In wealthy families, under normal circumstances, when the girl is still in school, birthday parties can occasionally not be so big, and they can just invite some friends and classmates to have fun together in private.
But as we grow older, many birthday parties gradually become a reason for socializing. This is the case for today's birthday party. As a very important figure in the invisible alliance of some Russian overseas wealthy people, Andrei used his daughter's party to invite many guests to connect with each other.
Therefore, most of the banquets were not about celebrating Angelina's birthday, but about chatting and getting to know each other about traffic control. Some of them were even able to negotiate some business on the spot.
Naturally, there will be many handsome men and beauties at such gatherings. Regardless of whether Yang Dongxu knew the Hollywood stars who looked familiar to him, he saw no less than twenty men and women. This did not include those who were not famous now and did not know who came in to find a way. .
With Troy and Natasha here, Yang Dongxu naturally couldn't sit down in a corner to eat and wait for the banquet to end like he did at other banquets.
Toy took him and introduced many Russian businessmen investing in the United States, as well as some local American businessmen. Natasha stayed by his side throughout the whole process, just like a very virtuous wife. Following the toasts and conversations, she pushed Yang Dongxu to the main seat and stood beside him with a loving smile.
This made Yang Dongxu feel several malicious glances for a while. At the same time, those girls who seemed to find out that his identity was not simple and wanted to come up and strike up a conversation, also because Natasha was not easy to come forward, saved him a lot of trouble. .
So at first, she looked sideways at Natasha from time to time, hoping that she would give her an explanation. But after the other party just responded with a smile, Yang Dongxu didn't bother to worry about anything anymore.
Although he has bought back a large amount of assets from Russia in the past few years, most of these assets are shares of companies that are operating normally. He only needs to supervise the audit of the accounts every year and pay his own dividends. There aren't many opportunities to go to Russia. As long as he doesn't go to Russia, no matter what tricks Natasha sets for him, he can deal with it calmly.
"The Gutseyev family is choosing a son-in-law." After a round of socializing, Yang Dongxu felt that his face was about to freeze with laughter, and Toy whispered while Natasha went to the bathroom.
"I don't seem to be a suitable candidate, right?" Yang Dongxu frowned.
"The person who wants to marry Natasha is not the current head of the Gutseyev family, but her brother Valery. Natasha's father is not in good health, and Natasha is the best among the children. Tasha and Valery.
Natasha has always insisted on not getting married, including marriage. This puts Valery under a lot of pressure. He has recently persuaded his father to find a marriage for Natasha that is difficult to avoid, so..."
"It's a wedding that even the Gutseyev family can't avoid. Is it useful to move me out?"
"Don't underestimate your influence. In the past few years, the cooperation between senior officials and your country has been quite good and a win-win situation has been achieved, and your practice of spending generous amounts of money has also attracted the attention of many people.
Plus your influence in your country, if Natasha does reveal that you are her boyfriend. Because the two parties haven't discussed the marriage yet, the other party will indeed weigh your presence. "
"If you didn't tell me, I didn't know I was so famous in Russia." Yang Dongxu smiled, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Toy, what are you talking about to Dongxu? You didn't say anything bad about me, did you?"
"How can I say bad things about you? I'm praising your beauty." Tuoyi smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand, then handed Yang Dongxu a wishing look to greet a friend next to him.
After Toy's party, he had to catch a flight to Washington and had no time to chat with Yang Dongxu in depth. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have said this in such a hurry.
"It's not as troublesome as you think. My father was just hospitalized suddenly some time ago. He also wanted to see family harmony, so he wanted to get me married.
I asked the doctor and my father's condition is now stable and slowly improving. After he recovers, this thought will not be so strong and will not cause you trouble. "Natasha obviously knew the relationship between Tuoyi and Yang Dongxu, so she spoke directly.
"It seems that you put a lot of pressure on your brother, making your father so difficult to make a decision." Yang Dongxu raised his glass and gestured to Natasha nonchalantly.
"The inherited family gives us a great innate advantage. If we are not too smart, as long as we are not stupid, we can live a life of food and clothing. However, those who are too conservative will be eliminated by the world sooner or later. I think the Gutsayev family should Go a step further instead of sticking to the rut.”
"It's best to go further under your leadership?" Yang Dongxu looked at Natasha meaningfully.
"Listen to whoever has the ability!" Natasha took a sip of the champagne in the glass, and a gleam in her eyes that Yang Dongxu had never seen flashed before.
This made Yang Dongxu feel a little speechless. He found that all the beauties he met seemed to be strong women. Zhou Ya is like this, my aunt is like this, not to mention Li Fuzhen.
Even Chen Xin, who was prepared to be mediocre before, is now working hard, and Chen Hong is becoming more and more like a strong woman.
"I'll go back to China tomorrow, it's up to you." Yang Dongxu shrugged and ended the topic.
A big family that can still stand at the top of the pyramid after the collapse of the former Soviet Union and the re-establishment of rules and purges under Russia's new regime is even more terrifying than a newly promoted wealthy family like Toi. You can't see clearly what a huge beast is hidden under the water.
So when faced with this matter, Yang Dongxu felt that it was better to deal with it coldly. Because of the friendship they have had for so many years of cooperation, he would not object to Natasha using him as a shield, but he would not admit anything personally, let alone get involved in their family disputes.
Don't think that people died only when princes fought for the throne in ancient times. Once there was a dispute in the inheritance of such a big family, the smell of blood would still make people sick.
"Father, that man Natasha brought today?" After sending all the guests away, Angelina finally took off her uncomfortable evening dress and put on loose pajamas and leaned next to her father, helping her father light a cigarette. cigar.
"One of the biggest helpers to Natasha's rapid rise in her family over the years is the people from the south. I don't know the specific identity. Old Ivan and Natasha did a very good job of keeping him secret."
In fact, some people in Russia are more curious about Yang Dongxu than Toi expressed. After all, the two countries are neighboring countries. We don’t know exactly what is going on in each other’s countries, but we at least know a thing or two.
Therefore, many people are naturally curious about a rich man like Yang Dongxu who suddenly appeared. Especially since the other party is from southern China, many people will be involved in political factors.
But over the years, the other party has obtained countless benefits from the north, but it has never been blacklisted due to political involvement. On the contrary, the business has grown bigger and bigger, and the relationship has become wider and wider. Even the current government has an ambiguous relationship with the other party, which has to make them even more curious.
"Is that the southerner who bought our assets?" Angelina's eyes suddenly lit up.
Although she is not a strong woman like Natasha, she has learned a little bit about the family industry as an adult. Especially in the past two years, the family industry has changed too frequently, and her father cannot find many trustworthy people. After the assets were handed over to her, she naturally became more aware of where the discarded assets of her family had gone.
"He must be right. Otherwise, I really can't figure out why Natasha would bring him to this banquet." Andre took a puff of his cigar and slowly leaned on the sofa.
"Brother Valery will probably have a headache when he hears this news." Angelina couldn't help laughing.
"If it weren't for the fact that he is a son, Natasha is a daughter. Old Gutseyev would have made a decision long ago, instead of dragging his seriously ill body like this and still having a headache about the inheritance of the family."
"How is Uncle Gutsayev's condition?"
"It's not very clear, and he can't let the outside world know it. The Gutseyev family!" Andrei swallowed, and for a while his face was a little blurry and his words seemed meaningful.
After coming out of the party, Natasha followed Yang Dongxu back to the hotel, sat in his room for a while, and then opened a room opposite him. During this time, neither of them talked about that topic. Instead, I explored the recent situation in Russia and cooperation in some industries.
Wow...
The shower room in the bathroom was spraying with running water. Yang Dongxu rubbed his left cheek. The sweet kiss Natasha gave her before she left almost made him unable to hold back and throw her down because he knew she would definitely not refuse.
But knocking her down and not knocking her down are obviously two different concepts. Even if Natasha just regards this time as a reward for using him as a shield, there will be no other relationship.
But after a man and a woman break through that level of relationship, they won't see each other unless it's a one-night stand, but it's impossible for him and Natasha to stop seeing each other in the future. And since they will meet again and there are many interests involved in both parties, then this fall can be said to have endless consequences.
Yang Dongxu knew that he couldn't do that. If there was any conflict of interest in the future, he would just forget about it and not get involved. And Natasha seemed to have taken a fancy to this, and she would not suffer any loss, so she boldly seduced her.
"Man, sometimes being a scumbag can ward off villains." Yang Dongxu finally suppressed the evil fire in his belly and walked out of the bathroom.
Wiping his palms and hair, he took out a few of the more unique business cards in his jacket and put them into his suitcase. As for the large number of pink and green business cards, small notes with phone numbers, and even hotel addresses and room numbers. Or something, just throw it into the trash can.
Yang Dongxu woke up the next morning and was still thinking about how to deal with Natasha's seduction again. When he came to the front desk, he realized that the other party had left the room early in the morning and settled his bill.
"Once women make a decision, they seem to be more decisive than men. They are not sloppy at all." Yang Dongxu shook his head and pulled his suitcase and called a car to the airport.
