Chapter 197 Alliance
Mark is sure that Soni is not the one who smeared and slandered MJ, it was the white racists who wanted to pull him down from the altar and send him to hell.
Soni is taking advantage of this matter to take advantage of the yin wind to make a profit, they don't want MJ's life, they only want MJ's equity, but their way of destroying MJ's spiritual belief is worse than killing him, and Mark hates it.
Before MJ, there was the story of Ali, the boxing champion of the 60s, when Ali said, "I'm not going to be what you want me to be, I'm going to be who I want to be", the dark forces and the media buried him.
When Ali joined the "*** Nation" group, the media called him an unpatriot, a traitor, and a coward because his religious beliefs prevented him from participating in the Vietnam War, and ironically at the time, in today's day, Ali is named and recognized as a hero of the United States, but when he made those unpopular decisions back then, he was besieged by all the white media because he did not do what "their" wanted him to do, and he became a dangerous precedent for those minorities to worship and be proud of.
In the past decade, the media began to embrace Ali because he was already weakened by his illness, and when he was no longer the loud voice or threat he once was, the international community came to hold him as a hero, but when he struggled, these now flattering people, the shadows were gone.
Boxing champion Ali can finally be regarded as a hero to light the torch of the Atlanta Olympics and justify his life, and the world returned him to a clean slate after MJ's death, only Mark understands how great the humiliation he endured, so Mark decided to help him and return what he deserves, which is not to say that Mark's strength is strong enough to face the Suni Group head-on, but the influence of traditional philosophical ideas in the East, the gentleman has done something and has not done.
Mark returns to Los Angeles and his assistant Caroline arrives at the airport in his BMW X5 to meet them, while Megan and Kenny go their separate ways.
This is the first time Giselle has come to Mark's house, and Mark is very serious, and last night he told Caroline to arrange for someone to clean the house and courtyard, clean it inside and out, change the pool with new water, and fill the fridge with food and drinks.
Unfortunately, the weather is cold now, the wind is blowing, and the new limbs of the withered trees have not grown, and the best time here is summer and autumn, when the cool sea breeze blows, and there are flowers and trees everywhere.
Mark is proud to live in such a good house, took Giselle around outside, and talked to her about everything here, there is a golf course here, but Mark rarely plays, it can also be said that he can't play, he doesn't like such elegant sports, he likes high-intensity but no confrontation, to put it bluntly, it's the kind of self-entertainment, but David and Sophie often come to play, Mark saw Giselle shivering from the cold, so he felt embarrassed, and led her into the door, the doors and windows inside were closed, and the central air conditioning was turned on, very warm, and there was no problem wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt。
And the clever Caroline made coffee, drinking mellow coffee, Giselle felt much warmer and more comfortable, and was interested in visiting the house, she had a hunch that she would live here in the future, get married and have children, which made her feel warm and happy, and the interest in visiting was even higher.
Mark said: "What do you think of this place? If you don't like it, you can have someone design it and redecorate it." ”
Giselle said: "Who would renovate the rented house? The rent here is so expensive, and the house price is appreciating every day, do you have any plans to buy it to preserve its value?"
Since the Internet technology bubble, the economy of the United States is full of sorrow, the depression is extreme, only the real estate market is strong, rising steadily, the strong real estate market makes many people hot, more money and hot money flow here, further speculate on the market, and now the housing prices have begun to rise, soon formed a huge bubble, the bubble burst, the financial tsunami hit, the global economic recession.
Mark won't buy a house now, and he can't say it clearly, so he had to say: "I also want to buy it, but I don't have the money, I ostensibly control more than one billion assets, but I also owe more than 400 million debts, and the interest alone is not a small burden, and it is not wise to buy a house now." ”
Giselle said: "Who is not a rich man in this country who is not in debt? You have been working for two years away from school and have achieved such results, which is very remarkable, and many people will not be able to reach this height in their lifetime." ”
Mark looked at her and smiled, "Is this a compliment?"
Giselle said: "Of course, who does not admire those who are stronger than themselves. ”
Mark said: "There is a party tonight, so let's order takeout for dinner, right?"
They decided to meet here in secret, and MJ felt that Meghan was too close and too public.
"The fridge is stuffed with food, and we make it ourselves," Giselle said. ”
Mark said, "Ok! After dinner, Caroline will ask you to buy some change of clothes." Giselle and her team came as they were supposed to be, Gen Tai didn't have time to pack their bags, and after Giselle broke up, all the luggage was moved back to New York, as well as his agent and assistant, they also went here, and they also had to prepare some daily necessities, all of which had to be bought, and Mark's secret meeting was only attended by a limited number of people, and they didn't want to get involved.
Giselle immediately went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, and Mark also ran over to help, but Giselle saw his clumsy appearance and blasted him out, and Mark had to go back to the study to deal with some unfinished papers, and he would often bring some papers home to deal with.
But before dinner, a helicopter fell from the sky, Mark thought it was Meghan coming, knowing that she had a good face, and went to meet Gisele together, who knew that it was Martin, the fat man, who was helping down by the bodyguards, on crutches, and limping over with a smile on his face.
This guy lost a lot of blood, resulting in a very thin body, looking like his face was full of wrinkles, his face was not good, but his interest was high, he kissed the back of Giselle's hand, and said with a smile: "My dear, you are as beautiful as an angel, I am very honored that you invited me to dinner!"
Mark only remembered inviting him to a secret talk, but he didn't seem to say that he would be invited to dinner, but everyone came, and there was no reason for people to go back to eat first, so he had to invite him in.
Martin was wearing a thick velvet coat and a scarf, and he looked very afraid of the cold, and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight compared to the last time they met, and he was full of praise for Mark's place.
Mark said, "You have eight bodyguards so many people, don't you mind ordering takeout, right?" If you let Giselle make eight more servings, she will have to be tired.
Martin said, "I'm sorry for you. ”
Mark immediately asked Caroline to order takeout, and Mark said, "You don't look thorough yet?"
Martin sipped his coffee and said, "It will take several physical therapy sessions and months of training to get back to normal, do you know what was the first thought I had when I woke up? Because they damn it, if they ask for money, I can give it to them, no matter how much, they don't need to shoot, this shot is unnecessary, just to shoot, they can hit others, why do they have to hit me, this is their damn reason, when I know that it was you who killed those two bastards, and then came to save me, I was very happy in my heart, I was not chaotic in case of danger, deal with it calmly, this is the material for doing big things, we can be friends. ”
Martin is obviously a chatter, this time he opened his mouth, he said non-stop, after drinking a cup of coffee, he was still talking, this is a bit subverting Mark's understanding, the gold medal trader, it sounds lofty, giving the impression of sharp-eyed, taciturn, hidden in the city, ruthless, but this fat man, what does he say in a rambling voice, Mark has not yet spoken, he has already told his plan, and asked Giselle on the side to keep it secret.
Mark was still questioning the fat man, but the plan he made showed the grandeur of a gold medal trader, insidious and cunning, extremely strict, once implemented, Soni would never have thought that all this came from the hand of a verbose nag.
After this long-winded article, he immediately asked, "When can I start eating, I'm a little hungry!"
Giselle smiled: "It's okay now, it's just some homely food I make myself, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
Martin said: "I only care if there is food, Giselle, you are beautiful, you can cook, you are really the best stunner, Mark, you are really a blessing." ”
Others praise his girlfriend, this is a face-saving thing, Mark had to humbly thank him, and after everyone sat down, the goods immediately ate and drank, most of the glass of red wine, drank it in one sip, while stuffing things into his mouth, while complaining about his life, complaining about his ex-wife, complaining about his daughter who would only ask him for money, complaining about his miserable life, Mark couldn't help but say: "Mr. Davis, you let you see the stunt of eating and talking at the same time." ”
When Martin heard the sarcasm, he immediately became a little embarrassed and embarrassed, and said, "Oh my God, you think I'm a nasty nag? Oh my God! ”
Giselle hurriedly said: "Martin, Mark is kind, he is afraid that you will choke, Mark, do you say?" Giselle said as he poured Martin full of wine.
Mark had no choice but to say, "Yes, especially since you haven't recovered now, and I apologize if what I just said embarrassed you." ”
Martin was happy again, and said: "I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape today, you know, because of the nature of my work, every moment of every day is confidential, I have to keep my mouth shut, it's best not to speak, I'm usually silent, and I don't have any friends, today I saw two friends who can confide, I can't help but say a few more words, it's very rude." ”
Mark was skeptical, and he was reticent, but he soon believed it again, and while they were eating, Meghan arrived in a hurry, and sat down on her own, drinking the red wine that Giselle had poured her, and Martin did not speak again, and cut the steak and drank the red wine by himself, like a gentleman who pays great attention to dining etiquette.
Mark and Giselle were amazed.
At this moment, the sound of a car outside the door sounded, and Caroline said, "Kenny, they're here." ”
