[Zhongyingmei] After inheriting the throne

Before setting off, Gladys carried out some basic investigations on Gotham City based on the information collected by Francis, so as to lay a good intelligence foundation for the next mission.

Gotham is a typical port city, composed of natural islands and artificial islands. Even in the fierce competition of many similar cities on the east coast, its port trade industry has maintained a prosperous scene.As a city not rich in local resources, although Gotham relied on imported raw materials and tried its best to develop industries like other large cities in the last century, when the new century came, it began industrial transformation and optimization under the condition of rising costs.At present, Gotham's manufacturing industry, high-tech industry, pharmaceutical industry, service industry and financial industry are all quite developed.

This is the successful part, and the failed part, along with abandoned factories, soaring unemployment rate, etc., has become the black soil of the city.Gotham itself is an immigrant city. Its history is accompanied by the rise of the four major local families. The descendants of the four major families still enjoy the glory of their ancestors and basically control all areas of Gotham. With the evolution of history, the class solidifies It has also become a set trend, the disparity between the rich and the poor makes the atmosphere of Gotham not so wonderful.

Compared with this common disease that is prevalent in various states, the turbulent undercurrent of the underground world is also actively contributing to Gotham's high crime rate.The influx of immigrants led to the birth of various international small towns in the city of Gotham, and the famous underworld families could form a small United Nations, which made the local gangs unable to win the leader.The prevalence of gangs has become the public perception of Gotham citizens, or in other words, it has been firmly entangled with the economic lifeline of the entire city and has become a unique part of Gotham culture.

It's hard to say what kind of city Gotham is.You can say that it is the capital of crime, but it is still prosperous.It is both beautiful and ugly. The surface is decorated with flashy dreams, but the bottom is already full of holes.You can see the elite toasting, laughing and talking, and you can also see the people at the bottom struggling to survive and slowly sinking in this swamp.

Just like the towering towers and rotten abandoned old areas in Gotham City, they are divided into diametrically opposite upper and lower ends in the same world, and the entanglements in it are not humane.

It's not that no one wants to save the city, but Gotham's foundation is the same as the mysterious hole under the island. It has long been rotten at the root, and their strength is a drop in the bucket.Gotham looks a lot better today than it did 20 years ago, thanks to the efforts of Police Commissioner James Gordon and others interested in building Gotham.

Of course, you can also attribute it to the fact that with the development of the times, even the Japanese gangsters have begun to develop down-to-earth businesses that are close to the people. It is not surprising that the underworld forces in Gotham have learned how to decorate their facades.Of course, they also marched into some more professional fields at the same time, giving a hidden boost to the degeneration of the city.

Therefore, in addition to the high crime rate for a long time, Gotham, whose economy is still booming, began to think about tourism.To be honest, the port of Gotham, apart from some shady services, its bay is uniquely beautiful in terms of viewing.Who has a longer coastline? Gotham is an island.

The architectural style of Gotham has a sense of history and depravity of the bustling city of the last century.The Gothic style has become a major symbol of Gotham, so in the urban renovation plan, no Gothamites are willing to give up this feature and remodel their city to more cater to the same style of the new century international city.Gotham people are very proud of this.Of course, there are also new buildings. You can see the distinctive high-rise buildings of the four major families, as well as those stylish modern buildings decorated with shining glass in the newly built urban areas.At night, the night lights are turned on, and far away from those dark areas, the high-end buildings adorned with nightlife are resplendent and brightly lit all night. At a glance, it is difficult for people to see the crisis pervading the depths of the city.

Gladys had Francis buy Miss Grace Gray a one-way ticket to Gotham.Don't laugh, it's not some curse.Although, when the influential figures from all walks of life in Gotham tried their best to advertise the local tourism industry, everyone smiled knowingly.However, as long as you go to the right area, the crisis is actually not that serious.Just like after keeping themselves safe, the local rich will always have a thousand ways to have fun.

About 10 days later, Ms. Grace Gray from Yorkshire, England landed at Archie Goodwin International Airport by plane.When she got off the plane, what she saw was the rare sunny weather.The weather in island cities is always confusing, but the climate in Gotham has always been humid.Ms. Gray looked up at the sky. Visibility was good.Looks like today is a lucky day.

The crime rate in Gotham is very high. For some people from other cities, coming to Gotham on business is often a hard job. You have to find a way to spend the money approved by the stingy boss where it is most needed. Sometimes for safety, you may have to Pay yourself back.But for foreign friends, if they come to Gotham to settle the business, the profits are still very considerable.Therefore, as long as the company intends to book a high-end hotel for employees, they will feel that the place of business trip is actually not that bad.

Ms. Grey, who was relatively free, unceremoniously asked Francis to book herself the top suite of the Gotham Royal Hotel. Although it was not as good as the presidential suite, it was still top-notch.This is a good guarantee for her safety, as well as the comfort of this trip.After arriving at the scheduled location by rail transit, she took a taxi to the hotel.

Coincidentally, among the list she had to deal with this time, the venue for the banquet happened to be the lobby of the Gotham Royal Hotel, which saved her a lot of time going back and forth to see the venue.

The other party is a wealthy businessman from Romania, who became rich five generations ago, and he can't be regarded as an upstart, but it takes a little effort to squeeze into the upper-class circle.

This wealthy businessman is not an outstanding figure, but being able to develop the industry left by his ancestors to such an extent can be regarded as a successful career.The purpose of his holding the banquet this time is to break into Gotham's upper circles and gain some convenience and support that only those so-called aristocratic families can get.

Therefore, his request for this banquet was to have an aristocratic style and high-end taste as much as possible. Miss Grey, who was born in England, won his favor. After some recommendations, he finally got the list.As for the process, such as how Miss Grey got into this line and how she emerged in the industry, it was all resolved by Francis and arranged properly.When Ms. Grace Gray set foot on the land of Gotham, she was a very well-known in the industry, a high-end banquet planner, with a series of titles such as etiquette guidance.

All in all, if anyone wants to decorate the facade, there is no one but Miss Grey to look for.

As soon as Ms. Grey arrived at the hotel, she began to make phone calls, send emails, contact various departments, and issue instructions and arrangements.Her design draft had been passed on to the other party before boarding the plane, and she received a certain degree of approval.The next step is to make adjustments based on the actual situation, simulate the banquet process, and conduct a new round of planning and adjustment.Miss Grey carefully read the invitation list sent out for the banquet, as well as the backgrounds of the characters on the list.She looked at the specifics of the venue, the scheduled decorations, and, of necessity, the chef in charge of the dinner and his proposed menu.

After mastering the tone of the entire banquet atmosphere, Ms. Grey went to the garden to check the flower decorations that were reserved for the banquet that night, and then contacted the chef to confirm the purchase of ingredients and conduct a tasting session.

The pink and white roses were finalized as the bouquet for the banquet that night. They were bright in color but not overpowering. With the background of green leaves and the embellishment of rose red berries, they could just make the atmosphere of the dinner lively and grand; The dinner plate is a classic white plate with gold rim, you can never go wrong, whether it is for dishes or soups, it is just right.The winery has prepared a corresponding wine list for the wealthy European businessman to personally select to show his own taste.

After finalizing the wines, the chef officially started the menu with a refreshing appetizer of customized salmon salad, vegetable cold soup showing European style, fried lobster with local seaport city characteristics, and roast turkey with fresh grilled fruits and vegetables as the main course. With creamy cheese sauce and dessert, the extremely popular but unmistakable truffle rosemary chocolate.Miss Gray reached out and took a piece of chocolate covered with vanilla sauce, tasted it in her mouth, and finally gave an affirmative answer, "It tastes very good."

But Miss Grey did not relax after inspecting the important points of the banquet one by one.Due to certain local characteristics, she is most worried about security issues, after all, this is Gotham.Familiarity with escape routes is essential.

Still, her concerns about security were unwarranted.If these elites have been defeated by all kinds of accidents, they will not have been firmly rooted here for generations. The rich can always use money to solve any problem. If anyone regards them as simple The fat sheep, it must have never seen the scene of sheep eating meat.

Besides, if there is any accidental discovery, it is fate, and no one can stay out of it.

Miss Grey repeatedly confirmed every procedure at the dinner party, and finally nodded.

Everything was arranged properly, and that night, after night fell, a long red carpet was rolled out in front of the hotel.Famous cars, beauties, and most importantly, celebrities from all walks of life who belonged to Gotham's upper class made their grand debut.At the entrance of the hotel, various media outlets stretched out their microphones and cameras, and the lights of the cameras went up and down one after another.

They briefly commented on the current social situation as the topic of the opening exchange.After those pleasantries, people took their seats one by one.However, their eyes are still communicating with each other, as if there is a more anticipated scene.

Soon, with the entry of new guests, the whole scene exploded with a "boom", igniting the atmosphere of the audience.The other party was none other than Bruce Wayne, who was commented by the local media as "the richest and most handsome man in Gotham".He took a beautiful female companion on his arm and greeted everyone, "Ah, I'm so sorry, I'm late." This apology was full of smiles, but it was not really apologetic.

He walked slowly across the red carpet, giving the various media enough time to shoot, and then finally entered the door and took a seat.

The dinner party finally started.People chatted in low voices while savoring the food slowly.After a few rounds of drinking, the atmosphere on the field gradually became warmer, and more important speeches began.The wealthy Romanian businessman who hosted the banquet invited several heavyweight guests in turn.These speeches involve some future business plans of Gotham, joint cultural promotion, etc., which can be said to cover all aspects. Anyone can say a few words on this occasion, which is very valuable for conversation.

Ms. Grey, who was patrolling around, looked at Mr. Wayne, who was not on the stage but had invisibly captured the attention of everyone, and was inexplicably concerned.

Suddenly, the wealthy businessman who had just chatted with Mr. Wayne glanced around the venue, cast his eyes on Miss Grey, and said, "I recommend Miss Grey to you. She will never disappoint."
