A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

He prefers the former.

After all, if he waited for the deputy director to make the first move against him before choosing to retaliate, it would be too obvious.

So these days, Lu Ke has been looking for a suitable mentally ill gunman.

what?

This is also quite obvious.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Again.

He has now passed the most dangerous developmental period. With his current strength, if he can't stay in the FBI, he can always go to New York to find Yin Yang, or go abroad to find Tang Bei.

Luke is very open-minded.

at this time.

Rachel came out of the dressing room again: "This is it."

Luke jumped out of bed, and after his gaze fell on Rachel, his eyes once again flashed with a look of amazement.

This time, Rachel changed into an ice-blue dress, which, unlike the first one, made her look more sexy, but instead made her look noble and elegant.

However, the minimalist yet exquisite design also highlights Rachel's beautiful figure, making her look exceptionally radiant under the spotlights in the dressing room behind her.

Rachel noticed the fleeting look of amazement in Luke's eyes, and a slight smile played on her delicate lips.

Tonight's private cocktail party is just a simple party for Luke, but for Rachel, it's much more than that.

Because tonight she appeared as Luke's girlfriend.

This is the first time!

Therefore, Rachel takes tonight's party very seriously.

A few days after Luke invited her to tonight's cocktail party, she began preparing her outfit in advance.

"How about it."

Rachel looked at Luke with a smile.

Lu Ke got out of bed and gave a very fair assessment.

“It’s perfect.”

"I also think this one is more suitable."

Rachel turned around, went back to the dressing room, looked at herself in the mirror, and said this.

Because tonight's cocktail party is private, and it's the kind of elite cocktail party where people socialize with their wives.

Therefore, those sexy, bizarre, and eye-catching dresses are unnecessary.

It's normal that Luke doesn't care about his clothes.

Because he earns the respect of others through his hard work and abilities.

But Rachel didn't want to go there and be seen as just a pretty face.

and……

She also really wanted to help Luke with his social interactions as Mrs. Luke.

This matter is beneficial to both Lu Ke and her, and there is no harm whatsoever.

Five p.m.

Malibu Beach.

A black Audi A8 was driving along the coastal highway. After traveling a distance along the somewhat winding road, a seaside manor that seemed to be nestled between the blue sea and sky suddenly came into view for Luke and Rachel, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

The entrance to the manor is a huge iron archway, inlaid with exquisite metal patterns and reliefs.

The security guard in the security room came out as the Audi A8 drove up.

Luke rolled down the car window and handed the invitation Rebecca had given him that morning to the security guard, who had placed it aside.

After glancing at the invitation and confirming that the person was a VIP attending the party that evening, the security guard handed the invitation back to Luke without looking at him, and then nodded to another colleague in the security room.

Ding!

Beneath the iron archway, two iron doors slowly opened inwards to both sides.

Luke restarted the vehicle, entered the archway, and quickly arrived at the parking lot of the manor's main building along the road lined with ancient olive and lemon trees.

Rachel spotted Rebecca immediately after they entered the parking lot. Rebecca, wearing a simple white pencil skirt and delicate high heels, walked out of the main building with a smile on her face.

"who is she?"

"Rebecca."

Luke reversed the car into the parking space, and after parking, he glanced at it and said, "Chief Louis's secretary, the full-time kind."

Rachel nodded.

Luke then got out of the car, buttoned up his suit jacket, and greeted Rebecca with a smile as she walked over from the main building entrance.

After greeting Luke, Rebecca's gaze immediately fell on Rachel, who was getting out of the passenger seat. She smiled and extended her hand, saying, "Hello, Ms. Valeries, welcome."

it has started.

Rachel took a deep breath, smiled, and reached out her hand, officially getting into the zone.

The first floor of the main building.

In the spacious and bright hall, the reception area on the right was already occupied by a number of people whose demeanor suggested they were big shots in Los Angeles.

Seated in the main seat was none other than the organizer of tonight's event, Director Louis.

Chief Louis, who was joking with the police chief, saw Luke and Rachel walking in from outside, and his eyes lit up. He quickly called out, "Luke, come here!"

Lu Ke looked in the direction of the sound.

Rachel, who was standing nearby, also looked over.

hiss!

They're all big shots.

Seeing this, Rebecca said to Rachel, "The dinner hasn't started yet. The men are all chatting here, while we women are on the beach behind the manor. Since this is your first time here, I'll take you there to meet them."

Rachel looked at Luke, seeking his opinion.

Luke smiled slightly and said to Rebecca, "Then I'll trouble you, Rebecca."

Rebecca laughed and said, "No trouble at all. We women are really looking forward to hearing the heroine from the 'Hero Saves the Beauty' story explain the rest of the hero and beauty's story to us face-to-face."

Done.

Rebecca led Rachel straight toward the corridor that led to the private beach with its fine sand and clear water.

Luke walked over to a group of men who were smoking expensive cigars and sipping equally expensive whiskey.

Director Louis stood up and proudly put his arm around Luke's shoulder, introducing the names and titles of the guests present one by one.

Personal instruction.

Director Louis acted as if he were Luke's political successor, which was noticed by the others present, who immediately began to make their own plans.

They have good intentions.

Lu Ke was also interested.

soon.

In about half an hour, with the help of Director Louis, Luke smoothly integrated into the small circle of high-end elites, which, although small in number, consisted of at least bureau chiefs.

Of course.

The integration here is not true integration.

In the adult world, especially in men's social circles, it's never something you can just easily integrate into.

Put it plainly.

Luke has only gained entry into this social circle because of Director Louis; whether he can build relationships with these people in the future depends entirely on Luke himself.

After all, the master can only lead you through the door; the rest is up to you to cultivate yourself.

However, male friendships can be both difficult and easy.

For the first half hour, Luke spoke very little and just listened. Through this half hour of analyzing the way the director, the mayor, the city councilors, and the state legislators spoke and the content of their speeches, he gained a general understanding of each of their personalities before gradually starting to speak.

The key word is:

Cater to their preferences.

result……

When the dinner started, Rachel and the state legislator's wife returned to the restaurant from the beach, chatting and laughing. They saw Luke with his arm around the state legislator, their relationship so close that the legislator was inviting Luke to play golf next Saturday.

“Dodge is a tough guy to deal with.” Mrs. Dodge, the wife of a state legislator, was also a little surprised when she saw this scene. She then said to Rachel next to her, “This is the first time I’ve ever seen Dodge take the initiative to invite someone to play golf with him.”

Rachel laughed and said, "Isn't that great, Bates? We can see each other again next week."

Mrs. Dodge nodded: "That's true. The better the men get along, the more often we can see each other. Come on, Rachel, take a seat."

Rachel smiled and nodded.

A waiter, whose affiliation was unknown but was definitely not an ordinary waiter, pulled out a chair after Rachel approached.

Rachel said thank you, and, holding up her dress, sat down next to Luke.

Luke glanced at Rachel.

He wasn't worried about whether Rachel had suffered a loss in the social gathering with ladies on the beach.

After all, the quality of the circle is what it is.

Although women are known for their talent for fighting, the women who become girlfriends, companions, or even wives of men here must have something special about them.

The theme of this dinner party was that Director Louis was returning to Sacramento, which is why it was held.

natural.

The main character is definitely Chief Louis.
