybe a few cousins, my family has lost too many people in this war, everyone should find a time to get together..."
Mary plans to invite everyone to the house, as she said, the royal family is a big family, and this war has cost them a lot.
Now, she wants to invite all her family to America and have a perfect Christmas where you don't have to worry about anything, just keep having fun.
"Just do it, I like lively festivals." Li Zitao would never reject his wife in terms of family and affection, and in fact he couldn't do it either.
After they got married, Mary made a lot of compromises for him, including family gatherings and some royal banquets that Li Zitao didn't like, she could be rejected as much as possible, and she was the only one who could not be rejected.
So, now how can he say 'No. '
"I'll let someone prepare an invitation card, I love you." After kissing her husband on the face, Mary ran out of the house excitedly, and called, "Farlande, come here."
Hearing his wife's excited voice shift, Li Zitao is happy to share her joy, but he needs to go to work now.
Apparently, Rich Country Morgan's plan was a bit of a mistake, and the time for the Allied forces to dismember the financial monster serving as the NC fuel engine was brought forward.
What did they think? Li Zitao couldn't understand, maybe he was worried that the cake was not cut enough, so it was dismembered in detail.
Together with its most important Frankfurt, it is cruelly divided into twelve parts.
It is so detailed that each business is a part, such as deposit-taking, loan business, corporate finance business, syndicated loan business...
Securities trading, foreign exchange trading, and even derivative financial products are all separated out as desserts after meals or as additions to transactions.
Wells Fargo Morgan is very interested in this addition. The survey report on the derivative financial economy given by the Economic Research and Analysis Office makes people full of expectations for its potential.
"How much can we get?" Li Zitao tapped the table with his fingers, and this habit appeared more and more frequently.
"The good news is that we got a lot, including most of the main business, the part of the merchant bank, and its branches in Paris, Luxembourg, Amsterdam."
"Let me guess. The bad news is that Switzerland is gone, and there are other regions, right?" Seeing the helplessness on Juliana's face, Li Zitao knew he was right.
"Who took Switzerland?" When Li Zitao said this, a name flashed in his mind: "Wait, Barclay, don't tell me it's true."
"You guessed it right again." Juliana gave him a helpless look.
"F-K." In front of all the directors and representatives, Li Zitao shook his fist fiercely. He is in a very bad mood now.
"Charlie, don't be like this, we are friends and family." McCormick said with a smile, trying to ease the atmosphere.
"Really? Will the First National Bank of Chicago become L-BhG tonight?" Li Zitao asked her with his head tilted.
"I don't think so." McCormick looked a little embarrassed.
"Then put away your... Oh, we are family expression, OK?" This is already the second time.
It seemed to him that the Bank of Chicago was violating the rules, stealing cheese from everyone else's plate, and stealing cheese from his own small plate, once, again, and again...

The heavy soundproof door of the conference room opened a small gap, and the young girl with eyes peeped in, and found that everyone was looking at her and said quickly: "I'm sorry, gentlemen, Ms. Julie, the New York Police Commissioner is calling... "
"Get out." Juliana's face was terribly black, which was really embarrassing.
"But..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly exclaimed and disappeared through the crack of the door, and the door was closed again with a "sorry".
This unexpected and ridiculous episode calmed down the atmosphere in the conference room, and most of the anger in Li Zitao's heart disappeared. He shouldn't let his personal emotions affect his judgment.
"Okay, let's talk about the next topic, the further adjustment of the group." Li Zitao's benevolent look looked like a weasel's smile to them.
Outside the meeting room, Juliana's first secretary, Mickey, was furious, and she began to wonder if the HR department had any opinion on her.
"You can't just interrupt the board, understand?"
"But the call was from the Commissioner of the New York Police, and it sounded urgent."
"Oh shit, kill me!" Looking at those silly eyes, Miqi solemnly warned: "Do you know where you are standing?"
"Fuguo Morgan?" Her serious look made Penny doubt her memory.
"L-BhG, it's L-BhG." Mi Qi raised her hand and said excitedly: "This is one of the largest financial institutions in the world, holding tens of billions of dollars in funds,
And the big figures in it can bankrupt one big company, or two or countless companies, just by using their pens. "
"Every year L-BhG only pays one-tenth of the country's tax revenue. Of course, don't be proud of it. In fact, the tax department is trying to reduce the ratio.
Mark what I'm saying now, if something goes wrong with this building, the Great Depression will spread all over the world again, maybe worse than that,
And every decision made by the big shots will change the fate of dozens or hundreds of companies.
So, if New York hadn't fallen, or the Federal Reserve had gone bankrupt, you'd have to wait for the president to call during the shareholder meeting, you understand? "
