Chapter 24: Anthony is humiliated
In an upscale hotel in Manhattan, a reception of the real top of New York is taking place, and the attendees are all stamping their feet and becoming the real big people who shake the whole city.
"I'm sorry, I still have something," with a formulaic smile, a middle-aged man dressed as a successful man in a suit and leather shoes who had just chatted with Anthony turned around and left, leaving only Anthony and Gin here.
"Boss, it doesn't matter to you," Gin on the side looked at his boss with a gloomy face and drained the red wine in the glass, and couldn't help asking.
Anthony's gloomy face waved his hand, and he smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's okay, isn't this all expected?" Although I have some money in my hands now, there are thousands of people below. But in the eyes of these really big people, they are nothing, and they should be rejected. At least the other party didn't make me ugly, did he? β
"Why don't you ask Councillor Chris to introduce you, it might work better," Gin suggested.
Anthony shook his head and said lightly: "It's useless, although my idea of implanting a plant in his subconscious can greatly improve his good opinion of me, but it will not make him have no bottom line." It's good for him to be able to help to that extent. You know, today's party is a real gathering of top people in New York, and it will take some effort for even Kim and that guy to participate in this kind of party, let alone someone like me. β
Gin nodded silently, then glanced around, and then asked, "Then should we go back directly?" β
"No...... I have one last goal. If you can get the friendship of this guy, those few just now are nothing, he is a real big man with energy," Anthony looked at the lightly picked figure in the crowd and walked over to this side, and couldn't help but tidy up his appearance a little, and said seriously.
"Is the boss talking about Tony Stark?" Tony Stark is a man of the day in this world, and even people like Gin who doesn't care about other things know him. However, after looking at the cynical figure in front of him, he couldn't help but squint his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I think it may not be so smooth." β
"Maybe," Anthony stretched out his hand and took two glasses of red wine from the waiter, then took out his best state and walked over there: "If you don't try it, how will you know the result, I remember a very interesting sentence that life is like chocolate beans, if you don't taste it yourself, you will never know what it tastes like." β
A drinking party like this between top personalities is a lot of work for Anthony to get into. But for the chairman of a military giant like Tony Stark, who controls the lifeblood of national security, he doesn't know how many times he has refused a gathering of this level. In his opinion, his presence should be the honor of the organizer of this party.
While holding his hands up and down with his female companion beside him, he talked to the people around him in a low-key and light manner. Of course, because of his identity, most of the time it was others who were currying favor with him, and he was teasing the other party. No way, who made him Tony Stark, so he can be so willful.
"Mr. Tony Stark, it's a pleasure to meet you," Anthony said as he handed him one of the two glasses of red wine, greeting him with his kindest expression.
It's just that Tony Stark didn't seem to appreciate it, and didn't take the red wine handed over by Anthony. Instead, he pretended to pull down the tinted sunglasses on his eyes slightly, and looked at Anthony with playful eyes.
After looking at Anthony like a monkey for a while, Tony Stark turned his head and asked the female companion and bodyguard next to him, "Who is this person?" Do you know each other? β
Anthony himself was embarrassed by Tony Stark for not taking the wine he had served, and then looked at himself like a monkey. After hearing his words, his face stiffened, and he felt ashamed and angry for a moment under the playful gaze of the group of people around the Tonys tank.
His woman and the bodyguard shook their heads at Tony Stark together, indicating that they didn't know Anthony. Of course, it may also be that they really don't know each other, because although the Nu Gang was very high-profile in Manhattan during this time, Anthony himself is a low-key person, so there are really not many people who know Anthony himself.
Of course, even if they knew, I am afraid they would not bother to find out. Because although Anthony is now a figure in the gang, in the eyes of this group of real big people in New York, he is just a dregs of society. The Prime Minister's protΓ©gΓ©, the Seven Rank Officials, who serve in front of the saddle in front of the truly powerful people, are naturally over-the-top and disdain to know the dregs of society like Anthony.
Anthony smiled with shame and embarrassment, and then said to Tony Stark: "No wonder Mr. Tony Stark doesn't know me, compared to Mr. Tony Stark, I'm just an insignificant little person, and being able to participate in this drinking party is also a ...... for Councilor Chris."
Before Anthony could continue to say anything, Tony Stark interrupted Anthony's next words with a sigh, and took the glass of red wine from Anthony's hand with a playful look at Anthony and said, "Little man, no wonder." But since you know that you are a small person, you should be a little self-aware. You know, not everyone is qualified to toast me. β
Before Anthony could say anything, Tony Stark directly loosened the wine glass in his hand, and the red wine fell to the ground with a clatter, and the wine was scattered all over the ground. Then under Anthony's iron-green face, Tony Stark said to one of the people next to him who had just complimented him: "Mr. Fawkes, your wine glass is too slippery, remember to customize some good ones next time." β
"Understood, what Mr. Tony Stark was saying, "The man who had just been currying favor with him was the organizer of this gathering, one of the members of the National Security Council, and although he was quite at the bottom of the ranks, he was not much higher than the member of parliament Chris whom Anthony had so painstakingly approached."
But it's such a big man, and he is also extremely flattering in front of Tony Stark. Although he knew that what Tony Stark had just said was nonsense, he still nodded yes, quite a bit of referring to the deer as a horse.
Just as Tony was about to turn around and leave Anthony with a face full of shame and embarrassment, he suddenly seemed to remember something, turned his head to Fox on the side and continued: "By the way, the next time you have a party like this, don't invite everyone." Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for another little person I don't know to want to get to know me, and I don't know him. β
"What Mr. Tony Stark said is," Fawkes replied with a smile on his face, just saw Tony Stark away, turned his head and his face couldn't help but change, and said to Anthony with a non-smiling smile: "This gentleman, I don't know how you got into this reception I held, but I hope I don't see you again when I hold a reception again, thank you." β
After saying that, he turned around and left as if he had touched something dirty, leaving only the people who were watching the excitement with a playful face pointing at Anthony. Gin also realized that something was wrong at this time, and looked worried at Anthony who was about to crush the wine glass in his hand, and couldn't help but say, "Boss......"
"Gin, we're leaving!" The coldness revealed in Anthony's tone made even Gin, who had been with Anthony for so long, feel a chill to the bone.
Got into the car and drove on the way back to the Nu Gang headquarters, Gin looked at Anthony, who was silent behind him through the rearview mirror, and asked worriedly, "Boss, are you okay?" β
"Of course it's fine, I'm fine! I've just figured out one thing now! Anthony opened his eyes and said with a cold gaze: "I'm black!" If you want to increase your strength, there is no need to lick the ass of those big shots and superheroes! Come and ask them to give me something. What I want, I should take it myself with my own hands! β
"Boss, do you want me to kill them!" The king humiliates the ministers to death! Gin was equally angry. And he also found that his boss was in a very wrong state now, and it felt like a volcano that was about to erupt. For fear that his boss would make a mistake, Gin proposed.
"There's no need, today they see me as an ant, and I won't let them climb up tomorrow!"
