Chapter 392: Cocktail Party·Continued (Seeking Monthly Tickets, Subscriptions, and Recommendations) Seeking Monthly Tickets!!!

After dealing with the Death Walker and Bullseye, Kai was free for a while. →It's not that he didn't have anything to do. To be honest, he still had a lot of things to do. For example, for the joint exhibition of the Louvre and the Art Institute of Chicago, he needed to coordinate with the security of the museum and the Louvre. There was also the Expo. The security level of this Expo was very high. It was not undertaken by the Chicago police alone. The state government would also arrange some security. In addition, because the president would come, the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI and the Secret Service (although the Secret Service was affiliated with the Department of Homeland Security, it was more independent and was regarded as an independent agency most of the time) would also participate.

But in Chicago, Deputy Director Cooper would lead the team and serve as the commander-in-chief. Although this commander-in-chief could not command anyone except the Chicago police, he was also a high-ranking official, and Kai was also pulled into the rapid response team to deal with emergencies.

Kai complained about this in front of Cooper more than once. He was a criminal detective, but he actually went to maintain public order... It was not professional enough. To be honest, whether Kai was a soldier or a policeman, he had never been responsible for the on-site security of such a large-scale event. His specialty was solving cases or catching thieves. Of course, he was better at killing people and maintaining order. It was really difficult for him.

But Cooper always smiled and talked about other things, but he just didn't let anyone go. He naturally knew that Kai was clean and efficient. In just less than three years of police career, this guy shot and killed more than 70 people... This number was too exaggerated. Fortunately, he had enough reasons to kill criminals, otherwise the senior police officers would have planned to find a few psychologists to evaluate Kai's mental state. If a murderer entered the police station, it would be too funny.

It was precisely because of this that Cooper needed Kai as the last line of defense to prevent some unmanageable situations.

There was no way. Whether it was the President of the United States or the world's number one playboy, they were praised and criticized internationally. There were as many people who loved them as those who hated them. Let's not talk about the President. There were really too many people who wanted the President of the United States to die. And what about Tony? It's not much better. Until now, many people still believe that the arms giants are behind the US's foreign wars. Tony's Stark Group happens to be such an arms giant. In addition, Tony is a cocky king who likes to make headlines all day long, which attracts more hatred. For example, Lockheed Martin is no less large than Stark, but it is not as high-profile as Stark, so the market value is a little different.

In short, there are as many people watching Tony as the president. If you pretend to be cool, you will be struck by lightning.

Although these two things are troublesome to talk about, they are just like that when it comes to Kai. As for the art exhibition, he is just a figurehead. The patrol will be responsible for the order outside the exhibition hall on that day. The Louvre and the museum have their own security inside the exhibition hall. Kai has nothing to do with the specific things.

So Kai is really free now!

Otherwise, he would not come to this inexplicable cocktail party. →

Tony Stark is a little party prince, claiming that he spends 360 days out of 365 days in various dance parties. Of course, this is exaggerated. If this is true, no matter how rich Tony Stark is, he will die young. Unless he can replace his kidneys with a pair of strong ones.

But this guy really likes Kai parties. Although the cocktail party looks more formal, it doesn't matter to Tony Stark. They are all about drinking and picking up girls, just a little wilder and a little more sanctimonious.

Moreover, all the parties Tony Stark participates in are quite high-end.

Although Chicago is no longer the Chicago of the past and can no longer be compared with New York and Los Angeles, it is still the economic and cultural center of the central and northern United States. Although it can't gather a large number of celebrities to support it like Tony holds a party in Los Angeles, it can also attract a large number of people with sufficient status and qualifications to attend the party.

Although Chicago is far away from the center of the world, it still holds the attitude of Old Money. (Old money is not old money, but represents traditional aristocrats or traditional wealthy classes) They look down on the impetuousness of those emerging cities, and envy their prosperity and colorfulness. You know, in the past, local celebrities in Chicago rarely had the opportunity to attend the high-end cocktail parties held by Stark.

In short, the senses are very strange. They often show contempt and disdain for those emerging classes, but they are equally envious and jealous in their hearts. They are eager to be recognized and eager to revive the glory of the past.

So after the news of Stark's cocktail party spread, a large number of local celebrities in Chicago tried every means to get an invitation.

When Kai drove his Cobra 427 to Daxia, the parking lot was already full of various luxury cars.

Because it was a private cocktail party, there was no red carpet appearance before the cocktail party like in Los Angeles. Old money doesn't like this.

The attitude of old money is to be low-key.

But being low-key is low-key, but you can't lose your style!

Starting from the parking lot, every design reveals the taste of this privileged class.

The parking lot of the building has three floors. The bottom floor is directly divided and designated as a designated parking space. To enter there, you must show an invitation letter. The invitation letter contains a special chip, which records the details of the invitee. Information, once the information does not match, entry is not allowed. Very Stark.

After entering the parking lot, a dedicated parking boy will park the car in a pre-arranged parking space according to the number on the invitation letter. Then the person will be taken to the special elevator for the reception and taken directly to the reception site.

Teresa followed Kai and entered the Grand View Garden as if she were Grandma Liu. She suddenly felt the aura of privilege rushing towards her face, which was terrifying. This made this strong woman very reserved, like a village girl who had never seen the world.

Teresa wore a dignified yet playful little sequined black dress today. The hem opened up her thighs. It was sexy but not too frivolous. Plus, she wore a limited-edition Hermès dress that cost her a month’s salary. Black crocodile leather bag. She didn't bring any jewelry, not because she didn't want to, but because those brand-name jewelry were too expensive and of no practical use, so she wouldn't wear them normally. In fact, some cheaper jewelry is also very beautiful, but Teresa is unwilling to do so. After all, she would rather not wear it on such an occasion than use cheap jewelry, as she will be looked down upon.

To be honest, if not bringing a bag would make her look unprepared, she wouldn't even bring a bag. As a strong woman, she has never been too fond of these fancy things. What can such a small bag do? It has no practical value and cannot hold anything except a few balloons and a few cosmetics. And it’s damn expensive, five figures! Dollars!

Kai is wearing a blue solid-color flat-lapel custom-made three-piece suit. He has a very British style. He combs his hair like an adult. He still thinks so, mainly because he looks handsome, has long legs, and has a good figure. The proportions are perfect, the typical clothes rack, no matter how you look at it, it looks energetic.

There is nothing wrong with her except that the female companion is a little mature.

Looking at Teresa who couldn't even walk, Kai said funnyly: "What? Are you scared?"

Teresa held Kai's arm. She glared at Kai fiercely when she heard this, but said nothing. She just took a deep breath to calm herself down and be in the best condition to cope with today's reception. Although she is just a small person, with Director Cooper's guidance, it is not difficult to get to know some high-level figures. It is rare to win the favor of everyone present.

Theresa had really prepared well for this. In order to practice her smile and tone of voice, she took leave yesterday and practiced quietly at home.

This caused quite a stir in the detective bureau, and the workaholic actually asked for leave.

bite.

The elevator arrived quickly. When the elevators opened, a luxurious but unassuming cocktail party was presented to everyone.

A waiter came forward immediately and led the two of them to the cold meal. The reception has not officially started yet, so everyone can drink some champagne and eat some snacks to cushion their stomachs.

When I walked to the cold table, I saw Cooper and his wife chatting happily with some people.

Cooper also noticed Kai and immediately waved them over.

At this moment, Teresa immediately lost her previous restraint and became extremely generous. She raised her head and chest, and led Kai towards Cooper very naturally. At first glance, it seemed as if it was Teresa who was invited, and Kai was the temporary male companion.

Don't blame others for misunderstanding, after all, their age is there. Men's aesthetics have always been very specific, and they are all young and beautiful ladies. Who would be so bored as to bring a woman who is more than ten years older than him to attend such an occasion?

So many people regard Kai as a pretty boy...

I have to say that Teresa is indeed a strong woman, and she adapted quickly to this situation! Soon the conversation started with a group of old men, but Kai didn't listen carefully because he wasn't interested. Kai had always stayed away from such hypocritical things. He knew that he could not play such a political game. So just leave Teresa's side. He is just a tool anyway. After bringing her in, she will be free.

Kai walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in a corner, holding a glass of champagne. Staring at the night view outside the window in a daze. During this period, several older mature women actually came over to strike up a conversation. These women also thought Kai was a pretty boy...

Out of politeness, Kai did not get angry, but politely rejected them, and told them that he was very professional and had been hired by someone today, so he would not take any other business at will, but if they really needed a male companion For companionship, he can introduce a few good friends to them.

A group of ladies and mature women praised Kai's professionalism. They just like boys who are good-looking and have such professional ethics. They all decided that it would last forever and they would have the opportunity to discuss business matters together. But they didn’t refuse Kai’s introduction.

After all, Kai just said that these boys have serious jobs, and they usually don't do it except through introductions from acquaintances.

Well, don’t think that only men like career temptations, women do too.

Men and women are equal.

After sending away a few waves of people, Kai began to feel dazed.

Until a woman came over.

"I'm sorry, I was cheated tonight...eh, is it you?"

Kai thought it was another empty, lonely and cold older mature woman who came to seduce a man, so he blurted out out of habit.

It's like turning around and seeing an acquaintance.

"Alexandra? Why are you here?" The person who came was the female model that Kai had saved in the Seven Deadly Sins serial murder case. Compared to before, she looked more beautiful, not because she suddenly became beautiful or had surgery, but because of a change in temperament. She was more relieved and free-spirited than before, and it was comfortable to look at.

"Puchi!" Alexandra couldn't help laughing when she saw Kai's embarrassed expression. "You are a policeman, and you pretend to be a male public relations?"

Kai blushed, and then quickly returned to normal. He shrugged. "Should I explain to them one by one who I am and what I do? Anyway, since they think I am a male public relations, I'm lucky to satisfy them. Anyway, I'm free anyway."

Although it was a prank, Kai still felt a little embarrassed to be seen by acquaintances, so he quickly changed the subject.

"What about you? How are you doing recently?"

When Alexandra heard Kai's concern about her recent situation, she immediately showed a beautiful smile, which really meant that she was charming. She was really happy. If it was the previous Kai, he would not care about this at all.

"Not bad, I turned down a lot of work and started doing some charity activities. Suddenly I felt that this was not bad, I could help others and I was fulfilled. It was not like before, working every day, thinking about climbing up, or worrying about popularity, figure, skin, and there was no room for anything else in my mind..."

As she spoke, Alexandra showed a trace of regret and a relief. But soon she laughed excitedly.

"After going through those things, I also reflected a lot. Maybe it's because I'm atonement, so I rarely have nightmares now."

Kai really didn't know that Alexandra had nightmares because of the previous things. After all, he never cared. But her transformation still made Kai like her more. I don't know why, people always have more kindness towards those who have lost their way and returned.

Maybe this proves that people can be saved?

The two chatted with each other, and learned from the chat that although Alexandra turned down a lot of work, it did not affect her career. On the contrary, because she does charity everywhere, she has been recognized by more people.

The United States is a society that advocates charity and public welfare. Although many charities and public welfare are means of tax avoidance, Americans do not have the moral cleanliness of the Chinese. Others do good things, whether for fame or profit, they are worthy of praise. Unlike those people in China, when they see others donating money, they either say it is acidic or morally blackmailed, saying that others have made so much money, why don’t they donate more. Oh, the money others make is not blown by the wind, and how much others donate is their own business. He donated, it is a good thing. This is not a reason to be criticized.

Besides, no matter what, others donated. How many of those who talk big donated money? If you have the guts, donate all your wealth!

There are even more, when others do good deeds, they say that they are doing it for fame and show.

This kind of people is the most annoying, what? Good deeds are not allowed to be publicized? Others donated real money, and it became a mistake to get a few good words?

In short, Alexandra's actions not only did not reduce her popularity, but it actually went up a level. She had less work, but her income was increasing.

Just as Kai was talking to Alexandra, Tony Stark, the arrogant king, finally arrived.
