The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 506 Bullying goes too far
After the excitement of seeing Chen Zhengwei wore off, Cicely felt that it was really rude of her to appear here in such casual clothes.

"I'll go upstairs and change my clothes! Where is the room?" Cicely asked.

"Take her there!" Chen Zhengwei waved to the men beside him.

Cicely glanced at the newly-adult socialites present, then turned around and nodded slightly to the wealthy men, maintaining a polite smile: "Sorry, I'm so rude!"

"It's okay, Miss Dupont, we all understand! This reminds me of my youth." The others smiled kindly.

Cicely Dupont then went upstairs to change into her dress.

Just brought it in the luggage.

Moreover, this time she not only brought bodyguards with her, but also a maid. It wouldn't take too much time for her to change her clothes and dress up a little.

Cicely Dupont then said goodbye and left the banquet hall. Her posture and manners were impeccable, she spoke in a graceful and elegant manner, and her temperament was extremely outstanding. It was obvious that she was the child of a large family and had been carefully nurtured since childhood.

Everyone was certain without asking that this was the descendant of the DuPont family.

After Cicely left, Chen Zhengwei walked to the front, glanced at everyone's faces, and said with some disinterest: "You should all know why I'm here."

"The KKK is a cancer in this society. The existence of this organization will only slow down the pace of this society... You should know what they have done. Even the mayor of Houston was retaliated by them, kidnapped and killed."

"I hope you can donate money and effort as a bonus to fight the KKK throughout Texas..."

When Chen Zhengwei spoke, he deliberately spoke slowly to give them a chance to interrupt.

As long as someone interrupts him, he has an excuse to get angry!
But everyone just listened quietly, without even one person interrupting.

Everyone applauded.

"Mr. Chen's initiative is good for the entire Texas. We will definitely strongly support it!" Henry Rosenberg said with a smile.

"Yes, the city government has made a plan to crack down on the KKK! With Mr. Chen's initiative and the support of celebrities, I believe this city will soon become clean. Every citizen will be grateful for Mr. Chen's contribution to the city." Mayor George Finnegan also said.

Afterwards, all the wealthy people present donated generously and took out the checks they had prepared long ago.

Even Mayor George Finnegan donated $15000, and the wealthy donated at least $3.

These dozen celebrities and wealthy people donated $52.

Chen Zhengwei looked around but couldn't find any opportunity to lose his temper.

A moment later, Cicely Dupont changed into a white dress and wore a flower in her hair.

She was naturally beautiful, with skin as white as milk. She was wearing a white dress, which gave her a holy feeling, and her face was filled with a happy smile.

No matter how beautiful the ladies in the banquet hall were, they pale in comparison to Cicely Dupont.

As the dance music in the banquet hall started, Cicely Dupont, with a happy look on her face, pulled Chen Zhengwei into the dance floor.

"You don't look happy..." Cicely DuPont was very keenly aware of Chen Zhengwei's unhappiness.

"Damn it, I want to kill two people, but when I look up and around, they are all like fucking grandsons. I can't even find a chance to kill anyone!" Chen Zhengwei said angrily.

"Why kill people?" Cicely Dupont asked.

"I am a born killer!" Chen Zhengwei snorted.

Although Chen Zhengwei was unhappy, every movement he made was smooth and full of artistic beauty.

The other guests who were originally dancing on the dance floor soon stepped aside to watch. To be fair, even if you don't like this yellow-skinned guy, you have to admit that he is very artistic when he dances. In addition, there always seems to be a layer of light on him, and he seems to be in the center of the stage no matter where he is.

It's impossible not to admire it.

"Why don't you dance? Don't you like it?" Chen Zhengwei turned his head and looked to the side, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were rather unfriendly.

"I was so busy admiring your dancing that I accidentally stepped on my wife's feet several times! If she keeps dancing, I'll have to carry her away on my back! So I'd better just stand aside and watch!" Mayor George Finnegan complimented with a smile.

"Now I finally believe that some people can do anything well!" William Moody also applauded with a kind smile.

"It makes me feel ashamed!"

"I thought you were watching a fucking show!" Chen Zhengwei said angrily.

"I'm very angry right now. Please do as you please. I'm going back to my room first!" Chen Zhengwei felt it was boring, so he pulled Cicely DuPont away.

He kicked the door of the banquet hall on his way out.

boom!
After leaving the house, Chen Zhengwei said to the henchmen behind him, "See who left early and tell me tomorrow."

Then he took Cicely Dupont and hurried upstairs. As soon as they entered the room, Cicely hugged his neck, stood on tiptoes and kissed him.

……

Watching Chen Zhengwei's back disappearing out the door, everyone looked at each other and smiled with satisfaction.

And a bit proud.

Finally, I saw this Chinese man get humiliated.

In the past, Houston's wealthy and famous people had been given a lot of trouble by him.

But on second thought, what is there to be proud of?
Even so, everyone was in a good mood.

Soon, the dance continued, and without Chen Zhengwei's presence, the party became more lively.

It was not until ten o'clock in the evening, the normal time for the banquet to end, that everyone said goodbye to each other and left.

……

It was almost noon when Chen Zhengwei woke up.

Cicely Dupont laid on her side with one hand on his chest, staring at him intently with a sweet smile on her face.

The white quilt covered her body, leaving only her shoulders exposed.

"Are you trying to scare me to death?" Chen Zhengwei opened his eyes and saw a pair of eyes staring at him. He almost kicked her off the bed.

"I don't believe you are afraid of anything!" Cicely Dupont's eyes were curved when she smiled.

Anyone who sees her feels like they are in first love.

It’s still the most beautiful first love in my memory.

Chen Zhengwei stretched out his hand to push her away, pressing it against his chest. It was very large and elastic.

Cicely has a big, big heart.

Chen Zhengwei got up, took out a cigar, lit it, walked to the window and looked out. From here he could see ships constantly entering and leaving the port in the distance, and the endless ocean.

"Have you ever been afraid of anything?" Cicely asked curiously while lying on her side on the bed.

Chen Zhengwei thought about it and felt that he was really not afraid of anything.

He was never afraid of being poor.

He is not afraid of being poor, so he is even less afraid of death. Poverty is much more terrifying than death.

"Damn, your question has stumped me!" Chen Zhengwei turned his head and grinned.

"That's great!" Cicely's eyes were full of longing and fearlessness, just like what Chen Zhengwei had always shown.

……

Philadelphia, Greater Poland sat on the sofa in the hotel, holding in his hands the information of this year's Republican candidates.

There are dozens of candidates this year, but most of them are just runners-up. The most noteworthy one is former President Ulysses S. Grant, who served two terms as president, from 1869 to 1877, and is now running again.

He has the support of a large number of conservative members of the Republican Party.

This man is conservative but not tough, a hero during the Civil War, and a former president with a high reputation...

Next is former House Speaker and Maine Senator James G. Bryan, who represents the half-blood wing of the Republican Party.

This man is very shrewd and good at behind-the-scenes dealings...

Then there was Ohio Senator and Treasury Secretary John Sherman, who represented some of the centrists and reformers.

A calm and pragmatic trader with good professional skills and a gentle touch.

For this election, Greater Poland specifically contacted many members of the Republican Party to ask them for their opinions.

To this end, he also formed a working group, whose members are Republican members and lawyers, elites who are proficient in politics and law, to help him analyze and provide opinions.

Of course, the most important thing is the attitude of the boss Chen Zhengwei.

However, Chen Zhengwei is now far away in Texas, and many things can only be decided by him first and then reported.

The Republican Party is divided into several factions. The conservatives mainly support the patronage system, in which the winner of the party allocates government positions to his supporters and friends, and oppose civil service reform.

The half-blood faction holds a completely opposite position to the conservatives. They support civil service reform and clean government.

As for the reformists, they are more extensive and overlap to a certain extent with the half-blood faction. They are not limited to supporting civil service reform, but also support electoral reform, anti-monopoly measures, labor rights, women's voting policies, etc., and include all Republican members who support various reforms.

In addition to these three, there are several other candidates who are not as popular, but they also need to be met.

For example, the conservative leader Roscoe Conkling... He was said to be tough, firm and uncompromising.

There is another candidate from the reform faction, Vermont Senator George F. Edmonds, who has great influence in the Senate and a tough attitude... But this person has an important position - he firmly supports monogamy and hates Mormon polygamy.

"I don't think the boss will like him!" Dapolan looked at George Edmonds' information and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, people have arrived in the past two days, and it's time for us to start working!" Dapolon said to his men.

"Our former president, Ulysses S. Grant, has he arrived yet?"

"Just arrived in Philadelphia this morning! Already checked into the National Hotel!" a man next to Greater Poland said immediately.

"Please deliver a letter and a business card for me, and also bring a business card from the big boss, and tell him that I want to visit him." said Dapolan.

Soon, several Poles rushed to the National Hotel and found Ulysses Grant's campaign team.

"Our boss wants to visit Mr. Ulysses Grant!"

"Do you have a letter of recommendation?" the campaign staff asked first.

"If there is no recommendation letter, Mr. Grant's schedule is very busy and he may not be able to spare the time..."

"I suggest you take a look at it!" The thug in gentleman's suit smiled and handed over two business cards.

The campaign member casually took two business cards. The truly important people would not visit Ulysses Grant in this way.

Those who visited like this were usually ordinary wealthy people...but the Republican Convention was coming up, and Ulysses didn't have time to meet those wealthy people.

Then he saw a Chinese name on the gold-plated business card that felt the best.

Chen Zhengwei.

On the back is the English word Chen Zhengwei.

When the campaign staff member saw the name, his mouth opened slightly and his heart was beating wildly.

How could campaign staff like them not pay attention to this Chinese person who is currently the most popular in the United States?
He said quickly, "Can you please leave your contact information? How should I inform you if there is any news?"

"We'll just wait in the lobby on the first floor. Give us a reply as soon as possible."

"Otherwise our boss will be very unhappy!"

The henchman smiled at him and turned away.

Soon, the business card and letter were first delivered to the campaign manager and then to Ulysses Grant.

"You know, I don't like Chinese Chen." Grant looked at the letter and then at the two business cards in his hand.

Obviously, Chen Zhengwei's business card is a stepping stone.

The person who actually came to visit was Chen Zhengwei's subordinate, Jan Kowalski.

He was a hero of the Civil War and disliked Chen Zhengwei, a yellow man who had caused a lot of trouble in the United States, not to mention lowering himself to meet with his men.

“This Jan Kowalski, nicknamed Big Poland, is in charge of China Chen’s business in Chicago.”

"China Chen is still in Texas! I suggest Mr. Grant meet him!"

“Maybe it won’t do any good, but it will save us a lot of trouble!”

Grant thought for a long time before saying, "You're right! When will I have time?"

"Tomorrow afternoon from 1 to 2:5, or in the evening from 6 to ..."

"Then tomorrow night at 5 o'clock!"

……

Meanwhile, Washington.

"The brutal murder of a French nobleman in the United States has caused great indignation in the French Third Republic!"

"Viscount de Calment was committed to promoting friendly exchanges and cooperation between France and the United States. His unfortunate death is a serious blow to the relationship between the two countries."

"On behalf of the French Third Republic, I would like to express my most serious concern and protest to the government of the United States of America."

"We strongly urge the U.S. government to immediately take the following measures:"

"Launch a prompt and comprehensive investigation... severely punish the murderer and ensure the safety of French citizens... provide a detailed report on the case... express condolences to the victim's family and apologize..."

Secretary of State William M. Everts looked at the protest statement in his hand and asked his assistant secretary: "What's the matter with this French aristocrat?"

"Any news from the Ministry of Justice?"

"He died in Houston..." the assistant secretary reminded softly.

"And then?" William M. Everts frowned.

"When he died, China Chen was in Houston! There is news that he did it!" the assistant secretary continued.

This familiar scene made William Everts' blood pressure rise immediately, and he slapped the table.

"Too deceiving!"

The British ambassador was beaten by the Chinese, and then he sent himself a letter of protest, asking himself to give an explanation.

The impoverished French nobleman was killed by the Chinese, and he even sent himself a letter of protest, asking him to give an explanation.

He couldn't believe that the French didn't know who did it!

In the end, they all come to cause trouble for me. I am easy to be bullied, right?
