My days as a landlord in Gotham

Li Lei has to admit that even if he doesn't look at Harvey's education and resume, just looking at Harvey's appearance can attract a wave of fans.

As a student, Harvey was definitely the most popular American football quarterback in the school.

Football quarterbacks are not necessarily the strongest on the team, but they are definitely the smartest.

Competitors in other sports give 'low IQ'

The impression is different, the football quarterback has always been regarded as a representative of high physical fitness and brain IQ.

You must know that in a football game, even for a university-level team, there are as many as 200 sets of tactics that need to be practiced in a year, and most of them need to be memorized by the quarterback.

Because the game is ever-changing, the coach often can only say the tactical code (if you say the specific name, it will be heard by the opponent and lose meaning)

, the quarterback must execute this set of tactics according to the code.

What's more troublesome is that in order to keep the opponents from knowing the changes in their tactics, the coaching staff refreshes the code names on the tactics manual almost every year.

It is absolutely impossible to be a quarterback on a football team without excellent memory and comprehension.

Fortunately, Harvey also knew that the people in the audience were a little impatient. He only emphasized two points on the stage. The first point is that the Gotham City District Attorney's Office will never compromise; City has never needed Batman or Justice League vigilantes.

When Harvey talked about the second point, Li Lei saw Deputy Director Gordon and Bruce sitting in the front row move slightly.

You must know that Harvey is one of the few people in the Gotham City Police Department who support the vigilante, and Bruce is Batman himself, no wonder the two feel a little uncomfortable.

Immediately after these leaders finished speaking, the charity auction began.

Most of the auction items were small items donated by famous Gotham stars, which were not of high value, but only on this occasion.

Since most of the auctioned items were jewelry gestures, and Li Lei didn't have any female close friends, Li Lei was not interested at all.

In the end, for Bruce's sake, he took a picture of a Ming Dynasty porcelain tea set donated by the Wayne family.

Li Lei also played with antiques before time travel, so he naturally knew that this set of porcelain was so-called folk porcelain, and it was also folk porcelain from the late Ming Dynasty, so it was not worth much in China.

However, since it is a collection of the Wayne family, it is also a bit of the blessing of the Wayne family's reputation, so Li Lei spent 2 US dollars to buy it.

Regarding Li Lei's support, Bruce naturally stood up and gave Li Lei a hug.

This kind of business bragging is not only helpful to the foundation, but also conducive to letting the outside world know the friendly relationship between the two, so as not to worry about the development of the Gene Technology Group, a joint venture between Wayne Group, Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi.

At the donation signing ceremony, Li Lei's donation of US$100 million on behalf of Excellence immediately became the most watched news on the scene.

Even though Li Lei originally planned to leave after attending the signing ceremony, he had no way to shirk because of requests from various celebrities to talk.

Some people are the top snakes in Gotham City, such as the mayor, the speaker, and the party representatives of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party in Gotham City; Li Lei's fate was decided, and Li Lei naturally did not dare to neglect.

Don't you see that even if you have a "playboy"

At this time, the humanized Bruce is also obediently chatting and laughing with the bosses.

Humans are social animals after all, and a lone wolf character can easily suffer greatly in modern society.

"Mr. Li, it's a pleasure to meet you on such an occasion."

Just as Li Lei was dealing with celebrities one by one, a fairly familiar voice sounded from the back of his head.

Li Lei turned around, and it was actually Harvey.

Harvey stood in front of Li Lei with a glass of red wine, and he said with a smile, "I don't know what Mr. Li thinks about our recent 'anti-mafia operation' in Gotham City?

If Mr. Li has ever been threatened by any gang organization, you may as well tell me, we will definitely help you find them and send them to prison for the rest of their lives.

And Mr. Li, please rest assured that the prison they are staying in is the highest-level prison in the Federation, and it is definitely not a place like Gotham Prison.

At the same time, Mr. Li doesn't have to worry about your personal safety, we keep it absolutely confidential. "

Harvey and Li Lei chattered a lot, and the general meaning was nothing more than hoping that Li Lei could support his "anti-triad operation"

And he will definitely guarantee Li Lei's safety.

At the same time, Harvey also cryptically stated that he will run for mayor after the end of the term of mayor of Gotham, and invited Li Lei to participate in his private card game every Thursday night.

For Harvey's friendly temptation, Li Lei did not completely reject or accept it, but rather kindly said that if Harvey wants to hold a fundraising party in the future, feel free to send an invitation to himself.

Hearing Li Lei's promise, Harvey finally left with a glass of wine in satisfaction.

"That Harvey also talked to you about his running for mayor?"

Not long after Harvey left, Bruce came over.

Li Lei was not surprised that Bruce would be found by Harvey.

The Wayne Group is like a royal family in Gotham City. If you can get the support of the Wayne Group when you run for public office, you will not only gain a large amount of political donations, but more importantly, the all-round support of the Wayne Group .

There are as many as 10,000+ employees working for the Wayne Group in Gotham City alone, and the votes of these 10,000+ people are enough to influence a general election.

Since Harvey is interested in running for mayor, Bruce must not be able to avoid him.

"His tough policies are actually quite in line with the current thinking of the middle class and the wealthy class in Gotham."

Li Lei said softly, "For the middle class, nothing is more important than being able to live in safety and peace of mind, and Harvey's recent anti-crime measures have given them hope.

As for the wealthy class, if Gotham City still cannot attract foreign tourists, it will not last long just relying on those gray incomes that are neither black nor white, so they also hope that there will be fewer gangsters in Gotham.

As long as Harvey can live well, it is not impossible for him to become the mayor.

If he can become mayor, maybe Gotham can be as lustful as New York. "

Li Lei's words were not intended to flatter Harvey. One must know that New York City next door to Gotham City had also been depraved. The Mafia once dominated the entire New York City.

But under the tough attitude of the mayor at the time, the security environment in New York has also improved a lot.

Therefore, Li Lei felt that as long as the city government had confidence and the police and prosecutors were willing to cooperate, it would not be difficult to reverse the law and order in a place.

However, most local governments in the United States are "manager system"

That is to say, the mayor is actually a senior wage earner hired by the city council.

If the city government finally cannot resist and wants to flee, then the mayor will definitely be pushed out to sacrifice the flag.

But Li Lei felt that the upstart of the Democratic Party like Harvey would not be reduced to that point anyway.

"But his attitude towards the vigilante is not friendly."

Although Bruce supports the work of the police and the prosecution, he still cares about his status as a vigilante.

Since Bruce formed the Justice League relatively smoothly, Bruce did not infiltrate the Gotham police too much, so currently the only supporter in the police station is James Gordon.

However, Li Lei knew that according to the development of the plot, Harvey Bullock, who was lurking beside Gordon, would take the initiative to contact Gordon because of his conscience, and then become Batman's best assistant in the police station.

After all, Gordon's personality is too straightforward, and corruption has long been prevalent within the Gotham Police Department, so the police force that Gordon can control is very limited.

On the contrary, Bullock, a small character, has a smoother personality and he was born under the current Gotham Mayor Hamilton Hill, so Bullock is a more popular character in the police department.

Strictly speaking, there are actually several supporters of Batman in Gotham Police.

It's a pity that DC cartoonists have too many parallel universes, and Li Lei is not sure which DC universe he is using in this dimension, so Li Lei dare not act rashly.

While Bruce was chatting with Li Lei, a man in a police uniform came over suddenly.

"I'm sorry to interrupt the conversation between the two gentlemen. I am the captain of the Gotham Police Department, Jon Jones."

After speaking, he took the initiative to extend his hand to Li Lei and Bruce.

When Li Lei shook hands with this person, he immediately activated Occlumency.

"I'm really sorry to disturb you two, but as the person in charge of the police force where the two company headquarters are located, I haven't been able to say hello to you, and I always feel something is wrong."

"Oh, you are Captain Jones, Gotham Detective?"

When it comes to the big and small news and gossip in Gotham City, Bruce always has it at his fingertips.

Li Lei had heard about this Captain Jones in several reports, because since he joined the Gotham Police Department, the detection rate of the cases he was in charge of was as high as [-]%.

He also received several death threats, but before those gangsters had time to do anything, they were led by the police captain to wipe them out.

Even the governor of New Jersey praised him in a public occasion, thinking that if the state's law enforcement officials had half the ability of Captain Jones, the law and order in New Jersey would definitely be able to take it to a higher level.

"For Mr. Wayne to remember my name, it seems that my fame these days has played a role."

Captain Jones said with a smile.

He took out two business cards and handed them to Li Lei and Bruce, "If you have any questions, please contact me."

After watching Captain Jones walk away, Li Lei leaned into Bruce's ear and said, "This man's mental power is a bit scary. He can spy on anyone's thoughts and memories at close range. Be careful when dealing with him." a little."

"Can he pry into people's hearts?"

Bruce was a little surprised, "Aren't my memories of the Justice League?"

"Don't worry, he didn't take the initiative to spy on your heart this time."

Li Lei comforted him.

One of the benefits of Occlumency is that when someone is spying on you, it will actively warn you, so that the caster can know whether the other party is spying on you.

"Do you have a way to prevent this kind of prying?"

Bruce asked.

"I have a way."

Li Lei's next words immediately dispelled Bruce's thoughts, "But it belongs to the category of magic."

"Well, it seems that I can only find a way to study the brain field."

Bruce said with some disappointment.

After chatting with Bruce for a while, Li Lei left the party with an excuse.

After all, Bruce's personality is a waste of salary, so it's no problem for him to hunt for beauty here; while Li Lei's main personality is Nerd, if he gets entangled with young models here, it will be a bit of a collapsed personality.

Li Lei took the VIP elevator to the VIP parking area alone, but when Li Lei asked the driver to open the door, he found that his driver was unconscious in the driver's seat.

At the same time, the cold gun barrel was attached to Li Lei's head.
