Chapter 174: Questions of Principle

The Rothschilds, the name is perhaps unfamiliar to the vast majority of ordinary people. Because in the age of mass media, people's eyes may only focus on obvious names like "Rockefeller" or "Morgan family".

But in fact, out of the eyes of all the people, this family name with a legendary sè color is the terrifying giant hand that has controlled the economic lifeblood of this planet for nearly two centuries!

Needless to say, just two examples are enough to illustrate how terrible this family is:

First...... In the nineteenth century, there were six great powers in Europe! They were the British Empire, Prussia (later Germany), Austria-Hungary, France, Russia...... And also...... The Rothschilds! And the Rothschilds also have a prominent nickname, that is, the "Sixth Reich".

Second...... In the United States before World War II in the twentieth century, there was a classic saying to describe the United States at that time: "The mΓ­nzhΗ” party belongs to the Morgan family, and the Republican Party belongs to the Rockefeller family...... in fact, this sentence should be followed by a sentence "And Rockefeller and Morgan both belong to Rothschild!" ”

The problem is that few people know the truth: at the beginning, Rockefeller rose with the support of the Rothschild family, and then the Rockefeller family gradually became a little disobedient after some wings grew stiffer, and the Rothschilds picked up the Morgan family to restrain Rockefeller!! From the very beginning, these two world-famous families that are familiar to the people are actually Rothschild's spokesmen!

Rothschild, a family of almost terrible glory! But it has always been hidden in the back of this world......

And at the same time...... They are Jews too! From the founding movement of the sè column, to the support of the United States for decades...... Everything has traces of this family's involvement!

If you talk about the most powerful family in the United States or the world, then it is definitely not Rockefeller or Morgan, as for the Kennedy family and the like, it is a puppet in a puppet, a side branch under a side branch.

(Author's note: Regarding the background of the Rothschild family, I won't say much here, lest someone say that I make up the word count, you can check the relevant information yourself, and I will also post something on the public version of this book.) )

Although I am not sure whether the young man in front of me is from the Rothschild family, at least in front of such a man who seems to be full of family style, it is absolutely necessary to maintain a little respect!

And two minutes later, my guess was answered!

"Oh, Martin, you're really kidding...... But you spend money much faster than you can make money. This is a casual joke by Li Wenjing.

That Martin smiled faintly: "Yes, in fact, I'm afraid I'm afraid that the 'Rothschild' with the biggest difference in the family's ability to make money and the speed of spending money." You see, in order to run this club. For the past year, I've been pouring money into it. ”

My heart moved! Sure enough, he was indeed a member of the Rothschilds!

This name, which is still very unfamiliar to the public, is actually famous in the upper circles! It's just that they, who control the media, have wisely chosen not to expose themselves to any media!

The party was soon underway. Some of the most beautiful top supermodels in Hollywood who have been specially invited, many of whom are fashion darlings around the world who often appear on the covers of fashion magazines, as well as some Hollywood female stars, plus some celebrities who like to party life...... These are the parties George Clooney is throwing tonight.

In fact, with George Clooney's career, he is not a first-line superstar, but he is a natural social master, a party organization expert.

Obviously, tonight in this place, those Hollywood bigwigs have become the focus of celebrity beauty and supermodeling, and within half an hour, I saw George walking up to me with a beautiful woman on the shoulder. He still had a cigar in his hand, and when he saw that I was still alone, he couldn't help frowning, and then smiled: "Hey, dear Chen, what's wrong with you tonight?" I've never seen you so lonely...... Oh, let me think, why wasn't Jessica with you tonight? Well...... By the way, and the beautiful Miss Yang next to you? ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

George's last sentence made me and Li Wenjing, who was sitting not far away, change their faces slightly at the same time. George said a few more words, and then suddenly slapped his head, as if remembering something, and left with two beautiful women in his arms, and then saw him direct someone to move out an old-fashioned record player, play a classic music popular in Hollywood in the twenties and thirties of the last century, and the leader pulled the two beauties and began to dance in the open space in the middle of the hall.

With this person taking the lead, many handsome guys and beauties next to him also cheered on the stage to reminisce about the classic dance steps of Hollywood in the last world.

And sitting on the sofa around me, it seems that there are only three people left: me, Li Wenjing, and Martin.

Li Wenjing and I were both a little embarrassed, especially when George mentioned Yang Wei just now. Martin looked at us with a smile, but then he said, "Well, my two gentlemen, you're dull enough tonight, and if you continue like this, you'll be disappointed by the girls around you." Especially you, Chen, do you know how many girls have been secretly looking at you in the past few minutes? ”

At this time, a man dressed as a waiter came over and whispered a few words in Martin's ear, Martin nodded and smiled apologetically at us: "Excuse me." ”

As he left, the atmosphere between me and Li Wenjing suddenly became awkward.

The two of us sat for a while, and couldn't help but hold the wine glass in front of us at the same time, and then glanced at each other's actions, and then put down the wine glass at the same time...... Such an embarrassing move. In the end, it made both of us laugh at the same time.

Chen Yang ...... I didn't expect to meet one day in such a situation. "In the end, it is a child of the family, Li Wenjing was the first to return to normal, he shrugged his shoulders and looked at me: "Tell me." What's going on between you and Yang Wei? I think you're supposed to be with Jojo, aren't you? There was a bit of anger in his eyes, and I could see that.

Is there anything in this world that can provoke a man's anger more than the questioning of a rival in love?

I looked at him, although I felt a little unhappy, but I still made a very calm expression on my face: "I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of explaining my personal feelings to outsiders. ”

Li Wenjing, a man who has always been personable in my impression, finally showed his edge! He leaned back slightly, playing with the crystal goblet in his hand, and squinted at me at the same time: "Chen Yang, I remember that when we first met, I still had a good impression of you. But I also admit that I didn't expect that in just two or three years, you would be able to climb to where you are now...... I really didn't think about it. Even from the first time I saw Jojo with you, I knew that my first fiancΓ©e loved you. But I never thought that my second fiancΓ©e would be snatched away by you. ”

I didn't speak.

"So I've always admired you." Li Wenjing raised his chin slightly: "You are an excellent person...... And I still think so. However, I have to say, you are not suitable for Yang Wei at all. No, it should be said, you and her are not suitable. Do you see what I mean? ”

I sneered and didn't say anything.

"I'm not saying this out of boredom of jealousy." Li Wenjing suddenly sighed. There was a bit of sincerity in his voice, although it was still a little hostile: "You and she are not from the same world, and it will be difficult for you to get together in the end." And...... Yang Wei is a woman who is too smart, and the man she needs is a man who can let her show her talents to the fullest! And you, don't have that kind of strength! She's too smart and too strong. So sometimes, even though she doesn't notice it, she can't help but get used to taking a cāo control stance on everything. And you...... Chen Yang, I have studied your development trajectory in Daquan, and you are also a strong figure. You're not used to making compromises and don't like to be told the truth...... In this way, the relationship between you and Yang Wei will be difficult. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" I looked at Li Wenjing and frowned.

"What I want to say is...... What Yang Wei needs is a platform that allows her to perform to her heart's content. Li Wenjing seemed to laugh at himself, and then he raised his glass and gestured to me, I didn't want to be too ungraceful, and I simply touched the wine glass with him. Then Li Wenjing said quietly: "The family I was born in is destined to bear a responsibility for my whole life. The education and training I received from an early age were all in preparation for my family's business in the future. Even my recreational activities such as playing cards, horseback riding, tennis, music, wine tasting, etc...... These are trained for future social events. Everything revolves around the future interests of the family. This kind of life may seem beautiful to outsiders, but if you experience it yourself, you will find it really boring. ”

I took a sip of wine, and although I didn't know why Li Wenjing was telling me this, I didn't interrupt him and let him continue.

"I took one degree after another, and then I started to take over some of the family businesses, doing simple things, and these were all training processes. But for me, it's boring, even annoying. Li Wenjing shrugged his shoulders, and a complicated expression appeared on his face: "Do you know? I used to hate horseback riding. Because I was a kid and was afraid to go near any big animal. But the person in charge of training me told me that in order to continue my family's career in Europe, and to deal with the European aristocracy who loved horseback riding, I had to learn and learn this sport! And once, in order to overcome my fear of horses, they actually locked me in the stable and let me sleep with the horses all night! ”

My heart moved, looking at Li Wenjing's expression, there was no trace of falsification. I just don't understand why he's talking to me about this?

"When I met Yang Wei, we were both quite young at the time. Actually, a girl like Yang Wei is in her family. Since childhood, he has been cultivated as a pawn for the marriage of interests in the future. But Yang Wei is an outlier! Do you see what I mean? Those etiquette teachers, dance teachers, and taught her flower arrangement, art. , painting, music and so on, this girl has learned to resist since she was a child! On the contrary, she has shown a rare talent for business! Ever since I first met her, I've been thoroughly obsessed with her! You know why? Without waiting for me to speak, Li Wenjing said the answer by himself: "Because she and I were both forcibly instilled by the family to accept those arranged educations since childhood. The difference is that I didn't resist and became a product produced on the assembly line of a family...... Although I ask myself that it is much better than other products. But she's a different story! She resisted, and she succeeded!! She didn't follow the original arrangements made for her by the family, unlike other girls in the Yang family. She became a business genius and a master strategist! This is something that I admire very much! At the same time, I deeply envy her. ”

Li Wenjing squinted his eyes, as if he was reminiscing: "You know when I first met her. She asked me what my biggest interest was since I was a child, and how did I answer? I told her that I had loved rugby since I was a child. However, the kind of movement that relies on the strong collision of the body, which is almost barbaric, is not in line with the identity of people like us. So as much as I loved it, my family strictly forbade me to play that sport! In the end, I was successfully reversed. At that time, after listening to my answer, Yang Wei looked at me with an almost pitying gaze unabashedly. That kind of gaze is really exciting. Because I've always asked myself very out of the sΓ¨! I didn't think such a girl was qualified to scorn me, and I asked her the same question...... I asked her: What was your biggest interest since childhood? She replied: Playing with others! ”

Speaking of this, Li Wenjing looked at me and said with a smile: "Now, you can see, she has indeed been doing this!" It can be said that my love for her is a mixture of sameness...... But there is a kind of admiration and admiration for the success of her resistance, a kind of admiration that looks up. It is because of this feeling that I have been here for so many years. I've never been tempted by other women. Even if it's a girl like Jojo, I don't have any thoughts. ”

Speaking of this, Li Wenjing glanced at me: "And you, ruined all this." He was smiling wryly. [Heaven's Kiss Hand-hitting]

I was silent, but Li Wenjing shook his head: "I'm really annoyed with you now. But I'm not going to take revenge on you like that narrow-minded person, or curse you or anything like that. There is no point in such a thing. The only thing I want to say to you is: treat her well, at least until you break up. Otherwise, I will definitely use all my strength to get revenge on you. ”

Now I was really surprised.

Does this Li Wenjing have such an open-minded heart?

Noticing my strange expression, Li Wenjing didn't say anything, and then he stood up, as if ready to walk away. I couldn't help but stop him: "Please wait a minute. ”

He looked at me, I thought about it, and then said to him very seriously: "Li Wenjing, in fact, I have always had a good impression of you, maybe this is very hypocritical." But at least until then, I've always been grateful to you, because you've always admired me, and you've tried to help me several times - and then again, I'm glad I hadn't had your help before, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to deal with you now. What I want to say is that before I had a relationship with Yang Wei, I always thought in my heart that we could be friends. Of course, it's not possible now. I don't think we can be friends in a relationship like we have now. That would be too hypocritical. ”

Then, I stared at him: "I've talked to Yang Wei, and you know, I've been in some trouble lately. I also know that Yang Wei went to look for you, right? She tried to ask you to come and help me. I also know that you will show up in Los Angeles today to grant her request, right? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes. Li Wenzhi nodded.

"Hmph, it's really embarrassing......" I gently rubbed my temples as if laughing at myself, and then looked at Li Wenjing with a casual smile: "You and I are in love with the same woman, and the relationship has changed from friends to rivals." And in this case, I almost accepted a huge help from you...... Of course, fortunately, it was 'handicap'. ”

Li Wenjing frowned, as if he had thought of something: "You...... Are you? ”

"Yes!" I nodded, talking to smart people is to save energy, what I mean Li Wenjing should have understood. But in order to avoid trouble, I still said it very clearly!

I stood up, faced Li Wenjing, and said slowly: "I'm a person who is very principled. There are some things that I absolutely can't accept! Even in any case! So, I don't think I'm comfortable with any help from you in this relationship that we're in now...... Even a little bit. So, Li Wenjing, I want to say to you very clearly now: I don't know how Yang Wei said it to you before, and I don't know what Yang Wei asked you to do for me, and I don't know how you agreed to her...... But now, what I want to say to you in person is: I'm sorry, it's all canceled! I'm sorry to have you come to Los Angeles, but I don't really need you to do anything for me, and I'm definitely not willing to accept any help from you. I think, smart you, should be able to understand. Right? ”

Li Wenjing was stunned, he stared at me for a long time before he suddenly laughed: "You mean, you unilaterally asked to lift Yang Wei's request to me?" Can I understand it that way? ”

"That's right!" I answered him dryly.

"Chen Yang ......" Li Wenjing frowned: "Do you know how much trouble you caused this time?" The Gambino family is not easy to mess with, and you need help now. ”

"But it definitely won't come from you." I added, very firmly, rejected him.

Li Wenjing stared at me for a while: "Does Yang Wei know?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you know it or not." I said lightly, "This is my business." I guess I at least have the power to decide my own affairs. Moreover, there are some things that women do not understand. ”

Li Wenjing didn't say anything more. Threw me a complicated look and left.

I sat back on the couch and suddenly felt a sense of relief!

I admit that Yang Wei was right when she quarreled with me today.

So, I don't have to go to the Gambino family with a hot head.

However, whether to accept Li Wenjing's help or not is another matter!

Big deal I'm quitting Hollywood! Big deal I don't make this money anymore!! However, accept the help from the rival in love, if I do this, then I am not me!

In fact, some of my words are not wrong in today's quarrel.

There are some things that are men's things that women will never understand!

When I thought of this, I couldn't help but smile and scold myself, and said to myself: "Damn, Lao Tzu is as good as a stream, and at the same time adheres to principles!" Hehe, what she said makes sense, I can listen to it. However, it is still necessary to grasp the issue of principle. ”

I tilted my neck and swallowed the wine from the glass in front of me, looked left and right, and suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong. And I met Li Wenjing here tonight, and unexpectedly solved a stone in my heart that had been suppressed for a day, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and I was ready to say goodbye and leave.

At that moment, a hand behind me pressed my shoulder. I looked sideways, and Martin didn't know when he was coming back.

He still smiled like a hospitable host: "Hey, Chen, what's the matter, are you leaving so early?" ”

Then the man, surnamed Rothschild, suddenly showed a strange smile, and he looked left and right: "What about Lee?" Did he leave first? There can't be some misunderstanding between you, right? ”

"Nope." I shook my head. It is indeed not a misunderstanding, but a contradiction in the open.

"Okay, it's just the two of us now, why don't we talk about some topics that are of interest to each other?" Martin smiled, and he took out a small bottle from behind him: "Look, this is a bottle of gin from my treasure, don't look at it as inconspicuous, but it tastes amazing!" ”

I replied, "Just like the Rothschilds?" ”

Martin smiled mysteriously, and he shook his head: "No, no, my family's low profile is our tradition. But I'm an alternative, as my elders once said, I'm probably the most unusual Rothschild in more than 200 years. Because I like to spend all day with these Hollywood stars, I'm also the closest person to the media spotlight. ”

He poured me a drink, and then said casually, as if unintentionally: "By the way, I heard that you seem to have been in some trouble recently......
