Chapter 1353: Green Light

There is nothing to discuss at the celebrity ball. Aiden and Lilith attended together, representing Lee, but they were both bright and dark.

For Lilith, Li Shi will not have any speeches, but will put all the attention on Aiden.

At the same time, the media will do the same, but what the European media will do is their problem and has nothing to do with Li.

Outside speculation is irrelevant, Li Zitao and Mary hope to take this opportunity to get Lilith out of the title of "illegitimate daughter". Even if those people would still chatter and discuss in private, at least on the bright side, Lilith doesn't have to worry about it and be hindered by it.

But it is limited to this at this time, Lilith is a special case.

Marie recognized her when she was little and raised her by her side for a period of time, which made their relationship very different. This is the maximum compromise she can accept, and there will be no second exception.

The entire upper class society in the United States is paying attention, and the long-awaited 22nd annual meeting kicked off on December 15th.

When the two crimson doors were opened in front of the American-style minimalist building at No. 22, 10th Street, Central Avenue, in the West Midtown of Manhattan, the bright red carpet threw a beautiful arc from the door and was laid directly Go down the curb.

The receptionists in bright red vests came out in two rows and stood on both sides of the red carpet. The green Jaguar coming from the intersection also stopped in front of the red carpet against the curb.

The members began to enter the arena, low-key and silent, but the reporters around the two sides, blocked by the receptionists, kept calling out familiar names. Business tycoons, evergreens in politics, dazzling new stars, educators, artists, philosophers, scientists, poets, including some of Li's senior partners.

As the host, Li Zitao had already been waiting in the club ahead of time, and Mary was not by his side today.

The meeting in Washington is not over yet. When there is no real interest, it will be a tedious and lengthy process for any decree to reach a compromise and result.

"Jonathan, this way..." After Joanson and Lawrence arrived, they were also captured by Li Zitao and acted as half masters to welcome the visiting members.

"Hey, brother, are you acting as a doorman today?" Rockefeller's new parent, David, will also be there soon.

Seeing Lawrence standing in front of the door, he punched him in the chest jokingly.

The relationship between them has become more harmonious and intimate since there is no conflict of interest.

Compared with other brothers, Lawrence has his own career and hobbies, and rarely goes home after his father's death, let alone conflicts with him because of interests.

On the contrary, the cooperation between them has become closer.

Inheriting the New York Stock Exchange from his grandfather, he also inherited a huge network of relationships and great influence.

David needed this influence, and Lawrence's acumen in the investment field made him a lot of money following him.

This is also an important factor for the improvement of the relationship between them. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the word of interest.

Not only did Lawrence not ask for money from the family, but he created additional profit channels for the family. This is the real brother.

"Your outfit today is very suitable for being a doorman, come on!" Lawrence grabbed David's hand and pulled him directly to his side.

"Hey, this is a haute couture suit." David smacked his hand off the hell, and quickly smoothed the wrinkles on the sleeves, showing a 'scrooge' performance.

"Brother, you should be more generous and act like a parent." Lawrence said jokingly.

"That's right, just like your nouveau riche brother." As soon as Jonathan's hand left the whip's hand, he couldn't wait to join the mocking group.

"Sir, everyone is here." The overall person in charge of the banquet was Farandi, his number one butler, and the organizing committee followed his orders during this period.

"Well, we should go too, boys." Li Zitao hooked Jonathan's shoulder with his left hand and Lawrence with his right hand, and put his palm on David's shoulder, leading them into the hall.

In the venue outside, Li Zitao only stayed for a short time, about 45 minutes.

Afterwards, their seats were moved to a more private banquet hall on the top floor with fewer people, and all the people present were permanent honorary members.

Any one of them, going out, is a big figure that the media is vying for, such as the chairman of the Federal Reserve, the federal treasury secretary, the chief think tank of the president and the president himself.

Of course, women and alcohol are also indispensable at the scene.

The bunny girls walked through the crowd with trays in their hands, screaming in surprise or joy from time to time, and coquettishly slapping away the hands that appeared out of nowhere behind them.

"Why is our Mr. President not accompanied?" Seeing that the seat next to the President was empty, Li Zitao frowned and called Dan to his side.

"I'll arrange it immediately." Dan nodded knowingly, and walked towards the side hall of the ballroom.

Groups of girls in dresses walked out of the side hall under the leadership of Dan, making the atmosphere even more intense.

And the ones who played the most at the scene were the artists, poets and philosophers. The configurations of two men and one woman or two women and one man abounded. Art and philosophy come from life, right?

"They make me sick. Artists... Only dead artists have value. They are just a bunch of neurotic, unruly, cynical moths." Jonathan's comments on artists are a bit paranoid.

"Why, did an artist seduce your wife?" Jonathan said casually, but Lawrence's face changed a little.

"God, don't tell me it's true." Seeing his performance, several people present all pricked up their ears.

"How did you teach him a lesson? If I need help, I can make him disappear completely." David said imposingly, with an expression of "I'm a big boss", smoking a cigar.

"Come on, if you want, anyone here can do it, but it will only cause trouble." Lawrence grabbed his cigar and put it to his mouth.

"I have called out to the family's art gallery and the institutions that support artists. He will wander around the streets, and his works will become garbage that no one cares about..."

"Are you sure?" Li Zitao looked at him puzzled.

"Of course." Lawrence said affirmatively, as if dissatisfied with his question.

"No, I mean... Avril, I don't think she would do this, what's the reason?" Li Zitao was indeed skeptical, Avril was not like someone who would do such a thing.

"I don't know, maybe it's for revenge on me... Wet'an." When mentioning his illegitimate child, Lawrence was full of distress.

This incident had troubled him enough, and it still haunted him, that it was almost wearing a green peaked green hat.

"I think she's just trying to scare you, and any of you know that if something like this happens, it's going to end this marriage."

David patted him on the shoulder comfortingly and said, but he was actually a little worried.

The combination of the Rockefeller and Mellon families is one of the greatest marriages of the 20th century.

If something goes wrong, it will not only hurt their relationship, but also the relationship between the two families and many important cooperations.

"You've got to fix him, Lawrence, or you're going to be in big trouble." Jonathan said the truth, though it sounded harsh. "You should learn to use insurance... just like every family knows, the most important thing is to pay taxes, and the rest is insurance."

Li Zitao couldn't comfort him, the thing had already happened, no matter how regretful and angry he was, it would be useless, he had better think about how to save it.
