Chapter 278 Return to the Private Island
After safely returning to Los Angeles in a private plane and landing at the airport, Zhang Allen was about to ask Bailey to drive the plane back to the suburban airport, but he received a message from Madison's female assistant, inviting him to attend a private island party hosted by Madison.
Zhang Ailun agreed and reported his personnel list to the other party. He simply asked Bailey to fly the plane again and take everyone to the private island.
When they arrived at Madison's island, it was already dark. Bailey communicated through the tower intercom and landed at the island's airport.
When Zhang Allen got off the plane, he saw that the female assistant and the security personnel next to him had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the arrival of the chief, they also came up and greeted him enthusiastically, "Mr. Jin, welcome to Madison Collection Island!"
"Hello." Zhang Allen also shook hands with the other party and asked with a smile: "Is Mr. Madison already on the island?"
"Mr. Madison is currently consulting with his private doctor. There are still many guests who have not arrived. If you are willing, I can take you to visit various parts of the island and browse the collections. After all, this should be your first time on the island." The female assistant said with a smile.
"This isn't my first time here," said Zhang Ailun.
"Have you been here before?" The female assistant was a little surprised. "Your name doesn't seem to be on the list of previous guests we invited. This should be the first time we formally invite you."
"Last time I came here as a security guard, accompanying a man named Wen Ke. Of course you didn't remember my name." Zhang Ailun smiled calmly: "It hasn't been long since I became a rich man. It's normal that you didn't pay attention to me."
The female assistant was a little surprised. She looked through the list of previous visitors to the island and found that there was indeed a record, but he was not on the list of important guests. Instead, he was an insignificant auxiliary staff member.
But he soon stopped caring about it. After all, being able to become rich in such a short time was enough to show that the other person was a capable person and also very lucky.
"Mr. Jin, please come with me to the VIP lounge to rest for a while. Mr. Madison is currently receiving treatment from a private doctor, so it's not very convenient. I will have time to come to you for a discussion later, and someone will arrange for security personnel to accompany you." The female assistant said in a hoarse voice.
"Ok." Zhang Ailun did not refuse and agreed readily. After all, they were the host.
Under the arrangement and invitation of the female assistant, I got into a bulletproof version of Cadillac with black paint. The heated seats also had massage function, which felt very comfortable.
The female assistant was also sitting next to him, providing meticulous care and asking about his well-being. It didn't make people feel annoyed, but was just right.
The driver started the car and drove to the leisure area of the luxurious villa. The leader had been here last time, so he was quite familiar with the route and was not unfamiliar with it.
Along the way, you can also see many blonde European beauties, Latin beauties, and Asian models arriving by private jets. They are all invited socialites and supermodels, as well as female stars in European and American circles.
Xige and his companions were also arranged to get on the bus, and they happened to meet an acquaintance.
"Hey, you guys are here again. Did you change your boss this time?" The second lieutenant who was driving was a little surprised.
"Our boss has never changed. Last time, our boss also came with us, but his status has changed from a staff member to an invited guest." Sig replied with a smile, and then asked, "Well, I haven't seen you for so long. You are maintaining your daily work here. Has Mr. Madison given you a raise?"
"No, our salary is already very high, and the benefits are so good." The second lieutenant answered without hesitation: "I can't think of any job that pays more than us and has better benefits."
After all, the food, drinks and entertainment are all high-end. You can rarely find such top-notch quality on the market, and it must be able to fly all over the world, not some street chicken or club slut.
If you hang out with rich people, you can even enjoy the soup.
"That's only because you haven't met our boss. Although we basically don't have a daily wage, every time we go on a mission, we can get at least several thousand or tens of thousands of dollars in compensation when we come back."
Sig smiled proudly: "I have also invested in a gun store. The business is pretty good. I can make tens of thousands of dollars a day. Our boss is also very generous. He even bought a company and invited me to live in his villa in Newport."
"Oh! Shit! Your boss is so nice to you." The second lieutenant was stunned and envious. "It makes me want to quit my job."
"That's right, our boss is indeed the best." Sig nodded with satisfaction, and finally turned the game around.
The Cadillac drove to the island villa area, and the female assistant got out of the car with the chief. The staff arranged for Xige and others to stand guard and patrol outside. The work content remained the same and was relatively easy.
Arriving at the reception room, Zhang Ailun saw that many people had already arrived, including a middle-aged white man in a suit with a tough temperament. He was undoubtedly a colonel in the military district.
According to the information provided by the intelligence, the other white-haired old man with a gloomy face should be the owner and major shareholder of the Blue Pharmaceutical Company, which is suspected of selling illegal drugs and is being targeted by the CIA.
There were a few capable women in dresses next to them. Zhang Ailun also had an impression of them. One of them was the host of the underground casino mentioned in the intelligence, and the other two seemed to be female stars who had filmed a few movies?
A blonde dressed as a bunny girl came over with a tray, and the female assistant poured him a glass of champagne. "Mr. Jin, please wait here for a moment. Mr. Madison will be here soon."
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I don't feel lonely with a beautiful woman like you accompanying me." Zhang Ailun took the champagne, sat on the sofa, smiled, and started talking.
When the female assistant heard this, she thought that the chief must be very satisfied with and interested in her, so she sat on his lap very sensibly and helped him massage his feet and legs. Her eyes were full of smiles, and she peeled the grapes with her own hands and handed them to her mouth.
Of course, Zhang Ailun accepted everyone who came. He looked at the bunny girl who turned and left. She had a wheat-colored complexion, a perky butt, and a great figure. She had the healthy beauty of a aunt who has her period on time every month.
I also asked: "What's her name?"
"Mr. Jin, are you interested in her?" The female assistant was also a little surprised. She turned around and glanced at the bunny girl serving tea and water. She also had some impression of her. "She seems to be a beauty pageant lady who voluntarily signed up to participate in the party. Her name is Leitlin and she is from Italy. Just say the word and I will call her over to serve you now."
"I just think she's very hardworking." Zhang Ailun smiled, looking at the busy bunny girl, who also had a capable temperament, which was different from the other young models and girls who were dressed coolly. He also politely declined.
After all, who knows how many spies the CIA has here. Maybe the person serving you tea and water is one of their agents. When they hear you talking loudly and reveal your true colors, they will stop you directly.
Fortunately, the chief leader is doing legal business, there is nothing wrong with it. He is not in the flour business, nor does he grow leaves. At most, he sells arms and recycles garbage. Are you going to arrest him for this?
The CIA doesn't care about these things. They are not professionally related. Otherwise, the colonel next to them would be there, hugging two bunny girls and laughing. Why don't they catch them?
You know, you don't have that ability. We are not part of the same system. Even if you are a Jinyiwei, you have to act according to the warlord's wishes.
If you offend a warlord, not to mention the CIA agent, even the master behind you will not be able to sleep peacefully at night, for fear of being hit by an unexpected rocket from the air. The chief participated in this party, but basically no one cared about him and no one recognized him.
But Zhang Ailun was also happy and comfortable. He sat on the sofa and hugged his female assistant, chatting and laughing. During the conversation, he also asked about the identities of the guests.
"Colonel Wood is the head of the Flores Military District in California. He is also an acquaintance of Mr. Madison. He is invited to participate in almost every fireworks show. Mr. Duco is on the board of directors of Blue Pharmaceuticals. Their company mainly develops some scientific fitness drugs and sleep aids. When attending parties, he often brings some new products to make everyone happy. Mr. Madison also likes the lemon slices developed by their company."
"That's Melissa, the host of the underground casino. She used to be a convenience store employee, and then she worked in the underground casino to solicit customers. As a result, she got to know many rich people and celebrities, and collected entrance fees from them. Later, she changed jobs and rented an office building to run a casino there. Many people were happy to go to her underground casino to play cards, and she often invited celebrities she knew to come to her parties. But I heard that she was investigated for illegal casino operation a while ago, and was blackmailed by local gangs, but in the end, those gangs were cleared out overnight, and she only paid a fine of $100 and hours of community service before she was released."
The female assistant told the story to the chief leader, and Zhang Ailun also understood it. People in the circle basically have interests transferred. The other party is not only the leader of the illegal casino, but also a brothel owner.
Introducing female celebrities into the circle and exchanging resources with the rich, the nature of the work is similar to that of socialites.
After a while, Madison, the host of the private island, came over. He looked pale, had dark circles under his eyes, and was supported by the housekeeper and using a cane. He did not look well.
As soon as I came in, I was welcomed by everyone and they greeted me warmly.
Zhang Ailun also stood up and walked over. The female assistant stood up with a red face, adjusted the wet corner of her skirt, took out a tissue and hurried to the bathroom.
"Duke, the pills you sent me last time really made me suffer. I couldn't get out of bed for several days." Madison complained, and then said nostalgically: "But it does feel very exciting to use it."
Du Ke, the director of Blue Pharmaceutical Company, was also helpless. "Mr. Madison, I told you that you can only take one pill at a time. How many did you take? The doctor said you took three pills! My God, no normal person can bear such a large dose. You are lucky not to die."
"Hahaha, there are such hot girls waiting for me to enjoy, how can I resist being a quick shooter who can't raise his head? Don't worry, I'm just joking with you. Even if I die, I will die happily, and you don't need to be responsible." Madison laughed and didn't care about that little thing. Several people talked and laughed.
Soon the female assistant came back and introduced the chief to Madison. He soon noticed Zhang Allen and greeted him warmly, "Hello, Mr. Jin, welcome to my fireworks show party. I'm sorry I couldn't pick you up. As you can see, I'm an old man with half a leg buried in the ground. I'm afraid I'll have to lie in bed and get an IV tonight, so I won't be able to participate in the event. But don't worry too much, I'm very lucky and I won't die anytime soon because I haven't spent all my money yet! Hahahaha!"
Zhang Ailun also sensed that the other party was indeed very lucky and it should not be a problem for him to live to be a hundred years old. This should be due to his long-term purchase of health products produced by pharmaceutical companies and underground channels, such as placenta, adrenaline red, and elixirs, which were all shady things.
"Don't feel restrained here. Relax a little and make sure to eat well and have fun. Gwen will take good care of you for me!" Madison said with a smile.
Only then did Zhang Ailun know that the female assistant's name was Gwen, but it didn't matter what her name was. He just came to the party for fun, and he couldn't remember it afterwards.
He immediately responded with a smile: "I think this party is also very good. I think I can adapt to the atmosphere here."
"That's right. This is the first step to becoming rich! Life is about enjoyment! Make sure you have no regrets!" Madison laughed and introduced him to Colonel Wood and the director of Blue Pharmaceutical Company next to him. He also briefly explained the identity of the chief to them. Only then did everyone realize that the chief was such a low-key billionaire!
Many people immediately came up and introduced themselves enthusiastically.
Melissa also took out her business card and smiled, inviting the leader to take care of her business when he had time. She also introduced him to two female stars around her.
The chief leader also felt the attention from many people and responded with a smile without changing his expression.
"Okay, I know you want to get to know Mr. Jin and do business with him, but our party won't last just a few minutes. We have plenty of time tonight! Mr. Jin and I have some private matters to discuss, so you can wait a moment."
Madison said this, and then took Zhang Allen into the box next door and closed the door. The sound insulation effect was very good, and the noise disappeared instantly.
He was invited to sit on the sofa and the female assistant brought him two glasses of red wine.
"Romanee-Conti, 1945. This is a fine wine that I only serve when entertaining distinguished guests." Madison said with a smile, and took out a cigar and handed it to Zhang Ailun. After being politely declined, he put it in his mouth and asked the female assistant to help him light it.
"It tastes good." Zhang Ailun tasted the red wine and nodded.
It was indeed a valuable wine that cost $100,000 a bottle, although he couldn't taste how good it was.
"Mr. Jin, I heard from Gwen that this is not your first time coming to my island?" Madison asked.
Zhang Ailan glanced at Gwen, not knowing when she reported the news.
He nodded immediately and admitted frankly, "Of course, I didn't have any money at that time. I met Mr. Wenko's housekeeper through a friend's introduction. I was invited to serve as Mr. Wenko's security guard and came to the island once. When I went to visit the collections and the zoo, I also led Mr. Madison and Mr. Wenko around."
When I went to the island that year, I stood like an ant.
Now, we can have a face-to-face conversation with each other on an equal footing.
"Hahaha, is there such a thing?" Madison laughed again and also found it very interesting.
"But I heard that old guy Wen Ke was hospitalized again a while ago and needed a heart bypass. I think he is in serious condition and needs to lie in bed for the rest of his life. But fortunately, he is not short of money. I don't know if his housekeeper has taken good care of him. I introduced some health products to him, but he probably doesn't need them." Madison said.
"I don't know about his condition either." Zhang Ailun shook his head.
The two chatted for a few more words, and Madison waved to the side, asking the female assistant to take out her collection, took out a black and gold matte box, and placed it on the table.
After Madison unlocked the combination lock, he opened the yellow silk inside, revealing twelve trumpet coins. He smiled and said, "Mr. Jin, take a look at my collection. I spent a lot of money to buy these from all over the world! They are all rare Spanish silver coins that were popular during the Pirate King era."
