Winston invited Jimmy up for tea just to chat, to figure out what exactly happened with the news, and there was nothing that required Jimmy's action.

It's actually related to Winston and their business. As an assassin group, they naturally operate in the dark. Jimmy is Winston's friend, not affiliated with the Continental Hotel or the High Table, so relatively speaking, he is safer.

If Jimmy were to become a public figure within the FBI, Winston would then have to prevent him from engaging in any shady operations, as it would risk exposing their connection, making it a hassle to clean up.

Jimmy hadn't really considered that this might affect Winston, given that he had never had public figure experience. Although he had dealt with many cases, for protection purposes, his identity was never disclosed in related task briefs or public videos.

After chatting with Winston for a while and having a few cups of tea, Jimmy got up to leave. During their conversation, Charon stood silently nearby, and when Jimmy rose to leave, he led Jimmy downstairs and saw him off at the door.

Watching Jimmy drive away, Charon returned to Winston's room, "Sir, will Mr. Yang become a problem for us?"

Winston: "Why do you think so? He won't be a problem; he will become our friend and a cornerstone for our development."

Charon: "I don't quite understand."

Winston: "Charon, I have been in control of the New York Continental Hotel for thirty to forty years. No matter how others see it, this place belongs to the High Table, but ultimately, it belongs to me.

Every Continental Hotel is expanding its influence and heritage, not just us. So even if only to protect ourselves, we need enough capable people to balance the pressure from all sides.

We are different from the Twelve High Tables; they have family and business to provide enough manpower and funds to expand their influence, while we can only recruit some second and third-rate people to keep up appearances.

The legendary assassins here are all from various families, so the most important thing for us is to make friends. Even if we can't recruit them, at least become friends to avoid conflict, and in some cases, turning them into allies.

Sitting in this position requires considering not just oneself, but the entire family. We must nurture relationships with all those who could become friends."

Charon: "Just like Mr. Wick?"

Winston: "Yes, he is from Trasov's side, but that doesn't hinder us from becoming friends."

Charon: "I understand now. Thank you, sir."

Winston: "Arrange for someone to apply at his bar, consider it a little surprise we've prepared for our young friend. Having our people there should ensure the bar's safety."

Charon: "OK, I'll arrange it now."

-----------------

Jimmy was unaware of Winston and Charon's thoughts. The most important thing in his mind right now was the upcoming engagement ceremony and exactly who he should send invitations to.

After returning to the apartment, Jimmy settled in his study to comb through the people he had met over the years, figuring out who he could invite and who would actually attend.

Most people he knew over the years were work-related. Among those he knew outside of work, there weren't many who could openly show up in such a setting.

He wrote and sketched on paper, eventually coming up with a list. Once Nia returned home, they could choose the invitation style and fill in the details.

-----------------

Jimmy and Nia's engagement ceremony was finally approaching. Despite the various bookings at well-known hotel restaurants, Kevin Miller, being a big shot, managed to get it all done, showcasing the strong connections of the NYPD high-ups.

The person Winston mentioned had arrived in New York earlier, an Italian bald designer named Angelo. Jimmy was used to wearing bespoke suits, but he was stunned when he saw what Angelo brought to the hotel.

Designer Angelo didn't come empty-handed; he brought three assistants and four large boxes. Two of them contained various fabrics and pre-made suit components, while the other two had wedding dress styles, all conveniently detachable and configurable parts suitable for fittings for various body types.

After taking Jimmy's measurements, his assistants helped select appropriate suit components and quickly stitched them together to determine Jimmy's suit style. The entire process was very considerate, confirming neckline, sleeve length, elbow, and waist measurements, as well as adjusting bust and underarm sizes per Jimmy's request to prevent the suit from deforming when he carried weapons.

Since it was a gift from Winston, Jimmy didn't hesitate. Besides the custom suit for the engagement, he also ordered several casual suits designed to accommodate weapons. These Italian-style suits, upon seeing the actual product, even had a slight American power suit flair.

Designer Angelo also handled Nia's wedding dress. Nia, being relatively traditional, chose the most commonly used A-line white wedding gown, with a fitted bodice and an A-shaped skirt tapering smoothly outwards. It accentuated Nia's well-maintained figure due to her regular workouts, offering a graceful silhouette without being too exaggerated.

With the concept of using everything to its fullest potential, Jimmy also had Angelo make two women's suits for Nia for daily social events. She usually wore casual clothes to the precinct, but certain occasions still called for suits.
