402 Breakup is like cooled coffee
Howard. After Hughes left, Situ Nan glanced at Rose and stopped talking.
When the two were alone, the atmosphere was not as active as just now, but a little awkward, they had broken off contact for a long time, and it felt a little strange to meet again.
Situ Nan knew why, this was because of the awkward relationship between the two, when he was on the other side of the Pacific, he missed Laura and the children on the American side, and rarely thought of Rose, probably because he didn't love her deep enough.
I'll worry about Laura's ideas, but I'll never worry about Rose.
Is the same true of Rose?
Maybe somewhat, she probably felt something similar.
According to the information Situ Nan received, when she was away, Rose seemed to be close to a certain man.
"Going out for a walk? I know there's a new café nearby, and it's a nice environment. Rose asked with a slight smile.
"Good!" Situ Nan nodded.
Hollywood entertainment is developed, along Sunset Boulevard, the most is not a film company, but a variety of hotels, inns, bars, cafes, to the door of the café, walking past a row of palm trees, looking at the big green signboard at the door of the café - Starbucks, Situ Nan smiled dumbly.
The heart said, what a coincidence!
Obviously, although Situ Nan has never been to this café, he knows that he has an inseparable relationship with Situ Nan as soon as he looks at the name, except for Situ Nan, who knows the meaning of the word Starbucks.
"It's a nice atmosphere, it's quiet and clean, you can sit all day with a cup of coffee, and writers who are strapped for money like to run here, so it's not uncommon to meet some well-known playwrights here."
Rose led Situ Nan in. She explained to him with a smile.
Looks like. She loved it here. I come often.
"Opening a store in this place where every inch of land is scarce, the owner here is either a fool who is about to go bankrupt if he has too much money to burn."
Situ Nan said with a smile.
"It would be a pity if it was closed, I would rather believe that he has a lot of money." Rose nodded, there were so many people sitting on it, and this café probably didn't make much money.
The two of them found a quiet corner and sat down, and soft background music sounded in their ears.
"There are also some unknown tunes played here, which are very nice and good. Our company wanted to buy these tunes. However, he was rejected without hesitation. ”
Rose said with some regret and shook her head, "I would rather sign the author of the song, but the manager here always says that he doesn't know." Hell, the owner of the coffee shop probably doesn't want to make money! ”
Situ Nan smiled slightly, picked up the list on the table, and ordered a cup of Sumatra Rainforest, the waiter was a little surprised, few people knew about Tropical Rainforest.
In recent years, as Starbucks has spared no effort to promote Sumatran coffee. Sumatran coffee is becoming popular in the United States, forming a competition for South American coffee. The fragrant cat poop coffee has become a treasure of Starbucks' town store.
There are many people who know about Sumatran coffee, but very few people order the rainforest directly.
No matter how fragrant cat feces are, it is not Situ Nan's taste, he likes the bitter taste of coffee, and the tropical rainforest is a coffee that he designed according to his own taste with a large number of glass instruments in the Meihua laboratory.
It's said to be popular with engineers in the lab, but of course, the bitter taste isn't as popular with Americans with a sweet tooth.
"The taste is quite authentic, it really comes from the rainforest."
Situ Nan took a sip, smiled faintly, and saw that Rose looked at it with some curiosity, which can be regarded as answering Rose's question just now, Situ Nan said, "If you count the low FOB price of Sumatran coffee, the cost of Starbucks imported coffee is still relatively low, but you don't have to worry about it losing money." Maybe people open cafes, the main purpose is to promote Sumatran coffee. ”
"I almost forgot, you like Sumatran coffee the most, you just came back from Asia, and you have been there for a long time in Nanhua."
Rose looked at Situ Nan with a smile, and as soon as he reminded her, she was too slow to react before she realized that this coffee shop had more or less something to do with Situ Nan.
The jukebox clicked slightly, a few minutes of discs were placed at the end, and the waiter quickly replaced it with another one.
Rose was slightly stunned, this music was the Titanic symphony she was familiar with.
Situ Nan was in front of him, looking at his familiar face, Rose suddenly remembered the tune played by Situ Nan on the Titanic, and of course, that unforgettable memory, and was suddenly hit in the soul!
……
The music stopped, as if for a moment, and as if it had taken a long time, before Rose came back to her senses, and her eyes fell on Situ Nan's face, with the taste of scrutiny.
"I didn't expect them to rip this tune out of my collection room as well."
Situ Nan lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, raised his head to meet Rose's gaze, paused for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think of him again?" ”
Rose nodded, her face pale and sad.
"I'm sorry!" South Szeto Road.
"Don't be sorry, you didn't do anything wrong, it's me who should say sorry." Rose shook her head, shook off her sadness, stared at Situ Nan, her gaze slowly firmed, "Perhaps, maybe you've heard about some of my recent things, and I'm ......"
"Met another man you can trust?"
Situ Nan smiled, and when he saw Rose's speech, he directly helped her say it. "Yes!" Rose nodded, seeing that Situ Nan's eyes were gentle and calm, she was not surprised, nor angry, she was a little surprised, but also a little relieved.
"Yes, you're thirty too! It's time to plan for yourself! ”
Situ Nan nodded, looked at the woman in front of him, and felt a little emotion in his heart, she was still beautiful, she had seen her performance in the past few years, and it was her soul that was more mature than her appearance.
Rose is not Kuzdova after all, and she is finally going to take the initiative to find her future!
If you can't give her a complete life, why can't you fulfill her?
Moreover, Situ Nan found that he didn't love her too much, maybe it was from the Titanic plot, or maybe it was greed and beauty, leaving each other with a good memory.
But a few years down. Situ Nan didn't even spend much time waiting by Laura's side. There are even fewer days with Rose. The original feelings that were not deep will naturally fade, and they will naturally disperse.
In this regard, Situ Nan had a premonition.
Rose has a wealth of life experience, not the little girl who was carried away by love at the beginning, since she thinks a certain man is reliable, Situ Nan does not ask about the situation of that lucky guy.
Of course, he knew the situation, but there was no need to arrest that guy and beat him.
Maybe it opened the knot. Rose relaxed, and seeing Situ Nan's tepid appearance, she gave him a blank look and complained, "Stoney, your generosity makes me happy, but also a little lost." I think I made the right choice, you bastard doesn't forbid me at all! ”
"Okay, I'm going to make that guy suffer right away!" Situ Nan's face turned pale.
"No, you can't!" Rose said anxiously and hurriedly dissuaded Situ Nan. I didn't expect this guy's face to change.
"Alright! I'm not going to let that guy suffer! Situ Nan spread his hands helplessly and said with a smile. You see, that's my attitude. ”
Rose immediately realized that she had been deceived by Situ Nan, of course, she didn't dare to verify whether Situ Nan was lying to her, Situ Nan's words made her feel a little, it turned out that he still cared about his feelings.
But he refused to admit defeat: "Cunning guy, you can act better than the company's actors!" ”
Isn't it too tiring to live a life if you still have to act in this matter?
Situ Nan thought in his heart, Rose's performance just now strengthened Situ Nan's decision, he was already over thirty years old in his heart, and he had already passed the state of mind of hunting and chasing, and he was more of a shoucheng emotionally.
"In short, you are special, the only one - a friend!"
South Szeto Road.
"Friend!" Rose chewed on the word carefully, perhaps for a long time to come, and now the question before her was her own work, and the arrangement of William's films.
Rose offered to resign from the film company, but was politely rejected by Situ Nan, who asked her: "Do you leave Hollywood immediately, or do you have any thoughts of leaving Hollywood?" ”
Rose shook her head, she hadn't figured out where to go for a while.
"Since you don't have one, then you can take care of the film company! After all, the company also has your share, and although your ability performance is not as impressive as Mayer's, it has greatly exceeded my expectations. ”
South Szeto Road.
With the assistance of Fox, Rose managed the film company well, and with sufficient financial and technical support, William Film became a Hollywood tyrant, but Meyer's MGM company is the most eye-catching film company in Hollywood today.
was compared to Meyer, Rose was not disappointed, even if she continued to work in the film company, she was not embarrassed, Situ Nan and the William family obviously lived in nearby Beverly Hills, but the number of times they cared about the film company was only a handful.
Compared to their huge family business, the twentieth century William Film Company may be less than a fraction of it!
She nodded, and at the same time indicated her heart: "Okay! But I'll give more work to Fox in the future, and if you don't have a problem, the company will hand it over to him in the future! ”
"Good!" Situ Nan recognized, that's right, the Fox in Rose's mouth is the founder of Fox Company, and now Situ Nan has not only copied other companies, but even the founder has been abducted to help him work.
Mr. Fox is also very satisfied with his position at William Films, and Rose has promised him a bright future, and it is not a dream to be CEO and a minority shareholder.
"Both!"
When the coffee was cold, a middle-aged man came to them, only to see him neatly dressed, holding a draft in his hand, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and looking shrewd and bookish.
As mentioned earlier, there are many authors who write in cafes, and the one in front of me is the famous playwright, Rupert . Hughes, who also wrote a screenplay for William Films.
"Hey, Rupert!" Situ Nan hadn't seen him for a few years, but he still recognized Rupert at a glance. Hughes.
"Didn't bother the two of you!" Rupert asked with a smile.
"Nope!"
"We're almost at the end of our conversation."
Situ Nan and Rose warmly invited Rupert. Hughes sat down and spoke to Rupert. Hughes, Rose to Howard. Hughes was much more enthusiastic, and she smiled: "I didn't expect to meet Howard's boy and meet his uncle again, today is really related to the Hughes family!" ”
Rupert. Hughes nodded and said with concern: "I heard him mention it, how about today's test screening?" ”
Rose shook her head.
"That's a shame!" Rupert. Hughes lamented.
I thought: Howard's kid is bent on breaking into Hollywood, which is not easy, and it is difficult to dissuade him, so he can only help him as much as he can, so that he can avoid detours.
Meet Rupert. Hughes, Situ Nan suddenly remembered the script "One Night Romance" that he wrote in Shanghai. Hughes discussed the script for a moment.
Rose listened quietly, and even though the story was set in a different setting, she could still vaguely see the shadow of her past with Jack.
Rupert. After listening to it, Hughes commented: "The story is fresh, there is no lack of excitement, and the most important thing is to test the acting skills of the actors. ”
"Got it!" Situ Nan nodded, what did he say, even if he knew who the hero and heroine were, he didn't have the energy to worry about a movie, and finally entrusted Rupert . Hughes perfected the script and had the opportunity to make the film again.
Back at William's Manor, Situ Nan opened the safe, took out a small box, opened it, and a giant blue diamond appeared, and the light from the Heart of the Ocean was dazzling.
Situ Nan stared at the heart of the ocean, and had a certain idea in the early years, thinking: Why don't you just give it to Rose? This was what would have belonged to her, well, it should be said that it was supposed to belong to the millionaire Hawke Son.
Once upon a time, Situ Nan kept this diamond mainly to keep the chance of a comeback, not to have any fetishes about gold and silver jewelry.
Now, he doesn't buy a hundred of such a giant diamond, and he also has a stake in South Africa's largest mining company, Anglo-American, what diamonds can't get?
In addition to the Titanic complex, this diamond has no meaning of money in Situ Nan's eyes.
Today, when he and Rose got together and dispersed, Situ Nan remembered the stone he had collected.
gave it to her, it didn't hurt at all, but it was a heart-wrenching matter.
But how to explain it?
Will it cause her trouble?
Or don't explain it!
Situ Nan was about to make up his mind when there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and he was shocked, and hurriedly put the diamond into his chest pocket.
At the same time, I was angry in my heart, which one dared to break into his study?
"Dad, what are you doing?"
A little princess in white looked at Situ Nan curiously.
A little bit of anger in Situ Nan's heart disappeared in an instant, it was her baby daughter Alice, this little angel fused the appearance of Situ Nan and Laura, and was smart and well-behaved, Situ Nan loved her more than her son Andy.
"Baby, why are you here?"
Situ Nan asked with a smile, and walked over to pick her up like before, only to suddenly find that his six- or seven-year-old daughter had grown to his waist!
"I saw a big xylophone in the piano room and asked my mother, my mother can't play it, can you teach me?" Alice begged for Situ Nandao.
Situ Nan took Alice's hand and came to the piano room, and when he saw that Alice was talking about the guitar, he showed her a short piece of guitar, and Alice liked it very much and said that she wanted to learn.
Situ Nan agreed, and specially found a few nylon strings from the laboratory to make strings and made a smaller guitar, but Alice played it for a few days, her fingers were swollen, and she shed tears in pain, Situ Nan was distressed, and was beaten down by Laura, Alice likes music to learn piano and violin enough, why do you still learn weird guitars.
Situ Nan had to give up the guitar education program, Alice gave up, but Andy became interested. (To be continued.) )
