After taking care of Death Walker and Bullseye, Kai suddenly felt free. It's not that there's really nothing going on. To be honest, he still has a lot on his hands. For example, for the security of the joint exhibition between the Louvre and the Art Museum of Chicago, he needs to communicate with the security of the museum and the Louvre. There is also an expo. The security level of this expo is very high. It is not solely provided by the Chicago police. The state government will also arrange some security. And because the president will be here, the Department of Homeland Security, FBI and Secret Service (although the Secret Service will (Part of the Department of Homeland Security, but more independent and most of the time viewed as an independent agency) will also participate.
But in Chicago, Deputy Director Cooper will personally lead the team and serve as the commander-in-chief. Although the commander-in-chief could not command anyone other than the Chicago police, he was considered to be in a high position and had high authority, and Kai was also pulled into the rapid response team by him to deal with emergencies.
Kai complained about this in front of Cooper more than once. He, a criminal detective, actually went to maintain law and order...he was not professional enough. To be honest, whether he was a soldier or a policeman, Kai had never been responsible for the on-site security of such a large-scale event. His specialty was solving crimes or catching thieves. Of course, he was better at killing people and maintaining order. It was really embarrassing. he.
But Cooper talked about him with a smile every time and wouldn't let him go anyway. He naturally knows that Kai does things neatly. In just less than three years of his police career, this guy has killed more than seventy people... This number is too exaggerated. Fortunately, he has sufficient reasons for killing criminals, otherwise The top brass of the police department are planning to hire some psychiatrists to evaluate Kai's mental state. It would be hilarious if a murderer entered the police department.
It is precisely because of this that Cooper needs Kai as the last line of defense to prevent some uncontrollable situations.
There is no way, whether it is the President of the United States or the world's number one playboy, both have mixed reviews internationally. There are as many people who love them as they hate them. I won't talk about the president. People who want to burp the President of the United States really not too much. And what about Tony? It's not much better. Until now, many people still believe that the arms giants are behind America's foreign wars. Tony's Stark Group happens to be such an arms giant. In addition, Tony is the king of stinkers and likes to post various posts all day long, which attracts even more hatred. To others, Lockheed Martin's scale is no worse than that of Stark, but it is not as high-profile as Stark, so its market value is a bit lower.
In short, there are no fewer people staring at Tony than the president. Just pretending to be struck by lightning.
But although these two things are troublesome to talk about, when it comes to Kai, that's all. At the art exhibition, he was just a nominal person. The patrol police would be responsible for the order outside the exhibition hall that day. Inside the exhibition hall, there were the Louvre and the museum's own security, but there was nothing specific about it.
So when Kai says Xian now, he really means Xian!
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to attend this inexplicable cocktail party.
Tony Stark is a little party prince. He claims to spend 360 of the 365 days at various dance parties. Of course, this is an exaggeration. If this is true, even if Tony... No matter how rich Stark is, he will die young. Unless he can get himself a new kidney.
But this guy does like to party. Although the cocktail parties look more formal, they are not bad for Tony Stark. They are all about drinking and picking up girls, but one is more wild and the other is more sanctimonious.
Moreover, any party that Tony Stark participates in is quite high-end.
Although Chicago is no longer the Chicago it was back then, and can no longer be compared with New York and Los Angeles, it is still the economic and cultural center of the north-central United States. Although it is impossible to gather a large number of celebrities and superstars to support the party like Tony held in Los Angeles, it can still attract a large number of people with sufficient status and qualifications to participate in the party.
Although Chicago is far away from the center of the world, it still has an old money attitude. (Old money is not old money, but represents the traditional aristocracy, or the traditional wealthy class.) They look down on the impetuousness of those emerging cities, but also envy their prosperity and colorfulness. You know, in the past, local celebrities in Chicago rarely had the opportunity to attend high-end cocktail parties hosted by Stark.
In short, their senses are very strange. They often show disdain and look down on those emerging classes, but in their hearts they are just as envious, jealous, and hateful. They crave recognition and long to revitalize their past glory.
So after the news of Stark's cocktail party spread, a large number of local celebrities in Chicago tried their best to get an invitation.
When Kai drove his Cobra 427 to Daxia, the parking lot was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars.
Because it is a private reception, it is not like in Los Angeles where there is a red carpet appearance before the reception starts. Old money doesn't like this.
Old money's attitude is to be low-key.
But keep a low profile, but don’t lose your style!
Starting from the parking lot, every design reveals the flavor of the privileged class.
The building's parking lot has three floors, of which the bottom floor is directly divided and designated as a designated parking space. To enter there, you must show an invitation letter. There is a special chip in the invitation letter, and the details of the invitee are recorded in the chip. 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 three-piece blue solid-color flat-lapel custom-made suit. He has a very British style. He combs his hair like an adult. He still thinks about it, 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.
Ding.
The elevator arrived soon. 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 unusually generous. She held her head high and walked towards Cooper with Kai in a very natural manner. 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 himself 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 has always stayed away from such hypocritical things. He knew that he could not play this kind of 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 mature women who looked quite old came over to strike up a conversation. These women also thought that 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 company, 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 all 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.
"Alessandra? Why are you here?" The person who came was none other than the female model Kai saved in the Seven Deadly Sins Serial Murder Case. She looks more beautiful than before. It's not that she suddenly became beautiful or had surgery, but it's a change in temperament. She is more relieved and free and easy than before, which makes people feel comfortable just looking at her.
"Pfft!" Alexandra couldn't help laughing immediately when she saw Kai's embarrassed expression. "You're a policeman, and you're pretending to be a publicist?"
Kai blushed, then quickly returned to normal and shrugged. "Should I explain to them one by one who I am and what I do? Anyway, since they think I am a male publicist, fortunately I will satisfy them. Anyway, I am idle."
Although it was a prank, Kai still felt a little embarrassed when he was seen by an acquaintance, so he quickly changed the subject.
"What about you? How are you doing?"
When Alexandra heard that Kai was concerned about her current situation, she immediately showed a beautiful smile. It was really a smile that made people happy. She was indeed very happy, and Kai before would not have cared about this at all.
"Not bad. I gave up a lot of work and started doing some charity activities. Suddenly I felt that this was not bad. I could help others and live a fulfilling life. It was not like before, where every day was about work and my mind was full of thoughts. I want to climb up, otherwise I am worried about popularity, body shape, skin, and I can’t hold anything else in my mind..."
As she spoke, Alexandra showed a hint of regret and a hint of relief. But soon she laughed excitedly.
"After experiencing those things, I also reflected a lot. Perhaps because I am atonement, I rarely have nightmares now."
Kai really didn't know that Alexandra had nightmares because of what happened before. After all, he never cared. But her transformation still made Kai have a great impression of her. I don't know why, people will always be more kind to those who have found their way back.
Maybe this proves that people can be saved?
The two of them started chatting like this. From the chat, they learned that although Alexandra turned down a lot of jobs, 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 values charity and public welfare. Although many charities and public welfare are used as a means of tax avoidance, the United States does not have the same moral obsession as the Chinese. Others do good deeds, regardless of whether they are for fame and fortune. They are all worthy of praise. It's not like those people in China who, when they see others donating money, they either say it's acidic, or they morally kidnap them and say why they don't donate more if they make so much money. Oh, the money others earn is not brought by the strong wind. How much they donate is their own business. If he donated, it was a good thing. This is not a reason to be blamed.
Besides, other people have donated money no matter what. How many of those who are talking about it have donated money? You might as well donate all your wealth!
What's more, when others do good deeds, they say they are just for fame and show off.
This kind of person is the most annoying, why? Are you not allowed to publicize good deeds? Someone donated real money and money, but got a few good words and it turned out to be a mistake?
In short, because of Alexandra's actions, not only did her popularity not drop, but it actually improved to a higher level. She worked less, but her income increased.
While Kai and Alexandra were talking, Tony Stark, the stinky king, finally arrived belatedly.
