The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 326: A few dozen dollars a month, what’s the point of playing with that?
After leaving the train station, Chen Zhengwei saw a constant stream of carriages and pedestrians outside, as well as rows of shops on both sides of the road.

As soon as he arrived in Chicago, Chen Zhengwei felt that this place was indeed prosperous, wealthy, and very suitable for him.

This place is full of hope and vitality. A large number of factories close down every day, and new factories are built every day.

Every day, countless people come here by train, full of hope and looking for their own opportunities.

Police, gangsters, Pinkerton detectives, unfair society and labor-capital conflicts...

Chen Zhengwei smelled freedom in the air.

The only problem is a little bit!

Looking at the chimneys and the black smoke in the distance, Chen Zhengwei raised his hand. He felt that coal dust was floating in the air here.

"It's so lively here!" Aaron looked around and said excitedly.

San Francisco is already the largest and most prosperous city in the West, but compared to Chicago, it is like an old man.

"It's just a little dirty!" Chen Zhengwei smiled and said to his men, "Please move aside. You are blocking the road. How can people pass? Do you have any sense of public morality?"

Hundreds of people stood there, attracting almost everyone's attention.

But these people are not easy to mess with at first glance.

Even though half of the people there are Chinese, everyone is dressed in decent gentlemen's suits, has a fierce aura, never avoids looking at others, and is full of aggressiveness.

Even the copper buttons from the investigation bureau near the train station didn't dare to approach these people to question them.

I wondered in my heart where this big shot came from and why he had such a grand ceremony.

It has nothing to do with them anyway.

"Go find a carriage! Ask where the best hotel is."

Outside the train station, there were many horse-drawn carriages waiting to pick up passengers.

Although it is not luxurious enough, Chen Zhengwei doesn't care too much since he just arrived here.

"Let's buy some carriages in the afternoon! Remember to cover them with steel plates!" Chen Zhengwei said to Dapolan while looking at the stopped carriages.

"Boss, the most luxuriously decorated hotel here is the Palmer House Hotel! It was built just a few years ago!"

"It sounds familiar!" Chen Zhengwei pondered for a moment, and Li Xiwen said, "Brother, this is the hotel where they are going to hold the meeting!"

"No wonder it sounds so familiar!" Chen Zhengwei suddenly realized that those idiots were quite good at finding places.

"But the best hotel is generally recognized as the Tremont Hotel. It has the most style and the longest history. It was built more than 60 years ago, but it was renovated in the past few years. Celebrities and politicians like to stay here."

"Then let's go with the Tremont Hotel!" Chen Zhengwei made the decision immediately.

As we all know, he has always had style.

Before getting on the carriage, Mary Gardner showed a complicated look on her face, and then she let go of Chen Zhengwei's hand.

"I'm on a train, and I keep hoping that the train will never stop, but the journey must end. I'm leaving! I can take a train directly to New York from here!"

Chen Zhengwei tilted his head and looked at her: "If you have any trouble, you can contact me. I'm sure you know how to find me!"

Mary Gardner took a step forward, raised her head and kissed Chen Zhengwei's lips as if she was using all her strength, then took a step back.

He took the suitcase from the henchman and looked at Chen Zhengwei deeply.

"goodbye!"

Mary Gardner walked back a few steps with her suitcase, forcing a smile on her face, but her tears were a little reluctant.

Then, with red eyes and nose, she gave Chen Zhengwei her brightest smile and turned and left quickly.

Chen Zhengwei took a look, then turned around and got on the carriage.

"Brother Wei, she doesn't seem to want to leave. If you ask her, she might stay!" Aaron followed her onto the carriage road.

There are not many people as beautiful and well-built as Mary Gardner in San Francisco.

"Would you get tired of eating buns every day?"

"Definitely!"

"I can do that, too!" Chen Zhengwei kicked Aaron.

How can the new come if the old doesn’t go away?
The Tremont Hotel is located in downtown Chicago. As you enter the lobby, you will see luxuriously decorated and spacious public areas.

Some well-dressed celebrities sat in the public area waiting for people or chatting, or just sitting there quietly reading newspapers.

But I encountered a little trouble when checking in.

"Only five guest rooms? You can ask other guests to leave and ask them to go to another hotel." Aaron, with a bald head, gave advice to the hotel staff.

"I'm sorry, but we at the Tremont Hotel have never kicked out any guests! Anyone who stays in our hotel will receive the best service, which is the foundation of our hotel's survival." The hotel manager looked at Aaron and the unfriendly thugs behind him with an embarrassed look on his face.

In his heart, he wanted the security guards to drive away these bumpkins who came from nowhere, but there were too many of them...

Moreover, disputes affect other guests and will also affect the reputation of the hotel.

Aaron stared at the hotel manager for a few seconds. If he were in San Francisco, he would have hung him outside the hotel right now.

"Brother Wei, there are only five rooms! I wanted him to kick out some guests, but they disagreed!" A Long came to Chen Zhengwei and said.

"You have been discussing for so long, just for such a small matter? You have to remember, we are here to do business, not to cause trouble!

We will open five rooms first, and you guys just wait here. You can move into a room when one becomes available. If there is no room available, you can just wait here! Anyway, the sofas here are pretty comfortable!"

"If all else fails, we can sleep on the floor!" Chen Zhengwei said nonchalantly, sitting on the sofa with a cigar in his mouth.

Aaron felt that he had learned something. With more than 400 people standing in the hotel lobby, he believed that the hotel would be able to vacate rooms soon.

If it really doesn't work, you can assign some people to stand at the door.

As Chen Zhengwei's top man, Aaron has always been good at learning from experience!

Soon, the room was checked in and Chen Zhengwei went straight upstairs.

But the hotel manager soon began to feel uneasy.

I saw hundreds of young men in gentleman's suits filling the hall, and the sofas in the public area were also filled with them, sitting there with their legs crossed and smoking.

When guests came in or out, those people would look over.

Although they were silent, their eyes were fierce, and even the manager felt that the air was filled with murderous intent.

The manager had no choice but to find Aaron.

"Sir...is there anything I can help you with?"

"We've been sitting here for so long, and there's not even a glass of water! Is this how you treat guests in your hotel? Pour a glass of water for each person!" Aaron said carelessly.

The hotel manager frowned, and seeing that the other party was not willing to listen, he could only say bluntly:

"Sir, you are disturbing our hotel guests! Could you please go to another place?"

"Don't you ever kick guests out of your hotel? We're waiting for a room here, so we're guests too! You don't want us to stay here, do you? Are you targeting us?"

Aaron looked at the manager with a bad look.

"Do you know where the last person who targeted me is now?" "He is swimming in the sea! He has been swimming for a month and he doesn't even come up to breathe! I admire him!" Aaron said, slapping his thigh.

"Sir, our guests here are all people of status! So is our boss!" There was a hint of threat in the manager's words.

"You mean, we have no identity anymore?" Aaron stood up and stood in front of the hotel manager, staring at him.

Although he was a little shorter than the hotel manager, the moment he stood up, the manager felt a fierce aura coming towards him and subconsciously took two steps back.

Then he turned around and left, calling a waiter: "Go notify the investigation bureau! Tell them there's a gangster causing trouble!"

He was certain that the other party was a gang member.

Now that the Ministry of Justice and local investigation bureaus are cracking down on gangs, these people still dare to cause trouble in the hotel so unscrupulously. I believe the investigation bureau will teach them a lesson.

Soon, a team of more than 20 people from the Investigation Bureau arrived at the hotel.

As soon as I came in, I saw a group of young men in gentleman's suits and soft hats, standing or sitting, almost filling up the hotel lobby and public areas.

The team leader cursed inwardly, why are there so many people?

However, the owner of this hotel is very prestigious and most of the guests are politicians and celebrities, so he has to step in to solve the hotel's problems.

"Call your boss!" the team leader shouted with a cold face.

In an instant, hundreds of gazes were cast over, making the people from the Investigation Bureau feel their scalps tingling.

But I can only bite the bullet.

"What's the matter?" Aaron stood up and walked over shakily.

"Are you the leader? Who have already moved in?" the team leader asked coldly.

"You want to see our boss? But your status is not high enough!" Aaron took out a wad of money from his pocket, took out five hundred dollars and handed it over.

"Just make friends!"

Seeing that he wanted to bribe him, the team leader immediately felt confident and said coldly:
"Call your boss over!"

Seeing that the other party didn't give him face, Aaron's face immediately turned cold, and he took out his gun and pointed it at the captain's head: "You don't want money, so you just want bullets?"

The other investigation bureau personnel were about to draw their guns when they saw this, but there were sounds of guns being drawn all around, with guns pointed at the twenty or so investigation bureau personnel in the middle.

Several guests just came out of the elevator.

After seeing this scene, he immediately returned to the elevator.

The elevator quickly went up again.

"Chinese, are you trying to scare me? This method won't work on me! If you dare to shoot, I guarantee you will be in big trouble!" The team leader stared at Aaron and said firmly.

He was sure that the other party would not dare to shoot.

"Really?" Aaron's fingers moved slightly. He really wanted to pull the trigger.

If it were in San Francisco, he would have just killed the other person.

But Brother Wei had just specifically reminded them that they were here to do business, not to cause trouble.

But if I put the gun away now, where would I put my face?

"Brother Wei is here!" said the henchman behind him.

Hearing that Chen Zhengwei was coming, Aaron immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Wei!" All the thugs in the hall moved to the sides.

"What are you doing? Why so noisy!" Chen Zhengwei took a short rest upstairs, changed his clothes and prepared to go out to visit the local boss.

Member of the Republican Party.

Then ask them to introduce people from the investigation bureau and the court.

When doing business abroad, the most important thing is to make friends with people in the judicial department.

How can he walk around like that in San Francisco? He supports the entire FBI!

"Brother Wei, the dog from the Investigation Bureau came to cause trouble, but he doesn't even want money. I think he wants bullets!" Aaron turned and said to Chen Zhengwei.

"What the hell did I just say?" Chen Zhengwei kicked him directly.

"We are here to do business, not to cause trouble! I just went upstairs for a short while and got into trouble?" Chen Zhengwei glared at Aaron.

After kicking Aaron aside, Chen Zhengwei stretched out his hand and pressed it down: "Put away all the guns!"

Then he walked up to the captain of the investigation bureau and looked down at him: "What do you want?"

"Take your people away from here!" The team leader looked at the tall young man in front of him, feeling a little nervous.

He was confident when facing Aaron just now, but he became nervous when facing Chen Zhengwei.

"I just checked into this hotel, and you want me to leave?" Chen Zhengwei looked at him, then turned to look at the manager not far away: "Why, your hotel doesn't want to do business? If you don't want to do it, then don't do it!"

After saying that, he looked at the team leader in front of him and said, "If you cover the national flag, will the hotel owner pay you for the resettlement fee?"

"Are you threatening me?" The team leader's face changed and he said coldly.

"I'm just curious, just asking!"

Chen Zhengwei patted him on the shoulder and said, "But be careful when you go out. After all, Chicago is so chaotic, anything can happen! You might get shot when you leave this door."

"By the way, is your wife pretty? You know, other people's women are always better than others, and domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers!"

"You!" The team leader suddenly became furious and glared at Chen Zhengwei.

"Why are you risking your life for a salary of just a few dozen dollars a month?" Chen Zhengwei smiled, waved at Aaron, and took the 500 yuan from his hand.

"Take it and bring your brothers for coffee!"

"You'd better accept it. No one has ever been able to refuse my kindness!" Although Chen Zhengwei spoke with a smile, the pressure he brought to the team leader was much greater than that of A Long.

Chen Zhengwei has the dignity of a high position, and also has the power to decide other people's life or death with a single word.

The team leader stared at Chen Zhengwei with sweat on his forehead, and slowly reached out to take the money from Chen Zhengwei!
He didn't even dare to look at the gaze of the person behind him.

"That's right. If you lose your job, you can find another one. If you still can't find a job, you can come to me. But if you lose your life, you lose everything!" Chen Zhengwei smiled.

"Great Poland and his men are waiting here. Aaron, take your men and follow me to do something!" Chen Zhengwei turned his head and gave an order, then led his men away.

As for the hotel manager, he was not going to bother with him.

Just a small figure, Chen Zhengwei is not such a stingy person.

I guess I’ll be able to meet the hotel owner when I come back!
This six-story hotel has more than two hundred rooms and is the oldest and most famous hotel in Chicago.

"Go to Prairie Avenue!" Chen Zhengwei ordered as he got into the carriage.

Prairie Avenue in the South Side of Chicago is home to many of Chicago's wealthiest and most influential people.

Chen Zhengwei is going to meet a Chicago congressman.
