Chapter 1076: Playing tennis?
The Walton family dinner is quite respectful among the top families in the United States. Although they gather three times a year, which makes those top families speechless, it is inevitable that they will send someone to come together as long as they get together.??
The Walton family is famously low-key. It doesn't matter whether the big guys come or not. They can send a message. They don't value face or something too much. But even so, the Walton family dinner is a party in the whole of the United States and even the entire Western world. Everyone has sharpened their heads and wants to drill into it.
But as I said just now, the Walton family is very low-key, so unless it is a guest invited by the family members, other people who rely on relationships cannot get in.
Americans, to be precise, Westerners like to gather because this is a way to connect with each other.
In addition to kneeling down and licking the Walton family, such gatherings are also opportunities for them to connect with each other and find partners. Some celebrities, whether they are in the entertainment industry, or in the cultural and sports industry, will find opportunities to come.
After all, there are not many opportunities to get involved with such a wealthy person.
Since they are here to make friends, it is impossible for them to come over by time. They just come to attend a one- or two-hour dinner and then leave. This way they will meet a lot of people, so there will be many people who will come early.
Generally speaking, the lower the status and the more people they want to know more people, the sooner they will come.
Of course, it’s not like coming here in the morning, but after lunch, someone will be coming here at two or three o’clock in the afternoon.
This is not the first time the Walton family holds such a banquet, so they have naturally prepared for it. In addition to the main banquet, there are also several banquet halls with dried fruits, cold dishes and so on, just to give these people a place to stay.
Just like the elderly in China celebrate their birthdays, children will go to welcome them. Since it is a banquet, someone naturally needs to welcome them. The person who greets them is the third generation of the Walton family. Originally, everyone except Hope had to go.
After all, Hope is a member of parliament and he wants to go on an official career, so he will not go to entertain others' jobs, and he has not even come today. This is to avoid suspicion. You must know that the United States is considered to be a high salary to support integrity, and it is a serious crime for corruption, but it is really necessary to be imprisoned, so people in politics must not be caught by others at all.
Even when you ask for political donations, you have to quietly. Who dares to come in a big way? What's more, it's like this.
Under such circumstances, basically every year, the people who come to greet these guests are Jim Walton's eldest son, Cooper Walton, and a group of younger brothers and sisters, to welcome guests from outside here.
In the past, Pula Walton naturally had to go there, but since last year, she didn't have to go there. Who said she was amazing? Whoever earns more money in such a family will be amazing. However, she can't pass by time, so she still has to call her better. So after lunch at noon, Pula Walton took Jiang Hai and Jiang Hai in the room for a few hours. At around 4 pm, she changed into an evening dress and went downstairs with Jiang Hai in a suit. Although she didn't have to entertain her, her face must be exposed.
"Look, wait here first, and then I'll come back to find you after I meet these people." After arriving at the room, Pula Walton looked at Jiang Hai and said with a smile. Jiang Hai also knew that although Americans and Chinese social engagements were different, she, as the host, had to ask whether the food was good or not, whether it was good or not, such as China or the United States, it was inevitable that Jiang Hai just nodded and said nothing.
Seeing Jiang Hai agreeing, Pula Walton also walked towards some people she knew in the room. These people could only come in through invitation letters from the Walton family, but so basically everyone took care of each guest.
If you don’t know this person, you don’t need to go up and say anything. Even if you are not familiar with him, it doesn’t matter and you will be very free.
Seeing Pula Walton enter the crowd like a butterfly, Jiang Hai also found a place to sit down.
Although he ate a lot at noon, he consumed a lot, so now he started eating again as soon as he sat down.
Just when he was having fun, several people came over and walked to Jiang Hai unknowingly.
Jiang Hai looked up and saw that he knew the person who came here. The guy who said yesterday that his country bumpkin was scolded seemed to be named Blair or something. He no longer remembered the other people. He looked familiar with him, but he didn't know him.
Looking at the eyes of these people, Jiang Hai frowned and threw a piece of biscuit into his mouth.
"Is there something wrong?" Jiang Hai looked at the people in front of him and said, naturally his attitude was not very good either.
"Oh, nothing, I just come and see you, because I seem to have never seen you, a real person. Bright said that he had seen you, so I asked him to bring me over to see you. These are all my friends." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, a man he didn't know smiled and looked at him. Jiang Hai raised his eyebrows. What did this guy say? He feels so uncomfortable? What does it mean to come and see me? Is he an animal? But he can't pick out anything.
"Now I've seen it? I'm going to continue eating. Is there any problem?" Hearing this person's words, Jiang Hai shook his head and was not ready to pay attention to him anymore. He lowered his head and prepared to continue dealing with the cake in front of him.
But these people were not here to come to see Jiang Hai eat cake. Seeing that Jiang Hai was ignoring them, the man leaned forward, pressed his hand on Jiang Hai's table where he was eating, and looked at him condescendingly.
"My name is Austin Walton, Pula is my sister. I heard that Mr. Jiang has a good sports level. Are you interested in activities before the dinner? Even if it is to eat more later, is it good?" Looking at Jiang Hai, the man said with a slight smile. When he heard his words, the friends around him laughed.
Originally, these guys were not good people, so they would not let them go if they had the opportunity to ridicule Jiang Hai.
Of course, these people only dare to smile. Jiang Hai’s current strength is far from something they can afford.
As a second generation, bullying can be done, but you have to know that if you bully someone you can afford to offend, you can come to Walton's dinner party, and you are very close to Pula Walton. To be honest, as long as these people are not stupid, they will only dare to smile.
"Sorry." The laughter here quickly attracted the attention of the audience. At this time, Pula Walton also saw the situation there. When she saw Jiang Hai surrounded by those people, she couldn't help but glared at the person she was talking, and then she walked over and came to Jiang Hai without saying a word and glared at these people.
"Are you looking for death? You dare to provoke him. Don't you know who he is?" Pula Walton stroked his hand on Jiang Hai's shoulder without saying a word, and said coldly. When he heard her words, the people here were somewhat scared.
How could people in this circle not know about the existence of Pula Walton. This female devil is not as easy to get along with as imagined. Although she is beautiful, she is a poisonous rose. If you dare to provoke her, it will be more than just taking root thorns. It will kill people. These people will be a little cowardly.
"Well, Sister Pula, you don't have to be so nervous. We have no malice. Just ask Jiang Hai if he is good at sports. If he is good at it, we will go out to play. If he is not good at it, forget it... we are also making a good relationship." Hearing Pula Walton say this, Bright here flashed, and Austin smiled awkwardly and said.
"It's okay, I'm OK with sports. What do you want to play? You can talk about it." He patted Pula Walton's hand. Although Jiang Hai didn't know what these people were going to do, he could play with them. Anyway, he was a little bored.
"I heard that you have played basketball and your level is very high. Then let's play tennis today!" When Austin heard Jiang Hai's words, his eyes lit up here, and he said with a smile.
Yes, he had already checked Jiang Hai long ago and knew that Jiang Hai was very good at playing basketball, and even went to the NBA for trial training. If it weren't for the fact that he was really too rich, he might have made his debut in NBA, so playing basketball with him would definitely not work.
Among his friends, there is a master of tennis. Today he specially invited him here.
"Tennis? Play with you? Okay, let's go!" Hearing his words, Jiang Hai thought about it, tennis, he played before, but he only played once. Many, many years ago, an anime was very popular at that time, called Prince of Tennis. After watching the anime, he felt it was very interesting, so he went to the tennis department of their school to play, but to be honest, he had no talent.
He just understood the rules, that's all, but it doesn't matter now. With his physical fitness, except for billiards, which requires planning and Dali may not have a miracle, he has no problem playing other things.
