Chapter 254: Taking a Risk
Chapter Subheading: The First Step to Notoriety (note 1)
…………………………………………
Thursday, May 26, 1921 at noon.
The location is a luxury condominium on the banks of the Hudson River.
"Miss Moman, Mr. Yuan...... Why hasn't that doctor come back yet? He wouldn't have forgotten to ask us for lunch, would he? ”
Dr. Yuan's female secretary looked up at the clock in the living room, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon.
She had no choice but to turn her head to the guest...... Or a family of four said apologetically: "I'm sorry, his memory has always been very good." ”
"It's just that his Chinese friends saw him off last night, and Dr. Yuan drank a little more, so he stayed in Chinatown......"
She thought for a moment, stood up and walked to the phone and said, "I'll give him a call......"
Of course, no matter how much our Master Yuan drinks, as long as there is Xiaoqiang around him, he can't get drunk.
Of course, our Master Yuan hasn't come back so late, of course, because his old friends are too enthusiastic.
"Aisi, don't fight, I'm back!" At this moment, Yuan Yanqian, who was still wearing a long robe, walked in from outside the door.
After tossing for a night and a morning, he is still heroic, handsome, and domineering.
"SORRY, SO SORRY......" Master Yuan took off his top hat when he entered the living room, bowed to the Laike and apologized, "My friend, I've kept you waiting for a long time!" ”
Everyone in the hall also stood up, and the man stepped forward to hug him, and instead of being unhappy, he said with a smile: "Congratulations on becoming a doctor, my doctor Yuan." ”
"Hey, a doctor."
Yuan Yanqian patted him on the shoulder, answered casually, and then turned to the hostess of the family: "This is your wife, right?" Sure enough, it's a well-known beauty in Boston! ”
"Nice to meet you......" he said, taking the little hand and kissing him, "Mrs. Kennedy." ”
"I'm glad to meet you, Dr. Yuan......" Being complimented by such a handsome guy, Mrs. Kennedy also liked it in her heart, but ......
"Huh?"
It turned out that our Master Yuan suddenly shook off Ross Fitzgerald Kennedy's little hand and went straight to the two little boys that the couple had brought with them.
He bent down, showed an expression that was unique to Shu Huang, and said with a smile to his six- or seven-year-old brother, "You are little Joseph." ”
Kennedy Sr.'s eldest son was born in 1915 and died in 1944 at the age of 29. If this naval pilot had escaped death like Bush Sr., according to the strength of the Kennedy family, he would definitely be able to become the commander of US imperialism like his younger brother and comrades-in-arms.
Then he turned his head and looked carefully at the four-year-old boy in a small navy children's outfit and said, "Then you must be John Fitzgerald Kennedy!" ”
"Neo, how do you know their names?" Kennedy Sr. couldn't help but ask, surprised.
Yuan Yanqian turned around and asked in surprise, "Joseph, have you forgotten?" You told me the names of your two sons. ”
He subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Kennedy's abdomen, and said secretly in his heart, I also know that you will have another son in more than four years, a short-lived son, Robert Kennedy.
"LITTLE JOSEPH, CALL ME UNCLE, AND GIVE YOU CANDY."
Master Yuan picked up JFK and pinched the chubby little face, thinking that this child was really cute, no wonder he had harmed so many beauties later.
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, turned his head and said, "Aisi, hurry up and take out the camera and take a picture of me and the Kennedys!" ”
Hearing her boss's command, Miss Morman had no choice but to pout and act as a photographer for the time being.
"Smack!"
And so a famous photo was born!
"Ladies and gentlemen, this photograph was taken in 1921. The one in the Chinese caftan was Mr. Neo Yuan, and the little child he was holding with a sad face was JFK ......"
"This picture has been hanging here since JFK entered the White House......"
—From the White House tour guide's introduction.
"Wow, Mom, I want Mom ......" The future US imperialist commander was played by Seris's weird Shu Huang for a long time, and finally couldn't stand it anymore. Not only did he cry, but he also stretched out his hands to his mother.
"Dr. Yuan, I'm sorry." JFK's mother took the child and coaxed, "Don't cry, be good, don't cry......"
Yuan Shu touched his face in a daze, and said to JFK's father, "Joseph, let's have a pre-dinner bar first." ”
"Okay." The latter naturally had no objection, "I just have something to ask you." ”
The two entered the study, he took the whiskey handed over by Yuan Yanqian, took a sip and asked, "Neo, there is something you must tell me truthfully." ”
"Joseph, the greatest virtue of my person is honesty." Our Master Yuan said a little unhappily, "So I will definitely tell the truth." ”
"That......'s good," said Kennedy Sr., putting down his glass, "Neo, I've heard that the filming of "Orphan Girl of Famine" didn't go very well. And this shooting cycle is inevitably too long, it's almost two months! ”
That's right, two months was definitely a long time for the 1921 film.
And as a successful businessman, Kennedy Sr. must have arranged a channel to get news from Maine.
"What, you're worried that you won't get back those tens of thousands of dollars?" Yuan Yan looked at him with a smile and said, "Actually, David's side did not go well at first, but I have solved the problem......
He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Joseph." This film is destined to be a success, so successful that you can't imagine it! ”
"Really?" JFK's father stared at the Chinese's eyes for a while, and found that the other party was very calm and did not waver at all.
Only then did he nod and said, "I believe in you, Dao Ke Tuo Yuan!" ”
"Hahaha......" Master Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed: "Mr. Kennedy, believe me, that's right! ”
He suppressed his laughter and asked solemnly, "My partner, what about what I told you to do?" ”
"Neo, I'm already connected with Dublin...... old Kennedy hesitated again, "but are you really going to do that?" It's dangerous! ”
“OF COURSE! And I'm risking that to make our Famine Orphans the most profitable movie in history! ”
Yuan Yanqian explained with great interest: "Joseph, just imagine, if ......"
"No, it's ......"
"When the time comes, you will still worry about the Americans...... No, don't people all over the world go to see our movie? ”
JFK's father listened to Master Yuan's plan, his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and finally he couldn't help nodding fiercely, waved his fist and said, "It's done!" ”
His brain was hot, and he blurted out: "When the time comes, I will also go to Ireland myself......"
“VERY VERY VERY GOOD!”
"Mr. Joseph Patrick Kennedy, I was not mistaken about you!!"
"You, an Irishman, are indeed qualified to be my Khitan...... The partner of the Serisians!! ”
Our Master Yuan raised his glass high and said, "For the cause of the liberation of your Irish people......"
"And for our destined success......"
“Cheers!”
“Cheers!”

PS, don't guess, patients, the name of the Jiang couple was "fabricated" by Murong and will appear in the future, but if you are interested, you can also try to submit it.
