459: Chapter 70 Gru’s Wife_4 459: Chapter 70 Gru’s Wife_4 Benny appreciated startups with clear positioning—mainly because he didn’t have much money and could only invest in smaller ones.

“Eris, heh, hahaha, interesting, what a cunning snake.”

Following Rick Crusoe’s gaze, Benny saw the refined-bearded dream chaser from the West Coast.

“You mean that bearded guy?”

“It’s nothing, but you, how do you know Gru?”

Rick Crusoe grabbed another glass of wine from a tray held by a waiter and asked.

He and Benny had known each other before, just acquaintances, but he had only recently met Gru.

As it turned out, Gru was getting married today, and the two of them had encountered each other unexpectedly.

“The new Saint Rodu sheriff is pretty close to Geweil; we had a massage together the day before yesterday, agreed to come today, and Geweil is his wedding witness.”

Benny spoke cryptically; in fact, they had been together picking up girls.

Geweil was Niu Sen’s cousin and also the chairman of the California Children’s Health Development Foundation.

Rick Crusoe nodded imperceptibly and steered the conversation toward the massages with a smile.

—————–

When Cheng Daqi came over, Eris was bragging to a few acquaintances who were less important than himself about his experience working for Wolf.

He was actually Wolf Dracula’s dog, but from his proud demeanor, you’d think he was serving a King.

“That time, the state senator, Domis, he was so scared, I was like…”

“What did you say?”

Seeing CEO Cheng join the conversation, Eris’s face immediately tensed up.

He hadn’t realized how powerful CEO Cheng was before, but after CEO Cheng left, several giants dove straight into his identity trade business.

Gru, Temir, Geweil—each wanted a piece, CEO Cheng’s share was given away, and Eris also had to concede part of his own.

The only reason he could still get a piece of the identity trade cake was that he needed to be the second line of defense after Elder Li was breached.

“Chan, I was just joking, didn’t expect you here.”

He scanned the crowd around Eris, and two of them had tattoos on their necks and faces, indicating they might be from the gang circles.

Riffraff!

CEO Cheng put his arm around Eris’s shoulder and pulled him aside.

“Gru’s wife, I only know her name is Lavore Gallo.”

Actually, before today, CEO Cheng had asked Temir who Gru’s wife was, but at the time, Temir had just given a name.

CEO Cheng was certainly not satisfied, but when he continued to ask, Mi’er just looked at him with a strange expression and laughed.

Upon hearing CEO Cheng’s question, the West Coast dream chaser pressed his lips together and even his pupils seemed to contract a bit.

He whispered to CEO Cheng.

“Italian, a transgender person, male to female.”

Italian!

Transgender!

And damn it, male to female!

Damn, Gru, you’re really something!

Leaving morality aside, from today onwards, you’ll always be a top-notch figure in my book, Gru!

“Gru’s clear-headed, bless him, hahahaha!”

Toward the end, CEO Cheng became speechless and burst out laughing.

Eris didn’t dare to be as bold as CEO Cheng; he was even a bit nervous.

“Chan, our identity trade is getting bigger, I’m worried…”

“What are you worried about?”

Cheng Daqi tapped his shoulder.

“Your vision is too narrow, Eli, California is a Blue State, and it has the largest economy in the country.

These new immigrants coming in, most will settle here.

They will become the solid vote bank for the Democratic Party because the party’s policies favor new immigrants.

Think about it, you’re practically working for the Democratic Party, what’s there to fear?”

CEO Cheng’s smooth talk might fool Xiao Cao or others, but Eris could detect where the blarney was.

The reason CEO Cheng was buttering him up was because he and his partners still needed Eris as their second-line fuse.

Eris understood all of this!

But he was no match for the situation.

CEO Cheng, being so adroit, had taken only two months to master California, and in his presence, Eris felt like he really had become a dog.

No amount of dissatisfaction or anger mattered; he just gave an embarrassed smile and a subservient reply.

“You’re right, maybe I’m just being too timid.”

In the distance, Rick Crusoe, seeing this scene, downed the wine in his glass once again.
