The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 250 Other people’s things are better, and so are women
Late at night, in an Italian restaurant in North Beach, Duccio sat neatly dressed at the table, surrounded by senior members of the Vito family.

"Is Jamie Mays dead?" Duccio asked.

"He was hanged under a street light! The body was collected by the Investigation Bureau!" Jacopo shrugged.

"Doesn't he have a cooperation with Chinese Chen?" Fabio asked in surprise. He didn't even know what conflict had occurred between Chinese Chen and the Jews.

In just half a night, Jamie Mays's men were wiped out.

"It is said that he robbed China Chen's money! He bought a large amount of opium from China Chen before, and he also cooperated with him in the club, so he knew that China Chen had a large sum of money to deposit in the bank." Jacopo explained, this was also the information he got.

"It is said that $22 was recovered from the restaurant where Jamie Mays had the accident, and $8 is still missing..."

Camilo, Duccio's deputy, whistled frivolously.

"China's Chen Ke is really rich..."

Then he knocked on the table and said:

"Although I don't like Jews either! They are too greedy and arrogant!"

“But now China Chen’s territory is bigger!”

“Although our relationship with him seems good… Hong Shun Tang, Martin Belen, Otto, Jamie Mays… Who’s next?”

"Could it be us?"

"Although I don't want to say bad things about him, too many people have died in the past six months! China Chen has a huge appetite and will never be satisfied."

After Camilo finished speaking, he swept his eyes over everyone's faces and said:
"I'm not saying that we should go against him, but we must be vigilant against him!"

The others looked at Duccio, but he didn't say anything.

What Camilo said was what he wanted to say, but he said it through Camilo's mouth.

Although their relationship with China Chen is pretty good now...but China Chen's expansion speed and unscrupulous means are too worrying.

Of course, we can only be vigilant.

Even the FBI stood on China Chen's side, and the mayor of San Francisco had to give in when facing China Chen.

……

Chen Zhengwei got up at noon the next day and read the newspaper while having morning tea.

Sure enough, the headlines in the newspaper were about last night's gunfight and explosion.

"Gangs fighting in the streets, San Francisco becomes a battlefield!"

"The Investigation Bureau acted in time and killed dozens of gang members!"

"Michael has made another contribution!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile, but what the newspaper said was right, he was also a member of the Investigation Bureau.

There’s nothing wrong in beating dozens of gangsters to death!

And there is less written above.

You can't say that the death toll in the fight was more than 200, right?

After all, we still have to consider the impact of public opinion.

After having morning tea, the first thing Chen Zhengwei did was to distribute money.

A total of more than 500 people were dispatched yesterday, of which more than 200 gunmen were the main force, and the others were just auxiliary.

Each shooter gets 80, and everyone else gets 40.
As Chen Zhengwei's business grew, he became more generous in giving out money.

After all, these thugs are risking their lives. If they are not paid enough, who would risk their lives for them?
Then he called Datou Hua and Huang Qiuchen from yesterday.

"Brother Wei!" Both of them came in with joy.

"So I said whoever finds the murderer will receive a reward of 30,000 yuan!" Chen Zhengwei said to the two of them.

"Brother Wei, you were the one who found the person. We were just lucky and got the box here! And all the brothers who did the work should deserve credit!" Datou Hua said hurriedly.

"Yes, Brother Wei!" Anthony Wong also nodded.

The two of them didn't expect Chen Zhengwei to give them 30,000 yuan, nor did they dare to ask for it, because they really didn't make such a great contribution.

If I gave them both 30,000, what would the other brothers who worked with me yesterday think?
If I could promote two of them, they would be satisfied.

"It's good that you two know this, but you two are so lucky. What will others think if I don't give you a reward?" Chen Zhengwei smiled.

He took out two stacks of money from the drawer.

"Here are the four thousand dollars for you!"

"Thank you, Brother Wei!" The two of them immediately smiled happily.

They can afford this money, and it is a huge sum of money for them.

"Remember to bring a few hundred dollars for the wedding banquet!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

Only by taking the money and hosting a banquet to invite other people can they keep the money securely.

"The scholar will arrange other things for you later, so do your best!"

The two became even more excited after hearing this.

"Thank you Viagra!"

"Sometimes good luck is more important than anything else! I am very optimistic about you two!" Chen Zhengwei smiled and let the two leave.

Good luck is indeed important.

There were so many people yesterday, and they picked up the box as soon as they saw it.

Moreover, they also went in first, which shows that they dared to fight and charge.

You are brave enough to fight and have good luck, so you deserve to be in the position.

Now that they have made a fortune, they host banquets and banquets, and others are always envious of them. They have also gained some reputation.

After a while, Chen Zhengwei asked someone to find Chen Zhenghu.

"Weige!"

“Aren’t there still a few people left from those Yixingtang people we captured before? Send them all to Michael.” Chen Zhengwei said directly.

"Tell him that the murderer who shot old Ford was a Japanese."

"Then let the newspaper report it again!"

"Since Michael took office as detective, he has solved so many major cases! It would be unreasonable if he didn't become the director!" Chen Zhenghu said with a smile.

"How can it be that simple? Being a director has nothing to do with ability!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

The directors are all appointed by the mayor. It depends on relationships and political stance, and has something to do with ability, but not much.

Especially it has nothing to do with the ability to solve crimes.

I have promised to support Scannell as the next director, and once Scannell steps down, Mike can take over.

We are all family anyway!

……

That afternoon, a new director of investigation took office.

Coming out of the mayor's office, facing the reporters' cameras at the entrance of the city hall, the new director Bill Scott made a solemn promise:
"After I take office, I will step up efforts to change the security environment in San Francisco! Things like yesterday will never happen again!"

"The duty of the Investigation Bureau is to maintain public order and protect the safety of the people..."

"Director Scott, what do you think about the fact that the previous director of investigation died in a brothel on the night he took office?" a reporter asked immediately.

"This was an accident, and I'm very sorry, but accidents happen every day. I believe he is determined to change, but he hasn't had the time to do it yet! As for his private life, I don't want to comment!" Scott said with a relaxed look.

After dealing with the reporters, Bill Scott came to the investigation bureau and saw several sheriffs and their men coming to greet him at the door. Bill Scott walked and chatted with them with a smile on his face. After arriving at the office, he kept Michael.

"Michael, I know you. I want to talk to China Chen! I'm not here to change anything, but someone must be in this position!" Scott said while sitting in a chair.

Michael showed a bit of surprise on his face. He didn't expect the new director to be so straightforward. "So can you help me make an appointment?" Scott smiled.

"Of course, Chief!" Michael nodded. He had no reason to refuse.

After Michael left, Scott leaned back in his chair and stretched.

Ever since the previous director died in a brothel on the day he took office, everyone knows that this position is not easy to hold.

He was forced to do this.

Now that China Chen is so powerful, the mayor can't fully support him, so he never thought about doing anything.

What's more, a new round of elections will begin in a few months, which means that he can stay in this position for about half a year.

Being able to leave office smoothly is his greatest achievement.

……

Of course, Chen Zhengwei also knew the news of the new director's appointment, and even knew what he said to reporters in the city hall.

But it doesn’t matter, after all, every investigation director will say this after taking office.

You can't just say, "I'm just here to get paid, the investigation bureau doesn't want to intervene, and it can't intervene."

So when Michael came to see him, Chen Zhengwei was not surprised at all.

"The new director wants to talk to you!" Michael took the bottle and poured himself half a glass of whiskey, then took out a cigar from Chen Zhengwei's cigar box.

"He said he didn't come here to change anything, but that someone had to be in this position!"

"This new director is very smart! But it's not what he says, what's more important is what he does!" Chen Zhengwei smiled and then said:
"Tomorrow! I have an appointment to go to the theater tonight."

This is not a show of force.

It’s more important to just go and watch the show.

The Director can see you tomorrow.

"What an arrogant excuse!" Michael couldn't help but say.

"After all, I also have working hours! If there is anything, we can only talk about it tomorrow!" Chen Zhengwei took out his pocket watch seriously.

"It's already 4:20, and I still have ten minutes!"

Michael immediately sneered, what the hell are the working hours?

After dinner in the evening, Chen Zhengwei took a carriage to the theater district. It was his first time here.

There are high-end carriages everywhere on the road, the pedestrians here are all well-dressed, and there are tall theaters around.

When they arrived at the agreed place, Chen Zhengwei got off the carriage and saw Du Qiao getting off in front of him.

"Mr. Chen!" Du Qiao, who was well-dressed, walked over with a few of his men.

"Du Qiao, you look good!" Chen Zhengwei laughed and shook hands with Du Qiao.

"I heard that you got your money back? Many of my men have been dreaming of getting rich these days, but now their dreams are shattered!" Du Qiao said with a smile.

The two exchanged a few words at the door, and Du Qiao waved to the side.

The theater manager who had been standing aside came over and said, "Good evening, gentlemen!"

"The location has been arranged!"

"I heard that if you want to get into the backstage, you need to become a member?" Chen Zhengwei asked casually.

Only members can enter the backstage at will and negotiate prices with the ballet dancers backstage.

"Mr. Chen, you have always been our most distinguished member! You can enter the backstage at any time!" The manager was very sensible. He obviously knew who Chen Zhengwei was, the most popular Chinese in San Francisco today.

"I'm a little looking forward to it!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

The evening's play was "Sleeping Beauty". After watching for a while, Chen Zhengwei understood why those people liked to watch ballet so much.

Because I wear less.

She jumps on the stage in a short skirt. Although she wears dance pants underneath the skirt which is slightly higher than the knee, it fully shows the dancer's body contour and posture.

"This Aurora is being praised by Arlette!" Duccio whispered while watching the ballet.

Aurora is the name of the heroine in this play, and this actress is also the most conspicuous one on the stage.

"Which Arlette?" Chen Zhengwei asked casually.

"William Alvaro Arlette, you should know him. A banker!" Duccio said.

"Him!" Chen Zhengwei suddenly realized that he was one of the three candidates of the Republican Party this time.

He was not interested in this heroine at first, her face was too round and not attractive enough. Although her figure was good, her headlights were not big enough.

Actually, she looks a bit like Audrey Hepburn, but Chen Zhengwei has never been very fond of her.

But now I'm starting to get interested.

After all, other people's things are the best.

The same goes for women.

After the curtain call, Chen Zhengwei was led backstage by the waiter, and several other well-dressed gentlemen did the same thing.

"Good evening, gentlemen!" Chen Zhengwei said to them with a smile.

"Good evening!" Everyone was very polite. When they saw Chen Zhengwei walking towards the backstage, they actually felt a little regretful.

Even if you don't know Chen Zhengwei, you can guess it's him.

But they couldn't retreat now, as that would be a loss of face. They could only stand aside and let Chen Zhengwei pass first.

They were respectable people.

When we arrived at the backstage of the ballet theater, it was actually a hall where many actors stood to rest, and there were some chairs against the wall.

In addition, there are some small rooms on the side.

"Good evening, Mr. Chen!" an actor greeted on the side.

Chen Zhengwei turned his head and suddenly remembered that it was a part-time staff member of his club.

But now she's a little unrecognizable with clothes and makeup on.

Chen Zhengwei nodded casually, found a chair to sit down, and then looked at the actors in front of him.

Some people try to stretch their limbs and show their advantages.

Some people subconsciously avoided Chen Zhengwei's gaze. After all, a Chinese... is not a good choice.

"Where's Aurora?" Chen Zhengwei asked the waiter after looking around.

"Sir, she is under contract!" The waiter was a little nervous, the person in front of him was very dangerous.

However, the sponsor of Aurora's actors is not an ordinary wealthy person.

"She can have another contract. I don't mind! Do you know what the future economic trend will be? It's the sharing economy!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"Look, you don't understand!"

"Sir, I can't make the decision on this!" The waiter looked a little embarrassed and looked towards a room next to him.

The meaning is obvious, you can go meet her yourself.

But he certainly couldn't bring Aurora with him, if he did, he would be dead.

Chen Zhengwei did not make things difficult for him. He looked at the actor with interest. He was tall, about 1.7 meters tall. His temperament was not as sweet and unrestrained as the others. His eyes were narrow and had a bit of indifference and charm.

The most important thing is to have a good figure.
