Chapter 70: The Intertwined American Upper Class

Woolworth Building, 33rd floor.

Smith Capital,

Accompanied by two bodyguards, Abel came to the company.

At the front desk of the company, he unexpectedly met an "acquaintance"

"You're... Miss Catherine? ”

"Yes, it's me. Hello, Mr. Smith. It's a pleasure to see you again. ”

"Oh, me too."

It turned out to be the last time,

Abel takes a private flight provided by Amex,

Back to Texas, and back to New York from Texas.

On the plane, the one he met was a combination of Scarlett Johansson and Amber Heard.

A flight attendant with a good figure and a good temperament.

At that time, because she was really beautiful.

Someone is hungry for her body.

I left her a business card and said that she was welcome to apply for a job in New York.

After I came back, I was busy for several days.

Miss Catherine Jones never came to the door.

Gradually, Abel forgot about this matter a little.

I didn't expect to see her here in the company.

After saying a few words to Catherine, Abel looked to the front desk.

There are two people at the front desk, and they are both good-looking.

One of the foremen hurriedly responded to the boss:

β€œBOSS。 This lady is holding your business card and says she wants to come to you.

But you're not in the company, and Mr. Mellon is entertaining guests.

Mr. Merio went out on errands.

I'll just let her wait here for a while. ”

Abel nodded, looking at Catherine, who had a somewhat cramped expression.

He spoke: "Later, I will ask the director of the company's human resources department to come out and interview you."

Miss Catherine, wait a little here. ”

"Okay." Catherine quickly agreed.

Abel nodded to her again, and then walked into the office.

He went straight to David Mellon's office.

Sure enough, David and Abel's lead personal lawyer, Caroline, were talking in the office.

Seeing Able push the door in, Caroline and David both stood up.

"How's Ovitz's yacht?

It seems to be more than two hundred feet? FXXK, a hundred feet longer than my Mellon. David said with a smile.

Abel shrugged, "There's no need to be envious. By the end of the year, you'll have the money to buy a bigger and better one than him.

When the time comes, it will become Ovitz who envy you. ”

Hearing him say this, the smile on David's face grew even bigger.

Abel greeted his chief counsel.

"Good afternoon, ma'am."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Smith." Lawyer Caroline, who has always been straightforward in her appearance and demeanor, nodded in response.

Each of the three of them found a seat and sat down.

Abel sat across from Caroline, and David spoke:

"How about a cup of coffee? Geisha? Colombia? ”

"Columbia." Abel said.

"Lady Caroline, you must be the Blue Mountains."

Caroline nodded.

David started making coffee in his office, and Caroline spoke up as he got busy.

"Mr. Smith. You should have heard David say yesterday that someone was investigating Smith Capital. ”

Abel nodded, "It's the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, right?" ”

Lady Caroline did not look surprised when she heard his answer.

She continued to say calmly, "That's right, it's Robert Morgenthau's office. ”

Sure enough, even if Bloomberg didn't reveal it, he had a way to get this information.

The thought crossed Abel's mind, and he looked at Caroline, "So, what advice would you give me?" Dear Ms. Carolyn, ”

"Mr. Smith." "You hired me because I can guarantee that you won't roll over easily when you're speeding down this side of Wall Street," Caroline said. ”

"I'll convince you of what it means to be worth the money."

"So my advice is, anytime," she said.

No matter who investigates you, you can't be weak.

At least you can't show weakness, even if you pretend, you have to be tough, you know? ”

"I'm never weak." Abel said calmly.

Caroline looked at him and smiled, "That's right, that's what it is." Even if it's pretended, it has to have this effect. ”

Abel looked at her, paused for a word, and whispered:

"I, never, no, would, be weak!"

Caroline paused in silence for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, that's right." That's it, you're doing well, sir. ”

"Let's move on to it."

"Please."

"I go through a few channels. Found Robert to investigate your cause. Caroline said.

According to his own words, it was because of some favors.

Plus his Financial Crimes Investigation Team, which happens to be studying you.

So it's time to start investigating you. ”

"According to him?" Abel raised an eyebrow.

"That's right. It was Robert Morgenthau himself who told me. Caroline said.

She looked at Abel: "Twenty-eight years ago, when he was a lawyer. I used to be his assistant lawyer. ”

"Understood." Abel Dao.

Damn it again, intertwined upper-class social ties.

Fortunately, this time, it is the self that benefits from this social bond.

Then I'll forgive it.

At this time, Caroline said again: "As for Robert, who asked for favors, he didn't explain it to me. ”

This Abel also understood.

It's nothing more than some of Robert Morgenthau's friends, connections, and the like.

It is inconvenient to say to Caroline.

"And now? Are they still investigating me?

When will a search warrant be issued, and when will it come to my company to look for evidence? Abel asked.

"Cyrus of the Financial Crimes Investigation Squad did apply to Robert for an investigation order."

Caroline said, "but Robert refused." ”

Abel frowned, "Investigate me and refuse to issue a search warrant to me?" ”

"Yes. As for why, Robert didn't say.

But with your integrity, Mr. Smith, it is clear that there will be no problem in the short term. ”

That's when David Mellon made his coffee.

With a plate, he walked over with three cups of coffee.

After Abel and Caroline took the coffee and said thank you.

David raised the plate in his hand.

"Guess how much this tray costs?" David said with a smile.

"Maybe five dollars. Maybe ten dollars. Abel said casually.

Caroline said, "A thousand dollars."

This is what is included in the packing list that must be purchased with the purchase of certain limited edition Hermès products.

As boring as this plate is, there's also a fly swatter that costs six hundred dollars. ”

"Uh~" David smiled, "Madam, it seems that you have already bought it." ”

Caroline didn't speak, but gracefully picked up her coffee and took a sip.

Abel shook his head, ignoring David, who had diverted from the subject.

These luxuries, he also uses them a lot.

But the people who bought these luxury goods were his two girlfriends.

They bought their own, and they bought a lot for Abel.

So what a distribution item, worth a thousand hundred dollars or something like that.

He really didn't know.

He asked, "And now, ma'am, what advice do you give me?" ”

"Be quiet, never weak." "Do what you have to do, just keep doing it," she said. ”

After listening, Abel was silent for a moment.

Then he nodded, "Understood." ”
