The Morgenthau family hosted this banquet, and many people were invited.

It can be said that most of the wealthy families in New York and even the East Coast region that New York can radiate to have sent invitations.

More than eighty percent of those who received the invitation chose to go there happily.

Because despite the advanced age of the three brothers, the Morgenthau family has been entrenched in the judicial circles of New York State for more than 30 years.

Morgenthau himself had a constant connection with the Morgundian family, and Robert Morgenthau joined the camp of the new chaebol giants in his later years.

This means that even if the three brothers grow old one after another, the Morgenthau family will not have any good successors, but at least it will not fall too quickly in more than ten years.

The relationship with Morgun and Smith can at least make them brilliant for another decade or more.

As for after that, that's for later.

At least for now, everyone is still willing to give the Morgenthau family this face, and many people have made a special trip to participate.

Those guests with a lower ecological chain arrived early in this banquet.

At this time, the group was very surprised to find that the guest who was supposed to be the last to appear had come so early.

"Wow, it looks like it's true. Legend has it that the relationship between Smith and Morgenthau is actually even closer than that between Morgenthau and Morgenthau! Why? I remember Robert and Smith almost going to court before! ”

"Indeed, I remember three years ago, when Mr. Smith launched a storm of lawsuits, swept away some of the best lawyers in New York at the time, and sued the Manhattan Attorney's Office."

"Why else?"

A middle-aged wealthy businessman nodded in the direction of the members of the Morgenthau family, "Our god of investment is famous all over the world for his habits and possession in a certain aspect. And I remember that three years ago, there was a young lady of the Morgenthau family who had an affair with him in the newspaper......"

In fact, many people know about this. But because there are no similar rumors in the follow-up, whether it is reality or news media.

So everyone is not sure, they are not sure that Miss Morgenthau is really in that relationship with Abel.

At least on the surface, few people discussed, but now that the rich businessman directly pointed out this matter, everyone's discussion direction naturally quietly changed.

This is the most common content that many people have seen in private conversations at the banquet after discovering that Abel appeared so early.

Putting these aside for the time being, Abel naturally received the most solemn reception from the Morgenthau family.

Not to mention that the Robert brothers felt that there was no successor, and wanted someone to continue to take care of the Morgenthau family when they were old.

Even today's status in the ecological chain of this kingdom is enough for them to attach so much importance to it.

What's more, in a sense, Abel is also one of the closest allies of the Morgenthau family.

It is natural that he should be grander in his reception of him.

The three Robert brothers gathered around him, accompanied by Peggy, and the group waited to walk slowly to the middle of the party's main arena.

"Happy birthday, Peggy." Taking advantage of the gap between chatting with the three brothers, Abel suddenly whispered to Peggy Morgenthau, who was a little quiet beside him.

"Well, thank you. Mr. Smith ......" Peggy replied softly.

Yes, that's what this banquet is about tonight at the Morgenthau family—

Peggy Morgenthau's 25th birthday.

Under normal circumstances, the status of the younger generation in such a family is not particularly high.

A family like Morgenthau would not hold such a grand banquet for her, and only to celebrate her birthday.

Now the Morgenthau family is doing this, naturally there are not normal reasons.

One of the reasons is because Peggy is really important in some way in the current Morgenthau family.

Secondly, because today is her birthday, but it is also the day Robert announces his retirement......

And Miss Peggy Morgenthau, who has become the first assistant prosecutor in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

Under the laws of the State of New York and New York, she will be appointed as the new Manhattan Attorney upon the retirement of Mr. Attorney.

So this party is nominally to celebrate her birthday.

In fact, it was Robert who "washed his hands of the golden basin" and at the same time made her look at the Morgenthau family's outward-facing proclamation banquet.

I won't really make a declaration, but everyone who can come here knows what it's all about.

This is why the Morgenthau family invited so many guests to such a grand banquet.

And the three Morgenthau brothers saw Abel and Peggy talking. They all had a tacit understanding and didn't speak again, only made eye contact with each other, allowing the soft conversation between the young couple to continue.

"Congratulations on becoming the new Manhattan District Attorney. I believe that after you take office, you will definitely make the law and order in Manhattan better, so that the people here can enjoy the real rule of law. ”

"That's what I've always wanted to do."

"Peggy, I wonder if there's anything I can do to help you?"

Hearing Abel say this, Peggy Morgenso hesitated for a moment, and she looked at her grandfather and uncle and uncle.

The former nodded imperceptibly, for he didn't see it at all because his back was to Abel.

"Yes, there are a lot of ...... At work. She replied softly.

"Uh...... All right. Abel also responded, "As long as I can do it, I will try to help." ”

Abel always felt that this kind of conversation between the two was weird, and it was a little awkward like a businessman's approach. It's not business, it's all about work.

Fortunately, Bloomberg and Buffett also came, and Abel breathed a sigh of relief and immediately got rid of the Morgenthau family and went to chat with a few old friends.

"Hey, I thought you wouldn't be here until after seven."

Look at the co-emergence of the god of stocks and New York City. Chief, Abel said with a chuckle.

Buffett and Bloomberg glanced at each other, and both of them complained in their eyes: We also want to come later, but didn't you already come first after receiving the news?

Abel actually knows that because of his early arrival, this banquet will definitely make many people arrive early.

He just pretended not to know, and Buffett skipped the question and whispered to him: "I read the email that Mr. D. Ted Lerner sent me, and it works?" Free colleges and universities, free talent training, we are doing this, aren't we cultivating talents for Ah San for free? ”

Abel knew that old Warren was talking about the big plan that he and Morgun had jointly operated.

Many people have joined this plan, and Buffett, as a friend of Abel, has certainly played a part in it.

And Ikana's father is one of the concrete implementers of Abel and their plan.

A while ago, D. Ted Lerner went to South Asia for a month, and as Abel's spokesperson for interests, he contacted Asanmen there.

At present, the contact is relatively smooth, and several real estate cooperation has been started, and several high-level talent cooperation training programs have been carried out in Mumbai and New Delhi.

After more than a busy month, D. Ted Lerner returned.

This kind of thing does not need him to be resided, and there will be many professional people doing the specific work, and many of them are even ClA or people from relevant departments in the United States.

D. Ted Lerner used to be just a representative, acting as a spokesman for Abel's interests and connecting with people over there.

Upon his return, at Abel's request, D. Ted Lerner asked the professionals to draw up a schedule.

The bigwigs who participated in the plan were able to get this schedule and learn about the progress of the big plan.

"There are risks in any industry, and you need to be cautious in any investment."

Abel shrugged and said, "I said a long time ago that this is a big plan that lasts for more than 10 years. It may not necessarily work, and there may even be losses. But if all goes well, it may be more satisfying than when you harvested Lucia. With such a large potential benefit, there will naturally be an equally large potential risk. ”

"But......" Abel smiled, giving his allies a little confidence, "I believe that with the national nature of those third brothers, our plan will most likely succeed." ”

Speaking of Ah San's ethnicity, Buffett remembered the intelligence investigation materials he had come into contact with and seen about that place in South Asia after he joined the program.

After thinking about it, the god also felt that what Abel said was very reasonable.

I didn't understand it before, but now I take a closer look. The magic of the third brother made the gods shout magically, I didn't expect that there was such a magical place and such a magical group in the world.

This did greatly strengthen his confidence in Abel's plan.

"Well, you're right. Anyway, I'm just one of the investors, whether it's losses or gains, I'm not the one with the most. The old man said with a smile.

At this time, Bloomberg also smiled and participated, "This is our future, let's talk about our present first." ”

Conquer the South Asian subcontinent, that's a matter for later.

Right now...... Now for the Hydras, the most important project is naturally the Hudson Yard project.

"I'm in favor of early release." Warren Buffett said directly, "There's this guy, and the name of Manhattan is here." I'm sure a lot of people will buy it. ”

"Hah, even you conservative guy thinks so. That should be no problem. Bloomberg said happily.

Last time Abel was on New York City. It is necessary to speed up the process of building city squares.

At the same time, Abel also said that it may be possible to sell those unbuilt properties in advance, anyway, the United States is not without this situation, but it is less common than in China.

Only in those more sought-after real estate projects and projects will there be such early pre-sales similar to pre-sale.

There is no doubt that Hudson Yards is one such project.

The three of them chatted for a while about the city square, and it was almost half past seven by this time.

Most of the guests had already arrived, and at 7:45 a.m., even the two old men of Mahogon and Rockfeller appeared early.

A lot of people know the reason why they arrived so early, not because Morgenthor made them take it so seriously.

It's a certain gentleman who makes them pay so much attention, who said that this gentleman really rarely appears at banquets.

As a result, one circle after another, large and small, like waves in the Atlantic Ocean not far away, poured into the small circle where Abel and his Hydra gang were located.

Not just John Chris Morgun, but also Rockphile or the Newhouse family in New York.

Even Pierre Eugene Dupont, the head of the DuPont family, who has rarely come out in recent years, came over to chat with Abel for a while.

Speaking of the DuPont family, as far as Abel knows, this family has been plagued by a serious inheritance problem in the past ten years.

That's ...... The family members have many genetic diseases, malformations and other problems.

The reason for this problem is that this family has a very unique family power in the past.

In the most important third generation, there were at least 10 pairs of cousins within the family, and the reason they did so was to avoid the loss of family wealth.

Since then, DuPont has become the largest family of close marriages in the United States.

Then there will be problems in a few generations, and many of their descendants have physical defects due to the marriage of close relatives, resulting in fewer and fewer talents.

So much so that in 1973, he was successfully infiltrated by Morgun.

Today's DuPont influence is not as good as it was then, and its consortium should be called the Mahogon & DuPont consortium.

The name of the Mahjong comes first, which also means that the Mahogon is the dominant one in the consortium.

But in order to keep the family business, the DuPont family is willing to do this kind of thing that violates natural science and physiology. How could it be possible to give in to the Mahogon and lose control of the family business now?

Therefore, the relationship between DuPont and Morgun has not been very good, and infighting has always existed in various companies within the DuPont consortium.

As a result, DuPont companies are gradually marginalized. Their family is also a bit marginalized in the United States.

In fact, if you look at many big families in the United States, almost every family has a very wonderful story. Those business wars, TV dramas, etc., as long as you follow these things, you don't have to worry about no sales and ratings.

But...... Who would dare?

There are very few people who dare to insinuate, so ordinary people outside can't figure out these things at all.

Abel also learned so many things after becoming one of them.

For example, David Rockphile, who has a preference for middle-aged women...... When I was 10 years old, I liked 40 years old, 20 years old, 30 years old, and now I'm almost 80 years old...... Very dedicated.

Another example is John Chris, this guy is known to Abel, and his XP is very similar to Dengzi......

Abel suspects that this guy must be a regular visitor to a place like that on an island!

Of course, Abel admits that he wasn't very clean.

Scarlett, Avril and the others were not very old when they followed him.

In fact, this is a common problem in the upper echelons of the empire, and there is hardly a clean one in this regard.

If you are too clean, you really act like a saint. Don't say that it's incompatible with this group of people, but this group of people will definitely unite to suppress you!

Want to get out of the sludge without staining? Think too much.

The cups and plates are staggered, people come and go, well-dressed, gentlemanly, and ladylike.

In this respect, it was a successful typical imperial high-end banquet.

Both the organizers and the Morgenthau family and the guests who participated were very satisfied.

Abel thought it would be nice to get involved once in a while, and he slipped away to go to the bathroom.

At this time, it was about 8 o'clock, and then something awkward happened.

There were too many guests tonight, and the restroom was not very adequate.

Of course, Morgenthau doesn't want the big guys to line up to go to the bathroom.

They opened their own internal restrooms for everyone to use.

So Abel was taken to the Morgenthau Stone Castle Manor, a room that was relatively rear, independent, and had a small garden to solve physiological problems.

When Abel finished solving it and walked out of the room.

He saw Edward guarding the doorway and gestured at him.

Before he could react, Peggy's greeting suddenly sounded from behind.

"Mr. Smith?"

"What's the matter? Peggy? Ah, this is supposed to be your room? Abel asked with some curiosity.

"Yes. I...... Can I talk to you about that? ”

Peggy's gaze was a little evasive, as if she was a little uneasy. "It won't take much of your time."

"Well, of course, it's an honor." Abel replied.

Then, the two of them wandered along the long inner garden path of Morgenthau's Stone Castle.

At this time, the moon was already high in the sky, because there was no floating clouds to cover it, and the clear moonlight poured down on the ground without reservation, as if to pave the ground with a layer of silver mysterious light, both clear and hazy.

"Mr. Smith, this seems like the second time you've walked with me like this." After walking for a while, Peggy finally spoke, "Feeling...... It feels weird. ”

"Oh, it's the second time, indeed." Abel also remembered that at that time, her grandfather wanted to reconcile with him and sent her to his side. He made an offensive request to let her act as his girlfriend in front of the media.

At that time, the two of them once walked a long way along the coastline on Malibu Beach, and let the paparazzi who followed them take an unknown number of photos.

"Hehe, time flies so fast, three years have passed in a flash, and I don't feel it at all."

Peggy smiled, "But if you think about it, the past three years are not completely meaningless, all kinds of big things have happened in the middle, my grandfather has also chosen to retire, and we are not as hostile as in the past." ”

"Well, time is like that, fast and slow, and it's confusing." Abel nodded.

"yes...... It's like these moonshines, and it's confusing......" Peggy looked up and looked at the sky.

Abel realized something, and did not bother with words.

Suddenly, as if inadvertently, Peggy spoke.

"Mr. Smith, alright......" Seeing that Abel was about to speak, she changed her words, "I know, you want me to call you Abel, well, Abel." ”

Abel nodded.

She continued: "Actually...... Actually, you already know it in your heart, right? My grandfather chose to retire and let me become a prosecutor. At the same time, the first one came to you and said that kind of thing to you. I think you know what to expect. ”

"Hmm!"

Although the voice of the question was soft, it made Abel's heart skip a beat.

He quickly turned his head and stared at Peggy.

This girl in a white dress and glasses was even whiter under the moonlight at the moment, as if she had been refined.

Because she was still looking up at the sky, her already slender neck formed a few wonderful arcs with her collarbone, and the shadows under the moonlight became deeper and deeper, as if she intended to make people peek into it.

Truth be told, among so many women. She was definitely the first and only one who could give him this wonderful feeling at the moment.

Maybe it's because she's too smart, or maybe it's because of the time she was around Abel, and he didn't have much social status.

At that time, Peggy, who was much better than Ikana in all aspects, left a very strong psychological impression on him.

But for many reasons, I have had little contact with her.

At this moment, if Abel has enlightenment, maybe this is the white moonlight in his heart?

"You...... What do you mean by that? Abel asked tentatively.

After he finished speaking, Peggy smiled slightly, and when she seemed to have been cast a mysterious spell by the moonlight, her delicate smile was like a laurel flower in a flower bed, and it actually added a bit of charm to this usually serious and cold girl.

"My uncle and uncle, they all want me to marry you. Because they think, in fact, excluding the Texas origin, Morgenthau is not much worse than a shrub. My grandfather and father actually thought so, so this time I want to ask you, can you break your engagement with Laura Bush and marry me? ”

"They told me that Morgenthau didn't care about your women. It can even be more accommodating than shrubs for this. ”

"But I always knew it wasn't going to be possible. At least not now and in the future, perhaps it was possible before. ”

"But they don't give up, and they're going to let me try it anyway. They feel ...... I think you might be a little special to me. ”

"So...... You've been led here, and I happen to be here. ”

"So, is this possible?"

Her long words made Abel open his mouth, but no sound came out.

Because he really didn't know what to say, he didn't expect Peggy to say these things to himself......

"I ...... To be honest, I don't know how to answer. ”

After a long time, in the quiet moonlight, Abel spoke: "I can only tell you, Peggy, I do like you very much. But...... What you say is impossible. Go tell Robert that our relationship is still business as usual. But this kind of thing is impossible, don't think about it. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for the other party to speak again, and strode out.

Edward followed.

Peggy watched Abel's departing back in silence, his crisp black suit blending in with the night sky in the moonlight, and his short blond hair shining like velvet.

"Abel. I really admire you. After Abel walked more than ten meters, she said leisurely, "Even if you can't be my husband." I still admire you. ”

"Hahahaha, that's my pleasure!" After hearing the words coming from behind, Abel laughed again, "Goodbye." ”

Peggy didn't speak again, just stood where she was, watching him go in the rippling evening breeze.

It wasn't until Abel's figure had completely disappeared that she slowly turned around. Walk towards your house.

Really, I really appreciate it.

In fact, at the beginning, Peggy was the first heroine, and at that time there was a role list, and she ranked first, and then the role list was protected and harmonized, and I never opened the role list again. At that time, it happened to be written in Texas on the shelves, and she felt that shrubs were more suitable, so she gradually disappeared. But I still plan to bury her pit, so this chapter is out. It's not good to write this kind of normal romance, and the latter part of the content was written for two hours, so there is only one chapter of 6,000 words today.
