What did I donate?! Li Zaian was very confused, but at this time he was embarrassed to ask more questions, so he could only take the flyer with a smile and continue walking in.
After walking for a while, he picked up the flyer and looked at it. The content above was very simple. It roughly means that the candy specially made for this charity party was sold for $500 each. All the sales revenue will be included in tonight's charity donation.
After reading it, Li Zaian raised the candy in his hand in confusion and lit it up. That means he only took one?
God! Keliya instinctively felt that the situation was not good. She opened her bag with a nervous expression and looked at the handful of candy inside.
Can this... be returned? Keliya looked at the dozen candies in her bag with a bitter expression. That was seven or eight thousand dollars!
When she was in Russia, she couldn't afford these candies even after working for ten years
Li Zaian rolled his eyes, said nothing, dragging her in. Although the candy was taken by Ke Liya, the woman's goal of thanking her just now was him. If he returned the candy, he would not have the shame to keep going in the social circle in New York.
After passing through the hall, there was the official party scene. Li Zaian and Keliya walked through the passage decorated with heavy curtains. As soon as they walked into the venue, they saw a stage at the farthest point, performing a musical and dance drama on the stage.
In the audience, there are round tables placed in a regular manner. Looking at this scene, it is just like the domestic Spring Festival Gala.
At this moment, there were already many people in the venue, all sitting scattered by the tables. Some of them sat more people around the tables, some were less, and many were empty.
But no matter whether there are many people or few people, there are three or two seats reserved by each table.
In such occasions, you cannot squeeze out empty seats. If you see only three or two seats left beside a table, you cannot sit at that table. They have reserved it for the venue.
After all, this kind of party has a strong purpose of communicating. Many people will take this opportunity to meet more people. If a table is full of people, the person who tries to talk to you later will be very embarrassed.
Li Zai'an didn't have many acquaintances in New York, so he just found an empty table near the corner to sit down.
His purpose here today is to meet Miss Campbell, in addition to meeting him, he also intends to gain fame through auctions, and does not intend to socialize with others
After a while, he just needs to stare at the auction. At that time, he will pick up the cards a few more times and shout a few high prices, and he will naturally get the live broadcast footage of the TV station.
Every dining table in the venue has been laid out long ago, both dessert and fruit are very rich
As soon as they sat down at the table, a waiter wearing a white vest came over, and a bottle of red wine lying in his arms with a white towel.
The waiter walked to the table, bent down with a very demeanor, pouring wine into the wine glass in front of them.
Keliya was born in poverty since childhood and had never attended such a big scene. She was a little restrained at first, but her attention was quickly attracted by the rich desserts on the table. Young girls like to eat this food.
What is this? Seeing a card standing next to each plate of dessert, she picked up one at a glance.
Oh, God! Keriya only glanced at the card, then covered her mouth and exclaimed
Li Zaian curiously took the card over and took a look. The above is an introduction to this dessert. The roughly meaning is: This dessert was made by the royal chef of the Elysee Palace in France, and is the world's top dessert.
After pretending to be polite, seeing that Li Zaian had no appetite, Ke Liya gave up her reserve and attacked these rich desserts.
For her, she has not had the opportunity to enjoy such luxurious desserts in the past twenty years, so of course she can't feel wronged now.
They sat by the table for less than ten minutes, and many people came in one after another. Perhaps because the table was too biased, no one sat at their table.
Finally, a woman in a silver-gray backless evening dress entered the venue and walked towards their table in a swaying manner.
This woman is very tall, half a head taller than Li Zaian. She looks about thirty years old
A woman's face is very beautiful, with clear lines on her face, with big eyes that are fascinating, and her eyes are blue.
Her hair was draped over her shoulders, of course, her hair was probably a few inches longer than the army required
The woman walked to the table with a generous look and sat down, smiled and nodded and said: Hello, Mr. Paul! I am the one who asked you to meet here this time.
Good evening, Miss Campbell! This is my female bodyguard, Miss Keliya. Li Zai'an is very gentlemanly and introduces both parties.
Just as the two women were greeting each other, the musical performance on the stage finally came to an end
Immediately, all the lights on the stage were lit up, and a large group of people walked onto the stage
Li Zaian was surprised to find that there were people he knew in this group - of course, it was just that he knew others, but they didn't know him.
Good guys, aren’t these people the production team of the popular movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day:: The male lead Arnold Schwarzenegger, the female lead Linda Hamilton, director James Cameron, producer Gale Anne Hurd...
Li Zaian suddenly realized that when he was driving here just now, he seemed to hear a lot of people shouting at the entrance of the theater, Linda, etc. It was probably the heroine who called him.
This big-produced science fiction movie just won two Oscars at the end of March, and its box office results were also the best in the United States. It can be called a phenomenal masterpiece
The group led by James Cameron stayed on stage for seven or eight minutes, and talked about some interesting stories about them during the filming of "Terminator 2", and then began to introduce the props they used during the filming.
For example, the mini machine gun and grenade gun models used by the governor, and some T800 and T1000 models, etc.
Seeing this, Li Zaian realized that the movie props of love will be auctioned tonight
Miss Campbell explained to them with a smile: Fashion and entertainment are always inseparable, and behind these two, money is always indispensable, so the charity party with celebrities in the financial world is naturally indispensable.
Campbell changed his words and asked: Mr. Paul, how do you feel about this city after coming to New York?
Li Zaian shrugged and said with a smile: For rich people, New York is of course a paradise. After I came to New York, I lived in an American mansion, drank French wine, drove a German car, and slept with Russian beauty. I was served by the four powerful countries every day. Can life not be moist
Campbell lowered his head and smiled, and continued: In the Naval Intelligence Bureau's archive room, various intelligence files related to you were filled with a file cabinet. After reading it, I was very curious. Your various operations in the financial market over the past year are a real investment genius. You have such a high investment talent, why do you risk your life to sell drugs?
Li Zaian sneered: You federal law enforcement personnel are always used to dividing the crowd into criminals and non-criminals, that is, what is usually called good people and bad people, and thus they have derived concepts such as noble and despicable. But I want to tell you, in fact, everything is just opportunity and choice.
The high crime rate in the slums of São Paulo does not mean that the people there are born bad guys, but because they have no choice, they have only two ways to go to make a name for themselves. They either play professional football or join the gang to deal with drugs.
Various gangs in Brazil recruit members from children. It can be said that children from lower-class families have joined gangs after they graduated from elementary school. The gangs also take great care of these minor children. As long as you really join the gang organization, it means you have countless relatives.
Someone will help you buy expensive birthday cakes that your parents won't buy for you on your birthday; someone will help you hold a birthday party; someone will stand up when you are bullied and shoot the other person's head with a gun; they will deliver you the newly released bread when you are hungry... In short, you have nothing before you join the gang, and after you join the gang, you will have everything.
Few children whose psychological development is not fully mature can refuse this temptation. This is why Brazilian gangs have been growing and growing. Of course, if these children can survive until they are twenty years old and still not dead, they can basically become a small leader.
Li Zaian looked at her beautiful big eyes and said slowly: A year ago, like those children in the slums, I had no right to choose. I either stayed in prison and waited for death, or joined a drug cartel to fight for a bloody path.
What a terrible world we live in. This society cruelly divides people into different levels. The small group of people at the highest level can enjoy more than 90% of the material and spiritual supply. Then as the level gradually decreases, the bottom-level people who account for more than 90% of the total population can only barely maintain their survival, but the spiritual supply is almost zero
After walking for a while, he picked up the flyer and looked at it. The content above was very simple. It roughly means that the candy specially made for this charity party was sold for $500 each. All the sales revenue will be included in tonight's charity donation.

God! Keliya instinctively felt that the situation was not good. She opened her bag with a nervous expression and looked at the handful of candy inside.
Can this... be returned? Keliya looked at the dozen candies in her bag with a bitter expression. That was seven or eight thousand dollars!
