Turning around, Li Zixuan saw Miss Eddie, who was wearing an aqua blue dress and a beautiful sapphire necklace.
Li ZiXuan saw that she kept waving at him. Originally, he wanted to say something to Theodore Roth, but he could only say apologetically
,"I'm sorry, Mr. Roth!"”
"It's okay, the dinner hasn't started yet, you can accompany Miss Eddie. It's not gentlemanly to make a lady wait for a long time!”
Theodore Rosford, who was only in his twenties, joked.
Beside him, James Rosford also smiled.
Therefore, Li Zixuan could only helplessly say,""Excuse me!"
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the direction of the Mary.
Marion was delighted to see him.
"
He's Bruce Lee, the hero who saved my mother and me on the train last time. He's also the one who invented the smokeless gunpowder!" she boasted to the beautiful girls around her.”
Upon hearing this, the group of lolis 'eyes lit up. When they saw Li Zixuan walking over, they introduced themselves.
"Hello, Mr. Bruce. My name is Sonia Curtis. My father is a Senator of the Elephant Party!”
"Hello, I'm Polly Sax, my father is a banker!”
.....
The group of little lolis scrambled to introduce themselves. When they heard their father's occupation, they all seemed to have a powerful background.
"Alright, alright!" Marion felt as if she was listening to a group of ducks squawking, and she immediately stopped the lolis from talking.
"
I'm sorry, these guys are Elizabeth and my friends!" she said to Li Zixuan.”
Hearing this, Li Zixuan smiled at the lolis and bowed slightly.
"Hello, I'm Bruce Lee. Nice to meet you, beautiful ladies!"”
"How gentlemanly!"
The group of little lolis were all excited, and their hearts were beating wildly.
They were both at the age of fantasy.
After listening to Marion's exaggerated story of a hero saving a damsel in distress like a medieval knight, everyone was extremely envious of Marion.
She wished she could replace Marion as the female lead.
Thus, the little lolis pinched their skirts and performed a standard ladylike bow.
Marion was a little unhappy.
"These guys used to be absent-minded when they bowed, but now they're more standard than anyone else!”
Fortunately, Marion wasn't at the age to fight, or else she would call these people b * tches.
"Marion," Li Zixuan asked curiously,
"Did Mr. Eden bring you to the banquet?"”
"No, my mother brought me here. My father caused a great loss to Mr. Rockefeller's oil because he invented the electric light.”
Marion explained.
In fact, Rockefeller was very optimistic about Thomas, and he had invested some money in him.
However, on a certain day in 1878, under the starlight, a certain Thomas edict had a sudden idea. He wanted to turn electricity into light to illuminate the night.
Let the Rockefeller, who relied on kerosene to make a fortune, drink northwest wind.
Therefore, after experiencing a series of failures and difficulties, Thomas allowed electricity to pass through a bulb that had been emptied of air.
Suddenly, the bright light shook New York.
At that time, Ta Kung Pao was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. It reported,"Eden's brain was wide open. He used electricity to emit light, generate heat, and generate power!”
Naturally, Ai Disheng was happy.
But at the same time, in stark contrast, the kerosene company's stock fell by 30% in a few days.
In the era before the invention of internal combustion engines, the biggest use of oil was as a light source.
At that time, Rockefeller's company was greatly affected. From then on, the oil king swore that
he would never invest in any project of Einstein, not even a penny.
There was no other way. The research of electric lamps required money, so Eden openly invested in another legendary big shot, J.P. Morgan.
At this point, the relationship between the oil king and the invention king was completely severed.
Naturally, Li Zixuan was not qualified to ridicule the two of them.
Then, he started chatting with this group of lolis. For a moment, it was very lively.
Many adults looked askance at him.
At this moment, music started playing.
The dinner started!
Marion said as she pulled Li Zixuan's hand and walked towards the center of the main hall.
Under the passionate music, all the guests gathered neatly at the bottom of the stairs.
A moment later, a little fairy or elf-like loli slowly came down the stairs.
She was wearing a pure white dress and her black hair was curled up on her head.
There was a ruby brooch on his chest.
She was hugging a middle-aged man with a high nose bridge and a wide forehead with her left hand.
In his right hand was a woman dressed in plain clothes.
Behind Elizabeth were three older girls and a little boy in overalls
. The guests immediately applauded.
Li Zixuan looked at the Rockefeller family standing on the stairs, especially Rockefeller himself. Just by standing there,
he gave off the pressure of a business tycoon.
Rockefeller seemed to have noticed Li Zixuan's gaze. He looked at Li Zixuan and smiled.
It was as if he was saying,
"Boy, we finally meet. A month ago, my daughter was kidnapped by you to a place like Chicago for a few days. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?”
However, Li Zixuan did not dodge Rockefeller's gaze. Although it was a little awkward,
he felt that avoiding other people's gazes meant admitting defeat, and he never admitted defeat.
As a result, their gazes met in the air.
After a while, the applause stopped.
Rockefeller looked away, but those who knew him could tell that he was in a good mood.
Then, he said loudly to all the guests,
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my daughter Elizabeth's 10th birthday banquet. I will donate five million US dollars to the New York government for education.
I hope that everyone, not only white, but also Chinese, or black, can receive a good education. Only then can the Eagle Country be greater in the new century.”
"Pa, pa, pa, pa!" The distinguished guests applauded enthusiastically.
Rockefeller then took a goblet of red wine from the waiter's tray.
"God bless the Eaglejam Nation!"
Hearing this, all the adults present took the wine glasses that the waiters brought over and raised them together.
"God bless the Eagle Country!"
After drinking the glass, Rockefeller raised the empty glass and said,
"Let's begin the banquet!”
Next, it was the segment where the guests gave gifts.
Rockefeller and his family left the stairs.
