The next morning, Josie, who had just finished breakfast, was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper.
It's just that his face looks a little weird, and I don't know if he's angry or happy.
"Dear, what's wrong?" Margot came over, saw his face, kissed his cheek, and asked with a smile.
"To be honest, it's hard for me to believe that the newspaper is talking about me!" Josie's tone was full of helplessness, and she handed the newspaper in her hand to Margot.
This is the Chicago Tribune, the earliest newspaper in Chicago and the third largest newspaper in the United States.
Margot was very happy when she read the newspaper.
The headline on the front page was "Three Million, the Austrian Noble Boy's Determination to Anti-French XXX!"
The article reported that at the fund-raising reception last night, Margot bought three million war bonds in Josie's name.
However, after being modified with Spring and Autumn style, the painting style of the newspaper contents became strange.
The article describes Josie and his deceased parents as a heroic aristocratic family in Austria's anti-French XX. When Germany invaded Austria, they were persecuted and had to cross the sea and come to the United States.
After arriving in the United States, Josie's parents still did not forget the hatred between the country and the family, and had been fighting for the anti-French XX for a long time.
Finally, he died unfortunately due to an accident.
Josie inherited her parents' legacy and continued to work hard for the anti-French struggle. She spent all her family wealth and spent three million dollars just to support the anti-French struggle in the United States.
The impassioned words in the article made it hard for Josie to believe that they were describing him.
When did he become so great?
And when did their family become aristocrats?
Oh, by the way, when I was interviewed after collecting donations yesterday, when the reporter asked about his family, he mentioned that his grandfather in this body was an officer in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and indeed had the title of Free Lord.
But the Austro-Hungarian Empire has been destroyed for more than 20 years, and the Habsburg dynasty has also been extinct, okay? His grandfather had also died in World War I.
I didn’t expect that reporter to deliberately add fuel to the fire in this regard, which is quite outrageous.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that Americans who are nouveau riche have always had aristocratic feelings, and it seems that it is not incomprehensible.
Of course, the main reason why newspapers wrote this was to build momentum for the sale of war bonds.
The underlying meaning is: Even that fellow countryman with the mustache has spent so much money to support the war. As American citizens, why don't you put in more effort to buy it?
"Isn't this great? At least our goal has been achieved. After today, I believe that the whole of Chicago and even many places in the United States will know your name. This will definitely be very beneficial to your future business."
Margot smiled coquettishly and said, "And in my heart, you are the greatest one."
"But this is unfair to you!" Josie sighed. In fact, he didn't want this title, but Margot's attitude was extremely firm and she didn't even allow Josie to mention the fact that she spent the money.
If you dare to say anything, I will set fire to the bonds that are actually worth six million.
Faced with this kind of soft food that was forced into her mouth, Qiao Xi really couldn't refuse.
"Do we still need to talk about this? If you really feel you owe me, just set up the factory as soon as possible and make the company bigger." Margot gave Josie a hug again, and said with the utmost tenderness.
The gentle encouragement from the beautiful sister made Josie instantly feel full of energy.
"Oh, my God, look at this. The Lebil family treasure trove was stolen, a security guard was injured, a robber was shot, and the famous crime expert Ervin Lyng Schneider may be related to the case, the policeman said
It's true, the treasure house of Uncle John's family has indeed been stolen." At this time, Margot turned the newspaper to the back page and suddenly exclaimed when looking at the content above.
"Yes, I saw it, but don't worry about your Uncle John, because in this case, the insurance company is much more anxious than the Lebil family." Josie said casually.
In normal times, such a big case would make headlines.
However, in a time of war like this, Josie's popularity could not be overshadowed.
The United States is now constantly shaping anti-French XX heroes in all walks of life, all in the service of the war.
But just like what Qiao Xi said, in this kind of case, the most urgent thing is often not the victim himself, but the insurance company. The one where the Lebil family was robbed was a large commercial vault rather than the family's private treasure house, so
It must have been insured.
Yes, there are insurance companies!
When Josie reminded her, Margot, who was a little worried about her Uncle John, instantly felt relieved.
"By the way, that lawyer Emery, how is he like?" At this moment, Qiao Xi suddenly asked.
"Lawyer Emery? Why did you mention him?" Margot was a little surprised.
"Well, it's nothing. Isn't he one of the best in the legal field in the city? I'm going to set up a company soon, and I will definitely need a lot of legal support." Qiao Xi didn't say that he thought the other party was suspicious, but just casually asked him.
Got a reason.
"If we talk about the law, according to Uncle John, he is indeed the most professional, but as a person..." Margot said this and couldn't help but pause.
"What's wrong?" Josie couldn't help but asked curiously.
"I heard that this barrister's private life is quite bad. He has a little girl who can be his granddaughter as his lover. I heard about this when I asked the private detective to investigate the damn thing.
"Margot whispered.
Hearing this, Qiao Xi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The beautiful sister was obviously talking about the barrister, but in fact she was slapping him.
To be honest, the beautiful sister is really overly worried. With such a top beauty like her here, there are not many other things that he can like.
Just when he thought about this, the figure of Sabrina automatically appeared in his mind.
He shook his head and said, stop making trouble. Without the bonus of star halo, a little girl is just like that.
"I'm going to McKinsey for an interview later, do you want to go with me?" Qiao Xi decisively changed the subject.
The McKinsey & Company he talks about has nothing to do with the anti-social McKinseyism of the 1950s. It is just a management consulting firm.
This is also a world-class management consulting company in the future.
Qiao Xi wants to build three factories at once, and he certainly cannot do it by himself, so he needs to recruit people, professional managers.
One of the businesses of management consulting companies is headhunting.
The professional manager system and headhunting business in the United States started very early. They appeared in the 1920s and were quite complete in the 1930s.
Last week, Qiao Xi had already mentioned his personnel needs to the other party, and on Friday the other party had already given out the resumes of some candidates.
So the interview he is going for refers to him interviewing others, not others interviewing him.
"I won't go. I'm not interested in any of this. Besides, I've already received a set of equipment from Uncle John, which should be delivered today. I'll have to be busy with my pink heart for a while."
Margot said that the pink heart is the giant pink diamond. If it is not suitable for exposure to light, she plans to cut this precious diamond by herself.
