Chapter 63 Attending a High-Class Banquet
"Forget it. Being too obsessed with controlling other people's minds is not a good thing. After all, this world ultimately depends on strength."

If Rumlow had the strength to resist, verbal orders would mean nothing to him. He would even dare to tear up the contract written in black and white.

It’s because I’m not as strong as others. I can only accept the defeat if I’m cheated!
Carl shook his head and left the living room, planning to talk to Wanda about attending the party tonight.

12 noon, lunch time.

Carl and Wanda, still handsome in their suits, sat opposite each other in the restaurant on the first floor of the manor.

The maids brought high-end Western dishes that were delicious and tasty to the table one after another.

Wanda was wearing an elegant light pink evening gown. She looked somewhat out of place, especially the restraint on her chest made her feel very uncomfortable.

She had never worn such clothes, which were only worn by ladies of the upper class.

It was only because she was going to attend a high-class banquet that she prepared in advance to get used to the feeling of wearing an evening gown.

The reason why they attended the business party was, firstly, that Carl wanted to go out and relax, and secondly, he was going to promote the reputation of the private hospital at the party.

The soft candlelight reflected on Carl and Wanda's faces, and the aroma slowly diffused in the air, interweaving a warm atmosphere and creating the taste of home.

"Honey, do you have hemorrhoids? You can't even sit still."

Carl, the straight man, destroyed the warm atmosphere at the dinner table as soon as he opened his mouth.

Wanda gathered her hair around her ears, and while trying to adjust her sitting position, she said with shame and anger:

"You are so easy to talk, I don't want to embarrass myself at the party tonight.

If you don't adapt now, and make a fool of yourself tonight, wouldn't you lose face? "

Karl said in a nonchalant manner: “Don’t take this kind of high-class gathering too seriously.

Those so-called senior elites appear to be decent people on the surface, but you can’t imagine the dirty things they do behind the scenes.

What's more, with the Umbrella's famous reputation, who dares to look down on us?
Dear, just treat it as an ordinary party. There is no need to force yourself to do something you don’t like just for the sake of face.”

There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to give up!
Since Carl said so, Wanda was too lazy to continue adjusting to this evening dress that made her feel uncomfortable no matter how she sat.

She let go of her cautious attitude, picked up the fork and stabbed the Angus steak in front of her, but couldn't help but sighed:
"You don't understand. Even if others don't dare to ridicule me openly, they might laugh at me behind my back, saying I'm a country bumpkin."

Carl tried the salmon pudding with California walnut salsa, which looked very delicately presented.

"Cough cough."

Complex flavors explode in your mouth.

Karl almost couldn't help vomiting, and quickly drank some honey grapefruit tea to calm himself.

Even though he has been eating high-end Western food for several years, he still can't get used to it.

Carl called the maid to remove the unpalatable dish, then tried a bite of the Angus steak and found it tasted pretty good.

He ate the meat with big mouthfuls in a very bold manner, and comforted her:

"Believe it or not, those ladies who love gossip would only exclaim, "Oh, Mr. Karl's uninhibited look is so charming!" when they see me in this 'ugly state'."

If Tony had attended a party in his pajamas, people would have just thought he was unique.

This shows that when you reach a certain social status, no matter how ugly your behavior is, people will just think you like to be different. "

After listening to Carl's long speech, Wanda just let it go in one ear and out the other, not really listening to what he said at all.

It is also difficult for normal people to not care about other people's opinions at all. Wanda was silent for a while, and suddenly she realized: "I understand, wouldn't it solve the problem if I changed to a larger evening dress? I am so smart!"

Speechless Carl: "You are so smart!"

7pm, at the famous St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan.

A luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom arrived at the hotel entrance.

Two doormen hurried forward to help open the car door, and Carl and Wanda calmly got out of the car and walked towards the hotel gate.

When the lobby manager on the first floor of the hotel saw the two distinguished guests, Carl and Wanda, coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to invite them to the banquet hall.

Take the high-speed elevator to the 31st floor and arrive at the magnificent banquet hall.

Carl saw many well-dressed elite men drinking and chatting with socialites who were wearing elegant evening gowns and diamond jewelry.

Today Wanda wore a carefully selected orange evening dress that perfectly showed off her graceful curves.

Add to that her young and beautiful appearance and the hint of deep, snow-white features.

As soon as she appeared, she attracted the greedy gazes of many men.

Carl frowned when he saw this, these guys were really too lazy to even pretend, how could they be so rude as to stare at a lady?

Fortunately, just before Carl was about to get angry.

The host of tonight's banquet, the chairman of the Osborn Group, the elegant old Norman Osborn, dressed in a black suit, came over to help.

"Hey! Look who's here?
Carl Davis, CEO of Umbrella.

And Mr. Carl brought his charming female companion. It is an honor that you are willing to attend this banquet."

Hearing the name "Umbrella" which seemed to have magic, everyone at the banquet couldn't help but show surprise on their faces.

In New York's upper class society, the extraordinary things done by the protectors have long spread throughout this top circle.

Most people quickly turned their heads away, not daring to look at Karl and the others for fear of offending this famous "death" businessman.

Except for some people standing in the corner, their eyes lit up and they were eager to find an opportunity to come forward and chat.

"Mr. Norman, thank you very much for being willing to promote Umbrella's private hospital."

Carl exchanged a few polite words with old Norman, then took Wanda to the corner of the banquet hall.

This party was convened by Carl using the influence of old Norman in order to promote private hospitals.

After all, the Osborne Group is the world's largest biomedical consortium, with a market value of more than 2700 billion US dollars.

With old Osborne coming out to support us, it will be more convincing.

Of course, this kind of help is definitely not free. In addition to owing a favor to someone, some exchange of interests must also be made.

But these are minor problems. As long as the fully automatic medical platform Medpod can make a name for itself, everything will be worth it.

Wanda, who followed Carl like a follower, seemed a little reserved.

After all, she didn't know any of the ladies around her, and seeing that everyone was keeping a distance from her, she didn't want to rush to communicate with others.

Karl gently held Wanda's hand and comforted her: "Relax, maybe you can go talk to some people of your age. There is a young girl over there who seems to be very interested in you."
