Chapter 1048: Enjoy the Charity Banquet with Ease
As soon as he turned around, Wu Tao saw a strong man like an iron tower coming over him.
Liu Ruoxi, who was so frightened that she was holding her arm, couldn't help but tighten. Wu Tao patted Liu Ruoxi's delicate hand, and then smiled casually. The man who rushed towards him stretched out his hand and said: "Mr. Schwarzenegger, I am also very happy to see you. After all, I grew up watching your movies.”
Being able to meet this well-known figure who entered the political arena from Hollywood on this occasion, Wu Tao suddenly understood.
It turns out that this famous tough guy movie star has been active in politics since 2002.
Maybe the time is earlier than this.
"Just call me Arnold." As soon as Schwarzenegger's strong hand grasped it, it felt like a steel grip.
"Okay, Arnold, you may have forgotten how powerful your hands are." Wu Tao reminded him without concealing the pain in his hands.
Schwarzenegger smiled heartily, "Hua Xia Wu, I like your candid temperament. So from today on, you will be my friend."
Once she heard that it was a movie star she was familiar with, Liu Ruoxi's nervousness instantly relaxed.
Just because of her quiet temperament, she didn't rush up to her for autographs or photos like a star-chasing girl.
After all, she still remembers that she is the boss's female companion now, and no matter what, she cannot embarrass the boss.
In contrast, current Governor Gray's face does not look very good.
Especially when Schwarzenegger turned around and left, Gray couldn't help but asked: "Huaxia Wu, based on your industry in California, do you think California has made progress in recent years and is suitable for development?"
Wu Tao raised his eyebrows. With his fiery temper, he did not look like someone who was born to be in politics.
"Very good, Mr. Governor."
Gray had some pride on his face, but he didn't give up. He continued to ask: "So in the governor's election in the second half of the year, will Huaxia Wu support my re-election?"
Wu Tao smiled, "If I am lucky enough to have the right to vote, I will naturally support the governor's re-election."
According to the normal term and election process, Gray's first term will end later this year.
The governor must be under a lot of pressure as to whether he can be re-elected. Fortunately, when Wu Tao said this, he was not suspected of flattering him. In fact, in his memory, the governor did win re-election with a slight advantage.
Everyone likes to hear good things.
This is even more true for this shallow-minded governor. After hearing Wu Tao's answer, he almost started dancing on the spot.
No wonder Hollywood later asked him to star in comedy roles.
It turns out that people already have talent.
After bidding farewell to Gray and his group, Tang Wannian and Wu Yingying went off to socialize separately.
Wu Tao got a free moment, took two glasses of champagne from the waiter, and handed one to Liu Ruoxi.
Liu Ruoxi moistened her throat, kept a smile on her pretty face, and the stiff muscles were released for a moment: "Boss, you are so charming, even Mr. Schwarzenegger is willing to be your friend."
Wu Tao took a sip of champagne and almost spit it out accidentally, "My Secretary Liu, do you really think that Schwarzenegger is willing to be my friend without any conditions?"
"Huh?" Liu Ruoxi held half a mouthful of champagne in her mouth before she could swallow it.
Wu Tao did not explain directly, but asked heuristically: "Didn't you notice all the people who came to this occasion today?"
After being reminded like this, Liu Ruoxi said with some understanding: "Earlier, you said that today's charity dinner was attended by political and business figures. Mr. Schwarzenegger appeared here. I thought that there were also celebrities attending this dinner. .”
Wu Tao shook his head, "The rules of the upper class in the United States cannot be so vague. Circles are different from circle to circle, and class is opposed to class."
Liu Ruoxi was taken aback, "Boss, are you saying that Mr. Schwarzenegger is interested in entering politics?"
"clever!"
Just after chatting with Liu Ruoxi for a while, a white man with blond hair and blue eyes walked towards him.
He was young, but he had a wild smile on his face, which made people look a bit unserious.
"China Wu, I have never had the opportunity to thank you for leaving the opportunity to join AMD to our Chicago consortium. If you need cooperation in the future, you can come directly to me, Woody, and our Chicago consortium!"
Only then did Wu Tao realize that this guy was Woody Crown, the guy who cut off his beard.
Looking at this situation, they feel very good about themselves after investing in AMD.
In this case, Wu Tao simply did not expose it, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Krone, the fact that the Chicago consortium can take over AMD is actually a win-win situation for both of you. At best, I am just a person who discovered the gold of AMD. .”
Woody's ungrateful smile suddenly stopped. When Wu Tao said this, he not only confirmed his favor for investing in AMD, but also reminded him overtly and covertly that investment vision was more important than the strength of the consortium.
He responded with a few words of submissiveness, but failed to please Woody and quickly found an excuse to leave.
Seeing Liu Ruoxi beaming with joy, she said, "Boss, you are really invincible with that mouth."
Wu Tao drank the champagne in his glass and said, "Where are you from?"
At this moment, a fierce quarrel came from the right.
The two of them looked up and saw that it was Molly who was confronting Howard with an unhappy look on her face. It looked like they were having an extremely unpleasant conversation.
So much so that Ivankara couldn’t hold him back.
Wu Tao was also surprised. If Molly is so smart, she is not such an irrepressible person.
When I walked over, I heard Ivanka whisper: "Howard was laughing at Molly for being abandoned by you, and he actually made Molly angry with a few words."
Wu Tao let go of Liu Ruoxi's arm, generously put his arms around Molly's shoulders and said, "Let me tell you, Howard. In this close relationship between Molly and I, she dumped me. Frankly speaking. Said, I still think about her wonderful taste."
Heartbroken. When Howard heard this, the pretty boy's face immediately turned red, but he was speechless.
However, Wu Tao's words were not finished yet, "Besides, even if Molly was dumped by me as you said, have you ever thought about what the fact that she would rather be dumped by me than choose you means? "
Howard felt like ten thousand mud horses were galloping past, but he couldn't even utter a word.
However, after hearing these words of standing up for her, Molly felt happy, hugged Wu Tao, kissed her and said, "Dear Wu, if you think of my wonderful taste again in the future, you can come to me."
Seeing this affectionate look, Howard turned around and left, completely ignoring that he had become the laughing stock of the people around him.
Everyone dispersed, and Liu Ruoxi took Wu Tao's arm again, feeling a little lost as if they were separated.
Wu Tao noticed the strange touch coming from his elbow. Although he enjoyed it, he had to take care of it.
"What's wrong with you? You don't believe what I just said on the spur of the moment to piss off Howard, do you?"
Liu Ruoxi suddenly turned red to the root of her neck.
At this moment, Gray's loud voice came from the banquet podium: "Now, I would like to ask one of the banquet organizers, Hua Xia Wu, the boss of Tianqi Investment, to give us a speech on the economic situation!"
"Oh my god, I didn't prepare a speech for you, what should I do?"
This girl, the topic changed quite quickly.
Wu Tao stopped asking and said confidently: "Just now you praised me for being invincible with my mouth. How can you defeat me with just a speech?"
