Chapter 173: Scolding and Peak's Contact
Please enter the text Andy packed up his things, took out the VIP card of the Four Seasons Hotel and swiped it on the special elevator, directly to the underground parking lot, and walked quietly as quietly as he came, after all, as a world-famous hotel, there are not too many celebrities and celebrities staying in the hotel, reporters are there every day, safety first.

When I got home, just in time for dinner, I finished eating under Li Wanqing's murderous gaze and Auston's playful gaze, and just as I wanted to run back to the bedroom immediately to avoid interrogation, I heard Li Wanqing say: "Andy Smith! I think our family should have a talk!"
βγγγγγγ Andy looked bitter and sat back at the table with his head down, this is their family meeting, very MIN, very fair, can talk freely, can also be openly criticized, so as to avoid irreconcilable conflicts in the family, however, in recent years, there have been few meetings.
Auston sat across from Andy with a smile on his lips and a smile on his face, and the meeting was chaired by the proposer, Li Wanqing.
"I don't ask what you were doing on the day and night you disappeared, who you were with, I just want to know what you want? Ahem, what the hell do you think?"
Andy looked at Li Wanqing's serious expression with a sad face, knowing that there were some things that needed to be said, "I didn't think much about it, I'm only 21 years old this year, although I like Ivana, but it's not to the point where I don't want to marry her, besides, I don't want to get married, I'm not interested in marriage!"
"What? Do you say it again?, don't you want to get married?" Li Wanqing asked angrily as she glared at Andy, who had shrunk her neck.
"Yes, I still have a lot of things to do in the future, and I will make a lot of money, once I get married, I can't guarantee that I won't have another woman, in case of divorce, my assets will be cut off in half, I won't be so stupid!" Andy said strongly, but he didn't dare to look at Li Wanqing's eyes that could breathe fire.
"I... When did you become a money junkie?" Li Wanqing pointed at Andy and was speechless.
"Don't be angry! When it comes to meetings, you set the rules, don't break the rules yourself. Seeing that his wife was really angry, Auston hurriedly came out to persuade him, and looked at his son seriously and asked, "Do you really think so? What about the children? You must know that the Smith family needs to be passed on!"
"Anyway, I won't think about marriage in the next few years, let's see the situation in the future, but first I will think about my assets first, and then consider marriage. As for the child, there will be women who are willing to give birth to me!" Andy was a little less stunned by Auston, and said a little casually.
"Fart!" Auston slammed the table and stood up in anger, looking like he was going to eat someone, "The Smith family will never be inherited by an illegitimate child! This will become the laughing stock of Washington! I thought you had really grown up and matured, but I didn't expect you to be so naΓ―ve! Get out, go back to your room!"
Andy was silent, he saw Auston so angry for the first time since he crossed over, well, he did underestimate the influence of the family on Auston, indeed, whether it was past, present or future, illegitimate children are common in high society but are not recognized, especially when it comes to some long-established family inheritance issues, they will never compromise, unless the direct line is dead, otherwise they will never let an illegitimate child inherit.
Remnants of feudalism! Andy lay on his bed aggrievedly, chattering angrily, although it was angry, but Andy knew that it seemed that in the matter of marriage, he could not let himself go, unless he wanted to anger his current parents to death.
In such a tangled mood, Andy slept until dawn, and after getting up to wash, Andy saw the maid bringing breakfast to him, but there was no Auston and Li Wanqing.
No need to ask, the two are still angry with him, Andy smiled bitterly, knowing that this matter is ambiguous, there must be a clear answer, otherwise it will really be isolated and unwelcome at home.
After eating breakfast quickly, Andy left the house, got in the car and came to the newspaper office, this morning he made an appointment with Rob Freman, the CEO of Summit Entertainment, to meet here, after all, the office here is luxurious and atmospheric enough, although with a little twilight, but Andy is young, but he seems to be much calmer.
When Rob Freman and his entourage came to the newspaper office, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, and the two sides met each other first, and they exchanged pleasantries for a while. If it's the other way around, hehe, you will only see arrogance, this is the typical face of a US imperialist businessman.
Andy, as the core of a Celestial Empire soul, is really handy to play Tai Chi in a circle, and has been smiling and listening to the compliments that make him feel comfortable, as if he forgot to ask the other party what he came to him for today, the purpose is understood by everyone, but both sides are playing the game of whoever speaks first loses.
Okay, Rob Freman bottomed out a cup of coffee, watching Andy get up and use the phone to tell the secretary to bring coffee in again, he couldn't help but look at the two people around him, and smiled helplessly, knowing that it doesn't take energy, Nima, don't know if coffee is the most diuretic? Two cups of stomach can't be filled in twenty minutes, and it can definitely suffocate to death.
Andy released the answer button on the telephone, returned to the resting sofa and sat opposite Rob Freman, and said with a smile: "Mr. Freman, wait a while, the coffee will be delivered soon." Mishospitality, forgive me. β
"That's very kind, Mr. Smith. The purpose of our visit to you this time is to buy the film adaptation rights of the two novels you wrote, "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games", I don't know what conditions you have?"
Andy was slightly stunned, but the expression on his face was still smiling, and he couldn't see any change at all, but he didn't rush to reply, but picked up the coffee cup, took a sip slowly, pretended to be forced to do a full set, squinted his eyes and looked at the three Robbs, and the old god asked.
"I'm not in your film industry, so I have a question for you... β
Rob Freman reached out and gestured for Andy to say the problem.
"How much global box office does the Lord of the Rings series have? How much profit does "Pirates of the Caribbean" bring to Disney? "Spider-Man", as well as the just-resurrected "Batman", the money-burning "007" series, and the most popular "Harry Potter" series in recent years, how much has the global box office swept away?"
When Andy smiled and began to ask, Rob Freman also took what he said as a problem, but the further he listened, the cooler his heart became, and finally he pulled out the cold directly.
However, Rob was not discouraged, at least Andy's agreement with them meant that they could negotiate, otherwise they would not have been invited to meet at the newspaper office, but in this way, the original conditions did not even need to be said, and Andy would not have bothered with them at all.
"Hehe" Rob laughed twice and said: " I understand what you mean, Mr. Smith, although these two novels are best-selling novels, but they are only novels, the results of the film adaptation are risky, no film company dares to bet, we Summit Entertainment is ready to get involved in the production of movies, although it is just starting, but we have a lot of distribution channels, especially in global distribution, our experience is very rich, we are also confident that these two series of movies will be made well, I don't know what specific conditions Mr. Smith has? We are really very sincere! β
Andy smiled noncommittally, at this time his secretary Anne happened to bring coffee in, Andy smiled and stretched out his hand to signal, but did not pick up Rob's words, it was simply the opposite of the other, how could Andy tell him that he wanted shares in their company, and now he proposed that it would definitely collapse, even if it didn't collapse, it would be handled, which was not what he wanted.
