Justin's family banquet had opened up the scene for Xiao Zheng, and it had also attracted the attention of these celebrities to a certain extent. Donnie, on the other hand, was willing to support Xiao Zheng at all costs, so he would definitely send people to investigate Xiao Zheng's background.
This was the effect of connections.
It was also the foundation of Xiao Zheng's current foothold in Wall Street, the global financial center.
Although Sophia did not bring much help to Xiao Zheng in this aspect, the underground business she controlled had once again earned a considerable amount of money for Xiao Zheng's private account. Even if Xiao Zheng had nothing now, he could use this money to set up his own business and make a name for himself at the fastest speed.
"Xiao Zheng, you can use this money to make some hidden investments. You can also leave it to me to manage, and I will help you stabilize your income. At least it's better than eating bank interest, "Sophia hesitated and said with pursed lips. "You don't have to think of ways to launder the money and put it into Xin Ao."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng frowned and looked at Sophia. "What are you trying to say?"
"I hope you have a way out for yourself," Sophia said softly. "It seems that you are like a fish in water in Hua Xia, and you have a strong background and strength. But in front of you is the more powerful Lin Chaotian. His strength is far more terrifying than yours now. If you lose, you are likely to have nothing. And this money is enough for you to make a comeback. "
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Are you not going to give me the subsequent profits?"
Sophia shook her head gently and said, "I just don't want you to put all your eggs in one basket."
Xiao Zheng understood Sophia's concern.
What she was worried about was nothing more than being defeated by Lin Chaotian and then being kicked out. And if that day really came, no matter how many connections Xiao Zheng had, he was afraid that he would not be able to stop Lin Chaotian's rage.
Because — other than a few people who would offer help in times of need, most people could only guarantee that they would not hit him when he was down.
The true meaning of 'everyone kicks a man when he's down' had long been perfected by the bloody reality, and everyone knew about it.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. I'm prepared for the worst. "
Sofia opened her mouth, but in the end, she stopped trying to persuade him.
What he had said tonight already made him look like a villain. Since Xiao Zheng had his own plans, he didn't want to delve into this topic. Sofia wouldn't force others to do things against their will.
Moreover, she never thought that Xiao Zheng would lose. Along the way, Xiao Zheng had proven his strength time and time again with his brilliant methods.
On the other hand, even if one day in the future, Xiao Zheng lost to an undefeatable expert under the blue sky and white clouds. With a shake of his body, he would become the true King of the Night, ruling over the underground world.
What did he have to worry about?
Shaking her head gently, Sofia looked at the scenery outside the window, lost in thought.
In the next few days, Xiao Zheng met several groups of Wall Street tycoons under Justin's arrangement. Although it was just a simple meal and they talked about some insignificant topics. But at least it made Xiao Zheng a familiar face in this place where capitalists gathered. The next time he attended a large-scale banquet, he wouldn't be treated as a stranger.
"Sometimes, going too far is as bad as not going far enough. You still need to manage it yourself." Justin smiled.
"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded and took a sip of red wine. "Sorry to trouble you these few days, Mr. Justin."
"You deserve it." Justin smiled.
Xiao Zheng smiled and suddenly changed the topic. He pursed his lips and asked, "Mr. Justin, I'd like to ask you about someone."
"Hmm?" Justin asked curiously.
"Zhao Gao." Xiao Zheng asked. "Do you know him?"
"Zhao Gao …" Justin's pupils suddenly constricted as he said meaningfully. "You've already met him?"
"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded.
"Xiao Zheng, my personal advice is to stay as far away from him as possible," Justin said slowly. "He's dangerous. And abnormally powerful. He's a true powerhouse. "
"Who is he?" Xiao Zheng asked even though he already knew the answer.
In fact, other than knowing from King Ling Lai that Zhao Gao was the follower of the world's strongest powerhouse, Zhao Changfeng, he knew nothing about this person.
"He's a powerhouse who hides behind the scenes. He had an inexhaustible amount of wealth. He's proficient in many languages. Even an arrogant person like Dong Zang is very low-key and reserved in front of him. "Justin swirled the red wine glass and said with squinted eyes. "Although he has never introduced himself to outsiders, I know that he's from the Zhao Family. And he's extremely authoritative. He can even control the actions of the Zhao Family. "
Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "So, the actions of the descendants of the Zhao Family are all arranged by him?"
"I can't guarantee that." Justin shook his head. "The descendants of the Zhao Family have always been mysterious. What I know is just the tip of the iceberg. But what I can be sure of is that Zhao Gao's status in the Zhao Family is quite high. Even Qiu Shou will call him Master Zhao when he sees him. "
Xiao Zheng drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp, pursed his lips and said, "I don't know how he and Lin Chaotian will talk about seniority."
Hearing this, Justin was taken aback, and then said bitterly, "Speaking of which, Lin Chaotian and the descendants of the Zhao Family are equally mysterious. No one knows what they're going to do. It doesn't matter. "
After finishing the itinerary arranged by Justin, Xiao Zheng rested in the hotel for another day. Only then did he remember that Jiang Qing was also working in a foreign country like him.
He talked to Jiang Qing on the phone two days ago. Because Minister Gong was in New York on business, she accompanied him the whole time. It seemed that they would go to the embassy in Washington in a few days.
And Minister Gong's recent resting place was the general consulate in New York.
Generally speaking, the embassy represented national interests. It was mainly responsible for the political, economic, cultural, scientific and other exchanges between the two countries. And the consulate that people often talked about was mainly responsible for local expatriates and other consular affairs.
In times of war, the embassy had to be evacuated. And the consulate had the right to stay in place to protect the rights and interests of the expatriates. Such an international rule was also a kind of humane behavior.
Xiao Zheng took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Qing. He hoped to have a meal with her before returning home. And also to say hello to Minister Gong.
But he didn't expect that after several calls, Jiang Qing didn't answer.
He was puzzled, thinking that Hua Xia would certainly become hostile to the United States to some extent because of the attitude of the Tokyo government. He couldn't help but worry. So he directly dialed the private number left by Minister Gong.
However, no one picked up the call.
Xiao Zheng's heart suddenly tightened.
Both of them didn't answer the phone at the same time. Something must have gone wrong!
But this was not Hua Xia, and Xiao Zheng didn't have so many resources to deploy. He could only quickly call Sophia and ask her to help find out information.
It didn't take long for Sophia's call to come in.
As soon as he picked up, he heard Sophia's anxious voice. "There was a shooting at the Hua Xia consulate in New York. Several Hua Xia officials died on the spot. At present, the news has been strictly blocked. The consulate is in a mess! "
