2089. Chapter 2089 2089 Sally Fund
"In February, you went to see Sally?" Jessica and Hugo walked side by side, and suddenly remembered the bouquet of roses that they saw in front of their daughter's tombstone at the end of February, the petals had not completely withered, and it could be seen that it should have been placed recently. Jessica's first reaction was the man next to her, but she never asked for verification, and when she thought about it today, she asked casually.
The smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth was a little more bitter, and he hooked it lightly, and said in a brisk tone, "Yes, Valentine's Day." I think there must be a lot of suitors for Sally, and I have to make a strong statement about my presence. ”
Although Sally has been dead for a year, Hugo has never forgotten the little girl with a big smile. Many times, Hugo imagined how touching the smile on Sally's face would be if she were still alive, seeing the success of Glory to Death, and seeing the children she was helping with the Sally Foundation.
Jessica had expected it to be Hugo, but her eyes were still slightly hot at this time.
Hugo always seems a little unreal in front of the camera, and as Hugo's achievements become more and more incredible, there are only a lot more negative news about Hugo, but it doesn't break out as exaggerated as before, just like Michael Jackson at his peak.
Jessica remembers reading a New York Post story that said that Hugo used the "Sally Foundation" to make money, and deceived the young volcano in the name of fans, but actually stole the foundation's funds to participate in the stock market and seek more profits. At the end of that article, they swore that Hugo's assets were now more than a billion dollars.
When Jessica saw the news, she was almost outrageous, and she wanted to rush to the New York Post's headquarters in New York and smash their office. Because only those who really know Hugo know how vicious, how shameless, how degrading it is to slander and slander and how degraded it is.
Since then, whenever anyone tells her about the New York Post, she will absolutely scoff at it, even arguing with the other party, and firmly draw a line between herself and the New York Post.
Although Jessica never really spoke to Hugo, and the topic of Sally between them was not taboo, it was only a superficial taste every time, as if it was a scar that was difficult to uncover and still difficult to unravel. But Sally knew one thing: when they went on the "Twisted Tour" last summer, they never sang "Don't." Look。 Back。 In。 Anger)" song.
Hugo always remembered Sally in his own way. Jessica always knew that.
People saw glory to death, people saw a rock 'n' roll revival, people saw "twisted tours...... But Jessica saw the real Hugo in Sally's eyes. Jessica knew why Hugo was in charge of all this, not Nirvana, Pearl Sauce or Oasis, not because Hugo was better than them, but because Hugo had always kept a pure place for his dreams, a realm that no one could violate.
Therefore, Jessica joined the "Sally Foundation", not to supervise the operation of the foundation, nor to ensure that the foundation is used in a proper way, but because she wants to do her part, a small force. Now, Jessica is the organizer of the Sally Foundation.
In the past year, Hugo has invested more than $30 million in the Sally Foundation – contrary to what the New York Post said, Hugo has no profit at all in the foundation, but has continued to invest money. In Hugo's words, "These are all benefits from society, and now they are given back to society".
"Truman's World" received more than $40 million in remuneration for Hugo, and after deducting up to 50% of taxes, it was only more than 20 million, but Hugo still planned to invest all this money in the "Sally Foundation", hoping to help more children.
At Hugo's behest, the Sally Foundation raised more than $100 million last year – one of the most important examples of Hugo's current influence in the United States. Part of the funds are used to help children treat diseases, and part of the funds are used to promote medical research and development, including the purchase of advanced equipment for children's hospitals, and the "Sally Foundation" alone has helped more than 300 children, which can be said to be a remarkable achievement.
In addition, as far as Jessica knows, Hugo has also been investing in the "Twist Tour", for which he has invested more than five million dollars. Although there are countless sponsors willing to inject advertising into the "twisted tour", which Hugo can be a money-making weapon if Hugo wants to, in order to ensure the purity and focus of the tour, the glorious to death team members turned down all sponsorship - just handed over the naming rights to Vance.
Not only Hugo, but the other members of the Glory to Death also invested a lot of money in the "Twisted Tour", and they even set up a "Twisted Tour Foundation" - just for the tour, so that the bands that did well during the tour had the opportunity to release their own albums, of course, not big companies like EMI Records, just to provide them with equipment and money to complete the recording of the album, and then provide it to the truly loyal fans during the tour.
Including Pearl Sauce, Nine Inch Spikes, Radiohead, Green Day, etc., they have also contributed to the "Twisted Tour Foundation".
One sees a strong resurgence in rock — and many album sales are not visible on Billboard and at major record stores, but not on the efforts of rock bands like Glory to Death.
As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Hugo has always been in a place that people can't see, giving back to the society in a more direct way with the love and support he has received.
There are always countless news about Hugo in the press, and Hugo's name can be read in the newspapers five days a week. But the irony is that Jessica never read the news about Hugo's focus on charity, as if Hugo had never done any of these things - this is the media, and five percent of the upper class is focused on charity, which is a matter of course, so there is no need to report it at all; On the other hand, if the 5 percent is stingy with charity, they will be eager to criticize it.
Although Jessica agreed with her daughter's idea a long time ago, and she really liked the band Glory to Death, it was only after she really got in touch with Hugo that Jessica knew that Sally not only liked Hugo, but also admired, admired, and admired. This also allowed Jessica to truly understand the mood of Sally's last moments of life, Sally was happy, happy, and perfect, and for Sally, the years of following the "Storm" tour were the most shining moments in her short life. So, when Sally left, she had no regrets.
This relieved Jessica and allowed her to let go of her grief and move on with her life, with Sally's memories. Because Jessica knows that Sally will always be in her memory, in the melody of "don't be upset about the past", vividly lived.
"Trust me, you'll always be Sally's first choice." Jessica showed a shallow smile, and Hugo was a little embarrassed when she said, "By the way, you will be happy to know the news, Paul has found the right heart, and he can go to the operating table tomorrow." ”
"Really? Oh God, that's the best news I've heard today. Where is Paul? I didn't forget to bring him Peyton Manning's signature football. Hugo's mood couldn't help but brighten, and his face was full of bright smiles.
Paul Vic Vick), a six-year-old boy who spent his entire childhood in the hospital due to severe congenital heart disease. Hugo met him last year before the start of "The Sixth Sense", and later took him to the crew to visit the class, and this sensible little boy and Haley became good friends.
Unfortunately, Paul never waited for a suitable heart transplant, and after three disappointments, his parents almost collapsed. Even Hugo, an unrelated bystander, couldn't bear it. Hugo arrived in Indianapolis yesterday to prepare Paul's Easter present — Payton was selected by the Indianapolis Colts in last year's draft and was the top pick in the draft — which led to this morning's absence. I didn't expect to get this good news today.
"Paul had to stay in the hospital today to prepare for the surgery." Jessica looked at the forgetful Hugo, couldn't help laughing, and reminded.
Hugo patted his forehead, "Then can I visit him in the hospital later?" Or does he need a break? ”
"I think Paul would love to see you." Jessica finished speaking, and then she saw the smile on Hugo's lips bloom completely, like a child.
While speaking, the two of them had already walked to the small stage - it was a small stage, because this stage was only three steps high, and a group of children stood under the stage, and Charlize and Leonardo stood on the stage, as if giants had come to Lilliputian.
Then Hugo saw Charlize and Leonardo, singing loudly along the nursery rhyme disc in the tape, and carefully comparing the dance moves in their hands, but the two of them did not have any sense of dancing at all, but like a group of demons dancing, and the children under the stage were laughing and laughing, and two little girls were standing on the stage, sitting on the correct stage movements one by one, trying to guide the two clumsy adults back to the normal track—but obviously their wish was impossible to come true.
Seeing this scene, the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth rose slightly, and the cold of early spring slowly spread like ripples in an instant.
