Chapter 1511: Embracing the New World
"Gentlemen, our vacation is coming to an end." In Bermuda, Li Zitao had to announce the news with regret, and ordered the fleet to turn around and return.
On the afternoon of 4 days later, the Angel arrived in New York Harbor smoothly.
Unfortunately, the Angel encountered a storm on the way back, which delayed a lot of time.
"Go to the airport." After arriving in New York, Li Zitao transferred to the plane non-stop and rushed to Chicago, only to meet his wife and Pearl in a hurry.
"I'll be back soon." Li Zitao said, kissing his wife's forehead.
Mary understood this very well, and little Pearl was not very happy.
Dad took his brother out to play and left himself in New York. After finally waiting for them to come back, he left in a hurry.
"Bad guy." Little Pearl said angrily.
Holding his reluctant daughter comfortingly, Li Zitao said with a smile; "My little princess, how about we go on a family trip after work?"
"Diving?" Pearl was fascinated by the magical underwater world.
"Maybe we should go skiing." Rubbing her head with his hand, Li Zitao boarded the plane with a wave of his hand.
Chicago, Blue and White Building.
The building, which used to be crowded with people, now looks a little deserted.
There are two police cars parked around the building, and several patrol officers are leaning against the car, drinking coffee and chatting to pass the time.
"Someone is coming." Seeing someone coming, a patrolman put coffee on the roof and walked over, "Sir, can I help you?"
Li Zitao stopped, took off his bowler hat and looked at him with a smile.
"Mr. Li." The patrolman recognized his identity at a glance, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't recognize you in time."
"You're welcome, I'm just here to take a look, do you have any other questions?" Li Zitao didn't make things difficult for him.
In the final analysis, the patrolman in front of him was just following orders with his salary.
Sprinkle Qi on him, nothing will change.
The patrolman took off his hat and said, "No,
Sir, welcome back to Chicago. "
As the city where Li Shi started, the headquarters of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce and SHIELD, the Chicago Police Department has always been Li Shi's investment target.
The various materials, police officers, benefits and subsidies donated to the police station every year have caused the Chicago Police Department to be criticized, but it has also become one of the envy of the police system.
High salary and treatment, and various guarantees and subsidies.
Aegis will also provide them with the necessary help when needed, and occasionally rest in the police station, someone will bring the criminal to the door with credit.
Where else can such a good thing be found besides Chicago.
Therefore, the Chicago Police Department is full of respect and gratitude to Li Shi. When McCarthy needs it, they choose to do nothing to perfuse it.
It's just that this time the situation is different, the police order comes directly from the director.
The order he received came from the governor. In terms of the national conditions of the United States, it was more direct and effective than the orders from Washington and Congress.
This time, White Davis once again competed successfully for the governorship.
But he was no longer a close friend, nor an enemy.
Just like Adams and Jefferson belonged to the Republican Party, the contest and cooperation between the two have never been interrupted.
In the Blue and White Building, the first thing Li Zitao saw was White Davis.
"Are you okay? My old friend." White, who is over fifty years old, looks very energetic.
Li Zitao hugged him with a smile and said, "If there is less trouble, I think it will be better."
"Can I please go up and sit down?" White pointed to the upstairs, he didn't want to talk to Li Zitao about what was happening here.
"certainly."
Taking the elevator to his office on the top floor, White sat down relaxed after the secretary closed the door.
"Charlie, I'm sorry to cause you confusion." White said sincerely; "but you have to understand that I also have a boss on my top, and everyone has a boss."
What White said was very helpless. He and Mrs. Li got along very well these years.
The other party has helped him a lot both in his career and in life.
Both of his children were also students at Western Higher College on full honors scholarships.
This bonus has solved many problems in his life for him, and also allowed him to make financial investments in his spare time to make a profit.
Given the choice, White hopes to remain friends with him forever.
After all, no one is pushing the benefits of home delivery, especially if it doesn't cause trouble.
In the ten years before that, Li Zitao never took the initiative to bother him, except for occasionally taking care of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce in business.
On the contrary, he often needs the help of the other party, which makes White feel guilty.
"Are we still friends?" Li Zitao pointed at the two of them, looked at him seriously and asked, "Really?"
"Of course, Charlie, we're friends at any time." White said affirmatively.
Li Zitao nodded his head as if understanding and said, "In that case, White, it's time for you to make a choice."
"As a friend, you should always put yourself in the other person's shoes." Li Zitao said with a sneer; "Being double-faced will never end well."
"In any competition, participating players can only choose one team." Li Zitao looked at him persuasively and asked; "What about your choice, which team do you want to choose?"
What apologies, embarrassment!
What he wanted to hear was not this, but which side the other party would choose to stand on.
Understanding many things does not mean accepting them.
Li Zitao could understand his embarrassment, but he did not accept his choice.
Or, stand on your side.
Or, roll to the opposite side.
"This." White was a little uncomfortable, and his attitude had changed too much.
Li Zitao didn't hurry to urge him, first poured himself a glass of wine, and then filled it with ice cubes.
He took out another cigar and trimmed the mouthpiece carefully, as if he was making a handicraft seriously.
Seeing White's reluctance to struggle, Li Zitao felt it was time to give him a push.
In this world, most people lack absolute self-determination ability, and they need others to help them either directly or sideways.
"Here is one." Handing him the trimmed cigar, Li Zitao smiled and lit the fragrant leaves and handed it to his mouth.
"The alternation of old and new dynasties is often due to internal decay." Li Zitao threw away the incense sticks, looked at him and continued to say: "The enemy of the castle often comes from within, White, it has existed for too long, and it is rotten."
"Even sitting here, I can smell the sickening smell from Jefferson's estate."
"Whenever this happens, those who stand on the wrong team will often lose everything, and those who make the right choice will soon embrace a brand new world."
Li Zitao came to him, put his hands on his shoulders, leaned over and said dreamily: "Look, the new world is right in front of you, White, have you seen it?"
