NOVEL NEXT Chapter 24 Anthony is humiliated
In a high-end hotel in Manhattan, a cocktail party for the real top people in New York was being held. All the participants stomped their feet and became real big shots that shocked the whole of New York.
"Sorry, I have something else to do." With a formulaic smile, a middle-aged man dressed as a successful man in a suit and tie who had just chatted with Anthony turned around and left, leaving only Anthony and Gin here.
"Boss, are you okay?" Gin on the side asked with some worry as he watched his boss drain the red wine in his glass with a gloomy face.
Anthony waved his hands with a gloomy face, and laughed at himself: "It's okay, isn't this all expected? Although I have some money on hand now, and there are thousands of people under me. But among these really big shots, In my eyes, it’s nothing, and I deserve to be rejected. At least the other person didn’t make me look bad, right?”
"How about asking Councilman Chris to introduce you to me? It might be more effective," Gin suggested.
Anthony shook his head and said softly: "It's useless. Although my idea of planting plants in his subconscious can greatly improve his affection for me, it will not make him have no bottom line. For him, it can It's not bad to help to this extent. You must know that today's party is really a gathering of the top people in New York. Even that guy Kingpin would have to spend some effort to attend such a party, let alone someone like me. .”
Gin nodded silently, then glanced around, and then asked: "Then should we go back directly?"
"No, I have one last goal. If I can get this guy's friendship, the ones just mentioned are nothing. He is a really powerful big shot." Anthony looked at the slender figure in the crowd walking towards this direction. Coming over, he couldn't help but tidy up his appearance a little and said seriously.
"Is the boss talking about Tony Stark?" Tony Stark is a famous figure in this world. Even a person like Gin who doesn't care about other things knows about him. But after taking a look at the slender and cynical figure in front of me, I couldn't help but narrow my eyes and said in a deep voice: "I think it might not go so smoothly."
"Maybe." Anthony reached for two glasses of red wine from the waiter, then showed off his best form and walked over there: "How can you know the result if you don't try it? I remember someone said A very interesting saying, life is like chocolate beans, you will never know what it tastes until you taste it yourself.”
For Anthony, it takes a lot of effort to participate in a drinking party between top people like this. But for a chairman of a military-industrial giant like Tony Stark who controls the lifeline of national security, he doesn’t know how many times he has turned down gatherings of this level. In his opinion, his arrival should be an honor for the organizer of this party.
While raising and lowering his hands to the female companion beside him, he talked low-key and lightly to the people around him who were surrounding him to please him. Of course, because of his status, most of the time it is others who are trying to please him and he who is teasing them. No way, who made him Tony Stark, so he can be so willful.
"Mr. Tony Stark, nice to meet you," Anthony held two glasses of red wine, handed one to him, and greeted him with his kindest expression.
It's just that Tony Stark didn't seem to appreciate it and didn't take the red wine handed over by Anthony. Instead, he pretended to pull down the tinted sunglasses on his eyes slightly, and looked at Anthony with a playful look.
After looking at Anthony like a monkey for a while, Tony Stark turned his head and asked the female companion and bodyguard next to him: "Who is this person? Do you know him?"
Anthony himself was embarrassed because Tony Stark refused to accept the red wine he had served and then looked at himself like a monkey. After hearing what he said, his face immediately stiffened, and he felt a mixture of shame and anger as the group of people surrounding Tony Stan looked at him playfully.
His woman and bodyguard heard this and shook their heads at Tony Stark, expressing that they did not know Anthony. Of course, it may be that they really don't know each other, because although the Nu Gang was very high-profile in Manhattan during this period, Anthony himself is a low-key person, so there are really not many people who know Anthony himself.
Of course, even if they knew it, they probably wouldn't bother to understand it. Because although Anthony is now considered a figure among the gangs, in the eyes of these real big shots in New York, he is just a dregs of society. The seventh-rank officials, who were the disciples of the prime minister, and people like them who served front and back in front of the truly powerful people, naturally had their eyes high and disdained to know social dregs like Anthony.
Anthony suppressed a smile of shame and embarrassment, and then said to Tony Stark: "It's no wonder Mr. Tony Stark doesn't know about me. Compared to Mr. Tony Stark, I'm just insignificant." You little guy, I am able to attend this cocktail party because of Senator Chris.”
Before Anthony could continue to say anything, Tony Stark interrupted Anthony's next words with an oh, and took the glass of red wine from Anthony's hand with a playful expression. Anthony nodded and said: "Little man, no wonder. But since If you know that you are a nobody, then you should have some self-awareness. You know, not everyone is qualified to toast to me."
After finishing speaking, before Anthony could say anything, Tony Stark let go of the wine glass in his hand. The red wine fell to the ground with a clang, and the wine was scattered all over the floor. Then under Anthony's livid face, Tony Stark said to one of the people next to him who had just complimented him: "Mr. Fox, your wine glass is too slippery. Next time, remember to customize some good ones."
"Understood, what Mr. Tony Stark said is," the person who just kept trying to please him is the organizer of this party. He is one of the members of the National Security Council. Although his ranking is quite low, he is still better than Anthony Fei. I don’t know how much higher the level is for Councilman Chris, who I tried my best to contact.
But even such a big man is trying his best to please Tony Stark. Although he knew clearly that what Tony Stark had just said was all lies, he still nodded in agreement, which was quite a bit misleading.
Just when Tony was about to turn around and leave, ignoring Anthony who was full of shame, anger and embarrassment, he suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to Fox beside him and continued: "By the way, next time we have this kind of party, don't invite everyone. . Otherwise, it wouldn’t be too embarrassing if a little person I don’t know wants to get to know me, and I don’t know him.”
"That's what Mr. Tony Stark said," Fox replied with a smile on his face. Just as he saw Tony Stark away, he turned around and his face couldn't help but change, and he said to Anthony with a smile on his face. : "Sir, I don't know how you entered this cocktail party I held, but I hope I won't see you again when I hold a cocktail party again, thank you."
After saying that, he turned around and left as if he had touched something dirty, leaving only those who were looking at the excitement with playful expressions and pointing at Anthony. Gin also realized something was wrong at this time and came closer. With a worried look on his face, he saw that Anthony was about to break the wine glass in his hand, and couldn't help but said: "Boss"
"Gin, let's go." The coldness in Anthony's tone made even Gin, who had been with Anthony for so long, feel a bone-chilling chill.
After getting in the car and driving back to the Nu Gang headquarters, Gin looked through the rearview mirror at Anthony who was silent and closed his eyes behind him and asked worriedly: "Boss, are you okay?"
"Of course it's okay. I'm fine. I just figured out one thing now." Anthony opened his eyes and said coldly: "I am a gangster and want to increase my strength. There is no need to lick those big shots and superheroes." I have come to ask them to give me something. What I want, I should take it with my own hands."
"Boss, do you want me to kill them?" Jun Huichen died and Ginjiu was equally angry. And he also found that his boss's current state was very wrong, and he felt like a volcano about to erupt. For fear that his boss might hold something back, Gin suggested.
"There is no need. Today they regard me as an ant, but I will make it impossible for them to climb up in the future."
