After the ups and downs of 2001, the charity banquet in 2002 was more grand than before.

Although the recovery of the Internet economy has experienced some twists and turns, it is the general trend after all, and there is no suspense.

The growth of the Asia-Pacific region into a new global investment hotspot was also reflected in the charity dinner.

This can be seen from the fact that Apocalypse Investment was invited to be one of the three major sponsors of the banquet.

When Wu Tao and his convoy arrived, the scene could be said to be more star-studded and lively than the red carpet catwalk in Hollywood.

Luxury cars are everywhere, and beautiful women are like clouds.

Correspondingly, there are even more security guards than the guests at the banquet.

The car door opened under the arch guard of Song Zhuang and his party, and Wu Tao was the first to get out of the car, and he was shrouded in a burst of long guns and short cannons.

It's a bit of a red carpet look.

Wu Tao tried his best to keep his eyes wide open, so as not to be photographed closing his eyes and becoming black material for some unscrupulous media to ridicule the gimmick.

Fortunately, it only took a few seconds for his angry eyes to open, and he turned around and stretched out his arm, and in a gentlemanly manner, he took Molly, Panis, and Ivanka out of the car.

These three Yanmars with good looks have long been accustomed to such a big scene of long guns and short guns, especially Ivanka, who is tall and has a pretty face, and has been trained on the catwalk with countless spotlights.

So the foreign girl stood behind her, and the long guns and short guns immediately found a new focus.

At this time, Wu Tao had the opportunity to stretch out his right hand to Liu Ruoxi, who was still cramped in the car, and showed an encouraging smile.

Since being selected by the boss as the female companion of this charity dinner, Liu Ruoxi has experienced more than two hours of anxiety and joy.

It wasn't until she dressed up from head to toe in a dress of up to millions of yuan that she regained some self-confidence.

But just now, along the way, listening to the scandalous anecdotes of the three foreign girls ridiculing, and witnessing their eyebrows towards their boss, her heart slipped up again.

After all, Zhu Yu is in front, and he must not become a desecration behind, and then embarrass the boss.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Ruoxi's chest gradually calmed down, and then his slender wrist put his wrist on Wu Tao's right hand, and he got out of the car like a white jade.

Dressed in an elegant cheongsam full of Chinese style, with a well-crafted precious jade bracelet gesture, and an LV handmade leather bag embroidered with Chinese style, Liu Ruoxi's appearance attracted all the attention and attention.

The long guns and short cannons that were originally focused on the three glamorous foreign girls were immediately transferred to her.

At first, Liu Ruoxi was still a little flustered, until Wu Tao's encouragement of 'you are the most beautiful' came to her ears, and then she smiled and became relieved in the face of many cameras.

In fact, Wu Tao is not worried about Liu Ruoxi's image at all.

This set of costumes worth millions was originally tailor-made for An Rong. It wasn't until An Rong couldn't get out of business because of IBM that he had to find someone else to replace him temporarily.

As for saying that in the local circle in California, he once appeared as Molly's boyfriend, and now he has brought such a fresh and beautiful Chinese female companion, which is actually not a problem at all.

Importantly, at this strategically significant charity dinner, Molly needs to appear at the front desk as an independent person, and he also needs to bring Chinese style and Chinese elements to this traditional Western charity dinner.

The cold winds in California are still bitter.

Feeling the rapid loss of heat on his delicate body, Wu Tao decisively grabbed Liu Ruoxi's slender waist and walked into the venue.

At this moment, as one of the organizers of the dinner, Wu Yingying led people to greet her, followed by an old man in fancy clothes and an indecent old man.

This unscrupulous old man is no one else, it is Uncle Jason.

Now with gray hair, he is stunned to take care of the fashion color. As soon as he appeared, he squeezed his eyebrows at the foreign girls around him, and he really couldn't see his duty as a powerful figure in the Morgan consortium.

As for this old man in fancy clothes, Wu Tao didn't know him.

But it doesn't prevent people from getting to know him.

Without waiting for Wu Yingying's introduction, the old man in Huafu took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "I have heard the name of Mr. Wu for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it today." The contemptible Tang Wannian, who is the manager of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the United States, can say a few words. ”

Wu Tao enthusiastically shook the other party's thin palm and said, "President Tang, I have wanted to visit you for a long time. Today, we must have two more drinks. ”

Tang Wannian turned sideways, "Mr. Wu, please!"

"President Tang, please!"

was originally a very Western-style social occasion, but it was a bit of a combination of Chinese and Western for Tang Wannian.

It seemed that his status was there, and the people around him, including Jason, did not react.

Walking into the hotel lobby, everyone went straight to the elevator along the VIP channel, and there were a lot of polite etiquette in the middle, but fortunately, after a few humilities, they finally arrived at the top floor of the hotel, the main venue of the charity dinner.

Along the way, Liu Ruoxi was always a little cramped and difficult to let go, so that she didn't even hold Wu Tao's wrist, and grabbed her fist by herself, looking like she was waiting for it.

I know, I think she is Wu Tao's female companion, and I don't know, I think it's a secretary or something.

It wasn't until the elevator door opened that everyone else walked out first, but when Wu Tao and Liu Ruoxi beside him were left, Wu Tao arched his elbow in the other party's arms and said, "Remember, you are my female companion now, not a secretary." ”

Liu Ruoxi's face flushed, and her movements were slightly stiff and put her arms on his shoulder.

"You are the best. ”

After saying this, Wu Tao stepped out of the elevator and immediately attracted all the eyes of all directions in the venue.

Wu Tao glanced over at this time, only to find that he knew many familiar faces.

Needless to say, Rose of Barron's, whom I met earlier.

Many predators who know from the Tsinghua Economic and Management Advisory Board are also among them, such as Chairman Henry Paulson, President of Motorola, Christophe, and so on.

A little further afield, there are the two financial tycoons I knew earlier, Soros and Warren Buffett, and the circle they formed spontaneously.

However, on this trip to the United States, Craig, President of Intel, and Sanders, President of AMD, who had just dealt with him, took the initiative to meet them and stretched out their hands with enthusiasm.

After saying hello, Wu Tao met with the governor of California and several well-dressed congressmen under the recommendation of Tang Wannian and Wu Yingying.

The California governor Gray Davis looks particularly comedic, and Wu Tao has some impressions.

This impression is not so much because of how famous the governor is, but because his next governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is particularly famous.

According to the information in memory, Schwarzenegger did not take office as governor according to the normal 'arrival' election process, but because of the lack of ability of the current governor, which led to California's economic downturn and fiscal deficit and was ousted.

Eventually, after the governor was ousted, he began to make his way into Hollywood.

In this regard, it is similar to Schwarzenegger's return to politics from Hollywood.

It seems to say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.

Wu Tao was pondering here, and a majestic and hearty voice came from afar, "Huaxia Wu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
