The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 349 Now they are angry enough, add fuel to the fire
Palmer House Hotel, one of the most luxurious hotels in Chicago today.

It was built in 1871, but was destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire just a few weeks later.

After being rebuilt again, it became one of the most luxurious hotels in Chicago.

However, compared with the Tremont Hotel, it is more like a nouveau riche, and is far behind the Tremont Hotel in terms of service and popularity.

Those celebrities and politicians who stay and hold banquets will not be here in the first place.

However, the previous gang meeting was held here.

But things have changed recently.

After the Tremont Hotel changed its owner, some rumors spread that many salons and banquets were moved to the Palmer House Hotel.

Naturally, Mrs. Jones told her friends the news before she left Chicago, but the fact that the news spread so widely and so quickly was also due to the efforts of Porter Palmer, the owner of the Palmer House Hotel.

He was a big real estate developer in Chicago. He purchased a large amount of land on State Street and promoted its development, making it the most prosperous commercial street in Chicago.

This time, the Tremont Hotel changed its owner, and he keenly discovered the opportunity.

The Palmer House has an opportunity to become the finest and most prestigious hotel in Chicago.

At this time, some well-dressed men and women were walking into the hotel hand in hand. In addition to a dance party tonight, there was also a salon on economics.

"I think the arrival of that Chinese man is a disaster here!" In the salon, several people held wine glasses and formed a small circle.

These people are all wealthy businessmen in Chicago.

People like Chen Zhengwei are extremely unwelcome.

"Yes, Mr. Isaac Jones is a good man and a gentleman. No one expected something like this to happen! Although I can't do much, I can choose where to hold the salon!" A man smiled reservedly.

He is the organizer of this salon.

"Mr. Mayor...you all know it! And the Investigation Bureau has been bribed by that Chinese!" A gentleman holding a wine glass shrugged.

Everyone knows what kind of person Big Dollar Thompson is.

"I've recently listened to the Reform Party's proposals, and I think Chicago should make some changes. Bribery and corruption are rapidly deteriorating the environment of this city!" the gentleman continued.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Of course, at this time they all chose to forget that they had also bribed and colluded with government officials.

……

"They like fire so much, so I will help them add fuel to the fire!" Inside the carriage, Chen Zhengwei crossed his legs and looked out the window.

"It shouldn't burn too quickly! Otherwise, the people in the hotel won't be able to escape, and something terrible will happen!" Dapolan sat opposite Chen Zhengwei, smoking a cigar and speaking with a little uncertainty in his voice.

After all, the faster it burned, the better.

The carriage stopped just opposite the hotel.

His people have checked into the hotel rooms and will set things inside on fire!

When Dapolski was halfway through smoking a cigar, he saw that a room on the fourth floor of the hotel was much brighter than the other rooms. Then, in a short period of time, the small fire in the room turned into a big fire.

"Every time I see the flames, I feel warm!" Big Poland smiled as he looked at the flames in the room.

"It was December when I first arrived in San Francisco. Winter in San Francisco... you know what it's like, boss! It's so cold that it freezes you to the bone."

"At that time, I was only wearing a thin coat! There was a hole in it! I was holding myself and shaking like this every day..."

"I've loved flames ever since!"

Sitting opposite Greater Poland is Chen Zhengwei.

"Next time you might consider setting your own house on fire!" Chen Zhengwei laughed.

As the two chatted and reminisced about the past in Greater Poland, the fire grew bigger and bigger, thanks to the hotel's curtains, carpets and a lot of wooden decorations, and the hotel was already in chaos.

"It's on fire, it's on fire..."

A group of people in the salon were still talking loudly when the waiter pushed open the door and shouted, and a large amount of thick smoke came in.

The faces of the people in the salon changed immediately.

"Where's the fire?"

"Is the fire big?"

"Come on!"

At this moment, the group of people completely forgot their gentlemanly manners and fled out of the salon frantically. The hotel was filled with thick smoke and the crowd rushed in one direction to escape.

The fire started on the fourth floor. Although it had not spread to the third floor, thick smoke had already filled the corridor on the third floor.

The guests in the salon were caught up in the chaos and made it to the first floor safely, then ran out of the hotel.

Apart from some people who were pushed down and stepped on, and some who sprained their ankles, no one was seriously injured.

But everyone was in a mess.

At this time, everyone was standing outside the hotel looking at the thick smoke and fire in the hotel, and they were all a little frightened.

The scene of the Great Chicago Fire a few years ago is still vivid in my mind.

……

Looking at the people swarming around the hotel to escape, Chen Zhengwei said with a smile: "It's really lively and exciting!"

After all, he loves to join in the fun.

I came to the right place. It’s so hot and noisy here today!

"There's also someone coming out wrapped in a bed sheet? She looks pretty good! If she has no place to stay tonight, I can help her!" Chen Zhengwei said with interest, looking at a young woman in the crowd.

And by the light of the fire, the woman seemed to be quite good-looking.

After a moment, Chen Zhengwei waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

There are only two top hotels in Chicago. A fire broke out here and it will take at least several months to renovate them.

Unless those celebrities and rich people are prepared to go to those old ordinary hotels, if they do that, it means they are very dissatisfied with him. Chen Zhengwei will have to have a good talk with them.

What kind of hatred is it?
Less than two minutes after Chen Zhengwei left, another carriage stopped where Chen Zhengwei's carriage had been parked before.

Porter Palmer was not far away and hurried over after hearing that the hotel was on fire.

At this time, flames were burning on the fourth and fifth floors of the hotel, covering half of the floor. The hotel entrance was full of panicked guests, some even coming out wrapped in bed sheets.

A woman wrapped in a bed sheet, surrounded by several bodyguards.

Porter Palmer got off the carriage and said to the people around him, "Have the fire department arrived? Give them some money and ask them to put out the fire!"

Then he walked towards the young woman wrapped in the bed sheet and said with a bit of anxiety and apology:
"Miss Dupont, are you okay?"

He would remember all the distinguished customers in the hotel.

Especially this Miss Dupont.

The woman called Miss Dupont was in her early twenties, with fair skin, brown hair and deep eyes. She usually had a delicate beauty, and when she smiled, she gave people the beauty of first love.

However, at this moment, those eyes were full of anger.

She looked at Potter Palmer with a cold face: "Do you think I look fine now?"

"I'm very sorry. I will definitely make it up to you! Miss Dupont can go to my manor to rest first..."

"No need!" Miss Dupont said coldly.

"Miss, the carriage is here!" the bodyguard behind her reminded.

"My carriage is here!" Miss Dupont got on the carriage with a cold face. She never wanted to see Potter Palmer again in her life.

Running out of the hotel wearing only a bath towel was a lifelong shame for her.

She could already imagine how others would laugh at her when they found out about this.

"The best hotel in Chicago, except this one!" Miss Dupont said coldly after getting on the carriage.

Watching Miss Dupont leave, Potter Palmer frowned and then sighed.

Being a descendant of the DuPont family was not enough to make him wary, but such an incident would be a huge disaster for his hotel.

……

Chen Zhengwei returned to the hotel and said with a smile: "My anger has burned down along with the hotel."

"So find me some passionate girls! I want to add fuel to the fire!"

While sitting in the hall, I saw a woman wrapped in a large bed sheet walk in, followed by several bodyguards.

"So fashionable?" Chen Zhengwei raised his eyebrows. Almost instantly he recognized her as the woman outside the Palmer House Hotel just now. However, she was wrapped in a bath towel before, and now she was wearing a bed sheet.

Here comes the sense of fashion.

I couldn't see clearly just now because I was far away, but now I realize that this woman is not just good-looking, but extremely beautiful.

Especially those eyes, kind of alluring.

Judging from the hair color, he looks like a Frenchman? Chen Zhengwei thought about this while looking at the other person unscrupulously.

Soon, Miss Dupont felt a gaze as sharp as a knife.

Naked and unabashedly so.

Turning my head, I saw a tall yellow man wearing a red suit, looking very flamboyant.

"Indians?" Miss Dupont asked grimly.

"Ma'am, it's very rude of you to say that. Let me make it clear that I am Chinese!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"Your look is very rude, not what a gentleman should do!" Miss Dupont retorted.

"Everyone should boldly appreciate beauty!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

It would be even better if you don't wear clothes.

Miss Dupont snorted coldly and asked the bodyguard to check her in.

“The best suite is gone?”

"What suites are available?" Miss Dupont took a deep breath. She didn't want to stand here wrapped in a bed sheet anymore.

Especially the pair of eyes next to it.

Well, more than just a pair.

There is also Aaron and many of his men around him.

If she didn't feel it was too embarrassing to turn around and leave now, as if she was showing weakness, she would have wanted to change to another hotel.

When Miss Dupont entered the elevator with her bodyguards, she turned her head and glared at Chen Zhengwei.

As the elevator door closed, the bodyguard beside him whispered, "Miss, those people just now were not ordinary!"

"I can see that!" said Miss Dupont. It was obvious that the people around were all together.

Anyone who goes out with so many people is definitely not an ordinary person.

……

Chen Zhengwei waved towards the hotel front desk.

"What was the name of that woman just now?"

"Boss, her registered name is Cicely Dupont!"

"Cicely... DuPont?" Chen Zhengwei had a playful expression.

From the DuPont family?
After all, there are not many people with this surname in the United States, and he has several bodyguards, so he must be rich or noble.
