crackling

Firecrackers covering the streets were lit, and the acrid smoke filled the air amidst the loud music of gongs and drums. Li Zitao took little Norma and stood on the stage with a smile, accepting the reporters and spotlights.

Little Norma seemed a little nervous, her little face kept looking up at Li Zitao, and her hands holding him were covered in sweat.

Only when the big boy next to her lowered his head and gave her a reassuring smile, did the hesitation in little Norma's eyes disappear again, and a beautiful smile appeared on her little face.

"Mr. Li, may I ask why you chose to get involved in the fast food industry and what do you think of the future of the fast food industry."

"Because everyone needs to eat. There is an old saying in China, food, clothing, housing and transportation. These are the four indispensable industries since the beginning of civilization. I am very optimistic about its future, just like I am optimistic about the future of the American Federation."

"Mr. Li, do you have anything to say about the current predicament that the United States is facing?"

"The United States is a great country. It is made up of elites from different countries and different nationalities. I have full confidence in it."

"Mr. Li, the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce announced last month that the 20 material distribution points funded by you will continue until the day the disaster ends. Is this true?"

"certainly."

"Mr. Li, there are a lot of speculations about the source of your wealth. Is there anything you want to say?"

"Everything I did was within the scope of the law. Whether to answer or not is every citizen's freedom, and it is also my freedom."

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li..."

After briefly answering a few questions, Li Zitao took little Norma back to Building A of the Duplex Building, which is currently the temporary headquarters of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce.

Regarding the investment and construction of the Blue and White Building, the design plan is still under bidding. This involves an investment of tens of millions of dollars, and it is not something that can be decided with a slap on the butt.

"Do you feel okay?" Li Zitao let go of little Norma's sweaty hands and rubbed her head with a smile.

"It feels...very good." Norma said with bright eyes.

"It seems that you were born to be on the stage. Maybe you will become a star in the future, a big star!" Li Zitao was a little emotional. He didn't know that in his hands, the sexy beauty who has been dead for half a century and has made countless men worried about him will still be there.

Will never appear in this world again.

"Can I?" Little Norma's eyes brightened.

Li Zitao still doesn't understand that what the environment creates is only the shell, but what makes a person successful will ultimately be her incomparable soul.

"Of course, Norma, as I said, you can choose your own life." Li Zitao showed great patience.

Although he still doesn't know whether Norma will turn into Marilyn, he knows that under his care, she will not fade away in her most beautiful time.

"Well, I will work hard." Norma raised her fist and looked at him seriously.

In little Norma's heart, the man in front of her has become an irreplaceable existence, filling her heart like a warm stream.

"Charlie, what you wish for is my dream." Norma planted a seedling in her young heart, and it would one day grow into a giant tree.

"Charlie, damn bastard, you look so handsome today." Lawrence rushed forward, gave him a hard fist, then hugged him and laughed heartily.

"Do you want me to punch you too, okay?" Li Zitao raised his eyebrows and threatened.

"Forget it, I can't bear your fists." Lawrence raised his hands in surrender. He had seen Li Zitao's abnormal strength with his own eyes.

"If I give this monster a punch, my heart will probably break into powder." Lawrence thought shudderingly.

"Introducing you to a new friend, Norma." Li Zitao pulled little Norma over, pointed at Lawrence and said, "His name is Lawrence. He is a bastard, but a reliable bastard."

"Hey, little angel, you are so cute." Lawrence took out a small gift box, squatted down and smiled: "This is my gift to you, little Norma."

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Lawrence." Norma was still a little resistant to strangers. Even if Lawrence was friendly enough, her eyes were still full of defensiveness.

If it weren't for the encouragement from Li Zitao's eyes, she wouldn't even have the courage to take the gift box. Her young heart would have suffered too much damage.

"Let me see what it is." Li Zitao took the gift box from Norma unceremoniously. When he opened it, he found a beautiful gemstone necklace. The ruby ​​on the front charmed Norma.

"It seems that you are very attentive, Lawrence." Li Zitao smiled with satisfaction, squatted down and untied the necklace: "Little princess, am I honored to wear it for you personally?"

"Yeah." Norma nodded excitedly.

"It's so beautiful." Little Norma touched the ruby ​​around her neck with excitement on her face.

"Women are born to pursue gems. This sentence is absolutely correct." Li Zitao spread his hands innocently, and Lawrence laughed even more.

"Okay, let's go find the king, he is there." He rubbed Norma's little head, this girl was almost confused by the ruby.

"What a lovely little angel, Charlie, are you going to adopt her?" Lawrence asked curiously as he watched Norma run towards Wang Dagou's back.

"No, it's boarding. Do you understand boarding?" Li Zitao showed a little hesitation.

"Hey, man, don't be so excited!" Lawrence looked at him inexplicably, suddenly seemed to understand something, looked at him and whispered, "You won't have any bad thoughts about her! Oh, my God

Now, man, keep your head clear, it will ruin your reputation, there are a lot of women in this world, no..."

"Go away, I'm not a fucking pervert." Li Zitao raised his foot and kicked him. In the end, considering Lawrence's pitiful little body, he still let him go.

He admitted that from deep down, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn were like obsessions from previous lives, deeply embedded in his soul.

It is precisely because in his time, these two peerless beauties no longer exist, they are perfect lovers who only exist in words and photos, that urgent desire is so strong.

But this doesn't mean that he would attack a little girl. Just thinking about such a perverted thought makes people sick.

What he wanted was the charming and sexy beauty, not the little girl not far away who hadn't grown big yet.

This was the reason why he was so entangled that he even decided to send Norma back to her original growth path, not only because it would change Marilyn's fate.

Although he insisted that she call him "Charlie", who knows if this girl who was raised by him would still be able to have a romantic relationship with him after they had been together for more than ten years.

Whenever he thought about this, he felt a sense of evil. If he hadn't known about the misery that Norma was about to encounter, he would have sent Norma away without hesitation.

"I can feel that you have complicated feelings towards her. Some clubs also have perverted games, but listen to me, those are not suitable for you."

Lawrence said it very seriously, because he knew that sometimes people would do many unreasonable and crazy things once they fall into some strange emotions.

"I told you, I'm not a pervert." Li Zitao said angrily.

"That's best, the party has started, come on!" Lawrence put his arm around his shoulders and walked towards the hall with a cheerful smile.

"Hi, Charlie." Jevich came towards him with a well-dressed female companion, and this female companion Li Zitao had also met before.

"Yevich." After casually greeting Yevich, Li Zitao turned his eyes to the woman next to him and smiled: "Ms. Katie, we meet again, you are so beautiful tonight."

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Li." Katie said on her knees.

"Come here, let's have a drink." Withdrawing the arm held by Katie, the two walked aside. Ms. Katie did not follow her, but after glancing around, she joined the group of ladies not far away.

"It seems that Ms. Katie's charm is unstoppable." Li Zitao took a glass of gin from the waiter's tray and looked at him funny.

"In some ways, she really brought me happiness that I had never had before." Yevich did not shy away from this issue.

It should be said that in the current United States, no man will shy away from such issues. Women's favor and mistress are another battlefield worthy of showing off for men.

Ever since he got together with Ms. Katie, Jevich discovered that she had incomparable flexibility and a singing voice that could 'swallow' giant pillars, which made him deeply fascinated.

Especially when he saw that her dignified, luxurious, and unattainable temperament on the outside turned into humble surrender in private, Jevich was greatly satisfied in his heart.

"Do you need any help?" Li Zitao knew these politicians very well. The information they sent last time was not free. Now it's time to 'pay'.

"A little trouble." Jevich smiled nonchalantly: "You know, Charlie, my dates with Katie are always a little inconvenient."

"Okay, I understand." Li Zitao drank the liquid in the glass in one gulp and said boldly: "Tomorrow I will ask the secretary to deliver the key to the top suite in the central apartment."

Recently, think tanks have been acquiring some apartments in prime locations. Although they are not exaggerating to the point of buying one building after another, there are so many that Li Zitao cannot count.

There is no way, the apartments at this time are really too cheap, and now everywhere is going bankrupt. The apartment in my hand is still a high-quality one selected from many sources.

For Li Zitao, he doesn't care about a house at all. How can friendship be measured by money? They are all precious 'friends.'

"I have to say, Charlie, being with you always makes people feel happy." Jevich raised his glass in salute.

"Of course, I am a trustworthy friend." Li Zitao smiled like a little fox.

Li Zitao did not invite William Dever to this opening. Instead, he invited Jevich and Grant. Even the invitation letter he wanted to send to him on the 22nd was rejected by him.

Our great mayor has just taken office and is busy building cliques in Washington, visiting many senators and new governors, and winning political allies for himself.

It seems that his short-term luck made him a little dizzy, and he had some overestimating thoughts, but these had nothing to do with Li Zitao.

Since the last bad breakup, William began to keep a distance from him. Except for a phone call when he was shot, they never contacted him again.

However, Li Zitao did not intend to make him an enemy, and Paul's "living donations" continued, with a lot of money.

The middle school age where he was either a friend or an enemy was long gone for him.
