The family dinner arranged by Justin opened up the situation for Xiao Zheng and also attracted the attention of these celebrities to some extent. And Downey's desperate support for Xiao Zheng will make people try to find out Xiao Zheng's background.
This is the effect of connections.
This is also the basis for Xiao Zheng’s current foothold in Wall Street, the global financial center.
Although Sophia did not bring much help to Xiao Zheng in this regard, the underground business she controlled once again earned a considerable sum of money for Xiao Zheng's personal account. Even if Xiao Zheng has nothing now, he can rely on this capital to set up his own business and make a fortune as quickly as possible.
"Azheng, you can use the money to make invisible investments. You can also leave it to me, and I will help you stabilize your income. At least it is better than earning bank interest." Sophia hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips and said. "There is no need to find ways to launder money and invest it in ENN."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he frowned and glanced at Sophia: "What do you want to say?"
"I hope you leave a way out for yourself." Sophia said softly. "It seems that you are like a fish in water in China, with a very strong background and strength. But what stands in front of you is the more powerful Lin Chaotian. His strength is far more terrifying than you now. If you lose, you will be very It’s possible to have nothing. And this amount of money is enough to make a comeback.”
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Aren't you going to give me the subsequent profits?"
Sophia shook her head slightly and said, "I just don't want you to go all-in."
Xiao Zheng understood Sophia's worries.
All she worried about was that she would be defeated by Lin Chaotian and then expelled. And if that day comes, no matter how many connections Xiao Zheng has behind him, they may not be able to stop Lin Chaotian's rage.
Because - except for a very small number of people who will provide help in times of need, the vast majority can only ensure that they do not add insult to injury.
The truth that everyone pushed against the wall has been interpreted to perfection by the bloody reality time and time again, and everyone knows it.
Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern. I have prepared for the worst."
Sophia opened her mouth, but finally stopped trying to persuade.
What I said tonight seems to be a bit like being a villain in vain. Since Xiao Zheng had plans, he did not want to delve into this topic. Sophia will not force others to do anything.
What's more, she never thought Xiao Zheng would lose. Along the way, Xiao Zheng has used his clever skills to prove his strength time and time again.
On the contrary, even if one day in the future, Xiao Zheng loses to those strong men who cannot be defeated under the blue sky and white clouds. Once he changes his identity, he will become the true king of the night and rule the underworld.
What do you have to worry about
Shaking her head slightly, Sophia looked out the window at the street scene, dazed.
In the next few days, Xiao Zheng met with several groups of Wall Street giants under Justin's arrangement, although it was just for a simple meal and chatting about insignificant topics. But at least it made Xiao Zheng feel familiar in this place where capitalists gathered. Next time you attend a large dinner party, you won’t be treated like a stranger.
"Some things are too much and you still need to manage them yourself." Justin smiled.
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng nodded and took a sip of red wine. "Mr. Justin has been troubled these days."
"You deserve it." Justin smiled.
Xiao Zheng smiled, suddenly changed the topic, pursed his lips and asked: "Mr. Justin, I want to ask you about someone."
"Huh?" Justin asked curiously.
"Zhao Gao." Xiao Zheng asked. "Do you know him?"
"Zhao Gao—" Justin's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he said meaningfully. "Have you already met him?"
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng nodded.
"Azheng, my personal suggestion is that you stay as far away from him as possible." Justin said slowly. "He's dangerous. And incredibly powerful. A true strongman."
"Who is he?" Xiao Zheng asked knowingly.
In fact, except that he learned from His Majesty Ling Lai that Zhao Gao was the regular follower of Zhao Changfeng, the strongest man in the world at that time, he knew nothing about this person at all.
"He is a strong man hidden behind the scenes. He has endless wealth and is proficient in many languages. Even a proud person like Dongzang seems very low-key and reserved in front of him." Justin shook the red wine glass and said with squinting eyes . "Although he has never introduced his identity to outsiders, I know that he is a member of the Zhao family. And he has extremely high authority. He even controls 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 this." Justin shook his head and said. "The descendants of the Zhao family have always been mysterious. What I know is only the tip of the iceberg. But I can be sure that Zhao Gao has a very high status in the Zhao family. Even Qiu Shou will call him Master Zhao when he sees him. "
Xiao Zheng drank the red wine in his glass in one go, pursed his lips and said, "I wonder how he and Lin Chaotian will discuss seniority."
When Justin heard this, he was stunned, and then said bitterly: "Speaking of which, Lin Chaotian and the descendants of the Zhao family are equally mysterious. No one has ever known what they are going to do. What does it have to do with it."
After finishing the trip arranged by Justin, Xiao Zheng rested in the hotel for another day. Only then did he realize that Jiang Qing was working in a foreign country just like him.
He talked to Jiang Qing on the phone two days ago. Since Minister Gong was on business in New York, she accompanied him throughout the trip. It seems that I will be heading to the embassy in Washington in a few days.
Minister Gong’s recent resting place is the Consulate General in New York.
Generally speaking, embassies represent national interests. Mainly responsible for political, economic, cultural, scientific and other exchanges between the two countries. The consulate, as it is often called, is mainly responsible for local expatriates and other consular affairs.
In times of war, embassies must be evacuated. The consulate has the right to retain the original location to ensure the rights and interests of expatriates. Such international regulations are also an expression of humanity.
Xiao Zheng took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Qing. I hope to have a meal with her before returning to China. By the way, I also said hello to Minister Gong.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Qing did not answer the phone after making several calls.
Doubts arose in his mind, thinking that China would definitely be at odds with the United States to some extent because of the attitude of the Tokyo government. I can't help but feel a little worried. He simply dialed the private number Minister Gong left for him.
But when I made this call, no one answered the call.
Xiao Zheng's heart suddenly tightened.
If these two people don't answer the phone at the same time, there must be something wrong!
But this is not China, and Xiao Zheng does not have so many resources to allocate. I had to quickly call Sophia and ask her to help find out the news.
Not long after, Sophia's call came in.
As soon as the connection was connected, I heard Sophia's rather anxious voice: "There was a shooting at the Chinese Consulate in New York. Several Chinese officials died on the spot. The news has been strictly blocked. The consulate has become a mess!"
My condition is so bad, I will vouch for it when I wake up after a nap!
