Regarding the plot issues that many people are concerned about, I have already explained them in a single chapter. ）

In fact, Li Jie will not have too many opportunities to be idle, even if he is not in a hurry to get in touch with these bigwigs, there will be acquaintances to say hello. The first to come was Bill Blasio, the mayor of New York City, who was considered a high-ranking and powerful city, but who seemed less weighty at a banquet like today's. Because most of the people present are giant-level tycoons, there is no shortage of princes and princesses from various countries, businessmen and dignitaries, celebrities and celebrities.

"Bruce, meet again, thank you for your sponsorship of Fashion Week." Blasio still has his signature hearty smile, which makes people can't help but feel close, and I have to admire these American politicians, no matter how sincere they are, they can always seem so enthusiastic.

"Good evening, Bill. Allow me to introduce you to Claudia Wang from China, a very good actress and a good friend of mine, who was invited to Fashion Week. This is her assistant, Miss Xu Lu. Li Jie responded equally enthusiastically and introduced Wang Likun and Xu Lu to him.

"Two beautiful ladies, I hope New York doesn't make a bad impression on you." Blasio let out a voice of admiration and kissed the back of their hands politely.

"New York is a very beautiful, vibrant city, Mr. Mayor." Li Jie had already introduced him before he came over, and Wang Likun also responded kindly, she was not polite, for a wealthy tourist traveler, New York will of course show a glorious side.

Without a few words of conversation, de Blasio apologized and walked away, as half a master, he would obviously be very busy. The mayor was also the host of the dinner, and the organizers invited to speak as a representative was Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates.

Since 2006, the world's richest man has gradually faded out of Microsoft's daily affairs, and at the same time began to focus on health, education, and philanthropy, and his Gates Charitable Foundation, which he and his wife Melinda co-named, has more than $70 billion in funds after receiving donations from another super-rich man, Warren Buffett, and is also one of the main patrons of the National Cancer Charity Foundation.

Bill Gates' speech was brief, but was interrupted several times by applause.

Then there was the charity auction, which the big names in the room had obviously experienced many times, and the scene was not very enthusiastic - it just meant that there was no noise, but the price was not ambiguous at all, and a few baseball tickets, concert tickets, or very ordinary jewelry were auctioned for one high price after another. The bigwigs quietly held up their cards and took pictures of the lots that were of little value to them in turn.

Li Jie also duly auctioned a ticket for a game that he could barely name for $170,000.

Although everyone seems to be very low-key, there is no sense of publicity at all. Li Jie understands very well that a large part of this is just a form of so-called charity auction. They auction off expensive luxury goods in order to show off in front of friends and lovers in another way, in order to better avoid taxes.

How many of them came genuinely and purely for charitable purposes, and he silently watched the crowd present.

In the interval between the auction, Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson (Jennifer Hudson) took the stage to sing, and with her excellent voice, the atmosphere of the audience finally became enthusiastic.

A group of old and inactive powerful people, Li Jie thought.

There were very few people as young as him in the audience, basically at least celebrities over forty years old, but he obviously ignored one point when he came to this conclusion, and the combined age of everyone present could not compare to his real age.

At this time, an old man walked towards Li Jie's table with the support of his entourage, and on the way he passed, the bigwigs, including Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke, Apple CEO Cook and others, took the initiative to greet him, which shows his honorable status.

"Hello, Mr. Li, thank you for accepting my invitation to attend today's charity dinner." The old man apparently invited him to Rowell Lockheed, a director of Citigroup and chairman of the board of directors of Lockheed Martin.

"It's an honor for me, Mr. Lockheed, and especially to be able to do a little bit for people who are suffering from cancer."

Although the other party was neatly dressed, his hair was meticulously combed, and he looked quite energetic, Li Jie smelled a hint of old age, illness and twilight.

"You are too modest, Mr. Lee. In fact, you've done much more than that, right? Lowell Lockheed's somewhat cloudy eyes were fixed on Li Jie, and there was a faint glint in his eyes, and he said as if he was pointed.

"I don't think I can afford that kind of praise anyway, especially in front of a gentleman like you, whose contribution to the Cancer Foundation is admirable." Li Jie was unmoved and smiled slightly.

Lowell Lockheed also looked at Li Jie with a smile, and after a moment, he suddenly said, "After the dinner is over, I don't know if you have time to talk to me, Mr. Li." ”

"As you wish, Mr. Lockheed." After receiving the invitation, Li Jie did some homework, and now he has somewhat guessed the other party's possible intentions. Let's just see what this old man wants to say, at least the initiative is still in his own hands.

"Thank you, there aren't many young people like you anymore." Lowell Lockheed seemed to be a little nagging, as if muttering to himself, and turned his head and smiled at Wang Likun and Xu Lu gently. "Excuse me, young ladies."

Looking at his trembling figure walking away, Li Jie was thoughtful.

"Is this gentleman of high status?" Although Wang Likun didn't know Lowell Lockheed, when he saw the attitude of these powerful people towards him, he immediately realized that the status of the other party was absolutely extraordinary.

"Director of Citigroup, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Lockheed Martin, Honorary Director of the National Foundation for Cancer Research, but it has nothing to do with us, go and say hello to the others." Li Jie got up and took Wang Likun to the location of Steven Spielberg, a well-known director.

"What a heart-wrenching old man, who still insists on doing charity at such an old age."

Lowell Lockheed is old, powerful and dignified, but he is still humble and polite, and his polite and gentlemanly speech and demeanor obviously impressed Wang Likun.

"What you see is often not necessarily the truth." Li Jie's footsteps did not stop at all, and threw out a sentence that made Wang Likun think deeply.

The dinner time is not too long, in addition to the charity auction, many people, including Li Jie, also donated checks of varying amounts, such a charity dinner is a must-have, so those who are shy in their pockets are definitely reluctant to participate. But the bigwigs didn't care, and left the table after giving generously.

Li Jie, Wang Likun and others also pinched the time to step out of the hotel, Li Si was still in high spirits and chatting with Wang Likun, obviously gaining a lot.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, if you have the opportunity to go to China, you must let us do our best to be a landlord." Wang Likun said with a hint of gratitude.

"I must remind you that I am also Chinese, and it is not certain who is the landlord?" Li Jie joked.

He then turned his head and saw that Lowell Lockheed also appeared at the door, and the old man walked slowly to Wang Likun on crutches: "Beautiful lady, I'm afraid it will take up some time for your male partner, please understand." ”

Wang Likun's face flushed, and she hurriedly replied that she didn't mind.

"I'll ask the driver to take you back, then, Miss Wang, see you next time." Li Jie sent a few people into the car and said goodbye politely.

Leaning against the car window, looking at Li Jie's tall figure walking towards Rowell Lockheed, Wang Likun's mind was a little confused, and suddenly remembered Li Jie's strange expression when he said the previous sentence, and shook his head with a hint of puzzlement, what a mysterious man.

"What do you think? Today, at least I left some impressions in front of these big directors and big bosses, and this is all an opportunity! "Maybe most people will just forget about it, but there will always be some time, opportunities will come inadvertently, and Li Si has always been a person who is very good at seizing opportunities.

"It's complicated to think about the world of big people."

Wang Likun replied in a slightly self-deprecating tone, all the people she came into contact with tonight were real powerful dignitaries, and even for her, most of them were unattainable heights. But her mentality is very good, and she immediately adjusted
