Chapter 462: Eddie's Troubles
While Peter and Gwen flirt, Mawson was not idle, and he found out a series of experiences after Eddie arrived in San Francisco.
Because of an interview, he not only lost his job, but also lost his love because he peeked at his girlfriend's computer files.
Blocked by Drake, no one in San Francisco wants to offer him a job, and the impoverished Eddie can only move to a cheap apartment, drink every day, talk about it, and then find a job by the way.
"Hey, man, do you have any job for me lately, I can do any kind of work, you have to believe in my strength. What the? The work is all arranged, okay, let's get back to talk. ”
Hanging up the phone, Eddie couldn't help but curse, he picked up the newspaper on the table and flipped through it casually, his eyes fell on the column recruiting dishwashers.
If he can't find a job anymore, he can only sell his physical strength.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Thompson is on the other side! Don't bother me! ”
He shouted.
Living across from him is a rock 'n' roll youth who gathers some fox friends every day to party at home, and the music and frolicking make Eddie miserable.
But there was no way, this was the case in the low-rent apartment, and he had to endure the humming sound of the night next door compared to the noise on the other side.
"Knock knock!"
The knock on the door reminded me again.
"I told you, he's on the other side!!"
"Knock knock!"
"Damn it, I can't live this day!"
Add stood up and walked towards the door angrily, he was not tall but had a burly build. To be honest, he looks more like a wrestler than a journalist.
"There's no end to ......"
Eddie angrily ripped open the door.
At the door stood a slender young man over 1.9 meters tall with a smiling face.
Because of his personal hobbies, Eddie has come into contact with many burly guys, but the young man in front of him obviously doesn't look very strong, but just standing there, that special strength seems to be able to break out of the body.
This is by no means a simple guy.
"Who are you looking for?"
Eddie took a half-step back and said with a cautious expression.
"Is it Mr. Eddie Bullock?" Mawson spoke.
"It's me, you're ......"
"Mawson!"
"Sorry to bother you." Through the crack in the door, Mo Sen saw the mess in the room, "I came to you on a special trip, can you go in and talk?" ”
Eddie hesitated, then opened the door and let Mawson in, who seemed to have nothing to worry about now.
Mawson didn't care about the mess in the room, and sat on the sofa with that style, as if he were the master here.
"I was introduced by Mary Jane from the Global Daily."
In the first sentence, Mawson dismissed Eddie's guard.
"Oh, it's that red-haired girl, I brought her when she came to Global Daily for internship, and recently I heard that she has followed several big news, and she is already the hottest newcomer in Global Daily."
Eddie smiled, the expression on his face relaxed a lot, and walked to the refrigerator, "Mawson, right?" Want to drink something? ”
He opened the refrigerator door.
"I've got beer here, uh...... Well, only beer. ”
"No need." Mawson refused, and then pointed out his intention straight to the point.
"I've come here to investigate the Life Fund, and I've heard that Mr. Bullock lost his job a few months ago because of the Life Fund."
Eddie's face changed slightly.
"It's just a little skirmish, there's nothing to talk about." He's not a fool either, and Drake's series of moves gave him a glimpse of the business tycoon's influence in the city.
Now he just lost his job, and his personal safety is not threatened in any way, but if he continues to pester, then it will not be easy to say.
Mawson was not surprised, and smiled slightly, "If it is just a little friction, with your ability, how can it be that no newspaper in San Francisco is willing to take you in?"
Eddie tucked the newspaper down, "I've been busy with work, I'm a little tired, and I'm planning to take a break lately." ”
"Is that so?"
"That would be a shame." Mawson stood up.
"I thought you had some special news in your hands, and if that was the case, I'd be willing to pay for it."
"But since it's just a small friction, forget it."
"Excuse me, Mr. Bullock."
Mawson only exchanged a few pleasantries, then turned to leave.
"Wait!"
When Mawson walked to the door, his fingers touching the handle, Eddie's slightly hurried voice suddenly came from behind him.
"What's wrong?"
Mawson turned around.
"You just said you were willing to pay for the news about the Life Fund?" Eddie looked cramped.
"How much are you willing to give?"
Mawson smiled.
"It depends on the value of your message." He stretched out his palm, "But it shouldn't be less than $5,000!" ”
Eddie's eyelids were jumping, and $5,000 was enough to pay off his credit card and solve his temporary financial problems. If the message is more important, the amount should be higher.
Mawson then returns to the living room, where Eddie recounts the conflict between himself and Drake, but withholds his email from spying on his lawyer's girlfriend.
After all, no matter how you look at it, it is a very disgraceful thing to peep into other people's privacy.
Mawson pretends to record what Eddie said, but in fact he has no idea how the plot of the film develops.
However, according to his guess, maybe it really has something to do with this life fund, and he is just looking for a reason to approach Eddie now, so that he can naturally keep in touch with him.
can also intervene in the plot at the first time.
"Alright, Mr. Bullock, we've written down what you said, and I'll need to go back and check the truth of this information." Mawson paused, pulling out a wad of money from his bosom.
"It's $2,000, which is a deposit."
"If the news is true, I will give you the remaining $8,000 later."
After listening to Mawson's words just now, Eddie originally thought that he would not be able to get the money, but when he saw the $2,000 on the table, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"If there's any other news about the Life Fund, you can call me." Mawson continued.
"I work for a lot of people, and if there's any other news, I mean anything, you can notify me."
"I'll sell it for you a good price."
Mawson looked Eddie in the eye, "It won't help you get a job, but it will solve your life." ”
Eddie left Mawson's business card.
He wasn't going to speak, but the stack of demand notes hidden under the table forced him to make a choice.
Leaving Eddie's apartment, Mawson had nothing to do for a while, he thought about it, and decided to care about the little spider's love life.
As for whether it is humane to harass a couple in relationship repair on a big night, it is not something that Mawson considers.
However, to Mawson's surprise, the little spider who was supposed to be mixing oil with Gwen Miri seemed to be in a little trouble.
