Chapter 222: Self-slap in the face?
A sudden phone call interrupts the moment of affection between the grandfather and grandson, and when Layla turns on her phone, she sees an unfamiliar number appear on the screen.
"This is Leila Moran. She answered the phone.
"Hello, Director Moran, I'm Hunter Ford of Amex. It was a respectful-sounding male voice on the other end of the phone. "I don't know if you have time lately, but I'd like to visit you. ”
Lyra's eyes narrowed, and her expression darkened, but it didn't show in her voice, and she maintained the same tone as she had started: "Hello, Mr. Ford." You're looking for me because of Charlize Theron?"
"You're such a straightforward person. Yes, it's because of Miss Theron, and I hope I can explain it to you. ”
It's probably the first time that Hunter has met someone like Leila, although Westerners are much more straightforward than Easterners, but some things that are inconvenient to say explicitly will also be mostly hints, and no one can put things on the table like Leila in the second sentence.
"If there's anything you want to explain, say it now, I'm listening. "Leila isn't in the mood to waste a lot of good time with those people. With something to talk about, something to say, who has time to play the game of "hello, hello, hello, everyone" with them?
"Huh. The other party let out a hearty-sounding laugh: "Director Moran, I think you must have some misunderstanding about the people in our company. So if I had that privilege, I would like to explain it to you in person. ”
Lyra's eyes darkened, and the person seemed to be very interesting.
"Oh well. Leila said the address of a nearby café: "Tomorrow at half past two in the afternoon." I hope you can do come up with an explanation that is reassuring to me. ”
"Of course, thank you for your leniency, and I look forward to meeting you. ”
When I hung up the phone, I saw my grandfather's curiosity.
"What's wrong? Who? What's the explanation?"
Leila doesn't want her grandfather to intervene in this matter, this is her business, she still wants to deal with it by herself if she can solve it herself, and it is really not too late to move the old man's Dinghaishen needle out when she can't solve it herself.
"It's nothing, it's just some work matters, don't worry, I can handle it. ”
Osveld stopped insisting when he heard her say this: "Alright, let's go down." If you don't go down, your grandmother will come up and ask for someone. ”
"Okay. Leila smiled and walked out of the study with her grandfather's arm.
The next day, guessing what the other party would say one night, she showed up five minutes early in the café that she had promised yesterday. As soon as she saw the door, she saw a man walking towards her.
"Hello, Director Moran, I'm Hunter Ford. It's an honor to meet you. He made an inviting gesture and led her to a quieter spot inside.
After sitting in the chair he had pulled out for himself, Leila observed the man in front of her who was ordering coffee from the waiter. He looked like he was about thirty-four or five years old, with gray-brown eyes and hair, and was dressed in a well-fitting suit, and he looked like the kind of person who would not be rude when he walked into a first-class banquet at any time.
"What do you want to drink?" he asked Lyra.
Leila didn't look at the menu: "Let's have a cup of tea." ”
There are probably not many people who go to the café to order tea.
"Is black tea okay?" the waiter seemed a little surprised by her request, but this is a first-class rich area, and meeting the requirements of any rich person has long been their aim, so they will still prepare tea or something, but not many people will come to drink it.
At this time, it is not yet a later generation, the United States is still dominated by coffee, and if it were the United Kingdom, her request would not seem so outlandish.
Hunter didn't seem surprised by Leila, who invited him to the café but wanted to drink tea, as if he hadn't paid attention at all: "Drinking tea is better for health, and Director Moran's lifestyle is really healthy." ”
"If you've grown up in a hospital bed, you feel like you can't take your health too seriously. Leila took a sip of tea and replied nonchalantly.
If Claire hears her say this, she will probably want to record it with a tape recorder so that she can broadcast it to her later when she forgets to sleep and eat for the movie.
Conscious of your health?
Maybe there is someone like that, but it definitely won't be her!
This ability to open her eyes and tell nonsense has been used by Leila perfectly. The face is not red and breathless, and no matter who sees it, they will not think that she is talking about it.
"Director Moran, in fact, I came to visit this time because I thought there might be some small misunderstanding between you and our company. Seeing her straightforward attitude, Hunter also chose to directly identify the contradictions between the two sides.
Leila smiled slightly, "You mean, you want someone from my company to accompany one of your customers to 'make friends'?" she deliberately accentuated the word "make friends", and deliberately said it in a playful taste. The fire contained in it can be deeply sensed by anyone who is not dull.
She was really angry, and originally thought that after she explained that Susan had passed the word, the two sides would press the matter down, as if it had never happened. Unexpectedly, the people of Yuntong not only did not give up their ideas, but also came to the door in person.
Who gave them the confidence that she would trade the precious artist in her hand for the favor of a certain powerful person? Who gave him the courage to run in front of her and dare to bring up the old thing?
Of course, Hunter felt the anger that rushed over him at her, but he just smiled helplessly: "Director Moran, I want to apologize." It seems that your misunderstanding of us is already very deep. Since I will appear before you, with the sincerity of resolving this misunderstanding, won't you give me a chance to explain it to you personally?"
This guy is really funny. The city is deep enough, and it also has enough bearing not to be shocked. Leila narrowed her eyes and restrained her anger a little, "Okay, just say whatever you want, I want to know what kind of misunderstanding there is between us." "Misunderstanding a ghost! Obviously she has already been bullied, and she dares to say anything about misunderstanding!
Hunter has a very gentle appearance and a more gentlemanly demeanor, which makes it easy for him to be trusted by others from the outside. And when he smiled, the demeanor of that elegant mature man was even more attractive.
"Director Moran, people all over the world think that you have extraordinary talent, and believe that in the near future, you will use your hands to create a film empire of your own. So, you should know that we at Amex will not have a rift with a customer with such potential as yours under any circumstances. ”
"Thank you so much for watching. Lyrapi tugged at the corners of her mouth with a non-smirk, clearly not taking his words to heart.
I've done everything, and I'm still here saying that I won't have a rift with her, is this the rhythm of slapping myself?
