Chapter 1231 Fighting to Be the Protagonist
Manhattan, New York.
"Sir, a guest is here." Li Zitao was interrupted by Dan when he was enjoying the only brief sunshine in the afternoon.
"Guests? I don't remember having an appointment today." Li Zitao would check the itinerary with his secretary three times every morning, noon, and evening. His schedule this morning should be "empty." '
"Jacqueline."
"Let her come up!" Li Zitao almost forgot that there was another 'guest' living at home. Too many rooms can always lead to forgetfulness.
"Good morning, sir." Jacqueline was always polite.
With her legs close together, her hands lightly clenched into fists and pressed on her legs, she sat obliquely on the chair beside Li Zitao. Her sitting posture seemed to be the standard after thousands of years of tempering.
This elegant sitting position is just right for her to show off her beautiful collarbone, long neck and even more beautiful side profile.
According to Li Zitao's aesthetic point of view, Jacqueline does not belong to the kind of woman who can make him feel amazing.
The skin is relatively dark, and the face is a bit big. However, her 'future' status has added a lot of points to her. If the full score is 100, it will be about 85.
But what she is doing now is obviously sending a signal to Li Zitao, and it can also be said to whet his appetite.
It's just that he doesn't think that he can easily occupy everything about this woman.
She is very smart, good at knowing how to hide her awkwardness, and how to show her perfect side in front of others. Such a woman wants to get caught and uses her proficiency.
Li Zitao said with certainty that if he showed interest in her, Jacqueline would find an excuse to withdraw and wait for his own initiative.
Turn passive into active, the choice of smart people.
"Morning, are you okay in New York?" Li Zitao cast his eyes out of the window, ignoring her hints.
A look of disappointment flashed in Jacqueline's eyes. She had stayed in New York long enough, but she didn't get what she wanted.
The 'target' that mother mentioned seemed to have no interest in her, not to mention being close to him, and even the chance to see him was pitifully rare.
This week, the first thing Jacqueline did after getting up every day was to ask the owner, Charlie, if he would stay at home today.
And she would receive a 'No' answer every time.
Only today did she get a different answer. When Jacqueline first heard it, she thought she had heard it wrong, but looking at it now, it is still not a surprise, only disappointment.
"It's not bad... I should go back in a few days, and I have to prepare for college." Jacqueline said with a forced smile.
"Hmm... By the way, what university are you going to go to?" Li Zitao asked casually.
"Washington Visa Academy."
"Nice school, I've heard...the cradle of literature in America."
"Yes, it is excellent." Jacqueline is also full of expectations for her upcoming university, knowing that the most indispensable thing in the school is the offspring of politicians.
This is conducive to expanding her network, while building her own name and influence. With her mother as her role model, Jacqueline's goal is not just to be a rich wife.
In her eyes, she should become an important role like Mrs. Veron, or the wife of the rich man in front of her.
Being active on the international stage, he is admired and admired by countless people. A small action can attract the attention of countless media and the people's discussion.
In fact, in Jacqueline's opinion, her mother's move this time was a bit miscalculated.
It is absolutely impossible for her to squeeze that princess away, take her place, stand beside this world-renowned super rich man, and enjoy the radiant glory with him.
Facing that princess, she felt fearful and inferior in her heart.
It's just that Jacqueline didn't realize that her mother's purpose was not what she imagined. On this point, Li Zitao guessed the other party's intention, and used his identity and the attention of the media to let more people know this 'unremarkable' little girl.
The two of them only need to appear in the photo at the same time, then her goal has been achieved, but it's a pity that Li Zitao didn't even give her this opportunity.
There is more than one smart person in this world.
Perhaps in other respects, Li Zitao needs the advice and suggestions of his brain trusters.
But when it comes to women, he has already been a veteran driver who has been tempered and honed, sparks and lightning all the way, and drifting without hands is just a basic exercise for him.
If the other party wants to use the contradiction of public opinion on him to increase his popularity, he should put on the appearance of begging for help.
Playing hard to get? He prefers to swing the horse and drive straight to Huanglong...
After a silent morning with Jacqueline, Li Zitao headed to New York Police Headquarters after lunch.
This afternoon, he will attend the donation meeting of the New York Police. The donation of 500,000 dollars will be remitted to the New York Police Pension Fund as a thank you and support for the police to maintain local stability.
Not only was he present at the meeting, but Eric and his girlfriend, Hill Michein, were also present.
At the donation meeting, Li Zitao met this girl who made Eric fascinated and lost his cool head.
Have to admit, Eric has a good eye and she's a gorgeous chocolate girl. Moreover, she has her own taste in fashion, and her outfits match her very well, which brings her beauty to a new level.
"Hill, this is my adoptive father, Charlie..."
"She's Hill, I told you."
With his arms around his girlfriend's waist, Eric looked like he was showing off. Maybe for him, being able to get Hill was worth showing off to the world.
"Hello, Mr. Charlie, Eric always said that you taught him too much." Hill said, looking affectionately at his boyfriend beside him.
"He's a smart boy... I've heard the name Hill hundreds of times, and my ears are getting callused." Li Zitao plucked his ears jokingly, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Nice to meet you .”
"It's my honor." Hill's smile was very friendly, and people started talking to her unconsciously, leaving a deep impression on her.
This also proves her ability from the side. Eric's previous business in Los Angeles and Chicago was well organized in her hands.
That's what he's doing now, 'fudge stores,' and when they broke up, Eric gave his girlfriend both the Los Angeles and Chicago locations.
It is precisely because of this that when his fitness business encounters a crisis, he appears so embarrassed that he has to choose to close the door and go to New York to find new opportunities.
However, as far as Li Zitao knew, after the two reconciled, those stores returned to Eric's hands. It's just that there is a new partner in the business now, and naturally it is Hill Michein who has brought stable profits and new markets to their business.
"Hey, look who's here...Charlie, Eric...We should go take pictures." James walked over with a big laugh.
"Of course, we are ready." Li Zitao said and looked at Eric.
"Yes... Hill, come together!" Eric nodded to him, and then looked at his girlfriend beside him.
"No... I don't think it's appropriate." Hill was obviously moved, but he showed embarrassment and hesitation.
"No problem, come on, get a license plate with me." Eric said, raised his arm, asked her to hold his own, and walked towards the podium with satisfaction.
Behind him is a printed poster, in the middle is a check for $500,000, and on the left and right are the cartoon images of Li Zitao and Eric.
The caption read 'Support NYPD, Retirement Pension Fund'.
During the filming process, Hill kept changing positions, snuggled up to Eric's side, enjoying the moment of being the protagonist and attracting much attention.
