Xiao Yunlong glanced at the Vice President of Country M, and finally understood why the security here was so tight tonight. With the level of security on the first floor of the banquet building, even a peerless strong man would not dare to break in easily, because there were secretly...
There is someone stronger guarding you.
When the Vice President of Country M comes to visit in person, the security work must be done impeccably. Otherwise, if any accident occurs, the consequences will be serious.
Xiao Yunlong was naturally not interested in the vice president at all. He looked thoughtfully at Modesti's uncle next to the vice president.
Is this the person Modesty said who conspired to kill her brother and seize his brother-in-law?
If you just look at his appearance, you really can't tell. Charles Rockefeller is tall and has a majestic face, which gives people a sense of uprightness and luxury. He is already extremely skilled in interacting on similar occasions. He leads
After the Vice President entered the banquet hall, the guests in the banquet hall also came over immediately.
Almost all of these guests are big shots from top families, and they all know each other. Therefore, after seeing Charles and the Vice President approaching, these distinguished guests also greeted them one by one, and they greeted each other warmly.
, I don’t feel any restraint at all, it’s obvious that we are already old friends.
It is not difficult to understand that behind the political leaders of Country M, there are countless financial groups supporting them.
Charles' arrival means that tonight's dinner has officially begun.
Xiao Yunlong is really not interested in dealing with this situation. He came here mainly because of Modesti's invitation. The main reason was to meet with Modesti and discuss the cooperation deal with Modesti.
As for other things, Xiao Yunlong never thought about it too much.
As the big shots at the venue arrived one after another, tonight's banquet officially began.
During the dinner, Charles, the Vice President and other big figures from the top families naturally sat at the same table. The rest of the younger generation, such as the young masters of the Dupont family and the young masters of the Morgan family, sat together.
Xiao Yunlong also sat with these noble young masters at Modesty's invitation.
The dishes are naturally Western dishes, appetizers, soups, salads, followed by main courses and luxurious and expensive aged red wine.
The dishes were extremely sumptuous, but most of the people in the venue had just tasted them. No one really came for the sumptuous dinner table. These noble young men gathered together to talk about the past and the present, and they had outstanding knowledge.
He also talked about the current world economic structure, the accumulation and management of wealth, etc.
In their words, tens of billions of funds seem to be hundreds of dollars, and they speak casually, involving the operation of huge funds.
If some business people were here, they would definitely be very interested. After all, the potential value involved in these conversations is unimaginable. Once you can make friends with these noble young masters and get an opportunity for cooperation, you can imagine
That value is so amazing.
However, Xiao Yunlong, who was sitting in the venue, was not very interested in this, so during the whole process, he was basically eating something and ordering some aged red wine. He almost did not participate in the conversation.
This made some noble young masters feel a little strange. In their opinion, the people who could come to this banquet were basically members of top families, and they should be very interested in how to manage money and how to use huge amounts of money.
But Xiao Yunlong showed an attitude throughout the whole process that everything had nothing to do with him, which inevitably made these noble gentlemen curious.
However, they did not ask. They were all well-educated and had their own circle. They paid a little attention to Xiao Yunlong, but it was because of Modesty's relationship.
Modesty also noticed Xiao Yunlong's situation. She always felt a little sorry that Xiao Yunlong was left out in this way, but in such an occasion, she didn't know how to bring the topic to the point where Xiao Yunlong could participate.
But just watching everyone chatting with each other, Xiao Yunlong was unable to participate, and she still felt a little guilty.
Modesty thought for a while, and was about to bring the topic to Xiao Yunlong's participation. Suddenly, she saw Xiao Yunlong pick up a napkin, wipe the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "The dinner is very sumptuous, I can eat it well."
That's almost it. You guys go on, I'm going to the bathroom first...well, I seem to have eaten a little too much, so haha, you know what I'm doing! Excuse me."
As Xiao Yunlong said that, he stood up and walked towards the bathroom in the banquet hall.
The noble young men were startled when they heard this, but they didn't say anything because they had no interaction with each other, so naturally they didn't say much.
For them, if Xiao Yunlong is not present, the conversation between them becomes more arbitrary and freer.
After Xiao Yunlong left, he didn't know where the restroom was. After asking the waiter at the venue, the waiter at the banquet took him there.
When he arrived at the restroom, Xiao Yunlong entered the men's restroom to solve his bladder problem, then lit a cigarette in the restroom and started smoking.
He really wasn't too interested in banquets like this. Even though there were many big shots gathered there, all of them were powerful figures standing at the top of the pyramid in the world, he had no intention of making friends. So,
After eating briefly and expressing his feelings, he found an excuse to go to the bathroom to clean up and smoke a cigarette or something.
After finishing the cigarette quickly, Xiao Yunlong walked out, wanting to find a quiet place to rest until Modesty was done with her work.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out, he saw Modesty standing cutely outside the bathroom, obviously waiting for Xiao Yunlong.
"You want to go to the bathroom too?" Xiao Yunlong looked stunned and asked.
Modesty glared at Xiao Yunlong and said, "If I really come to the bathroom, then why are I standing here?"
"Okay, you are here to wait for me." Xiao Yunlong smiled, he understood what was going on, and then said, "Modesti, I told you, I didn't feel lonely at the banquet.
Yes. So you don’t need to care about my feelings. The banquet is not over yet, shouldn’t you be there? We’ll talk about it when you’re done.”
"Now that the banquet has begun, some major project issues related to the theme of this banquet are not something I can participate in. They are all handled by my uncle. So, what's the point of me staying here? Just to be a bright vase.
?" Modesty said coldly, and then continued, "I know you want to find a quiet place, come on, follow me."
With that said, Modesty took Xiao Yunlong out of the banquet hall.
This floor is connected to other floors. Turn right in the direction of the bathroom and there is a corridor. Go forward along the corridor and you will find a safety escalator.
Modesty led Xiao Yunlong up the safety escalator, all the way to the fourth floor.
This floor is basically a suite for guests to rest. Since the Rockefeller family often holds some major banquets, some guests who come to the banquets stay overnight and come to this floor.
Therefore, every suite on this floor is at the level of a presidential suite, extremely luxurious and high-end.
Modesty opened one of the suite rooms and let Xiao Yunlong walk in.
Xiao Yunlong's face was stunned and he couldn't help but smile. In the banquet hall just now, he could see that the noble young masters all had a good impression of Modesti and wanted to get closer to Modesti. But Modesti
Ti treated them equally and did not mean to be too close to them.
However, at this moment, Modesty brought Xiao Yunlong to a room to be alone. If the young master of the Dupont family or the young master of the Morgan family knew about this, I don't know what they would think.
Entering the room, Modesty was silent for a while. At this time, she was different from the radiant beauty at the banquet. She was still beautiful, and her temperament was still aloof, but that beautiful face
Jade's face was covered with a layer of resentment and coldness.
After a while, she said: "You also saw my uncle. Do you remember his appearance?"
Xiao Yunlong nodded and said: "His characteristics are also very obvious and easy to remember. To be honest, from the appearance, it is difficult to tell that he is such a person."
Modesty sneered and said, "Yeah, who can tell? Everyone in the family is praising him for being fair and selfless, praising him for taking on big responsibilities and shouldering the responsibility for the family to continue to be prosperous and strong. After my father passed away
, he did an excellent job on the surface and took good care of me and my mother. In the eyes of the family, he naturally won a lot of praise. But secretly? He was clearly the culprit who murdered my father. In front of me and me
But my mother showed a hypocritical appearance of selfless and dedicated care. He even coveted my mother and wanted to invade my mother. Do you think such a person is worse than a beast? "
Xiao Yunlong was silent for a moment after hearing this. There are many overt and secret fights among wealthy families, and it is very common, even for top families like Rockefeller.
In fact, the secret fighting between top families is even more serious.
Because once you can firmly sit on the throne of the head of the family, it means that you can mobilize all the assets of the entire family. And how much assets does a century-old top family like Rockefeller have? It is impossible to estimate!
The so-called decay under the glory refers to these families. How much darkness, struggle and decay are hidden under the glorious surface?
From Modesty's narration, Xiao Yunlong also learned that the current head of the Rockefeller family had three sons. Modesty's father was the eldest son, followed by Charles. In addition, Modesty had a third uncle.
.
After Modesty's father died due to an "accident", Charles took over many of the Rockefeller family's properties, and Charles was indeed a capable person. The properties he managed were booming, and the benefits he obtained for the family every year were undoubtedly
Highest.
Of course, the Rockefeller family is huge. In addition to the head of the family, there are many side lines. These side lines also have the orthodox Rockefeller family bloodline. Among them, there are also outstanding competitors who want to compete for the position of the next head of the family.
But from the current point of view, Charles's support rate and popularity are undoubtedly the highest.
This means that once Charles continues like this, one day he will get his wish and sit on the throne of the family.
"Demon King, I will never let my second uncle, who has a human face and a beast's heart, take the position of the head of the family. Otherwise, once he takes the position of the head of the family, it will be the beginning of the dark end for me and my mother!"
Modesty stared at Xiao Yunlong and said every word seriously.
