Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong
Chapter 1692: Family first!
Shi Zhijian's refusal of the US green card and the Medal of Freedom quickly spread throughout the United States.
The white people who have always been arrogant and disregarded anyone know what it means to "disdain".
That's right, Shi Zhijian's contempt for the green card and the Medal of Freedom directly slapped many Americans in the face, including US President Carter.
Carter was surprised at Shi Zhijian's rejection of his kindness at first, then frustrated, and then angry.
After finally becoming the president, I had the cheek to give Shi Zhijian such an honorable opportunity, but the other party didn't cherish it.
In the end, Presidential Secretary Jack reminded the angry Carter that it was you, Mr. President, who first apologized to that Mr. Shi. There was nothing wrong with him doing this. After all, it is impossible for everyone in this world to revolve around you.
One sentence awakened the person in the dream, and let Carter know his situation. For people like Shi Zhijian, he could only comfort him and never make mistakes again.
So President Carter changed his mind and expressed respect for Shi Zhijian's personal opinion. It doesn't matter if he doesn't want a green card, but the Medal of Freedom must be awarded. This is his first major event as president.
Shi Zhijian wasn't interested in the medal at all, so he declined it again, this time making the people in the U.S. Congress feel embarrassed.
At first they were opposed to Shi Zhijian's awarding the honor, but they didn't expect him to be so uncommon. It's all right now, the elders of the Congress finally nodded and agreed to Carter's intercession, and gave Shi Zhijian a medal. Unexpectedly, Shi Zhijian refused again. What does this mean? It means that he is really not rare!
The medal that countless people desperately wanted to get was nothing to Shi Zhijian. This once again hit the lofty self-esteem of the Americans.
Carter was speechless at this point, he had no choice but to think of another way, and invited Shi Zhijian to his house as a guest on Christmas, and as a friend.
It's just that this visit has attracted the attention of major American media. Carter's villa was crowded with media reporters, and they set up long guns and short cannons to film Shi Zhijian's visit to Carter's house.
Carter didn't stop him from this, but politely told the reporters not to disturb their meal, especially this time the Christmas turkey was specially prepared for Shi Zhijian.
The implication is that this dinner tonight is very important, full of his deep feelings and friendship.
Faced with Carter's acting, Shi Zhijian was also very cooperative. After all, the other party has a special status, so he still needs to give enough face.
So that night, the guests and the host had a good talk, red wine, turkey, Christmas fireworks, and so on.
The next day, major media outlets in the United States published the intimate dinner between Carter and Shi Zhijian last night. The headline of the New York Times even wrote: "Carter and Shi Zhijian celebrate Christmas. The friendship between China and the United States lasts forever!"
…
Crack!
In the coffee shop, Donny Rothschild angrily slapped the newspaper in his hand on the table.
The loud noise caused everyone around to stare sideways.
Downey looked at the picture of Shi Zhijian shaking hands with Carter on the newspaper, and wished he could grab Shi Zhijian out of it and tear him to pieces.
"Damn thing! My nemesis! God, why did I meet you!" Downey growled, and the waitress who was refilling his coffee was so frightened that she covered her mouth and dared not go forward.
"Dear Mr. Downey, what made you so angry?" A fat white man walked over with a smile, took off his hat and scarf, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down opposite Downey with a smile.
Seeing the fat man, Downey's face changed suddenly, and he said coldly, "How did you find me?"
"How did you find it? Hehe---" the fat man laughed twice, "Everyone is celebrating Christmas now, so happy! You are not at home with your family, but you come here to drink coffee, it is quite pleasant!" said the fat man Then, he snapped his fingers, and asked the waitress to refill the coffee for Downey, and then said to the waitress, "Please bring me a cup of black coffee, the bitterest kind!"
After the waitress left, the fat man rested his chin on his hands, and said to Downey in a solemn tone: "Don't forget, the strength of the Rothschild veterans, if we can't even get this bit of information, how can we?" To dominate the entire financial world?"
"I will return the money! Give me some time!" Downey begged anxiously.
"Give you time? How long will it take? Ten years, or twenty years? Oh, by the way, the amount of your shortfall this time is not small. In terms of tens of billions, even if you work hard to make money, it will take hundreds of years to pay it off. The elders are afraid." Can't wait until that day."
After a pause, the fat man raised his eyebrows mischievously: "I have a very good suggestion, you sell all your assets, maybe you can return 10%, then I can talk to the elders for you Some words!"
"No! If I sell it, I will have nothing!" Downey refused, "Tell those old guys that I will not sell my property even if I die, yes, absolutely not!"
"Hehe!" The fat man laughed.
"Sir, your coffee!" The waitress brought the coffee.
"Thank you, beautiful girl, I wish you a Merry Christmas!" The fat man took out ten dollars from his pocket as a tip to the girl.
The girl said gratefully: "Thank you, sir! You are such a good man!"
"Yes, I am indeed a good person! And the most important thing is that rewards and punishments are clearly defined. Everyone should enjoy rewards or punishments at Christmas like this!" The fat man winked at the waitress, then turned his head to look at Downey and said: " Do you say so, Mr. Downey?"
Donnie kept his face sullen and said nothing.
The fat man took a sip of coffee, sighed and said, "As a friend, I have already given you the best advice, and I hope you will cherish it."
"As I said, I will not sell assets, never!" Downey said firmly.
"Alright then." The fat man shook his head, "Your stubbornness has affected me..."
Downey was overjoyed: "Will you give me another chance?"
"It's not me who gave you a chance~www.readwn.com~ It's the elders!" The fat man corrected with a sip of coffee, "They don't want to see you forced to death, after all, you are from the Rothschild family!"
Downey looked expectantly: "Then what are you going to do?"
"I'll give you a period of time, one year, is that enough? Pay off all the accounts!"
"Yes, I can do it!" Downey knew in his heart that one year would not solve any problems at all, but one year could help him do many things, such as getting rid of the elders' tracking.
"That's good, it's a deal!" The fat man stood up smiling and stretched out his hand to Downey.
Downey hurriedly got up and shook hands with him: "Thank you, Rafael, you are my forever friend!"
"You're welcome, don't forget that I was a poor boy back then, and you paid for my college education! It's also because of your help that I can become your family's accountant!"
