Chapter 78:
New York was still brightly lit at night. A lot of luxury cars were parked in front of a very high-end hotel. Reception staff were coming and going at the door. Some were setting up their vehicles for incoming guests, while others were waiting for guests. Follow these people upstairs.
A Bentley stopped in front of the hotel. The receptionist originally wanted to help open the back seat door, but there was no one in the back seat.
At this time, the driver's door opened by itself, and Chen Lin'an got out of the car with the key. Unlike other guests, he still preferred to drive by himself.
Today he came here to attend a party. To put it bluntly, this party is a place where high-profile businessmen and politicians in New York City make friends with each other.
Now with the vigorous development of Zero Industry, Chen Lin'an naturally received the invitation.
After handing the keys and invitations to the receptionist, he walked into the hotel lobby. The lobby was full of people wearing exquisite dresses. Although everyone did not know each other, they still nodded to each other after looking at each other.
"Aha~ This is the legendary high-society party. It doesn't look like there's anything delicious to eat. It's just a group of people standing and chatting." Venom complained to Chen Lin'an in his mind.
Chen Lin'an followed the guide to the elevator and responded in his mind: "This is just the lobby on the first floor, we haven't reached the place yet." "Don't worry, no matter
how the party goes, the food will definitely not be bad. At least This is the dessert."
Hearing this, Venom muttered in anticipation: "Hey, I want to eat tiramisu and chocolate. I don't know what the quality of the chocolate here is." "
Ding!"
Following the crisp reminder The sound sounded, the elevator door slowly opened, and after walking through the magnificent aisle, the bright and exquisite banquet hall came into view.
There weren't many people inside, but there were quite a few. They were gathering in twos and threes and chatting with each other while holding wine glasses.
Chen Linan looked around and accurately found the dessert area that Venom had been thinking about.
"Hmm~ This sweet smell really makes me feel happy. Let's eat some chocolate first to appetize." The venom formed a mouth in the palm of Chen Lin'an's hand, and then he tasted the chocolate very secretly.
Although it doesn't taste as refreshing and fulfilling as usual, there are so many people, so it's better to keep a low profile.
And there are benefits to eating it in small bites, at least it can make the taste more mellow and long-lasting.
"That cup cake is also delicious~" A clear female voice suddenly sounded, almost making Venom choke. Chen Lin'an also secretly held his palm, giving Venom some time to retract.
"Felicia, I really didn't expect to meet you here." Looking at Felicia holding a wine glass next to him, Chen Lin'an said with some surprise.
While Felicia handed Chen Lin'an a glass of wine, she walked closer and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet you. I usually just count the time for boring parties like this." As
Felicia got closer, , a burst of fragrant aroma also penetrated Chen Lin'an's nose.
Today was a formal party, so Felicia was dressed very delicately.
She was wearing a black velvet tube top suspender dress, which perfectly showed off her delicate collarbone and neck. The bottom of the dress was slit to her thighs. When she walked, her long white legs were exposed from time to time, making her look extremely charming. .
Coupled with exquisite makeup and bright red lips, Felicia walked slowly on stilettos like a noble queen, but her expression was very naughty and vivid, which made her cool and charming. Some more vivid colors.
"You are also very beautiful today, like the most dazzling one in the diamond necklace." Chen Lin'an praised sincerely.
After he finished speaking, he continued to smile and said: "The praise this time is not too thin, right?"
Felicia also smiled and rolled her eyes at him when she heard this: "Humph, barely is acceptable, a little better than last time. "
After saying that, both of them couldn't help but chuckle.
They ate their desserts and chatted.
"It's a boring banquet. If my mother didn't insist on letting me come, I wouldn't come. Everyone here is well-dressed and looks very serious and elegant. But in fact, many people are different from what they seem. It's really uncomfortable. ."
As she spoke, Felicia's delicate eyebrows wrinkled, as if she thought of something.
"Did anything unpleasant happen before?" Chen Lin'an asked after seeing this.
Hearing his question, Felicia also raised her hand, then quietly leaned into Chen Linan's ear and whispered: "Last time was a banquet similar to today. I felt bored so I went to the window sill to get some fresh air, and found out There were people doing that in the next room."
"And I met them when I went back. They all have their own families, and they are still respectable people."
Felicia's eyes lit up when she talked about the gossip, although She didn't say who it was, but following her eyes, Chen Lin'an roughly understood the person.
Seeing the bald man and the middle-aged woman each hugging their female and male companions, smiling and greeting each other politely, Chen Linan couldn't help but be speechless. This circle was quite chaotic.
Venom was also very curious about this gossip, and even encouraged Chen Lin'an to ask for more details, but he stopped him forcefully.
Just kidding, how can you go into detail about this kind of gossip? Isn't he shameless? Wouldn't Felicia be embarrassed?
Just when the two of them were having a great time eating melon, someone next to them also noticed them, so they came up with a wine glass.
"Oh~ This beautiful lady must be Anastasha's daughter, long time no see." Just as Felicia picked up an ice cream to moisten her throat, a rich voice suddenly came from the side.
Chen Lin'an and Felicia also turned their heads after hearing this, and saw a large, bald man in a white suit looking at them with a smile.
"Oh, Mr. Fisk, long time no see." Felicia responded with a smile after seeing the man.
After saying hello, Felicia also introduced Chen Lin'an and the others to each other: "Lyon, this is Mr. Fisk, my mother's good friend, and a famous entrepreneur and philanthropist." "Mr. Fisk, this is
me My friend Leon Chen."
After Felicia's introduction, Chen Lin'an and Wilson Fisk also smiled and shook hands, appearing both warm and polite, unfamiliar but polite.
"It turns out that you are the founder of Industry Zero. You are really young and promising. They say that the founder of Industry Zero is very mysterious and a young man, but I didn't expect him to be so young." Wilson Fisker admired him very much. road.
As the founder and person in charge of Zero Industry, Leon Chen's name is of course known to everyone, but because he usually keeps a low profile, fewer people have met him and know his identity.
Chen Lin'an also smiled modestly when he heard this, and then said back: "Compared to Mr. Fisk's business empire, I'm far behind."
Through the exchange of greetings between the two, Felicia found out that Chen Lin'an was here today. His identity is the famous founder of Zero Industry some time ago.
She also fully recognized Chen Lin'an's talent and ability, but it still surprised her that he could achieve such a great achievement quietly.
Thinking of this, she looked at Chen Lin'an with a hint of confusion, a hint of shock, a hint of blame and annoyance.
Through Felicia's eyes, Chen Lin'an also knew that her eyes meant that she didn't share this matter with her.
When Chen Lin'an saw this, he could only touch her arm gently to express his apology.
Although their little moves were secretive, they were all seen by Wilson Fisk.
Wilson Fisk could only lament Anastasha's good luck. He was also very keen on those things from Industry Zero. If the other party didn't have military connections and background, he would have used them long ago. some means.
After complimenting each other, friendly exchanges began. Many entrepreneurs also took the initiative to come forward and talk after seeing Wilson Fisk here.
After a while, Chen Linan and the others gathered here. Many people did not participate in the topic after introducing each other, or stood aside to listen. They would find friends nearby to chat with each other, and then interrupt from time to time. Previous sentence.
Just when everyone was chatting happily, another figure walked over from the side.
"Oh~ my dear friend Wilson, what are you talking about? I wonder if I can join in." I saw Norman Osborne smiling and saying hello to Wilson Fisk as he walked over.
Seeing Norman Osborne, Wilson Fisk introduced Chen Linan and Felicia to him with a smile.
"I haven't seen Miss Hardy for a long time. The last time I saw her was at her birthday dinner the year before last." Looking at Felicia, Norman Osborne smiled with emotion.
"And Mr. Chen, Lingdian Industry's name has become more and more famous recently. I always knew that its founder was young, but I didn't expect that he was not only young but also handsome." Faced with
Norman Osborne's compliment, Chen Lin'an also responded humbly and familiarly, and then praised the Osborne Group in a very high-level manner.
After complimenting each other, everyone continued to chat. When they talked about college life, Norman Osborne suddenly sighed and said with great emotion: "It would be great if my son Henry could be as good as you."
"Henry is also very good. I remember he won the MVP in the last school basketball game. I didn't even pass the team selection." Although he is not very familiar with Henry Osborne, Chen Lin'an still relies on his excellent memory to remember Some related events were found, and this time Norman Osborne's words were not dropped to the ground.
Hearing Chen Lin'an's words, Norman Osborne was even more moved. Just when he wanted to continue saying something, the noise not far away interrupted them.
