Manhattan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the morning, in a café inside the Rockefeller Center building.

After waiting patiently for more than ten minutes, Stephanie Seymour finally saw Cindy walking in casually with a satchel, so she stood up enthusiastically and took the initiative to greet her: "Hi, Cindy, how are you doing?"

"Very well, what about you?"

Cindy hugged Stephanie Seymour, put down her satchel, and sat down in the booth.

"Not bad," Stephanie Seymour nodded, beckoned the waiter to come over, poked his head again, lowered his voice and asked gossipily, "Do you know?"

"Just give me a glass of water," Cindy instructed the waiter, before smiling at Stephanie Seymour, "What do you know?"

"That's it," said Stephanie Seymour, making a small gesture of nonsense, and then laughing again, "You must know, hey, how are you doing with him now?"

"Very well, but can you stop gossiping like this. ”

Although Cindy's tone was very casual, Stephanie Seymour could clearly hear some of the little woman's satisfaction, and couldn't help but feel a little jealousy. The figure appeared in my mind again, remembering the merciless slap in the last encounter, and in the blink of an eye, I gritted my teeth a little.

"Actually, even if you don't like other men now, it's not bad to be with Linda, why do you want to continue to entangle with him. He's just a playboy, and looking at what he did yesterday, everyone was in trouble to cover up his ugly deeds. Peter had to hold a special meeting yesterday and repeatedly told the heads of several newspapers and magazines under his company not to provoke him. What a little bastard. ”

The waiter brought over a glass of water, and Cindy took a sip and said with a smile: "Okay, don't always speak ill of him behind your back, be careful that he knows to clean you up." ”

Stephanie Seymour subconsciously glanced around, feeling that her reaction was a little embarrassing, so she said in a comfortable tone: "How is he cleaning me up now, I'm not a Victoria's Secret angel anymore." ”

Cindy put down her glass and didn't answer Stephanie Seymour's words again, but said, "What have you been up to lately?"

Hearing Cindy's question, Stephanie Seymour's expression suddenly felt a little lost: "What else can I do, look at the children, occasionally take on some work, I'm about to become a canary now." ”

"I saw the cover you shot for ELLE last month, and you've been in great shape. ”

"I also had a fight with Peter over this cover. ”

"So, he doesn't approve of you coming out to work?"

Stephanie Seymour didn't understand why Cindy suddenly asked, but said, "Men don't all like this, I wish we were confined to the house all day." ”

Hearing Stephanie Seymour's words, Cindy's expression became a little hesitant.

Stephanie Seymour understood: "Cindy, are you looking for me today, is there something wrong?"

Cindy thought about it, nodded her head, and said, "I'm looking for a new host for the American Supermodel Contest." ”

"Huh?!"

Stephanie Seymour suddenly showed a very surprised expression, and what she envied Cindy the most was that the other party was obviously the same as herself, and she had reached the age of retirement, but she still had a popular reality show.

You must know that "America's Top Model Contest" can not only bring Cindy a continuous lucrative income, but also allow her to continue to maintain her popularity, which is the most important thing. Because for models, advertising endorsements are everyone's main income. But only if you maintain your popularity for a long time, advertisers will give you endorsements.

Now, Cindy has taken the initiative to say that she wants to give up her position as the host of "America's Top Model Contest", how can this not surprise Stephanie Seymour?

You must know that although after five years, "America's Top Model Contest" is currently airing its eighth season, but this reality show is still at its peak in terms of popularity and ratings, and the first few episodes of the latest season have been broadcast, the highest number of viewers has still rushed to more than 6 million, and the average number of viewers has also remained above 5 million, which is beyond the reach of all other fashion reality shows of the same type.

Many media have predicted that "America's Top Model Contest" will be stably produced for at least 20 seasons and become one of the longest-lived reality shows.

However, Stephanie Seymour didn't think much about why Cindy suddenly decided to give up her position as the host of the "American Model Contest", but instinctively realized that this was definitely a very good opportunity for her.

So, just for a second, Stephanie Seymour immediately said, "Cindy, you mean, I, you're going to let me try?"

Cindy nodded and smiled, "If your husband agrees." ”

"He'll agree," said Stephanie Seymour without hesitation, adding, "So what should I do?"

"I'll have to be honest first, Fanny, you're just one of the candidates. Although I won't be hosting it myself, I'm still going to be the producer, and I don't want to mess up the show, so if you're interested in joining, I hope you can cooperate with the recording of a demo episode to see the effect first. ”

Stephanie Seymour was a little disappointed, but she knew that even she would do the same, so she quickly nodded, "No problem, Cindy, I'd be grateful if you could let me try." Well, that, can I ask, why are you doing this?"

Cindy shook her head, "I'm not in a position to say it yet. ”

"Oh, forget it then," Stephanie Seymour didn't really care much about it, she was more concerned about how to get this opportunity, and after a moment's consideration, she added, "So, Cindy, can you tell me what I should do?"

"Well, I'm afraid it won't work today," Cindy said, looking at her watch, "It's almost time for me to go home." ”

"In such a hurry," said Stephanie Seymour, "do you have any guests?"

"No, it's just, um," Cindy hesitated and smiled, "Go home and watch TV." ”

"I don't know what you're thinking," Stephanie Seymour said, thinking Cindy was joking, "Can I go and see it then?" I heard you bought a nice apartment, and I haven't visited it yet. ”

"Okay, but we need to hurry. ”

Stephanie Seymour didn't hesitate, and the two women left the café laughing after settling the bill.

It's close to 10 o'clock in the morning, and usually by this time, housewives have already dropped off their working husbands and school-going children, and after taking care of the day's chores, they can sit leisurely in front of the television to pass the rest of the morning.

Therefore, the premiere time of "Oprah Talk Show" is 10 o'clock in the morning.

Of course, unlike the TV series with a syndicate cycle of several years, "Oprah Talk Show" will be repeatedly rebroadcast on dozens of mainstream TV stations in North America and even overseas in just two days after its premiere, which is also the most intuitive manifestation of the strong influence of "Oprah Talk Show".

Leaving Rockefeller Center, the two women drove two kilometers north along Madison Avenue to outside Cindy's apartment building on 75th Street.

Pulling into the parking lot and entering Cindy's penthouse through the internal elevator, Stephanie Seymour couldn't help but look around with some envy: "You're awesome here." ”

After changing her shoes, Cindy took Stephanie Seymour to sit down in the living room, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, and when the time was still there, she walked to the small bar in the corner of the living room, intending to prepare a pot of green tea for the two of them, and said with a smile: "You still have to envy me here?"

Stephanie Seymour's husband Peter Brandt has a net worth of one billion dollars, although he can't compare with the top group of wealthy people, but he is definitely at the top of the social pyramid, and the mansion he owns is naturally no worse than Cindy.

"Of course I envy, it's all your own," said Stephanie Seymour, sitting down on the couch, turning her head to look at her, "If I can make a lot of money like you, I don't want to be attached to a man." ”

"I'm attached to a man, too. ”

"How can this be the same," Stephanie Seymour said again, remembering a certain figure again, "that guy, as annoying as he can be at times, but, well, he's actually a lot better than most men." ”

Cindy smiled: "He's obviously much stronger than all men, you can find a rich man with a net worth of $400 billion and show me." ”

"If I can find a second one, I'll definitely hide it," Stephanie Seymour joked, still unable to help but stammer: "But, 400 billion US dollars, if I have so much money, I really don't know how to spend it, hey, have you ever taken his private jet, I heard that he bought three Boeing 747s at once, what a nouveau riche." ”

"Don't be so sour," Cindy said as she walked over with a pot of green tea, poured it for the two of them, glanced at the TV screen again, and said, "He seems to be claustrophobic, he doesn't like to stay in too small a space, but he needs to fly around a lot, so he changed to a big plane." Moreover, compared to his net worth, a few Boeing 747s are nothing at all, just like if you have $10 million and spend $10,000 to buy yourself a piece of jewelry, which is very common. ”

Stephanie Seymour picked up the green tea that Cindy handed over, felt a little hot, put it on the coffee table again, and said with a smile: "He's not here, why are you always facing him." ”

Cindy chuckled, "It's a matter of position, would you speak ill of Peter in front of outsiders?"

"Whatever you want to hear, I'll tell you. ”

Cindy rolled her eyes, "I'm too lazy to listen." ”

After chatting like this, after another commercial, the iconic opening credits of "The Oprah Show" appeared on the TV screen.

Stephanie Seymour didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when Oprah appeared and began to introduce the guests who were about to appear today, she reacted, turned her head and said to Cindy: "You rushed back to watch him on the show?" Cindy, you are really hopeless." ”

Cindy's gaze had already fallen on the figure that appeared in the studio.

Eric is wearing a very casual light blue shirt and white trousers, slender, smiling, calm temperament but with a little bit of the atmosphere of the big boy next door, handsome appearance plus a series of identity aura bonuses, with a strong attraction to the opposite sex all over his body.

Not only did Cindy's eyes fall fixedly on the TV screen, but Stephanie Seymour was also a little stunned, and the female audience in the studio was completely unaffected by yesterday's news, and let out excited screams again and again.

Eric and Oprah hugged briefly, and they sat down on the couch.

Oprah patiently looked at the screaming girl and young woman at the scene, and waited for a while before she spoke: "Now, I know everyone is very excited, but if this continues, today's show will not be able to continue." ”

After saying this, the audience quickly fell silent amid a burst of chuckles.

When the scene calmed down, Oprah didn't go around the bend and went straight to the point: "Then, everyone must already know." Just yesterday morning, some news about Eric's three children suddenly broke on the Internet. With that, Oprah turned to the side and asked, "Eric, is this true?"

Eric nodded: "About the three children, it's true. ”

"Oh......"

As Eric nodded, there was a low, somewhat lost voice from the scene.

In Cindy's living room, Stephanie Seymour couldn't help but say, "He's so frank, he even admitted it." ”

Cindy just smiled, no interface, her eyes still on the TV screen.

On the TV screen, Oprah also showed an appropriately surprised expression, but quickly said: "So, Eric, you are not married, and you are so young, you already have three children, how does it feel to be a father?"

Oprah's question was asked, and Stephanie Seymour, who was sitting in front of the TV, had a slight expression on her face, as if she had realized something.

In fact, this question is indeed well thought out.

While illegitimacy and illegitimate children are basically the same concept. However, in the concept of most Westerners, the children born to men and women who cheat in marriage are often regarded as 'illegitimate children' with a slightly derogatory connotation. Especially in the modern era when life is becoming more and more open, many couples will have children in advance before getting married, and this phenomenon of having children out of wedlock is more and more, and it is gradually recognized by the public, and both children and parents are rarely discriminated against and criticized by the people around them.

Therefore, Oprah's public point breaking this point is actually a hint.

Eric is not married, but has a child with his girlfriend early, so he does not need to be morally condemned like men who cheat in marriage and have children.

Of course, there are some evasions here, after all, Eric let two women give birth to children at the same time.

In the studio, Eric thought for a moment and replied, "It's more of a father's responsibility, oh, three." However, while I've completely treated Emma as my own daughter, I'd like to make it clear that Emma is only my adopted daughter and not my and Julia's child, and if it were, I'd definitely admit it, just like Kevin and Shaxia. ”

"I know that," Oprah immediately replied, "Emma is the daughter of Miss Roberts' brother, and I saw the news that Miss Roberts adopted Emma, but I wonder why she became your adopted daughter again?"

"Because Julia's situation is not very suitable for raising Emma, she is the kind of big grinning character, and she is very busy with work, and once she even forgot to prepare dinner for Emma, I happened to see it, and I was very angry, at that time Kevin and Xia Xia had just been born, I said, if you can't take care of it, let Vicky and Joan take care of the child," Eric said with a slightly reminiscent expression, smiling: "It turned out to be good, Vicky and Joan took good care of Emma." ”
