Chapter 3: Club Retirement Ceremony
At 5:59 a.m., when the alarm clock was about to ring, Tommy opened his eyes, looked at the room with a sense of sleepiness, and then sat up suddenly: "Shit! ”
He glanced at the strange woman lying beside him, with messy long hair, who was still asleep, and his arm was still on his lower abdomen.
This is the German woman I met at the party after sending Sophia away last night, I don't know what the specific origin is, anyway, I didn't come to Hollywood to make a name for myself, the unknown German actress neighbor who lives in Beverly Hills is the parent of my son's classmate, this woman drank a few glasses alone, and she was not in a very good mood, when Tommy came over, she complained to him about some problems about life, but Tommy didn't remember, only remembered that the woman in her early forties was not wearing a wedding ring, and then she drank a few glasses and rolled into bed.
"Wake up! Lady! Tommy lifted the blanket from the other party and urged him to get up.
The blanket was lifted, revealing the other party's full figure, Tommy couldn't help but whistle when he saw this scene, and then reached out and pinched the other party's heavy two lumps with unfinished intentions: "I didn't notice this beautiful scene last night." ”
"What's wrong?" The woman lazily opened her eyes and looked at them, then continued to close her eyes, slapped Tommy's hand moving on her chest, and said in English with a German accent: "Go and find the first German woman you told me about last night, I have no opinion, you are a gentleman who does what you say, I am satisfied, don't bother me again, let me sleep well." ”
At this time, the door of the double bedroom was pushed open from the outside, and the woman who wanted to continue sleeping was suddenly frightened by the sound of opening the door, grabbed the blanket and blocked it in front of her, Tommy sighed depressedly, and watched the person decisively betray the female companion next to her: "It was this lady who said that she wanted to come to this bedroom...... Not me. ”
Walking in was an old woman in her seventies, with gray hair, vigorous gait, wearing old-fashioned and monotonous clothes, wearing gloves and carrying a set of men's morning jogging equipment, looking at the men and women on the bed with an expressionless face: "Jenny's husband's mother, if she knew, would definitely hate you." ”
Noticing that the other party's face was not good, the woman slapped Tommy's hand, which was still kneading under the blanket, and asked in a low voice, "Is she...... Your mom? ”
After all, when Tommy accosted her last night, he said that he was only fifty years old, and the woman looked at Tommy's well-maintained face and strong muscles, and did not suspect that Tommy was actually sixty years old, enough to be her father, but always believed that he was a peer of the same age as herself.
"It's worse than that, my mom only raised me, and this lady ...... Many of my family have personally breastfed. Tommy reluctantly retracted his hand and greeted the old lady who came in, "Good morning, Dorothy." ”
The person who came was Tommy Hawke, Tommy's daughter Genenice Hawke, Tommy's grandson Leo Hawke, and Dorothy, the head of the Eagle's Nest, who had served the Hawke family for forty years.
Dorothy pressed a button, and then the curtains of the bedroom floor-to-ceiling windows slowly opened, and the morning sun shone in from the outside, she hung up the morning running gear in her hand next to her, and began to tidy up the room as if no one was around: "Good morning, sir, after the morning run, the district manager of the Bank of California asked to have breakfast with you." ”
Tommy got out of bed naked, put on his morning jogging clothes, and asked, "Why?" ”
"The ATM they installed at home, last night, at your instigation, was broken by the children, they spent seven hours, tried all kinds of tools, and finally disassembled the ATM, proved the power of physics, and took out more than 80,000 yuan in cash for today's expenses, and you promised to bear the bank's losses last night." Dorothy waited for Tommy to get dressed, prepared a glass of water, and took out a pill box from her pocket.
Tommy nodded, not denying: "I remember, I told them that it is more interesting to sit in front of the computer and play games all the time, and whoever can open that ATM, the cash in it will be his bonus, but remember to remind them that this kind of small game is only limited to my house, I don't want to see a group of young nerds smashing ATMs on the street in Los Angeles today." ”
"They're going to visit Caltech today." Dorothy handed Tommy the pill box and water.
"It's nice to be an energetic eighteen-year-old." Tommy took the pill box and took the health medicine prescribed to be taken before the meal, then walked out of the bedroom, and waved to the German woman who was still sluggish on the bed before going out: "You can continue to sleep, but you have to change rooms...... This room ...... Anyway, change rooms as soon as possible and bye. ”
Tommy disappeared outside the door, and the German woman on the bed looked at Dorothy, who continued to clean up the room: "Hello?" Can I get dressed and come in and clean up? ”
"Just ignore me, just like I do right now." Dorothy looked at each other.
The woman shrugged her shoulders and made a helpless expression, then generously put down the blanket covering her carcass and began to put on her clothes: "This room belongs to you?" ”
"No, it once belonged to another German woman." Dorothy looked at the woman with a playful look in her eyes: "So, it's funny that you're here." ”
"To be correct, I'm only German, and after I came to the U.S. to study in college, I applied to join the U.S." The woman couldn't stand being stared at with such playfulness by the same sex, and hurriedly got dressed and walked out of the bedroom: "Goodbye, ma'am." ”
Dorothy watched the other person leave: "Goodbye, Victim Two." ”
……
Tommy was on a decades-long morning jog accompanied by a fitness instructor and bodyguard, when bodyguard John handed him the phone: "Sir, Justice Farrell's phone." ”
"Ortilia?" Tommy paused, took the phone and asked.
"Running in the morning?"
"It's over, I just went to the community management center to complain, suggesting that they introduce a new community rule, that is, it is strictly forbidden to go out for a morning run and be scary for ugly* old women who have failed to manage their bodies." Tommy held the phone, surveyed his surroundings, and said to Otilia.
Otilia on the other side of the phone said helplessly: "What happened again? You've bought half of the Beverly Hills community, and no one should be harassing you anymore. ”
"It's the other half of the residents of the Beverly neighborhood that I haven't bought yet, yes, I just stepped on an old woman on a morning jog, but when I stopped and turned around to apologize, I couldn't be sure if I had stepped on her foot or Naiko! Do you know how horrible this is? It can make me not feel good for a day! Tommy said confidently.
"Not everyone can be like you, as long as you have time, stick to morning jogging, swimming, and stay in shape every day."
Tommy looked around with a smug smile on his face: "Otherwise, what would I use to attract my beautiful ex-wife to remarry me?" The same potbelly and clubs that can't be woken up like those losers? What was the outcome of last night's meeting? ”
Otilia smiled on the other end of the phone, "That's what you were expecting." ”
"So, let's talk about our wedding, with my father, my father-in-law, and mother-in-law still alive and able to attend the witness, let's hold a small family wedding and return to the family." After Tommy listened to Otilia's words, he smiled and changed the subject.
Otilia said with mockery: "Really? Have you figured it out? I think you should call Tony, and he should be willing to discuss with you the rules you need to know and follow if you want to go back to Hawke. ”
"You're looking more and more like an Italian woman, okay, I'll call him."
Tommy hung up the phone, took another phone from the bodyguard, and dialed a number: "The feedback from Otilia makes me believe that it is your subordinate, Rear Admiral Neil Alito, who is the ghost, please, he has managed nearly 300 large military supermarkets in the US Department of Defense around the world, with sales of 5 billion a year, this can't satisfy him, you must find a way to intervene in my small business?" ”
"Head of the Department of Defense Barracks Supermarket Management Division, Neil Alito?" Tony on the other side of the phone, his voice was hoarse and calm: "The military camp supermarket is the biggest unpaid benefit for soldiers in the military department, Tommy, five billion sales, almost no profit, the goods are resold to soldiers without a price increase after purchase, I can understand why he wants to meddle in the order business, because the supermarket business is not profitable." ”
"That's not your business, my dear brother, Admiral Leon." Tommy hooked his finger at the bodyguard, and the other party helped him light a cigarette, and Tommy took a puff:
"What you should consider is whether you should talk to him about quitting my business with dignity, or I should arrange a traffic accident, the difference is that if you talk to him, he can continue to be the owner of his barracks Wal-Mart, I find him, his supermarket business will also belong to me, and then I will bring all kinds of cheap recreational medicines to all the soldiers in the United States in the supermarket."
"He's an SSD alumnus, he's very reliable, he's my junior, he started his military career on my ship, Tommy, it's not that serious, and I think it's ......" Tony reminded when he heard his brother's words.
"Brother, I understand your position, you have to consider your brothers, subordinates, after all, they are working hard for you, you have to give them benefits, but benefits cannot be the fundamental interests of the Hawke family! You can get them to dabble in other finance, medical biology, AI intelligence, and even building rockets to shoot into the sky, which are very profitable, and I'm willing to help. Tommy interrupts Tony:
"It took me 40 years to integrate the Hawke family's industry into what it is now, it took me 40 years to make KeyBank the largest Internet bank, to make WinStar more than $1 trillion in market value, to make it the sixth largest defense contractor in the United States, and the first largest defense information technology service contractor in the United States, and it took me 40 years to make the Hawke family eligible to participate in the annual $800 billion defense and military spending sharing feast in the United States, and share these banknotes at the same table with Boeing, General Motors, and Lockheed."
"It took me 40 years to be like them, to engrave a $5 retail USB flash drive with a special logo for national defense and security, and then sell it to the Department of Defense at $985 to earn a profit of 980 yuan, and then divide it among you and other profiteers 500 yuan, and easily earn a profit of 480 yuan, so that I can use the inflatable doll as a soldier mental illness information collection robot, and sell it to American soldiers at a price higher than that of Hollywood actresses, so that they can use plastic products to relieve pressure, and everyone is happy. After all, it's the stupid* taxpayers in the United States who are not qualified to complain who pay! You have to understand that selling software, computers, and mobile phones is not as good as selling garbage to the US Department of Defense in a low-key and legal manner! I sell an AmigaOS system to ordinary people for $49.9, and it needs to be updated regularly, but if it is sold to the Pentagon, the decimal point can be erased from the price, and three more zeros can be added, and if something goes wrong, you can make another profit for repairs. ”
"And with such a legitimate, lucrative business, and long-term restrictions, you actually want to consider letting other people get involved? I beg you, dear brother, don't always think about things as the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States, my mother is dead, and in this bullshit country where killing my mother can make criminals bail easily, there is nothing worth guarding except for your family, you are the head of the Hawke family! All you should care about is that your brother hasn't eaten yet, so let your dog get away! ”
"If your junior dares to reach out to my plate again, I'll let Otilia send his brother to jail to help the nigga**! Then use his brother's scandal to force him to resign, and then have a traffic accident, those evidence of his brother's violation of the law, someone will send it to you, you can use it however you like. ”
"I'll talk to Neil and find him some other business." Tony listened to Tommy's dissatisfaction and was silent for a while before speaking.
Tommy slowed down: "I'm not going to see him jump out and ask for trouble again, right?" ”
"He's not going to show up again."
"Very well, John, any feedback on what I asked Ted about before I went to visit Benjamin yesterday?" Tommy asked, looking at Little Peppa.
Paige nodded, not speaking.
Tommy said into the phone: "As far as I know, another active Navy 'old sailor' medal of honor winner, there will be some serious scandals in the past two days, remember to pay attention, Ted will let the Internet and TV networks focus on publicity, if he takes the blame and resigns, then you will become the only active Pentagon admiral with the 'old sailor' medal, after all, your birthday is coming, and I can't think of any special gimmick, I just want to give this to you as a birthday gift." ”
"The admiral who broke the scandal in your mouth is not only my competitor, but also my alumnus and my brother." Tony said.
"The road up will get narrower and narrower, first there will be no room for enemies, then friends, and finally brothers, and when you reach the final end, you will be the only one left." Tommy flicked the ash of his cigarette: "That's why I won't go the same path as you, by the way, Otilia said, I will remarry her, and you will come and talk to me on behalf of her family, and teach me some of the rules of the Hawke family." ”
"You are not allowed to around, Tommy, Otilia is the woman of the Hawke family, you must respect her, I want you to tell me in person, you will not fool around with other women after marriage, Sophia and your Hollywood mistress I can bear, Ottilia also has the same attitude as me, after all, their existence is a fact, but there can be no other women." Tony said seriously to Tommy on the phone:
"Otilia is now the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and there can be no more scandals around her, and if there is a stain, I will ask the people of the Hawke family to erase that stain."
"So, you're saying that the rest of my life is left to spend every night with one of the three old women who are over sixty years old?" Tommy said.
Tony teased: "Sorry, I forgot, and Leo's grandmother, that German woman, you are such a scumbag." ”
"For the honor of the Hawker family, my clubs are ready for retirement?"
"I hope you respect her, if there is only one woman who can stand by your side and bear the surname of Hawke, it can only be her, she has sacrificed enough, don't think about trying to become a stain, otherwise I will be the same as Daddy said, castrating you."
"Why don't you intimidate Bessia? She's playing crazier than I am. ”
"She's single, her husband doesn't have the status of a justice or president, and if she had, I would have counseled her."
"So, what can I do, what I can do, is what Dennis said to me the other day, the day before the wedding, let me call some old friends and he will come and do a bachelorette party for me to have Tommy Hawk's club retirement ceremony?"
