The charity gala's hall.

Su Tianyu politely raised his arm, lightly grasping Bruna's small hand as he said, "Hello, Ms. Bruna."

"Hello, Su!" Bruna had studied in the Hua District with elders of her family for a period of time, so her Chinese was quite good. She only had some difficulty understanding some uncommon words and dialects.

"Let me introduce you. This is Gu Baishun, the president of the Dragon City Stevedores Association; this is Bai Hongbo, the vice president and finance minister of the Stevedores Association...!" Jiangzhou had last met Bruna in the Hua District when he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, attending a reception dinner with his family elders.

However, Bruna wasn't very familiar with him, only considering Jiangzhou's cousin, Qin Zimo, a foreign friend. This time, Jiangzhou had come to handle matters, and Qin Zimo had paved the way beforehand.

After a brief introduction, Gu Baishun politely shook hands with her. But when it came to Da Bai's turn, he shamelessly gave her a European-style cheek kiss. According to Hou Guoyu, an observer, Da Bai puckered his lips when he kissed her, and some drool might have been involved.

"Please, have a seat!"

Bruna greeted the group and, smoothing out her dress, sat on the sofa, her sexy rear in full display. This one movement sent Da Bai into a cranial orgasm, his eyes practically glued to her, oblivious to everyone else.

Objectively speaking, the Eastern aesthetic often struggles to accept the girls from Africa or the Arctic tribes. We mostly prefer Asian girls, and even some Caucasian beauties don't seem very pretty to us. Of course, this is just a generalization. Many Caucasian girls still meet the popular aesthetic standards.

But Bruna was an exception. She probably had some European ancestry, as her skin wasn't so dark, but rather a light tan. Secondly, her figure was absolutely stunning! She was about 1.7 meters tall, slender and willowy, with curves in all the right places, especially her slender waist, which looked like a model in an underwear ad that had been photoshopped countless times.

Most importantly, her proportions weren't as exaggerated or voluptuous as those of other South American girls, and her hips weren't as wide, so she really did fit the Eastern aesthetic.

Besides her figure, her face was also of celebrity quality. Her features were a bit like those of Deborah Silva, the Brazilian model who was popular before the Great Era, but Bruna looked even sexier.

...

On the sofa.

After chatting politely with Jiangzhou for a few moments, Bruna took the initiative to ask, "Jiang, are you here to discuss maritime trade?"

"Yes, the general content is what my sister told you," Jiangzhou replied tactfully.

Bruna paused slightly. "Jiang, you should be aware of my situation... I'm not in charge of shipping, nor do I have the authority to swipe cards at the checkpoints."

Jiangzhou smiled. "Of course, I understand."

"Oh, do you have the relevant documents with you? The kind that's very direct, with a clear indication of the type of goods?" Bruna asked bluntly.

Jiangzhou knew that people here were very direct, but he didn't expect them to be this direct. He was a little surprised. "Can I submit the documents now? But I'm sorry, I thought tonight was just a charity gala..."

"Giggle!"

Bruna covered her mouth and smiled. "I forgot, you Easterners like to have a few meals before discussing business. Oh, it doesn't matter. You can organize the documents and give them to me. Two days from now, after the charity event, we'll have a party at my house. I'll introduce you to my father. As long as he agrees, no ships will be denied passage in the waters around Panama City."

"Thank you so much!"

"Don't mention it, my friend." Bruna replied with a smile, "When I was sick in the Hua District, I was fortunate to have your sister take care of me. I have very fond memories of being there..."

Beside them, Da Bai stared blankly at Bruna and whispered, "The men in the Hua District are more worthy of remembrance. No, to be precise, they are more worthy of savoring...!"

Su Tianyu, who usually argued with Da Bai at every chance, actually nodded unconsciously at this moment, his eyes also glued to the girl.

After briefly touching on the main topic, Bruna got up and invited Jiangzhou to take a walk and meet some new friends, which the latter didn't refuse.

As they walked towards the center of the venue, Bruna told Jiangzhou frankly, "Jiang, as far as I know, you have strong competitors."

Jiangzhou smiled and replied, "First District?"

"Of course, their delegation has also come to Panama." Bruna replied generously, "For a country that has spent eighty percent of its time since its founding instigating wars, they will not give up any visible benefits..."

Jiangzhou nodded. "Then it depends on who the Bernardo family ultimately chooses to have dinner with."

"From my perspective, of course, I hope to have dinner with you," Bruna replied directly. "I hate those insatiable robbers."

"Thank you for your appreciation."

"Jiang, you look much more handsome than before, very strong," Bruna added flatteringly.

As they chatted, they walked into the crowd of guests to mingle.

On the periphery of the crowd, Gu Baishun tugged at Su Tianyu and whispered, "What is Bruna responsible for?"

"I heard Jiangzhou say that she's the administrative secretary-general of Panama City, equivalent to... the director of the municipal office, a position of considerable importance," Su Tianyu replied.

Gu Baishun, with his hands behind his back, said, "A girl of this age in politics is no simple matter. She's probably a femme fatale!"

Hearing this, Da Bai immediately said, "Don't talk badly about people behind their backs, or you'll get a growth on your thing."

"Can you not think with your ass?!" Su Tianyu replied displeased.

"Let me tell you this! Even if she's a venomous snake, the kind that kills you with a touch, I still want to get with her!!" Da Bai swore. "Not just casually get with her, I want to be in love with her! Forever and always!!"

Su Tianyu almost threw up when he heard this. "The last time you got drunk, you grabbed the mama-san at the Golden Chamber and said you wanted to jump off a cliff with her! Can you calm down?!"

"You don't understand." Da Bai waved his hand. "For a wanderer, love at first sight is enough!"

"Let's go, let's stand over there. Stupidity is contagious," Su Tianyu said as he dragged Gu Baishun away.

Beside them, only Hou Guoyu remained. Da Bai glanced back and said, "He said it's contagious, why aren't you leaving?"

"I'm too smart, I need a little bit of stupidity," Hou Guoyu replied seriously.

"You latecomer, you're getting cocky, aren't you?!" Da Bai grabbed Houzi's arm. "I'll kill you!"

While they were talking, the charity gala's speech began. A man in his sixties, leaning on a cane, walked onto the stage and waved to the crowd.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Su Tianyu vaguely understood that this person should be the military and political chief of Panama City, the head of the Bernardo family.

...

Meanwhile.

The crippled youth answered a phone call on the second floor. "Did you find out?"
