In the evening.
After a day of shopping, Zhang Zian and the elfins returned to the guest house. He heated the roast turkey in the microwave, then cut it up and distributed it to the elfins. As for Snowy Lionet, it enjoyed the raw boar meat alone.
While the elfins were eating, he had to take a shower and give Famous a bath. Then he would change into a suit and go to the gala dinner held by the Matthew Davis Foundation.
After the bath, the elfins also finished eating and lay down to digest their food.
The soft afterglow of the setting sun shone into the house from the west, and the temperature was dropping.
He changed his clothes and tied a bow tie and collar for Famous. He would take off the collar and leash after entering the venue.
Since they were basically walking in Chinatown during the day, the elfins were tired, full, and a little dispirited. They were not very interested in the cold dinner party, except for Richard, who had not eaten anything yet.
He put the other elfins into his phone, leaving only Richard and Famous. Vladimir was still playing outside.
It was not appropriate to squeeze the bus or subway in a dress, and it was not convenient to bring pets, so he reluctantly called an Uber to take him, Famous, and the invisible Richard to the venue hotel.
The hotel was brightly lit. From time to time, private cars and taxis stopped at the door, and well-dressed handsome men and beautiful women got out. The men were all in formal dresses, and occasionally there were suits. The women were in glamorous evening gowns, politely revealing their backs, thighs, and half of their breasts.
As soon as Zhang Zian got out of the car with the dog, he immediately attracted the attention of the reception staff and security guards.
He showed the invitation letter and his passport to prove his identity.
The reception staff and security guards heard that this dog was the star of Dog Warrior, and they all squatted down to take photos with it.
Famous had long been used to it. It did not refuse and skillfully posed in various poses.
The guests who arrived one after another saw people rushing to take photos with the dog. After asking around and learning the identity of Famous, they also rushed to take photos with it. After all, this was San Francisco, not Los Angeles where movie stars were everywhere.
"Hey! You're here! "
The tall Eddie Lewis came over and shook hands with Zhang Zian. Seeing that Famous was surrounded by people, he looked at him helplessly and smiled.
Eddie had gotten to know Zhang Zian when he went to Binhai City. The two of them chatted casually while Famous was taking pictures with them. Eddy introduced him to the foundation's current situation and future development direction. Since Zhang Zian was a donor, he had the right to know where his money was being used.
Zhang Zian didn't quite understand, but he still responded politely with a smile.
The banquet was about to start. Eddy and Zhang Zian had to separate the crowd and enter the venue with Famous.
In the banquet hall of the hotel, there were long dining tables covered with white cloth. High-level bands played soft music, and all kinds of cold food were placed on the tables. Waiters carried plates and shuttled through the crowd.
The people who attended this kind of banquet were not there to eat. They were all using this kind of place where celebrities gathered to socialize, strengthen the friendship of old friends, make new friends, and perhaps help them in business in the future.
Richard didn't care. It was invisible, and no one could see it. It fluttered its wings and landed on the dining table.
"By the way, come here. I'll introduce someone to you."
Without waiting for an explanation, Eddy dragged Zhang Zian to a corner of the hall excitedly.
However, what Zhang Zian never expected was that the person standing there talking to a few foreigners was actually Peter Lee.
When Peter Lee saw Zhang Zian, his expression instantly froze.
Eddy saw that the two of them didn't look right and asked, "What's wrong? Do you know each other? "
"Haha! More than just knowing each other! We've been through life and death together. We've been through life and death together! I just didn't expect Jeff to be a donor to this foundation! " Peter Lee laughed and put his arm around Zhang Zian's shoulder, pretending to be intimate. "What a great dress! It's good to be young! "
"Thank you."
Zhang Zian took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray and drank it to hide the mixed feelings in his heart. He kept a smile on his face and casually responded to the pleasantries.
"Oh, that's great." Eddy breathed a sigh of relief. "Both of you will be speaking on stage in a while – Peter as the most generous donor of the year, and Jeff will bring us a story about a cat owner."
Even if Eddy didn't pull them together, the two of them would see each other when they went on stage. Since they were here, they couldn't hide.
At that moment, Eddy was a little worried that there was an old grudge between them, but now that he saw that they seemed to get along very well, he was finally relieved. He didn't expect that Zhang Zian and Peter Lee were actually in the same bed.
Zhang Zian didn't know how much money Peter Lee had donated to get this honor, but he didn't want to deal with this fraud again, especially after witnessing the scene in Chinatown during the day.
Fortunately, Peter Lee didn't know that he had seen him during the day. He thought that this was the first time they had met after escaping from the desert.
Peter Lee didn't expect to meet Zhang Zian here. Then he saw the guests coming over in groups of three or five to take photos with Famous. He said in surprise, "Your dog is that big star? You were so tight-lipped in the desert? "
Zhang Zian didn't deliberately introduce Famous to others in the desert, so Peter Lee always thought it was just an ordinary German Shepherd. Anyway, German Shepherds all looked the same. He always thought that Zhang Zian was an ordinary person who helped the expedition team. He didn't expect him to be the owner of this star dog.
"Nothing, I just don't think it's necessary to say." He casually responded, but he was secretly complaining. Since Peter Lee knew his true identity, it would be easy to find the address of the pet shop. Who knew when he would visit.
Peter Lee gave him a meaningful look and asked a few insignificant questions, such as Zhang Zian's next itinerary, when he planned to return to China, and so on. Zhang Zian pretended to be polite, but he basically didn't say a word of truth.
After a few words, Peter Lee temporarily left to talk to the newly arrived celebrities in San Francisco. It could be seen that he had a wide range of contacts, and many people really fell for it. From time to time, there was hearty laughter.
Zhang Zian sighed at his bad luck, but there was nothing he could do. He could only take things as they came. When the celebration officially began, it was his turn to go on stage. He took Famous to the stage and told the story of Cathy to the crowd, winning a lot of applause and tears.
Then, he used the excuse that he was not feeling well and left the venue early with Richard and Famous before the celebration was over.
