"Mr. Keane, is Mr. Miller here? I want to see him! Monet said to Assistant Miller, who had come to pick him up last time.

Keene shook his head and replied, "I'm sorry Mr. Monet, Mr. Miller is not feeling well right now, so I don't want to see anyone!" ”

"I have something very important to discuss with him, and that is the will!" Monet explained.

Unexpectedly, Keane refused again: "If it is related to the will, it is even more impossible, because Mr. Miller specially said that no matter who comes, the will will not be changed, and it will be published in the newspaper tomorrow." ”

Then he motioned to a few people standing not far away and said, "Mr. Monet, have you seen it, they are all here to talk to Mr. Miller about the will!" ”

It may have been that Keane's voice was a little loud, and suddenly a man jumped out of the group of people he had indicated and also came to Mr. Miller to talk about the will, and pointed at Monet's nose and asked, "You are the Tony Monet who gave Charles the idea of vacancy?!" ”

Monet glared at the guy: "Please pay attention to your words and mannerisms, this gentleman, I am indeed Tony Monet, but I have never given Mr. Miller any immoral ideas!" ”

"You dare to say that you didn't come up with the idea of asking Charles to give all the money to the women who had children? If it weren't for you, then the Miller family's property would not have been in the hands of outsiders at all! ”

Hearing this guy ask, Monet probably guessed that he should be a relative of Mr. Miller, and saw that such a huge inheritance flowed into the fields of outsiders, so he was furious, but Monet didn't have a good face for this kind of person: "How Mr. Miller's estate is distributed is his own right, as for why he didn't give you the inheritance, I think you should review it carefully, whether you usually did something that made Mr. Miller unhappy!" ”

At this time, Keane suddenly interjected: "Mr. Monet, you are right, if Mr. Bruce did not come to Mr. Miller only when you were short of money, I believe that there will definitely be a share of you in this inheritance!" ”

"What qualifications do you have as a servant to speak of me?!" Bruce angrily accused.

"Mr. Bruce, I'm Mr. Miller's assistant, not a servant, and I'm only at the behest of Mr. Miller, not any other self-righteous fellow!" Keane corrected with a strong pressure on his anger.

"You! You! You! Bruce "you" for a long time, and finally put down a cruel sentence: "I will go to court to appeal, this kind of will should not be established!" I'd rather donate this money to NYU than to these poor people! After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Keane shouted at his back without showing weakness: "You can sue as you like, the trust has a lawyer to respond to the lawsuit!" ”

After comforting Keane a few words, Monet asked him, "Mr. Miller really doesn't plan to revoke this will?" ”

Keene shrugged and replied: "Actually, many people have come to persuade Mr. Miller to change or change his will in the past few days, but Mr. Miller is very insistent, and it will be published in the newspaper tomorrow, so I don't think it will be revoked!" ”

Seeing that things could not be changed, Monet had to say regretfully: "Okay, then I'll go first, but if Mr. Miller changes his mind, be sure to call me, this is my phone number!" ”

"Yes, Monsieur Monet!" Keane nodded in agreement.

But it's a pity that Monet saw this sensational news helplessly when he was reading the newspaper the next morning, so he sighed and said to Nicole next to him: "Hey, I didn't expect this to happen!" ”

Unexpectedly, after listening to Monet's analysis, Nicole said disapprovingly: "I think you may be a little too pessimistic, things shouldn't be as bad as you think, even if there are really some greedy guys, they will eat the consequences, as for the government and society, it shouldn't be affected by anything, and it won't collapse with hundreds of more children!" ”

Monet shook his head and retorted: "If it's just a few hundred children, it definitely won't have much impact, but if it's tens of thousands of children, it's hard to say!" ”

"Tens of thousands of children? Does that mean there have to be tens of thousands of families vying for the prize? Is this possible? Nicole couldn't help but exclaim.

"You don't know how many poor people there are in New York, I'll take you to Hell's Kitchen when I have time!"

Nicole shook her head without hesitation and refused, "I don't go to that kind of place!" ”

Monet didn't bother to bother with him, so he changed the topic and chatted a few words and drove to "Comet", although his main work recently is to prepare "Playboy", but "Comet" here he comes every day or two to deal with the corresponding affairs.

Recently, the biggest project of "Comet" is the "Miller Award Essay", although whether the manuscript is shortlisted or not is screened by Beasley, but whether the award is awarded must be evaluated by Monet, which is similar to the imperial examination, the township examination and the general examination are in charge of special officials, and the palace examination for the champion, the list eye, and the flower exploration must be personally evaluated by the emperor!

Although the number of submissions was large because of the stimulus of the 5,000 dollar grand prize (1,000 US dollars for the first prize, 2,000 US dollars for the second prize, and 6,500 US dollars for the third prize), it was limited by the overall atmosphere of 1913, so there were not many fine works, and Monet had long been given an aesthetic standard by later classics, so even if the shortlisted works were shortlisted, there were very few that could make him shine.

At this time, a manuscript suddenly lifted his spirits, not because of how well this article was written, but because the author's name made his eyes shine, because this author's name is "Ernest Hemingway"!

Hemingway can be said to be Monet's favorite American World War II writers, especially "Farewell, Arms" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls", which are rare tough guy writing, especially "The Old Man and the Sea" is a book that integrates faith, will, tenacity, courage and strength, which makes people thoroughly understand what the indestructible spiritual power looks like.

It's just that Monet can't remember how old he is now, but it's likely that he is still just a student, otherwise the text would not be so immature, but it seems that he is more or less a bit of a "tough guy in the literary world" in later generations, so in the spirit of "philately" mentality Monet gave him a third prize......

PS: Because I like Hemingway, so when I learned that there is a singer named Hemingway and even his masterpiece is "The Old Man and the Sea", I don't know why I always feel particularly awkward. Is it possible to package a singer named Li Bai to sing "Will Enter the Wine"?
