Xiao Zheng stayed in the hotel until the afternoon. He made up for three hours of sleep during that time. When he walked out of the hotel with Sofia, he was full of energy and vigor.
The weather in New York was very warm. Sitting in Sophia's limousine, Xiao Zheng could not help but open the window and breathe in the warm, fresh air.
"Where are we going?" Xiao Zheng said lazily.
Attending Justin's family dinner tomorrow night was the biggest political task of his trip. Of course, it was also a way to benefit himself and Xin Ao. As for today, Xiao Zheng basically had nothing to do.
"Shall we go to my house?" Sophia tilted her head and smiled. "My two assistants talk about you every day, sir."
Xiao Zheng said guiltily, "I still have to stay in New York for a while. There's no hurry …"
This was how things were. They missed it after a long time and thought that they could work 24 hours a day. But once they started, they would be restrained. They did not want to overexert themselves.
Sophia smiled and said, "With me around, they wouldn't dare to."
Sophia might be amiable and did not have a temper. But that was only in front of Xiao Zheng. A few years ago, even Xiao Zheng was a little afraid. Sophia was listed as a highly dangerous person.
How did the founder of Fox Hunting die?
In the end, he was still schemed to death by this bold and black-bellied woman. And he almost lost Xiao Zheng's life.
In the afternoon, Sofia took Xiao Zheng for a stroll and then chose a restaurant with a quiet and elegant environment for dinner. After that, she drove Xiao Zheng back to the hotel. She did not hesitate to stay for the night.
Sophia was not idle. She was busy with hunting the fox with one hand and managing the company with the other. But it was rare for Xiao Zheng to come to New York. As the host, she had to serve Xiao Zheng well from the soul to the body.
At half past twelve, Sophia crawled out of the blanket and scraped the unknown liquid at the corner of her lips. She rested her head on Xiao Zheng's arm and said coquettishly, "Justin also invited me to his family dinner. I heard that many celebrities in New York are VIPs. It doesn't look like it's paving the way for you. "
Xiao Zheng exhaled a mouthful of foul air as he squinted his eyes and said, "He's a Wall Street tycoon, after all. How can he blatantly pave the way for me? You call yourselves a free country. However, there are some things that you can't go overboard with. "
Sophia glanced at Xiao Zheng. "You mean —"
"Even if Justin helps me, he will only do it in secret. This time, he invited me to participate in his family banquet, mainly to pass on his friendship with me to the outside world. At least let the outside world know that he and I are not enemies. "
Sophia nodded and said, "It's possible." After a pause, she said regretfully. "Now that you mention it, Justin, this family dinner seems very boring."
"Who knows?" Xiao Zheng smiled. "Maybe it really is that boring."
It was a silent night.
The next afternoon, Sofia changed into an elegant evening gown. Although it was a family dinner, New York's celebrities had gathered. Another Wall Street tycoon, Justin. It was no smaller than those charity galas. In fact, it was even more valuable.
It was easy to guess that the celebrities would dress up and compete with each other. In this regard, Sofia was no exception. She had the most primitive mentality of a woman.
The car was still arranged by Sofia. Although Xin Ao had an office in New York, it was not small. But Xiao Zheng's purpose was to keep a low profile and did not intend to make a big scene.
By the time the two arrived at Justin's mansion, the sky was already turning gray. As soon as they entered the mansion, the first thing that came into view was not the magnificent Todd Manor. Instead, it was a dazzling array of top-notch luxury cars. RVs, old cars, sports cars, everything was there. The lowest was a million, and the highest was tens of millions. It was even grander than the top car shows. Even the rich ladies who came out of the luxury cars were ten thousand times better than the car models who only knew how to sell their bodies. It was truly sparkling with starlight, exceptionally resplendent.
Justin had dominated Wall Street for decades and was the only business tycoon who could compete with Gandalf. He also had a considerable amount of influence in the US political world. If the murder of his daughter, Carida, happened in New York or any other state in the US, Justin could calmly bail his daughter out. This was his status in the US. Lofty and revered by others.
A rough calculation showed that there were at least forty to fifty guests invited to this so-called family dinner. There were young men and women, and there was no shortage of successful middle-aged men. Although Xiao Zheng and Sofia had a lot of influence in the industry, in this family dinner where the rich gathered. The halo on their bodies was not eye-catching. It could only be regarded as above average.
Especially Xiao Zheng. Although his creation, Xin Ao, was popular all over the world. But his global fame was not even comparable to Lu Dashan, let alone Lin Laoyao.
Fortunately, Xiao Zheng was not the kind of person who would get cocky just because he had some achievements. Even when Hua Xia attended similar events, he was used to keeping a low profile. There was no desire to call the wind and call the rain, and no ambition to be the center of attention. He had probably been influenced by Elder Lin. It was a good thing.
But sometimes, the more you wanted to keep a low profile, the more people didn't want you to have a glass of wine and some desserts in peace.
Xiao Zheng and Sophia had just entered the main hall and had not had time to taste Justin's private collection of wine. A few golden-haired youths in fresh clothes surrounded him.
They were obviously New Yorkers. All of them had blonde hair and blue eyes, and an outstanding temperament. Their every movement had the demeanor of a famous family. However, the way he looked at Xiao Zheng was clearly filled with enmity.
With Xiao Zheng's powerful memory, he was sure that he had never dealt with these young masters. Not to mention making enemies. He just tilted his head and chatted with Sofia in a low voice, hoping to drive these young people away with his indifference. To avoid unnecessary trouble.
After all, this was New York, not Xiao Zheng's territory. And the people present were all celebrities in New York, people who could get an invitation to Justin's family dinner. Which one of them was easy to deal with? Which one was strong on the outside but weak on the inside?
Xiao Zheng wasn't arrogant enough to think he was invincible.
But when the group of young masters saw Xiao Zheng act like he didn't see them, they approached him more aggressively. Until the blonde young man in the lead stood in front of Xiao Zheng. Xiao Zheng had to face these young masters.
"Do we know each other?" Xiao Zheng didn't smile.
He didn't like to cause trouble, but he wasn't afraid of trouble. These people clearly wanted to cause trouble. Xiao Zheng couldn't be bothered to feign civility.
"You may not know me. But I've heard of Mr. Xiao's name a long time ago, "the blonde young man in the lead said with narrowed eyes.
"Francis. Why didn't you stay in the army? Why did you come to Mr. Justin's family dinner? "Sofia questioned. She was introducing this person to Xiao Zheng.
A soldier. His family background was also very strong. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to get an invitation to Justin's family dinner.
Secondly, this person had come from the army to attend this family dinner. He was obviously targeting Xiao Zheng.
"Miss Sofia. I'm just chatting with Mr. Xiao. Is there a need to be so agitated? "Francis seemed to be playing it down, but there was a deeper meaning in his words. "Could it be that Mr. Xiao is your sugar baby — Smack!"
Before he finished speaking, Francis felt as if a red-hot iron had been branded on the left side of his face. A burning pain pierced through his heart.
And on this red-hot branding iron, two words were impressively engraved: Humiliation!
