America's Road to Wealth

“…the most understated Michelin star.”

“…the best Italian restaurant in New York.”

He wasn't familiar with Li Xuxian, and besides, the other person's appearance wasn't enough to make him immediately attracted to her.

This time, Abel did not sit in the back row of the carriage with his sisters.

He rarely sat in the passenger seat of the Cadillac Monster.

Listening to the conversation between the two sisters behind them, they were discussing the Italian restaurant called Bellini.

"This is a very, very difficult store to make an appointment with." Li Xuxian said, "I have made at least 20 appointments in the past, and I have only been able to make appointments 5 times."

"Oh." Li Xinyu looked forward. She felt that this problem should not be a problem for her man.

Especially this being in Manhattan. Li Xinyu felt that there was nothing that Abel couldn't do in Manhattan.

Li Xuxian might be looking for something to say to buffer the quarrel between the two sisters just now.

She was still introducing the restaurant to her sister in a low voice.

"...His home, from its signboard to its storefront, is full of an old-fashioned retro feel."

"It's also located on Upper Thompson Street, which is already full of Italian restaurants. As soon as it opens, it's always packed."

“No matter when we go, there are so many people! It’s the busiest restaurant with the most customers in Manhattan!!”

Ten minutes later.

Manhattan, on Thompson Street, in front of Bellini's Italian Restaurant.

In the carriage, Li Xinyu looked at her second sister.

The latter is a little embarrassing.

Because through the car window, looking in at the Bellini restaurant in front of me from the outside, except for the waiter of the restaurant, not even a single customer was seen inside.

"..."

Li Xuxian thought this was evil.

Such a lively restaurant with such good business and great reputation.

Why is there no one today?

It's obviously dinner time now, which is the peak period for this restaurant.

Even if it's not a weekend, for it, there is no distinction between weekends or working days.

Its business will always be so good in Li Xuxian's memory.

Looking at the second sister who was a little embarrassed, Li Xinyu laughed and said softly:

"My dear, the restaurant must have been reserved. Maybe the restaurant knew he was coming, so it wasn't open to the public."

Li Xuxian looked at the man in the passenger compartment.

Even if you already know that he is very powerful, even your own father cannot compare with him.

But with just one phone call, he was able to clear out the most famous Italian restaurant in New York within half an hour so that he could use it alone.

This power or influence is really terrifying.

You must know that this is Manhattan, a Manhattan where billionaires are everywhere and the world's richest people are everywhere.

Many times, just relying on money here will not give you much advantage.

Because the people who are likely to spend money against you are some oil tycoon chiefs in the desert, or aristocratic plutocrats with a long history in Europe.

"The venue is reserved."

Abel looked at Edward outside and made a safe gesture.

This means that the staff of Rock Security have taken control of this street.

He smiled and said to the two sisters behind him:

"But booking the venue does not hinder the taste of the food. We are here to eat delicious food, not to see people. Let's go, get down."

Li Xinyu nodded, took the hand of her second sister Li Xuxian, and walked out after opening the car door.

Abel walked in front, followed by the two sisters.

In just a few steps, in the cold wind of New York in winter, I stepped into the warm Bellini Italian Restaurant.

The waiters in the restaurant, as well as the restaurant manager, have been waiting in line for a long time.

Under the watchful eye of the rock security staff, they/they shouted in unison:

"Benvenuti, signori e signore."

Li Xuxian explained to her sister in a low voice, "It's Italian. The waiters here can speak Italian and English. It is said that they are all Italian!"

However, the two of them heard Abel say:

"Don't speak a language I don't understand. This is Manhattan, this is America. Please speak English, thank you."

The restaurant manager was stunned for a moment, then immediately stepped forward to please him and said with a smile:

"Ah, I'm sorry. Mr. Smith, this was an oversight on our part. I'm very sorry... Please come over here. The rooms have been prepared for you."

Abel nodded and said to the two Li sisters, "Let's go to the private room to eat."

Of course they would not refuse. The two of them followed Abel, with Edward in front and the other three kings behind.

The manager of the restaurant sent them into the largest box in Bellini's restaurant.

In the warm box, several people had just sat down.

The door was opened by Edward, and the restaurant manager walked in with a white man dressed as a chef.

The manager began to introduce the identity of the two people. The white chef was the chief chef of the restaurant, Bluder.

He is an Italian chef who has lived in New York for nearly 20 years. He was once selected as the best chef in the world by the world's No. 1 fashion magazine ".VOGUE" and is also the owner of this restaurant.

This restaurant was also voted the best restaurant in the world by ".VOGUE" magazine.

The chef and owner was naturally selected as the best restaurateur in the world by this magazine.

Ms. Anna Ventuna, editor-in-chief of the American version of ".VOGUE" magazine, said: For many North Americans, Blud embodies the best of Italian cuisine, and even the best era of Italian cuisine.

It is the most indispensable chef and restaurant for anyone in New York who wants to taste Italian food.

It's an excellent compliment.

With the level of endorsement from Anna Wintour and ".VOGUE" magazine, not to mention that Bluder is indeed a very good Italian chef.

Even if his cooking skills are terrible, he will still be admired by the global fashion industry.

Who told The Devil Wears Prada to praise her like this?

In terms of coffee status, the fashion industry is obviously a little higher than the food industry.

For a restaurant that has been praised so highly by the top figures in the fashion industry, even if the food industry doesn’t want to admit it.

Anna Wintour praises till now.

There are already 184 top restaurant associations around the world, claiming that Boulud and his Bellini restaurant are so great.

Thanks to various praises, Bellini became New York's number one Italian restaurant as early as two or three years ago.

Maybe even the number one Italian restaurant in the entire United States.

But these are nothing now in front of the world's richest man.

Here comes the richest man in the world, the number one Italian chef in America, the best restaurateur and chef in the world, Bluder.

He rarely does anything anymore, but instead of coming over to cook in person, he eagerly introduces himself to Abel, like the most ordinary Western chef.

After Bluder, who introduced himself, left, the box became quiet again.

Looking at Abel looking at the menu, Li Xuxian once again realized his power and influence in the city.

She is a rich girl, and she has only been able to enter a restaurant five times out of twenty times.

With just one phone call from him, the venue was cleared and booked in half an hour.

She came five times and even if she wanted to spend more money, she couldn't get the Italian food cooked by the restaurant owner Bluder.

As soon as he arrived, Bluder eagerly came over to be the chef, started to do it himself, and became the chef himself, with a respectful and even flattering attitude...

This comparison made Li Xuxian feel that Abel seemed more powerful in New York than her father in South Korea.

While sighing, Li Xuxian felt a little embarrassed.

Li Xuxian whispered to her sister, and Li Xinyu nodded to her: "Then you go."

Li Xuxian stood up, smiled at Abel who looked over, and walked out of the box door a little embarrassed.

As long as they are human beings, they have not separated from the physical body. Even if you are as beautiful as Audrey Hepburn, you still have to eat, poop and sleep.

Even the goddess's farts stink, not because she's pretty, but her farts smell like strawberries.

The goddess also has bad breath when she wakes up in the morning. Just because she is beautiful, she will smell like a rose.

When someone was in a hurry, Li Xuxian went outside to use the bathroom.

Under the guidance of the waitress in the restaurant, Li Xuxian washed her hands and came out after taking care of her physiological needs.

Just as she was about to walk back to the box where Abel was, she saw David Jones, Abel's entourage, talking to several people on the terrace of the Bellini Italian Restaurant.

What made Li Xuxian stop in her tracks was that she saw her idol among the people she was talking to.

Known as the devil in the fashion industry, her experiences have been made into animations and comics, and she has been called the "unofficial mayor of New York" by some British newspapers. Anna Wen, editor-in-chief of the American version of ".VOGUE" magazine Ms. Tour!

Li Xuxian met the "alive" Anna Wintour and was talking to David.

Li Xuxian originally wanted to go in and have dinner with the younger sister, the younger sister, and the eldest sister's lover.

After meeting Anna Wintour, it was like when ikuns went out to buy Mixue Bingcheng, they saw brother kun also queuing up.

The unconfident joy is simply beyond words.

Li Xuxian rushed over without hesitation and came to Anna Wintour with excitement.

On the contrary, Anna Wintour, who was talking to David, was startled and made a slight evasive movement.

But then Wintour may have felt that this was not "fashionable" and not ladylike enough.

The old woman calmed down and looked at Li Xuxian, who was a little excited. She didn't know what this Asian girl wanted to do.

As for Li Xuxian, because she saw her idol alive in front of her eyes, she couldn't even say anything excited at this time.

Fortunately, David stood up immediately, smiled and said to Anna Wintour: "This is Miss Lorrie Lee. She is, she is, she is..."

As smart and smooth as David, he didn't know how to introduce Li Xuxian's identity at this time.

Let's say she is the boss's woman. With this look, David doubted the boss would want her.

Let’s say she is the boss’s sister-in-law, but little Laura is the only one the boss has disclosed to the public.

"She is Mr. Smith's friend." David could only introduce her this way.

Li Xuxian, who was still excited, saw Anna Wintour, who originally looked at him with a somewhat disgusting look, and suddenly became enthusiastic towards him.

"Oh, hello. Miss Li. I'm Anna Wintour."

The devil in the fashion industry even stood up with a smile and reached out to Li Xuxian.

Li Xuxian shook hands with her, and now she finally felt a little calmer.

But her tone was still a little excited. Li Xuxian said: "Ah, Ms. Wintour. I'm so happy to see you. You... you are my idol!! I admire you so much!"

Anna Wintour was stunned. The reserved look of the "Devil of Fashion" that disappeared just now because she heard that Li Xuxian was Abel's friend appeared again.

"Ah... thank you very much for your like. Miss Li, I am honored." Anna Wintour said with a chuckle.

"Ms. Wintour." David suddenly said: "Ms. Li is Mr. Smith, a relatively close friend."

Anna Wintour was stunned again.

His tone changed again, and he faced Li Xuxian as warmly as if he were an old friend.

"Ms. Li. I think you have a very strong fashion temperament. Are you interested in participating in the shooting of an issue of "VOGUE"?"

Li Xuxian felt dizzy.

For her, her own dream is to become a fashion designer, and she is still a student at the Fashion Design Institute.

"VOGUE" magazine, to her, is the Sunflower Book in Swordsman and the Nine Yin Manual in The Condor Goddess.

Li Xuxian nodded without hesitation. His words were temporarily unavailable due to emotion.

"Angelina." Anna Wintour told a woman next to her, "Remember Miss Li's contact information. Remember to remind me later."

One of the editors of ".VOGUE" magazine named Angelina took out a pen and paper with a smile and approached Li Xuxian.

Looking at Angelina in front of him, Li Xuxian also remembered this person's identity.

Angelina was once invited to give a lecture at Parsons School of Design, talking about art and design concepts.

At that time, almost all the students in the college went.

The podium was so packed that an accident almost occurred.

As one of the editors of ".VOGUE" magazine, an elite of the younger generation in the fashion industry, and a student of The Devil Wears Prada, Angelina's reputation in their circle is also as high as thunder.

If Anna Wintour is a legendary figure like Wang Chongyang in the fashion circle.

What can Angelina say? She is also a world leader at the level of the Quanzhen Seventh Son.

Li Xuxian and the others were the ones in the background who could kill more than a dozen people with one shot of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

The "big brother of the world" was right in front of him, and his attitude was so friendly and kind.

Li Xuxian felt that his breathing was a little uncontrollably rapid.

David next to him couldn't stand it anymore.

He felt that this Miss Li was a bit embarrassed by her boss in front of Anna Wintour.

"Ahem..."

The butler of the Smith family coughed slightly and focused everyone's attention on him.

"Ms. Wintour. Thank you very much for your help. But if you want to see the boss, I need to ask. Please wait here."

After speaking, without waiting for Anna Wintour to respond, David stood up and glanced at the female bodyguard captain Doni next to him.

Duoni nodded imperceptibly and stepped forward to support the excited Li Xuxian.

As David walked to the box, he also took Li Xuxian over.

In the box, Abel, who was talking to Li Xinyu, heard David's inquiry, but he didn't notice the star-chasing Li Xuxian.

Instead, he said to David: "You mean, this restaurant actually belongs to the old woman?"

David nodded and watched Duoni help Li Xuxian, who was still excited, to sit next to Li Xinyu. He said softly:

"The Italian Bluder owns 33.3% of this restaurant. Anna Wintour owns 33.4% of the shares. The remaining 33.3% of the shares belongs to the German Karl Lagerfeld. In other words, Wintour The lady is the boss of this restaurant.”

Abel laughed out loud. I thought to myself, no wonder ".VOGUE" magazine and that old woman praised this restaurant so much.

A magazine in the fashion circle recommends the best chefs and best restaurants in the world.

It turns out she recommended her own restaurant, no wonder...

"No wonder you give face like this." Abel said with a smile:

"Then why does she want to see me? Does she want to take photos of me again?"

When it comes to taking photos, Abel doesn't have any objections to Anna Wintour, an old woman.

That time, photographers from "VOGUE" magazine, under the command of Anna Wintour, took photos of him at No. 1, 13th Avenue, Royal Point, New York. Even he was very satisfied with the photos he took.

Up to now, Abel's own print media, as well as those print media around the world that report on him.

Most of the photos they were using were of Abe Smith.

Almost all of them were photos taken by fashion magazines under the command of Anna Wintour, a special photographer of ".VOGUE" magazine.

Abel in the photo is shown to be handsome, sunny, and fashionable as a man.

In the end, he is obviously a top business tycoon and Wall Street giant, but he has an extremely large number of female fans outside the United States...

The reason is that in those photos, Anna Wintour made him even more handsome than Leonardo, Alain Delon, Bourne Anderson and other well-known golfers at their peak.

David Jones smiled: "That shouldn't be the reason. But I heard Ellen say that the relationship between Ms. Wintour and Donald Newhouse has been very tense in recent years. In addition, she tried to contact you several times, all because of you. I had a busy schedule and was rejected by you.”

Abel nodded, remembering that this was indeed the case.

At that time, he thought that the old woman wanted to take pictures of himself again.

Of course he would not agree to such a boring thing.

Now it seems that the fact that she has been looking for me so many times may not be looking for me to take photos.

After thinking for a while, Abel said to David, "Then let her come in."

David nodded and turned around to go out.

After a while, David walked in with Anna Wintour, Angelina, and another little girl who had been following Anna Wintour.

As soon as she saw Abel, Anna Wintour immediately smiled and said: "Good evening, Mr. Smith."

Angelina and the little girl, acting as a backdrop behind Anna Wintour, looked at Abel with a smile.

Abel didn't even stand up, and neither did Li Xinyu.

Li Xuxian, a star-chasing fan, stood up immediately when he saw Anna Wintour, and his expression was a little excited.

"Good evening, ladies. Please take a seat and let us taste the delicious food of the Apennine Peninsula."

Anna Wintour smiled and nodded, sitting down with her female assistant and the little girl.

Seeing Abel's eyes, he paused for a moment on the little girl.

Anna Wintour immediately introduced her identity with a smile——

"This is my daughter, Katherine E. Schaffer. You can call her Bea Schaffer."
