Chapter 0571: The Gandejia Family
As a second-year student, the professor's correction has changed from 'pass' and 'fail' to a grading system.
Li Zitao was a mess in the first half of the semester, and his long-term leave of absence left a 'deep' impression on the professor, so his homework was more standard than others.
'Factors influencing the value of intangible assets,' the professor assigns a new topic at the beginning of the semester, and it is a part of the paper that he has not learned.
Completely blind to his own understanding, Li Zitao was not sure, but fortunately he had Rocky's notes and the library to help.
Seeing Mary away, Li Zitao put his mind on the school, and by the way, let people prepare for tonight's meeting.
The location is arranged at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, which is both classy and will not be in danger of being discovered by the paparazzi.
After staying in the library until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Zitao was packing up his things and walking out, when he saw Morena walking through the door.
"Hi. Li Zitao said hello.
"Hey, are you leaving?" asked Morena as he held the book.
"Well, I made an appointment with someone for dinner, is there anything wrong?" asked Li Zitao.
"It's okay... Remember to have time to come to the party, we have a new member. Morina smiled.
"Okay, then I'll go first. Waving goodbye, Li Zitao returned to the dormitory, no one left, put the book on the bedside and left.
"Joey. Arriving at the girls' dormitory, Joey was standing in the doorway.
The car stopped and Joey sat in the passenger seat, the car drove back towards the school gate, looked at the car and said, "It seems that you can't sit down?"
"Will it be?" Li Zitao blinked, and when the car drove to the door of Joey's house, he found five large black boxes parked on the side of the road.
There was no other color from top to bottom, and even the windows were so dark that you couldn't see through.
The whole body looks like a beast, full of power and impact.
"Aegis H1, currently only for the military, let's go pick them up together!" Li Zitao took her hand and walked towards the wooden house on the side of the road.
When the convoy appeared, Gandejia's family kept observing in the house.
When Li Zitao and Joey walked hand in hand, there was a burst of cheers and reprimands in the room, and Daisy rushed out first, followed by a boy with a young face.
"Hello, I'm Charlie. Li Zitao said to the two with a smile, looking up at the Gan Dejia couple who came out of the house.
"I already know, take me to see the cars, they're miserable. Daisy said, taking his arm by the hand.
"Mr. Gandejia, Madam, it is a pleasure to meet you. Li Zitao first greeted Gan Dejia and his wife, and then the group got into the car.
Daisy and her brother sat in one, and Li Zitao, Joey and Gan Dejia sat in one.
The atmosphere in the car was fine, although it was a little weird, but it was all about ordinary life and asking him about his school.
After the convoy arrived at the hotel and went directly to the building, the manager of the restaurant was waiting at the door, and when he saw Li Zitao, he immediately raised a smile: "Mr. Charlie, everything is ready." β
"Thank you, Bale. Li Zitao smiled and nodded, and led everyone inward.
The whole dining room was empty, and all the other tables and chairs were removed, except for a round table in the middle, and a small band next to it.
This is not only to represent his attention, nor is it that Li Zitao wants to show off his wealth, but more because he is selfish and doesn't want to be discovered.
Mary made a lot of concessions in Garbo's affairs, and the two knew it, so he didn't want to cause trouble for his wife anymore.
It's quite a bastard's idea, and while talking about taking care of his wife's feelings, he keeps hooking up with other women.
So Li Zitao never thinks he is a good man, he is just a silk, scumbag.
The possessiveness of women in the bottom of my heart is still strong, but it is no longer so obvious, more introverted, or hypocritical.
He could make up for it in other ways, but he couldn't do it if he wanted to keep a woman to his heart, at least not yet.
"Maybe it's a day when you get tired of everything, but not now. Li Zitao politely invited everyone to take a seat, pulled out a chair for Joey and took her coat.
These movements are not pretended or unnatural in his actions, and the idea of being superior to others has never existed in Li Zitao's life.
After all, his thinking is not something that can be changed in a while, in his previous life, he was in contact with equality between men and women, and even women became more and more powerful.
To be realistic, at that time, he didn't have a chance to pull a chair for a woman.
"It's time to serve. Handing over the coat to the attendant beside him, Li Zitao sat next to Joey.
The performance from beginning to end, even the Gandejia couple were satisfied from the bottom of their hearts.
But when they thought that he was married and was still the father of two children, and the newspapers were uproaring about the issue of biological fatherhood, which may have been done by him, the feelings of the two became complicated.
"Charlie, wouldn't this be too extravagant?" Seeing that the atmosphere quieted down after he took his seat, Joey took the lead in breaking the embarrassment.
"No, it's like my home, it's the property of the Astor family, Jonathan and I... It's that Astor IV is a very good friend. β
For this meeting, Li Zitao made a special trip to prepare two bottles of Century Lafite, and the noble rot wine of ChΓ’teau Digin is not suitable for today's dishes.
Compared with Lafite, Li Zitao prefers the complex fragrance and rich layers of Margaux, but unfortunately it is no longer available on the market.
"Ahem, let's celebrate today's gathering, and thank you Charlie for your hospitality. Gan Dejia coughed lightly and raised the crystal cup, he needed to master the topic and rhythm.
"It's an honor, cheers. Li Zitao said with a smile.
The aperitif is an ice wine, somewhat sour, with appetizing properties.
"Charlie, as far as I know, you're married. Before the glass was lowered, Ergandega got straight to the point.
Joey lowered his head in embarrassment, Daisy pouted disdainfully, and his adult brother, Etoga Ganderga, looked at him with discontented eyes.
"Yes. Li Zitao paused, and then said, "But other than that, I believe I can give her everything." β
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Li Zitao continued, "I'm not just talking about money, but also about the dreams and life she wants to pursue. β
"She's got that. Earl said with a grim face.
Looking at Joey, who was a little nervous, Li Zitao took her hand from under the table, and then smiled, "No, what I said is what she really wants." β
"Joey loves to draw, as far as I know, she has tutored outside of class, mentoring children who love to draw, and when she graduates, she wants to study art. β
Hearing what he said, the family turned their eyes to Joey, only to see that she was looking up at Li Zitao with a surprised face at the moment, not understanding how he knew.
It's actually very simple, just find someone to ask at her former school, and Joey made a good impression on the teacher, talking about her idea of wanting to apply for art.
"Joey, we let you choose. Mrs. Gandejia said as she looked at her daughter softly.
"Yes, I know Mother, it's my choice. Joey was a little incoherent as he grabbed his drink and took a big sip.
