Chapter 159: The Missing Benjamin
Lei Chan was not qualified to inquire about Benjamin's whereabouts, and of course he wouldn't care. Seeing that Benjamin was not there, although full of doubts, he did not pursue it, but went straight back to his rented room.
Unexpectedly, in the evening, Benjamin still did not return, so in the evening Benjamin's tavern did not open.
The next day...
Day 3...
...
Day 7...
A week passed, Benjamin was missing, and the tavern hadn't been open for a week. When Benjamin left, he signed a purchase contract directly with the distillery, and every six days or so, he would deliver a variety of liquors. Because Benjamin was not there, Lei Chan could only sign for the receipt and pay for the goods on his behalf.
Of course, it wasn't until this time that Lei Chan discovered his earnings in "Anna Louis". A full 10,000 credits!
In fact, Lei Chan is aware of the special bounty amount for "Anna Louis". As long as you can complete the movie script, you can get the encouragement bounty of 10,000 credits from the United Entertainment Group. However, the 10,000 credits will be distributed according to the contributions of the eighteen actors.
Lei Chan was a little surprised, because in the second half of the script, he spent almost all of his time in a prison cell, and he didn't do anything to contribute at all. However, there are still 10,000 credits neatly on his account, not even a fraction of it, which is very intriguing. Don't... Did he really contribute to the road from beginning to end?
In fact... As long as he pays a little attention to the big movie network or something else in the last few days, he should be able to find that a person occupies the page of the big movie network, and even if he looks at TV, he can find that the world has not been peaceful at all recently!
The Pabunla incident was still leaked, and there were too many people involved, even though 17 of the 18 actors signed a non-disclosure agreement, even if they knew that the students and teachers of Pabunla had signed a non-disclosure agreement, it was still leaked. This period was the end of the First World War of Cinema, and the reality films, which were basically crushed by real movies, ushered in the opportunity to fight back at this end.
The fact that this schoolgirl named Pavunla May Assas was trapped in a real movie and couldn't get out was hyped up by the reality movie camp. In addition to the kind of people who are very dead and don't watch the news, even people who are not interested in real movies know about the girl Pabunla.
Large-scale demonstrations and protests broke out, calls for accountability, and doubts about whether real movies were really safe. The other seventeen actors in "Anna Louis" are under intense scrutiny, fearing that any of them will be in the same situation as Pabunla again. These seventeen actors also did not stage new works in this short week.
Lianyu made an emergency public relations, but it still couldn't withstand this wave of doubts, and the stock price fell again and again. Eighteen actors who have participated in "Anna Louis", except for Lei Chan who doesn't know at all, sixteen actors, including Li Yue, and the family of Anna's actor Pabunla, none of them have issued a statement.
The reason is that everyone received a hush money - 10,000 credits, except for Lei Chan, a second fool who doesn't look at anything.
During these seven days, Daddy John, fearing that DiMilli's affair would cause trouble, prevented Sunny and DiMillie from going to school. Kidd and Gretel also chose to remain silent after learning what Lei Chan had done, and with the outbreak of the Pabunla incident, the four children invariably chose to take leave to stay at home.
Although Lei Chan saw all this in his eyes, he didn't mean to show up, just silently hid outside the house and guarded quietly. On the contrary, in seven days, the relationship between Sunny and her family eased a little.
Every time after night, Lei Chan would return to Benjamin's tavern and wait for Benjamin's return, he needed the potions. After waiting for six days in a row, it wasn't until the seventh day that Lei Chan found that he had 10,000 more credits in his account. At the same time, he also realized that Benjamin would not be coming back anytime soon.
Looking at the several large boxes of wine piled up near the back kitchen, Lei Chan only felt that this seemed to be a little troublesome. Just then, there was a sudden noise in the front door. Lei Chan heard the sound and came to the front of the tavern, only to see a letter on the ground, apparently thrown in through the crack in the door.
Lei Chan walked over suspiciously, picked up the letter, and found that the recipient was actually himself, and the sender was... Benjamin!?
He opened it and looked at it, and was stunned...
...
At night, for the shops on Comryn Street, this is the beginning of their day.
Taverns that sleep during the day and work at night open their doors at this time, waiting for drunkards from the surrounding neighborhood to come and patronize after a hard day's work.
For many alcoholics, the 'sake' that is cheap but can always be drunk, and even the side dishes taste good 'sake' is indeed a good choice. It's just that I don't know why, 'Liquor' has been closed for a week, and there is not even a notice, which makes many old drunkards feel a little confused. But once the wine worm is tickled, it is not something that can be endured. So although I wondered, no one would delve into why a tavern was not open.
Old drunkards came to this familiar street one after another, but they were surprised to see that the 'liquor', which had been closed for seven days, actually opened. This was a bit of a surprise for these old drunkards.
The familiar door was opened, but Benjamin's fierce face was not seen, but standing behind the bar was a young man with black hair and black eyes. Although he was wearing the same uniform as Benjamin, it made the drunkard who came in feel weird.
"Hey, where's Benjamin?" A middle-aged man who looked familiar with this tavern asked Lei Chan.
Lei Chan shook the water off his hands, looked up at the man and said, "I also want to know, I'm his tenant, and he hasn't come back yet, but... He left me a letter asking me to help him get the store up and running first. I hate to do it, but you can see it, I'm helping him open the shop! What do you want? ”
Although Lei Chan occasionally appeared in the back kitchen to help a few days ago, he did not often appear at the front desk. Fortunately, there were still a few regular customers who poured in, and after hearing Lei Chan's words, they didn't have much suspicion, but just laughed and asked Lei Chan to serve them a drink as usual.
If it weren't for Lei Chan still asking what kind of wine the so-called was, maybe the middle-aged man's suspicion would have dispelled faster.
Lei Chan also has no intention of raising prices, as if being the temporary boss of 'wine' is just a very ordinary part-time job, Lei Chan can skillfully serve wine and prepare side dishes, as if he has done it many times. He couldn't remember, but he knew he must have done something similar.
To be honest, if it weren't for the letter Benjamin left behind, Lei Chan wouldn't have helped him open the store.
What exactly is written in Benjamin's letter? Let's listen to the next breakdown!
