Chapter 177 Charity Project
Adjacent to Central Park, the lavo bar on East 58th Street is well-known in Manhattan. The reason why it is praised by New Yorkers is not the atmosphere, facilities, and DJ of the nightclub, but its food. It may sound contradictory. A nightclub relies on food Famous, is it still a pure nightclub?
The answer is yes, Lavo is divided into two floors with different styles. The upper floor of the bar is an Italian restaurant, where you can taste cheese chicken, Italian cheese dumplings and many other classic Italian dishes. This restaurant is especially suitable for bringing The family came to dine together, the old-school classic Italian Mediterranean decoration style, many tourists and guests come here because they love the retro style.
However, if you go downstairs along the stairs, you will find that you have "mistakenly entered" a top club. For young people, the trendy nightclub also attracts a lot of attention, with luxurious interiors and ballrooms. Cool and dynamic, offering a variety of drinks, as well as food upstairs!
Yang Cheng went straight to Lavo after coming out of Amanda's house. Paris Hilton, who had been looking for a long time yesterday, was having a carnival with friends here.
Behind the dance floor, facing the direction of the DJ booth, is lavo's few VIP booths. It is said that if you want to reserve a lavo booth, you need to make an appointment at least one week in advance.
In the middle booth, Yang Cheng and Paris Hilton are stuck together like conjoined twins. Don’t think about it, it’s too noisy. The explosive music seems to blow people’s eardrums, so they don’t stick to their ears. You can't even hear what the other person is saying.
"Jason, drink." Paris's drinking capacity is not a joke. When Yang Cheng arrived, the champagne bottles of Moet, Dom Pérignon, and Ace of Spades on the table were already empty, and now I don't know what round it is Yes, a group of people played a game, and those who lost had to drink vodka.
Of course, it is not an ordinary product on the market. Earl of Porter Century Vodka, a high-end rye vodka from Poland, carefully selects the best quality wheat for wine brewing. It is a high-quality spirit brewed by hand. It was also touching. Yang Cheng had just sat down and was drinking three consecutive cups while waiting to catch his breath.
Feeling the burning sensation in his chest and appetite, Yang Cheng waved his hands again and again, ate a few pieces of potato wedges to suppress the sour nausea, and yelled in Paris's ear, "Paris, I have something to do with you, change to a quiet place. place to chat?"
"No, I haven't played enough yet." Paris's eyes were blurred, and his cheek rubbed against Yang Cheng's ear.
"Hey, be obedient. I'll ask you something. I won't waste too much of your time. I'll come back later and continue playing." Yang Cheng endured the discomfort and followed Paris's temper. After saying hello, the two of them staggered up the stairs to the second floor. The noisy voice disappeared instantly, and their ears became quiet all of a sudden.
He exhaled heavily, asked Hansen to find a quiet corner, and asked the waiter to order a few casual food for supper. He took off his coat and put it on Paris's shoulders, not because he was afraid of her being cold, but because of her body. The nightclub dress is too gaudy and revealing, not suitable for the warm and romantic atmosphere of the restaurant.
The obsequiousness of a woman when she is drunk is the most alluring, especially Paris, a vixen who is born to seduce men. At this time, every frown and smile can cause a crime. It is a pity that Yang Cheng knows her very well. The history of debauchery tells him that if If you still want to live a happy life in the second half of your life, it is best not to have a physical relationship with this woman.
So Yang Cheng restrained her little brother who was prone to crime and impulsiveness very well, took the hot milk from the waiter and handed it to Paris, "Drink some milk for a rest, and go back to drink later."
"Hehe~ Thank you, my gentleman boy." Paris licked his lips subconsciously, took the cup and said with a charming smile.
"It's my honor, Paris, do you know William IV?" Yang Cheng asked after seeing her take a sip of milk and her pupils started to focus normally. relevant people to hear.
"William IV?" Paris tightened Yang Cheng's coat,
He frowned and muttered.
Yang Cheng didn't urge her either. After a while, Paris put the cup down and looked at Yang Cheng, "I remembered, it's Amanda's cousin, right?"
Yang Cheng, who secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, nodded with a chuckle, "That's right, are you familiar with him?"
Paris was quite cute after drinking, pouted and shook his head full of cuteness, "I'm sure I'm not as familiar with you as I am, but I've known him since I was a child. He rarely comes to New York and usually lives in LA. Speaking of which, there are 7 , I haven't seen him in 8 years, why did you suddenly ask him? That's why you came to me specifically?"
It's easy to chatter when you drink too much, Yang Cheng funnyly pushed the snacks on the table over, motioned her to have some, and replied casually, "He came to provoke me on his own initiative, and I can't be here if I don't do something. Manhattan is messed up, you have to help me Paris, tell me all the information you know about him, okay?"
Hearing this, Paris woke up more than half of the wine in an instant, stared at Yang Cheng with wide eyes, and asked in surprise, "Did you fall out with Amanda? Or did you get her pregnant and refused to admit it, which attracted the attention of the Hearst family?" revenge?"
Yang Cheng looked at Paris dumbfounded, what's all this? The brain hole is too big, and he told the story helplessly, only to see Parispi sneered with a smile, "Then I am not surprised, William's ambition is inversely proportional to his IQ."
For this evaluation, Yang Cheng deeply agrees, but the wolf's ambition has a pig's head.
"To be honest, without this incident, I would never have known that Amanda and the others had such a cousin, and it was the first time I knew that Amanda was not the first heir." Yang Cheng spread her hands on the table , Said helplessly.
When Paris saw the waiter come last time, he closed his mouth for the time being. After watching the waiter leave, he probably was hungry. He picked up the silver spoon unceremoniously, glanced at several delicacies one by one, and finally chose a plate The beautiful pink-purple dish was brought to the front of him and he ate it in small bites.
She took risotti, which is Italian risotto. It is different from risotto in other regions. It is filled with mellow cheese, fish, mushrooms and Barolo wine from Italy. Just looking at the color makes people feel excited and perfect. It perfectly interprets the superficial meaning of delicious food.
Yang Cheng is a standard carnivore. Even though it is late at night and he just drank a few glasses of spirits, he still cannot stop his motivation to eat meat. The small portion of Florence's T-bone steak is enough He has been eating it for a long time. The soft and tasty beef immediately dissipates the stimulation of the spirits, and the surface is sprinkled with special spices, which can leave an aftertaste in his mouth for a long time.
The two of them quieted down at the same time, enjoying the pleasure brought by the food. Paris put down the spoon after taking a few mouthfuls, wiped the corners of his mouth with an elegant napkin, and then said, "Jason, I don't have much information to offer, I can only To remind you, although William's IQ is not enough, he does things fiercely and does whatever he wants, because he can't do anything with his brain, and he can easily confuse his opponents and create a style of surprise."
Yang Cheng also put down the fork, and frowned, "You didn't know what you said just now, but what you said doesn't sound familiar, it's clear that you know it well."
Paris crossed his hands on his chest, and said with a sneer, "This is not what I know about him, but everyone who knows him evaluates this way."
"Strange, according to what you say, there are quite a few people who know him, why I am the only one who has never heard of this name." Yang Cheng was full of doubts in his heart, and it was really not normal. For a family as big as Hearst, there is something It’s not surprising, even if Amanda is not the first heir, it’s not hard to accept. After all, she is a girl, but William IV is such a wonderful flower, and she lives in Los Angeles all year round. You should have heard of it more or less, even if it’s just A name with a little fur.
But the fact is that there is not even a hair!
"No, there are really not many people who know him, and even fewer people have dealt with him directly, because William's father is very strict with him, and he didn't even study in the United States." Paris said The rhetoric not only failed to solve Yang Cheng's confusion, but made him more confused.
But who cares, the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth, if the family is not involved, Yang Cheng is really not afraid of anyone to single him out one-on-one!
Without further chatting, Paris continued to go downstairs to the party, while Yang Cheng packed away the unfinished beef and several snacks, preparing to go home and watch a movie for supper.
. . .
The next morning, Yang Cheng walked into the office with a tired expression. When he was reviewing the briefing, Ruiz knocked on the door and came in. The charity project was settled.
"Boss, these are the donation projects I screened overnight, please have a look." Ruiz sat down and handed some stacks of folders to Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng didn't answer, she lowered her head to sign the paper, and said without raising her head, "I believe in your ability, just tell me what you think is the best choice."
Ruiz was taken aback, and he was still very moved by Yang Cheng's trust, "Yes, I think the most suitable project at present is the 'Focus on Minors Suffering from Domestic Violence' project initiated by the Melinda Gates Foundation .”
"Reason?" Yang Cheng asked succinctly, still without looking up.
"There are three reasons: first, the Melinda Gates Foundation has great influence, and the richest man endorses us, so the media dare not spread rumors at will;
Second, in recent years, the focus on underage vulnerable groups has increased day by day, which is more likely to arouse social resonance. This is very beneficial for us to reverse public opinion, and it is also conducive to helping you establish a good public image as soon as possible, boss;
Third, it doesn’t cost much to donate to this project. The Melinda Gates Foundation only invested 20 million US dollars, and we can also contribute the same amount. "
Yang Cheng raised his head and glanced at Ruiz, and said blankly, "Yes, but what we invested was not 20 million, but 40 million. To let the society see our determination, don't think about saving the other 40 million. Continue Cooperate with the Melinda Gates Foundation and look for other projects. I heard that the wife of the richest man is a feminist? Can you take advantage of this and tie her on our boat? The 80 million is not a waste.”
Ruiz froze for a few seconds, then understood Yang Cheng's deep meaning, and replied with some admiration, "It's the boss, I understand what to do!"
