Darkwalker of the Sky World
Chapter 323: Curiosity, sympathy
What Zhou Zhen is looking forward to most for this night's guests is not Bessie, but a guy named Michael Corleone.
This short, unsmiling guy is the ruler of the underground world in New York.
The will even wanted to enter the world of "The Godfather" and swallow the will of that world.
But this is the world of "Taxi Driver", "The Godfather" only has a movie plot, not the branch world that focuses on it.
After watching the Godfather's trilogy, Zhou Zhen's biggest doubt is that the third part is separated from the previous two, which leads to the ambiguity of Michael's age.
The first and second parts both said that Michael was born in 20 years, so he should be 55 years old in 1975, and he is indeed at this age now.
But the third film was filmed in 1991, but it was filmed in 1979, and it was said that Michael was over 70.
In fact, if it is based on the filming time, it is indeed over seventy years old. If it is 79 years old, it is nonsense to say seventy.
Michael only graduated from university in the 1940s. How could he be over 70 in the 1970s?
His father Vito fled to the United States in 2000 and was only ten years old.
He is still the youngest son, and it is most reasonable to be born when his father is thirty years old.
"Hello, Travis."
Seeing Michael's outstretched hand, Zhou Zhen smiled and gave him an intimate face-up ceremony.
Michael left in the cold and passively accepted Zhou Zhen's intimacy. "Michael, we are from the same country."
Barry laughed at this scene. "Michael, Travis is the third generation most valued by our family. He is also of Italian origin. He often mentions you when we chat, thinking that you are the pride of Italians."
This is nonsense, Zhou Zhen never talked about these things with him. And Michael, the godfather, is actually a far cry from the status of the Ewing family. How can a family that secretly control this country be regarded as a gang?
If he hadn't spent a lot of money to support Palantin, Barry would not have added his name to the guest list.
Michael smiled, with a gentler attitude. "Hello Travis, I hope we have time to talk after dinner."
"Of course."
After he was led by the butler to a group of local businessmen, Barry said: "Travis, you don't have to be so close to him, and our family is not suitable for being too close to people like him."
Zhou Zhen smiled and said: "Don't forget, you added him to the guest list."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and both understood that the other was just talking to people and talking nonsense to people.
Zhou Zhen never thought of going to the underworld since entering this world, because the underworld has not changed his mentality much.
Travis was a degenerate man without a goal, and going to the underworld did not help his mentality change.
He wanted to gain a foothold in New York by fame and fortune, and then become Palantine's gold master and help him ascend to the throne of president.
But I didn't expect that because of the relationship with the Ewing family, the road was very easy.
Today, Zhou Zhen is so active in helping Palantine, not because he may be a good president, and he only knows the presidential candidate in this world.
Now, he has stood at the apex of the pyramid, surrounded by two equally charming women with different styles.
Relying on investment to make a lot of profits, and reaping fame and fortune by writing novels, he is now a world away from the original taxi driver.
Seeing Bessie walking in with another woman, Zhou Zhen and Barry nodded, and then greeted them.
"Why is she here?" Barry murmured in his heart, turning his head to ask the butler. "I heard that Travis spent more than half an hour in the study with her last night?"
"Travis and Miss Deborah apparently regarded her as a new prey. Today it was the young lady who called Palantine and asked for her information."
Barry frowned and asked, "There is still no real husband and wife between them?"
The butler hesitated and said, "They seem to enjoy the current state of treating Jenny as a mutual girlfriend."
"It's really a headache. They must be married. It's better to have a child as soon as possible." He hoped to glance at Bert who was talking with several tycoons and Palantine. "You can prescribe medicine when necessary. I'll be responsible for Burt's side."
"clear."
"But this can only be aimed at Miss. Travis is the most terrifying person I have ever met. I am afraid that any tactics will have no effect on him."
"Why do you say that? Is there anything I don't know?"
The butler who was nearly 60 years old hesitated and said, "It's just a feeling. The Travis we saw was just what he wanted us to see.
Look at his every step, always walk the same distance. His expression can be changed freely, and his movements have never been superfluous.
Every time he eats, his appetite is almost the same. I have tried many times, and his weight is almost exactly the same every time he eats.
What he did in Dallas, do you think he can do it alone? Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, the long time he enjoys with Jane is enough to make any man feel inferior.
Barry, Travis is the treasure of our Ewing family. Don't let him feel offended at any time. This is our greatest sincerity. "
The housekeeper watched Barry grow up, and his respect for this elder is second only to his father, knowing that his ability is more than just a housekeeper.
After listening to him, Barry said: "I always trust your choice and do what you say. Since he killed almost the entire Barn family by himself and returned unscathed, I never thought of offending him. "
The butler nodded. "He wants freedom, what he wants, we can all be satisfied, sincerity is the closest bond between us."
They thought that Zhou Zhen could not hear them, but Zhou Zhen could hear everyone's conversation here as long as he was willing.
Zhou Zhen, who took Bessie upstairs, listened to their conversation, and smiled to Bessie with her expression unchanged: "Although today's party seems to be a lot more formal than yesterday, there is less sincerity among people. More hypocrisy."
"This world is hypocritical, and sincerely paying, it will often only be beaten to bloodshed."
"I thought you would be cynical and keep a positive, sincere heart to face the world."
"In the face of a hypocritical world, we must have a cloak of hypocrisy. But this does not prevent us from remaining sincere, beautiful, and hopeful in our hearts."
"Have you read my manuscript?"
"Your three novels, this is my favorite one."
The second floor became the world of the ladies, Zhou Zhen received a lot of attention when he came up, and many of his eyes were full of curiosity.
A handsome and strong young man is a gem in the eyes of these mature women.
Zhou Zhen was also a little uncomfortable under such wolf-like gaze, and beckoned to Deborah. "Please be casual, don't feel constrained. If you are not used to it, you can go to my study on the third floor to hide."
"I will……"
Deborah walked over and took Bessie's hand intimately. "Bessie, you are really dressed up today. Come, let me introduce you to some congressmen's wives. If you want to find a job in the White House or Capitol Hill in the future, it is very easy."
Bessie is not used to being so close to a woman, especially the other party is still a lace edge.
But there was no room for rejection at this time, she followed Deborah into the crowd obediently.
Today's banquet, Zhou Zhen kept a very low-key, let Barry host it.
He knows big people in New York or elsewhere, and decades of friendship can make him joke indifferently to bring him closer.
This kind of intimacy, no matter how powerful Zhou Zhen is, can't match it.
When the formal banquet came, he was mainly in charge of finance and local guests in New York, while Burt was mainly in charge of the oil industry and the big figures in Congress. The division of labor between the two was very clear.
Zhou Zhen and Deborah are mainly responsible for entertaining young people, but there are not many young guests today, so the task is relatively easy.
The busiest one is of course Palantine. He, the presidential candidate, has long sleeves and witty talks and laughs with people from all walks of life, and he appears contented.
Bessie's seat was arranged directly opposite Zhou Zhen. Seeing the two girls on his left and right were flirting with each other, she suddenly felt that Zhou Zhen was still so lonely even in this lively banquet hall.
At this moment, she felt sorry for him...
Looking at him with a strong face and laughter (brain supplement), it seems that Travis is the real Travis only if he eats peacefully at intervals.
Zhou Zhen used his master-level acting skills to play a proud but lonely man.
This feeling made Bessie's mother love overflowing, and her eyes became softer and gentler when she looked at Zhou Zhen, but she didn't know it yet.
At the beginning of the dance, Bessie noticed that he and Deborah led the guests to dance as if they were dealing with errands, but after that, she never saw Zhou Zhen again.
At this moment, she didn't want to dance anymore.
However, she has been invited by several guests and danced three dances before she got away.
Then, she returned to the second floor and to the third floor.
Coming to the outside of Zhou Zhen's study, she heard the voice of someone talking.
One is Zhou Zhen's young voice, and the other is hoarse and vague.
She hesitated for a moment, staring at the side of the stairs, and listening to her silently by sticking to the door.
Inside the study are Zhou Zhen and Michael. The two of them have already contacted each other. At this time, Zhou Zhen was talking to him about his experience of returning to his hometown in Italy.
Feeling Bessie at the door, Zhou Zhen talked about the death of his parents, and deliberately added that he did not find family affection in Italy.
Although there are still a few distant relatives, but because of lack of contact, I can't find the feeling of my heart's hometown.
In this world, he seems to be alone.
Bessie at the door sympathizes with him even more. In this world, he is the only one left, but now he doesn't even have love.
She took a deep breath and left the door of the study, having made up her mind.
Since he has no one to love, let yourself love him.
