America is in control

Chapter 192 A sinister invitation and an extremely absurd idea

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Claire frowned slightly.

She raised the champagne in her hand, took a sip, then leaned into General Liu's ear and whispered a few words.

"John, your idea is dangerous!"

"I advise you not to take any chances with the New York real estate developer's daughter. Their family's power in New York is not small!"

"If you really want to play this, I might be able to arrange one for you. Do you know about Little St. James Island?"

Liu Jiang's pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart skipped a beat. What did the other party want to do? ?

Little St. James Island! Is that where people go?
Although my bottom line is not high, it is not that low either.

As for teasing Ivana, on the one hand it was to vent the bad temper she had received from her father.

On the other hand, Liu Jiang wants to leave a deep impression on the other party and plant a seed.

If you are lucky, you may have a chance to come out on top, which is exciting just thinking about it.

It was only three years, but Liu Jiang could still afford to wait.

As for why Claire suddenly proposed this invitation, she had some guesses in her heart.

As her net worth increased dramatically, the other party was worried that she would go back on her word and no longer support her.

Claire made this stupid move just to win over herself.

Maybe he is just so unworthy in her eyes!
Or maybe the other party wants to take the opportunity to pinch his sore foot, thereby firmly controlling him, and then letting him manipulate him.

You really treat me like a fool! Such handles will also be sent out!
If this situation doesn't teach Claire a profound lesson, she might go too far.

Thinking of this, General Liu reacted immediately.

His face suddenly became extremely ugly, he glared at the other party fiercely, and then said coldly.

"I don't have those hobbies, you've found the wrong person!"

After speaking, General Liu immediately turned around and wanted to stay away from this woman with ulterior motives. His attitude was very decisive.

Unexpectedly, Claire grabbed the corner of his clothes and pulled him back hard.

Looking back at the other party, Liu Jiang's face became increasingly gloomy and his eyebrows were furrowed.

"Mrs. Underwood, please pay attention to your appearance, this is a banquet hall!"

Squeezing out a sentence through his teeth, he reached out and tugged at the hem of his suit.

Unexpectedly, Claire clutched General Liu's clothes tightly and refused to let go.

"John, I'm very sorry, I misunderstood you! I offer you my sincerest apologies!"

Claire's face turned red and white, looking extremely embarrassed.

She didn't expect General Liu to react like this. It was completely different from what she had imagined.

He actually made a mistake and touched the opponent's reverse scale.

At this moment, Claire couldn't care less. As long as General Liu didn't leave, there was still room for redemption.

Since the other party doesn't have that kind of hobby, he has to think of another way.

Claire's brain began to work rapidly, and she tried hard to recall what General Liu had just said and done.

The other party seemed to have a lot of mood swings during the conversation with the father and daughter!
Could Liu simply be envious of the father-daughter relationship between the New York real estate businessman and his daughter?
correct! Liu Jiang is an orphan who lost his parents at an early age. As a mixed-race Chinese and Italian, he must have been discriminated against.

Without his parents to protect him from wind and rain, General Liu must have suffered a lot of bullying, and the feeling of being under someone else's roof was also uncomfortable.

In addition, he grew up in an Italian family and has seen what a happy family looks like.

Both ethnic groups, Chinese and Italian, attach great importance to family and family ties.

perhaps
Thinking of this, Claire suddenly came up with an extremely ridiculous idea.

In order to confirm the other party's thoughts, she started her own testing.

"John, have you known the New York real estate developer and his daughter before?"

Hearing the other party's sincere apology, Liu Jiang's anger calmed down a little.

He didn't want to cause any trouble with Claire in public.

Things between the two of them should not be kept in the light, and they will cause big trouble if they are exposed to the light.

Liu Jiang controlled his emotions, turned around slowly, considered his words again, and replied in a low voice.

"Claire, my patience has its limits, don't even think about using those methods on me!"

"I don't know that annoying guy. I feel like he is a wild horse running wild. Anyone who gets close to him will be unlucky!"

"However, his daughter has a pretty good character. She is very well-behaved and sensible. She knows how to smooth things over for her father and say nice things."

Claire nodded thoughtfully. She finally understood the reason for Liu Jiang's rage.

It turned out that the other party was worried about being caught by her and thought she was playing tricks, so she left angrily.

Why didn't I think of this before? Still too impatient!
However, General Liu's worries were unnecessary. It was impossible for her to threaten the other party with this matter.

People who go to Little St. James Island are either rich or noble, and he cannot afford to offend such a huge force.

Since the other party clearly rejected the matter, she did not want to explain it again, so as not to irritate General Liu again.

Liu's evaluation of the New York real estate developer was quite apt, and it sounded like that.

As for that girl, she seemed to appreciate her very much, otherwise she wouldn't be so complimentary.

It seems that my plan has a high chance of success!

"John, believe it or not, I have never thought of using any means against you!"

"Your opinion of the New York real estate businessman is interesting, but you don't seem to know him very well."

"His family is in New York"

Facing General Liu's suspicion, Claire first defended herself.

Of course she knew that this could not completely eliminate the other party's suspicion, but she had to express her attitude.

This was the first step in re-establishing trust with the other party, and then she told the secrets of the New York real estate developer and his family.

Claire tries to gain General Liu's trust by revealing such secrets.

Liu Jiang swallowed what he heard. He didn't care much about the nonsense of New York real estate developers.

He is more concerned about the news about that young girl with long legs!

I learned from Claire that this man had just recently purchased and renovated the Bank of Manhattan Building at 40 Wall Street for US$ million.

This is a big deal, and even a weak one wouldn't be able to do it.

From this alone, we can see that he and his family are indeed quite powerful in New York.

At the same time, he began to organize the beauty pageant "Miss Universe" and served as one of the executive producers of this competition.

It can be said that he had a good career and a good time. No wonder he was surrounded by scandals in later generations and could not wash them away.

As for his precious daughter Ivana, she is also a very enterprising person, and there are no unsavory rumors.

With a slim appearance, she has begun to take advantage of her figure to make money by filming advertisements.

There is no breaking news, so Liu Jiang will naturally not be interested. Seeing Liu Jiang's absent-minded look, Claire felt a little anxious, so she decided to continue to increase the pressure.

The conversation changed and she took the initiative to mention Giuliani.

"John, I just saw that you and 'Immortal Mayor' Giuliani seemed to be having a pleasant chat."

"You probably didn't know him before! This man is a powerful person!"

"His experiences are unimaginable to ordinary people. Are you interested?"

Hearing Claire talk about Giuliani, General Liu immediately became energetic.

This guy wanted to switch to the Xiang Party, although the process was interrupted by the intrusion of a New York real estate businessman.

But the hidden danger is still there, and he must find a way to politely reject Giuliani.

It would be great if you could know about this guy's experience and behavior.

"Giuliani is also of Italian descent, and he used that to strike up a conversation with me."

"He and I just met at this banquet. Is he very powerful?"

"Claire, you can tell me more about this 'strong-fisted mayor'."

A smile appeared on Claire's face again. She leaned forward slightly and placed the smooth silver-white backless and deep V-waisted evening dress on General Liu's arm.

Her flaming red lips came to the other person's ear and she began to speak softly.

While enjoying the silky touch, Liu Jiang held his breath and concentrated on every word that came out of the other person's mouth.

Giuliani was born into an Italian working-class family in Brooklyn, New York, and his entire family is Catholic.

After graduating from New York University School of Law, he started in the New York District Attorney's Office, focusing on organized crime and financial crimes.

Giuliani became famous in his fierce battle with New York's black robes and corrupt elements of the NYPD.

One of the most famous events is the Mafia Commission trial.

He prosecuted 11 well-known Mafia bigwigs, including the black-robed heads of what were known as the 'Five Families' in New York City.

Perhaps it is more appropriate to call these guys the 'Godfathers', because the Godfather trilogy is based on the Colombo family, one of the five major families.

Interestingly, the year the movie was released, Joseph Columbus, the 'godfather' of the Colombo family, was also assassinated in the same year.

Giuliani put all the awesome and coaxing big shots in "The Godfather" on trial in one go.

All the bosses of the five major families and core family members were found guilty in court and sentenced to prison terms of up to a hundred years.

Giuliani was only 43 years old when he overthrew Mafia and did such a shocking thing.

He also spared no effort in combating financial crime.

After meeting Giuliani, those arrogant wolves of Wall Street had no choice but to have their braces put on their teeth and become harmless to humans and animals from then on.

The most famous of these was junk securities broker Michael Macon.

Giuliani sued Michael Macon on 98 counts of fraud, costing him up to $9 million in fines and civil lawsuits.

At the same time, Michael Macon was banned from securities-related business for life.

These 'powerful' incidents made Giuliani a national figure.

At the same time, his image of an 'iron fist' in dealing with crime has also been branded with a deeper label.

Giuliani's distinguished performance as a prosecutor paved the way for his political career.

He successfully ran for mayor of New York in 1993, becoming the first Elephant Party mayor in this 'dark blue' (donkey-leaning) city in many years.

In the early 90s, during the tenure of former black mayor David Dinkins, New York's economic situation was poor, unemployment was high, and the streets were filled with unemployed people.

Criminal activities are rampant, whether they are gang crimes or Mafia crimes.

Wall Street at night is like a ghost town, and the New York subway has become a hotbed of criminals.

It was against this background that Giuliani became mayor of New York.

After taking office, he used his past advantages to focus on combating crime, and his governing style was known as an iron fist.

Giuliani promoted "zero tolerance" law enforcement, vigorously cleaned up the city, and drove away homeless people in the New York subway.

He didn’t even allow artists and street vendors, who were characteristic of the era, to exist on the streets of New York.

Under Giuliani's iron-fisted policy, New York's crime rate has dropped year by year, and the unemployment rate has also dropped rapidly.

Coupled with his good luck, the first Internet wave broke out in the United States in the 90s, and the economy grew rapidly.

With the two combined, there was no big trouble in New York, and all major media outlets praised Giuliani for his good governance.

After listening to Claire's story, Liu Jiang frowned again.

He had a rough idea about Giuliani. This guy was not easy to deal with!
This person has a tough style, won't give up until he achieves his goals, and is very difficult to deal with.

You have to think carefully about how to politely reject him, and you can't make a hasty decision, so as not to offend the other person.

Claire felt a little proud when she saw General Liu was deep in thought.

Although what she just said was all based on facts, there were some deliberate exaggerations.

The purpose is of course to make Liu wary of Giuliani and to discredit the Elephant Party.

As a capable member of the Elephant Party, Giuliani is such a ruthless person. How can other Elephant Party politicians be any better.

Let Liu Jiang subconsciously reject Xiang Dang, so that he will not switch to the past.

Claire looked at Liu Jiang with his sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes lowered in thought, and the more she looked at him, the more fascinated she became.

She swallowed faintly, and then quietly glanced around with the corner of her eye.

Claire became bolder when she discovered that no one was paying attention to the situation here.

Her upper body got closer to Liu Jiang's strong arms, and she began to twist her waist slightly.

She rubbed the other person's arm with her silky evening dress. The friction generated waves of static electricity, and a tingling sensation was felt instantly.

Claire almost couldn't help it and almost hummed.

A blush appeared on her face, and her eyes looking at General Liu became confused.

The tingling and silky feeling also woke up Liu Jiang who was deep in thought. He looked up at Claire.

The other party Yanran looked impatient, which surprised him.

Claire met Liu General's gaze, and a different kind of light flashed in her eyes.

She raised her eyebrows, raised the corners of her mouth, and at the same time quietly stretched out her fingers to draw circles on the back of the other person's hand.

When General Liu saw this, he didn't understand what Claire was thinking at this time. This was a sign of a horse bug!

Isn't this a coincidence? I am very angry now!

The ill temper he suffered from the New York real estate businessmen had not completely dissipated.

In addition, Claire's sinister invitation just now also aroused General Liu's anger.

He winked at the other party, and Claire understood instantly.

The two separated with a tacit understanding, and then left the banquet hall one after another.
