Chapter 157: Night View of Philadelphia
After completing the redemption of the bonus, Pepemo calculated the total amount of the rider's bonus share and the total amount of the agent's bonus share, then took out the pen, wrote two checks, and asked the staff to take two envelopes and put the two checks in the envelopes.
After waiting a while, Charter came with Thomson.
Pepe first praised Thomson's watch, then took out the envelope containing the check for Thomson, handed it to Thomson, and said, "This is your prize share, are you right?" β
Thomson excitedly took the envelope, opened it and counted the zeros on the check, and then thanked Pepe with a smile on his face.
Pepe waved his hand magnanimously and said, "Don't thank me, this is what you deserve!" That's how much it is! You are good at expressing xiΓ n, and you will get more than this in the future! β
After saying that, she took out another envelope and handed it to Chatter, "It's yours, open it and see." β
Charter calmly took the envelope, opened it and glanced at the number on the check, then stuffed it back into the envelope, folding it diagonally and stuffing it into his jacket pocket.
"Miss Pell, is there anything else you would like to command? If not, I'll leave with Thomson first, and I'm going to arrange for tomorrow's Triple Crown to be hauled by plane, and then I'll have to pack up and get on the plane with Thomson tomorrow. β
Pepe won more than 10 million in bets throughout the day today, so she was in a very happy mood at this moment. She had planned to invite Chart and Thomson to dinner, but just as she was about to open her mouth, she suddenly remembered that Mark had already told her that he would invite her for today's dinner. Therefore, Pepe quickly swallowed back the words of the invitation, pondered for a moment, and then replied to Chatter: "After the transportation of the Triple Crown is arranged, remember to give an explanation to Reese or Fuya, and if possible, I will fly back to Bozeman with you." β
And then. She instructed Fu Ya and Reese beside her, "You two will cooperate with Charter's haulage of the Triple Crown in a moment, and then help me book an additional ticket to Bozeman." Well, if you're done with all the work at hand, you can also come with me to Koizumi Villa. Okay, that's all, you can arrange the rest of the time, I'll contact you after dinner. β
Fu Ya and Reese nodded after hearing this, and said goodbye to Mark and Austin very brightly. With Charter and Thomson. The four turned to leave.
After all his men were sent away, Pepe turned to Mark and smiled, "Uncle Mark, you will arrange the rest of the time?" β
Mark smiled and replied, "Come with me." I'm going to take you on a tour of Philadelphia's sights and food. β
Following Mark, several people walked out of the Philadelphia Racetrack Park Casino together. Mark took out his phone as he walked and dialed a call, and when the call was hung up, he slipped it back into his pocket. smiled and said to Austin and Pepe: "It's all settled, and there will be a car to pick us up at the door of the casino in a while." β
Several people came to the door of the Philadelphia Racetrack Park Casino. After less than ten minutes of waiting, a Lincoln courtesy car drove up in front of them.
The uniformed driver got out of the car, walked up to several people, and asked with a smile, "Which one is Mr. Mark Quinn, please?" β
Mark stepped forward and replied, "I am." Are you a concierge arranged by Amex? β
The driver smiled and nodded, walked back to the side of the car, opened the door and bent down to salute: "A few guests, please get in the car." β
Mark nodded reservedly. Smile said to Austin and Pepe, "Let's get in the car first." β
After several people got into the car, the driver activated the car keys. The car made a turn and drove all the way.
"Uncle Mark, you should be a Centurion Black Gold user of Amex, right? Is this the top-notch service that Amex Bank provides? Pepe asked Mark curiously after getting into the car.
Mark smiled and nodded, "I'm okay with this centurion black gold card!" The service is really good, like today's situation, I just need to call me at any time, and I can arrange it all for me immediately. β
Austin saw the envious expression on the little girl's face, smiled and asked, "What?" Looking at your expression, do you also want to get a Centurion Black Gold Card? β
Pepe restrained the expression on his face for a moment, and replied depressedly: "It's not that I can succeed if I want to, I am also a user of Amex, but I have a Centurion Platinum Card in my hand, and the staff of Amex told me that according to their Amex regulations, I must hold a Platinum Card for more than three years and spend a certain amount of money every year before I can apply for a Centurion Black Gold Card." β
Austin smiled faintly: "That's because you didn't find the right way!" American society is a ladder, and rules-or-s only apply to those at the bottom. I can help you apply for a Centurion Black Gold Card at any time as long as I make a phone call now. β
After listening to this, Pepe bowed his head and fell silent.
Austin smiled, pulled out a piece of paper from the back of his chair, took out a Montblanc pen from his pocket, handed it to Pepe, and said, "You can write me your Centurion Platinum card number now, and I will arrange it for you by tomorrow afternoon." β
Pepe looked at the paper and pen stretched out in front of him, and was silent.
Mark watched the interaction between the two and started the round with a smile: "If you want to say this, I can also help Little Pell do it, but since Austin you spoke first, then I won't have much to do." β
As soon as Mark said this, Pepe's heart immediately felt much more comfortable.
She didn't continue to twist, reached out and took the paper and pen, and with a few strokes, wrote her centurion platinum card number.
When she was done, she handed the paper and pen back to Austin, smiled at Austin and thanked her, "Then I'll trouble you." β
For the rest of the drive, Pepe looked out the window and took in the views of Philadelphia along the way.
Philadelphia is one of the oldest and most historic cities in the United States, strategically located about 160 kilometers northeast of New York City (2-hour drive) and about 220 kilometers southwest of the capital city of Washington D.C. (3-hour drive).
The Port of Philadelphia is one of the largest estuarine ports in the world, with canals connecting the Delaware River to the Chesapeake Bay. Six bridges cross the Delaware River in the metropolitan area and connect to New Jersey towns on the other side.
The car drove all the way, crossed four bridges in a row, and came to the port of Philadelphia by the dock.
Then, led by the driver, Mark, Austin and Pepe boarded a wide, colorful and glittering passenger liner.
Through GuΓ² Mark's introduction, Pepe learned that this is a floating restaurant called "Delaware Nights". "Delaware Nights" are anchored at the Port of Philadelphia until 8 p.m. and are only available by prior appointment. After 8 o'clock, "Delaware Night" departs the harbor and gently drives along the banks of the Delaware River, where guests can enjoy the special cuisine while enjoying the night view along the way.
Mark, as a Centurion Black Gold Card user, the so-called advance reservation is just another proof of what Austin said in the car just now, "The rules only apply to the group at the bottom". After Mark stepped on the "Delaware Night", he just showed the centurion black and gold card in his hand to the waiter guarding the hatch of the ship, and the so-called reservation rules were as if they were fictitious, and the waiter immediately greeted a few people and walked to the restaurant in the cabin.
Sitting at the window table on the top floor, the waiter handed the three people a menu.
After the three of them finished ordering, Mark closed the menu and asked the waiter waiting on the side, "Is there any good wine to recommend?" β
The waiter smiled and replied: "Since you are ordering fresh river and seafood, we have here the top ice wine from ChΓ’teau Mile '98, and of course, you can also choose the in- (White ChΓ©nine) from ChΓ’teau de la Loire, France, which was produced in 1996." β
Mark thought for a moment, smiled and asked Pepe: "Little Peel, Uncle Mark is a horse that has won with your light today, so I'll leave it to you to decide." β
Pell bit her lower lip, she leaned her head, covered her mouth with her hand to avoid the waiter, and replied softly, "Uncle Mark, I'm under 21 years old, and I can't legally drink alcohol yet!" β
Mark laughed when he heard this: "Come on, I said little Peel, you have such a good relationship with my niece Lillian, as far as I know, this girl started secretly drinking when she was 14 years old." Don't tell me, you don't know how to drink? I'm not going to believe you, don't worry, I'm not going to betray you in front of your daddy. β
When Pepe heard this, after saying "hehehe" a few times, he stopped pretending, raised his head and instructed the waiter: "Just put on a bottle of 96-year-old Bai Xie Ning wine." β
The waiter nodded, then took back the menu and turned to leave.
