The banquet was dissolved very late.

The reporters who had been waiting around Tang Bao's villa for a day found that the banquet was over and the guests had left Tang Bao's villa, so they immediately dispatched to intercept them and tried to interview them, but they all ran into a wall without exception. endured ** for a day, and there was no gain.

Of course.

The lack of any gain does not mean that these journalists will give up on the news in vain, on the contrary, they have invariably begun to hype up.

The next day.

Various media have reported on Tang Bao's banquet at a large length.

"The most mysterious banquet ever! Don, what he did at the banquet, what he talked about with the guests, the outside world knows nothing, and no one can even make a detailed list of guests...... Perhaps even the talks between heads of state do not attach as much importance to secrecy as they do. -- The Wall Street Journal.

"All the guests at the banquet were silent about the day, and what were Don and his friends secretly planning?" —The Boston Herald.

"It is believed that the guests at the banquet may have been involved in the recent gold futures war, and this time they will divide the spoils of war at the banquet and celebrate with champagne." -- The Times, UK.

"Don is secretly planning a big operation...... "The New York Times".

……

Scold.

Morning.

Tang Bao was eating breakfast and reading the newspaper at the same time, and he also felt a little funny when he saw that the reporters were actually enthusiastic about the big interpretation of the report on a small banquet he held. I don't know anything, but I just have such a big report and interpretation, as if I have mastered exclusive hot news, firmly grabbing the reader's eyeballs, I have to admit that these professional reporters are really not ordinary.

"Boss, these reports are clearly apocryphal, what is there to see?" Kate saw that Tang Bao read it with relish. Wondered.

"Ha, just read the story and exercise divergent thinking." Tang Bao said with a smile. Anyway, for the next period of time, he has nothing to do, very leisurely.

"Uh."

Kate was speechless at Tang Bao's bad taste.

……

Even when various media were hyping the "mysterious Tang Bao Banquet", they did not give up trying to find out the news from the mouths of the guests attending the banquet. The reporters couldn't find a complete list of guests attending the banquet, but they didn't know anything about it...... For example, Horst, Mrs. Annette, Wagner, Andya, etc., are all well-known to the outside world, and they will definitely participate in the existence of banquets.

"Mr. Wagner, there's a New York Times reporter at the front desk who wants to interview you......"

"Not available." Wagner is tough. "By the way, whenever a reporter asks me to interview, all of them will be refused."

"I'm too busy to have time for an interview with you, so please come back." After speaking, Horst motioned to the secretary to rush people.

"It's just a normal gathering of friends, everyone drinks, chats, plays cards, and there's nothing to talk about." Mrs. Annette replied.

……

……

New York University, inside the café.

"Hi, Léa. Here......" The black long-haired girl saw Leia appear, a smile suddenly bloomed on her face, and she hurriedly stood up and waved to her, whispering.

Léa trotted and rushed. Pull out a chair and sit down.

"Why didn't you come back last night, I was worried to death." As she spoke, the long-haired black girl pushed the coffee to Lhea's side.

"Hmm."

Taking a sip of coffee, Leia explained helplessly. "It was past nine o'clock at the end of the banquet, and my grandfather and I left even later. Today, grandpa has to get up early to catch a plane...... Just stayed in a hotel not far from the airport. Grandpa loved me so much, so late. I can't leave him alone and come back by myself. ”

"Okay, good, I know that your grandfather and grandson have a deep relationship." The black-haired girl had to reluctantly agree, and then, leaning down to Leia, asked in a low voice, "Tell me what happened at the banquet...... There are no less than ten versions of speculation circulating outside, but none of them are reliable. ”

Banquet......

Recalling everything that happened yesterday, Leia was also confused, "Schleiqi, I...... Don's banquet was really very ordinary, even more boring than a normal business dinner, there was nothing to say at all. ”

"Oh God! Léa, how can you reply like those who attended the banquet, we are the closest friends, how can you be so perfunctory to me? Please, Léa, you know, I really need this news. Naturally, Schleich didn't believe Leia's answer.

"Whew. I didn't lie to you, Schleige. You also know that I have no interest in attending this party, and if you hadn't begged me to help you get to the news, how could I have asked my grandfather to take me there? Even dressed so sexy, dangling in front of the guy. Leia said angrily and helplessly.

Forehead.

Schlaiqi was speechless, Leia was right, she had no interest in the banquet at all, and she went because she was helping her gather news materials.

Léa didn't hide her reasons.

But.

Schlaiqi is still very unwilling, because with the secret weapon of Leia, she swore that she could get the news from the news editor-in-chief to get the news of Don's banquet, but now she is going back with some trivial things about eating and drinking, what will the editor-in-chief think of her.

"Léa, dear, baby...... If you think about it, maybe you're missing something important. Schleich said hurriedly.

Leia frowned, she carefully recalled yesterday's situation, "There should be no omission." Of course, I couldn't follow Don the whole time, and I definitely didn't know what he was talking to the guests in private. ”

on this.

Shi Laiqi also felt reasonable, and he didn't expect it, after all, Leia and Tang Bao were not very familiar, how could they find out the content of the private conversation.

"Guest, yes, why didn't I think of that...... Léa, you should know who attended Don's private banquet yesterday, right? Schleiki suddenly had an idea and found the entry point of the news. Nowadays, in addition to being interested in what happened at the banquet, the outside world is interested in who attended the banquet.

Just right.

Leia attended the banquet, so she naturally knew who went.

"Oh, by the way, Don invited your grandfather to a banquet, so there must be other government officials or councilors. Leia, who ......? ”

"Shreich, you're crazy. That's my grandfather, and you are undoubtedly ruining him by exposing this news. Lhea exclaimed.

"Don't be nervous, I didn't say I was going to expose Mr. Hinton, I just wanted to know the list of other officials and parliamentarians who attended the banquet." Schleich reassured.

"Whew."

Leia suppressed her excitement and said, "Yes, I know which current government officials and councilors attended the banquet, but I won't tell you, this matter has a big impact. A little poor control can cause a huge storm. You can get in trouble too! ”

"Don't, Léa, trust me—I can handle the trouble." Schleich said urgently.

"No discussion. Shreich, the powerful energy of those people will be beyond your imagination...... Even if you get the list, it's not certain whether your newspaper will be exposed or hidden. Leia persuaded her that her family background exposed her to more secrets, and that there is a premise for press freedom in the United States, that is, it must not touch the interests of interest groups. Otherwise, it will be controlled.

In fact, a lot of truth and darkness are hidden.

"Well, don't mess with those politicians. Perhaps you've seen some obscure journalists and newspapers who have made a name for themselves by exposing major scandals. I think they're brave and think that they can take the opportunity to be that kind of person. But what I'm telling you is, don't dream! Few of those are private and spontaneous, and the hidden power is the key to their success. To put it mildly, to put it bluntly. It was the result of a struggle that got out of control, dog-eat-dog, recklessly revealing each other's scars......" Leia said. "Well, Milken and a Saudi prince attended the banquet."

Milken. Saudi Prince ......

Schlaiqi's eyes lit up. "Leia, any other news?" After being preached by Léa, she gave up provoking politicians.

Other?

Leia's mind suddenly appeared with the mysterious "big project" that Tang Bao talked about, and she had the heart to reveal it to her friends, but Hinton and Tang Bao's serious warnings were still in her ears, and she suddenly fell into hesitation.

Leia's expression of wanting to speak did not escape Schlaiqi's eyes, and Schlaiqi immediately realized that Leia might still know some secrets. But he didn't break it directly, but knocked on the side and said: "Leia, please, think about it again, what other news is there." ”

Seeing Schleige's pleading.

Leia's inner struggle is even stronger, is it to hide it, or to expose it despite her grandfather's warning? She felt like a dilemma, and it was painful.

"Léa ......"

"Hmm, okay." Leia couldn't resist Schleiqi's onslaught, and said, "Don may be brewing a big operation, and he raised a lot of money at the banquet. ”

"What kind of big project?" Schleich asked.

"Heh......" Leia smiled wryly and shook her head helplessly, "I don't know the specifics, Don is very important about secrecy, and he didn't even explain it to his close friends." Besides, do you think Don would talk about big plans in front of someone who has only met twice? ”

Well.

Schleiki nodded silently.

……

Meanwhile.

Inside the office of Fortune Magazine. After the banquet, Angela hurriedly contacted the editor-in-chief, greeted him in advance, and asked the editor-in-chief to reserve sufficient space in advance. The editor-in-chief readily agreed when he learned that Angela had reserved the space for publishing Tang Bao's interview.

"Hasn't Angela come back yet?" The editor-in-chief asked, and learned that Angela had an exclusive interview with Tang Bao, so he was naturally very concerned about it.

"Nope. She said it might take the afternoon to get back, and she had to calm down and sort out the manuscript. An editor replied, wondering why the editor-in-chief suddenly paid so much attention to Angela's movements.

"Hmm. When she comes back, just ask her to come to my office! The editor-in-chief commanded.

"Okay."

……

Time flies.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Angela rushed back to the office and greeted her colleagues cordially.

"Hey, Angela, the head has commanded you to hurry to his office. Seems to be in a hurry......" an editor said to Angela.

Hear the words.

Angela smiled and replied, "I see." Then, he went straight to the editor-in-chief's office.

Knock knock knock......

"Please come in."

Forthwith.

Angela walked into the editor-in-chief's office, took out the manuscript that had just been sorted out, handed it over, and said, "Editor-in-chief, this is an exclusive interview with Tang, please take a look." ”

"Well, that's good." The editor-in-chief took the manuscript and skimmed through it and praised it. "Angela, you asked the newspaper for leave just to do this interview. Why don't you just mention it to the newspaper? ”

"Well, editor-in-chief, you also know how difficult it is for reporters to interview Tang, and I am not at all sure." Angela replied helplessly.

"That's right. So how do you do it? ”

"My cousin is very familiar with Tang, so I followed her to Tang's banquet." Angela explained with a smile and didn't go into any further detail.

"Oh?" The editor-in-chief's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Then you have to cherish this relationship line." ”

Hear the words.

Angela smiled, didn't say much, and turned to leave the editor-in-chief's office.

……

There are a lot of media hyping Tang Bao's banquet. But people who think a little rationally know that these so-called inside stories cannot withstand any careful scrutiny.

But.

Seeing today's "USA Today" newspaper, Tang Bao's face suddenly sank.

"Uh, boss, what's wrong?" Seeing Tang Bao's gloomy face, Kate asked suspiciously. casually picked up the newspaper that Tang Bao had just read and glanced at it.

"Don is hatching a mysterious operation code-named 'Big Project', and the main purpose of holding a private banquet is to secretly raise funds. According to reliable sources, Saudi princes, Wall Street bond magnate Milken and other wealthy people appeared at the banquet. may have invested a lot of money in Tang......" Seeing this, Kate finally understood why Tang Bao suddenly had a gloomy face. "Boss, this exposed news should have no effect on your plans."

"It didn't have a big impact, but I was not happy. Someone ignored my advice and poked the news out. Tang Bao said with a calm face.

"Unfortunately, there are so many guests who know the news that it is difficult for us to determine who leaked the news." Kate sighed.

Well.

Tang Bao nodded helplessly. Maybe the other party calculated this point before he dared to take the risk. However, in his inner circle, there is a hidden person who is not of the same heart as him. It is inevitable that he will be like a bone in his throat, and he will be uncomfortable. If he doesn't find this person, his heart will be uneasy!

Dingdingding......

Suddenly, the phone rings, breaking the dull atmosphere.

"Well, boss, it's Mr. Hinton's call." Kate is very familiar with the numbers displayed.

Well.

Tang Bao suppressed his unhappy mood, took the phone, and said, "Mr. Hinton, good morning." ”

"Hello, Don. I have something important to tell you, and I believe you should have read USA Today today. I'm sorry, Don, but this might have something to do with my granddaughter, Léa. The reporter who wrote this report happened to be a friend of Leia's, and I wondered why Leia offered to join me at the banquet, but when I saw today's newspaper, I finally understood. Hinton took the initiative to explain everything.

"Miss Leia...... you?" Tang Bao was surprised.

"It should be, although I haven't confirmed it yet. Don, I'm really sorry. Hinton apologized again.

"Oh, it's all right, Mr. Hinton. In fact, these revelations had no impact on my plans. Of course, I also hope that this will not happen again. ”

Just now, I was still upset because of this, thinking about how to find the "murderer", but I didn't expect to get the answer so quickly, and I was relieved to learn that it was Leia and not his inner circle, which also made Tang Bao breathe a sigh of relief.

"Boss, is it Miss Léa?"

"Hmm."

Tang Bao smiled and nodded, and sighed, "It's also my own fault, Hinton took the initiative to drive Leia away...... Unexpectedly, the temporary intolerance and soft-heartedness almost caused a disaster. Fortunately, I didn't talk about the plan to short the Japanese stock market specifically! ”

……
