Chapter 22: Celebrities Gather
The two of them laughed under their breath, and then they had time to look at the mansion in front of them, the beautiful layout and simple but exquisite details seemed extremely pleasing to the eye, full of modernity and fashion, and the eyes were all well-dressed celebrities.
"Maria? Kylie, Beyoncé, oh my gosh, that's Madonna! Nastia was speechless and exclaimed.
"That's real estate mogul Peter? Peter M. Brandt Brant)。 Alexandra was clearly not the subject of her attention, and she looked at an old man in a gray flannel double-breasted button-down suit, and then turned her gaze to the other side. Time Warner shareholder Carl? Iken, real estate tycoon Donald? Trump ...... "There are a lot of big people here, and it seems that Bruce Lee has more energy than he thought."
"If you say that...... "Alexandra suddenly thought of something that lit up in the Donald? After searching around Trump for a long time, he soon found his target - a blonde beauty in a white dress with slanted shoulders. Compared with this swaggering real estate tycoon, his daughter is more widely known: Ivanka, the world's supermodel, vice president of the Trump Organization, and the owner of several self-created brands? Trump.
"Ivanka!" The supermodel, who was born with a golden key, had several encounters with them, or at least friends, and Alexandra pulled Nastia over to join them in the conversation. Although she seems to be reckless, she seems to behave appropriately in front of outsiders, and she cleverly starts with fashion topics, but she is not cramped at all.
At this time, the organizers of the party began to beckon everyone to ascend to the hanging garden on the top floor, and they also walked up with the group, only to see a delicate stage appear at the back of the garden, and Archibald stood on it as the host: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's party." Next, I will invite an outstanding young man to give you a speech, including the genius scientist, the developer of 'Mighty', and the owner of 'Top of the Daylight', Bruce? Plum! ”
There was a lively round of applause, and at the same time there were bursts of whispers, and this introduction seemed a little arrogant, many people thought.
By this time, it was completely dark, the night was falling, and the lights of the entire sky garden had been turned on, illuminating the stage as if it were day. Li Jie wore a close-fitting white suit and walked on the stage with champagne, which was a somewhat alternative color because of his young identity and handsome appearance, but it was just right and not exaggerated.
"Flattered, thank you for this gentleman's introduction, please remember to ask me to write a check (referring to spending money to ask him to say good things)." His slightly self-defeating statement immediately caused a burst of laughter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, friends, I beg your pardon for keeping you waiting, for I am a little afraid of heights, and it will feel better when it gets dark and I can't see clearly." After a pause, Li Jie gently stroked his forehead, shook off the invisible cold sweat, and provoked bursts of chuckles.
He understands that in the United States, the subtle reactions between races are nominally non-existent, but in reality they are ubiquitous, permeating the streets and alleys, transcending time and space. Li Jie's own experience is the best interpretation, although there are objective reasons for lack of familiarity with the United States, with his far above-average results, it would never have been so difficult to find a job. It boils down to one reason: he's a yellow Asian, or more so a non-American yellow whose visa is about to expire.
In a sense, the arrival of Master Mephisto changed Li Jie's fate, although he himself could not see it. The Demon Sovereign's unique temperament and Li Jie's own extraordinary appearance have produced a wonderful chemical reaction, so that there is now a Bruce who is full of mysterious temperament? Plum. At the same time, Li Kit's current wealth has further allowed him to transcend this gap. But if you want to truly fit into the upper class, this is not enough.
Just like when a male lion hunts on the grassland, he must first bow down, hide in the grass, slowly approach the prey, and then show his vigorous posture and sharp claws at the critical moment to kill with one blow.
The dignitaries and ladies present were obviously very happy with such witticisms, and the previous unhappiness had long since disappeared with a few laughs. Li Jie just began to speak, nothing more than some words of humility and gratitude, which not only showed himself without a trace but also captured the favor of most of the guests, coupled with his extremely young and handsome face and unique style, it was very eye-catching.
"As we all know, I am of Chinese descent, and there is an old saying among Chinese people: it is a pleasure to have friends from afar. What I like the most is to make more friends, and welcome every sincere friend. Have fun, and if you need anything, please find our good friend Archibald. In the end, Li Jie raised his glass freely to make a small conclusion, and also praised Archibald by the way, which made him a little flattered. Although today's guests are all invited by Citigroup, it doesn't mean that these rich celebrities will take him as the deputy head of the private account department in their eyes - yes, because he has successfully won over Li Jie, a big client, his position has been slightly improved.
After the speech, it was time for the reception and the people to communicate freely. Of course, there are also specially invited orchestras and star singers to sing on the stage, which will never make the atmosphere seem monotonous.
"Mr. Li doesn't seem particularly excited." Archibald asked softly as he stood aside.
"Excitement doesn't make people succeed, not to mention that there aren't many real top elites tonight." Li Jie took a sip of champagne from his glass.
"I'm sorry...... Mr. Li ...... "Archibald was a little frightened, and just wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Li Jie.
"You're doing a great job, Archie. I'm not blaming you, or what's upset about Citibank. Li Jie smiled lightly, without the slightest hint of anger. To be honest, it was a bit surprising that Citi was able to invite so many celebrities to come, after all, the foundation and status are still very shallow, maybe many people only regard themselves as nouveau riche, and it is normal for those real top elites not to show up. "Besides, we are not without gains, keep up the good work, Archie, you are doing a good job." He patted Archibald on the shoulder, soothed him, and walked over to him with a smile.
"Mr. Lee, may I introduce you to Bill? Bill?de? Mr. Blasio. "In front of him, Jessica? Pearson smiled and stood beside a tall, middle-aged white man and greeted Grade Lee.
