"Oh, Roland, Chris, it's nice to see you tonight."

Comrade Chuan Jianguo shook Roland's hand with a laugh, then turned sideways and smiled at Director Columbus who came with Roland, "Don't be restrained, just relax, here are all your fans." ”

Roland and Columbus smiled and handed over their gifts, "Thank you very much for the invitation, we were still thinking about where to eat after filming at Rockefeller Center Plaza, you know, many restaurants are closed, and we won't burn them." ”

"Really? It seems that my invitation was very timely. Comrade Chuan Jianguo raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face became even bigger, if he had to be described figuratively, he is actually no different from the guy who will eat KFC on Air Force One in the future, "Actually, I have long wanted to invite you to come to the house as a guest, but you were busy filming for a week before, and I can't bother, now it's just right, Christmas Eve, everyone has time, oh, what are we doing at the door?" Let's go in together......"

Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, twisted his neck, and shouted inward-

"Ivanka? Why haven't you come out yet? Roland is here! ”

Yes, Roland and Columbus, who received the invitation, finally went to the appointment on Christmas Eve.

Although Christmas Eve and Christmas are traditional holidays in America, not everyone celebrates them.

For example, the Jews who celebrate Hanukkah, and the *** who celebrate Eid al-Adha.

Although they will also enjoy the holiday, but no one else birds birds this festival.

In the international city of New York, Christmas Eve Christmas is actually more like a triumph of capital, and the Christmas celebrated by the vast majority of Americans is just a gimmick invented by capital, just like the image of Santa Claus made up by Coca-Cola, just like the repertoire of Broadway next door that was specially choreographed at a higher price because of Christmas Eve Christmas, the purpose of capital is nothing more than to arouse the shopping desire of various types of customers, and empty their wallets as much as possible for consumption.

You know, in order to warn future generations, in order to ruthlessly reveal the darkness and evil of capitalist society, a Danish writer wrote a story related to it, and the content is that a little match, because of overtime to sell little girls, fell to his job on Chinese New Year's Eve in 1846.

In such a situation, let alone a Christmas Eve party similar to socializing, even if it is a Christmas party, this kind of thing is quite common in New York and Los Angeles.

The most famous is naturally the fruit party of "Playboy".

Of course, it is impossible for Comrade Chuan Jianguo to get that kind of party with a fake whole body, and it is impossible for Roland to be happy, firstly, because he is dirty and can't put his mouth down, and secondly, he is only twelve now, even if he is talented, his body does not allow it!

Even if he beats Agent Zero in the time loop, if he wants to be like the bearded man of later generations, holding the ball in both hands and easily breaking through the defense, he has to rely on the blessing of age!

In this way, this Christmas party in a single-family villa on Long Island is actually very serious, and with the attribute bonus of Sichuan Jianguo's kind of social star, the old money social circle similar to the Upper East Side has not appeared, and some are more stars.

Especially after Chuan Jianguo took Roland into the villa and introduced it loudly, everyone who was still chatting and farting in groups suddenly turned their heads, and when they found out that the finale that Chuan Jianguo said was actually the hottest Roland Allen at the moment, the flame of enthusiasm that burst out directly engulfed Roland.

"Good evening, Roland, it's a pleasure to see you."

"Oh my God! I thought your arrival was just a gimmick he made! ”

"Hey! Roland, we met at the Plaza Hotel before, you remember me! ”

But—

No matter how enthusiastic these guys are, they have nothing to do with Roland.

First, under the explosion of the two movies, he has long been familiar with this kind of business communication, and he has been very good at this skill when he sees people talking about people and talking nonsense when he sees ghosts; Second, Chuan Jianguo invited him over, but not to let Roland and his friends get to know, when Roland greeted him and showed him that he hadn't eaten dinner yet, the big golden retriever didn't hesitate to stuff Roland to his daughter, and asked Ivanka to take Roland to the restaurant next door to fill his stomach.

As for director Columbus, who was also hungry?

Sorry –

Although he was eager to follow Roland to forage for food, before he could speak, the big golden retriever took him by the shoulders and went to the small room next to him to talk about ideas, in his words, 'I want to know from Director Chris how the Plaza Hotel will be presented.' ’

Chiguoguo's approach really made Roland shake his head with emotion, but for Ivanka, it was no surprise that her father left the guests halfway and turned his head to talk to others about work.

Although it was the second time I met Roland, the children of wealthy families have been in contact with outsiders since they were children, and that sense of restraint that is inconvenient to communicate will not exist in them at all, "Roland, it's okay." ”

"My dad wouldn't be embarrassed by Chris."

"He's the kind of guy who does whatever comes to mind."

Do whatever comes to mind?

Roland smiled but didn't say a word.

Even if he didn't know about the conversation between the Great Golden Retriever and the Wolf King, he wasn't a kid either!

Didn't the big golden retriever take Columbus away and keep Ivanka by his side to create opportunities for himself and her?

Although this approach is simple and rude, it is very consistent with the irascible character of the big golden retriever.

Moreover, he is not ready to hold it, the last time the big golden retriever hung him for a week, the ghost knows if there is no progress this time, the big golden retriever will forget about him directly - every rich man has his own arrogance, if they are condescending and they can't even lick twice, then the possibility of changing the target will be great.

But the big golden retriever can change it, but he can't change it!

The big golden retriever knows a lot of people, but he Roland knows a few people!

"Of course I'm sure your dad won't be hard for Chris."

"You can see it from the framing and shooting in the previous week."

"We can shoot how we want, all the staff cooperate with us, since your father cares so much, then he will definitely not do anything to the director, after all, the movie has not been finished yet......"

Such words made Ivanka laugh, after seeing Roland's serious expression of cutting the steak and throwing the meat into her mouth, she had already eaten her lying on the table, her eyes glanced up, as if looking at her favorite toy, and said, "Really? ”

"I really don't know." She tilted her head.

"Actually, I've always wanted to see you filming."

"It's a pity that my dad didn't have time to take me there."

Don't have time?

Such words made Roland raise his eyebrows, "Why?" ”

"Because he was busy, he was so anxious about the casino that after the filming, my dad flew to New Jersey the next day to take care of his own business in Atlantic City." Ivanka pursed her lips and explained without concealment.

Huh?

It turns out that Comrade Chuan Jianguo didn't want to hang himself?

Yes, Chuan Jianguo didn't want to hang Roland at all, even if the two plans A and B were not applicable, he also wanted his daughter to get in touch with Roland, but the problem was that the bank group was urging it again! If he doesn't deal with it, people will probably come to New York to find him! If things get to that field, it's going to be a problem.

"Can't you come yourself?"

"Actually, after that day of separation, I always thought you would come."

Glancing at Ivanka with his eyes, Roland decided to take the initiative.

Since he wants to connect with his uncle through Ivanka, isn't the first thing Roland has to do is to understand Ivanka?

Judging from the words of this little girl at the moment, the possibility of her lying will be, but it is very low.

It's not that Roland is suspicious, it's not that he wants to live with a mask, but that everyone in the whole circle is acting.

If he is not careful, he will not know if he will be sold one day, even if Ivanka is only ten years old, he will not underestimate the other party, you know, the Ivanka in the future is the guy who wants to become the female leader of America.

However, just when Roland thought that Ivanka might use a series of explanations such as 'Daddy is not there, she has to go to school', the little girl who was lying at the table and watching him eat suddenly blinked her eyes, and the smile that was still on her face had already subsided.

When Roland didn't hear the other party's explanation for a long time, and looked up suspiciously, with the fall of his sight, the doubtful energy, like a silver needle, completely punctured the suffocating and inflated balloon.

The sister-in-law who met his gaze pursed her lips and said slowly, "My mother doesn't allow me to come to ......"

"She won't let me follow my father's ......"

Gotcha......

I seem to have been talking to death......

To be honest, Roland himself felt that the bunch of words just now were all embarrassing conversations.

But it can't be helped, because he just wants to talk, and he doesn't want to flirt with his sister at all.

But if he had known earlier that the cliché could produce such a result, then he would have chosen to flirt with his sister......

Why?

Because when Ivanka said the word mother, he understood that he had a hornet's nest!

With the bankruptcy of the casino industry and the intensification of media news, no one in the whole of America knows that the star entrepreneur Mr. Chuan Jianguo is divorcing his wife, and the prenuptial agreement between the two is even more placed in front of the public, like what'If divorced, any gifts that Ivana received during the marriage, such as furs and cars, should be returned to Chuan Jianguo. For example, 'Ivana's help to Chuan Jianguo's career is a gift to Chuan Jianguo, and you can't ask for remuneration when you divorce. The agreement of these two red fruits alone has shocked the entire Amerika, and let his wife leave the house after the divorce? This kind of agreement is even more ruthless than the "Marriage Law"!

Although the laws vary from state to state, the Marriage Act is actually biased in favor of women and children.

For example, after a couple gets married, because the law says that it is illegal to let children stay alone at home, and the cost of a full-time nanny is generally higher than the salary of one of the spouses, so the woman becomes the first choice of many families to be a full-time mother, and in this case, if it is divorced, then the fun is greater.

As for how to calculate, it's even simpler.

Whoever brings the child belongs to whomever it is;

The division of property is biased towards the disadvantaged, and stay-at-home mothers with no income are naturally disadvantaged;

After the divorce, the earning spouse provides alimony to the non-earning spouse until the child grows up and the non-earning spouse marries again; And if the non-earning party has not gotten married for a long time, then the alimony will continue to be given.

In this case, if there is no prenuptial agreement, most of the things such as car, house, property, children, etc., have to be given to the woman, and if they are signed...... You'll have to give half of it, too.

When Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman divorced, they took 90 million in breakup fees alone!

When Steven Spielberg and his first wife, Amy Owen, divorced, the breakup fee alone was 100 million!

The court decision for Morgan Freeman and his wife Mina is 400 million!

And if it weren't for Mackenzie's own willingness to accept mediation, she would have been able to take 68.5 billion from Bezos!

Why do Americans choose not to marry and have children?

Because divorce is really fatal!

If you have children before you get married, you only need to give the child alimony when you break up, and if you get married but don't have a prenuptial agreement, then even if the woman cuckolds the man, the man will also give her money!

Because of the statement that there is no fault party in the divorce division of property under the Amerika Marriage Law, who cheats is not counted in the judgment......

They only take care of the 'vulnerable group' with children.

That's why the America paternity test show is so popular!

As long as it's not biological, the man can be happy!

Because alimony doesn't have to be given!

In this kind of situation where women are green and men can take away most of their property, the prenuptial agreement of Chuan Jianguo, a star entrepreneur, immediately caused a sensation in the entire America...... If you push it back twenty years, the female boxer can beat him to death.

So—

When Roland heard Ivanka say the word mother, he immediately knew that his special code was cheap!

Sure enough, before he could speak, Ivanka blew her nose and pretended not to care:

"You've heard about the outside world, too?"

"Yes, they're arguing."

"My mom kept telling me that my dad was a bad guy......"

"She told me that my dad didn't like me at all......"

"He just used me as a tool in the family......"

"My mom told me to follow her, just like my brother and brother......"

Speaking of this, Ivanka's face could not hide her loss, but soon, she noticed that Roland had been staring at her, so she squeezed out a smile again, shook her head, and said, "You don't have to be surprised......

"I'm used to ......"

Looking at the little sister-in-law who forced a smile and turned her head to raise her hair, Roland suddenly had a feeling of talking to an adult.

Because Ivanka is really-

It's so sane.

Roland believes that if he didn't have the memory of his previous life, he would definitely not be so calm at his age.

At least, it will be like James at home, who wants this and that......

"Got used to it?"

"Why do you say that?"

Roland put down the knife and fork in his hand and looked at the little girl with one hand on his cheek.

He admitted that the guy in front of him who didn't grow was not his cup of tea, but he was very curious about this person now.

Because—

The three little Loli in his own family can only pull their fingers and say, "I want to be ......."

"Sooner or later, the Americans will know about these things......"

"They never hide their thoughts in front of us......"

"My mom says my dad is a bad guy, but my dad keeps telling me that mom is a bad guy......"

"I'm tired of watching them slander each other like this......"

"So...... I'm used to it......"

Is it natural to get used to it?

Looking at the little guy who pursed his lips and looked serious, but was pretending to be strong, Roland-

Seriously, he actually has some sympathy.

Allowing children to enjoy a happy and complete childhood is indeed Roland's true intention.

He didn't want the Olsons to divorce, not only because the complete family was in his favor, but also for the sake of James, Ashley, Mary, and Elizabeth.

Hollywood is too annoying, Wall Street is too annoying, the world is too annoying, go home and take a look at those naïve little guys, isn't it?

Yes, the three little loli did take his hand after watching "Beauty and the Beast", asked for a princess dress, and asked for a beast doll, but he didn't think there was anything wrong, child, happiness first......

He has the ability to satisfy the little ones, so why say no?

Being able to communicate with your family is actually more important than money, but now?

The guy who seems to enjoy the glitz and glamour, but behind the scenes, he is under pressure that she shouldn't be able to bear at her age.

Although a variety of factors can make Ivanka grow rapidly, but-

Maybe she lost more?

Of course, even if he was sympathetic, he couldn't change these things.

Get involved in the marriage of the big golden retriever?

What kind of thing is he?

As for dating Ivanka and then bringing her back to Los Angeles?

This is even more unlikely.

Just like Ivanka said, her mother told her that she was a tool of Chuan Jianguo, and in this case, she would still stay with Chuan Jianguo, isn't that equivalent to telling Roland bluntly that she is reluctant to do everything now?

Ambition is not something that can be created in a day or two.

Ivanka, who wants to be a female commander in the future, learned little by little from Chuan Jianguo.

That being the case—

Roland doesn't have to bear the psychological pressure of cheating children.

Because this guy in front of him is at least as thorough as himself.

She understands that she has meat to eat with her father, but she has nothing to eat with her mother.

It's as simple as that.

"Why are you talking to me about this?"

"When we met that day, you said you liked my movie."

Roland folded his hands and elbows on the table.

They looked at each other with hooked eyes, wanting to understand Ivanka's motives for saying all this.

However, in the face of this question, the little girl, who was still extremely calm, suddenly puffed out her cheeks and stared at Roland like a meat bun for a few seconds, and finally said: "My dad asked me the morning before yesterday, do I like you?" ”

"I said I liked it."

"Then he wrote you an invitation in front of me."

Okay......

The children of these rich people really have different means of interacting with people.

Is it bluntly scary?

Not necessarily.

They don't have to go around the bend and save everyone's time.

When they meet a new friend on weekdays, the first thing they hear is not the name of the guy, but the son of the guy and the granddaughter of whom.

The first time they didn't know, the second time they didn't know, the third and fourth time, they understood.

They know that when their parents tell them about their background, they imply that their people are good for the family business.

In this case, it is normal for two accustomed guys to report their home and goals after meeting and dealing with each other.

There are too many contract couples, showing off on the surface, breaking up at the bottom, and playing their own games.

This is like Hollywood, where there is no profit and cannot afford to be early, and many of the romances between two actors are arranged by the production company.

And all of this is actually for fame and fortune.

For the adults of Chuan Jianguo, how to properly bind Roland is the most important thing, but for children like Ivanka, it is actually faster to use the way of interacting with the children of the rich circle.

Adults want business to be safe, but children just want to be able to show their parents how useful they are.

I'm the only one of all the kids in the family who can help you quickly.

I want to inherit all the family property.

It's as straightforward as that.

It's as straightforward as the gambling king's grandson's Weibo.

Roland is not against this kind of behavior, in other words, he even likes this kind of bluntness.

Because of this, there is no psychological pressure on both sides.

Let's use each other!

"What do you want to do? Have a specific idea? ”

When Roland asks these two questions, it already means that he has a showdown.

And when she heard his words, Ivanka, who had long regarded herself as her father's tool, nodded, sat up on her knees, leaned forward, and her warmth was directly imprinted on Roland's cheek-

After touching each other, she still said in Roland's ear-

"You're good-looking."

"I like it."

"That's what I think."
