The Walton family's dinner is quite prestigious among the top families in the United States. Although they gather three times a year, which makes those top families a little speechless, it is inevitable to send someone over whenever there is a gathering.
And the Walton family is famous for being low-key. It doesn't matter whether the big bosses come or not. They can just send you a message. They don't pay too much attention to face or anything like that, but even so, the Walton family's dinner , it was also a party that everyone in the United States, and even the entire Western world, wanted to get into.
But as mentioned just now, the Walton family is very low-key, so unless they are guests invited by family members, no one else or people with connections can come in.
Americans, or Westerners to be exact, love parties because it is a way to bond.
This kind of gathering, in addition to kneeling down to the Waltons, is also an opportunity for them to connect with each other and find partners. There are even some celebrities, whether they are in the entertainment industry or the cultural and sports circles, they will look for opportunities. come over.
After all, there are not many opportunities to have a relationship with such a wealthy person.
Since they are here to make friends, it is impossible for them to come here on time. They just come to attend the dinner for one or two hours and then leave. In this way, they will get to know a lot of people, so there will be a lot of people there very early. will come.
Generally speaking, the lower the status, the more people want to know more people, the sooner they will come.
Of course, I don’t mean to come here in the morning, but after lunch, people will start to come over at two or three o’clock in the afternoon.
This is not the first time that the Walton family has held such a banquet. Naturally, it has been prepared for a long time. In addition to the main banquet, there are also several auxiliary banquet halls, which also have dried fruits, cold dishes, etc., just for these. A place for people to stay.
Just like when old people in China celebrate their birthdays, their children will go to greet them. Since it is a banquet, someone naturally needs to greet it, and the person to greet it is the third generation of the Walton family. Originally, except for Hope, everyone else Everyone is going.
After all, Hope is a congressman, and he wants to pursue an official career, so he will not go to such a job as entertaining others. He even did not come today. This is also to avoid suspicion. You know, the United States is also considered *** *****, corruption and other crimes are serious, but you really have to go to jail, so people who are in politics must not be caught by others.
Even when asking for political donations, it has to be done quietly. How can anyone dare to come in a big way? What's more, it's an occasion like this.
Under such circumstances, basically every year, the people who come to greet these guests are Jim Walton’s eldest son, Cooper Walton, and a group of younger brothers and sisters, who greet the guests here. guest.
In the past, Pula Walton naturally had to go, but starting from last year, she didn’t have to go. Who said she was so powerful? In such a family, whoever makes more money is more powerful, but she You can't go there on time, and you have to be called back in advance, so after lunch, Pula Walton took Jiang Hai in the room for a few more hours, and at about four o'clock in the afternoon, She just put on her evening dress and went downstairs with Jiang Hai, who was wearing a suit, and went to one of the rooms. Although she didn't have to entertain, her face definitely had to be exposed.
"Just wait here for a while. After I go to meet these people, I will come back to you." After arriving in the room, Pula Walton looked at Jiang Hai and said with a smile, Jiang Hai Hai also knew that although the social life of Americans and Chinese people was different, she, as the host, still had to ask if the food was good and if there were any other needs. This mattered whether it was Chinese or Chinese people. It's the United States, it's inevitable, so Jiang Hai just nodded and didn't say anything.
Seeing that Jiang Hai agreed, Pula Walton also walked towards some people she knew in the room. These people could only come in through invitation letters from the Walton family, but basically everyone To take care of every guest.
If you don’t know this person, you don’t need to go up and say anything. Even if you are not familiar with him, it doesn’t matter. It seems very free.
Seeing Pula Walton enter the crowd like a butterfly, Jiang Hai also found a place to sit down.
Although he ate a lot at noon, he consumed a lot, so as soon as he sat down, he started eating again.
Just as he was enjoying his meal, several people came over and walked up to Jiang Hai unknowingly.
Jiang Hai looked up and found that he knew the people who came. The guy who was scolded yesterday for saying that he was a country bumpkin seemed to be called Blair or something. He couldn't remember it. There were two other people he saw. He looked familiar, but he didn't recognize him.
Looking at the eyes of these people, Jiang Hai frowned and threw a biscuit into his mouth.
"Is something wrong?" Jiang Hai said while chewing the biscuits in his mouth and looking at the people in front of him. His attitude was naturally not very good.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just came to see you, because I haven't seen you in person yet. Brett said he had seen you, so I asked him to bring me over to see you. These guys are all mine. Friend." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, a man he didn't know spoke with a smile. Looking at him, Jiang Hai raised his eyebrows. How did this guy say that he was so uncomfortable? What does it mean to come and see me? Could it be that he is some kind of animal? But if I find fault, I can't find anything.
"Have you seen it now? I want to continue eating. Is there any problem?" After hearing this man's words, Jiang Hai shook his head and stopped paying attention to him. He lowered his head and prepared to continue dealing with the cake in front of him.
But these people didn't come to watch Jiang Hai eat cake. Seeing Jiang Hai ignore them, the man leaned forward, put his hand on the table where Jiang Hai was eating, and looked at him condescendingly.
"My name is Austin Walton, and Pula is my sister. I heard that Mr. Jiang has a good level of sports. Are you interested in doing some activities before the dinner, even if it is just to eat more food later?" "Looking at Jiang Hai, the man said with a smile, and when he heard his words, the friends around him all started laughing.
Originally, these guys were not good people. Naturally, now that they have the opportunity to ridicule Jiang Hai, they will not let it go.
Of course, these people only dared to smile. Jiang Hai's current strength was far beyond what they could offend.
As a second-generation person, you can bully people, but you have to know that you can’t afford to offend the people you bully, people who can come to Walton’s dinner, and are very close to Pula Walton, to be honest , as long as these people are not stupid, they will only dare to smile.
"Sorry." The laughter here quickly attracted the attention of everyone. At this time, Pula Walton also saw the situation over there. When she saw Jiang Hai surrounded by those people, , she couldn't help but stare, and then said sorry to the person who was talking, and then walked over directly. Without saying a word, she came to Jiang Hai's side and glared at these people.
"Are you looking for death? How dare you come to provoke him? You don't know who he is?" Putting his hand on Jiang Hai's shoulder, Pula Walton said coldly without saying a word. After hearing her words, this People around me are somewhat timid.
How could people in this circle not know the existence of Pula Walton? This female devil is not as easy to get along with as imagined. Although she is beautiful, she is a poisonous rose. If you Dare to mess with her, but it's not just as simple as planting a thorn, it can kill people, and these people are a little timid in an instant.
"Ahem, Sister Pula, you don't have to be so nervous. We don't have any ill intentions. We just asked Jiang Hai if he is good at sports. If he is good at it, we will go out to play. If he is not good at it, forget it... We are also doing this. Good relationship." Hearing Pula Walton say this, Brett here flashed, and Austin smiled awkwardly and said in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter. I'm pretty good at sports. You can tell me what you want to play." He patted Pula Walton's hand. Although Jiang Hai didn't know what these people wanted to do, he could still play with them. Yes, he was a little bored anyway.
"I heard that you have played basketball and your level is very high. Let's play tennis today!" After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Austin's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.
Yes, he had already checked on Jiang Hai. He knew that Jiang Hai was very good at basketball and even went to the NBA for a tryout. If it weren't for the fact that he was really too rich, he might have made his NBA debut, so he followed He definitely can't play basketball.
Among his friends, there is a master of tennis, and he specially invited him here today.
"Tennis? Play with you? Okay, let's go!" After hearing his words, Jiang Hai thought for a moment. He had played tennis before, but only once. Many, many, many years ago, it was very popular at that time. There was an anime called Prince of Tennis. After watching the anime, he found it very interesting, so he went to play in the tennis club of their school, but to be honest, he didn't have much talent.
He just understood the rules, that's all, but it doesn't matter now. With his physical fitness, except for billiards, which requires planning and strength may not produce miracles, he has no problem playing other things.
"No, no, no, don't get me wrong. Playing tennis is playing tennis, but the person you want to play with is not me, but him!"
