Chapter 165: The show is about to begin
"I regret it."
As a provider of venues and facilities and services for this evening.
The master of the Hilton Hotel.
Barry Hilton after the appearance of John Chris Morgun and David Rockphil.
Suddenly, he said to his granddaughter, Paris, who was standing beside him:
"Dear Paris. I suddenly regretted it."
Paris:???
"What do you mean?" Paris asked cautiously.
She rarely saw this slightly depressed look on her grandfather's face.
In her memory, she took over the Hilton Hotel.
And let the Hilton Hotel go international and develop a better grandfather.
has always been the kind of person who is high-spirited and never admits defeat at any time.
"Alas"
Barry Hilton sighed.
He said, "That day when Abel Smith was at our first reception. I should encourage you with all my might, and let you associate with him."
"If only you were by his side now, as his female companion. How nice that should be!"
Hearing Grandpa say this, it was Paris's turn to be speechless.
Want me to take the initiative?
I'm that kind of person!
I'm the eldest lady of the Hilton family!!
Why do you want me to take the initiative to chase him?!
But look at the characters who are beside Abel at the moment.
I thought of what my grandfather said just now.
She did realize that if she had this time, she could be by Abel's side.
How nice that would be!
"Grandpa." Paris said aggrievedly:
"He's not interested in me. He'd rather chase Tedlerna's ugly daughter than take the initiative to show the slightest interest in your granddaughter!"
Barry Hilton looked at his granddaughter, and then at Ikana, who was standing with Tedelerna in the distance.
Is it ugly?
The old guy doesn't think so.
But now, he feels he should encourage his granddaughter.
in case of
What if you are afraid of it?
Barry laughed and said, "You're prettier and more attractive than Ikana. Trust me, Paris. If you take the initiative, no man can resist your charm!"
Well, that's what Anne Hirst said to her daughter.
Anyway, if you give it a try, you won't lose money, and your granddaughter won't lose a piece of meat because of it.
Forehead. There may really be less meat.
But it's just a little bit of meat, so what's there to be afraid of?
Even if we can't really walk together in the future.
has such an experience, which may be of some help to her in the marriage market in the future.
No matter how you think about it, you won't lose, even if you fail completely.
So what are you afraid of?
But if it succeeds, it will be too much help for her and the Hilton family.
There is no profit, or a business with a piece of meat.
Barry Hilton thinks it's probably one of the best deals in the world.
Of course, he had to encourage.
"Grandpa, do you really think so?" Paris is not confident.
That guy was having an affair with more than a dozen people at the same time.
Among them are also Ikana and Peggy Morgenthau, who are ruthless characters in Wall Street celebrity circles.
Although I think I look good and have a good figure.
The family background is not worse than Ikana, and even a little better.
But in the face of that guy, she didn't feel that she had any charm that attracted him.
But now that grandpa says so, Paris has motivation in her heart.
"Of course." Barry Hilton affirmed.
As the second generation of the Hilton family, Barry has long been heartbroken for this family.
But the younger generation, none of them came out
Interested.
This leaves Barry Hilton in his seventies, and he is working hard for his family.
He was already tired.
If only you could find a thigh for the family to shelter from the wind and rain.
It's just a granddaughter, even if it's his favorite granddaughter.
Barry didn't care, too.
"Hmm" Paris looked down slightly, looking at the ground.
At Grandpa's place, Paris, who was encouraged again, finally had a little bit of courage.
At this moment, Paris suddenly heard a small surprise from her grandfather.
She hurriedly looked up at her grandfather, "What's wrong? Grandpa."
"I didn't expect him to come." Barry Hilton said.
"Oh?" Paris looked at the coterie again.
She saw a middle-aged man with a smile on his face and a temperament coming out of the elevator.
Paris felt that this middle-aged man was a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
"Grandpa, who is that?" Paris couldn't remember for a moment, and she asked her grandfather.
Barry Hilton whispered a name.
Paris was immediately surprised:
"He's coming, too. Oh, this guy seems to be Texan, too. Abel is also a Texan."
"Grandpa, he's just one of two candidates. Now that the lawsuit is still going on, there is no need to be so surprised by his arrival, and it is not that he has already lived in that house."
Barry Hilton was a little disappointed with his granddaughter's words.
Because of her granddaughter's words, it was revealed that she was indeed not very good in IQ.
I don't care much about the right governance.
Otherwise, it should be the same as most smart people in the United States.
I all know that this good-looking guy in front of me is a golden-jade guy.
There is a high probability that he will be the most titular and powerful person on the next planet.
Be stupid, be stupid.
Girls are stupid, but they can actually live more easily.
What if someone just likes this kind of stupid girl?
Barry Hilton could only comfort himself in his heart like this.
Abel, on the other hand, does not care about practical interests.
Or the relationship between two families.
He had to express his greatest closeness and attention to the latest guest.
For the first time tonight, he took the initiative to walk towards the other party.
"Oh, George. I didn't expect you to come."
Abel walked over with a smile and shook hands with the middle-aged man.
"Hahaha~" The middle-aged man who was about the same age as Alexander and Tedelena shook hands with a smile.
"I called Alex and Alexander and congratulated them on his success."
"Alex told me you were going to have a drinking party like this here."
"I happened to be here, and then I came."
"I hope it didn't bother you."
Acquaintances who have a relationship just say something different.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he used Abel's elders to get closer to Abel.
It also makes the people around him understand that the middle-aged people coming here at this moment do not represent a certain group.
It represents himself, and his family.
And to the point where he has come to this point, he also has such qualifications, just representing himself and his own family.
This is something that the families who helped him to the throne can't stop it.
"Hi ~ Davis, you're here too!"
After shaking hands with Abel, the middle-aged man greeted Davis Browns with a smile.
Davis Brown's smile responded enthusiastically.
This was followed by David Rockefeller and John Chris Morgun, who also responded enthusiastically.
"I'm thirsty. If you want to go for a drink, I won't bother you." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"No problem. I'll come and talk to you later, dear George."
The middle-aged man patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, and said with a smile:
"Remember Jenna and Barbara? You guys had a great time when you were kids, so be sure to contact them when you have time!"
"Eh" Abel was stunned, and immediately said, "Okay~ I also miss Jenna and Barbara a little."
He said politely.
At the same time, in his memory, he quickly searched for this past memory.
Well, it was about ten years ago, when the original body was five or six years old to seven or eight years old.
It was the time for the middle-aged man in front of him to launch a call in Texas to build a powerful Ranger baseball team.
At that time, Abel often went to Alex's side, and Alex would often take him to the baseball field.
In baseball fields and baseball companies.
At that time, he was playing with the two middle-aged daughters of the same age in front of him.
I think there have been three or four such experiences.
But if you want to talk about how ripe, that's really not.
It's just a playmate who played a few times when I was a child.
At this moment, in the middle-aged population, he said that everyone was like a childhood sweetheart.
Abel was a little speechless.
Coupled with the two sisters, their appearance and figure can only be said to be average.
It's not ugly, but it's far from being pretty.
Abel just responded politely.
The middle-aged man seemed to mention this, smiled and patted Abel on the shoulder, and walked away.
This scene made many smart people in the cocktail party.
All were surprised again.
They felt the number of times they felt surprise tonight.
It's almost time for the surprise they've felt over the past year!
But the surrounding giants were not much surprised by this scene.
Because of the relationship between the Smith family and the middle-aged family, it is not a secret to them.
They also knew that in fact, the Smith family and the middle-aged man's family were not as good as the middle-aged man had just behaved.
Now this middle-aged man is going to take the position.
Abel is so good again, he is still a fellow countryman and neighbor, and a good world friend.
No matter which piece you stand on, there will be some benefits to wooing Abel.
Only middle-aged people will do this.
If Abel is ordinary, it is estimated that even if the relationship between the two sides is good, the middle-aged man will not appear tonight.
After the middle-aged man appeared, the time came almost half past seven.
Most of the guests who should come, or are not invited.
Most of them are here.
Finally, David Mellon walked out of the elevator hall with an old man who looked a little similar to him, representing the Mellon consortium.
Almost all the guests at tonight's reception have arrived.
More than 1,000 square meters, with more than 40 waiters in the Hilton Golden Hall.
At this time, it is smoky and shouting, and it is as lively as a vegetable market.
Even if it's the so-called high society, when everyone gets together to chat and talk.
It's no different from ordinary people opening pary, or haggling in the vegetable market.
We are all human beings and are essentially the same.
At most, the status of the guests, the food eaten, the drinks consumed, and the venue where the pary is opened vary in size and quality.
But it's all essentially the same.
"Whew~"
After David Mellon came up, Abel let out a sigh.
He finally got some free time.
Under the gaze of many people, he came to the side of the Tedelena father and daughter, who were in the corner of the edge, and almost no one came to talk to them.
"Hi ~ Ikana." Able walked over with a smile and leaned over to talk to Ikana
Intimate kiss ceremony.
Sniffing her with the nice smell of perfume and hormones.
He laughed and whispered in her ear, in a voice that only she could hear:
"I didn't expect you to be able to get up~ I thought you were going to rest on the yacht!"
Ikana resisted the urge to slap him.
A lot of people are watching.
It must be held back.
She rolled her eyes softly and cutely, and responded in the same same tone:
"I saw you and Peggy Morgenthau just like I did. But not for Amanda Hirst. You can't be involved with Morgenthau, are you?"
"Uh" Abel looked at her.
I didn't expect her to be quite observant.
Yes, Peggy Morgenthau and Robert were here just now.
and Anne Hirst with her baby daughter, Amanda Hearst.
The elders of the two of them have much more status than Tedlerna at this time.
Also more proactive.
As soon as he came up, he took his daughter and granddaughter to find Abel.
Unlike Tedlerna, who actually wanted to talk to Abel.
was pulled by his daughter.
This is the different reaction of Abel when he met Amanda and Peggy just now.
It was just a handshake with Amanda, even though she had already made a prelude to a kiss.
With Peggy, that is, when Peggy was about to reach out, he took the initiative to come up and kiss him.
This small movement is not big, and many people are not aware of it.
What's more, this is also a relatively normal behavior in European and American social etiquette.
fell in the eyes of a caring person like Ikana, and suddenly made her keenly aware of it.
Able smiled and whispered, "Ikana, I think you have a talent for detectives. You can apply for a job with the New York Police Department."
"That's right." He laughed and said, "Peggy Morgenthau is actually my girlfriend too, believe it or not?"
Ikana gave him another blank look, looking elegant and charming.
She would be skeptical of Abel's words.
Because the woman's intuition tells her that Abel may have a crush on Peggy.
Peggy may have too.
But the two shouldn't have that kind of relationship yet.
Because the kiss ceremony between the two people is a little rusty.
If there was that kind of relationship, there would not be such a sense of alienation.
"Hey~Smith." Tedellerna's voice rang out:
"You can't just talk to my daughter. You're going to make me the laughing stock I am today!"
The small transparency in the cocktail party, Tedlerna has already noticed, among the more than two hundred guests present.
At this time, there were at least hundreds of people, all of whom came to see this way.
Little Transparent Tedlera felt pressured and refreshed.
But if Abel comes and only talks to his daughter, not to himself.
He felt like he was going to make a fool of himself.
With his character, he certainly couldn't accept it.
He spoke immediately.
"Ha~ How could I forget you. Mr. Lerner." Abel smiled and shook his hand.
only to find that this guy, when shaking hands, whispered to himself:
"Boy, if you show intimacy with Ikana tonight, show your relationship. Then I'll forgive you for soaking my daughter!"
"Ha~" Abel's handsome eyebrows raised, and he also responded in a low voice:
"How do you want me to show it? Do you just hug her and kiss her? Wouldn't you, as a father, mind?"
"Amount"
Tedlerna didn't expect this kid to look like a human and be so shameless when he said such things.
This is completely different from the appearance of the business elite when the two were talking about cooperation two days ago.
"Okay."
When Tedelerna was a little upset, he heard Abel laugh and say:
"Don't worry. Ikanna is my woman, and I won't let her be wronged. But today's occasion is not suitable. Trust me, Mr. Lerner. I will make your daughter one of the happiest women in the world."
One is that there will be many happiest women in the world.
What can Tedlerna say?
More and more, more and more exaggerated guests.
It has already made Tedlerna realize that Abel's strength is far more exaggerated than he appears.
Just the strength that Abel showed before was already beyond the reach of Tedlerna at this time.
Now Tedelerna is discovering that this is just the tip of the iceberg.
What will it look like under the iceberg?
Tedlerna could only say sullenly:
"Well, I hope you mean what you say. Then I will allow you to associate with my daughter!"
"Daddy~" Ikana said coquettishly beside her.
I have to say that her father, sometimes although it is more realistic.
This character even influenced her.
But no matter how realistic it is, her father still pays attention to family affection.
Apu is really a lover of personality.
It was at this time.
David Mellon and Merio walked over to Abel.
Ikana, who was just about to say something, knew that tonight's dinner was coming.
She immediately shut up and watched curiously as David Mellon watched the conversation with Abel.
David first greeted the father and daughter in a friendly manner.
Then he said, "Boss, it's almost time."
Abel nodded, "Let's get started."
David hesitated, and then he said, "I still think it would be better for you to go up in person."
"I'll go up. But after that. David, it's like in the capital markets, I need you to lead the way for me."
Abel looked at him with a smile, "Whether it's before, now, or in the future. Do you know what I mean?"
David was stunned, then smiled happily.
"I see." David whispered happily.
This is Abel, revealing it to him.
Even after that, Smith Capital expanded to include many other shareholders.
There may also be additional personnel dispatched by these shareholders.
But Abel will also support him, and David Mellon will continue to sit in this position.
"And Merio." Abel looked at Merio next to him, and said in the latter's surprised eyes:
"I want you to work for me until I retire. Even after you retire, your children can work for me, and that would be great."
"Ha~Definitely. BOSS, I'm willing to follow you forever, oh, and my kids. If he doesn't want to, then I'll break his leg!" Merio said excitedly.
Able smiled, then patted David on the shoulder.
"Go, my friend, my partner."
"Go tell the crocodiles in this pool how good we have been in the past six months!"
