Chapter 912 The New Financial Star Comes to the Fore
After Christmas, New Year's Day of the Millennium is approaching.
At this time, Wu Tao boarded a plane to Los Angeles.
Since Tianqi Investment entered the 100-billion-dollar club, people have been overwhelmed by all kinds of charity dinners and celebrity gatherings.
For an ordinary invitation, it would be enough for Wu Tao to directly arrange for Wu Yingying to go.
Only this time, he had to attend the annual meeting of the upper-class financial circles in person. Because according to Molly, at such an annual meeting, there will not only be spokespersons from major financial groups, but also representatives from important institutions and organizations, as well as representatives from the political circles.
When Wu Tao thought about it, Tianqi Investment's next development plan would inevitably involve dealing with these world-class consortiums and institutions. There's nothing wrong with taking this opportunity to get acquainted first.
It's just such a short-term trip. Because of the tight schedule, it's always a rush, and it's really not interesting.
As soon as Wu Tao arrived at the Irvine Villa, Molly came over from next door and looked at Wu Tao with burning eyes, but said nothing.
"Hi, Molly!" Wu Tao took the initiative to say hello, breaking the deadlock.
After all, the communication between the two of them has always been relaxed and pleasant, and they just talk about whatever they have to say. He was not used to the other party suddenly looking at him so lovingly.
"Hi~" Molly opened her arms and slowly moved closer. Just when Wu Tao felt that there was some trouble, she made a kiss and then separated again.
Wu Tao felt relieved, "You and Panis made a lot of money from shorting the Nasdaq index this time, right?"
When asked this question, Molly's pretty face showed a trace of unnaturalness for the first time. In the past, Wu Tao mostly earned a fraction of her money. Now the tide has turned and the situation is completely reversed.
"You must be kidding, right?" Molly hugged her chest and said with her plump breasts particularly eye-catching: "This time, Panis and I together can't make as much as your Tianqi Investment family."
Wu Tao spread his hands, relaxed and sat on the sofa and said: "That's really a pity, but this is what I earned back by taking a big risk, isn't it?"
After a few hours of repairs in the Irvine Villa, it was time for the annual meeting in the evening.
This annual meeting was of great significance to him and Yuanqi Technology, so Wu Tao originally planned to cover it up.
But when he thought of Molly's burning eyes, he decisively stopped this idea. Now those eyes are so passionate that they can melt into ice. It would be bad if something happens to her in the process of making up for a while.
So facing the pile of clothes in the cloakroom, Wu Tao simply put together a random outfit, dressed casually, and then went downstairs.
Molly had already put on a sexy white evening dress, looking like a pretty mermaid, standing at the top of the stairs.
"So, how about it?" Wu Tao stood at the halfway point of the stairs, facing Molly, and asked openly.
Molly clapped her delicate hands and said, "Great!"
Wu Tao was a little surprised, and then he understood. It seems that the identity is different, and the feeling of one's own image is also different.
After walking downstairs in a few steps, Molly asked earnestly: "So, can I be your female companion?"
Wu Tao hesitated, but still refused, "Unfortunately, my female companion quota needs to be reserved for Yingying. What's more, as the spokesperson of the Quantum Fund, it is not appropriate for you to be my female companion, right?"
Molly was obviously prepared, "I left my invitation letter to Yingying. As for the Quantum Fund, my grandfather will go there in person. Of course, I don't need to support the appearance."
In this case, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
As the motorcade left the Irvine Villa and went down the mountain, light snow unexpectedly fell from the sky.
The snowflakes are not big, and they fill the space between heaven and earth with a lot of freehand brushwork. The speed of the vehicle also slowed down, and we continued to move forward steadily while ensuring safety.
At the same time, Wu Yingying called and informed her that she had arrived at the annual meeting first.
I put away the phone and turned around, only to see Molly lying by the car window, looking at the snowy scene outside with a look of longing.
It seems that Dayangma also has a poetic side, but he just doesn't have the right opportunity to express it.
The annual meeting was still held at the Hilton Hotel, but this time it was at the San Pedro store on the west coast.
As soon as the car stopped at the door of the hotel, the handsome doorman came to open the door politely. Wu Tao got out of the car, turned around and extended his right hand to Molly. This was a basic understanding.
Unfortunately, Molly wasn't wearing much, so she couldn't help but shiver as soon as she came into contact with the cold air outside.
It seemed that good things could only come to an end. He took off his suit jacket and put it on Molly's soft and white shoulders.
"Thank you." Molly fluttered her long eyelashes and naturally put her arm around Wu Tao's.
The two of them walked into the hotel lobby, and the coldness dissipated a lot. Even so, Molly had no intention of returning the coat to Wu Tao. Instead, she kept wearing it until she passed through the VIP elevator and arrived at the annual meeting.
Many guests had already arrived at the venue, including gentlemen and sexy women. They gathered in groups holding champagne and chatting happily.
Not long after the two appeared, Panis came over alone, "Molly, you lied to me, you clearly said that Yingying is Wu's female companion!"
Panis is wearing a slim-fitting fishtail skirt today, which outlines her figure like a beautiful snake.
Molly looked proud.
Wu Tao noticed that Wu Yingying was talking to someone else and couldn't get away for a while. It can be seen that she is quite adaptable to this kind of situation. On the contrary, because I don't know many people, I can't show it at all.
When Wu Tao was bored, Howard, who looked like a human in a suit and leather shoes, and Figo, whose eyes were narrowed to a slit, came over together.
"Wu, is this your first time on such a high-class occasion?" Figo spoke in a condescending manner.
Wu Tao nodded and admitted generously: "That's right!"
When Molly and Panis heard Wu Tao's answer, they immediately felt a sense of suffocation.
Unexpectedly, Wu Tao's tone changed at the next moment: "I didn't expect that not only a financial rookie like me could enter such an annual meeting, but also young men like you two who rely solely on family background could come."
"...To be honest, I'm very disappointed." Wu Tao said, shrugging his shoulders, looking really helpless.
When Molly and Panis heard this, they suddenly felt happy. With a few calm words, Figo, who felt good about himself, was able to pout, and the pout was flawless.
Howard immediately became furious, "Wu, you..."
However, before he could say anything, an excited voice next to him suddenly interrupted: "Hi, Wu, nice to meet you!"
"Jason?" Wu Tao didn't hide his surprise when he saw the always cynical Jason in such a formal occasion.
Jason came over and ignored Figo and Howard's greetings. He just took a picture of an old man with Mediterranean hair next to him and said, "Hi, Wu, let me introduce you!"
As a result, Wu Tao and the old man said in unison: "No, Jason, we know each other."
"Nice to meet you, Wu Tao."
"Me too, Henry." Wu Tao and Henry Paulson had just met at the first meeting of the Tsinghua SEM Advisory Committee, but they didn't expect to meet again here...
