Chapter 1581: Palms and Backs of Hands

If you want to succeed, you must learn to evolve and adapt to this era.

Because there are very few people who can really change the times, most people can only choose to obey the times.

"I need shares, more shares!" Ariel posed another problem for him.

Li Zitao originally planned to take it slowly, but he just didn't expect Ariel to be so anxious and straightforward.

Seeing his silence, Ariel said again: "I need rights and prestige, let them respect and awe, not just a puppet."

"You are not a puppet." Li Zitao didn't know where she came from.

But she is not a puppet, no one is going to manipulate her, let alone restrict her freedom or her thoughts about Vegas or any plans she wants to implement.

Ariel raised her eyebrows and said, "Everyone, they will think so."

"You really think so?" Hearing what she said, Li Zitao felt that there was some truth.

"If you really want to give it to me, I think you should give me more support!" Ariel said with certainty.

In any case, I believe that people will not choose to believe that a 14-year-old girl can make the right choice.

But he had to refuse, and murmured, "I think I need some time."

"It's best before I'm pushed to the guillotine." Ariel pouted, then turned and walked to her room.

Shaking his head speechlessly, Li Zitao should consider how to settle this matter.

Li Zitao has 45% of the shares under his personal name, Ariel inherited 10% of Xu Man,

Paul has 5 percent, so that's the original 60 percent.

Although the shares are placed in his own name, he has personally admitted that these shares will become family assets.

As Ariel said, if he really wanted to give her all these things, he should give her more support.

"Boss, do we need to rush back to New York?" Ava would say this because he will have an important trip next.

report!

It's time for Aiden to report to Duke College. Li Zitao and Mary have discussed that their family will take him to school together by train.

If he delays any longer, he will lose his word.

In addition, there is one more thing waiting for him to do, the New York Police Department's award ceremony.

The police officer who saved the life of the exchange student will receive a commendation and a $10,000 bonus.

And the guest who presented the award to him was Li Zitao himself.

NYPD.

The senior police officers who could be present sat together and waited for the start of the awards ceremony.

When Li Zitao walked into the venue, the people present turned their heads frequently and gave warm applause.

As the biggest god of wealth in the New York Police Department, he has always been welcomed and respected by the police.

Besides, he is a good citizen who obeys the law.

He didn't need the police to solve any troubles for him, he didn't need privileges, he didn't need any special care.

Because no matter what the problem was, he could settle it himself, and he didn't need the police to intervene at all.

And his children are as mysterious and low-key as he himself.

Who doesn't like a friend who gives generously and never gets himself into trouble, if any, he should see a neurologist immediately.

"Thank you, how are you?"

"Hey buddy, see you again."

"Oh man, how was the cigar last time, I've got some good ones here again!"

Li Zitao greeted the people around him. As for why he omitted the address, it was because he didn't remember it at all.

"Charlie." The silent and tough James Franks strode forward, grabbed his hand with a broad palm and shook it vigorously, "Thank you for coming."

"How could I be absent from such a grand event!" Li Zitao smiled and said, "It's my honor."

"If you're not in a hurry, we can have a drink after the end!" James wanted to talk to him about something.

For example, the state government is cutting their budget again, the feedback of the new police equipment, the temptation of price and Aegis...

James hopes that SHIELD can vacate part of the quota,

To absorb the retirees of the police, let them do some civilian work.

It's just that these things are not so easy to talk about, but for the sake of his brothers, he still decided to find a chance to talk to Li Zitao.

"I don't think today is a good time. I want to send my son to college tonight." Li Zitao deliberately omitted details.

"This is really a good thing." James congratulated him, and then asked: "Then when are you free?"

"I'll have someone contact you when I get back, how about it?"

"Okay, see you then."

With a promise, James went to prepare for the upcoming speech.

They are all people who believe in promises, so when Li Zitao said that he would contact him again, James believed what he said and did not make any entanglements.

"Dear colleagues, brothers who are struggling on the front line..." James' speech was short and shocking.

Li Zitao was drowsy in the background. He admired the work of the police, but it didn't mean he wanted to empathize with it.

Fortunately, the award ceremony did not make him wait too long, and Li Zitao also met the heroes who performed bravely that day.

"Thank you for your heroic performance, protecting the fair and kind people in New York." Li Zitao handed over a check for $10,000 to the other party.

And patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, his eyes full of appreciation.

This performance is for all to see, and he wants other officers to understand that if they make the right choice, they can be rewarded.

"Charlie, are you leaving now?" After the awards ceremony, Li Zitao was about to leave, but was stopped by James: "I want to invite you to a dinner later."

"I need to go home and prepare." Li Zitao looked at his watch, then took out a check and wrote a series of numbers; "Add some drinks for the dinner, please."

"Don't look outside, this is my heart." Seeing the other party's silence, Li Zitao said with a smile: "We are the most loyal friends of the other party, I always think so."

Hearing what he said, James no longer felt that the check in his hand was a luxury, and squeezed out a smile; "Me too, thank you for your generosity."

"Boss, you look tired." In the car, Ava looked at him worriedly.

It's been a long time since she saw the BOSS so tired. She knew why, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

"I need to rest for a while, wake me up when it's time." Li Zitao closed his eyes, planning to take a nap.

He's been really exhausted lately, physically and mentally exhausted.

Not only about Xu Man, Ariel, and Vegas, but also some changes around him.

In order to ensure Ariel's safety and give her something to rely on, Li Zitao left his most trusted security director, Danny, in Vegas.

"You can trust him as much as you trust me, trust me, he will handle all the problems, no matter what it is." This was his last entrustment to Ariel before he left.
