America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 111 Ikana Drunk (610 Subscribe)
The banquet ends at nine o'clock in the evening.

Such banquets generally don't last long.

If the guests themselves are interested, after the show is over.

You can choose to chat in private or find another occasion to chat.

Maybe we can chat, or have something that each other needs.

Then a cooperation can start here.

Abel, his biggest takeaway this evening was from John J. Brown.

I learned of the attention and favor of the Texas consortium.

The secondary gain is Ikana's attitude.

He always felt that after tonight.

Ikana's attitude towards herself is obviously much more intimate than the previous two times.

He has guesses why.

Maybe today is the third date, and with the previous two, the third relationship always improves.

The so-called first time is born and second time is familiar.

Or it could be this clever girl.

On the name and identity of John J. Brown.

He guessed that he had a "very close relationship" with the Texas consortium.

Apparently between a newly minted Wall Street tycoon and a big money group.

It is the latter that is more terrifying, more awe-inspiring, and at the same time more wanting to get closer.

Abel felt that maybe she had misunderstood that being close to him could be close to the Texas consortium.

In addition, it is also possible that it was at the banquet just now.

The appearance and initiative of Amanda Hearst brought about this change in her.

Just now, Amanda Hearst chatted with Abel not only when they were at the same table.

Instead, at the time of the buffet buffet later, he also came over to chat with Abel twice.

Once came with her mother, Anne Hirst.

This time it was okay, Amanda was only responsible for being beautiful and smiling alone, and didn't talk much.

At the same time, Ikana was also nearby, and 16-year-old Amanda chatted with 19-year-old Ikana.

Naturally, they also know each other, after all, they are both celebrities in the same circle in New York.

It seemed that they had a pleasant chat, and those who didn't know would probably think they were good friends.

The third time, when Ikana was going to the bathroom, Amanda slipped by again.

When Ikana came out, she saw Amanda Hearst blooming beautifully beside Abel, smiling very happily.

That kind of smile probably made Ikana feel very dazzling.

It could be these reasons, or it could be something else.

Before Ikana got into the car at the end of the game,

The relationship and distance with Abel,
It seems to be getting closer without knowing it.

At least at the banquet, she did not refuse Abel's physical contact many times.

Even at some point, she would take the initiative to get close to Abel.

She appeared drunk when she got into the car.

Under the dim light in the rear compartment, Ikana's face was rosy and slightly drunk, and the broken bangs on her forehead fluttered in the cold wind of the air conditioner.

Those flaming red lips are especially provocative to kiss Fangze.

In particular, she even had her eyes closed.

This kind of beauty with thick face is usually more attractive when drunk.

What is a wine beauty.

That's about it.

".Ikana, Ikana, are you drunk?"

Abel called softly.

After calling a few times, Ikana opened her narrow eyes and looked at Abel in a daze.

"Huh?" she murmured.

"Haha~" Abel smiled softly, "If you don't wake up, I will kiss you and send you to the hotel."

A shyness flashed across Ikana's face, and she whispered in a drunken voice, "You can't do this, Abel."

"Obviously I didn't do that." Abel shrugged, "But you have to tell me where you want me to send you. Otherwise, I can only send you to the hotel, or to my house. "

"Forehead"

Ikana sat up straight, stroked the thin bangs on her forehead, and then said:

"Okay. Abel, please ask your driver to drive to Wall Street 40."

"It's the Bank of Manhattan Building, right? Oh yes, it has a new name now, the Ted Lener Building." Abel said with a smile.

Ikana smiled and nodded in response.

The Bank of Manhattan Building, or the current Ted Lener Building, is a skyscraper located in New York City, USA, between Nassau Street and William Street in Manhattan, at 40 Wall Street.

The skyscraper was originally known as the Bank of Manhattan Building.

In 1995, Ikana's father, D. Ted Lerner, bought the building and renamed it to this day.

The building has a total of 70 floors. It was completed in 1930, and the construction period was only 11 months. It was the tallest building in the world at that time, and was later surpassed by the Chrysler Building.

It is currently the 20th tallest building in the United States.

This is a symbol of D. Ted Lerner's current strength and plutocratic status.

At the same time, the top floor of this building is still the home of D. Ted Lerner.

With an order, the driver Dexter took his place in the convoy.

The black convoy slowly drove into the crowded streets of Manhattan.

In the specially-made extended black Lincoln sedan, in the spacious and quiet rear compartment, there was a short silence.

Probably felt that the atmosphere was weird.

Abel spoke first, and he said, "How about continuing our previous topic, Ikana."

"The previous topic?" Ikana was stunned. "You mean to discuss Miss Amanda Hearst, what should I do to perform well in the university's business internship?"

This was the last topic of discussion before the two left.

Another participant is Amanda Hearst.

It happened to be Amanda Hearst's time, while Ikana went to the bathroom.

Come over and talk to Abel, then after Ikana comes out.

The topic of the three people talking together.

"Ha~ It's not." Abel looked at Ikana's expression, but couldn't see anything.

This smart woman is very good at hiding her emotions.

"I am not acquainted with Miss Hurst. The subject I want to talk about is the one before we entered the banquet."

"It's about YKM." Ikana said.

YKM is miss Ikana, which is the English abbreviation of Miss Ikana brand.

"Yes." Abel nodded, "Maybe if you need it, I can try to become a shareholder of YKM."

"Just before that, Ikana, I need you to convince me to become your shareholder."

When I heard what Abel said, Ikana had an obvious micro-expression of boosting her spirits.

"Okay." She smiled.

For the next half hour,

Miss D. Ikana Lerner,
Give full play to the theoretical knowledge she has learned in her three years of entrepreneurship or at Wharton Business School.

To Abel, state the next development route of YKM, and the rendering of a bright future.

".In short, it is obvious. Even if YKM has encountered a little setback now, these setbacks cannot defeat YKM."

"I have always believed that one day it can grow into the Gap of American women, and even the world's women!"

"In this way, its investors can also reap huge reputation and benefits!!"

Maybe it was partly drunk, or maybe I talked too much tonight.

By this time, Ikana's pleasant voice had already sounded a little hoarse.

She looked at Abel, "Then after listening to my business secrets. Dear Mr. Smith, what do you think?"

"Very good. But I need a more complete, written proposal."

Abel smiled: "Also, the Ted Lena building is here. Ikana, you're home."

Ikana turned her head and looked out of the window, only to find that the convoy had arrived outside the gate of the Ted Lena building.

"Huh~" Ikana exhaled lightly, she turned her head and smiled and said to Abel:

"Okay, no problem. Abel, I will prepare the planning book and have it sent to your company. Also thank you very much tonight, thank you for sending me back."

Abel gave an OK gesture.

Ikana started packing up and getting out of the car, mostly picking up the small bag she was carrying.

Abel saw that she drank some wine, and her movements were a little inflexible.

He shook his head, got out of the car early, and walked to Ikana's side.

After she drove the door out, he held her with one hand and covered the top of her head with the other to prevent her from hitting her head when she was drunk.

"Be careful, Ikana, don't hit your head, don't fall."

"Sorry. I'm very happy tonight, I drank a little too much." Ikana smiled at him beautifully, her face was ruddy and slightly drunk, her charm was amazing.

"I don't usually drink much," she said.

"Understood. How about I help you in?" Abel said.

"It could not be better."

Ikana smiled back.

Abel began to support her with a smile, and walked with her to the door of the Ted Lena building.

Not far away, Edward and several colleagues came out early.

They spread out their positions, occupying the sight of Abel from every corner of the street.

Guaranteed that even if someone shoots coldly behind his back at this time, unless the bullet turns around, it will not be able to hit Abel.

As for Abel, he felt that Ikana might be really drunk.

At the banquet just now, she drank a lot of red wine.

As we all know, red wine generally gets drunk at night.

But when it explodes, the stamina is also very powerful.

While walking towards the Ted Lena Building.

He could feel that most of Ikana's weight was on him.

Between the soft crimson silk evening dress and the sleeves of Abel's own suit
If you paste it directly, it must feel good.

he thought to himself.

Coupled with the smell of high-end red wine, and the smell of special perfume sprayed on Ikana.

Abel felt that at this moment, his hormones were about to be mobilized for her.

In a short while,
The two had already walked to the door of the Ted Lena building.

"Miss Ikana?" A woman's voice sounded.

Then Abel and Ikana,

Then I saw a 40-year-old woman wearing a hotel lobby manager costume rushing out of the gate.

It was Jessica, the Lobby Manager of the Tedlerner Hotel in the Tedlerner Building.

What Abel and Jessica didn't know was that the moment Jessica ran out.

In the depths of Ikana's eyes, a flash of disappointment and anger flashed.

Perhaps Ms. Jessica's career in the future may be turbulent.

"It's all right here. Abel, Jessica can send me up." Ikana exhaled a slightly drunken breath, smiled and said to Abel who was supporting her.

Abel shrugged and handed Ikana to the lobby manager of her hotel.

"Okay. I won't go in then, I need to go back and take a shower," he said.

"Okay. Goodbye, Abel, I had a great time tonight."

"Me too."

Abel waved at him, turned around with a smile, and walked towards his car.

On Ikana's side, Jessica, the lobby manager, was in a nearby building.

As soon as he entered the building, the lobby manager of the hotel felt lighter.

She looked up in surprise, and when she saw Miss Ikana who seemed to be very drunk just now, she suddenly relaxed.

"Okay. It's good to be here, Jessica," Ikana said.

"You look drunk, I think."

"I'm not drunk. That's good, Jessica. I'm fine, thank you."

Ikana was neither salty nor salty, and she changed from the slightly drunk state of the drunk girl in front of Abel.

She at this time.

Whether it's speaking or the expression on his face, there is a vigorous and resolute temperament.

It looks very much like her in YKM company.

"Okay. Jessica, it's none of your business here." A middle-aged man's voice appeared in front of the two of them.

The two ladies look forward,

One discovery is his boss, and the other discovery is his father.

It was D. Ted Lerner, a tycoon with average reputation in New York and "well-known" in the United States, who said to the lobby manager of his hotel: "Go and do your work, Jessica."

When the boss appeared, Jessica nodded in trepidation and left quickly.

The hotel lobby manager in his 40s always felt as if he had done something wrong when he left.

Otherwise, Miss Ikana just now, how could she be like this, she is not usually like this.

Jessica felt uneasy.

"Looks like he's had some wine." D. Ted Lerner looked at the child he was most satisfied with.

"A lot? Even you can get drunk like this. Did those guys force you to drink?"

D. Ted Lerner was curious.

He knew that his daughter had a good capacity for alcohol, and he couldn't drink her in terms of capacity alone.

Even many alcoholics may not be able to drink her.

It would be very difficult for anyone to get Ikana drunk unless they were mobbed at the wine table.

"No, no one made me drink. Also, papa, I'm not drunk."

Once Ikana changed her drunken state in front of Abel, she didn't look as aggressive as she was in front of Jessica.

She smiled and said to D. Ted Lerner like a good baby, "I was a little drunk, but I'm not drunk."

D. Ted Lerner nodded, and then he said, "Go over there and talk, my daughter."

Looking at the direction of his father's finger, it was a corner of the hotel lobby with several rows of sofas.

There were even a few hotel guests on the other side of the sofa.

"Okay," Ikana said.

The father and daughter arrived at a corner of the hotel lobby under the watchful eye of D. Ted Lerner's personal assistant.

"Tell me, how was the harvest tonight?" After sitting down, D. Ted Lerner changed his exaggerated performance in front of outsiders.

His voice is gentle, like a father and a calm businessman:
"I heard that the initiator of this banquet was an unknown Texan. But the guys who co-organized it were people like Murdoch. Presumably there must be a lot of participants in the banquet, and they all have high status, right? "

Ikana nodded first, then shook her head slightly.

Then this D. Ted Lerner was the most satisfied, and when she was a child, she often lamented that she was not the son's daughter and said:

"Several media tycoons are indeed syndicates."

"But father, let me make it clear that the main initiator, the Texan, is not some unknown guy."

"Oh? What do you mean?" D. Ted Lerner raised his characteristic eyebrows.

"John J. Brown, that's the Texan's name." Ikana said, "Dad, does that name remind you of anything?"

"John J. Brown"

D. Ted Lerner frowned, "The first name is very common. But the last name, I seem to have heard it somewhere."

Ikana didn't keep it secret, she said directly:

"Dad, this man is the general manager of the Texas Commercial Bank branch in New York.

In fact, this person is likely to be one of the representatives of the Texas Consortium in New York. "

"The Texas Consortium?" D. Ted Lerner asked in surprise.

"That's right," Ikana said.

Next, Ikana told her father what she had seen and heard at the banquet.

And most likely, the one she cared about the most.

Abel's involvement with Texas consortium John J. Brown.

Of course, she didn't tell the whole story.

First, Ikana felt that it was unnecessary.

The second is that D. Ted Lerner is not the only child of hers, and she feels that she also needs to plan for herself.

After hearing what his daughter told, D. Ted Lerner was surprised and a little regretful.

It's a pity that I didn't get an invitation and couldn't participate in the event tonight.

"It seems that this kid has more background than on the surface. Or his talent has attracted the attention of the big consortium." D. Ted Lerner said.

Ikana nodded, indicating that her father was right.

"Okay." D. Ted Lerner said gently, "You look tired, Ikana. Go back and have a rest."

"Okay. I think I really want to take a break. Father, then I will go up first."

"Ah."

Ikana just got up, took her small bag, and walked to a corner of the lobby of the building.

There is a private elevator there, which goes directly to the top floor, which belongs exclusively to the D. Ted Lerner family's residence.

Just before taking two steps, Ikana heard her father's voice behind her.

"Ikana."

She stood still, turned around, and looked at her father puzzled.

Then she saw his iconic smile on her father's face, and saw her father give her a thumbs up.

"Just now outside, you performed very well."

"But Jessica didn't mean it, so don't hold grudges against her."

"She's just trying to impress you."

Ikana bit her lip, some of her lipstick stained her white teeth.

If Abel were here,
Will probably want to taste it.

"Okay. Father."

she says.
