The reception was like a celebration party.
Even though they have paid a great price, compared with the disintegrated Bezos interest group, the ward family has won a complete victory in this dispute, safeguarded the family's authority and demonstrated their greatness to the outside world.
Oriental culture.
Top floor of Warner Center.
On the iconic New York skyline.
The banquet hall is full of guests.
Representatives of the major chaebol forces came to support it.
"If terrorists attack here, the American economy will have to go back ten years."
"No, these people are still young and don't have much power in their hands. However, if someone attacks here, I'm afraid the impact will not be smaller than that of 9 / 11. At least it will cause the anger of the whole upper class and the end will be much worse than that of benla lamp."
Chen Liang and Vera shuttle through the crowd.
Chen Liang is dressed in a gray suit and Vera is dressed in a fishtail evening dress. Although she is not a golden girl, at least she will not create a sense of disobedience with flowers and cow dung.
As Vera said, all the people around were young except for their prominent backgrounds, which made the party look less dull and restrained.
"Isn't that your ex boyfriend?"
Chen Liang looked in a direction and raised his eyebrows.
"What ex boyfriend, that's a fool."
Vera disdained.
Sure enough, after a woman turns her face, she is far more ruthless than a man.
you 're right.
Sean Rockefeller also came. He was chatting with a blonde with a glass of champagne. From the smile on his face, he seemed to be in a good mood, as if he had forgotten the humiliation scolded by Chen lianghumiliation that day.
"It seems that Rockefeller and your family have reconciled."
Chen Liang smiled.
"Do you know what Melissa is best at?"
"What?"
Vera sneered: "please outsiders and suppress your own people."
Chen Liang smiled.
"Vera, it's not a good habit to speak ill of people behind their backs. I told you about this problem long ago."
A cold voice sounded from behind.
"Am I not telling the truth? Who knows what 'unequal treaties' you have signed?"
Vera was not surprised. She looked back at Melissa who came in front of her, and the sarcasm in her eyes was not hidden.
It's really too tired to pretend like before.
How good is it like this?
Everyone is relaxed.
Melissa glanced calmly at Sean in the distance.
"Bow down is not a disgrace, but a kind of wisdom, especially when the situation is not as good as others. The end of Bezos group is a clear example. Striving for Rockefeller's friendship is what I must do, but I did not betray the interests of my family."
"Oh."
Vera sneered.
"Who knows if what you said is true."
"No investigation, no voice."
Melissa looked bland.
"If you slander and frame up again, don't blame me for letting the security guard invite you out. Don't forget, you're not a family member long ago."
Today, she is wearing a black Strapless evening dress, revealing her delicate collarbone, and wearing a dazzling gem necklace on her white slender neck, just like a high queen.
Clothes and jewelry can be bought with money, but temperament can't be bought.
In terms of beauty, Vera is actually no worse than her cousin, but when they stand together, the eyes of the crowd will definitely focus on Melissa for the first time.
She seems to be born for focus.
Such a woman is really enough to make most men in the world feel ashamed.
"Drive me out. If you hadn't invited me, I wouldn't have bothered to come!"
Vera refuted.
"I didn't invite you."
Melissa corrected her inhumanity.
"I only invited him."
"You..."
Vera's chest was blocked and her little face turned red.
"Miss Melissa, everyone is here to cheer you up. Vera and I are the same. Don't make a noise here. Don't let people see a joke."
In order to prevent the conflict from escalating, Chen Liang made a sound and played a round game.
Melissa's eyes moved towards him.
"Don't forget, I'm just wiping your ass."
"No one forced you. You can only blame yourself for your stupidity. If you have the ability, tell everyone that you didn't kill Bezos."
Although I may have put down my heart knot, the resentment of so many years can not be easily swept away in a short time.
Vera seems to be looking for trouble. She can't help but worry about whether Melissa will slap her again.
But this time, Melissa was calm, not angry, and seemed to ignore Vera's sarcasm.
The more she looked like this, the more uncomfortable Vera was. On the contrary, she would feel happy if Melissa slapped her in the face in public.
"Have you raised money for so many days? The second heir of the ward family, can't you take out this money?"
She tried to provoke and hit Melissa's bottom line.
"170 billion US dollars is not a small amount, and we have also suffered a lot of losses due to the retaliation of Bezos. More than 300 people were killed, thousands were injured, many mining areas were attacked, six listed companies were maliciously shorted, several steel factories were bombed, pensions for casualties and other items. It is conservatively estimated that the combined loss will reach 20 billion 。”
"Melissa, why are you telling us this? You don't want us to bear the losses for you?"
Vera has a bright smile, but she is cold.
"We are not wronged, and who knows if these data are true?"
Melissa looked at her indifferently.
Chen Liang felt that Melissa should not have lied.
Only at this time, money is not just a number.
More than 300 people died and thousands were injured, not including the casualties of Bezos's men.
A total loss of 20 billion.
This shows how exaggerated the price he asked for.
This is the real structure of the world.
For the superstructure, almost most disputes are just a game of money, but the people below may pay their lives for it.
"Miss Melissa, I'm sure you won't cheat on such a thing, so."
Chen Liang pondered and said seriously, "I really bear some responsibility for the loss of your family this time. I will bear half of the 20 billion. So you only need to pay me 160 billion."
What an industry model, shopping mall conscience.
With a light mouth, 10 billion will be exempted.
Melissa looked at him expressionless, as if moved.
"Why?!"
Vera was immediately dissatisfied.
"She caused trouble herself. Why should you pay for her!"
The two sing in harmony and cooperate seamlessly, which is a bit of a match made in heaven.
