As soon as yesterday's meeting ended, the entire Magic7 company immediately entered a state of non-stop and high-speed operation.

Carl moved quickly, and three days later, a $150,000 loan from Wells Fargo was in place. The amount was $50,000 higher than the shortfall Carl had given that day, both because of the high valuation given by Magic7's collateral bank and just in case.

Carl has an inexplicable confidence in Evan, and he thinks that the Rubik's Cube may be in short supply. This confidence is stronger than Evan himself, and Girard, who is obsessed with the Rubik's Cube.

Girard, who is back in the bank, is not slow either. On June 10, Girard teamed up with CBS to buy a 30-second ad slot for a month. In exchange, CBS-owned studios will help produce the commercials.

As soon as the advertising time slot was finalized, Girard scattered dozens of salesmen from the marketing department. They rushed to all parts of the country with two tasks: one was to win the advertising pages of the mainstream newspapers in the major cities of the country's states, and the other was to contact local distributors. These two tasks are not easy and costly, not only advertising spending, but also the travel and transportation of these people is not a small number. Carl couldn't help but worry about whether the loan would be able to sustain the day the product was released. So he has repeatedly persuaded Girard to close his points in the past few days, and he will never sign a check if his marketing spending exceeds the budget.

Evan's suggestion was eventually adopted by Girard, and Robert became the performer of the first Rubik's Cube commercial. For this, Robert, who has a strong desire to perform, is excited.

On June 12, the day after Virginia returned from a trip, the family decided to take advantage of Robert's trip to Los Angeles to shoot a commercial and travel to Hollywood together.

To produce programming and attract industry talent, CBS has studios in Hollywood, including CBS Plaza on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard, where it is the hub for its West Coast operations. The short film to be filmed by Magic7 will also be produced by CBS's Hollywood studio.

With such a great opportunity to visit Hollywood, how could Evan forget about Audrey. Before eight o'clock in the morning, amid Joseph's angry scolding, Evan pulled Audrey into the convoy to Los Angeles.

There were six members of the Warren family who went to Los Angeles, Audrey Carl, and Magic7, who were associate members of the Warren family, and four people, including Girard, were divided into three cars.

Audrey and Evan sat in a car, with Carl as the driver and a Virginia.

Nina took three small ones in one, and the driver was a staff member of Magic7.

The rest were left to sit in the last one.

From Sacramento to Los Angeles on Highway 99, it's nearly 400 miles. The convoy set off at 8 a.m., rested at Murray at noon, and entered downtown Los Angeles at 3 p.m.

When they arrived at the Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, Dora stepped out of the car with her head bowed like a frosted eggplant.

As for Dorothy, she fell asleep and was picked up by Nina.

Xu was tired, Xu was too long, and Audrey also fell asleep in the car. She lay on Evan's lap and stared at her for as long as she slept.

The car stopped, and Virginia in the front row looked at Evan before getting out of the car, with a little helplessness in her eyes, and laughed: "Haven't you tired of watching all the way?"

Evan smiled: "How is it possible, you won't get tired of watching it for the rest of your life!"

"You......" Virginia shook her head, didn't say anything more, and slammed the door shut.

The sound of the door closing woke Audrey awake, and she opened her eyes to find herself lying in Evan's arms, who was staring down at her affectionately.

"Did you have a good dream?

Audrey smiled and blinked, and replied shyly, "Don't treat me like a sleeping beauty, Evan!"

"But I want to be the prince who kisses the princess!" said Evan and lowered his head and kissed Audrey lightly on the forehead.

"Get up, Princess, we are back at the castle!"

Evan gave him a gentle hand, and Audrey straightened up and looked out the window, as traffic passed by from time to time, and a few tall palms stood on the side of the road, as if standing guard for the building behind the trees.

Evan got out of the car first, and under his tutelage, Audrey stepped out of the car with grace like a real princess.

The others had already entered the hotel, and they were still rubbing outside.

They don't have to take care of the luggage, someone does it for them.

"Evan!" Karl, who had just entered the gate and had completed the check-in formalities, beckoned to them and said, "Come this way!"

Dora regained a little of her spirits, trotted over to Evan, and grabbed his free hand: "Evan, you're so slow!

"Eh, don't pull me!" Evan involuntarily quickened his pace under Dora's pull, "Be careful, watch the road!"

After taking two steps, Dora lost her strength, and in turn grabbed Evan's arm, which became Evan's hand pendant, trying to get him to take it away.

The three of them came to the elevator, where Carl waited. Nina and the others had already gone upstairs first.

Evan asked, "On what floor?"

"We're all on the fifth floor, and your family of seven is on the top floor," Carl said. ”

As he said this, Carl deliberately glanced at Audrey, who was holding hands with Evan.

Well... A family of seven? It seems that there should be no mistake.

"Ding!"

The elevator doors opened, and a hot girl in sunglasses walked out with a suitcase.

Belch?

Evan and the others unconsciously set their eyes on the suitcase.

Dora was surprised and said, "Evan!

"What's so strange about this!" Evan retracted his gaze and said as he walked into the elevator, "It's convenient to add wheels, and if you have a chance to see where it's sold, we'll buy one too!"

After saying that, Evan glanced at Carl with deep meaning.

Carl understood and whispered to Evan, "It was just launched at the beginning of the month!"

"Oh!" Evan nodded, "Where is it sold in Hollywood? ”

In a flash, the elevator rises to the top floor.

This is the most exclusive suite at the Roosevelt Hotel, measuring 3,200 square feet (about 300 square meters), where Hollywood star couple Clark Gable and Carol Lombardi once lived. It has a spacious rooftop terrace with a 360-degree panoramic view of Hollywood.

Evan and Audrey walked into the suite hand in hand, saw several suitcases placed not far from the entrance, and heard Nina assigning rooms: "Dora, Dorothy, you two live with me, Virginia, you and Audrey live in one, Evan, you and Robert live." ”

"Are you okay, Evan?"

"Of course not, Nina!" Evan said, letting go of his hand, shaking his head and hands together.

Virginia pursed her lips and smiled, then took Audrey's hand and said, "Let's go to the room and take care of the luggage." ”

"Good!" Audrey glanced at Evan. Evan smiled at her.

The smile was a little reluctant.

Audrey snickered.

Karl said, "You fix it first, and I'll come up again at dinner time." ”

Evan waved at him to signal that we understood, and Carl left the suite.

After that, Evan threw his suitcase into the room and was the first to go to the terrace. He looked into the distance and saw the entire Hollywood Hills.

A hot wind blew and sweat broke out, and Evan returned to the house.

It's a pity that the Hollywood sign is a little smaller.

"Ding Dong!"

The doorbell rang, and Evan, who had nothing to do, went to open the door. He thought it was Carl coming up, and when he opened the door, he found that it wasn't.

Outside the door stood three middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes, one of whom was supported by the other two, with their heads lowered and their faces not visible.

The other two Evan happened to know each other.

All three were drunk.

Evan looked surprised: "Mr. Roosevelt, and, Mr. Reagan, it's really surprising to see two of them here." ”

"You two, this is ...... And what's wrong with this gentleman?"

The two Democrats, who had all been in Hollywood, looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

After a while, Roosevelt said, "Evan Warren, I didn't expect you to live here." Are you alone?"

Evan shook his head and said, "No, except for my father, our family is here. ”

"This ......" Roosevelt was about to say something, when the man who was being held suddenly yelled: "Carol, I want to go home!"

"Woo, Carol, please don't leave me alone!"

The latter sentence has a clear crying tone.

"Is this gentleman drunk?" Evan probably figured out why they were knocking on the door.

The son of a dignified former president, a friend who is drunk and wants to come to live in a top suite?

At this time, another young man ran out of the elevator with the hotel waiter, and when he saw Roosevelt and the others, the man said, "Sir, the person who booked the suite claims to be from Magic7......"

Roosevelt turned his head and called out to the man, "Bill, come over and help, take Clark to rest." ”

When Roosevelt said this, the man immediately shut up and walked over to take Roosevelt's place. Together with Reagan, he held off a struggling Clarke.

"Sir, let's go back to our room!"

Before leaving, Reagan nodded at Evan and said, "Evan, say hello to Lady Nina for me!"

"I will!" replied politely.

He looked back at Roosevelt and asked again, "Mr. Roosevelt, is that ......?"

"A friend, it's rude to drink a little too much!" Roosevelt asked, "Evan, the family is here?"

"Sort of!"

Roosevelt said, "I'm sorry, I should have said hello to Lady Nina, but it would be rude to come to the door with a drunken body." Say hello to your mother on my behalf, I'll go first!"

"I will, please go slowly!"

Evan sent Roosevelt lukewarmly.

Back inside the house, Nina, who came out of the kitchen with juice, asked, "Who was it just now?"

Evan sat down on the couch and said, "Room service." ”

"Oh!"

……

The second day began with Dora's screams of excitement.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, the group came to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.

At the dinner table, Evan and Nina talked about today's itinerary: "Nina, Robert and I are going to the CBS studio in the morning, are you going to go?"

Dora held up the fork with the omelette and couldn't wait to say, "I want to go, I want to go." ”

Dorothy chimed in: "I'm going too, I'm going to see Robert make a movie." ”

Robert corrected: "It's not a movie, it's an advertisement." ”

Dorothy tilted her head and asked, "Isn't Hollywood a place to make movies?"

Virginia said, "It's a place to shoot movies, but you can also shoot commercials!"

With a twist of her head, Virginia said to Nina: "Let's go to the studio, otherwise it will be boring if there are no people." ”

"Did you say, Audrey?"

Audrey, who was taking a small bite of bread, couldn't speak, just nodded.

Seeing this, Nina also nodded, "Since everyone wants to go, let's go." ”

"Evan, can you arrange to come over?"

Karl, who was sitting at the other table, turned back to Evan and replied, "Don't worry, ma'am, we have applied for a sufficient number of visitor passes. ”

While talking, the restaurant suddenly became noisy, and someone let out excited screams.

Evan looked for prestige and saw a man wearing sunglasses walk into the restaurant. Judging by the reactions of those around him, Evan guessed that he was a big celebrity.

"Oh, it's him!"

When Evan heard Nina say this, he turned around and asked, "Nina, do you know?"

Nina nodded: "Clark Gable, who starred in "Gone with the Wind" a few years ago, joined the Air Force, and one of his wives died in a plane crash. ”

The actor runs to fly a plane? This is also a legend!

"Clark?"

Evan thought the name familiar, and looked back at the man again, only to find that the man was walking in their direction, followed by two acquaintances.

The surrounding irrelevant people were cleared.

Seeing who was coming, Evan and Nina both stood up.

Nina beckoned, "Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Reagan, long time no see, and Mr. Gable, it's a pleasure to see you here." Did you come to me?"

Clark, who has a mustache and has long taken off his sunglasses, revealing deep eyes, looks mature and handsome, but standing in front of Nina, he shows a very low posture: "Dear Mrs. Nina, I was rude last night, and I came here to apologize to you this time." ”

"God says don't get drunk, for wine makes a man debauched. I couldn't do it, it's just that when I think of my wife, I can't help but ......"

Nina looked at Clarke, who was about to cry out with excitement, and felt a little inexplicable, at this time, Evan suddenly interjected and said: "Mr. Clark, please don't get excited, God is merciful, my mother is merciful, and she doesn't blame you." ”

After Evan finished speaking, Nina immediately said, "Mr. Clark, I am very touched to see that you miss your wife so much. I want to say that all mistakes can be forgiven in the face of love, isn't it?"

After convincing Clark, Nina looked at Roosevelt and Reagan and asked, "Are you two here to apologize too?" ”

"Oh, ma'am, your belly is a shame. ”

"Oh, ma'am, let me salute you. ”

After saying that he didn't want money, Reagan asked, "Madame, are you here to Hollywood, do you need a guide?" I think I'm the right person." ”

Nina smiled and shook her head, "Thank you very much, but I have to accompany Evan to CBS before playing, so I can only refuse your kindness." ”

After saying that, Nina turned around and asked, "Kids, are you eating?" ”

"Eat!"

When the three Reagan saw this, they all knew that Nina was secretly driving people away, so they had to take advantage of the situation to say goodbye.

After the three of them left, Nina knocked Evan on the head.

"Room service?
