Chapter 67: Implicit
He didn't say anything at the party on the weekend, and Matthew didn't force him, but when he was in contact with Paramount's people, he asked a sentence that made Matthew walk away with a smile......
At the party, country music that is very suitable for Matthew's taste is played slowly, in this luxurious house, everyone is holding a wine glass and whispering to the people next to them, when the weekend follows Matthew out of the crowd of people out of the study, a man in a gray suit greeted him and accosted: "Mr. Zhou, hello, my name is ...... Our company would love to work with you to adapt ......"
"Mr. Zhou, given your popularity and the popularity of the case, believe me, Paramount will definitely invest a huge amount of money to make it a big production, and now I can assure you that one of Brad Pitt, Leonardo, Tom Cruise, and Mark Damon will be the leading actor in this screenplay......"
"Mr. Zhou?"
"Is there anything you don't like about the price? This is already a very high price, all we need is for you to tell the screenwriter the truth about what happened, of course, if, I mean if, if you are willing to cooperate with the heroine in the film to create some scandals, the love story between Los Angeles detective and Hollywood beauty will definitely attract many people; If, or if, at the end of the filming of this movie and about to be released, you are willing to 'break up' with the actress who once created the scandal on Twitter and scold each other, of course, this may affect the public image, but we are willing to increase the amount to the point where it is enough to compensate you for the loss......"
Standing opposite this man on the weekend, he suddenly asked, "Wait a minute, what are the housing prices in this area?" ”
Paramount was dumbfounded by the weekend's over-the-top question: "SIR, WHAT DO YOU SAY?" ”
"I said, what are the housing prices in this area?"
It was at this moment that Matthew smiled, and then left silently.
He didn't say anything on the weekend, but he still slept on the floor of his bachelor's apartment every night!
After the party. After leaving Matthew's house on the weekend and returning to his home in Chinatown, he immediately snatched the notebook from Yoda's lower abdomen, which was sitting on the couch with his legs on the coffee table, and the first thing he opened was to check the prices of high-end residential areas in Los Angeles.
Yoda, with a bath towel wrapped around his head and a bitten apple in his hand, stared at Weekend with squinted eyes, as if to say, "I've been at a party, I'm so bold!" ”
It's just that all this weekend was turned a blind eye. He slid the mouse to pull down the page, and kept reading the various prices: "1.4 million, 1.27 million, 1.15 million, 1.6 million...... 1,600,000 ...... One million six million. ”
This house is so small, although the living room, bedroom, toilet, and kitchen are all available, but the single apartment for five people is cramped and depressing anyway.
The moment he raised his head and looked at his home on the weekend, he was stunned, and almost at the same second he broke free from his thoughts, because this room had changed.
The various references that covered the coffee table disappeared. On the second floor of the coffee table, there is an archive box, which is densely tiled with those materials; The dusty TV screen that had been smeared with chocolate by Christy was clean, and the sock under the TV that was so obsessive to the eye that she never wanted to pick up on the weekend was gone; He turned his head to see that the kitchen that had never been used was no longer a battlefield that Roger had created to fool his younger siblings, and when he got up and walked over the weekend, he saw that there was no more tomato juice and leaves on the cutting board, and no more cut bread crusts in the trash can......
Is this your home?
Weekend walked to the toilet a little incredulously and pushed the door open at the same second. Roger, who was sitting on the toilet, was holding a magazine full of ******** portraits and clutching his crotch, with a terrifying expression on his face: "Hey! ”
Some of the key positions that can't be pressed when they stand up proudly are very embarrassing. But the problem is, if you press this thing down at this time, it hurts!
But this exclamation didn't shake the weekend, the toothbrushes on the sink were neat, the toothbrushes of the three little ones were freshly changed, and the towels were put on instead of littered......
"It's not my style." After muttering to himself on the weekend. Suddenly remembering something, he said to Roger: "This lesson tells us that when the toilet door lock is broken, some private things need to be done after everyone has slept. ”
Roger's face is green!
How can you take care of him on the weekend?
When I walked out of the toilet, I sat back on the sofa with a stomach full of words but never knew what to say: "What did you do?" ”
Yoda looked at the weekend with the eyes of a madman: "Of course not. ”
"I'm taking a nap at noon, and guess what? Some unusual sounds rang out. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the broom was sweeping the floor by itself, the water in the kitchen was flowing out on its own, and all the dishes and chopsticks were flying over and spinning in circles to clean themselves. ”
With that, Yoda looked at Weekend's dumb expression and responded with an even more dumb and very incoherent laugh, "Ha, ha, ha...... It's not funny at all. ”
The weekend was as silent as a gourd, on the one hand, the only place in the world that suited him best, on the other hand, the work environment where he could be dressed in shoes at any time, and the most serious problem was that Yoda's house might not be covered by insurance, Lambert's death and Yoda's escape from a mental hospital, and Roger's underage ......
He should have thought about it, and when this kind of big thing needs to be decided, everyone has to think about it, but the hands unconsciously picked up the laptop again, and the index finger clicked on a house with a price tag of $1.6 million almost without control.
A villa in Pasadena, Los Angeles is shown on the screen, this villa is located in the Pasadena villa area, with shady trees on the roadside, intact green belt and a swimming pool suitable for a family to play in the water, and two parking spaces in the garage with moderate spacing from neighbors...... Inside, the living room, kitchen and dining room on the first floor are all available, and the second floor has five bedrooms and four bathrooms......
It's like it's just for him!
After looking at the house over the weekend, he looked at his feet again, then at Yoda again, and finally returned his gaze to the villa, and then, with his idle hand, he could not stop reaching for the phone in his pocket.
"Don't."
Yoda suddenly uttered a word and looked at the weekend as if he understood something.
Weekend stopped and asked, "Nothing else?" ”
"Whatever it is, don't do it, I can see that your next dilemma was not so upset when you faced the patrol in Lambert's bedroom."
Weekend laughed: "I just bought a house for myself, what do you think?" ”
He smiled indifferently on the surface, insisted on keeping the smile on his face, and with that hand, he took out the phone from his pocket steadily, dialed Matthew's phone number and said, "SIR, you haven't rested yet." ”
"I'm waiting for your call."
The smile on his weekend face was a little more bitter, and he didn't like the feeling of being calculated: "OK, you won." ”
"Congratulations, as a Los Angeles police detective, you have made a huge amount of money in a legal way......"
Toot, toot, toot.
I didn't let him finish talking on the weekend, and hung up the phone without giving face, once a person who always calculates others is calculated, it feels like he can hear Matthew's laughter on the other end after hanging up the phone.
Turning his head, he continued to say calmly, "Look, I'm just ......" He wanted to say that he just touched a pie falling from the sky, but remembered that Yoda didn't know that Paramount had come to him.
At that second, Yoda, who saw this man holding on, was touched, a girl who had no home since she was a child and had to take care of a man she didn't know called her father saw a man who didn't say anything want to buy a five-bedroom and four-bathroom house, she had never felt this kind of feeling.
What neither of them knew, however, was that when a man chooses to carry hardships on his shoulders and settle down on the meaning of the Lord without hesitation, the warmth he generates is enough to melt any darkness. (To be continued.) )
PS: This chapter has been written in two editions, the first edition is gorgeous, the writing is very good, but I always feel that there is something missing, uh, it seems that I don't boast so much; The second edition is very ordinary and plain, but when I finished writing and reading it, I always felt that I could extend a lot of things, so I was happy again
