Chapter 42 The upper class is also a world of its own
"Okay, Xiya, make your choice!" Li Zishu stood up. "Have you had breakfast? If not, let's go together!"
Ghost shook his head. "No, we've accepted a job and are going to Libya now!" Ghost smiled at Li Zishu and said, "Take good care of my sister. She's still young!"
Li Zishu rolled his eyes and asked, "Am I very big?"
Watching the other party leave, the family leader was too lazy to say anything and went straight into the restaurant to continue eating.
But the blonde girl stood up and walked around curiously.
"What are you looking at?"
"I'm familiar with the environment. Although I've never been a bodyguard, I'm familiar with the terrain and the layout here, so I can play an important role in combat!"
Fighting? What kind of fighting? Don't talk nonsense, who would come to my house to fight after having eaten their fill?
Li Zishu stopped talking.
The other person looks pleasing to the eye in a blue tight-fitting suspender miniskirt, but if you start fighting, do you plan to stab her to death with your high heels?
"I think you should change your clothes."
Xiya lowered her head and looked at herself. "You're right, I don't like it, but my brother said that girls should have a girly side!"
Your brother is a psychopath!
"Do you have any clothes to lend me? I see you're about the same height as me!"
Li Zishu was so angry that his teeth itched. "Go to the largest room on the left on the third floor and choose."
When Xiya went downstairs, Li Zishu covered his forehead with his hands. The other party was wearing his vest, which was obviously hanging loose, and a waist-hugging suit on the outside.
"Is that okay?" After saying that, he turned around in front of Li Zishu.
"Aren't you hot?"
"It's not easy to carry a gun without a coat!" He unbuttoned his suit and opened it, revealing the Glock 17 inside !
"Okay, change and follow me to the District Attorney's Office!"
Scarface nodded and immediately arranged a vehicle.
When we arrived in the city center, we found the District Prosecutor's Office located in a three-story building. It did not look like a government department, but more like a small shopping mall, not luxurious at all.
As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Xu Liren standing in the middle with a tall and thin black man. When they saw Li Zishu coming, they immediately greeted him.
"Zishu, come here quickly, this is my classmate, John!"
"Hello!"
"Hello, Li, the hero of Saint-Lodu. I've wanted to meet you for a long time, but unfortunately you've been too busy! Let's go to my office!"
After that, the man led everyone to an office at the back of the second floor. The office was large, with floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides, allowing for a clear view inside from the outside! It gave people the impression of openness.
"Sit down!" The man pointed to the sofa and poured a glass of water for Li Zishu.
"Zishu, why are you here this time?" Xu Liren didn't expect that Li Zishu would arrive as soon as he got to work today.
"I heard that the funds of the District Attorney's Office are a bit tight?" Li Zishu narrowed his eyes and kept looking at the black man in front of him.
"Yes, the funds for combating crime are generally allocated by the city government. The amount has been smaller in recent times, but the crime rate is rising. The large number of unemployed people has caused difficulties in life, and many people have begun to take risks!" The black man smiled awkwardly.
"So how do we reduce crime? You have to remember this is San Lodo?"
"Actually, the number of organized crimes isn't huge. It's the ordinary crimes like robbery, assault, personal marijuana cultivation, and domestic violence that are the most common crimes in everyday life! If we want to solve this problem, we need to be more considerate of people's lives and reduce their anxiety!"
"Since the crime rate is rising, why not increase investment?" Li Zishu looked at the black man and suddenly smiled.
The black man was a little embarrassed.
"Alright, Zishu, you're asking even though you already know the answer. John has a very high approval rating. Unlike other prosecutors, he won't deliberately increase sentences for the sake of prestige, causing more people to go to jail to improve his performance. He has his own principles. The election is coming!"
"Are you interested in running for mayor?"
After hearing Xu Liren's words, Li Zishu asked subconsciously.
John nodded.
"Uncle Liu, give me your checkbook and I'll give you 2 million!"
"Thanks!"
"Uncle Xu, I heard you took on two difficult cases?"
So this is the reason why you came here, first to express your support for John, and second to come for me!
"The mayor is leading the land acquisition effort to build a new landmark building. The Craig Group is currently acquiring the land, but we've received information that the one leading the acquisition is a black family selling pills on the street, and the EDA is currently keeping an eye on them.
The second in the family hopes to explore new development directions, but the head of the family is obsessed with the streets. He has seized a lot of territory in the city and has had conflicts with Haitians.
As for bullying, that's a very tricky issue! It seems to have become a trend, attracting public attention, and it affects not only domestic students but also international students! It's very complicated!
Xu Liren began with a brief introduction.
Li Zishu smiled. "The mayor is involved, as are the company and the family! Interesting!"
John smiled awkwardly, and Xu Liren pressed his hand. "It's okay, we're all family!"
John nodded, "There must be an exchange of interests!"
Li Zishu stood up and patted the other person on the shoulder, "Come on!"
Seeing that it was almost noon, Li Zishu left the district attorney's office.
"Boss, there's an invitation from the mayor at noon, but you just now?"
"You think I'm two-faced? No, I just want to see more clearly. I want someone to keep an eye on the mayor's every move, his daily schedule, even where and when he goes to the bathroom. I want to know!"
Scarface nodded, it seemed that his boss had made his choice.
After getting in the car, Li Zishu looked out the window without saying a word.
Xiya curiously kept glancing at the other person through the rearview mirror.
"What are you looking at?"
"I'm wondering what you will do when you meet the mayor and he asks you to help him?"
"I'll tell him I'm willing to contribute to the prosperity of Saint-Lodo and give him another 2 million!"
Xiya laughed, her pretty face blushing slightly. "I don't think you look like a family leader, but more like a qualified businessman!"
"Businessman is my profession!"
Li Zishu didn't care. Should I criticize him? Should I call him worse than pigs and dogs and call him a bastard who abuses his power for personal gain?
"The boss is here. It seems to be Alberto from the Nolan family, the current leader of the family. I didn't expect him to eat here too!"
Looking at the white-haired old man who got out of the extended bulletproof car not far away, Li Zishu observed him carefully. He had a slicked back hair, waxed and combed meticulously.
He was wearing a black shirt and a collar, and was leaning on a cane with a handle that was either silver or platinum. He had a sharp nose and was very thin, giving off a sinister vibe.
"It seems that this old guy has always wanted to break into the upper class!" Li Zishu opened the car door.
The other party also noticed him, nodded slightly, and then walked in with two bodyguards.
Li Zishu, who was following behind the other person, saw another side of the old man. Unlike the reserved and calm appearance just now, he had a natural smile on his face as he entered the restaurant.
"Hi, how are you doing?" Alberto came to a table near the door and patted a man on the shoulder.
The other person nodded, smiled and said, "Thank you, I'm fine!" and then started eating.
The old man didn't show any displeasure at all and kept greeting people along the way.
Most of them just nodded politely in response.
It can be seen that these people are not simple, but they keep their distance from him.
The old man sat down at his table with satisfaction and started to order. Three years ago, he came here three to four times a week just to get in touch with these people and build good relationships with them. Now he has gradually become familiar with them.
Seeing Li Zishu come in, he smiled slightly. He didn't expect to see this little guy from a Chinese family here.
"It seems that the Li family also wants to make some changes!" The old man smiled and looked at the menu.
"Hi! Lee!"
"Li, I didn't expect to see you here. Let's play ball together sometime!"
"Li, RIC's stock price soared after your press conference today. Did you know? I made a lot of money. I'll buy it today!"
"When did you acquire RIC? If you have any good investments in the future, please share them with us!"
Alberto's eyes widened. What was going on? Why were these people so enthusiastic, proactively greeting him? It was completely different from how they had just treated him!
In the eyes of others, Li Zishu is different from the old man. The other party is a complete gangster leader, but Li Zishu is different. He is a real businessman. He owns Pyramid and now has RIC. Zhiyuan went public through a backdoor listing and RIC's stock price soared. In just a few days, Li Zishu created a myth.
Not to mention that the other party is a hero, which is a world of difference from the Nolan family!
Making friends with Li Zishu will not have any negative impact on you!
"Lee, my dear friend, here, you know? My secretary called you countless times in order to have lunch with you!"
A fat white old man spoke loudly. People around looked over and found that it was the mayor, and they all smiled knowingly.
Alberto looked grim. He had made appointments with the mayor countless times, but he never accepted. Now, he actually made an appointment with him and even called him countless times.
The white-haired old man felt upset. They were all here to make money, so why were they treated so differently?
Where's your freaking reserve? We're all family members, but you're so indifferent to me and so passionate about him. Did you all drink fake alcohol? He's also a gangster leader!
