Chapter 125: The Dance Party (1)
Dida and Bennett did a good job, but they were so bold that they chose to deliver in broad daylight.
Using vegetables and meat as a disguise, he successfully deceived the eyes of prosecutors, entered Atlantic City without careful inspection, and successfully delivered the goods to the designated destination.
At the same time, he also sells vegetables and meat to the locals, making a small extra money.
Compared with them, most of the mules are not very good, lack the ability to think for themselves, and a few have been arrested, and Li Yaoyang, who was harmed, lost a batch of wine.
That's okay, the key is to let the Prohibition Commissioner know about this mode of transportation, which is the big problem.
The future of mules is difficult.
————————
The dance party is approaching, and Li Yaoyang is worried about his female companion.
He originally wanted to take Ah Xiang out to see the world, but the little girl was shy, and when she heard about this kind of thing, she immediately went into the room and refused to come out.
Bao Yuzhen also said:
"Ah Xiang is still young and doesn't understand anything, isn't it too early to let her get in touch with these now?"
"But she has to face it sooner or later, there's nothing wrong with this kind of thing being contacted early, and I don't understand anything, so I don't have to be afraid of losing face~"
But no matter what he said, Ah Xiang didn't agree, and Li Yaoyang had to return disappointed.
Seeing that the dance party is approaching, I haven't found a suitable dance partner yet, so I'm worried.
On this day, he will watch the actors rehearsal in the theater, and the upcoming Christmas performance is very important, even if "The Phantom of the Opera" has been performed dozens of times, he still can't relax.
It just so happened that Sarah was there, and she had an invitation in her hand and her face was helpless.
"What's wrong?" Li Yaoyang was curious.
Sarah handed over the invitation:
"The Christmas Ball, I'm hesitating to go~"
glanced at the Plaza Hotel, where the dance party was held, and suddenly widened his eyes:
"You accepted the invitation too?"
What it means to hear this:
"Huh? Are you going to participate too? ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Li Yaoyang said:
"It just so happens that I don't have a dance partner either, so why don't we just do it?"
Sarah didn't even think about it:
"Okay, then go play, it's boring to be alone at home anyway~"
"Then it's decided, I'll prepare the clothes~"
"Oh? Do you know a style I like? ”
"I don't know, but preparing clothes for a female companion is also the etiquette of a gentleman, isn't it?"
Sarah covered her mouth and chuckled:
"You're not a gentleman, but, thank you, I'm looking forward to it~"
"No problem, by the way, I might have to talk to someone about something that day, you..."
"Oh~It's okay, if you mind, I can not listen~"
"No~ I didn't mean that, I want to say that if I ignore you because of this, I hope you don't mind, it's not a secret, it's okay if you hear it~"
"No, I used to accompany my husband to the ball, and I was also the role of an observer, and everyone is used to talking about things on such occasions, I can understand~"
"That's good~"
Now that the partner's problem is solved, it's a matter of luck.
The Coast Guard Commander must take this move, and if he wants to have a deterrent effect on the Tongfu Chamber of Commerce, this person must be the one!
——————————
The day before Christmas Eve, a grand ball was held at the Plaza Hotel.
Celebrities gathered that night, just like the stars in the sky, reflecting each other.
These people are all the top bigwigs in the New York region, and important members of the political and business circles, art and cultural circles, and the military have appeared with dance partners.
At the moment when the prohibition is shrouded, the appearance of the champagne tower is particularly eye-catching.
I just don't know if Roy Haynes has the courage to appear tonight to defend his dignity, after all, this ball is already known to everyone, and it is impossible for the other party not to receive the news.
If he doesn't come, it means that Li Yaoyang thinks highly of him, this guy is not a fool who doesn't know anything, he knows the stakes and the stakes, and he is a master who eats soft and is afraid of hard.
But if he really comes, it seems that he can't do more than admire him for being a man.
In fact, Li Yaoyang really hopes that Roy will appear, and he really wants to see how Roy will behave in the face of so many big people.
The dance party scene was grand and grand, and the Plaza Hotel took out the highest standard to treat, with a huge banquet hall resplendent and crystal chandeliers.
The guests were all dressed in fine clothes, and the jewels worn by the ladies were dazzling.
A live band plays the most classic European court balls, and some people can't help but dance as soon as they have champagne and wine.
Under the crystal lamp, all the scenes are like a dream, and those who like it are deeply intoxicated, and those who don't like it are extremely disgusted.
But no matter what, no one will put on a face on such an occasion, and they have to pretend to be in the same league with the other party.
The symphony band played live and danced to the VIPs, and there were several themes tonight.
Everyone is free to dance before the official start, and it doesn't even matter if you don't have a jam.
But as the dance begins, you have to dance according to the host's guidance.
There are special ballroom dance sessions and tango sessions, and everyone can freely show their dancing postures.
Among the white faces, Li Yaoyang's appearance is particularly eye-catching, especially Sarah Hudson next to him, who is even more glamorous.
She wore an aqua blue silk dress tonight with a pure white wool shawl, which vividly interpreted elegance and nobility.
In particular, the perfect pear-shaped sapphire under her collarbone is like the heart of the ocean that conquered countless women in the Titanic.
The sapphire is surrounded by 36 top-quality diamonds of nearly the same size and shape, and the light is refracted through the diamonds into the sapphire, turning the blue into a breathtaking.
This is Li Yaoyang's design and idea, Ron helped to realize, if it weren't for him, it would be useless to have money alone, after all, such perfect sapphires and diamonds are not easy to get.
Sarah smiled at the corners of her mouth, as if bathed in sunlight, as if she was one with the gemstone, like a work of art created by God himself, and it was exquisite.
Li Yaoyang was very satisfied with his generosity, and remembered Sarah's reaction when he took out the gemstone necklace before getting into the car, and the pleasure of a successful prank rose in his heart.
Seeing that all the men and women in the audience were stunned, he was even more proud, he could score 99 points in this appearance, and he was afraid of his pride.
Tilting his head slightly, he said in a voice that only he and Sarah could hear:
"How? I'm not wrong, right? After tonight, you'll be the envy of all New York women. ”
The corners of Sarah's mouth curled even more:
"Are you sure it's envy, not jealousy?"
"What's the difference?"
"It's a big difference, and how much did this necklace cost? Why didn't you tell me? ”
"It doesn't matter, the necklace is dead, the person is alive, only you can overshadow the brilliance of the necklace itself, if you change someone else, you will inevitably be swayed by gemstones."
Sarah is a woman after all, and she has been lonely for so many years, her heart is withering, and she inevitably needs the nourishment of love juice.
Speaking of which, she hasn't been so high-profile for a long time, and it's good, at least let the Bichi people in New York know that the old lady is still alive and still young and beautiful!
