Chapter 1076: Playing Tennis?
The Walton family's dinner, which is still quite face-saving among the top families in the United States, although they get together three times a year, which makes those top families a little speechless, but as long as they gather, it is inevitable to send someone over.

And the Walton family is notoriously low-key, it doesn't matter if those bigwigs come or not, they can come over with a word, face or something, they don't value it too much, but even so, the Walton family's dinner is also a party in the whole of the United States, and even the entire Western world, where everyone wants to drill into it with their heads sharpened.
But as I said just now, the Walton family is very low-key, so unless it is a guest invited by a family member, no one else, a person with a relationship, cannot enter.
Americans, or more precisely, Westerners, love to party because it's a way to connect with each other.
Such a party, in addition to kneeling and licking the Walton family, is also an opportunity for them to connect with each other and find partners, and even some stars, whether they are in the entertainment industry or in the cultural and sports circles, they will find opportunities to come.
After all, there won't be too many opportunities to have a relationship with such a rich man.
Since they are here to make friends, then they can't pinch the time to come, just come to the dinner party for an hour or two, and then leave, so that they will know a fart person, so there will be a lot of people, who will come very early.
Generally speaking, the lower the status, the more people want to know more people, the sooner they will come.
Of course, it doesn't mean that you will come in the morning, but after eating at noon, people will come at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
It is not the first time that the Walton family has held such a banquet, so naturally they have been prepared for a long time, in addition to the main banquet, there are also several auxiliary banquet halls, which are also filled with dried fruits, cold dishes, etc., just to give these people a place to stay.
Just as the old people in China celebrate their birthdays, the children will go to greet them, since it is a banquet, it is natural that someone needs to greet them, and the person who greeted them is the third generation of the Walton family, and everyone else will go except for Hope.
After all, Hope is a congressman, he is going to go through the official path, so he will not go to entertain others for such a job, and he did not even come today, this is also to avoid suspicion, you know, the United States is also considered to be a high-paid pension, and the crime of corruption or something is heavy, but it really has to sit through the prison, so people who are engaged in politics must not be caught by others in any way.
Even when you want to donate money to politics, you have to do it quietly, how can anyone dare to come with great fanfare? Not to mention such an occasion.
In such a situation, basically every year, the people who come to greet these guests are Jim Walton's eldest son, Cooper Walton, with a group of younger siblings, here to greet the guests who come from outside.
In the past, Pura Walton naturally wanted to go, but since last year, she doesn't have to go, who calls her amazing, such a family, whoever makes more money, who is powerful, but she can't pinch the time to pass, and she still has to be called earlier, so after lunch at noon, Pura Walton took Jiang Hai to the room for a few more hours, and at about four o'clock in the afternoon, she changed into an evening dress and went downstairs with Jiang Hai in a suit, and went to one of the rooms, You don't have to entertain you, but you have to show your face.
"Just wait here for a while, and then I'll go and meet with these people, and I'll come back to you." After coming to the room, Pra Walton looked at Jiang Hai and said with a smile, Jiang Hai also knew that although the entertainment of Americans and Chinese people is different, but she is the master, and she has to ask whether the food is good, what other needs and so on, whether it is Huaxia or the United States, it is inevitable, so Jiang Hai just nodded and did not say anything.
Seeing that Jiang Hai agreed, Pura Walton also walked over to some people she knew in the room, these people were only allowed to come in through the invitation letter of the Walton family, but basically everyone took care of the guests of each family.
If you don't know this person, you don't need to go up and say anything, even if you don't know each other, it doesn't matter, it's very free.
Seeing Pra Walton enter the crowd like a butterfly, Jiang Hai also found a place to sit down.
Although he ate a lot at noon, he consumed a lot, so as soon as he sat down now, he began to eat again.
Just as he was eating happily, several people came over and walked in front of Jiang Hai unconsciously.
Jiang Hai looked up and found that he knew the person who came, the guy who said that he was scolded as a hillbilly yesterday, it seemed to be called Blair or something, he didn't remember it, and he looked a little familiar with two other people, but he didn't know it.
Looking at the gazes of these people, Jiang Hai's brows furrowed, and he threw a cookie into his mouth.
"Something?" While chewing the biscuits in his mouth, Jiang Hai looked at the few people in front of him and said, that attitude was naturally not very good.
"Oh, it's nothing, just come and see you, because I don't seem to have seen you yet, Bright said he had seen you, so I asked him to take me over to see, these are my friends." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, at this time, a man he didn't know said with a smile, looking at him, Jiang Hai's eyebrows raised, what did this guy say, he was so uncomfortable? What does it mean to come and see me? Isn't it true that you are an animal? But I can't pick anything.
"Have you seen it now? I'm going to keep eating, is there a problem? Hearing this person's words, Jiang Hai shook his head, and was ready to ignore him anymore, lowering his head, ready to continue to deal with the cake in front of him.
But these people didn't come to watch Jiang Hai eat cake, seeing that Jiang Hai was going to ignore them, that person leaned forward, pressed his hand on the table where Jiang Hai was eating, and looked at him condescendingly.
"My name is Austin Walton, Pula is my sister, I heard that Mr. Jiang has a good level of sports, is he interested in activities before the dinner, even if it is to eat more for a while, is it good?" Looking at Jiang Hai, this man said with a smile, and when he heard his words, the fox friends around him all laughed.
Originally, these guys were not good people, but naturally now that they have the opportunity to ridicule Jiang Hai, they will not let it go.
Of course, these people only dare to laugh, Jiang Hai's current strength is far from what they can provoke.
As a second-generation, it's okay to bully people, but you have to know that you can't mess with the people you bully, people who can come to Walton's dinner, and have a close relationship with Pula Walton, to be honest, as long as these people are not stupid, they only dare to laugh.
"I'm sorry." The laughter here quickly attracted the attention of the audience, and at this time, Pura Walton also saw the situation over there, when she saw Jiang Hai surrounded by those people, she couldn't help but stare at her, and then said sorry to the person who was originally speaking, and then walked over directly, and without saying a word, she came to Jiang Hai's side and glared at these people angrily.
"Are you looking for death? How dare you provoke him, you don't know who he is? Touching Jiang Hai's shoulder, Pura Walton didn't say a word, and said coldly, hearing her words, the people here were a little frightened.
People in this circle, how can they not know the existence of Pra Walton, this female devil is not as easy to get along with as imagined, although she is beautiful, but this is a poisonous rose, if you dare to provoke her, it is not just as simple as rooting thorns, it will kill people, and in an instant, these people have some cowardice.
"Ahem, Sister Pula, you don't have to be so nervous, we don't have any malicious intentions, just ask Jiang Hai, if you are good at sports, if you are good at sports, we will go out and have fun, if you are not good at it, forget it...... We're also building a good relationship. Hearing Pra Walton say this, Bright here flashed, and Austin also smiled awkwardly and whispered.
"It's okay, I'm okay with sports, you can talk about what you want to play." Patted Pra Walton's hand, although Jiang Hai didn't know what these people were going to do, it was still okay to play with them, and he was a little bored anyway.
"I heard you've played basketball and you're playing at a very high level, so let's play tennis today!" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Austin's eyes lit up, and then he said with a smile.
Yes, he has already checked Jiang Hai, knows that Jiang Hai is very strong in basketball, and even went to the NBA for a tryout, if it weren't for the fact that he was really rich, maybe he would have made his NBA debut, so playing with him and playing basketball is definitely not good.
Among his friends, there is a tennis master, and he specially invited him over today.
"Tennis? Fighting with you? Okay, let's go! Hearing his words, Jiang Hai thought for a while, tennis, he has played it before, but only once, many, many years ago, at that time, there was a very popular anime, called the Prince of Tennis, after he watched the anime, he felt very interesting, so he went to their school's tennis club to play, but to be honest, there is no talent.
He just figured out the rules, that's all, but it doesn't matter now, with his physical fitness, except for billiards, which requires planning, and vigorous efforts may not work miracles, he has no problem playing other things.
"No, no, don't get me wrong, playing tennis is playing tennis, but the person who wants to play with you is not me, but him!"
