Chapter 108: Being "targeted"
Li Hongyan was sincerely happy when he thought that his younger brother had another chance to make money. In America, money means status, wealth... means everything.
Li Hongfei was more cautious: "It's hard to say whether there are opportunities or not, but it would be good to get to know a few more friends."
"exactly……"
Li Hongyan nodded repeatedly. Looking at her younger brother who was much smarter and more confident than before, she couldn't help but said, "Why didn't I realize that your brain was so good before?"
"..."
Li Hongfei was speechless: "Are you praising me or hurting me?"
"Hahaha..." Li Hongyan was also happy and hurriedly said: "Of course I'm complimenting you... By the way, I don't think Catherine has many decent clothes that can be worn on big occasions. You bought all this Now that the car is good, why don’t you take them to buy a few items quickly?”
Li Hongyan already knew that Catherine was his younger brother's girlfriend. Li Hongyan was very satisfied with this "younger sister". He felt that she was not only capable, but also not squeamish at all. The most important thing was that her academic qualifications were not low and she was not just a mere girl. A woman who can be used as a vase is a helper who can help his younger brother's career development. Being able to find such a girlfriend, Li Hongyan feels that his younger brother has made a lot of money and should be nicer to other girls.
Li Hongfei smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I know it."
You definitely need to buy some good clothes, but formal attire is not suitable for police station activities.

"Hey... honey, look at the car in front of you." At the gate of the San Francisco Police Department, I saw the black Cadillac Eldorado in front of me turning around and driving into the parking lot of the police station. In the Mercury Marquis sedan behind me, I saw The woman in the passenger seat was a little surprised and said to the man driving the car: "Is this car also here to participate in today's event?"
Looking at the solemn and luxurious Cadillac Eldorado in front of him, the male host also frowned slightly: "It seems... but who does this car belong to? The license plate is very unfamiliar."
Even in the United States, Cadillac Eldorado and Fleetwood, which cost more than 30000 US dollars, are top-notch luxury cars that only a few people can afford. Without exception, they are status symbols. For the man in this Mercury Marquis, I have an impression of the respectable Cadillac owners in San Francisco and their license plates, but the license plate of the Cadillac Eldorado in front of me is completely unfamiliar.
"Well, it does look strange," the woman in the passenger seat nodded, "But you were looking at the license plate."
"License plate?"
Although he was a little confused as to why his wife reminded him to look at the license plate, the man still looked over at her reminder. The next moment, he understood what his wife meant: "11-99 license plate frame? Interesting..."
As a member of the San Francisco Board of Education, he certainly knows the meaning of the 11-99 license plate frame launched by the San Francisco Police Department 11-99 Foundation. It seems to be just a souvenir, but in fact this "souvenir" itself means that the car owner enjoys a certain some privileges.
It seems that the owner of this Cadillac Eldorado is not a nouveau riche who knows nothing and accidentally made a fortune, but an "insider" who knows certain rules.
"My dear, aren't you planning to run for city council?" the woman in the passenger seat said excitedly: "It's just the right time. No matter what the person in the car in front is, since he can drive a Cadillac, he can still be invited to participate. It’s an event organized by the police station, so it wouldn’t be wrong to get to know him.”
The man nodded immediately: "My dear, you are right."
After that, he stepped on the accelerator and followed.
………………
Li Hongfei had just parked the car and before he got out of the car, he heard a gentle voice coming from the side: "Hello, Mr. and Miss."
Li Hongfei turned around and looked over, and saw a car driving up from the parking space next to him. Sitting in the car was a middle-aged white man and woman who were obviously a couple. The man was greeting him with a smile on his face: "You are here too. Are you participating in today’s event?”
Although the man was a little surprised that the owner of the car was a young Asian boy, this was not the point. The point was that the clothes of this Asian boy were not cheap at first glance, which also confirmed the man's previous thoughts.
Upon hearing the other party's greeting, Li Hongfei immediately understood: These two people were also here to participate in today's event.In line with the principle of making more friends, Li Hongfei immediately smiled and nodded: "Yes, we are also here to participate in today's event. My name is Daniel Li. You can just call me Daniel. This is my girlfriend Catherine."
Seeing Li Hongfei's neither humble nor arrogant demeanor, without any of the timidity and lack of confidence of the Asians he had seen in the past, the man became more and more firm in his thoughts and judgments. He nodded enthusiastically and said: "Hello, Mr. Li, I My name is Steve Barton, and this is my wife Susan... Well, if you don't mind, let's go together? To be honest, I have participated in several activities held by the police station... Oh, I forgot to introduce, I’m on the San Francisco Board of Education.”
Steve Barton’s meaning is obvious: I have participated in many events held by the San Francisco Police Department, but I have never met you before. As a senior, I am willing to provide you with some help that I can for you who are participating in such events for the first time. help.
Catherine didn't expect that she would meet such an enthusiastic and kind person, so she couldn't help but turn to look at Li Hongfei.
Li Hongfei was also wondering in his heart why this guy named Steve Barton was so enthusiastic. His ancestors said that showing courtesy for nothing is either a traitor or a thief. But looking at this guy's enthusiastic and sincere expression, Li Hongfei could only think that It was just my luck that I met an enthusiastic person, so I didn’t think much about anything else—the organizer of today’s event was the San Francisco Police Department. Could it be possible that this person could also be a liar?And if he has really participated in many activities organized by the police station, he should know many people in the police station, right?No matter if he is Li Kui or Li Gui, you will find out later.
Thinking of this, Li Hongfei no longer hesitated and nodded with a smile: "Hello Mr. Barton, this is indeed the first time for Catherine and I to participate in the police station activities. It would be great to meet such an enthusiastic person like you."
"Hahaha……"
Hearing what Li Hongfei said, Steve Barton was very happy and became more and more enthusiastic: "I just like to make friends... Daniel, let me tell you, today's event is for Police Officer Christon James." Supervisor, I have a good relationship with Inspector James. I will introduce you to you later..."
