Chapter 219: Birthday Present
As the largest metropolis in the United States and the most important economic center in the United States, New York is a battleground for both Democrats and Republicans. @頂@点@小@说, Mr. Speaker Tipu O'Neill, on behalf of the Democratic Action Committee, delivered a brief speech thanking the 30 people who came to the banquet for their generosity
In just two hours of banquet, $1 million was raised. And this kind of fundraiser is held by the Democratic Party hundreds of times a year, and this alone can easily raise hundreds of millions of dollars.
At the end of the banquet, Li Xuan left with Li Zhi. Li Zhi obviously didn't have much experience with such a high-end banquet, and he held Li Xuan's arm tightly from beginning to end. She listened to Li Xuan quietly introduce herself to various political bosses, and her eyebrows flashed with brilliance.
Li Xuan rarely took her to this kind of drinking party before, and the female companions on such formal occasions were the best choices, Zhong Chuhong, the real girlfriend. This time, Li Xuan took her to attend, which also means that Lizhi's status in the hearts of men has improved, and she is no longer a simple golden house treasurer.
Looking at his man chatting and laughing with the president of the National Assembly and the presidents of multinational companies, full of confidence in his gestures, Li Zhi couldn't help but have a trace of pride and admiration in his heart.
"Let's go, let's go to Times Square to watch the New Year's countdown crystal ball landing!"
Li Xuan gentlemanly put on a white mink coat and jacket for his girlfriend. Stepping out of the warm spring-like interior, it was a bitter cold of 23 degrees Fahrenheit (minus five degrees Celsius) outside, and the two of them had to be prepared for the cold.
"There must be a lot of people over there, can you still see it in the past?" asked Lizhi.
"You have to believe that your man will always have a way, there is a thing called privilege in this world!" Li Xuan took out a sign from his pocket, which was a VIP pass to enter the core stage area of Times Square.
The United States is an excess of capital. The saying that money can make ghosts grind is especially applicable. This VIP pass was obtained from the New York City Police Department by Edward Kennedy in the hands of Edward Kennedy.
In order to prevent accidents such as stampedes. Every year, the New York Police Department sends a large number of police officers to cordon off the entire area around Times Square. Dense crowds of people are fenced off into small squares, and no free entry or exit is allowed until the end of the festivities.
Although ordinary people can't get close to Times Square at this time. But the police officers who maintain order always have to reserve a special passage for the actors who have been performing for several hours before, as well as the mayor of New York and special guests who will come to the scene in person and press the crystal ball landing button at midnight. The VIP pass in Li Xuan's hand allowed him to take his woman through this special passage and enter the core stage of Times Square unimpeded.
After passing through the security check of a fat black policeman, the two were let in and went directly to the front of the performance stage in Times Square. Not far away on a makeshift tower. The crystal ball standing tall in the night sky is unusually dazzling.
Li Xuan raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, it was only half past eleven, and there was still half an hour before the arrival of the New Year. On the stage was a black hip-hop rapper, Li Xuan hugged Li Zhi from behind, smelled her faint perfume, and gently blew hot air on her neck.
Lizhi wore masks, earmuffs, and cold protection measures in place. She has lived in Huhai City since she was a child, and it should be her first experience. What is it like to be cold at minus 5 degrees Celsius.

After the previous rapper stepped down from the stage after the performance, a beautiful female voice soon came from the stage, and there was a slight sadness in her kind and natural voice. Li Xuan already knew that this was a very classic song called "Yesterday Again" as soon as he heard the beginning.
He looked at the stage. A man and a woman stand in the center of the stage, with the man playing the guitar and the woman singing. This should be the famous Carpenter siblings. The elder brother is responsible for composing the accompaniment and the younger sister is responsible for singing, this "Yesterday Again" is known as the most classic song in the United States in the 70s.
It's a soothing song. A golden song with a strong nostalgic style. It's a pity that when Li Xuan heard this song in later generations, the lead singer's sister Karen Carpenter had already passed away due to anorexia nervosa. This life. He finally had the opportunity to hear the original singer perform this beautiful melody live.
There are obviously not a few people who can sing softly at the scene, and tonight's New Year's Eve performance has entered the most. The Carpenter brothers and sisters, who were popular all over the United States throughout the 70s, do have the qualifications to be the finale guests. After singing "YesterdayOncemore", they sang another masterpiece "ToptheWorld".
The Carpenter siblings exited to the cheers of the audience, and the show finally came to an end, and the New Year's bell was about to ring. The New Year's countdown crystal ball falling ceremony in New York's Times Square began in 1904, and this year is the 79th edition. This time-honored event. It has evolved into the world's most famous New Year's event.
The current mayor of New York City delivered a warm New Year's greeting, expressing his hopes for the coming year. Then hundreds of thousands of people at the same time began a deafening shout sixty-second countdown.
The crystal ball is a 200-pound aluminum ball decorated mainly with red light bulbs dotted with green bulbs outlining a pattern of a Big Apple, also known as the "Big Apple" in New York.
Underneath the green apple motif is the slogan "iLoveyk", also outlined in green bulbs, the "I Love New York" campaign that the New York City government has been promoting in recent years, trying to reshape the image of New York from the noisy, dirty, and dangerous bad city image of the early '70s.
When everyone shouted "zero", the mayor and several special guests pressed the button together. A huge crystal ball fell from the sky in an instant. At the moment when the crystal ball fell, fireworks were lit in several buildings around the square.
In the midst of brilliant fireworks. Li Xuan hugged Li Zhi and kissed it!
I don't know how long it was, after a sweet and romantic French wet kiss. The two finally parted and smiled at each other. Men and women you know or don't know around. There are still many people who are still immersed in passionate kisses. Li Xuan also held Li Zhi's charming jade face again and kissed it, and the beauty took the initiative to offer a tender little fragrant tongue for him to tease and taste.
"Let's go!" Li Xuan gently put his hand on Li Zhi's waist, and Li Zhi obediently rested his head on the man's shoulder. Naturally, the two of them did not have to wait another hour or two like the spectators inside the fence to be allowed to leave after the crowd on the periphery had dispersed. The two of them left directly through the guò VIP channel.
Back in the presidential suite of the hotel, Li Zhi seemed to be still immersed in the romantic atmosphere just now, and as soon as she entered the door, she couldn't wait to wrap her arms around Li Xuan's waist and take the initiative to start kissing.
Li Xuan was naturally not to be outdone, and directly picked up the goblin horizontally and walked quickly into the bedroom. Throw her on the soft and spacious bed, and then like a tiger pounces on her, a fierce battle of intestines begins.
The next day, Li Zhi woke up from his sleep and habitually wanted to hug his broad and powerful chest, but found that Li Xuan was not in bed. As soon as she sat up from the bed, Li Xuan walked into the bedroom from outside the door with a faint smile on her face.
"Close your eyes, I haven't given you last night's birthday present yet!" Li Xuan pinned his hand behind his back. Commanded softly.
"Hmph, it's not sincere at all, my birthday has passed, and I just thought I haven't given a birthday gift yet!" Li Zhi made an angry and resentful expression, but still closed his eyes very obediently.
Li Xuan walked to the bedside. Place a picture frame face down on the orange duvet and smile, "Okay, you can open your eyes!" if you're not satisfied with the gift. I'll admit punishment!"
Li Zhi shook her eyelashes before she opened her beautiful black eyes. She immediately spotted the picture frame in front of her. When I turned it over, I couldn't help but show a sweet smile on the corner of my mouth.
The background of the picture frame is a crystal ball that slides into the air. and colorful fireworks that light up the night sky, and the protagonist is a man in a straight suit, gently hugging a beautiful girl in a white mink coat, and the two are kissing affectionately.
The composition of the photograph is a very beautiful artistic photo!
"When did you shoot it?, people are so bloated!" Li Zhi was dissatisfied that the heavy mink coat covered her proud figure, but her eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness when she looked up at the man.
Li Xuan smiled but said nothing. He spent a lot of money in advance to invite several first-class photographers to enter and wait, in order to capture this most beautiful moment. For this reason, he paid several professional photographers more than $10,000 in salaries, and the results of the professionals did live up to expectations.
Combined with dozens of photos taken by several photographers from different angles, the best of the best were finally developed overnight and made into a frame, this kissing photo is as beautiful as an art photo, and it is not like a deliberate pose, there is a trace of carving, and the two people in the picture look very natural and pure.
Li Xuan has never been stingy with his own women, and the credit card he gave to Lizhi, she would not blow it up even if she swiped it vigorously all day long. In addition, Li Xuan will also give her a million household every month. Lizhi now lives in a 2,000-square-foot (200-square-meter) mansion with her name on the property. Li Xuan also bought her a Maserati sports car and a BMW sedan for transportation.
It can be said that Lizhi's life is worry-free now, and there is no lack of material enjoyment at all. Therefore, Li Xuan's birthday gift must be a little new in order to impress the heart of the beauty.
Just as Li Zhi carefully admired the photo in his hand that kept the most romantic and meaningful moments of last night forever, Li Xuan took out a box from his pocket. When I opened the box, I was greeted by a ring set with a beautiful pink diamond.
He gently lifted Lizhi's slender hand and placed the ring on her white finger. Only then did Li Zhi react, opening her mouth slightly, and her face immediately showed a huge surprise. When a man puts a ring on a woman, there is always a special meaning, and Li Xuan has never given her a ring before.
"Maybe I can't give you a perfect marriage, but you are my most beloved baby!" Li Xuan felt numb even when he said these sweet words.
But girls are willing to eat this set, Li Zhi meekly leaned on Li Xuan's chest, and kept stroking the beautiful diamond ring on her hand.
What Li Xuan needs to do most at this time is to put Li Zhi back on the bed, and use an in-depth communication between heart and body to send her who is emotionally to the peak of happiness again. (To be continued......)
