Chapter 27 is fickle
Blake protested, "Mason, you're too upset?"
Mason said, "Do you want to sleep with this boy before dating?"
Mark pointed to his nose unhappily and asked, "Am I a boy?"
Mason said, "What do you have in doubt? You haven't looked off Blake's chest, what are you thinking, thinking I don't know?"
Mark blushed, he saw Blake go away in a rage, he shrugged his shoulders, and said to Mason, "You should be glad the crew has disbanded." ”
Mason said: "Don't scare people with your broken crew, I'm scared." ”
Mark felt a little embarrassed, but it was normal for a duck to die, and he insisted, "I'm going to kiss Blake." ”
Mason said, "Then you have to call me brother!"
Mark shrugged his shoulders and saw Hank and Ruby walking towards the back door, and he chased after him and said, "Don't tell me you guys are going now." ”
Hank said, "Ruby and I are smokers, let's go to the back alley and smoke a cigarette." ”
Mark said, "I must escort you to make sure you don't run away." They came to the dark back alley, where Hank and Ruby smoked a cigarette each, and they knew Mark didn't smoke, so they didn't invite.
Mark said: "I am very satisfied with your performance, it is very good value, what are you going to do next?"
"Tom introduced us to a job at Warner, and he's a nice guy," Hank said. ”
"I've brought in a sum of money, two million dollars, and I'm preparing for a second film, and I'm inviting you to join me, and I can guarantee that you'll earn three times as much as you did at Warner," Mark said. ”
Hank and Ruby were a little surprised, but also quite moved, they had already heard through Tom, that Mark is strong in the background, his stepmother is Kevin's person who also wants to please, and he does things under him, and the opportunities are obviously more than in Warner, if you ensure a stable income, this is a better choice, Warner is a big company, with enough resources and a big platform, but the competition is also very fierce, and it is difficult to get out without a backstage person, just like Tom.
Seeing that they were silent, Mark said, "I don't ask you to answer immediately, you can think about it before you get back to me." ”
Hank was about to speak, when a few ruffians were surrounding a man at the other end of the alley, and they shot so hard that the man screamed.
Hank didn't want to make a fuss, and said, "Let's go back, I can't think of such a mess here." As soon as they turned around, they heard the man who had been beaten screaming, "Hank, help me!"
The three of them were a little surprised, and the call for help by name must be an acquaintance, and Ruby exclaimed: "It's Jack!" They immediately rushed over, and several of the beaters were immediately alerted, and the leader said loudly: "Don't meddle!"
Hank approached and exclaimed, "Oh my God, it's Jack, what are you doing?
The leading ruffian said, "This bastard owes us a lot of money, and if you don't teach him a lesson, you won't pay it back, and keep fighting!" Several of his men immediately began punching and kicking again, making the pig-killer named Jack scream.
Hank hurriedly said: "You stop immediately, otherwise we will call the police immediately!"
The ruffian said: "The only way to stop us is to pay back the money, and when the police come, we will continue to fight tomorrow until he pays off the arrears." ”
Hank said, "We don't have that much money, and if you kill him, no one will pay you back." ”
The ruffian said: "If you are killed, you will write off the account, this can teach other people a lesson, you don't meddle in your affairs, otherwise you will be beaten together." ”
Hank and Ruby are helpless, they are serious people, and they dare not provoke these ruthless underworld people, these people can do anything.
Mark said: "Stop now!
The ruffian pointed at Mark and said, "Boy, don't brag, this is five thousand dollars, and it won't end well to deceive us." ”
Mark said, "I'll go get the money right away, you have to stop!" The ruffian gestured, and several of his men immediately stopped, and the ruffian said, "You have ten minutes, guys, and you won't receive the money in ten minutes, so break this bastard's hand and call it a day?"
Several of his subordinates immediately shouted yes, this is to put pressure on Mark and them, Mark immediately went back to withdraw the money, Mark did not have so much money in his account, and immediately borrowed 5,000 yuan from David, saying that he was helping a friend, if it was before, David would definitely not give so much money Mark, but now he is mature and steady, and he is reliable, and immediately took out his bank card and asked Mark to withdraw the money.
Mark got the money and rushed back, Hank and Ruby staring at each other for nine minutes.
The ruffian took the money in his hand, tapped it, made sure it was correct, threw a receipt on the ground, and said, "You're in luck!" The guy whistled, and several of his men whistled away.
Hank and Ruby immediately ran over and helped Jack, who was embarrassed and bruised, to his feet, and Hank frowned, "Jack, what are you doing?
Jack said weakly, "I owe them money." ”
Hank picked up the receipt on the ground and said, "I know, but why do you owe these people money, they are ruthless scumbags." ”
Jack said weakly, "I haven't worked for months, and I can't starve to death." ”
Hank said angrily: "With your cooking skills, how can you not find a job? My God, you can't give up on yourself like this, you must live bravely!"
Jack irritably shook off Ruby's hand holding him and said, "I'm fine, I will pay you back!"
Ruby said: "You seem to have said this many times, but you have never returned it, we are friends, but we also have our own lives, we can't help you in the long run." ”
Jack said angrily, "You can ignore me, I'm dead anyway, and no one cares about that." After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and walked away on his own.
Hank said angrily, "You bastard!"
Ruby sighed: "College classmates, we were good buddies back then, he was full of ideals and vitality, but he couldn't accept the blow of his parents' divorce, bankruptcy, and girlfriend's betrayal, and the whole person had a mental breakdown, dropped out of school in his sophomore year, and since then he has lived a decadent life of self-abandonment, and a good person has been ruined like this." ”
Hank said, "We'll pay it back, and we'll mess with you and deduct it from your salary, right?" he handed the IOU to Mark.
Mark tore it off and threw it on the ground.
Hank said, "You're not afraid that we won't pay it back?"
Mark said: "Can you all help your down-and-out classmates in college, do you need to worry about such a character? I'd love to be friends with people like you, now let's not think about these unhappy things, the party is going on, we have to have fun, this is our first movie, it means a lot." ”
Mark returned to the party and saw Blake sitting at the bar drinking a drink, he leaned over, touched his glass, and said, "If I'm angry about what happened, I apologize." ”
Blake said, "Why? You didn't do anything wrong, ask before you kiss, I think you're very gentlemanly, I want to ask if you really want to kiss me, do you like me?"
Mark's face flushed, he had never been in love, he was curious and self-conscious, but also a little nervous and uneasy, he was asked so bluntly by Blake, he was very nervous, he said, "Did I scare you?"
"Mason may have been overprotective, but he must have had good intentions, and he was afraid that I would be hurt," Blake said. ”
Mark said, "I understand, and I'll protect Kayla like that." He asked in a roundabout way: "You won't cancel the agreement that we will go to Disney the day after tomorrow, right?"
Blake saw that this guy was cautious, but he didn't dare to say that sentence or make the relationship clear, so she had to say, "Of course not!"
Mark smiled happily and said, "0k! ”
Blake said, "Who else are we, besides Kayla?"
Mark said, "Donald and Meghan. ”
Blake said, "I don't like this grumpy lady, she still lives in your house?"
Mark said: "Yes, taking over Donald's room makes Donald miserable, but she is the big financier of my next movie, and she must be settled." ”
Blake said, "You cheated on the little girl's money too?"
Mark said: "It's not a fraud, it's a lobbying investment, it's a win-win cooperation, anyway, she has nowhere to spend her money, and my project can also ensure profitability." ”
Blake complained: "The producer cheats people and invests like this, wow! You are preparing for the second movie so quickly, the later stage of "This Man is from Earth" has not been completed yet, and it has not been released yet?"
Mark said: "Tom is in charge of the later stage, I have nothing to worry about, Sophia said, the operation of the distribution is handed over to Kevin, he will do it, I believe this, and I don't want to waste this summer vacation." ”
Blake said, "You're a workaholic!"
Mark smiled: "I can make a lot of money, and it is something I like, I don't feel tired, I believe you feel the same way, you have been busy these days, but I have never heard you shout bitterly, you are very smart and capable!"
Blake said: "You only praise people with empty words, and never take any real action." ”
Mark said: "The conditions of the crew are limited, you see David and they are all working overtime for free, and when this movie is a big hit and makes money, I will give you a red envelope." ”
Blake said: "I'm wondering if I should use my phone to record your words as proof of someone's repentance." ”
Mark said, "How could I lie to you. ”
"Mason told me that the boy's words were not to be trusted," Blake said. They were chatting when Sophia and David came over to say goodbye, and this kind of party was not for them, so they showed their faces and left. Then there were the Toms, they brought Blake back, which made Mark feel a little unhappy, he would be happier with Blake here, some of the older ones also took their leave, and the rest were young people, they were full of energy, they drank and drank all the time, they sang and danced until dawn, and they were too tired to leave, and Mark arranged a taxi to take them home.
