Chapter 172: Inexplicable Familiarity
The gentleman was still neatly combed, and he was wearing a light gray tweed coat with a black shirt and a white shirt, as suave as ever.
To his left, there was a dignified and gentle-looking lady with long brown hair and the back of her head, and judging by the intimate appearance of holding his arm, it should be his wife.
Seeing Zhou Yu, Rosa's gaze stayed in that direction, with a narrow smile on her face, she stretched out her hand and waved in front of him:
"Mr. Bruce, are you stupid? As a true gentleman, isn't it rude to stare at a lady like this? ”
Zhou Yu came back to his senses and knew that the other party had misunderstood, but he didn't explain, but said with a smile:
"Everyone has a love for beauty, isn't it a normal reaction to see a beautiful lady and a young lady?"
Rosa was quite unconvinced: "I'm not bad at looks, why didn't I see you show me that kind of expression?" ”
She crossed her hands on her hips and puffed up her chest unconvinced, but after looking down, she lowered her hands and said, "You men are all the same, superficial." ”
Zhou Yu was inexplicable by what she said, but he didn't care, and instead whispered something to Judge Warren beside him, and then walked in front of Franklin Roosevelt with unfast and slow steps.
"Sir, I didn't expect us to meet here again, are you also here for the charity auction?"
Roosevelt was still communicating something with his wife beside him in a low voice, and he was slightly stunned for a moment when he saw Zhou Yu's expression, but he quickly returned to normal, stretched out his right hand and shook it with the other party.
"Mr. Zhou? What a coincidence, yes, I accompanied my friends to this charity auction, and you too? ”
Zhou Yu sighed, shook his head and said: "Alas, I won't tell you, I also grew up in an orphanage when I was a child, so I definitely want to participate in this charity auction, and I can do something for those poor children to heal the scars in my heart......"
“...... Sorry for reminding you of a sad past. ”
Zhou Yu waved his hand generously and said: "It's okay, it's a long time ago, and this experience is also very precious to me, by the way, is this lady your wife?" ”
Roosevelt half-turned his head to look at the lady next to him, and said with a gentle look on his face: "This is my wife, Anna, and this is Mr. Bruce, whom I told you to have a great eye for art." ”
"Hello ma'am."
Zhou Yu said hello to the female dependents very gentlemanly, and Anna saw that her husband had come to an acquaintance, and said very considerately: "Franklin, let me go over for a moment, Mrs. Samos just wanted to talk to me." ”
"Okay, there you go."
Roosevelt patted the back of his wife's hand twice and turned to look at Zhou Yu.
"Mr. Chow, oh no, I should call you President Chow, I heard from a friend that you have been elected as the new president of the Chinatown Chinese United Trade Union and have made positive changes there, and I am very impressed by your courage and action."
Zhou Yu was not surprised that the other party could say these words, it would be strange if he didn't know.
"To use a proverb from our hometown, I'm also riding a tiger, and I can't do it, and Chinatown was a bit chaotic before, and this is an opportunity to pull it on the right track, and for the people there, for the whole city of New York, it's going to make a positive difference, isn't it?"
Roosevelt nodded slowly, agreeing with Zhou Yu's statement, and then he said, "By the way, Mr. Zhou, I also heard that you took in many homeless people on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and provided them with food and a place to live?" ”
Zhou Yu smiled and replied casually: "Mr. Roosevelt, you have only heard half of it, yes, I provided them with food and a place to live, but they also provided their own time and labor, which they deserved. ”
Roosevelt nodded in surprise this time, not knowing what was going on in his mind, but after a moment he seemed to turn his attention back to the charity auction.
"I heard that many painters have come up with their own paintings in today's auction, including works by Picasso, Monet and other masters, I think Mr. Zhou will not miss it."
"Hehehe~ That's nature, as long as I have a relationship with that painting, I will definitely be happy to take it into my pocket."
Zhou Yu knew that the two sides couldn't talk too much about this chance encounter, as long as they made this little Mr. Roosevelt have a deeper impression of him.
He duly stopped the conversation, took his farewell to Roosevelt, and returned to Judge Wharton.
"Bruce, you seem to have a soft spot for that gentleman, do you know his true origins?"
"Origin? Everyone who came here to participate in the charity auction probably has a lot of backgrounds, not including me, of course. ”
"Hehehe~ You're too modest."
The two were talking and laughing, but on the stage in the center of the venue, a young gentleman in a tuxedo appeared, who seemed to be the host of today's charity auction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this charity auction, which has raised 35 lots and will be used to renovate the orphanage and improve the living environment of the children."
The host's words received sincere applause from everyone present.
"Next, let's welcome the promoter of this charity auction, Mr. Aureiro Fabuchi~~~"
There was another round of applause, and a middle-aged man with a thin figure and an unsteady walk walked onto the stage.
Zhou Yu noticed that his eyes were gray, with deep nasolabial folds, a large nose, and he would look around with those eagle-like eyes before speaking.
"Is this the head of the Fabuchi family?"
Zhou Yu secretly remembered this person's appearance in his heart, and was ready to go back and let the cripple collect more information about this person and his family.
Aurello Fabucci took to the stage to make some speeches, thanked the distinguished guests who had come to the auction today, and handed the stage to the host again.
Zhou Yu had been silently looking at this person, and when the other party walked off the stage, a man who stepped forward made him quite curious.
The man had neat brown and yellow short hair, and he walked with a bit of military style.
He seemed to be arguing with Aureiro Fabuchi about something, as if some kind of appeal had not come to fruition, and he left alone rather lonely.
"Who's that? How can there be an inexplicable sense of familiarity......"
After Zhou Yu saw historical celebrities one after another, he also paid a lot of attention to this sense of familiarity, and immediately squinted his eyes slightly and fell into contemplation.
"It can't be him......"
After thinking for a while, Zhou Yu's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he was frightened by his own speculation.
But he didn't remember that person had been to the New World, to New York......
However, we can't be careless, after all, the historical process of this world has begun to deviate and advance because of his intervention.
Zhou Yu no longer hesitated when he thought of this, and walked towards the back of the stage.
"Sir, please wait in the lawn area, the auction will begin soon."
A waiter in a vest bowed down to stop Zhou Yu and very politely prevented him from entering the backstage.
"I'm sorry, I'm looking for someone, a friend of mine said that he had an upset stomach and went to the bathroom and hasn't come back yet, he's thinner......"
Zhou Yu immediately described the appearance of the person he had just seen from a distance to the waiter.
"Oh, maybe I've met your friend, he seems to be gone."
"What? Left? ”
After receiving the waiter's affirmative reply again, Zhou Yu could only glance at the exit of Central Park from a distance and returned to the venue thoughtfully.
The auction is about to begin.
