Chapter 1513: Decay Under Glory!
Xiao Yunlong glanced at the vice president of country m, and finally understood why the security here was so tight tonight, the level of security on the first floor of the banquet building, even a peerless powerhouse would not dare to break in easily, because there was a stronger person guarding it secretly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The vice president of country M is here, and the defense work must be done without leakage, otherwise the consequences of any accident will be very serious.
Xiao Yunlong was naturally not interested in this vice president at all, and his eyes looked at the uncle of Modesti next to the vice president with deep meaning.
This is the person who plotted to kill her brother and take over her brother and sister-in-law?
If you just look at the appearance, you really can't see that Charles Rockefeller is tall, his face is majestic, giving people a sense of dignified and luxurious style, he is already extremely skilled in the intersection of similar occasions, he led the vice president into the banquet hall, and the guests in the banquet hall also immediately came over.
Almost all of these guests are big names in top families, and they all know each other, so after seeing Charles and the vice president coming, these distinguished guests also greeted them one by one, and they greeted each other warmly, without feeling any restraint at all, and they were obviously old friends.
It is not difficult to understand that behind the bigwigs in the political arena of country M, there will be countless consortia to support them.
Charles's arrival means that tonight's dinner has officially begun.
Xiao Yunlong was really not interested in dealing with this kind of scene, and he came here mainly because of Modestie's invitation. The main thing is to meet with Modesti and talk about the cooperation deal with Modesty. As for the rest, Xiao Yunlong never thought much about it.
With the arrival of the big names in the field one after another, tonight's banquet has officially begun.
During the dinner, Charles, the vice president, and the other big names in the top big families naturally sat at the same table, and the remaining younger generations such as the young master of the DuPont family and the young master of the Morgan family sat together.
Xiao Yunlong, at the invitation of Modesti, also sat with these noble young masters.
The menu is naturally Western, with appetizers, soups, salads, followed by main courses and extravagant aged wines.
The dishes are extremely rich, but the people in the audience are basically superficial, no one is really for the table full of sumptuous dinner meals, these noble young masters get together, talk about the past and the present, see excellence, they are talking about the world economic pattern in the world today, talking about the accumulation and management of wealth and so on.
In their mouths, tens of billions of funds seem to be hundreds of dollars, and they come out casually, involving the operation of huge amounts of funds.
If it were some business people here, it would definitely be of great interest, after all, the potential value involved in these conversations is unimaginable, once you can make friends with these noble young masters and seek an opportunity for cooperation, you can imagine how amazing the value is.
However, for Xiao Yunlong, who was sitting in the field, he was not very interested in this, so during the whole process, he was basically eating something and ordering the best aged red wine. Barely engaged in the conversation.
This made some noble young masters feel a little strange, in their opinion, the people who could come to this banquet were basically people from the top families, and they should be very interested in how to manage their finances and how to run huge amounts of money. But Xiao Yunlong showed an attitude that everything had nothing to do with him throughout the whole process, which inevitably made these noble sons curious.
However, they didn't ask, they are all very cultured and have their own circles. They paid a little attention to Xiao Yunlong, but it was just because of Modesti's relationship.
Modesty also noticed Xiao Yunlong's situation, she always felt that Xiao Yunlong was a little unhappy in her heart to be so cold, but on such an occasion, she didn't know how to drag the topic to Xiao Yunlong's part. But just watching everyone gossip with each other, Xiao Yunlong couldn't participate, and she was still a little guilty.
Modette thought about it, and was about to lead the topic to Xiao Yunlong's participation, but she was caught off guard, but she saw Xiao Yunlong pick up a napkin and wipe the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "The dinner is very rich, I have almost eaten." You go ahead, I'll go to the bathroom first...... Uh, it seems like I've eaten a little too much, so -- hehe, you know! ”
Xiao Yunlong stood up as he spoke, and walked in the direction of the toilet in the banquet hall.
Those aristocratic young masters couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, but they didn't say anything, because they didn't intersect with each other, so naturally they wouldn't say anything.
For them, Xiao Yunlong was not present, so the conversation between them was more freewheeling and more free.
Let's say that after Xiao Yunlong left, he didn't know where the bathroom was, and after asking the waiter in the venue, the waiter at the banquet site took him there.
When he came to the bathroom, Xiao Yunlong entered the men's toilet to solve the bladder problem, then lit a cigarette in the toilet and began to smoke.
For similar banquets, he is indeed not very cold, even if there are many big people in the venue, all of them are real power figures standing at the top of the pyramid in the world, but he does not have any desire to make friends. So, after a simple meal and a little expression, he found an excuse to come to the bathroom to be clean and clean, and smoke a cigarette or something.
A cigarette was quickly finished, and Xiao Yunlong walked out, wanting to find a clean place to rest and wait for Modesty to finish his work.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out, he saw Modette standing outside the bathroom, obviously waiting for Xiao Yunlong.
"You want to go to the bathroom too?" Xiao Yunlong asked, his face was stunned.
Modette glared at Xiao Yunlong and said, "If I really come to the bathroom, what are I doing standing here?"
"Well, you're here to wait for me. Xiao Yunlong smiled, he understood what was going on, and continued, "Modestie, I said, I don't feel lonely and lonely at the banquet. So you don't have to worry about how I feel. The banquet isn't over yet, shouldn't you be there? We'll talk when you're done. ”
"Now that the banquet has begun, some major projects involved in the theme of this banquet are not something I can participate in, and my uncle is responsible for them. So, what's the point of me staying in the field, being a bright vase?" said Modesti coldly, and continued, "I know you want to find a quiet place, so go, come with me." ”
With that, Modesti took Xiao Yunlong out of the banquet hall.
This floor is connected to the other floors itself, and there is a corridor in the direction of the toilet to the right, and there is a safety escalator along the corridor.
Modesti led Xiao Yunlong up the safety escalator all the way to the fourth floor.
This floor is basically a suite for guests to rest, because the Rockefeller family often holds some major banquets, some guests who come to the banquet want to stay overnight, this floor is here.
Therefore, none of the suites on this floor are all at the level of the presidential suite, which is extremely luxurious and high-end.
Modesti opened the room in one of the suites and let Xiao Yunlong walk in.
Xiao Yunlong's face was stunned, and he couldn't help but smile, just now in the banquet hall, he could see that those noble young masters had a good impression of Modesty, and they all wanted to get closer to Modesty. However, Modesty treats them all equally, and does not mean to be too close.
However, at this moment, Modesti took Xiao Yunlong to a room to be alone, if the young master of the Dupont family or the young master of the Morgan family knew, he didn't know what he would think.
Walking into the room, Moddestian was silent for a while, at this time she was different from the radiant beauty at the banquet scene, she was still beautiful, her temperament was still detached, but the beautiful jade face was shrouded in a layer of resentment and coldness.
After a while, she said, "You have seen my uncle, have you remembered his appearance?"
Xiao Yunlong nodded and said, "His characteristics are also obvious, and it is easy to remember. To be honest, from the outside, it's hard to see that he is such a person. ”
Modesti sneered and said, "Yes, who can tell? Everyone in the family is praising him for his impartiality, for his ability to take on great responsibilities and to shoulder the responsibility of continuing to prosper and strengthen the family. After my father's death, he did an excellent job and took good care of me and my mother, which was naturally appreciated in the eyes of the family. But secretly, he was clearly the culprit of my father's murder, and he showed a hypocrisy of selfless and conscientious care to me and my mother. Even, he coveted my mother and wanted to encroach on my mother. You say, isn't such a person even a brute?"
Xiao Yunlong was silent for a moment after hearing this, there are many open and secret battles in wealthy families, and they are also very common, even top families like Rockefeller.
Even, this kind of secret fighting of the top family is even more serious.
Because once you can sit firmly on the throne of the head of the family, it means that you can mobilize all the assets of the entire family. And how much assets does a century-old top family like Rockefeller have? That is impossible to estimate!
The so-called decay under the glory refers to these families, how much darkness, strife and decay are hidden under the glorious and glamorous surface?
In Modesty's narrative, Xiao Yunlong also learned that the current head of the Rockefeller family has three sons, Modesty's father is the eldest son, followed by Charles, and Modesty has a third uncle.
After the death of Modesty's father due to an "accident", Charles took over many of the properties of the Rockefeller family, and Charles was indeed a capable person, and the property he managed was thriving, and the annual benefits for the family should be the highest.
Of course, the Rockefeller family is huge, and in addition to the head of the family, there are also many people in the side line, and these side lines also have the blood of the orthodox Rockefeller family, and there are also excellent competitors among them who want to compete for the position of the next head of the family.
But judging from the current situation, Charles's support and popularity are undoubtedly the highest.
This means that once Charles continues to do this, one day, he will be able to sit on the throne of the head of the family as he wishes.
"Demon King, I must not let my second uncle, who has a beast heart, sit on the position of the head of the family, otherwise, once he sits on the position of the head of the family, it will be the beginning of the dark apocalypse for me and my mother!"
Modette stared at Xiao Yunlong and said seriously word by word.
