Text Chapter 134: Reception in the Political Circle
San Francisco
Zhou Jiexi didn't go home for a few days after returning to the United States, not only because of school affairs, but also because of an interest crisis that Apple had already shown signs of earlier, and recently began to erupt. After dealing with it for a few days, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, I’m in San Francisco. I’m going to participate in parties and receptions organized by Chinese-Americans, and exchange feelings with elite-level Chinese-Americans. At the reception, he was becoming more and more at ease now, and he was able to get along like a fish in water. A few words here, a few words there. It's not as boring as those novels say at all. It's a fun social activity. How can people say it's so boring?
This question is worth considering. Zhou Jiexi also saw that the people who came to the reception rarely go to places where there are no people, unless they have special needs. Or want to smoke a cigarette and don't want to disturb others. Anyway, he doesn't know what other people think, and he likes this kind of activity more and more.
Become the center of the crowd, the object of attention and the object of fawning. Always follow your will when chatting, and you can hear someone complimenting you in a few sentences. Isn't that bad? There are also a lot of gossip, he is the person who likes to listen to people's gossip and comment on gossip.
"Have you heard? Another candidate for governor recently smashed a Chinese vase at home!"
Zhou Jiexi looked at the person below who had been here for some time, and the person who had chatted with a few people just now showed his existence, so the words coming in would not be too abrupt.
"Have you heard of it?" Zhou Jiexi asked curiously: "What I heard is that he smashed all the vases given by his father-in-law, or is he an antique from the Celestial Dynasty?"
"Well, he regretted it after smashing it. It was rumored that he was looking for a craftsman from the Celestial Dynasty to repair it and go back to fool his father-in-law." He said with a smile: "This incident has already spread in the Chinese antique circle!"
"Wow, it looks like our other candidate has a really bad temper!" Zhou Jiexi gloated.
"Cheers!" The man clinked glasses with others.
"Jesse Zhou" Zhou Jiexi introduced himself. "Nice to meet you!"
"Me too!" The man immediately said, "Mies Jiang immigrated from Singapore!"
It's as simple as that, that's how Jesse got to know people last week at the reception party, and it was by himself. Some are introduced by friends, introducing each other. The same is true for these, if they feel that they will need it in the future, then contact them when you have time. I feel that there may not be any cooperation in the future, and I try to remember this person as much as possible. When we meet at other parties and receptions in the future, we can be regarded as acquaintances.
Having enjoyed the conversation here, Zhou Jiexi turned his head to look, planning to find a circle to exchange some things he is interested in. Unexpectedly, he met the current Chinese official in San Francisco. This old guy has accepted the proposal of the federation and plans to run for the mayor of this term. Most likely, after the governor takes office, He could become interim mayor.
Li Mengxian and Zhou Jiexi are also old friends, not to mention the many meetings during this period, the personal friendship is still very deep in private. The most important thing is that this person really suits her taste. It's just that he is sometimes a little hypocritical. He has to be told before he can say that he wants to be the mayor.
"Uncle Li, it seems a little early for you to start thinking about the issue of San Francisco?" Zhou Jiexi looked at the old man in front of him speechlessly, "I do have this plan for the relocation of the Warriors, but you know that, I am also burdened by fame and fortune now, if I leave like this, it will be difficult for Oakland to explain."
"You also know that the election is going on in Oakland right now. Aunt Guan's side, I will not support it. If the Warriors talk about things, people in the federation will talk! As the vice chairman, you can't do things unfairly!" Zhou Jiexi Looking at Li Mengxian in embarrassment, he said.
"This matter will take a year. Anyway, it will take time for the stadium contract to expire. If you have no problems in San Francisco in the future, make a plan first and give a reasonable relocation discount. I am moving the Warriors here, so it will be a matter of course. !"
Li Mengxian didn't mean to say anything more this time, "It's really hard to explain to Guan Lizhen, so you can talk to her first. After all, Oakland is still too small. Compared with San Francisco, it is more difficult for those who want to become a dynasty." For the Warriors, it’s just a small pool, and San Francisco is not an ocean, but at least it’s the largest freshwater lake.”
"I will remember this matter. The relocation of the Warriors is absolutely necessary. No one's will can shake my determination." Zhou Jiexi assured.
While the two were talking, Guan Lizhen really looked over. As a politician of Chinese origin, Guan Lizhen knew Li Mengxian very well. It was already a matter of time before her eyes that this old man had a good relationship with the old guys in the federation. Now she had such a good relationship with this little guy, which inevitably made her a little embarrassed taste.
"Aunt Guan is here, let me talk to her!" Zhou Jiexi said to Li Mengxian.
"Her recent election is important, if you can support her, please help her as much as possible!" Li Mengxian also said that as both Chinese, the greater the political power, the better for everyone.
"This is for sure!" Zhou Jiexi said, and walked towards Guan Lizhen.
When Zhou Jiexi walked over there, several people in Guan Lizhen's circle also looked at him, "Jesse, you seem to be handsome recently!"
"Thank you Ms. Zhao!" Zhou Jiexi greeted Meixin.
"Young people are indeed enviable!" Guan Lizhen also said with emotion.
There are not many female politicians in the Chinese political circle, and there are not many of them who are in the top. At this time, the few people here are already the best. One is a congressman and the other is a mayoral candidate.
Don't give Zhao Meixin a chance to speak, "Jesse, thank you for helping to find those 'volunteers'"
"This is not due to me alone. People in the federation also hope to see more Chinese politicians who can make achievements in the American political circle," Zhou Jiexi said without taking credit.
These "volunteers" are more than a thousand people, some of them are real volunteers, some of them are in the name of volunteers, but they are actually called to help. Then everyone really doesn't know very well. The only thing they know is that even though the campaign funds are relatively small, Guan Lizhen's public opinion is still among the high scores.
The probability of being elected this time is very high, even if someone wants to suppress it, it is not so easy.
