Chapter 107: The Princess's New Love
When Thorin and I returned to the banquet hall side by side, we were already close friends for many years. Thorin also changed his address to me, no longer calling me "young man", but "my friend".
The subtle change in this title at least shows that he no longer looks at me with condescending eyes, but truly treats me as an ally of the same rank.
Old Thorin was very warm and even very intimate to me. He took the trouble to walk me around the venue twice, introduced me to many powerful people, and later, he even made some jokes with me.
"Oh, my friend, you see, you are so young and handsome...... The girls just like young and handsome young men. Aha, you don't have to be shy, Weiwei is not by your side now. ”
I hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. Sorin, I think you must have misunderstood, Miss Yang Wei is just a good friend of mine." Our relationship is not what you think. ”
"Really? So it looks like I'm misunderstood...... In that case, I don't think you have to worry about anything, come on, my friend. I'll introduce you to some pretty girls. He looked around with a smile, and said to me in a tone of tacit understanding between men, and said with a low voice: "Chen Yang, look, there are all kinds of beautiful girls here. Aren't you interested? You know, my old Thorin's party is very famous in Canada. I couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous in my heart, but now it is the honeymoon period of my relationship with Thorin, I can't refuse his kindness, after thinking about it, I looked around, and then pointed to a beautiful woman in a flaming red sè off-the-shoulder evening dress standing in the distance: "That lady, I really want to look a little familiar......"
The beautiful woman in the distance was facing me at a forty-five degree angle. And I have to say, after I just glanced at it, there is no doubt about it. This is the most amazing girl I've ever seen in the audience!
She has a soft golden hair, and the fiery red evening dress also completely highlights her xìng posture. Of course, what attracted me the most was her face. European and American women generally have more facial contours, and their facial features look good from a distance. But when you look closely, you will find a lot of flaws. But this girl, her face is actually a jīng zhi that I have never seen before (as opposed to a Caucasian girl). Plump lips, blue eyes. Straight nose bridge...... Plus with a slightly childish smile......
There is no doubt that this should be a beautiful woman, I stared at her twice, and then I heard the old Solin next to me laugh and say, "Oh, my friend, it seems that you pay little attention to the entertainment industry." ”
"Oh, is she a star?" I couldn't help but look at this beauty twice, indeed, she has a temperament that can attract people's attention.
Thorin smiled. He beckoned and raised his voice, "Oh, Jessica, dear, what are you doing here alone?" Then he led me towards the beautiful woman.
I was a little embarrassed, but I quickly calmed down, after all, I'm not the kind of hairy kid who has never seen a woman. This beauty has a pair of very attractive big eyes, and she doesn't wear heavy makeup, so I was surprised that her facial features are still so jīng when you look at it up close.
"Alright my friend, let me introduce you, Jessica Alba, the most beautiful baby in Hollywood. Jessica, let me introduce you, Canada's most promising young man now, the future magnate, the real master who controls our West Coast Vancouver, Mr. Chen Yang. ”
This beauty was obviously a little surprised, those beautiful eyes looked at me twice with a curious taste, probably curious, with the identity of Sorin, would actually introduce me to such a young Chinese in such a solemn tone. But she soon smiled calmly, showing her white teeth shallowly: "Hello, please call me Jessy." With that, he stretched out his hand to me.
Her hands are soft and her skin is good...... I was also surprised. Because Western women's skin looks very fair, but most of them are actually rough to the touch. This Jessica's hands are weak and boneless, and her skin is as smooth as a cow.
I coughed, touched my nose, and smiled wryly, "Miss Alba, have I seen you?" Why do I see you so familiar? ”
Jessica smiled?? The way she laughs is really charming. I noticed that there seemed to be several men not far away who were looking here, and it seemed that someone was about to come over to talk to me just now, but when I saw Thorin standing here, they all wisely did not come.
"Chen Yang, it seems that you don't often watch movies. Jess is the most promising newcomer at the moment, huh...... By the way, have you watched Fantastic Four? Old Thorin smiled.
I smiled wryly: "I'm sorry, I really don't usually watch movies, and I don't pay much attention to the entertainment industry." ”
Jessica smiled aptly, "Well, Mr. Thorin, I'll be embarrassed if you continue to say that. Then she winked at me and smiled, "Chen...... Well, are you Chinese? ”
I had just nodded when Thorin had already made a casual excuse and walked away.
"So, you're a movie actor?" I was still very curious about her, because she was really beautiful, and there was a strange mischievous smell in her beauty. You have to feel strange that in a mature body full of seductive flavors, there is such a bit of innocence and naughtiness, this strange temperament is undoubtedly the most attractive place in her.
"Yes. What about you? What do you do? Jessica seems to be very calm, and it seems that she is very experienced and very skilled in dealing with men's accosting.
"Oh, I'll do a little business. I live in Vancouver and happen to be working on a business with Mr. Sorin right now, which is why I came to Toronto, and I have the pleasure of meeting you here. ”
"Oh......" Jessica's eyes fluttered, and the smile on her face was even more charming: "Do business with Mr. Thorin...... see
Looks like your business is not small. ”
I don't want to talk too much about me, I can't say to a glamorous and moving beauty that I'm an underworld, and I'm doing murder, arson, smuggling, and crime, right? So I smiled casually: "What about you?" It must be fun to be a movie star. ”
Jessica had a hint of gloom in her eyes, and her smile was also clouded with a hint of yīn, which seemed less bright, but as an actor. She still smiled casually: "Why not?" But it's actually very simple, I'm just acting in movies and taking pictures. Then I did the styling in front of the camera, and then took the check and went back to buy myself a sports car and a villa...... You see, it's actually very simple to live like this. I'm here for the promotion of one of my films. But I'm going back to LA tomorrow, and today is my last night here. ”
We talked casually for a while, and I noticed that she didn't like to talk about herself too much. In particular, I don't seem to be willing to talk about her films, but I am interested in me, after all, I have yellow skin and black hair. All made her curious. The fact that a Chinese appeared at such a hierarchical banquet and was entertained as a guest of honor by the underground king of Canada, Thorin, had to make her interested in me.
I'm still curious about Hollywood, which is recognized as the world's largest concentration of movie dream works. I talked to Jessica for ten minutes, and at the end, Jessica looked at me and was silent for a while, and then suddenly smiled helplessly: "Oh God...... How many circles do you have to go around with me before you ask me out? ”
I was stunned for a moment, a little surprised by her boldness, and Jessica looked at me. There was still a charming smile on his face, and there was a bit of mischievous flavor: "Hey, you're really the most lame pick-up I've ever met...... Are you Chinese so reserved? If you just want to come and talk and ask me out, then just ...... Ask me out, ok? ”
I touched my nose and I felt a little embarrassed, "I think you misunderstood, Jace...... I was just...... Well, I didn't mean to pick you up, oh, I mean you're charming and beautiful, but I didn't mean to strike up a conversation with you, I was just curious about you, and I was standing there just now and I felt like I had seen you somewhere, so I wanted to come over and talk to you, it's as simple as that. ”
"Oh......" Jessica winked at me...... I have to say that when she blinks, this action makes her look a lot like a Barbie doll: "I thought I was an unattractive woman in your eyes...... But you are very strange, because you look good, you are very handsome, and you should be very rich, why should a man like you attend such a banquet without a female companion by his side? Even if you don't have a female partner, you should be able to easily find one here. But you don't seem to be interested in me. ”
I'm a little speechless...... American women are so bold, maybe a little uncomfortable for Orientals, but American girls are generally so xìng, which is caused by culture.
"Uh...... Actually, I have a female companion. I smiled, but I quickly retorted, "What about you?" How can a beautiful lady, a beauty like you, attend such a banquet without a gentleman by her side? ”
A hint of depression flashed in Jessica's eyes, but then she smiled: "You see, I'm a lady, and a lady has the right to refuse to answer questions, so I won't answer your questions for the time being." After she finished speaking, she laughed in a low voice: "If you just said this sentence to go around and ask me if I am single...... I can tell you that I am, of course, you can't tell these words. ”
A cute, straightforward girl. I smiled.
At this time, I saw Yang Wei coming from afar, and I still had something to say to Yang Wei in my heart, so I immediately explained to Jessica, planning to say goodbye, and when I was leaving. I thought about it for a moment and took out a business card from my pocket, which are a few of my special personal business cards, and I don't carry a lot of them with me. And it won't be given casually. I pulled out one and handed it to Jessica, "Alright, I'm leaving." I like your xìng grid a lot, I hope we have a chance to be friends, this is my call. ”
Jessica took it with two fingers and glanced at it, and the business card only had my name and a phone number on it, and there were no titles or information anywhere else, and it was very simple to make.
The corners of her mouth curled slightly, revealing a charming smile. Then she looked at me with a charming eye, right in front of my eyes, her business card between her two fingers. casually inserted into the chest of her evening gown—the part that was close to her towering chest.
Seeing my floor level being closed by her in this "close-fitting" way, this action made me want to spray nosebleeds...... Jessica smiled at me, "I'll call you, goodbye." ”
As I turned away, I felt my heart beat a little faster.
I exchanged glances with Yang Wei from afar, and then we walked to the bottom of the castle. A slightly quieter place.
"I thought you were negotiating-for-tat with old Thorin, but I didn't expect you to have the leisure to talk to beautiful women." Yang Weidi's tone was obviously mocking, and there was a hint of sourness. I know. She must have seen me standing with Jessica.
"Oh my God, does a man have to strike up a conversation when he talks to a beautiful woman?" I smiled wryly, "You see, it's just that Thorin introduced me to a girl...... Well, but she's a funny person. ”
"Jessica Faye Alba, known as the most beautiful vase in Hollywood, is ranked No. 1 among the world's most sensible women by Male Xìng magazine...... Don't you have feelings for her? Yang squinted her eyes slightly, she smiled, but her smile was full of ridicule.
"I know she's a star. But I don't think she's happy. I shrugged my shoulders: "You seem to know her well...... Well, is she famous? ”
"It's hard to say." Yang Wei thought for a while: "To be precise, she is currently in a very awkward position. This beauty
Once known as the new generation of 'Sweetheart Honey' in the United States, in 2005 it was recognized by all critics as the most promising newcomer! But here's the problem, when she was named the most promising newcomer, she was actually twenty-four years old. This is a very embarrassing age, now in the United States, little girls who become divas at the age of ten abound, and she is twenty-four years old, and she is only a 'newcomer', and now she is twenty-six years old, two thousand years ago she was called the most promising newcomer, but today, she has not made any convincing achievements. She doesn't have any movies that are popular and popular, well, her two best-grossing movies are Fantastic Four and the sequel, but these two movies have been scolded by critics for being worthless, and even if they are these two box office blockbusters, she is not the absolute protagonist in them, these two movies are group dramas, and the four protagonists share the audience's eyeballs and attention and roles...... She didn't get a chance to take the lead. And apart from this, she didn't have any other film works. Now she's twenty-six years old, but she's still hovering between the first and second lines, and you know, in Hollywood, the replacement of female stars is very fast......"
I couldn't help but sigh and stared at Yang Wei: "How do you know so much?" Do you know her well? You're not going to be a fan of her, are you? ”
Yang Wei smiled faintly: "I'm like you, I rarely watch movies, but before I came here, I had already studied all the guest information in Sorin's banquet." She looked at me, "But you, seem to be very interested in her?" ”
I immediately shook my head: "No, no, I'm not the 'interest' you think, well, remember what you told me about asking Thorin for a ......"
Speaking of the business with Solin, Yang Wei also put away his mood of ridiculing me, and said, "How's it going?" ”
"Hmm...... The results differed significantly from our previous estimates. I sighed deliberately.
Yang Wei began to frown, but she immediately comforted me: "Okay, even if we lose some, forget it." I know it's hard to deal with a ruthless old fox like Thorin...... Alas, and his appetite is so great, we have estimated that we will give him a maximum of five percent of the shares, I am afraid it will be really difficult to satisfy him. Even if you have to give him more, it doesn't matter...... Well, it's just that we have to think about the remedy after that. ”
Looking at Yang Wei's frowning and thoughtful expression, I suddenly felt a touch of emotion in my heart...... Alas. This girl, she's helping me so wholeheartedly! When the emotion filled my earth, my brain suddenly became hot, and I made a somewhat intimate action...... I reached out and gently pinched Yang Wei's nose and said with a smile, "Thank you, Weiwei." ”
Yang Wei's pretty face turned red all of a sudden, and she looked at me in surprise, she seemed to want to hide, but she didn't move, just her eyelashes were trembling slightly. Looking at me, there was shyness and curiosity in his eyes. A few more ...... Well, it's something inexplicable that makes my heart throb......
I coughed, quickly retracted my hand, and disguised, "You misunderstood, I didn't let Thorin take advantage of anything. In fact...... I got a much better result than we expected! ”
Yang glanced at me faintly, she immediately smiled, and said casually: "Oh...... Let's talk about it. What the hell is going on? Although she tried her best to pretend to be calm, the fluttering eyelashes betrayed the tension in her heart!
"Ahem...... I didn't dare to tease Yang Wei, and smiled: "Okay, Sorin is willing to invest 10 million in our company at a price of five percent of the shares." ”
"Well, five percent." Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "This number is not bad, it turned out that you had seventy percent, and after giving my uncle fifteen percent, now give five percent to Thorin." Then you still have 50 percent in your hands, and you already own half of the company's shares, so you can at least consolidate your control over the company. However, we also need to be wary that in the future, when the company is on track, they will propose to make additional investments and then dilute your shares...... You know, if you invest more, whether it's my uncle or Thorin, they're much richer than you......
"No, no, Yang Wei, you listen to me." I laughed, "Thorin did take five percent of us, but I made a deal with him...... In other words, he will sign a proxy agreement with me! In other words, the 5% he gets is still handed over to me to take care of, and he will not become a decision-making interferor in the company, he just gets dividends every year. And this five percent is still under my control!! ”
"......" Yang Wei was silent for a second, and this time she was really surprised: "What!!! ”
She almost screamed out of control!!
However, she quickly lowered her voice, but she still couldn't control her excitement: "What did you say? Would he like to sign a share proxy agreement with you? Do you know what this agreement stands for? This means that he has given up the right to use the five percent!! In other words, for him, this stock is almost equivalent to a 'dry stock' that has no influence on the company!! His only right is to sit at home every year and wait for the dividends and profits! without any influence on the company's decision-making! Oh, my God! How did you do that? How did you get him to do that...... This kind of ......" She thought for a long time before she finally said helplessly: "This crazy, ridiculous decision?? Is old Thorin crazy? This is equivalent to him throwing 10 million yuan at you for nothing!! ”
I looked at Yang Wei, who had gradually calmed down, and threw out another bombshell with a smile: "I haven't finished yet...... He was willing to support us with 10 million dollars in cash to buy the 5 percent stake...... At the same time, there's the company you mentioned earlier! He was also willing to give us as part of the deal...... In other words, he used 10 million in cash, plus a company, in exchange for 5% of the shares of our Huaxing company...... And it's still a dry stock that doesn't have any control over the company! ”
Even though Yang Wei is incomparably wise and calm and superhuman
, and couldn't help but fall into shock at this moment.
After a long time, she took a deep breath and looked at me with incredible eyes, her eyes were filled with infinite surprise, and she bit her lip hard: "Winter Five...... You, how did you do it?! ”
I looked at the more and more people around me and whispered, "Let's go back and talk about the details...... Well, I have a great idea that came to me right now about that company...... It's that Miss Jessica Alba just now, isn't she famous in Hollywood? Isn't she the most beautiful vase in Hollywood? I don't care if she's a movie actress or not, but she's a well-known star, and that's right for our new company...... It's useful. ”
Looking at Yang Wei's expression, I really felt a little proud in my heart...... Really, it can be shocking to this woman who has been holding me down steadily in terms of IQ, I really feel good!
After speaking, I smiled at Yang and said, "Now you believe me, right?" I'm not talking to a beautiful woman, I just suddenly think that this female movie star might be very useful for our new company in the future...... You see, I'm not the kind of man who is boring. ”
Yang breathed a sigh of relief, she was completely shocked by me today!
But my good mood didn't last long. Then, a voice came right in front of me.
"Chen Yang! Ah, I saw you here. My dear little lover, long time no see......" Then, a bewitching figure walked over, with a seductive smile like a fox jīng, and long curly hair, it was the one who was actually a slut, named Princess, Thorin's baby daughter, Her Royal Highness Princess Sophie.
She saw me and Yang Wei standing together, with a hint of unnaturalness in her eyes, but she quickly walked over and looked at me, obviously gritting her teeth, but squeezed out a smile: "Chen Yang, long time no see!" ”
I know that this princess resents me very much, and the last time I came to Toronto, I ended up rejecting her...... Well, women are very vindictive.
But the princess's eyes suddenly flashed, and she smiled: "Ah, I just saw you, but I have a surprise for you...... You see, I recently met an old acquaintance of yours. ”
Then, the princess dodged away, and I saw three girls standing behind the princess, all of whom seemed to be the princess's female companions, and the princess smiled unscrupulously: "You see, they are all my treasures, and they are my closest lovers now......"
Hmph, I almost forgot that this princess is still a double xìng lover who does not refuse men and women.
However, when I saw the first of the three girls on the left behind the princess, I was stunned!
The black sè's hair is obviously straightened, the facial features of the Oriental people, the originally delicate face is covered by makeup again, and the long eyelashes are the masterpiece of the makeup artist at a glance......
Ni Duoduo!
My face sank immediately. This girl, how did she get together with the princess!! But looking at the princess's smug face, I immediately understood.
Revenge, this is the princess's revenge on me!
Seeing my surprised expression, the princess seemed to be very proud, she deliberately laughed twice, then turned around and grabbed Ni Duoduo, and hugged her affectionately, and held her in her arms...... Turned around and looked at me like a demonstrator: "Chen Yang, look, you must remember her, right?" Duoduo, why don't you say hello to your old friend? ”
Duoduo's face was sè wooden, the moment she saw me, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, but then it dimmed, her expression was very stiff, she glanced at me, immediately lowered her eyelids, and then said lightly in an almost unfamiliar tone: "Chen Yang...... Hello. ”
