Chapter 23: High Society

After all, it is a private banquet, so the nature of the banquet is very relaxed, and there is no such panache as is common in movies. But he was really the only one who wore casual clothes like Jiang Chen to enter the venue. He can't be blamed for this, after all, Jiang Chen is here for a vacation, where will he prepare any troublesome formal clothes?

Elegant piano music plays on the stage in front of the restaurant, and celebrities from all walks of life come to the restaurant with wine glasses to find their circle of interest and join in to chat with like-minded people. However, Jiang Chen here was a complete anomaly, walking around the edge of the venue with a plate, circling around the long tables full of feasts. It was as if neither the prom nor the social could arouse his interest.

Well, this steak is really good for his mother

Jiang Chen chewed very elegantly, nodded with satisfaction, and wiped the oil stains on the corners of his mouth with a paper towel after eating. Ahem, foodies are foodies, if you don't pay attention to the image when you eat, it's a real turtle, maybe the security guard will invite him out

Jiang Chen held the red wine and raised his eyes to look at the position of the protagonist of the dinner.

Tsk, I have to say that the Arab tyrants are indeed rich. As far as the princess is concerned, that posture is definitely at the level of calamity. The convex and backward figure, as well as the willow waist that Yingying grasped. The delicate bridge of the nose and the attractive eye sockets, as well as the slender willow eyebrows. This princess has both the face of an Oriental beauty and the figure of a Western beauty, and she also has a dignified and feminine temperament between her gestures.

Didn't wear a headscarf? It must have been someone from Lebanon.

The shining diamond hanging on the neck of the glamorous princess, Jiang Chen couldn't see the price. However, judging from the size alone, it must be a price in the hundreds of millions, and it is also in dollars.

The prince standing beside her was also quite handsome, but Jiang Chen was not interested in men, so he didn't observe too much. The two protagonists are either arms tycoons or oil tycoons, and there are also several Asian faces, and Jiang Chen can't see their specific nationalities.

The rest of the celebrities from all walks of life gathered in groups of three or five, around the center of the venue to the outward branch. Jiang Chen saw a lot of familiar faces in it, such as the queen of the music world, and the bald head who played Fast and Furious could see so many celebrities here, Jiang Chen couldn't help but be slightly surprised, but he didn't chase stars, so he didn't plan to go up to sign it.

"Mr. Nayev, I wonder why you chose to celebrate this wonderful moment for your concubine in this mysterious East?"

"Haha, I love this place. Last time it was in Hawaii, but the scenery is nice and there aren't so many annoying reporters. ”

Of course, there are reporters, but they are all invited by the police to talk, such as discussing what passport, procedures, proving that you are you, and so on. No matter how anxious the foreign devils with the camera are, they won't let you go anyway. Is it important to cooperate with the legal process or is it important to have your big fart news? Do you want to leave? Yes, stay honest and wait until the time is over, or I will give you a debut certificate question after you prove this.

I have to say that money is sometimes more useful in the Celestial Empire than in capitalist countries.

While in Hawaii, Nayef had to spend more than twice as much money to hire the underworld to do these things, and then spend about the same amount of money to bribe the police to ignore it

The one-stop service of the Celestial Empire made him, a Middle Eastern tyrant with a lot of money and nowhere to spend, very satisfied.

It is precisely because Prince Nayev has handled the ** aspect of the problem so thoroughly every time that his sensitive friends will dare to come from far and wide to attend his dinner. While the hospitable Nayev sent invitations to all the "qualified" people in the hotel, not all of them were residents, such as the oil tycoon with whom he was chatting and laughing.

It's also quite interesting, in order to be able to join this circle full of "resources", many people even book a luxury room for a few nights. Jiang Chen was able to book the most expensive beach villa room at this time, and he was really a little lucky in it. Before he came, he had never heard of any Middle Eastern tycoons holding a banquet here.

"Mr. Aurora, I wonder if you dare to be interested in five tankers full of crude oil?"

"Of course I'm interested, my little ones burn those things every day. Haha, Mr. Zahar, we might as well step aside and talk about it. ”

"It's a great honor. ”

Almost every minute, a big or small transaction was completed, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh a little, he was actually standing aside eating salmon while witnessing everything. There are also many wealthy Chinese businessmen in his vicinity who are talking about business, talking about the market, and even some ** things. Jiang Chen heard a lot of explosive news because of this.

For example, an actress who is rumored to be about to get married slept in the room of a certain real estate tycoon in China last night. A certain idol singer who became famous as a pure jade girl also participated in a lewd pa opened by a coal boss last night, and the name seems to be quite familiar, and Jiang Chen also played one or two of her songs on his mobile phone

This can choke Jiang Chen's thunder enough, but it is expected to think about it. Unspoken rules are nothing new in the entertainment industry, especially for those actresses who have become popular and have no backstage.

It would be unimaginable for journalists to be in such a place

Of course, it's absolutely impossible for a journalist to be here.

"A5 Kobe beef tenderloin, good stuff. ”

"Well, it's really good" Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, and looked at the white strong man sitting opposite him in some surprise.

"Just a small piece costs $300, sir, your way of eating is really a little painful for the viewer. The white man with short hair and stubble smiled, showing a mouth full of white teeth, but there was no flesh pain on his face. That standard Mandarin made Jiang Chen even have the illusion that this was for a compatriot in white skin.

"How do you know I'm Chinese. Jiang Chen smiled and asked with some curiosity. If you put Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese together, if you don't open your mouth, let alone Europeans and Americans, even Jiang Chen himself may not be able to distinguish them.

"I've always been very accurate. My name is Bruce Miller. Bruce smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to Jiang Chen.

Because you're the best at eating blues.

Holding Bruce's outstretched hand, Jiang Chen also smiled kindly.

"Jiang Chen. ”

As soon as you look at it, you know that you don't think of anything good Jiang Chen said in his heart.

Intuition told Jiang Chen that this guy named Bruce was not simple. Of course, the "not simple" here does not mean that he is rich, everyone here is rich. But it refers to another sense that it is not simple, this person has a smell of blood on his body. Only people who have lived and died can have this kind of aura, which makes Jiang Chen can't help but be a little vigilant, he doesn't understand what this guy means by finding him.

"Don't be nervous, I just see that my peers are very kind. Bruce noticed Jiang Chen's vigilant eyes, and couldn't help but smile and wave his hand.

When I go, the feelings regard me as a peer? Jiang Chen had a feeling of crying and laughing.

"Oh, is it so obvious?" Jiang Chen didn't poke it, just raised his eyebrows and asked with a slightly curious expression.

"Didn't Mr. Jiang Chen notice that those security guards at the door are looking at you?" Bruce took a sip of red wine and said lightly.

Staring at me, what are you listening to me doing? Jiang Chen glanced at the security guard wearing sunglasses at the door with a smile, and the burly muscles were very threatening. Jiang Chen didn't have the ability to look through his sunglasses, and he didn't know how this person named Bruce knew where those security guards were staring, so he just gently took a sip of red wine.

"I, Mr. Bruce, you're laughing, I'm just a normal guy who comes to the resort to relax. Jiang Chen's tone was very flat.

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Bruce breathed a sigh of relief. As a mercenary, it is not reasonable to enter such an occasion, but since Saudi Prince Nayef is responsible for the security tasks of his team, he made an exception to be allowed to enter.

As soon as he entered the hall, he noticed Jiang Chen, who was very piercing, at first glance, and at the same time, the murderous aura on his body made him feel jealous. This is definitely a dangerous guy, and although he doesn't have any burly muscles, Bruce's instincts give rise to a very ridiculous idea. If you fight in close combat, you have an 80% chance of losing.

If Jiang Chen heard his question, he was afraid that he would tell him with a smile that it was not eighty percent but ten percent. No matter how powerful his fighting skills are, Jiang Chen's strength and reaction speed can crush him, and he has no need to fight at all

However, when he found out that Jiang Chen was just wandering between the foods, he couldn't help but start to doubt his judgment.

Perhaps, he was just a colleague who happened to be on vacation?

In order to find out the truth of this eccentric person, after exchanging opinions with his own team, Bruce stepped forward to talk to him.

"That's naturally the best, have a nice dinner. Bruce smiled slightly and raised his glass to Jiang Chen.

Bruce, who had confirmed Jiang Chen's situation, did not leave immediately, but chatted with Jiang Chen without a match. Jiang Chen was idle, not to mention that he was also a little curious about what kind of life these mercenaries who were legal abroad lived, so he was also happy to chat with Bruce.

"That time in Ukraine, we escorted a senior government officer to the front line, and encountered an ambush on the way," Bruce, who was too drunk, became more and more excited, "I suspect it was Maozi, their fire was very fierce, and in the end we had to hold a building, until the government tanks drove over, and the danger was lifted"

Because it's not a secret, Bruce doesn't hide too much. From Bruce's words, Jiang Chen roughly understood that they were security personnel affiliated with Blackwater International, and they were mainly responsible for foreign business, which was the so-called mercenary. This Bruce is also a veteran of many battles, who was active in the Iraqi battlefield before retiring from the army, and joined Blackwater after the war.

"Since it's a casual chat, Mr. Jiang Chen, you can also talk about yourself, I'm curious. With my salary, I can't afford to live in a luxury beach house for thousands of dollars a day. Bruce said with some curiosity.

"The money you earn is for enjoyment, why don't you keep it to buy a coffin?" Jiang Chen replied with a smile, and at the same time he had already begun to break down the third steak.

"It's presumptuous, if it's a business that is inconvenient to disclose, Mr. Jiang Chen doesn't need to say it. Bruce shoved a piece of chicken into his mouth with a fork, and his movements were not at all like a rough man licking blood with a knife.

"There's nothing inconvenient about it, it's simply a gold-related business. Jiang Chen took a sip of red wine and said with a slightly mysterious expression.

"Oh, working in that part of South Africa? That's a good place. Bloom smiled.

"No, it's in Asia. Jiang Chen shook his head, which made Bruce feel a little surprised.

"IMHO, I don't seem to have the impression that Asia is much of a hot spot, is there a deal to do?" asked Bruce, frowning slightly.

"Not necessarily, there is a lot of business on the border, and we usually settle in gold. Jiang Chen said casually.

Bruce smiled and said no more.

There are many things that are inconvenient to say, especially in his capacity. There are only two things to think of at the border, one is arms and the other is drugs. Whatever it is, it's not something to talk about in such a big way. Therefore, this kind of dinner usually has a lounge, which is used for further consultation with the agreed merchants.

There are some South American drug lords, illegal arms dealers and the like, and there are also some FBI agents who are looking around, and it is not very polite to inquire in too much detail in public.

The dinner went on safely to the end, and after the prince's romantic birthday speech to the princess, the rich and famous began to leave the venue gradually, and Jiang Chen was ready to leave with the flow of people. Bruce handed Jiang Chen his business card, and then said goodbye to Jiang Chen.

The reason why I talked to him for so long was that the main purpose was to monitor, and now that the dinner was over, he naturally had no need to continue to stay here.

Holding the business card and looking at it, Jiang Chen casually put it in his purse.

It is unlikely that there will be an intersection in the future, after all, Jiang Chen doesn't plan to make any big moves here, but in line with the principle of one more friend and many roads, Jiang Chen still put away his business card.
