(The plot always has to be rolled out slowly, and the story has just begun.) If you compare a book to a big meal, then at best it is a cold dish, and the hot dish has not yet been served, so don't worry. As is customary, it is also necessary to be cheeky to ask for recommendations and collections, thank you for your support! ）

Normally, in the United States, on occasions like this, everyone brings a female companion – except for those like Cai Chengping who come to hunt. Li Jie really doesn't have many familiar people in Los Angeles, and Rachel, who is closest to him, has been busy auditioning and filming recently, and is even busier than him. On the contrary, it was Gal Gadot, Israel's national treasure, who happily agreed as soon as she received the call.

Cai Chengping came with bodyguards, four men in suits with big shoulders and round waists, all of them are professional bodyguards with very good quality, and there is a faint smell of blood, which also verifies Li Jie's guess about his extraordinary background. But these bodyguards of his were obviously inferior to Gus, and these well-trained strong men felt quite keen, and as soon as Gus appeared, they unnaturally made defensive and vigilant postures, and one by one they were so nervous that they were facing the enemy. It wasn't until Cai Chengping repeatedly asked and instructed that it was better, so that this guy kept muttering in Li Jie's ear, asking him what kind of bodyguard Gus background was, and he had to find a few of this level for himself.

The cocktail party was not in Chinatown, in order to take into account beauty pageants and performances, plus the scale of nearly 1,000 people, it was arranged at the Universal Studios Hilton Hotel, so Li Jie deliberately asked the driver to take a detour to pick up Gal Gadot.

When Li Jie appeared at the reception with Gail, who was wearing a silver dress, Cai Chengping, who was still a little proud, dropped his jaw again, and looked at Li Jie with envy and resentment all night. "That's Wonder Woman Gal Gadot!" This actress, who has had wonderful performances in blockbusters such as the Fast and Furious series and Batman v Superman, is now completely in the limelight, and it is estimated that in Cai Chengping's heart, Li Jie has risen from an idol to a master.

The content of the reception was very rich, and after the performance, the results of the pageant were announced. The top four are Queen Zhong Huilun, the second princess Chen Zhiyan, the third princess Ye Chaochun and the fourth princess and the most photogenic Miss Zheng Simin. In all fairness, these overseas Chinese beauties are still very beautiful, each with its own merits, and they are also the original target of Cai Chengping. But now this guy has been whispering in Li Jie's ears as long as Gail is not paying attention, asking her to introduce him to Hollywood female stars.

Li Jie was also familiar with this kid's character, and he didn't shy away from asking him directly: "Ping Shao, it's very simple to arrange for you to come into contact with these Hollywood people." But it's a real world, and in what capacity do you appear to them? The rich second generation is not a good image. ”

There are many rich second generations who immigrate to the United States, but there are still very few who can really rely on their personal assets to reach the upper class, and any place is xenophobic. For example, in the United States, racial discrimination is a serious accusation, which just shows that there is serious inequality and racial discrimination in the whole society. But when a matter is serious enough to require special laws to restrain it, it itself shows the extent of its proliferation.

"Dude is such an unreliable person, don't worry, I won't embarrass you." Cai Chengping smiled, took out a business card from the business card holder of the bag and handed it over.

Li Jie received it and looked at it, and it read "Chairman of Preh Investment Company, Director of Poly Group, and Executive Deputy Director of the Construction Department", which is not a small name. He saw the thief smile on Cai Chengping's face, and immediately understood what was going on. Poly Group is indeed a powerful enterprise in California, and its main business is real estate development and investment management, and California Edison Electric Company and IBm Computer Company are their customers.

But as far as Li Jie knows, this group is actually a Hong Kong-funded enterprise, and Cai Chengping, who has a background in China, can become a director of this group, most likely because of the shares held by the family. However, Li Jie didn't say anything, at least it shows that Cai Chengping is still very powerful behind him, and he can be regarded as having an explanation. He put the card away and nodded his head to show that he understood.

"I'll take it to heart." Li Jie likes such people, simple and direct, which often means that they know more about the exchange of values and interests. "It's all up to you, idol, and the brothers will remember you." Cai Chengping was overjoyed when he saw him nodding, and began to chat with Gale on the other side with a hippie smile again.

Gail is a very smart woman, she can see from Li Jie's attitude towards this young man that the other party is obviously very status, so she has been smiling and responding, and the two have a good chat.

After the beauty pageant is over, it is time for the official cocktail party, which is more to give the participants an opportunity to communicate. Zhuang Siyuan obviously attaches great importance to Li Jie, and as the organizer, he also deliberately pulled Li Jie to introduce several important people to him.

"Mr. Li, this is Mr. Ding Youli, the Democratic Chairman of the California House of Representatives."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Li Jie, you are an outstanding representative of our Chinese, and you have won glory for our Chinese Americans!" This is a middle-aged man who is a little blessed, and when he saw Li Jie, he was very polite and shook hands with him with a smile.

Ding Youli and the current Speaker of the California House of Representatives, John Bivitz, are both Berkeley graduates and can be regarded as the backbone of Chinese-American politicians. In the information given by Citi, these figures with Chinese backgrounds are mentioned. Although they may not all be high-powered, they still have some weight, which is why Li Jie finally decided to contact the Chinese Chamber of Commerce - for the sake of expanding his network. Even if you don't join the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the end, I believe that you can cooperate in other ways.

"Hello, Ms. Wang." Wang Zhaohua, vice chairman of the California Democratic Party, is also the highest-ranking Chinese American woman in the California Democratic Party.

Li Kit's conversation with these people, although hasty, clearly impressed them, and they were also very polite to this extremely young super-rich man. Today's harvest is not bad, and these inextricable connections will be an important help for him in California.

"You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?" Li Jie ended the lengthy pleasantries and conversations and sat back in his seat.

"It's okay, it's just that it's full of people I don't know, and it's too tiring to deal with them." Gail gave him a charming look, and even with Gus and others blocking her, the enthusiastic fans' request for a group photo still made her very tired to deal with. Fortunately, most people will respect their own identity, but they will not have any excessive requirements.

"Where's William?" Li Jie didn't see Cai Chengping, and after glancing around, he saw that he was chatting with a woman not far away, as if he was one of the top four Miss Chinatown, called Zheng Simin.

"Your friends are funny." Gail covered his mouth and laughed. "How can you compensate me for leaving me here for so long?"

"You'll know." Li Jie was about to kiss her, but when he got closer, he suddenly stopped again, and finally just said a few words in her ear.

Gal Gadot was obviously aware of his move and smiled slightly: "There are a lot of people here, do you want to make headlines?" With her and Li Jie's identity and popularity, she was photographed kissing in public, and the next day it will definitely be hot news in major media.

"When am I not in the headlines?" Li Jie raised his eyebrows in surprise, and his arrogant appearance caused Gale to laugh coquettishly.

He then glanced out of the corner of his eye not far away, and a smile appeared on his face, where there was a figure who turned around in a hurry.

The World Journal is a comprehensive online newspaper that is distributed free of charge to more than 200 countries and regions around the world, mainly for overseas Chinese, and of course they will send people to report on such events as the celebration of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles.

At this time, daily reporter Zhu Kehua hurriedly walked out of the front door, smiling from ear to ear with the camera in his hand. was originally just an ordinary report, but I didn't expect to photograph "Wonder Woman" Gal Gadot appearing at the celebration reception. How could she, an Israeli actor, come to the celebration of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce if she has nothing to do, it must be because of the man next to her.

Zhu Kehua felt that this young Chinese man who was very close to Gal Gadot was very familiar, although he couldn't remember who it was for a while, but his intuition told him that it was big news!

"Editor-in-chief, I have a hot news, leave me tomorrow's headlines, and I'll be back soon!"
