The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 199 The Most Troublesome One

"Does anyone know who he is?" Morris gritted his teeth and asked the people around him.

"Maybe your father knows." Several people shrugged. They didn't know who the Chinese man was.

But they saw the Chinese man communicating with several candidates, and they also saw the Chinese man communicating with Morris's father for a moment.

"Morris, seriously, you might be in trouble. It's not normal for a Chinese to be here. You'd better tell your father the truth." Someone advised.

Morris didn't say anything. He felt that he had lost a lot of face.

……

"Mr. Scott?" Chen Zhengwei saw a curly-haired man in his forties next to William. After learning the other party's identity, he immediately became enthusiastic.

Evans Scott, director of the Union Steel Works and owner of the Eagle Mountain Iron Mine.

That's right, Chen Zhengwei just threw dirty water on him.

"I didn't expect to see you here. Maybe we can cooperate!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"I have a lot of business at the port, including freight, warehousing, and manpower. My labor dispatch company has tens of thousands of people, all of whom have received professional training, are serious, and eager to learn..."

"Maybe we have a chance to cooperate!" Evans also smiled and said that hiring some Chinese people might be a good idea.

You have to know that Chinese people’s wages are much lower than other workers.

Chen Zhengwei exchanged a few words with Evans, and then shifted his attention to William. After all, William was the core here.

Chen Zhengwei didn't like William as a candidate, but he didn't mind getting to know a banker.

After a while, Chen Zhengwei took a few business cards and left.

After a while, he realized that Thomas had the highest political status and his supporters came from all walks of life.

William has the most money, and his supporters are businessmen like Evans who have a need for funds.

The advantages of these two candidates are huge.

As for the lawyer James, he has insufficient experience and no strong support, so his hope of becoming a candidate is the smallest.

"How about it, do you have any ideas?" Brown said beside Chen Zhengwei.

"I need to think about it!" Chen Zhengwei actually already had a choice, which was James.

It is much easier to provide help when needed than to add icing on the cake. This James is much easier to control than others.

It doesn't matter that he doesn't have enough experience or the support of voters and money.

I can provide it to him.

Chen Zhengwei picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Brown as a token of gratitude.

The money I spent on him was not wasted. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to enter this circle so easily.

Not only did I get to know the three candidates, but I also got to know some other self-help people and Republican members.

In the distance, some people were also discussing Chen Zhengwei.

"Do you know that Chinese man?" Thomas asked Frank. He just saw that Frank was very enthusiastic, which was different from his enthusiasm towards other people.

"No, I know him." Frank shook his head.

"Can you tell me about it? To be honest, I just got to know this person yesterday... and I don't know much about him." Thomas said.

"He is not an ordinary businessman...his methods are very brutal. There are many gangs in the underworld of San Francisco, and he is the most influential one right now. He can influence many people." Frank said after thinking for a while.

Thomas nodded slightly.

……

A moment later, Leland Stanford stood in front holding a glass of wine, signaling the start of the dinner.

Because there were so many people, there were nearly a hundred people in the banquet hall, so it was a buffet.

Chen Zhengwei and Anna reunited.

"How do you feel?" Chen Zhengwei asked with a smile.

"It fits my imagination of the upper class!" Anna was still excited. She took Chen Zhengwei's arm and said enthusiastically, "Everyone is very gentlemanly..."

"Gentlemen just because they stand here!" Chen Zhengwei sneered.

"Anna, I have to remind you that there is actually no difference between them and the people outside. It's just that they are better at disguising themselves."

"What about you?" Anna turned and looked at Chen Zhengwei.

"Me too! Wild beasts need to camouflage themselves to look less dangerous." Chen Zhengwei cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth with a fork.

"I already feel the danger... I like this feeling full of danger!" Anna's eyes seemed to be filled with a lake.

"You will feel even more dangerous that night!" Chen Zhengwei laughed and threw the fork aside.

It's so-so, not very delicious, but not terrible either.

Pick and choose along the way, and say hello to some wealthy businessmen or Republican members from time to time.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the dance began and the band played cheerful music.

"Would you like to dance?" Anna invited enthusiastically, her whole body filled with joy.

Even at today's banquet, she was the kind that attracted a lot of attention, especially the happiness she exuded.

"Of course!"

As for waltz, Chen Zhengwei thought it was very simple.

What's more, he has the skill of insight and can see Anna's actions in advance.

Then he was dragged into the dance floor by Anna, holding Anna's hand with one hand and putting the other hand on Anna's back.

"You look like a novice!" Anna immediately noticed from Chen Zhengwei's actions.

"It's very simple, you can learn it quickly!" Chen Zhengwei said nonchalantly.

"Ah!" Anna groaned in pain as Chen Zhengwei stepped on the instep of her foot.

"Just a little accident!" Chen Zhengwei said calmly, thinking it was a small problem.

Just now, although he saw Anna's movement, his body's center of gravity had changed. If he retracted his feet, he would easily lose his balance. So he stepped down resolutely.

I would rather die than let my friend die. On the road to growth, there is always a price to pay.

"what!"

"what!"

"what!"

"To be honest, I kind of regret it..." Anna whispered in Chen Zhengwei's ear.

"This is just a small price to pay on the road to growth... This kind of thing happens every moment in life," Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

If someone else stepped on the female companion's foot, and it happened repeatedly, she might feel a little apologetic and uneasy.

There was not a trace of it on his face.

"But this is all at my expense! My feet seem to be swollen!" Anna gritted her teeth.

"It will be fine soon..." Chen Zhengwei suddenly realized that although he had the skill of seeing through everything, he was not omnipotent.

Many times, even though you know what the other person is doing, you still continue to step on him.

Fortunately, after Chen Zhengwei became familiar with the place, stepping on others' feet rarely happened again.

He thought dancing was quite interesting.

Until a panel popped up in front of Chen Zhengwei.

Waltz LV0.

"Fuck, I have already used the skill Waltz, but I don't even have the Cailifo Fist!" Chen Zhengwei cursed in a low voice.

He increasingly felt that Choy Li Fot had something against him.

"What?" Anna asked.

"Nothing!" Chen Zhengwei threw his only remaining skill point onto it without even thinking, turning it into Waltz LV1.

A large amount of memories about waltz flooded into Chen Zhengwei's mind, and even his muscles became familiar with it, as if he had practiced it seriously for several months.

Soon, Anna noticed this. She took Chen Zhengwei's hand and turned around, and then was pulled back into Chen Zhengwei's arms.

"Oh my god, you really just started learning to dance?"

"Of course, I told you, it's very simple. You can learn it by just learning it!" Chen Zhengwei said confidently.

After a while, Anna found that Chen Zhengwei's dancing was much better than before, so much so that she even doubted whether he was a novice.

"You are such a genius!"

It was not until past 12 o'clock that the countdown ended and the time came to 1879.

The banquet was over, Chen Zhengwei and Anna returned to the carriage, and after a while they returned to the apartment.

Soon, Chen Zhengwei carried Anna and rolled onto the bed. Anna was also quite excited and kept responding.

Soon, the ground was covered with equipment.

And various sounds were coming from the room.

……

"Dad, there is something I want to tell you!" On the way back, Morris hesitated for a long time and decided to confess to his father.

"I seem to have offended someone at the banquet just now."

"Who did you offend? What happened?" Frank Nash was a little angry. You know, the people at the banquet just now were all wealthy businessmen and members of the Republican Party.

It's never a good thing to offend anyone.

He brought Morris here today to broaden his horizons, on the one hand to change his son's impetuous character, and on the other hand to pave the way for the future.

The same was true for other young people who were brought to the scene. They all followed their parents here to gain experience and pave the way.

Frank Nash felt upset when he thought about the many instructions he had given before coming here, but he didn't expect that he would still cause trouble.

Now he just hoped that the people Morris offended wouldn't be too troublesome.

"You can't blame me. I just asked why a Chinese was here. Who would have thought that he would react so strongly and come directly to trouble me at the banquet." Morris said with some indignation.

That person made him lose face in front of his friends, and he was in no mood for the rest of the party.

"What did you say?" Frank stared at Morris with his eyes wide open.

"Chinese?"

There was only one Chinese person at the entire banquet.

Chen Zhengwei.

"It's the Chinese..." Morris lowered his voice a little when he saw Frank's reaction.

"What happened?" Frank demanded.

When Frank learned what had happened, he really wanted to kick Morris off the carriage.

"FUCK!"

He was just thinking that the people Morris offended should not be made too troublesome.

Unexpectedly, the person he offended was the one he should least offend.

Even if he offended a tycoon like Evans, the other party might not take it to heart because Morris was just a child.

Or if he offended other people, even though his wealth was not that high, he had the influence of the newspaper and the other party would not bother with him.

But the one who got offended was the Chinese, the most troublesome one.

In recent months, various murders in San Francisco are related to that Chinese man.

The other party acted almost unscrupulously. Nine people were hanged at the dock, including the boss of a freight company. He dared to do such a big thing and even suppressed it.

There was the Kearney Street fight, Irish gang leader Otto, and many other murders, all connected to him!
