Chapter 111 Ikana is drunk (610 begging for subscription)
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 ends.
You can choose to chat in private, or find another place to chat.
Maybe we can chat, or we have something we need.
Then a cooperation can start here.
Abel's biggest takeaway this evening was from John J. Brown.
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, with the previous two, the third relationship always improves.
The so-called first time is born and second time is familiar.
It could also be this smart girl.
On the name and identity of John J. Brown.
guessed that he had a "very close relationship" with the Texas consortium.
Obviously between a newly rising Wall Street tycoon and a big money group.
The latter is more terrifying, more awe-inspiring, and at the same time makes people want to get closer.
Abel felt that maybe she had misunderstood that being close to him might be close to the Texas consortium.
Also, it may be 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, he also came over to chat with Abel twice during the buffet buffet later.
Once with her mother, Anne Hirst.
It's okay this time, Amanda is only responsible for being beautiful and smiling alone, and doesn't talk much.
At the same time, Ikana was also nearby, and sixteen-year-old Amanda chatted with 19-year-old Ikana.
They also know each other naturally, after all, they are both celebrities in the same circle in New York.
It seemed that they had a pleasant chat, and people who didn't know would probably think they were good friends.
The third time, when Ikana was going to the bathroom, Amanda slipped in 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 may be these reasons, or it may be other reasons.
Before Ikana got into the car at the end of the scene,
and Abel's relationship and distance,
seems to be getting closer without knowing it.
At least at the banquet, many times she has not refused Abel's physical contact.
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.
Especially, she even had her eyes closed.
This kind of beauty with thick face is usually more attractive when drunk.
What is a wine beauty.
Probably this is it.
".Ikana, Ikana, are you drunk?"
Abel called softly.
After calling a few times, Ikana opened her tiny 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."
Ikana's face flashed a shyness, 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 fine 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 now has a new name, the Ted Lena 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. It is located between Nassau Street and William Street in Manhattan, and its address is 40 Wall Street (40 Wall Street).
This skyscraper was originally known as the Bank of Manhattan Tower.
In 1995, Ikana's father, D. Ted Lerner, bought the building and renamed it to this day.
This 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.
Currently, it is the 20th tallest building in the United States.
This is a symbol of D. Ted Lerner's current strength and rich status.
At the same time, the top floor of this building is also the home of D. Ted Lerner.
After giving an order, the driver Dexter took his place in the convoy.
The black convoy slowly drove into the crowded streets of Manhattan.
The specially-made extended black Lincoln sedan fell into a short silence in the spacious and quiet rear compartment.
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 startled, "Are you talking about Miss Amanda Hearst, what should I do to perform well in the university's business internship?"
This was the last topic they discussed before they left.
Another participant is Amanda Hearst.
It happened to be Amanda Hearst, and Ikana was going to the bathroom.
Come over and talk to Abel, and then after Ikana comes out.
Three people talk together.
"Ha~ No." Abel looked at Ikana's expression, but couldn't see anything.
This smart woman is very good at hiding her emotions.
"I am not familiar with Miss Hurst. The topic I want to talk about is the topic before we entered the banquet."
"It's about YKM." Ikana said.
YKM is miss Ikana, which is the English abbreviation of the brand Miss Ikana.
"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 Abel heard this, Ikana had an obvious micro-expression that boosted her spirits.
"Okay." She smiled.
The next half hour,
is Miss D. Ikana Lerner,
Using the theoretical knowledge she learned in the three years of entrepreneurship or at Wharton Business School.
To Abel, state the next development route of YKM, as well as 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 women of the world!”
"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 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 plan."
Abel smiled: "Also, the Ted Lena building is here. Ikana, you're home."
Ikana turned her head to look out the window, and sure enough, she found 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 plan 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 to pack up and get out of the car, mainly picking up the small bag she was carrying.
Abel saw that she drank some wine, and her movements were a little less flexible.
He shook his head, got out of the car early, and walked to Ikana's side.
After she came out of the car door, 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 was very happy tonight, and I drank a little too much." Ikana showed him a beautiful smile, 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 responded with a smile.
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 in every corner of the street.
Guarantee 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.
Across the soft crimson silk evening gown and the sleeves of Abel's own suit
If you paste it directly, it must feel good.
he thought to himself.
Plus 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 starting to be mobilized for her.
After a while,
Two people have already walked to the front of the Ted Lena building.
"Miss Ikana?" A woman's voice sounded.
Then Abel and Ikana,
Then I saw a forty-year-old woman in the hotel lobby manager's attire rushing out of the gate.
is Jessica, Lobby Manager of the Ted Lena Hotel in the Ted Lena Building.
What Abel and Jessica didn't know was that the moment Jessica ran out.
In the depths of Ikana's eyes, a hint of disappointment and anger flashed.
Perhaps Ms. Jessica's future career may be in turmoil.
"It's all right here. Abel, Jessica can send me up." Ikana exhaled a slightly drunk 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.
Ikana's side was occupied by the lobby manager, Jessica, 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 saw Miss Ikana who seemed to be very drunk just now, and suddenly relaxed.
"Okay. We'll be here, Jessica," Ikana said.
"You look drunk, I think."
"I'm not drunk. Jessica, that's fine. I'm fine, thank you."
Ikana is neither salty nor salty, and she changed from the slightly drunk state of a drunk girl in front of Abel.
She at this time.
Whether it's speaking or the expression on his face, there is a 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 my boss, and the other discovery is my father.
It was D. Ted Lerner, a tycoon with average reputation in New York and "famous" in the United States, who said to the lobby manager of his hotel: "Go and do your work, Jessica."
The boss appeared, Jessica nodded in trepidation, and left quickly.
The hotel lobby manager in his forties 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 was in a nervous mood.
"Looks like he's had a drink." 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 Curious.
He knew that his daughter had a good drinking capacity, and he couldn't drink her in terms of drinking capacity alone.
Even many alcoholics may not be able to drink her.
Unless they are mobbed and attacked at the wine table, it will be difficult for anyone to get Ikana drunk.
"No, no one made me drink. Also, papa, I'm not drunk."
Even after Ikana changed her slightly drunken state in front of Abel, she didn't look as aggressive as she was in front of Jessica.
She smiled, like a good baby, and said to D. Ted Lerner: "I drank a little, but I'm not drunk."
D Ted Lerner nodded, and then he said, "Go over there and have a chat, my daughter."
Looking at the direction of the father's finger, it is a corner of the hotel lobby with several rows of sofas.
There are even a few hotel guests on the sofa.
"Good." 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 felt sorry that she was not the son's daughter and said:
"Several media tycoons are indeed syndicates."
"But father, I want to 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 name of that Texan." 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 is not a secret, she said directly:
"Dad, this man is the general manager of the Texas Commercial Bank branch in New York.
Actually, 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.
"No mistake," Ikana said.
Next, Ikana told her father what she had seen and heard at the banquet.
And the most likely one, which is also the one she cares about the most.
Abel's involvement with Texas consortium John J. Brown.
Of course, she didn't tell the whole story.
Firstly, Ikana felt that it was unnecessary.
Secondly, D. Ted Lerner is not the only child of hers, and she feels that she also needs to plan for herself.
After listening to what his daughter told, D. Ted Lerner was surprised and a little bit regretful.
It's a pity that I didn't get an invitation and didn't get to 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 need to take a break. Father, then I will go up first."
"Ok."
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 can go directly to the top floor, which belongs to the residence of the D. Ted Lerner family.
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 signature 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,
Probably want to taste it.
"Okay. Father."
she says.
