Evan was a little surprised by the sudden arrival of his younger siblings, but more of a guilt that he didn't have time to fulfill his responsibilities as an older brother. Of course, Evan didn't forget to smile gloating at the fact that the eldest sister Virginia complained to him at the dinner table.

Who made her the biggest sister?

Her parents are not there, and she doesn't care who cares.

After the five siblings had lunch, Evan was in much better spirits, and then talked about what they had seen and heard in the past few days.

Prior to this, Dorothy's proposal for the next destination, to go to San Bernardino for the Citrus Festival, had been unanimously approved. Of course, Robert was a little reluctant to vote yes.

As an older brother, and it was a weekend, Evan decided to go along. Because of this, the trip was postponed to tomorrow.

Dora is very active and active, and she is still very considerate of Evan's brother. Knowing that he had just gotten off the train, he set off immediately without making a noise.

The five well-fed siblings each occupy a corner of the sofa in the living room, and Dora is not too hot and tired of being next to Evan.

"Evan, you know what? When we went to Universal Studios today, we ran into a guy who claimed to be an agent, saying that Dorothy and I were in good shape, and wanted us to sign him. ”

"I said no, he followed us like a fly, he couldn't get rid of us, he hated it to death. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Evan rubbed his stomach that didn't know if it was because he had a bad stomach or if the producer of the dish was Virginia, and asked absentmindedly, "Did he say which company it was?"

Dora said, "I don't know, he gave me the business card, but I threw it away without even looking at it." ”

Virginia took over the conversation and said, "Dora stepped on someone's toe in order to drive people away. ”

"I don't know if it's bad to step on it, in short, listening to his scream, it must be painful. ”

Dorothy nodded in agreement, as if remembering the man's cry, and looked like she was concerned.

Evan frowned, raised his hand and touched Dora's head, and reprimanded: "There are many ways to reject people, and there is no need to use this kind of possible hurt." ”

"You stepped on someone, what if he gets angry because of it?"

Dora held Evan's hand with both hands, not letting him make a fool of himself in the head, and did not forget to retort: "It's okay, Sister Tammy is following!"

Tammy is the bodyguard of the Evan faction next to Virginia, so there is naturally no need to worry about safety, but Evan still lightly knocked on Dora's head: "Can someone mess around with someone following?"

"I see you're getting more and more ignorant......"

Seeing that Evan's brother has a tendency to transform into the second "Nina", Dora immediately bows her head and confesses, promising not to repeat the offense in the future.

Evan looked at his sister, who had a good attitude on the surface, but didn't know how much he could put it into practice, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Nina is really not easy. ”

"I hope my children won't learn from her ...... in the future"

Thinking of the child who didn't even have a shadow, and the mother of the child who wasn't around at the moment, Evan couldn't help but show a look of longing, wandering out of the world without knowing it.

……

Sunset.

Universal Studios.

An unknown crew is preparing for a night battle.

The tourists who came in with their passes were ready to leave when the time came, and they were about to leave at the urging of the staff.

Among the departing tourists, one man and one woman stood out.

Because the man is handsome and upright, the woman is delicate and has a faint trace of nobility on her body.

The man was none other than Rick.

And his female companion is none other than his client, Liliane from France, whom he just met a few days ago.

Lily, whose security name is Lilian Schulaire, is the daughter of Eugène Schulaire, the founder of L'Oréal. L'Oréal is a well-known personal care company founded in 1907, and its hair coloring products and cosmetics are loved by many consumers.

As a chemist and entrepreneur, Eugène Schulaire did a good job, but what few people know is that Eugène himself had a tendency to be facsi. His company financed a violent group called La Cagoule, which supported Vichy France in working with the Germans during the French occupation, and after World War II, he also took in many La Cagoule members to work as executives at L'Oréal. Among them was Jacques Cretz, CEO of Cosmair, the original L'Oréal American company. However, Jacques had just been sentenced to 10 years in prison by the French government and was unable to take up his post in the United States. That's why Lillian crossed the ocean to the American continent.

L'Oréal's operations in the United States have been suspended due to a bad decision made during World War II. Lillian is here to restart Cosmair's operations and bring L'Oréal's products back into the lives of Americans.

To accomplish this, it is easy to say and difficult to say. The easy thing is that L'Oréal has no shortage of products and no shortage of financial support. The difficulty was that he had to be careful to wash the stains off his body.

Lillian came to the United States as an heir and did not hold any position in Cosmair, but she was given two important tasks.

1. Communicate with bankers in the United States and borrow money.

2. Break into the upper echelons of American society and reverse the negative image of L'Oreal.

The first task is relatively simple, although many banks on Wall Street at this time have taken up funds from the Marshall Plan, but there are still many banks that can support L'Oréal America.

As for the second task, it was at a loss for Lilian, who was only twenty-four years old at the time.

Lillian had sailed to New York a month earlier, and since then she has been attending a banquet almost every few days, but to little avail. After that, Lillian traveled all the way west, eventually to Los Angeles, which has Hollywood.

Then, at a banquet in Los Angeles, Lilian and Rick meet. The two of them, who are three years apart in age, somehow, hit it off at first sight. So, after some exchanges, Rick not only helped the Federal Bank of California get a loan contract with a large amount of money, but also asked the beauty out of the hotel.

"Hollywood is the entertainment center of the United States, with countless trendsetting and trendy stars. Lillian, I suggest that you consider Hollywood channels when starting your business with L'Oréal. ”

Today, the two of them came out to play, but before they knew it, the topic returned to the situation that Lillian was facing at this time. In this regard, Rick naturally did not hesitate to help, used his brain, and came up with a lot of ideas.

"The role of Hollywood really can't be ignored. Lillian pressed the white hat on her head with one hand and smiled at Rick, "Thanks, Rick." ”

"No thanks, Lillian, it's just a small thing. Rick said, waving his hand.

"I hope it doesn't show up when it's advertised...... Someone who finds fault with it......"

Lillian's face was sad.

Rick reassured, "Don't worry...... There will be no such people. ”

I'll give him a chance to come ahead too.
