My American magical life
Chapter 934 - 934 74 Vertical and Horizontal 2-2

934: Chapter 74: Vertical and Horizontal 2-2 934: Chapter 74: Vertical and Horizontal 2-2 In the past, it was about dividing by skin color, now it’s about dividing by wealth.

If you’re not a billionaire, you can’t live in this community in Niusen, a threshold that directly excludes all black people.

“Governor, this is Lisa, the CEO of New Era.”

For Cheng Daqi’s visit, the Governor almost received him with the highest honors; his father was a servant to an oil magnate, in a sense, he could also be considered old money in America, and his etiquette was so impeccable it made people shudder with respect.

“Haha, welcome, Lisa, Chan, long time no see.”

The Governor embraced the two with pleasantries.

“It’s not that we haven’t seen each other, it’s that seeing you isn’t easy.”

Cheng Daqi showed none of the willingness to play along with the host, he always used to think Achilles was too arrogant.

Now, he also wants to eat beef!

Not because he was a small man reveling in his elevated status, but entirely to show his attitude and stance.

Cheng Daqi could be polite, but he had to respect the fruits of his own struggles; too much humility would only make him look like a fool!

In fact, if you think about it carefully, teaching people to be humble and submissive is problematic.

Teaching behavior without explaining reasons, it’s purely for disciplining cattle and horses.

“Chan, you know we’re friends, anytime you want, I can be ready for you,” Niusen replied with a smile.

Jennifer stood by her husband, feeling a tremendous, illusory yet suffocating pressure wrapping around her.

Even when meeting the elite of the Shamite wanderers, Niusen had never lowered his posture to such an extent.

She didn’t understand, nor did she want to.

Marrying a politician had given her a significant social status, but it also exposed her to all the hidden undercurrents beneath this world’s splendor.

“You are Mrs.

Jennifer?”

Cheng Daqi and the Governor’s wife exchanged polite greetings, then followed Niusen into his villa.

Politicians in America never shy away from making money, and a politician like Niusen who managed to become a state leader naturally was not short of money, not to mention he was already wealthy before entering politics.

In this country, justice exists only in news reports and politicians’ speeches.

Some people despise the Monkey King, but America doesn’t even have a Monkey King.

That’s why Cheng Daqi dares to be so aggressive in front of a political leader like Niusen.

“To prepare for this family banquet, I specifically hired the best chef team in San Francisco, they specialize in Italian cuisine, you know, there are a lot of Italians in San Francisco.”

The Italian mob, kid, get it?

Ordinary people might think Niusen was introducing Italian cuisine, but Cheng and Lisa quickly caught on to his real meaning.

Mr.

Governor was giving Cheng a lot of face, Cheng Daqi wanted to show off, he endured it.

But this doesn’t mean the Governor is toothless; he is displaying power right now.

“There are a lot of Italians in San Francisco” = “Kid, I’m backed by the Italian mob, you can show off, but not too wildly!”

What does it mean to contend without breaking?

This is to contend without breaking!

First, show off the power, give a little tug, and no one tears off the other’s face, but both have already hinted at their core stance.

Cheng: Today, I’m going to make you bow down!

Niusen: Sure, but I won’t agree to just anything!

Lisa might not have realized that Cheng Daqi’s confrontation had already ended; throughout the whole meal, she ate with trepidation.

The blonde white girl carried her Glock with her; she wasn’t mentally prepared for Cheng to draw a gun at a cough, but was pretty much decided that if Cheng caused trouble, she would just go all out with him.

Unfortunately, the meal was nothing but calm; Cheng and Niusen talked about everything from the West Coast to baseball, from baseball to the Pacific Storm, from the Pacific Storm to the hurricanes on the East Coast.

Even the Governor recommended a ‘reliable real estate broker’ to Cheng.

After several rounds of drinks and a variety of dishes, Jennifer found the right moment to invite Lisa.

“Lisa, since you’re interested in photography, why not come see my photo collection room?

I’ve taken a lot of pictures of California’s landscapes over the years.”

The blonde white girl understood that next, Cheng Daqi was going to talk to Niusen alone about things that shouldn’t be heard by too many others, so she said.

“Sure, it would be an honor to discuss photography with a director like you.”

After the two ladies left, Cheng Daqi and Niusen locked eyes in silence for a while.

Because the stakes involved were too high, neither wanted to be the first to speak.

Cheng threw a cigarette to the Governor and said,

“How come Will didn’t come today?”

The Governor replied with a meaningful hint.

“Yusuf has gone to San Rodolfo; he’s hosting that deputy director from NITA, you know him, right?”

The implication was pretty clear, even a middle school student could understand.

“You mean I don’t have to worry about the BEC investigation anymore?”

“Yeah, more or less, they won’t find anything, and if you want, I could even have NITA give a report saying BEC is the best cryptocurrency in the world.”

It was a revelation, even though the dealings between Niusen and Cheng were only a few billion, a thunderclap—it might not be a thunderclap, but Niusen was making his stance very clear, indeed a thunderclap in the tug of the negotiations.

United we prosper, the Governor is a nice guy, he’s totally the benevolent thin soup type.

He presented his condition—I can create better value for BEC, Chan, will you take it or not!

Of course not!

After all this tugging, and even coming in person to talk, and you still think you can pass that easily?

No way in hell!

Cheng checked his watch with a glance; hmm, it was still the one that Mi’er gave him.
