"Are you almost done? I'll call a taxi after eating. ”

Gu Mojie swallowed the last crayfish pie in his portion, wiped his mouth, and took out his mobile phone to book a taxi. While calculating the time, I wanted to see if I could get to Hollywood before two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

In the United States in 2004, it was naturally impossible to have Uber, but there was a telephone ride-hailing business.

Feliro was still eating gracefully and slowly, as if she didn't hear Gu Mojie's question clearly.

They were lucky when they picked a restaurant, and this French restaurant has a strong Spanish brand, which is probably due to the unique cultural fusion of Los Angeles. In the seafood gratin, there is not only the cheese aroma of French snail baked, but also the crispy crispiness of Spanish iron plate paella.

Gu Mojie saw that Fei Liluo didn't answer, so he dialed the taxi number himself. Hearing the ringtone from the phone, Fei Liluo came back to her senses, stretched out her hand, and helped Gu Mojie pinch the phone.

"I haven't finished eating yet, are you in a hurry?" Feliro said quietly.

"No...... Not in a hurry. I'm not afraid that I won't be able to go to Hollywood today. Gu Mojie was slightly stunned, and seeing that Fei Liluo's face was a little resentful, he explained additionally, "I said that I would accompany you to Hollywood, of course I don't want to delay." ”

Feliro put down her fork: "Then let's go." ”

Gu Mojie: "What? Didn't you just eat enough? ”

Felilo: "It's better to help you complete the task early, so you don't have to worry about it all the time." ”

As she spoke, Feliro wiped her mouth, picked up her bag and got up first.

Gu Mojie didn't have time to react, so he could only follow first. After walking dozens of steps on Sunset Boulevard, he came back to his senses.

"Xiaoluo, I don't think it's a task to play with you, and I like it too. I was just anxious to help you fulfill your wish. ”

"All I want is for you to be with me. As for where I go, I don't care – the dirt under my feet is Hollywood or not. It doesn't matter at all. ”

When Fei Liluo said this, Gu Mojie was speechless, gritted his teeth, and turned off his mobile phone.

"Okay, I don't call any car, I'll go with you wherever you want. We don't have a destination today. I'm tired of walking and I'll carry you. ”

As he spoke, Gu Mojie naturally hugged Fei Liluo's slender waist. This evil action, in the past half a year, he has done it to Lu Wenjun many times, and he is familiar with the road. Impetuous and impetuous, he doesn't bother to think about the consequences at all.

Feliro's heart tugged and she took a few deep breaths slowly, without any resistance.

Sunset Boulevard itself is one of Hollywood's top attractions. To be precise, it's an artsy street that connects Hollywood to the heart of Los Angeles. Attractions that are often mentioned in many blockbuster movies. Beverly Hills, for example, is on both sides of Sunset Boulevard.

In addition to attractions and movie studios, Sunset Boulevard is lined with recording studios, which is why Hollywood insiders nickname it "a row of guitars". Countless young, hard-working actors, singers, and artists in other fields will gather here from all over the United States and even the world to look for opportunities.

From the French restaurant where Gu and Fei had lunch, to Hollywood. It's a dozen miles away. Feliro kicked on her high heels again, and she didn't walk far before she felt a little soreness in her feet. However, she cherishes the feeling of shopping with Gu Mojie. And he didn't want to stop.

"This jewelry store is quite chic, do you want to go in and have a look?"

"Hey! There's a photo on the front of the handmade clothing store! Even Celine Dion is a customer of their store, so why don't we go in and have a look? ”

Along the way, Gu Mojie threw out similar suggestions several times, but Fei Liluo dismissed them lightly. This kind of scene is really unimaginable to outsiders: in this world, shouldn't women play the role of shopaholics?

It's time to climb Beverly Hills. Feliro couldn't walk at all, so she found an open-air café and sat down on the side of the street.

The gathering area of grassroots musicians represented by "a row of guitars" is almost over; The Beverly Hills in front of you are all rich areas for Hollywood bigwigs.

Ice on one side, fire on the other. Up Beverly Hills, pampered and lucky. Plus in one. Wandering outside, you can only wait for a qualification to be dived.

Not far away, there was a band of several blonde girls, performing casually to themselves, the box of the electric guitar behind them, clean inside, not a single piece of green paper, apparently the owner of the guitar did not want to be seen as a street singer, but waited for the music producer to show up.

But if someone really threw away a few big bucks in the past, most of them would still secretly collect it.

Fei Liluo was accompanied by Gu Mojie for so long, and she was in a happy mood, and she had the urge to share the joy of doing good. She took her coffee, poked Gu Mojie, pointed to one of the punk female singers across the street, and said:

"Jay, do you think that girl who plays the guitar looks like Avril Lavigne, who only debuted last year? I look like I'm going to be younger. I didn't expect Hollywood to be so cruel in a place like Hollywood, so many people squeezed here with their heads broken and bloody, and they became famous so many times a year. Sometimes I think about it, compared with Internet entrepreneurship, these industries are really 'one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither'. ”

"Who is Avril? I don't recognize it. ”

Feliro was speechless for a while before she said, "Then you don't care who Avril is." I don't think it's easy for them, or I'm going to sneak a few hundred dollars in the past? ”

"Don't." Gu Mojie simply refused, and then felt that he seemed to be too arbitrary, and added, "But I won't stop you." If you want to give, give it. ”

"Then I won't give it either." Feliro was a little frustrated. In fact, she is usually a cold-faced and cold-hearted person, and she never gives kindness. It's just that today I followed Gu Mojie to Los Angeles to live in a two-person world, and I was a little dazed in my heart, and I wanted to do something good to comfort my soul.

Although the money was not given, Feliro was still entangled in her heart.

Half a cup of coffee in my stomach, my feet hurt and almost stopped, seeing that the few girls performing on the street opposite were still unattended, Fei Liluo tilted her head and asked Gu Mojie: "After other rich businessmen are developed, they all like to be charitable and do charity or something." There are also some people who like to believe in feng shui and worship a master even if they don't do charity. How did you rise so quickly and never thought about it? ”

"Why should I have this idea?" Gu Mojieqi said. I also think this is quite incredible.

After tilting his head and thinking for a long time, Gu Mojie seemed to have a little knowledge of this interesting question, and sighed:

"Maybe it's because I'm not used to being a 'rich man'. I feel like I'm 'a pure person, a person who is detached from low tastes'. Obviously entered the rich class, and is still judging the people and things around him with the three views of the middle class. People are rich, but their hearts are not rich.

Foreigners who do charity. What kind of mentality, what cultural background, I don't know, I can't say much. However, the garbage of the domestic letter master, I can figure out eight or nine points - it is nothing more than a weak heart, knowing that I have used shady means to rise, and I am afraid, I have to do something good to accumulate virtue;

Second, it's a little better than the first type. I didn't do anything obvious, but I just relied on luck to succeed. There may be dozens or hundreds of times more people who can work as hard as they do. But those dozens and hundreds of people did not succeed, and in the end, they coincidentally combined the white bones under the feet of the successful people, and the successful people will naturally feel lucky. ”

Fei Liluo didn't expect this building to be crooked to such a biased topic, and originally wanted to crook back. But Gu Mojie's final conclusion made Fei Liluo's three views a little unacceptable. couldn't help but argue:

"So, do you think that the master believes in Feng Shui. Are they all incapable and rely on luck to succeed? ”

Gu Mojie waved his hand indifferently: "I didn't say they are incompetent." How can you do it without the ability? Even if there is an opportunity, only those who are prepared can seize it. The problem is that it's useless to have skills, you have to have a chance. I heard that Ma Feng of the Ahri Group believed in the master, and he must have thought in his heart every day: I am a capable person, and I am also prepared, but I am a capable and prepared peer like me. There are at least dozens or nearly 100 of them in the country, why did I get Sun Zhengyi's 20 million investment in the first place? ”

As he spoke, Gu Mojie stood up and stretched in the direction of the setting sun. Sunset Boulevard is elevated near Beverly Hills. So despite the twists and turns of the road ahead, you can see the sun sinking into the horizon at the end of the road.

"That's why I don't believe in any master of Feng Shui. I'm not like those who succeed; is not only different from Ma Feng, but also different from Brother Xiaoma, Boss Li, and Zuckerberg.

My success is inevitable, and I don't need any luck. Any venture capitalist, any client, even if I don't meet it, I can still succeed. Even if I can do it all over again, let me read back to two years ago, the opportunities are all messed up, and I can still succeed once. People like me believe that God has a fart; Leave it to those cowards who succeed by foresight. ”

After coming to the United States, Gu Mojie, who had never smoked, suddenly felt a little nostalgic and bought a cigar from the café owner. It's a place where artists gather, and coffee shops have these things ready.

Looking at Gu Mojie's sudden burst of self-confidence, which was between talking and laughing, Fei Liluo's heart seemed to be strongly impacted. This man is not a man whose success can be measured by money.

For the first time, Feliro felt ashamed in front of Gu Mojie. A kind of shame in character and bearing.

It was a good man, but she was destined to be just a woman who was not exempt from vulgarity.

Feliro pulled out her purse and pulled out a whole stack of green pieces of paper inside, not counting. Then he pulled up the collar of Xiao Kan's shoulders to cover the lower half of his cheeks, and rushed to the back of the grassroots female singer who looked like Avril on the other side of the road, and stuffed the whole stack of money into the gap in the guitar case.

It seems that after doing this action, Felilo's heart will feel a lot more steady. It seems that after doing this action, no matter how lucky grace she gets tonight, it is also a blessing from God, and she can accept it calmly.

After stuffing the money, Fei Liluo jumped back in a few steps, hugged Gu Mojie's neck, and said in a good mood:

"IT SEEMS THAT IT IS TOO LATE TO VISIT HOLLYWOOD TODAY, SO LET'S CLIMB TO THE TOP OF BEVERLY HILLS, TAKE A LOOK AT THE HOLLY-WOOD SIGN FROM AFAR, AND FIND A HOTEL TO STAY."

Gu Mojie didn't break free, stroked Fei Liluo's middle black straight point, and said lightly: "I listen to you." ”

The two walked forward side by side, but the wandering female singer behind them, who looked quite like Avril, caught up with them with her guitar on her back, rubbed her hands, and gritted her teeth and shouted to stop them.

"Hey, kind young lady. You...... You were not wrong? You've given three thousand dollars. ”

Feliro smiled back and replied in English, "Take it, it's not easy here." ”

The blonde girl didn't give up, biting her lip and asking, "So, may I ask you which famous studio is the music producer?" Do you think we have a future? ......"

"Sorry, we're not from any studio, and we're not scouts. I just feel the need for someone to share my happiness today, nothing else. ”

The blonde girl in the shape of Avril Lavigne dragged the bunch of Franklin, watching Felilo's graceful figure, swaying like a willow branch in the crook of Gu Mojie's arms, and slowly walked towards the montage hotel on the top of the slope. (To be continued.) )
