Chapter 59: Strive for your own happiness

As soon as she returned to the company, Elizabeth sent a fax to Chen Geng: "Boss, Mr. Alex Goodrich invites you to this Friday's campaign charity dinner, and if you decide to attend, Mr. Alex Goodrich's campaign team will send you an invitation later." ”

Alex Goodrich's campaign charity dinner?

"Oh......"

After reading this introduction from Alex Goodrich's campaign committee about the campaign charity dinner, Chen Geng immediately understood what was going on: Detroit's mayoral election has entered a white-hot stage.

At the end of each election, candidates from both sides will attend a charity dinner called "Al Smith Dinner", the main purpose of which is to raise funds for Catholic activities.

After the atmosphere came up, the two candidates began to praise each other's opponents, called on the two parties to strengthen cooperation, and finished shouting God bless the United States, ending with the main theme - basically, if we can put on a song "Unforgettable Tonight" at the end, and at the same time paper flowers fall on the ceiling, then it will be the American version of our annual Spring Festival Gala.

The self-deprecation, blackmailing, and ridicule between the two candidates at this dinner party were mainly to lighten the atmosphere, and to show the public that no matter how fierce the campaign and struggle between the two parties were, it was still a game played by the elite at the top...... There are differences, but that's what it means.

This tradition not only exists in the presidential election, but also in the following states, cities, and even counties and towns The election campaign basically follows this path, but it is not so serious below, and the situation of charity dinners between states is similar to that of the president's campaign charity dinners, but when it comes to the cities, counties and even towns below, it is not good, it is messy, and there are also poor places that do not hold dinners.

For example, in the campaign charity dinner held by Alex Goodrich, Chen Geng did not see the name of Alex Goodrich's rival on the fax sent by Alex Goodrich's campaign committee, and the campaign charity dinner that was supposed to be attended by two people together became a one-man show by Alex Goodrich.

Speaking of which, now is not the time to hold a campaign charity dinner, this time should be a campaign fundraising dinner, and it is estimated that in the end, the vast majority of the money raised by this campaign charity dinner will become Alex Goodrich's campaign fund.

But this has nothing to do with Chen Geng, anyway, the person he supports is Alex Goodrich, and he immediately nodded: "OK, let them send the invitation." ”

"Okay, I'll tell them. Elizabeth immediately nodded, her face excited.

In Elizabeth's opinion, who has no political common sense at all, the people who can attend the mayor's campaign charity dinner are all big names and upper-class people in Detroit......

"Anything else?" Looking at Elizabeth, who was struggling to leave, Chen Geng was a little strange.

"That...... Elizabeth, who ...... always looked like a fierce man, was rarely shy: "Boss ......"

Chen Geng frowned, a little unhappy: "If you have something to say, hurry up." ”

The slightly stern tone did not frighten Elizabeth, but the girl was heartfelt: "Boss, do you have a female companion?"

"What?" Chen Geng was a little confused.

"Isn't it necessary to bring a female companion to a dinner party like this kind of high society...... If you don't have a female companion, how about taking me there?"

"......" Chen Geng seriously doubted whether the sturdy girl just now and this little woman with a shy face were a woman.

Elizabeth, who waited for a long time and didn't wait for a response, quickly raised her head and saw that Chen Geng was distracted, and was a little anxious: "Boss, please, take me to see and see, okay?"

What else can Chen Geng say? Anyway, you have to bring a female companion to the dinner, as long as the people who look and have a decent figure are beautiful after putting on makeup, who doesn't bring them? Nodding indifferently: "Okay, but do you have a dress for this kind of dinner?"

"Really, did you agree?" I didn't expect Chen Geng to agree so happily, Elizabeth was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I'll go buy evening dresses after work...... Boss, can I take a leave of absence now?"

"......" looked at the excited speechless Elizabeth, Chen Geng was a little speechless: Woman. Waved his hand helplessly: "Go, go, go...... Never mind. ”

"......" Elizabeth didn't speak, pouting and glaring at Chen Geng, obviously dissatisfied with Chen Geng's reversal so quickly.

It seems really embarrassing to think of going to a dinner without a female companion, and if the female companion's makeup and clothing are not appropriate, it is still Lao Tzu's person who loses it, Chen Geng asked slowly: "Are you sure you know what kind of clothes to buy and what kind of makeup to wear when attending this kind of charity dinner?"

Elizabeth, who was still puffing up just now, instantly coaxed: "Uh...... I don't know ......."

"I know you don't know," Chen Geng sighed: "That's it, anyway, I won't have anything to do, you can go and choose a suitable evening dress together, and then find a better image design center to help you design a makeup." ”

The evening dresses that really participate in the high-end banquet are customized, Chen Geng didn't plan to customize a set for Elizabeth, but he didn't plan to buy that kind of finished street goods, isn't that a shame for himself, Chen Geng is going to buy Elizabeth is the kind of semi-finished evening dress, which has been roughly completed, but it can be revised and adjusted locally according to the figure of the guest, the delivery speed of the semi-finished evening dress is relatively fast, usually it can be taken away in two to three days, and the price is much cheaper than the fully customized evening dress, of course, you don't expect the master of the evening dress to be how famous the tailor is。

But how did Elizabeth know this?

"Of course it's true, you go and talk to Statham, let's have lunch and leave," Chen Geng stretched out his hand and pointed to the door of his office: "You can go to work." ”

Elizabeth didn't care at all, the boss paid for it, hugged Chen Geng with a smile, and kissed him the face: "Hehe...... You're a good boss. ”

Chen Geng was furious!

Lao Tzu's first kiss...... Oh, no, it's Lao Tzu's "been" first kiss, it's gone?!

....................................

Chen Geng didn't expect that Elizabeth, who is "not inconspicuous and dewy" on weekdays, has such a good figure, this royal blue silk evening dress is worn on her body, and with the evening makeup given by the image consultant in this evening dress store, Chen Geng, who has seen a lot of beauties, actually feels a little amazing.

He couldn't help but clap his hands: "Beautiful!"

"Thank you," Elizabeth made a classical curtsy as she pinched the hem of her skirt with mischievous hands, "and you have a good eye." ”

The owner of the dress shop took the opportunity to boast about Chen Geng: "Perfect, it's so perfect, sir, this evening dress is simply tailor-made for your wife, Annie, mark this dress as not for sale, except for this beautiful lady, I don't think anyone else is qualified to wear this evening dress." ”

Chen Geng couldn't say anything, denying it at this time, Elizabeth's face was lost, Elizabeth peeked at Chen Geng, and saw that Chen Geng had no intention of refusing, so he lowered his head, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Elizabeth, who came out of the dress shop and had been following Chen Geng, bowing her head and not speaking, suddenly mustered up the courage to say to Chen Geng: "Chen, what if...... I mean, if you have a similar activity in the future and you don't find a female companion for a while, you can ask me for help. ”

The hint in these words is already obvious: if you open your mouth, I will be your girlfriend.

Also, like Chen Geng, a single young man who has accumulated a huge fortune in a short period of time that is almost impossible for ordinary people to earn in a lifetime, has a great future and is humble and low-key, and is the most ideal life partner for almost all single women in the United States.

Of course he understood, but he could only pretend not to understand: "Okay, I'll trouble you before I find a girlfriend." ”

The light in Elizabeth's eyes dimmed, she was a few years older than Chen Geng, she was no longer a teenager who only knew rebellious and maverick little girl, she had begun to think about her future life. Although Chen Geng refused, she still wanted to work hard for her happiness: "I know that you are very conservative about sex, but I don't plan to ask you for anything......"

"I understand what you mean, I'm also a normal man with normal needs," Chen Geng poked his chest with his backhand and said with a smile: "I'm just sad about myself, of course, it's okay for you to understand this as a Chinese man's conservatism." ”

"Okay," snorting vigorously, Elizabeth forced a smile, "I suddenly envy your future wife, she must be a very happy woman." ”

No matter how liberated and revolutionary it is, the yearning for simple and beautiful love in the hearts of human beings will not change, and who doesn't want to meet a lover who is loyal to him and loves only himself all his life? But Chen Geng's refusal made Elizabeth know in her heart that she had no chance.
