Stephen always thought that Tommy would be the same as he guessed, using his money ability and his handsome but barely eye-catching appearance to accosting this actress named Sandra Bullock, who had only made two small-budget independent films.

It's just that it turns out that he guessed wrong again, because Tommy, the bastard, is calling Miss Zoe Winters, the shrews of the CS gang, and his tone is full of humility and flattery:

"Zoe, are you still busy?"

"Who are you?" On the other side of the phone, Zoe didn't even hear Tommy's voice, and asked suspiciously and impatiently.

Tommy said with a smirk on his face, hypocritically, "It's me, your dearest ......"

"Don't call me again, I'll call the police and say that you're maliciously harassing, sir, and I'll repeat, no matter what conditions you offer, I won't take down this news report." Before Tommy could finish speaking, Zoe threw out a sentence on the other side of the phone irritably, and then hung up the phone neatly.

Tommy turned around, looked at the gloating Stephen next to him, looked at the phone in his hand again, and said suspiciously: "Zoe didn't recognize my voice, can you believe it?" ”

Stephen was an honest man, and at least for the moment, he tried to make his expression look like an honest man, and said to Tommy:

"Otilia will hang up when she hears your tone just now, brother, you should really record it, and then listen to that tone yourself, the reason why Zoe didn't take you as a cowherd who actively promoted herself may be because she hasn't spent entertainment in this area."

Tommy awkwardly threw the phone aside, then lazily sat back down next to Stephen, grabbed a beer and took a sip before looking at Stephen: "Zoe seems to be reporting on a certain news, and then the sufferer of the report calls her with the same humility and flattery as I did, trying to make her change her mind." ”

Stephen shook the Sandra Bullock profile and asked suspiciously, "What to call Zoe?" Shouldn't you contact this girl first, from the introduction on this resume, it seems that her family background is very ordinary, maybe Brock is a big family in Arlington, Virginia, you recognize the wrong person, the information shows that her high school and college are even all public. ”

It is very clear on this information that Sandra Bullock lived in Germany for twelve years, and then moved back to the United States with her father returning to China for work, and the family moved back to the United States, she attended Washington and Robert Lee Public High School, and the university was only East Carolina University, a little-known public university.

And the information also says that this girl studied drama performance in college, and after graduation, she went to Broadway in New York to look for performance opportunities, and in order to live in New York, she also worked many part-time jobs such as bar waitress, bartender, etc.

A small-town girl with the American dream.

"That girl is not short of money, don't think that her resume says that she has worked hard to learn acting skills in order to find performance opportunities on Broadway, and at the same time, in order to support herself, she has worked as a barmaid, bartender and the like, buddy, when you signed up for summer camp, it was written on your resume that you got a test-free admission letter from Stanford University by personal ability." Tommy laughed sarcastically when he heard Stephen's confusion.

"I just relied on my ability to get the exemption letter from Stanford University, okay?" Stephen insisted on it, but when he heard Tommy say that he should not take the other party's information seriously, he turned over the information and looked at it several times, but in the end there was still nothing new to discover, so he could only ask Tommy for help again: "So, which sentence did she lie?" ”

"She's not lying, she's honest." Tommy took out his cigarette and lit it and took a puff before explaining to Stephen:

"It says she went to New York after graduating from college and stayed in an apartment hotel on the Upper East Side, and the address of that apartment hotel is familiar to me, because our dear Jim bought his first New York property in that apartment hotel, a college graduate, and you think she just arrived in New York and rented an apartment that Jim could afford with seven years of salary?"

"Maybe she made a fortune working part-time in college? It's just renting, not buying it in full. Stephen felt that Tommy's explanation was far-fetched and not enough to convince him.

Tommy, a poor man, could have bought a Beverly Hills mansion when he was a college student at Stanford, so why couldn't other college students rent a fancy apartment in New York? No matter how poor you are, can you still have Tommy, a poor ghost, who was exaggerated at the beginning?

"Well, the second one, she's still studying acting while looking for opportunities in New York, right? It goes up and she hired Sandford Meissner to give her acting lessons, one-on-one acting lessons, and you know what that means? The girl named Diane Lane I slept with, she served as the female number one at the age of thirteen, and earned the first million in her life at the age of seventeen, even so, she didn't dare to fantasize about asking this guy named Sandford to teach her acting skills one-on-one, because she couldn't afford it, at most she could only go to each other's group classes a few times, only the real top Hollywood superstar, who wanted to fight for the Oscar for Best Actor and Actress, would find him with a banknote and let him give one-on-one professional and systematic guidance. Tommy looked at Stephen and gave a second reason.

When Stephen heard Tommy's words, his first reaction was to be stunned: "Dude, when you talk about this when you have sex with a woman, the woman won't blame you for being boring?" Sleeping with you and being asked about work by you......"

"Finally, the information shows that during her year in New York, she played the heroine in a play at an Off-Broadway theater." Ignoring Stephen's ridicule, Tommy gave a third reason:

"I'm guessing you haven't slept with a Broadway actress, or your girlfriends don't like to know about Broadway."

"No, I prefer the art of cinema." Stephen looked at Tommy.

Tommy flicked his cigarette ash, then looked at his car:

"Otilia likes to go to Broadway to enjoy musical and dance dramas, where new actors don't want to become the heroine of a play, even if they want to perform on stage, they have to stay up for at least a few years, and this girl named Sandra has appeared on the Broadway stage within a year, and she is also the heroine, although it is only outside Broadway, but it is enough to make people feel shocked, if it is a civilian girl, let's put it this way, even if she sleeps with all the cast and crew by her posture, it is impossible to get the script of the heroine in the first year, Broadway has higher requirements for actors than Hollywood. ”

So, think about it, a commoner girl from a small city in Virginia, who travels to New York to pursue her dream of being an actress, who lives in a luxury Upper East Side apartment hotel, who takes one-on-one acting classes that ordinary female stars daunt, and who plays the heroine in a play in a peripheral theater, all of which is a huge expense to survive only by working part-time as a bartender or waitress? Let me believe that this is true, and it is better to believe that the French said that they would never surrender. ”

"Only a bastard like you, who was born with no concept of money, will not realize how problematic this resume is, and replace it with other film directors or producers, who want to have the urge to play with her because her art photos and life photos look beautiful and attractive, but as long as you take a look at this resume, you will understand that there is other information hidden in it, and you had better understand each other's background before you get to the brain, so as not to kick the iron plate."

"So, never trust the American Dream on your resume."

"If you have a background, why do you go to a bad school?" After listening to Tommy's explanation, Stephen didn't give up and threw another question.

Tommy shook his head, "I don't know, maybe it's just because those two schools are closer to her house?" I guess if she wants to go to Stanford or any other prestigious school, it will be as easy as you. ”

"Going to West Point might be easier than me." Stephen said with some disdain.

Seeing that the other party didn't believe that Sandra could go to a prestigious school as easily as him, Tommy said a few more words:

"Why didn't her father, John Wilson Bullock, Jr., enlarge the belly of a German woman like his comrades-in-arms who were also stationed in Germany, and then pat his ass back home and relive old dreams with his girlfriend? And finally chose to break up with his girlfriend who was waiting for him to come home in China, and then took the German woman back to his hometown to hold a wedding? It's very easy to figure out this question, and you will know why she wants to go to a prestigious school, but I can't continue to talk to you, because there are some things that are only limited to communication between brothers within the SSD. ”

With that, Tommy took a sip of his beer, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the coolness of the beer.

Stephen knew that the Brotherhood had different rules, and that the Order of the Phoenix he belonged to, so he didn't continue to ask, but looked at Sandra Bullock's picture again: "Anyway, this girl has some background, right?" But if you're not going to strike up a conversation yourself, can I give it a try, I mean, at least let me figure it out to her that you can't tell me. ”

"Your tennis girlfriend...... Lisa...... Lisa ...... "Hearing Stephen prepare to strike up Sandra Bullock, Tommy's eyes glanced over Stephen's face and asked.

Stephen says his girlfriend's name: "Lisa Bond." ”

"That's right, it's her, I mean, she's racing in Paris right now, and she's going to do her homework for your parents on vacation in Paris after the race, and you're ready to change her now? You snatched her from two rich men. Tommy shook his head and smiled at Stephen.

Tommy has met Stephen's new girlfriend a few times, Stephen, who slept all over Hollywood, and the girlfriend he brought to his parents was not an insider, but an American tennis player from a wealthy family, Lisa Bond, twenty-four years old, blonde hair, long legs, except for slightly smaller breasts, basically in line with all men's fantasies about women.

When Stephen pursued her, a minority shareholder of Daimler AG and the owner of a chain of bookstores were also courting Lisa, but the two were a little older, one was almost fifty years old and the other was thirty-seven.

And Stephen showed the two old guys who are also worth hundreds of millions of dollars what it means to be a vigorous young man.

It cost four million to buy five thousand acres of land in Lisa's home state of South Carolina, how big is five thousand acres? About twenty square kilometers.

The reason for the purchase was to give it to Lisa Bond, telling the other party that if she wanted to retire one day, she could build a tennis training school or anything else on this land to ensure that her life was fulfilling enough after retirement.

In fact, the other two rich people can also take out four million to fight the beauty with a smile, but obviously, after Stephen makes a move, even if he takes out another four million, he will not be able to grab the light of this guy.

It didn't take much effort for this tennis girl with Eastern European roots to become Stephen's new girlfriend.

When Stephen and Tommy talk about it, Tommy just wants to sigh that it is so easy for rich people to fall in love, whether Lisa is moved by the five thousand acres of land or because of the character of Stephen, the prodigal son, it doesn't matter at all.

"Lisa isn't bad either, but she doesn't have dreams, you know, Tommy? She doesn't have any dreams, she doesn't know anything but tennis, I don't really want my girlfriend to be a woman who just lays down in bed and helps me pass on my family except for playing tennis and spending money for me, I gave her five thousand acres of land, she has no idea at all except that she is moved, she doesn't know what to do with that land, I mean I'm rich, but I still have dreams, right, I'm still trying to write the script and try to leave a name in the history of American cinema, And she actually wanted to announce her retirement after this year's competition, marry me, and then concentrate on having children. Speaking of his girlfriend, Stephen also has a little distress.

In his opinion, he is still working hard with so much money, and his girlfriend is ready to start retirement at the age of twenty-four just because he has money.

"Of course you can strike up a conversation, but can you come according to my plan? I'm going to get to know Mr. Wilson-Bullock through her first. Tommy didn't bother to bother with Stephen's private life, just let the other party better listen to his own arrangement.

Stephen picked up Tommy's cigarette case and took one out of his mouth and put it in his mouth, Tommy leaned over to help him light it, and only after a puff of smoke came out of Stephen's mouth did he say, "So, what's the plan, Tommy?" ”

"What TV station does Zoe work for?" Tommy asked, putting away his lighter.

Stephen remembers the work and address of everyone in the CS Gang, and every Christmas, he will personally write greeting cards and select gifts to send to these companions, compared to Stephen, Tommy is ashamed of himself, because he doesn't remember these at all, and he needs to rely on Sophia or the maid to remind him in time before he will make a phone call to contact the relationship.

Stephen began: "Working as a news reporter for WORC TV in Worcester, Massachusetts. ”

"Now I'm going to start my own news network, and she doesn't have to work for anyone else." Tommy thought for a moment, picked up the phone he had just dropped, and dialed the number: "Jim~ Good afternoon." ”

"It's not good, I'm having a headache with a problem thrown at me by some stupid*." On the other end of the phone, Jim said impatiently, "Say something soon." ”

Tommy didn't say hello and said his purpose directly: "What's the name of your lawyer friend?" The one who helped you and Lotus start the project was in Massachusetts, right? ”

"Partner, Hale & Dole White Shoes Law Firm, Robert." Jim said.

Tommy nodded, held the phone, looked into the distance, and said, "That's right, it's Robert, ask him to help check Zoe Winters, a news reporter for WORC TV in Worcester, Massachusetts, she seems to have a news investigation going on, I mean, to see if there is any help that can be provided to the sufferers she is investigating, such as sponsoring some hush money to the TV station?" Or let your friends scare and scare the TV station, in short, find some trouble and let her be fired by the TV station, or the TV station will force her to resign voluntarily, and I will pay for it. ”

"I remember there's a girl named Zoe in your CS gang?" Jim digested Tommy's words, and then a sentence came out of his mouth.

Tommy didn't deny it: "It's her, that is a quiet chick on the outside but irritable on the inside, the four professions with the highest mortality rate in the United States, accountants, journalists, lawyers, police officers, she is now in second place, I don't want her to die too early because of her adherence to ideals and work ethic, after all, I am not ready to attend her funeral." ”

Stephen heard that Tommy was going to make Robert lose his job, and stood up with a dissatisfied face, ready to stop Tommy's behavior, in his opinion, Zoe is not an excuse for Tommy to calculate her behind his back, Zoe loves her job, as a friend, what she should do is to support and help the other party when they need it.

But in the next second, after hearing what Tommy continued to say, Stephen closed his mouth, Tommy Hawk is still the veritable boss of the CS gang.

Tommy said lightly into the phone: "And I'll prepare a new job for her at the news network, and if those big moments that can win the Pulitzer Prize for journalism always need reporters to be there to witness the world, then why can't that reporter be my Miss Vixen." ”
