The Rothschild family, this name may be unfamiliar to most ordinary people. Because in the age of mass media, people's eyes may only pay attention to such prestigious names as "Rockefeller" or "Morgan Family".
But in fact, outside the sight of all the people, this legendary family name is the terrifying giant who has controlled the economic lifeline of this planet for nearly two centuries!
Needless to say too much, just two examples are enough to illustrate the horror of this family: first... In the nineteenth century, there were six great powers in Europe! They are the British Empire, Prussia (later Germany), Austria-Hungary, France, Russia... and... the Rothschild family! The Rothschild family also has a prominent nickname, the "Sixth Empire".
Second... In the United States before World War II in the twentieth century, there was a classic saying to describe the United States at that time: "The Democratic Party belongs to the Morgan family, while the Republican Party belongs to the Rockefeller family..." In fact, this sentence should be followed by the sentence "and Rockefeller and Morgan belong to Rothschild!"
The problem is that few people know the truth: at the beginning, Rockefeller was supported by the Rothschild family to rise, and then the Rockefeller family gradually grew some wings and became disobedient. Rothschild Only then did the German family take over the Morgan family to restrict Rockefeller! ! Essentially speaking from the very beginning, these two world-famous families who are familiar to the public are actually the spokespersons appointed by Rothschild!
Rothschild, a family that is almost terrifyingly brilliant! But it has always been hidden behind the world...
And at the same time...they were Jewish too! From the state-building movement in Israel, to the US government's supportive attitude towards Israel for decades... everything has traces of this family's involvement!
If we talk about the most powerful family in the United States or the world, then it is definitely not Rockefeller or Morgan. As for the Kennedy family and the like, they are puppets among puppets, side branches of side branches.
Although I still can't confirm whether the young man in front of me is from the Rothschild family, at least it is absolutely necessary to maintain some respect in front of such a man who looks like he is full of family demeanor!
And two minutes later, my guess was answered!
"Oh, Martin, you really know how to joke...but you spend money much faster than you make money." This is Li Wenjing's casual joke.
That Martin smiled lightly: "Yes, actually, I'm afraid I'm the 'Rothschild' with the biggest difference between the ability to make money and the speed at which money is spent in the family. You see, in order to run this club, I have been It’s pouring money into it.”
My heart moves! Sure enough, he was indeed a member of the Rothschild family!
This name is still very unfamiliar to the public, but it is actually well-known in the upper-class circles! It's just that they, who controlled the media, chose wisely not to expose themselves to any media!
The party started soon. Some of the most beautiful top supermodels in Hollywood received special invitations. Many of them were global fashion darlings who often appeared on the covers of fashion magazines. There were also some Hollywood female stars. Add to that some celebs who love the life of the party...and that's what George Clooney is throwing tonight.
In fact, with George Clooney's career, he can't be regarded as a first-line superstar, but he is a natural social master and an expert in party organization.
Obviously, in this place tonight, those Hollywood bigwigs have become the focus of being chased by celebrities, beauties and supermodels. Within half an hour, I saw George walking in front of me with one hand on the shoulder of a beautiful woman. Still holding the cigar in his hand, seeing that he was still alone, he couldn't help frowning, and then smiled: "Hey, dear Chen, what's the matter with you tonight? I've never seen you so lonely... Oh, let me think, Why isn't Jessica with you tonight? Well... by the way, what about the beautiful Miss Yang beside you?"
He does not mean that.
George's last words made Li Wenjing and Li Wenjing, who was sitting not far away, change slightly at the same time. George said a few more words, then suddenly slapped his forehead, as if remembering something, he hugged the two beauties and left laughingly, and then saw him directing someone to bring out an old-fashioned record player, and played a piece of the previous song. The classic music that was popular in Hollywood in the 1920s and 1930s led the two beauties to dance in the middle of the hall.
With this person in the lead, many handsome men and beauties beside him also joined in to reminisce about the classic Hollywood dance steps of the last world.
As for those sitting on the surrounding sofas, I, Li Wenjing, and Martin seemed to be the only ones left.
Both Li Wenjing and I were a little embarrassed, especially when George mentioned Yang Wei just now. Martin looked at us with a smile, but then he said, "Well, my gentlemen, you've had enough of a dull night, and if you go on like this you'll make the girls around you Very disappointed. Especially you, Chen, do you know how many girls have been secretly looking at you in the past few minutes?"
At this time, a man dressed as a waiter came over and whispered something in Martin's ear. Martin nodded and smiled at us apologetically: "Excuse me."
After he left, the atmosphere between Li Wenjing and I suddenly became awkward.
The two of us sat for a while, and couldn't help but lift the wine glass in front of us at the same time, and then glanced at each other's actions, and then put down the wine glass at the same time... Such an embarrassing move, but in the end it made us both laugh at the same time out.
"Chen Yang... I didn't expect that we would meet under such circumstances one day." Li Wenjing was the first to return to normal after all, he was the son of an aristocratic family. He shrugged and looked at me: "Tell me, the relationship between you and Yang Wei What the hell is going on? I remember you should be with Qiao Qiao, aren't you?" There was a bit of anger in his eyes, which I could see.
Is there anything in this world that can arouse a man's anger more than a love rival's questioning
I looked at him, and although I felt a little upset, I still had a very calm expression on my face: "Sorry, I don't have the habit of confessing my personal feelings to outsiders."
Li Wenjing, who has always been a handsome man in my impression, has finally shown his edge! He leaned back slightly, playing with the crystal goblet in his hand, and squinted at me at the same time: "Chen Yang, I remember when we first met, I still had a good impression of you. But I also admit that I didn't think that in just two or three years, you could climb to your current position... I really didn't think about it. Even from the first time I saw Jojo with you, I I knew that my first fiancée loved you in his heart. But I never thought that my second fiancée would be snatched away by you."
I didn't speak.
"It turns out that I have always admired you." Li Wenjing raised his chin slightly: "You are an excellent person... and I still think so. But, I have to say, you are not suitable for Yang Wei at all. No, it should be said, You're not right for her. Do you know what I mean?"
I sneered and didn't say anything.
"I don't say this out of idle jealousy." Li Wenjing sighed suddenly, his voice was somewhat sincere, although there was still some hostility: "You and she are not from the same world. It will be difficult for you to get together in the end And... Yang Wei is too smart a woman, and the man she needs is a man who can let her fully display her talent! But you don't have this kind of strength! She is too smart and too strong. So there is Sometimes, even though she doesn't notice it sometimes, she can't help but get used to controlling everything. And you... Chen Yang, I have studied your development trajectory in the big circle, and you are also a powerful figure. You I'm not used to making compromises, and I don't like to take orders from others... In this way, it will be difficult for you and Yang Wei to care about you."
"What are you trying to say?" I looked at Li Wenjing and frowned.
"What I want to say is... What Yang Wei needs is a platform where she can fully display herself." Li Wenjing seemed to be laughing at himself, then he raised his glass and gestured to me. Very simply, he lightly clinked the wine glass with him. Then Li Wenjing said quietly: "The family I was born in is destined to bear a responsibility in my life. The education and training I have received since childhood are all preparations for me to inherit the family business in the future. Even my Recreational activities, such as playing cards, horseback riding, tennis, music, wine tasting, etc... These are all training for future social activities. Everything is carried out around the future interests of the family. This kind of life, outside It may look very beautiful to people, but if you experience it yourself, you will feel that it is really boring."
I took a sip of my wine, and even though I didn't know why Li Wenjing wanted to tell me this, I didn't interrupt him and let him continue.
"I studied one degree after another, and then started to take over some family businesses and do some simple things. These are all training processes. But for me, these are boring and even disgusting." Li Wenjing shrugged his shoulders, and a complicated expression appeared on his face: "You know what? I used to hate riding horses the most. Because I was afraid of getting close to any big animals when I was young. But the person in charge of training me told me , for the future business of the family in Europe, in order to deal with those European aristocrats who like horse riding, I must learn and master this sport! And once, in order to let me overcome my fear of horses, they actually locked me in the stable Let me sleep with the horse all night!"
My heart skipped a beat, looking at Li Wenjing's expression, there was no trace of fakery. I just don't understand why he told me this
"When I met Yang Wei, we were still young. In fact, in her family, a girl like Yang Wei was raised as a chess piece for future marriages. But Yang Wei An anomaly! Do you know what I mean? The girl learned to resist from a young age when the etiquette teachers, dance teachers, and flower arranging, art, literature, painting, music, etc. were taught to her! On the contrary, she has shown a rare talent for business! Since I first met her, I have been completely fascinated by her! Do you know why?" Before I could speak, Li Wenjing said the answer himself: "Because she and I were forcibly indoctrinated by the family to accept the education that was given by Ampere. The difference is that I did not resist and became a product produced by a family assembly line... Although I think it is much better than other products But she is completely different! She resisted, and the resistance succeeded!! She did not follow the original arrangement made for her by the family. Unlike other girls in the Yang family, she became a business genius , a strategic master! This is what makes me admire her very much! At the same time, I also deeply envy her."
Li Wenjing squinted his eyes, as if recalling: "You know when I first met her, she asked me what my greatest interest was when I was young, how did I answer it? I told her that I liked football since I was a child." .However, that kind of sports that relies on strong body collisions and is almost barbaric is not in line with our identity. So although I like it very much, people in my family strictly forbid me to engage in that sport! In the end, I was successfully After listening to my answer, Yang Wei looked at me unabashedly with a look of pity. That kind of look is really exciting, because I have always asked myself very well! I don’t think so A girl is entitled to scorn me. Then I asked her the same question... I asked her: What was your greatest interest as a child. Her answer was: Playing people in the palm of your hand!"
Speaking of this, Li Wenjing looked at me and said with a smile: "Now, you see, she has indeed been doing this all the time! It can be said that my love for her is a kind of sympathy mixed with the same disease... But my love for her It is a kind of admiration and admiration for resisting success, a kind of admiration like looking up. It is because of this feeling that I have never been tempted by other women for so many years. Even for an outstanding girl like Jojo, I don’t What would you think?"
Speaking of this, Li Wenjing glanced at me: "And you ruined everything." He smiled wryly.
I was silent, but Li Wenjing shook his head: "I am indeed very annoyed with you now. But I will not take revenge on you like that kind of narrow-minded person, or curse you. Such things are meaningless. My only What I want to say to you is: treat her well, at least before you break up, treat her well. Otherwise, I will definitely use all my strength to revenge you. "
This time I was really surprised.
Does this Li Wenjing have such an open-minded heart
Noticing my strange expression, Li Wenjing didn't say anything, then he stood up, as if he was about to walk away. I couldn't help calling him: "Please wait a moment."
He looked at me, I thought about it, and then said to him seriously: "Li Wenjing, in fact, I have always had a good impression of you, maybe it sounds hypocritical. But at least before that, I have always been very grateful to you , because you have always appreciated me and tried to help me several times—in other words, fortunately, I have not received your help before, otherwise I really don’t know how to face you now. What I want to say is that in my Before I had a relationship with Yang Wei, I always thought in my heart that we could be friends. Of course, it’s impossible now. I don’t think we can still be friends in the relationship we have now. That would be too hypocritical.”
Then, I stared at him: "I talked to Yang Wei, you also know that I have encountered some troubles recently. I also know that Yang Wei went to you, right? She tried to ask you to come forward to help Me, I also know that you will show up in Los Angeles today, so you have agreed to her request, right?"
"... yes." Li Wenjing nodded.
"Hmph, it's really embarrassing..." I gently rubbed my temples as if mocking myself, then looked at Li Wenjing with a nonchalant smile: "You and I are in love with the same woman now, and the relationship has changed from a friend to a relationship." I have a rival in love. And under such circumstances, I almost accepted a huge favor from you...Of course, it was fortunately 'almost'."
Li Wenjing frowned, as if thinking of something: "You... Could it be you?"
"Yes!" I nodded, talking to smart people is to save energy, I mean Li Wenjing should have understood. But in order to avoid trouble, I still said it clearly!
I stood up, faced Li Wenjing, and slowly said: "I am a person with strong principles. There are some things that I absolutely cannot accept! Even under any circumstances! So, I think, in Under our current relationship, I don't think I can accept any help from you with peace of mind... even a little bit. So, Li Wenjing, I want to tell you very clearly: I didn't know that Yang Wei was so kind to you before. You said it. I don’t know what Yang Wei asked you to help me specifically. I don’t know how you promised her... But now, what I want to say to you personally is: I’m sorry, everything is cancelled. Yes! I'm sorry to make you come to Los Angeles, but I really don't need you to do anything for me. And I definitely don't want to accept any help from you, I think, smart you, it should be Understandable, right?"
Li Wenjing was stunned, he stared at me for a long time, and then suddenly laughed: "You mean, you unilaterally requested to release Yang Wei's request to me? Can I understand this?"
"That's right!" I answered him bluntly.
"Chen Yang..." Li Wenjing frowned: "Do you know how much trouble you have caused this time? The Gambino family is not easy to mess with. You need help now."
"But it definitely won't come from you." I added and firmly rejected him.
Li Wenjing stared at me for a while: "Does Yang Wei know?"
"It doesn't matter if you know it or not." I said lightly, "This is my business. I think I have the right to decide my own affairs at least. Moreover, there are some things that women don't understand."
Li Wenjing didn't say anything more, he gave me a complicated look, and then left.
I sat back on the sofa again, and suddenly felt a burst of relief in my heart!
I admit that Yang Wei was right when he argued with me today.
Therefore, I can go to the Gambino family to fight without getting too hotheaded.
However, whether to accept Li Wenjing's help is another matter!
Big deal I quit Hollywood! Big deal, I won't make this money anymore! ! However, accepting help from a rival in love, if I really do this, then I am not me!
In fact, in today's quarrel, some of my words are correct.
There are some things that belong to men, women will never understand!
When I thought of this, I couldn't help laughing and cursing at myself, and said to myself: "Damn, I'm following the good, and at the same time sticking to the principle! Hehe, what she said makes sense, I can listen to it. But it's a matter of principle. , still have to grasp it.”
I raised my neck and swallowed the wine in the glass in front of me, looked around, and suddenly felt that nothing was wrong. And I met Li Wenjing here tonight, accidentally solved a stone in my heart that had been suppressed for a day, and suddenly felt a lot easier, so I was ready to say goodbye and leave.
At this moment, a hand behind me pressed my shoulder. I looked sideways, and Martin walked back without knowing when.
He still smiled like a hospitable host: "Hey, Chen, what's the matter, are you leaving so early?"
Then the man surnamed Rothschild suddenly showed a strange smile. He looked around: "Where's Li? Did he leave first? Could there be any misunderstanding between you?"
"No." I shook my head. It is indeed not a misunderstanding, but an obvious contradiction.
"Okay, it's just the two of us now, how about we talk about some topics that both of us are interested in?" Martin smiled, and he took out a small wine bottle from behind: "Look, this is my treasure. A bottle of gin, although it may not look like much, but the taste is very good!"
I answered in a strange way: "Just like the Rothschild family?"
Martin smiled mysteriously, and he shook his head: "No, no, my family's low-key is our tradition. But I'm a different kind. My elders have said it. I'm afraid it's been more than two hundred years. The most unusual Rothschild family. Because I like to be close to these Hollywood stars all day long, and I am also the person closest to the spotlight of the media."
He poured me some wine, and said casually, "By the way, I heard that you seem to be in some trouble recently..."
