Chapter 3355 Close Allies
The venue for this banquet was the independent villa of the leader of the party that the Chi family stood on.
This party leader had just retired from the presidency. Although he was no longer the president, he was still one of the leaders of his party and had a lot of say in American politics.
Before the guests arrived at the villa, the security check had been completed near the villa. The patrol teams composed of police and private bodyguards patrolled the streets and blocked all uninvited people and cars.
In addition, there were teams of bodyguards patrolling inside and outside the villa walls. Searchlights illuminated every corner of the villa. The whole villa was brightly lit and heavily guarded.
The gate of the villa was half open. There was a team of more than 20 bodyguards at the gate. Everyone wore bulletproof vests and used their bodies to form a wall blocking the gate. When the car approached the gate and slowed down, a bodyguard would come forward to check the invitation letter and observe the status of the guests in the car. After confirming that the guests did not seem to be held hostage or threatened, they would signal all the people at the door to step back and let the car the guests were riding in drive into the gate.
After it got dark, a number of extended luxury cars drove into the gate one after another and slowly drove to the open space near the banquet hall and parked.
Nanatsuki followed Chi Feichi out of the car, looked at the patrol team passing by, and quietly observed the men and women getting off the cars nearby. She found that everyone was not dressed too formally, and her heart finally settled down.
Fortunately, her previous judgment was correct. Everyone should treat this as a small internal gathering.
Among the men and women who looked like guests here, almost no men wore formal black evening gowns, and the colors of the women's dresses were mostly light and bright. If it weren't for the overly eye-catching jewelry on those women, it would look like a group of friends going to a friend's house to attend each other's pre-wedding party.
When she saw the security arrangements nearby, she remembered the identity of the villa owner and the identity of the guests tonight, and she was a little worried that her previous judgment was wrong - if everyone else was dressed formally and they were dressed casually, it would be a bit embarrassing...
Chi Feichi found that after Yueshui Nanatsuki got off the car, he stretched out his hand to hold her arm and leaned towards her. Worried that Yueshui Nanatsuki was too nervous, he lowered his head and leaned close to Yueshui Nanatsuki's ear and whispered, "Do you remember the trick I told you on the way?"
"Of course I remember..." Yueshui Nanatsuki thought of the 'trick' that Chi Feichi had said before, and her mood suddenly relaxed. She smiled and nodded to Chi Feichi, and replied softly, "I just need to treat those people as potential clients in my detective career, that's all."
On the way here, she was also worried about whether she would do a bad job and whether she would drag Mr. Chi down, and Mr. Chi told her a way to relieve her tension - just treat everyone tonight as her potential clients.
To be honest, this method is really effective.
As a private detective, she had met some celebrities, wealthy people, and military and political leaders before. She knew very well that these people would also have troubles of one kind or another, and their families might have more and more ridiculous things than ordinary people.
Although the people she was about to meet tonight were more powerful than her past clients, and although she and Mr. Chi knew very well that the people she met tonight would most likely not ask her to investigate anything or become her clients, but...
As long as she tried to imagine those people as potential clients, the aura of the big bosses on those people disappeared in her eyes.
Whether it was the former president of a big country or the legendary financial giant family, once she associated them with the Party A she had met before, she only had one thought in her mind - never make some requests that humans could not do, never make unreasonable troubles, and it would be better if the money could be given generously, thank the Party A boss.
The disenchantment was completely removed.
In addition, Mr. Chi told her that if a woman wanted to trick her during a chat, when the other party started to make contact with her, she could tell the other party that she was a detective and then tell the other party a detective story...
She just needed to observe the other party's interests or personality first, pick an event that the other party might be interested in, and if possible, make the event more exciting. She had a great hope of fooling the other party for the whole night.
With Mr. Chi providing her with a solution, she had a good idea in her heart and was even eager to try.
Since she met Mr. Maori, she had encountered many strange events, and it was no problem to talk from tonight to tomorrow morning...
...
Before 7 o'clock in the evening, all the invited guests entered the banquet hall.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the owner of the villa, the nearly 70-year-old party leader, arrived at the banquet hall, welcomed everyone, and introduced Chi Feichi, the heir of the new alliance member's family. After a simple welcome speech, he left the banquet hall first.
This gathering was a gathering of heirs from various families. Although the oldest of these heirs was in their forties and the youngest was only around twenty years old, and the age gap was quite large, they all belonged to the generation that did not formally hold power. As the generation that held power, the party leader was indeed not very suitable to participate.
After the party leaders left, a man in his thirties approached Chi Feichi with a cheerful face and said hello, "Fei Chi, long time no see, do you remember me? We met at a banquet in London on the eve of Queen Isabella's birthday!"
"Of course, Carol," Chi Feichi responded calmly, expressing his goodwill through words, "The Field family and the Warburg family have cooperated in the early years. If I forget you, it would be wrong."
Yueshui Nanatsuki accompanied Chi Feichi and keenly discovered that after the man approached Chi Feichi to talk, many people around him focused their eyes on the two and stopped talking. They were calm on their faces and silently analyzed the situation in their hearts.
The people around him did not seem to be examining this man or Mr. Chi. When they focused their eyes on this man and Mr. Chi, they all had smiles on their faces, which was obviously releasing goodwill. After Mr. Chi and this man exchanged goodwill, these people looked more relaxed, including the son of the former president and the young master of this villa.
According to this situation, this man is probably the core figure in the alliance.
The other party seemed to have known Mr. Chi for a long time, and the other party was also very friendly to Mr. Chi, which should be more conducive to Mr. Chi's contact with other people...
"Hahaha..." The man laughed, "I'm really happy to hear you say that! The degree of happiness is second only to the day I learned that you joined our camp!"
"This time, we can meet as close allies," Chi Feichi didn't smile like the man, but his calm expression looked serious, "I am also happy about this."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki: "..."
Who on earth is this Carol, who can make Mr. Chi say such a thing.
Hearing Mr. Chi say this, she is a little jealous...
