Chapter 265: Don't Look Down on Yourself!(Second Watch, Ask for Votes to Continue~Thank You~)
"I still don't understand, it's impossible for someone of your status to help me for no reason. Although it's a little bit of money, it's not a person who can get it on the table at all, right?" Lin Zitan said with a smile.
"Young man, although I am not a few years older than you, I still have to tell you, don't look down on yourself!
For a person like you, who has no background and can accumulate a net worth of hundreds of millions with just one scratch ticket, there is no need to be so arrogant.
Of course, the reason why I help you naturally has my own reasons. When you can get in and out of high society with ease,
You will find out how cruel the fight in high society is, and how gossip kills a woman with dreams step by step!
By the way, you have to believe that your enemies will never be able to attack just one person, especially if they have the ability to cover up the truth!" Eric stood up from his seat and motioned for Lin Zitan to follow him out.
If Lin Zitan listens to Eric's words and still doesn't understand what others mean, then he is too stupid, although Eric is not as clear as what he said, but it is related to his origin,
Lin Zitan could conclude that Amanda, a woman who thought she was noble, must have inadvertently offended Eric or his mother.
If the interpersonal relationships of these wealthy circles are the same, then it is obvious that Eric is definitely no stranger to the woman Amanda.
Although Lin Zitan doesn't know what Eric has with Amanda and Amanda's family, knowing Eric will be a very important help for what he wants to do.
In fact, Lin Zitan has been trying to find a way to slowly infiltrate their sphere of influence after knowing Amanda's strength, but unfortunately, except for a little blow to a few small companies in the hands of Mike's straw bale son Leo, everything else has had little effect.
Following Eric out, the man who had helped Lin Zi open the second door just now was waiting respectfully at the door, and when he saw them coming out, he immediately reported to Eric: "Boss, the banquet upstairs has begun. ”
"Okay, it's time to go up and have a look~"
Saying that, Eric didn't seem to care whether Lin Zitan was following behind him, so he followed the man to the spiral staircase in the middle of the hall.
It wasn't until he was about to push open a double-open door upstairs that he stopped, saw Eric pause, buttoned the only suit button that had been open before, turned his head and said to Lin Zi:
"Don't think you're short on money, think you're the richest person in all of New York, and they're just ants under your feet. After speaking, the corners of his mouth raised an elegant arc, and he motioned for the man who led the way to open the door.
---------------
Lin Zitan followed behind Eric, and as soon as he entered the door, he was attracted by the melodious music inside, unlike the hysterical drum kit last time, on the small stage tonight, there was a woman with a violin in her hand, playing elegantly.
Most of the people in the room are men dressed as business elites, and several male waiters in black suits are constantly shuttling in between.
In addition to all these dynamics, what impressed Lin Zitan the most was the oil paintings on the walls that still radiated a special light despite the darkness.
Lin Zitan's house is about the same size as Eric's, but because Eric is on the top floor, the price is at least double that of his house.
The most unusual thing is that Eric's floor was supposed to be used as a space for three bedrooms and a study and office.
It was completely turned into an art gallery, with the entire second floor of about 2,000 feet open up except for the necessary load-bearing walls.
It can be used not only as a small banquet hall for one or two hundred people at a time, but also as a professional gallery for art exhibitions.
After Eric brought him in, there was a moment of silence in the hall, even the girl playing the violin stopped playing, and almost everyone stopped moving to look at them.
"Good evening everyone, welcome to my private banquet hall, and introduce a new friend to you today~" As he spoke, Eric turned around, pushed Lin Zitan forward, and put his arm on his shoulders and said:
"This is a new friend of mine, he is a very admirable upstart in the real estate industry, please welcome him. ”
After Eric finished speaking, after the people present reacted from a second of stunnedness, they immediately burst into sparse applause, yes, just sparse applause, because the corners of many people in the crowd were sneering at the corners of their mouths.
Lin Zitan thought to himself, either because Eric introduced the so-called upstarts to this group of people too often, which made people lose their freshness, or because these people were suspicious and sarcastic about a new upstart in the real estate industry who had never heard a name.
But no matter what, the sparse applause had already made Lin Zitan completely feel the indifference and arrogance in the aristocratic circle of the Upper East Side.
Lin Zitan nodded lightly towards the crowd, and did not show the slightest hint of greeting the people in this circle.
Anyway, among this group of arrogant people, the most arrogant person has become his backer, and the others only need him to deal with it a little.
What's more, it is difficult to make sincere friends in civilian life all at once, let alone in this so-called upper class group that only determines the level by money?
Lin Zitan didn't look forward to what friends he could make at this small banquet tonight, but he couldn't ignore Eric's kindness.
After Eric introduced him to the group, he walked directly to the bar in the middle of the living room, where he had renovated it into a bartender with a curved table.
The girl who was playing the violin in front of her had continued her playing, and as Eric approached, the crowd of people passing by smiled and nodded at him.
Lin Zitan, who was following Eric, wanted to laugh very much when he saw the smiles of those people who disappeared in an instant, because these people changed their faces much faster than the actors in our Sichuan opera.
Eric walked to the back of the bar and went straight backstage, and the original bartender saw him come in and stood a little inside, his hands not stopping.
After Eric entered, he turned around and found a few bottles of base wine in that row of base wines, took out the bartending tools, mixed a cocktail out of three times and five by two, and raised his head and put it on the bar in front of Lin Zitan.
"Taste, welcome to Manhattan!"
After Eric finished speaking, he turned around and took a bottle of whiskey from the wine storage cabinet under the wine table, added half a glass of ice cubes to a mug, poured it up, and touched Lin Zi who was hesitant to drink it.
Lin Zitan actually knows this cocktail called Manhattan, but most of this wine is what some fashionable girls like to drink.
There is also a cocktail called Cosmopolitan, which became popular because of the strong recommendation of several heroines in a hit American drama "Sex and the City" a few years ago.
After touching the cup, Lin Zitan put away the trace of helplessness, and tentatively drank a small sip, the feeling in the mouth was sweet with a hint of bitterness, and a little bit of medicinal fragrance, not as motherly as he imagined, as a man, he seemed to be able to accept it.
"Hey, Eric, I heard you're really going to enter the real estate world, are you really going to fight against you?"
At this moment, a slightly playful voice suddenly sounded on Lin Zitan's right hand.
"What, you're going to invest in me?" Eric put down the glass in his hand and looked at the visitor with a smile.
Lin Zitan watched the visitor casually spread the tie around his neck a little,
His eyes swept over Lin Zitan's body indifferently, obviously not taking him into account at all,
Lin Zitan listened silently to the conversation between the two, and quietly took a sip of the cocktail made by Eric in his hand.
Then I heard the man laugh and say:
"Investment? Do you still lack my little money? I'm just wondering what happened to your gallery?
I've heard that you've bought quite a few famous paintings some time ago, what about them?" the man said, turning his head and looking around at the surrounding walls.
