The guest of this night, Zhou Zhen is not looking forward to Bessie, but a guy named Michael Corleone.

This small, unsmiling guy is the ruler of New York's underworld.

The will still wanted to enter the world of "The Godfather" and devour the will of that world.

However, this is the world of "Taxi Driver", and "The Godfather" only has a movie plot, not the branch world dominated by it.

After watching the Godfather trilogy, Zhou Zhen's biggest doubt is the separation of the third part and the first two, which leads to the blurring of Michael's age.

Both the first and second parts said that Michael was born in 20 years, so he should be 55 years old in 75 years, and he is indeed this age now.

But the third part was filmed in '91, but it was filmed in '79, and Michael was over 70 years old.

In fact, if it is according to the time when the movie was filmed, it is indeed over 70 years old, and if it is 79 years, it is nonsense to say that 70.

Michael only graduated from college in the forties, why did he turn over seventy in the seventies?

His father, Vito, fled to the United States in 00 and was only ten years old.

He was still the youngest son, and it was most plausible that he was born when his father was thirty years old.

"Hello, Travis."

Looking at Michael's outstretched hand, Zhou Zhen smiled and gave him an intimate veneer gift.

Michael snubbed and passively accepted Zhou Zhen's intimacy. "Michael, we're from the same country."

Barry laughed at the sight. "Michael, Travis, is the third generation of our family, and he is also of Italian descent. He also often mentions you as we chat, thinking that you are the pride of Italians. ”

This is nonsense, Zhou Zhen never talked about these things with him. And Michael, the godfather, is actually far from the status of the Ewing family, how can a family that controls the country behind the scenes be a gangster?

If he hadn't spent a lot of money supporting Palanti, Barry wouldn't have added his name to the guest list.

Michael smiled, much more gentle. "Hello Travis, I hope we have time to talk after the meal."

"Of course."

When he was led by the butler to a group of local merchants, Barry said, "Travis, you don't need to be so close to him, and our family is not suitable to be too close to someone of his status. ”

Zhou Zhen smiled: "Don't forget, you added him to the guest list." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and both understood that the other party was just talking about people and talking about ghosts.

Zhou Zhen has never thought about going to the underworld since he entered this world, because the underworld has not changed much in his mentality.

Travis was a depraved man with no goals, and going the underworld didn't help his mindset change in any way.

He was bent on gaining a foothold in New York through fame and fortune, and then became the palantin's benefactor and helped him rise to the presidency.

It's just that I didn't expect that because of the relationship with the Ewing family, this road was very easy.

Now, Zhou Zhen is so active in helping Palanti not because he may be a good president, and the world only knows this presidential candidate.

Now, he was standing at the top of the pyramid, surrounded by two women with different styles, but equally charming.

has made a lot of profits by investing, and he has gained fame and fortune by writing, and now he is very different from the original taxi driver.

Seeing Betsy walk in with another woman, Zhou Zhen nodded to Barry, and then greeted her.

"Why is she here?" Barry muttered inwardly and turned to ask the butler. "I heard that Travis spent more than half an hour in her study with her last night?"

"Travis and Miss Deborah apparently see her as a new prey, and today it was Miss who called Palandin and asked for her information."

Barry frowned and asked, "There is still no husband and wife between them?" ”

The butler hesitated for a moment and said, "They seem to enjoy the current state of treating Jenny as a mutual girlfriend. ”

"It's really a headache, we have to let them have a husband and wife, it's better to have a child as soon as possible." He glanced at Bert, who was talking to a few tycoons and Palanti. "If necessary, you can give drugs. Bert's side, I'll take care of it. ”

"Understood."

"But this can only be done against Miss, Travis is the most terrible person I have ever met, and any ploy will probably not work for him."

"Why? Is there anything I don't know? ”

The butler, who was nearly sixty years old, hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just a feeling." What we see Travis, is just what he wants us to see.

You watch him every step he takes, always walking the same distance. His expressions can be freely transformed, and his movements are never superfluous.

Every time he eats, he eats almost the same amount, and I have tried many times, and the weight of what he eats is almost exactly the same.

What he did in Dallas, do you think one person could do it? I didn't see it with my own eyes, but the fact that he had fun with Jenny every time it lasted was enough to make any man feel inferior.

Barry, Travis is the treasure of our Ewing family, and at no time, let him feel offended, this is our greatest sincerity. ”

The butler had watched Barry grow up, and he had the same respect for this elder as his father, knowing that he was capable of more than just being a butler.

Listening to him, Barry said, "I always trust your choice and do what you say." Ever since he single-handedly killed almost the entire Barn family and came back unscathed, I never wanted to offend him. ”

The butler nodded. "He wants freedom, whatever he wants, we can all satisfy, sincerity is the closest bond between us."

They thought that Zhou Zhen couldn't hear them, but Zhou Zhen could hear everyone's conversation as long as he wanted to.

Zhou Zhen, who took Betsy upstairs, listened to their conversation, and smiled with Betsy with an unchanged face: "Although today's gathering seems to be much more formal than yesterday, there is less sincerity and more hypocrisy between people. ”

"This world is inherently hypocritical, and if you give sincerely, you will often only be bumped on the head and bleed."

"I thought you would be cynical and keep a positive, sincere heart to face the world."

"In the face of a hypocritical world, there must be a cloak of hypocrisy. But this does not prevent our hearts from remaining sincere, beautiful, and hopeful. ”

"You read my manuscript?"

"Of your three copies, this is my favorite."

The second floor has become the world of the ladies, and Zhou Zhen has received a lot of attention when he came up, and many eyes are full of curiosity.

A handsome and strong young man is a gem in the eyes of these mature women.

Zhou Zhen was also a little uncomfortable under this wolf-like gaze, and beckoned to Deborah. "Please be casual and don't feel inhibited. If you really don't get used to it, you can go to my study on the third floor to hide. ”

"I will......"

Deborah walked over and took Betsy's hand intimately. "Bessie, you're dressed so beautifully today. Come, I'll introduce you to a few congressmen's wives, if you want to get a job in the White House or Capitol Hill in the future, it's very easy. ”

Betsy wasn't used to being so close to a woman, especially if the other party was still a lace edge.

But there was no room for refusal at this time, and she obediently followed Deborah into the crowd.

Today's banquet, Zhou Zhen kept a very low profile and let Barry preside over it.

Whether it's a big name in New York or elsewhere, he knows it all, and decades of friendship can make him joke nonchalantly to get closer.

This kind of closeness, no matter how powerful Zhou Zhen's ability is, can't compare.

When it came time for the formal banquet, he was mainly in charge of finance and local New York guests, while Bert was mainly in charge of the oil industry and the bigwigs of Congress, and the division of labor between the two was very clear.

Zhou Zhen and Deborah are mainly responsible for entertaining young people, and there are not many young guests today, so the task is relatively light.

The busiest of all is Palanti, the presidential candidate, who is long-sleeved and eloquent in his chatter and laughter with people from all walks of life.

Betsy's seat was arranged directly opposite Zhou Zhen, and seeing the two girls on his left and right eyebrows, she suddenly felt that even in this lively banquet hall, Zhou Zhen was still so lonely.

At this moment, she felt sorry for him......

Watching him force a smile (brain supplement), as if only eating calmly at intervals is the real Travis.

Zhou Zhen used his master-level acting skills to play a man who was proud on the surface, but lonely.

This feeling made Betsy's motherly love overflow, and her eyes looked at Zhou Zhen more and more gently, but she didn't know it yet.

At the beginning of the ball, Betsy notices that he and Deborah are leading the guests to dance as if they were on an errand, but then she never sees Zhou Zhen again.

At this moment, she didn't want to dance either.

However, she was invited by several guests and danced three dances before she got out.

Then, she went back to the second floor and then to the third floor.

Outside Zhou Zhen's study, she heard the voice of someone talking.

One was Zhou Zhen's young voice, and the other was hoarse and indistinct.

She hesitated, stared at the stairs, and listened quietly by the doorway.

In the study are Zhou Zhen and Michael, the two of them have been in contact with each other, at this time, Zhou Zhen is talking to him about returning to his hometown in Italy.

Sensing Betsy at the door, Zhou Zhen talked about the death of his parents, and deliberately added that he didn't find family affection in Italy.

Although there are still a few distant relatives, because of the lack of contact, they can't find the feeling of the hometown of the heart.

In this world, he seemed to be alone.

Betsy at the door sympathized with him even more, in this world, he was the only one left, and now he didn't even have love.

She took a deep breath and left the door of the study, already having made up her mind.

Since he has no one to love, let yourself love him.
