Chapter Forty-Seven
"BOSS, BOSS, they seem to be looking at us?" Jessie held the Veron oyster that was airlifted from country F in one hand, and pinched a small lemon with the other, letting the lemon juice drip on the oyster meat, and sucked it with a 'sucking' sound. into the mouth.
That pair of gluttonous eating appearances is in sharp contrast to the noble equipment on her body, which is full of visual impact, commonly known as: spicy eyes.
Look at Li Zitao next to him, holding a Belon in each hand, inserting his index finger into the oyster meat and gently picking it up, the tender and juicy oyster meat fell into his mouth, and he didn't want to give up.
"En? Do you have it?" Li Zitao was enjoying his meal. The smell of the world's top oysters filled his brain with a charming aroma, and he couldn't stop.
"You, it's you, who brought it?" Mrs. Dever was wearing a long emerald green dress, her body was full of jewels, shining brightly.
And her attitude was even more aggressive, scanning Jesse up and down with contemptuous eyes, until the little secretary looked a little scared, and then said with disdain: "You dare to take out such imitation goods, where do you think this is?"
How could it be possible for the two young men who seemed so disrespectful to wear expensive jewelry and clothing, these things must have been imitations bought from somewhere.
"But they seem to be of good quality. I don't know where I can buy them." Mrs. Dever secretly guessed in her heart, and planned to ask the servants to inquire after returning.
"???" Jesse blinked blankly, thinking, 'Am I being cheated? '
"Really, is it really an imitation?" Although Jesse has the fashion sense that women are born with, he has no experience in jewelry, jewelry, and luxury goods.
So after Mrs. Dever questioned calmly, her first thought was not to refute, but to poke her head like a curious baby, constantly looking at the 'A' on her body. '
"..." Mdzz
With the clean oysters still on the table, Li Zitao wiped his palms with a clean white tablecloth, and put his arms around the little secretary's slender waist with a smile under Mrs. Dever's sharp gaze.
"I'm Charlie Lee, Who are you, bitch?"
Seeing Li Zitao's outstretched hand, Mrs. Dever lost her voice like a drake whose throat was pinched, and the guests who were waiting to see the joke gathered face to face.
Charlie Lee, they had heard the name countless times before they came, but they didn't expect to remember each other's appearance in such a way.
That's right, besides Charlie Lee, who else is Chinese who can appear in this banquet? Damn, why didn't they think of it before?
"Oh, Lee, Doris, do you already know each other? What are you talking about?" William Dever walked over in high spirits.
"This lady is questioning my identity, William, your guest?" Li Zitao raised his eyebrows and asked with a strange smile on his face.
"...Li, I think it's a misunderstanding. Doris is my wife." William Dever's face instantly collapsed, and he cast his eyes at his silent wife in an ugly way.
"Dever, maybe you should change your wife. Your brain is a good thing." He patted William Dever mercilessly on the shoulder, and Li Zitao walked towards the door with his arms around the little secretary.
Grant Fuze was standing there with an embarrassed expression on his face. Li Zitao felt that the director was cuter than the slightly fluttering William Dever.
He was sincere in persuading William, as the ancients said; get promoted and get rich in exchange for a wife!
"FK, uneducated guy, he actually said to me 'Bitch,' he is humiliating your wife..." Mrs. Dever growled with a distorted face, and looked at her husband William angrily.
"Shut up, Doris, do you want to embarrass me?" William Dever stared at her with a gloomy face. This damn stupid woman, what is she doing?
"But." Mrs. Dever looked at him unwillingly. It was her husband who helped him. This yellow man was able to develop steadily in Chicago. Who did he think he was?
There are many things about Li Zitao that even William Dever doesn't know.
Not to mention this Mrs. Dever who is busy partying every day.
In her cognition, Li Zitao, a Chinese, can have everything now because of the care of her husband, the star mayor of Chicago, William Dever.
And how dare he humiliate himself like that, 'Damn yellow monkey, you will regret your actions. ’ Mrs. Dever stared at Li Zitao’s back with resentment.
Compared to his wife, William at least knew Li Zitao's strength and ruthlessness. He was the man who took back the entire Chicago mafia in a short period of time by himself.
"Hi, Grant, this way." Li Zitao smiled and waved.
"Charlie, haha, I'm not late, am I?" Grant's eyes lit up, and he hurried up to greet him, bent over and held his hand enthusiastically.
"Of course." The two were chatting casually, and William came over calmly and greeted Grant like an old friend.
"Grant, I didn't expect you to come too. You've done a good job recently." William smiled while holding a crystal cup.
"Thank you, Mr. Mayor, for your compliments. It's all thanks to you. Chicago is a great city because we have a great mayor."
Listen, listen, this flattery made Li Zitao's teeth feel sore.
"Haha, Grant, you are too polite. All this glory comes from the trust of the people of Chicago. As their mayor, how can I let them down?"
Damn, listening to two politicians flattering each other here, Li Zitao felt his stomach overturned, and the top-quality oyster meat he just ate was about to spit out.
"Mr. Li, it's an honor to be able to attend your banquet." As soon as he turned around, a middle-aged man with glasses and a thin face, who looked like an Internet addict, greeted him.
"Thank you." Li Zitao blinked, not knowing how to address him.
"I'm Aiken, Aiken Wood, CEO of the First National Bank." Aiken didn't mean to be modest, and directly showed off his identity, which was shameless.
"Aiken, I'm very glad to meet you. Why don't we go over there and have a chat." Li Zitao smiled, pointing to the sofa area in the corner.
"Of course, can I invite some friends to join me?" Seeing the doubts on Li Zitao's face, Aiken explained: "They are all members of Club No. 22."
Hearing that he was a member of the club, Li Zitao became interested. As far as he knew, none of these members was simple. Is this a meeting with big bosses?
Li Zitao first took his little secretary to the sofa area to wait, and after a while Aiken came over with four people, and Li Zitao shook hands with them one by one.
"This is Senator Damon..." Jevich Damon, a Republican senator from IL (Illinois), has a fat body, always smiles, and speaks very funny.
"Pagana, my deputy." Edmund Pagana, the number one hardcore younger brother of the Wood family, is very influential in Chicago and is also one of the founding families of the First National Bank.
"Mr. Lawrence..." Lawrence Chen Rockefeller, John Jr.'s fourth son, just turned 19 this year, is currently an intern at the Venture Capital Department of First National Bank.
Li Zitao is very interested in this little Rockefeller, but he also knows that a personal relationship with an American is a personal relationship, and a business is a business.
If he couldn't arouse the attention of the Rockefeller family, then no matter how good his personal relationship with little Rockefeller was, it was just a friendship between the two of them.
"Mr. Samuel..." Samuel Insall, a public utility tycoon, Li Zitao showed a bright smile when he learned that the Chicago Civic Opera House was his property.
"Jesse, I need some beer and cigars." Li Zitao patted Jesse's buttocks and smiled, and everyone sitting around also showed good-natured smiles.
"Charlie, your female companion is dazzling tonight." Looking at Jesse walking into the distance, Aiken retracted his gaze and praised.
"Thanks, Aiken, are you alone tonight? Oh, this is too bad, maybe I should ask the hotel to prepare some hot girls, haha..."
"Aiken is old, and his interest only exists in appreciating with eyes, haha..." Samuel joked with this friend, trying to suppress his inner anxiety.
"Hehe, Samuel, I heard that you kneel next to the bed every night, using your mouth to satisfy your young mistress..." Aiken retorted, with a cold joke to heighten the atmosphere.
"Hey, friends, I thought you had brought the woman back to the room!" Jesse hadn't come back yet, but William came over with a glass of wine.
"William, how about my proposal? Hehe..." Li Zitao said with a sneer, still unwilling to turn over the matter just now.
"Oh, Charlie, let me go!" William put down his wine glass with a wry smile, raised his hands in surrender, and joked, "I've already been captured, you bastard..."
"Okay! I hope this kind of thing won't happen again next time." Li Zitao was talking, his gaze turned to the distance, and he happened to see Grant sitting on the wax.
It's not that Grant doesn't know the people here, but he is not interested in those small businessmen who need to curry favor with him. He hopes to integrate into Li Zitao's circle.
"Grant, come here." Li Zitao stood up and waved.
Grant instantly received countless jealous eyes, but he was completely indifferent to all of this, with a smile on his face, and walked quickly to the sofa area.
The brightest star of the night sat there, and as long as tonight passed, Grant could be sure that his prestige in Chicago would rise again.
"Grant, the Chief of the Chicago Police Department, my friend." Li Zitao introduced to everyone. William's face changed, but he didn't say anything.
As early as when Aiken Wood took the initiative to find Li Zitao, he had already seen that these figures with great energy tonight had come for Li Zitao from the beginning.
Fortunately, he still felt that his face was so great that even the Wood family could not ignore it. Now thinking about William, he only feels bitter in his heart.
"Charlie, I don't know if you are interested in investing in IL?" After joking, Jevic proposed the purpose of coming today.
As a senator of IL, seeking more benefits for the state citizens can make his achievements spread more widely and get more support.
If it wasn't like this, how could he, who is in the midst of a change of term, not give a speech to canvass votes, but come here to attend a boring reception.
"I'm considering this matter, maybe we can talk about it alone some other day." Li Zitao released a kind solicitation to Yevic.
"Of course, I like to be friends with kind people." Jevich smiled brighter.
"Charlie, Samuel wants to ask you for something, maybe you can help him." Seeing that his old friend didn't take the initiative to speak up for a long time, Aiken could only help him bring it up.
"Oh? What kind of problem." Li Zitao put down his crossed legs and looked at Samuel with great interest.
At this moment, Jesse came back with elegant steps, followed by several waiters, and put the wine and cigars on the table.
