Chapter 1: The Embarrassed Youth

Next Chapter

"Hey man, are you interested in being an actor?" When a young man in his 20s, dressed in white short-sleeved and brown trousers, came to the side of his car parked on the side of the street and was about to open the door, a voice came.

"Huh?" He turned his head a little inexplicably, and what appeared in front of him was a man between 25 and 30, wearing a suit and smiling, looking like a successful person.

"Hello, I'm Frederick? Rogers, the agent at Endeavour Elite Agency, you can call me Frederick or Freck. The other person held out his hand, "Do you like acting?" ”

"It's fine," the young man didn't shake his hand, but smiled strangely, a little self-deprecating and helpless, "Listen, while I know that my stuff is much bigger than the average person, I have no interest in your movies!" ”

He said this, very seriously, and Frederick, who claimed to be his agent, was stunned for about two seconds, and then burst into a daxiao, which made the young man frown.

"Sorry man, I didn't mean to offend," the agent who noticed this hurriedly stopped laughing and pulled a business card out of his pocket, "I can totally imagine how annoying those guys are, but trust me, I'm not like them, I'm an employee of a very formal brokerage company." ”

Probably because his tone was very sincere, the young man finally took his business card in disbelief, and in addition to his name, it was the name of the company - Endeavor Elite Agency.

"Although our company has only been around for just over two years, it is definitely no worse than any other big company, and several of our founders have held senior positions at ICM. Do you know ICM? The full name is an international innovation management company, one of the most well-known brokerage companies in Hollywood. The other man continued, and although his tone was still sincere, it was somewhat ...... Well...... The feeling of those salesmen on TV.

"Your name is Sean, right? Sean? Tang Dynasty? Frederick continued, "I was at the bank just now, and I saw your performance, it was very exciting, have you ever acted before?" ”

The young man named Sean didn't answer, just rubbed the business card, his gaze wandering between it and Frederick's.

Frederick seemed to see something, and didn't say anything more, but reached out and patted his arm: "Our company is on Beverly Hills, Mr. Tang, if you want, you can come and have a look; We also have a dedicated website, if you have a computer and surf the Internet, you can get a general idea of the Internet first. Consider thinking about it, and if you change your mind, give me a call. ”

With that, he smiled and turned to leave.

Sean still didn't speak, and after seeing Frederick go away and get into his car and start, he withdrew his gaze and pouted, seemingly a little smug but soon turned into a wry smile, if it wasn't really helpless, how could he quarrel with the people in the bank again?

Well, to put it simply, Sean is currently in a very embarrassing state, and four months after he arrived in Los Angeles, he only has a few dollars in his pocket, except for the used car in front of him and some personal belongings in the apartment.

So, after finishing the job at hand this afternoon and getting a check for $600, he rushed to the bank to cash it out to solve his urgent needs.

What I didn't expect was that the damn bank actually suspended the check exchange business on the grounds of system upgrades, what the hell, you must know that today is Friday, if you can't exchange it, then eating will be a problem in the next two days, and it's almost five o'clock in the bank, and it's too late to change places.

Anyone would inevitably be thrilled to encounter such a thing in such a situation, not to mention that Sean, who had had an extremely difficult four months, immediately seized on the fact that the bank did not give an obvious reminder in the lobby that the check could not be exchanged and made a big fuss.

"This is your dereliction of duty, if I had seen an obvious announcement to every guest who came in when I came in, because the system upgrade was temporarily unable to provide check exchange services, I would definitely not have come in! But you didn't, you didn't send the message clearly, so you are primarily responsible for the whole thing! ”

"Listen to me, ladies and gentlemen, as customers of the bank, it is in our right to know whether they can handle a certain business or not. Therefore, the bank has the obligation to tell every customer who enters the bank in the most obvious and direct way when it cannot handle certain business, instead of making us spend time and wait for it to be told that it cannot be done! Like the gentleman just now, he may have really needed to exchange the cheque urgently, because the bank was about to close for business, and tomorrow was the weekend, but the derelict bank did not hesitate to refuse. A philosopher once said that wasting someone's time for no reason is tantamount to murder, and it may be too much to say that now, but the bank must give us an account, right? ”

He preached this in the lobby, and his excited expression and waving arms infected many people who were doing business at the bank, and there happened to be a few who were angry because they couldn't exchange checks, and suddenly became a little angry.

However, the bank's response was also very fast, and the lobby manager quickly came out to reassure everyone, and after a short communication with the teller, he admitted that the responsibility was on his side, saying that he could make an exception for everyone to redeem.

"Guys, will you listen to me? I hope to be able to report to Mr. Philip and the bank daoqian in your witness, although the main responsibility for this matter lies with the bank, but I am not calm, and it is also a fact that I disturbed the order, and you have handled it very well, so I should also ask you daoqian. I'm also very happy to be able to do business with them, they have shown me what a responsible bank should do, and I will continue to support them, and I am sure everyone is the same. ”

After finally getting the money, Sean said this in public, although he was only 18 years old, he was definitely not the kind of reckless stunned young man, he knew when to do it - well, most of the time.

If he hadn't been forced to do so, he wouldn't have acted in such a way that might have attracted the police, so since the bank was so generous, he didn't mind touting it, even if he might not come here again in the future.

And he is very confident in his acting skills, he has played the leading actor or supporting actor in the club many times in high school, and has also won awards in national competitions - group.

Sean was so easily able to put himself in the shoes of someone else, just like he had just been, a client who had been tormented by the bank's unfair tactics, which resonated with those present and cheered for him - God knows, this was his first time at the bank.

So, the lobby manager had always had a professional smile when he came out to calm the situation, but after Sean said such a thing and won the applause of the people again, he was a little more sincere and enthusiastic.

Again, it wasn't surprising to be caught up by the guy who claimed to be an agent. Sean met this kind of person more than once in his four months in Los Angeles, and after posting a few words of chat, he said, you look good, are you interested in being an actor, and then ......

In short, after going to the so-called set of those people because he didn't know much about it, he basically met these people again, and although he was currently extremely embarrassed, he was not yet to the point of becoming a pornographic actor.

But this guy is much more presentable than those guys today. Sean, who looked at the business card again, said this in his heart, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally put it away, and then started the car.

The door opened, and a few minutes later, Sean, holding two paper bags and hooking the keys with his little thumb, cautiously walked into his apartment. However, halfway through the game, he suddenly stopped, frowning as if he had forgotten something, and just as he remembered it, his eyes widened and he was about to react, when a black shadow swooped up and slammed into his head.

"Polk, wait, Polk......" As Sean yelled, a paper bag fell to the ground with a thud, and some groceries and a few cans rolled out.

At the same time, a small dog the size of two palms with yellow and white fur lay on his bent arm and licked his face with his tongue very affectionately.

"Enough, you little bit, enough!" After Sean closed the door and put down the paper bag in his "attack", he was finally free to hold the puppy in his arms and teach him a lesson.

The puppy barked loudly, opened its mouth from time to time to bite his hand, and seemed to be happy when he kicked his limbs.

After playing like this, Sean let go of this little bit and held it up in front of him: "Did you make trouble at home today?" Don't shake your head, if I catch you peeing again, you're dead, Bock! Finished eating? Oh, look at you, you're such a picky eater, well, eat these obediently, and as a reward, I'll give you a big meal. ”

Holding Polk to check the room, Sean handed the remaining uneaten canned dog food to it, but the puppy turned his head to the side without looking, and then jumped out of his arms, jumped out of the fallen paper bag and came to the unpacked can, sniffed twice, and then raised his head and barked at the owner twice.

"Ha, should I compliment your nose, Pock? The can smells before you even open it. Sean looked at the little one with amusement and anger, the check for $600 temporarily solved the urgent need, so he bought some more hode dog food by the way, but he didn't expect this guy to abandon the original one immediately.

Sean wanted to hold on a little longer, but looking at Polke's wide, innocent-looking eyes, he could only sigh and open the can for it.

When he pushed it in front of him, the greedy little thing buried his head in and ate it, and his tail wagged around, and he seemed to be very happy.

The dog was picked up on the side of the road two months after he came to Los Angeles, and was put in a small box on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, which was quite small at the time, and seemed to have only been born for a long time, dirty and messy, if it wasn't for Sean's kind kind way to pick it up, it would definitely not last long.

So, the recovered little guy is very close to Sean and looks pretty good, Shepherd or Harehound? Although there is a dog at home, Sean still can't tell the difference, in short, it is very cute and obedient, I really don't know what the guy who threw it is thinking.

However, if it weren't for the fact that it cost a lot of money to register, register, check his body and vaccinate Bock, Sean would not be so embarrassed by now. Then again, even without that support, he would have held out for two more days at best.

Sean laughed self-deprecatingly, looked around, and saw that there was only one room plus two mini kitchens and bathrooms, almost more than 200 square feet, and the monthly rent was $300. A bed, two chairs, an old sofa and a small coffee table, an acoustic guitar and a simple wardrobe, then an old computer, plus that broken car, that's all he has at the moment.

"I'm probably the most embarrassed reborn." He said this self-deprecatingly.

With a low sigh, he took out the pizza and beer he bought, and after a few sips, he suddenly stopped, then sat down in front of the computer, turned it on, surfed the Internet, took out his business card and entered the URL.

"Want to try it?" Looking at the indeed very formal web page, and thinking back to the guy's sworn words this afternoon, Sean, who rubbed his chin, asked himself hesitantly.
