1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Chapter 219 The dance begins

After introducing Lu Chen and Adams, Fefuli said to them:

"You two come over here and meet the elders."

Then Feifuli pointed to an old man with gray hair and a full beard and said:

"This is Mr. Kotch, the president of the New York State Supreme Court."

Adams and Lu Chen hurried forward to greet him: "Hello, Uncle Kotchi."

Kotch looked at the two of them, nodded with a smile, and said kindly:

"The two boys are very good."

Adams pointed at Russell and said:

"This is the Speaker of the New York State Assembly. Mr. Russell."

Adams was surprised to hear that Russell was the speaker. He just saw Evelyn bring the speaker to introduce him to Lu Chen. He was a little suspicious. Lu Chen's girlfriend must be someone with a lot of background.

After Favre introduced Russell, Adams was indeed a little absent-minded. Seeing Adams's expression, Lu Chen complained in his heart how could Adams be so unreliable and still be absent-minded in such an occasion. Lu Chen quickly pulled Adams, then quickly stepped forward to greet Russell.

"Uncle Russell, we meet again."

Russell didn't expect that Fefuli would specifically introduce Lu Chen to them. He smiled and nodded to Lu Chen. Fefuli, who was standing next to him, looked at Russell in surprise.

"Speaker Russell, do you know him?"

Russell smiled and said, "We just met not long ago, and I didn't expect that Lu Chen would be among the outstanding young people you were going to introduce to us."

Adams finally came to his senses after being pulled by Lu Chen. He also came over and greeted Russell:

"Hello, Speaker Russell."

Russell said, "I didn't expect that the most outstanding person in the Corlia family would be the youngest son of Yakochi. Adams, you are very good."

Fefferi pointed to the last person and said, "This is Mr. James who is going to run for mayor next year."

Lu Chen looked at James. He looked to be in his 40s or 50s, with a slicked-back hair, a square face and an aquiline nose. He also had a scholarly air. After Favori introduced him, Lu Chen immediately stepped forward to greet him:

"Hello, Mr. James."

James also replied: "Hello, Mr. Lu."

After introducing the people, Fefferi took Russell and the others away. They went to greet other people.

After the others left, Lu Chen began to think about how he could contact James alone. After all, what he wanted to discuss with him was not suitable for other people to know.

Seeing Lu Chen standing there in a daze, Evelin walked over and asked in a low voice:

"Lu Chen, what are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought."

Evelin's voice brought Lu Chen back to his senses. He frowned and said to Evelin:

"I was wondering how I could have a private chat with Mr. James."

Evelin said to Lu Chen, “After the dance starts, you can find a chance to find him.”

Lu Chen said hesitantly, "Isn't this too abrupt?"

Evelin didn't understand why Lu Chen had such an idea. At a dance, as long as two people knew each other, wouldn't it be normal to approach and chat? Even if the two didn't know each other, wouldn't there be many people who would approach and chat at the dance? Evelin looked at Lu Chen strangely and said:

"What's so abrupt about this? The ball is a social occasion for everyone to get to know more people. It's normal for you to go and chat with Mr. James."

"Is that so!" Lu Chen had never attended a dance before, so he didn't quite understand the logic behind it. After listening to Evelin's explanation, he put his concerns aside.

Soon the dance began, and Evelin pulled Lu Chen and said:

"Honey, let's go dance."

Lu Chen said, “Evelin, let me tell you first, I have never learned this ballroom dance.”

Evelin looked at Lu Chen with a smile on her face, “It’s okay, I’ll teach you.”

Then Lu Chen was pulled into the dance floor by Evelin.

Although Lu Chen had never learned ballroom dancing, he had learned shuffle dancing with his brothers for a few days when he was in college. So after Evelin taught him the steps a few times, Lu Chen easily mastered the skill of ballroom dancing.

When Lu Chen came back from dancing with Evelyn, he saw Adams leading Jinx to talk with Fu Mingzhuo. Lu Chen felt very relieved that Adams finally remembered their agreement today and introduced Jinx to Fu Mingzhuo.

But when Lu Chen saw Fu Mingzhuo's indifferent attitude towards Jinx, he became unhappy. What's wrong with Fu Mingzhuo? He introduced such a beautiful woman to him, but he treated her like this. Lu Chen walked over with a gloomy face.

Seeing Lu Chen coming over, Fu Mingzhuo seemed to have seen a savior. He immediately walked past Adams and Jinx and came to Lu Chen.

Seeing Fu Mingzhuo running towards him, Lu Chen asked unhappily:

"Ming Zhuo, what are you doing?"

"Xiaochen, you are finally here. The Adams siblings are so scary. I told them that I already have a girlfriend, but Adams still tried his best to introduce Jinx to me. He even wanted me to dance with Jinx. Jinx also kept trying to get close to me. It's really scary."

Fu Mingzhuo seemed to have been greatly wronged, and he started complaining as soon as he saw Lu Chen:

"I told you I wasn't going to this party, but you dragged me here. Look at all the people at the party. The women keep trying to get close to me. That's too unreserved. I don't look like a woman at all."

Lu Chen was so annoyed when he heard Fu Mingzhuo's words. Women always come close to you. Where? Oh, why didn't I notice it? Isn't it only Jinx who is close to you? Such a beautiful girl comes close to you, and you still look down on others. Lu Chen is also drunk. You want to die living in the 21st century. You will be beaten by the majority of male compatriots for such behavior.

Lu Chen said to Fu Mingzhuo speechlessly: "People like you deserve to be single."

Fu Mingzhuo was a little confused after hearing Lu Chen's words. He said:

"I'm not single, I have a girlfriend."

Lu Chen didn't want to talk to him, so he walked past Fu Mingzhuo and came to Adams and Jinx. He asked them:

"What do you think of Fu Mingzhuo?"

Adams nodded repeatedly, "Not bad, very good. Rich and loyal. A good person."

Jinx also likes Fu Mingzhuo. He said:

"I've never met a man like Fu Mingzhuo. He doesn't have any feelings for me at all. He's a very good man."
