America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 69 The Intertwined American Upper Class Society

  Woolworth Building, thirty-third floor.

  Smith Capital,

   Accompanied by two bodyguards, Abel came to the company.

   At the front desk of the company, he unexpectedly met an "acquaintance"

   "Are you Miss Catherine?"

   "Yes, it is me. Hello, Mr. Smith. Nice to see you again."

"Oh, me too."

  It turned out to be last time,

  Abel took the private flight provided by American Express,

   Back to Texas, and back to New York from Texas.

  On the plane, the face I met was a combination of Scarlett Johansson and Amber Heard.

  A stewardess with excellent body and good temperament.

   At that time, because she was indeed very beautiful.

  Someone greedy her body.

  Leaving her a business card, saying that she is welcome to apply for a job here in New York.

  After I came back, I was busy for several days.

   This Miss Catherine Jones has been absent.

   Gradually, Abel forgot about this matter.

   Didn't expect today, but saw her here at the company.

   After a few words with Catherine, Abel looked at the front desk.

  There are two people at the front desk, and they both look good.

  One of the foremen quickly responded to the boss:

   "BOSS. This lady is holding your business card and saying she's coming to see you.

   But you are not in the company, Mr. Mellon is also entertaining guests.

  Mr. Merriot is out on errands.

  I'll let her wait here. "

  Abel nodded and looked at Catherine, who had a somewhat embarrassed expression.

  He said: "I will ask the director of the company's HR department to interview you later.

  Miss Catherine, please wait here for a while. "

   "Okay." Catherine quickly agreed.

   Abel nodded to her again, and then walked into the company.

  He went directly to David Mellon's office.

   Sure enough, David and Abel's chief personal lawyer, Caroline, were talking in the office.

   Seeing Abel push the door in, Caroline and David both stood up.

   "How about Ovitz's yacht?

   It seems to be more than two hundred feet? fxxk, a hundred feet longer than my Mellon. said David with a smile.

  Abel shrugged, "There's no need to be envious. By the end of the year, you'll have the money to buy a bigger and better one than his.

   When the time comes, Ovitz will envy you. "

  Hearing what he said, the smile on David's face grew wider.

  Abel greets his chief legal counsel.

   "Good afternoon, ma'am."

   "Good afternoon, Mr. Smith." Lawyer Caroline, who has always been strict in her appearance and demeanor, nodded in response.

  The three of them found their own seats and sat down.

  Abel sat opposite Caroline, and David spoke:

   "How about a cup of coffee? Geisha? Columbia?"

   "Colombia," Abe said.

   "Ms. Caroline, you must be Blue Mountain."

  Caroline nodded.

   David started to make coffee in the office, and Caroline spoke when he was busy.

   "Mr. Smith. You should have heard from David yesterday that someone is investigating Smith Capital."

  Abel nodded, "It's the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, right?"

  Ms. Caroline didn't look surprised when she heard him say the answer.

  She continued to say calmly: "That's right, it's Robert Morgenthau's office."

   Sure enough, even if Bloomberg doesn’t disclose it, he still has a way to obtain this information.

  This thought flashed through Abel's mind, and he looked at Caroline seriously, "So, what advice would you give me? Dear Ms. Caroline."

   "Mr. Smith." Caroline said, "You hired me because I can guarantee that you will not overturn easily when you are running at high speed on Wall Street."

   "I will let you believe, what is value for money."

   She said: "So my advice is, whenever.

   No matter who investigates you, you cannot be weak.

  At least you can’t show weakness, even if you pretend, you have to be tough, do you understand? "

   "I've never been weak." Abel said calmly.

  Caroline looked at him, smiled and said, "That's right, that's what it is. Even if it's a fake, it must have this effect."

  Abel looked at her, paused for a word, and said softly:

   "I, absolutely, no, will, weak!"

  Caroline paused in silence, then nodded: "Yes, there is nothing wrong. That's it. You did a good job, sir."

   "Let's get on with it."

"Please say."

   "I used some channels. I found the reason why Robert investigated you." Caroline said.

   "According to what he said, it was because of some favors.

  Plus his financial crime investigation team happened to be studying you.

   So I started investigating you. "

   "According to what he said?" Abel raised his eyebrows.

   "That's right. Robert Morgenthau told me." Caroline said.

  She looked at Abel: "Twenty-eight years ago, when he was a lawyer. I used to be his assistant lawyer."

   "Understood." Abel said.

   Another damn, tangled upper-class social ties.

   Fortunately, this time, this social bond benefits me.

  Then I'll forgive it.

  At this time, Caroline said again: "As for Robert, who is begging for favors, he didn't explain to me."

  This Abel also understood.

   It's nothing more than some Robert Morgenthau's friends, connections and the like.

   It's not convenient to say to Caroline.

   "And now? Are they still investigating me?

   When to initiate a search warrant and when to come to my business to find evidence? ' asked Abel.

   "Cyrus of the Financial Crime Investigation Team did apply for an investigation order to Robert."

   Caroline said, "but was rejected by Robert."

  Abel frowned, "Investigate me and refuse to issue a search warrant for me?"

   "Yes. As for why, Robert didn't say.

   But with your conduct, Mr. Smith, obviously there will be no problem in the short term. "

  At this moment, David Mellon made the coffee.

  Using a plate, he came over with three cups of coffee.

   After Abel and Caroline took coffee and said thank you respectively.

  David raised the plate in his hand.

   "You two, guess how much this tray costs?" David said with a smile.

   "Maybe five dollars. Maybe ten dollars," Abel said casually.

  Caroline said, "A thousand dollars.

   This is something in the distribution list that must be purchased together when purchasing some limited edition products of Hermès.

  Equally boring as this plate is a $600 fly swatter. "

   "Eh~" David smiled, "Madam, it seems that you have already bought it."

  Caroline didn't speak, but gracefully picked up the coffee and took a sip.

  Abel shook his head, ignoring David who changed the subject.

  He often uses these luxuries now.

   But those who bought these luxury goods were his two girlfriends.

  They bought their own and bought Abel in bulk.

  So what kind of distribution items are worth a thousand or hundreds of dollars or something like rubbish.

  He really didn't know.

  He asked: "Now, ma'am, what is your advice to me?"

   "Keep calm and never be weak." She said: "Keep doing what you have to do."

  After listening, Abel was silent for a while.

   Then he nodded: "Understood."
