Chapter 4: The Way Home

Tommy changed into casual clothes, put on his sunglasses, and walked to the car that had stopped in front of the gate of the Eagle's Nest.

"It's a very cool car." The nerd-like Hilbert leaned against the pillar next to him, saw Tommy walking towards the car, straightened up and spoke.

It's a four-seater roadster with an all-over black and blue body, and you don't need to look at the interior, you just need to see the golden goddess emblem standing above the large radiator grille at the front of the car, and you can understand that this mechanical monster is expensive.

Limited to 200 units worldwide, it was once the largest, most expensive and most luxurious four-seater roadster Rolls-Royce Adventure IV in the world.

"It would cost enough to buy three more of them." Tommy turned his head and looked at his son, "Dorothy said you were going to visit Caltech with your high school friends today. ”

Hilbert spread his hands a little nervously: "They've already set off, I'...... Belch...... Just now my mother called and said that before you remarry her, Uncle Dennis is going to help you have a bachelor party......"

Seeing his nervous look, Tommy frowned, "I didn't plan to invite you to attend. ”

"Uh...... Before my mother left last night, she left it to me and asked me to give it to you, and she asked you to wait until the day of the party to open it. Hilbert handed Tommy an envelope.

Tommy's eyes were fixed on his son, and he tore open the envelope with neat hands.

Inside is a postcard of Newport scenery, on the back is a handwritten phrase by Otilia "Have fun, remember to go home for dinner the next day", and then there is a Villegon, a Trojan glued to it.

Hilbert quietly moved his steps next to him to take a look, and whispered, "Very warm." ”

"I never needed it, and it came at a very high cost." Tommy ripped off the pill and threw it away, then pinned the postcard to the front of the car: "The wedding is two weeks away, and all I can do is drive this car through America alone, complete the last pleasure hunt, and then return to the family as a castrated old horse." ”

Hilbert said, "Perhaps...... It's not alone, I mean, I can go home with you, it's ......"

"Are you considering studying at Stanford University?" Tommy asks a strange question when he sees his son offering to accompany him on this long journey.

Hilbert shook his head: "No, I didn't think about it, MIT is my only faith. ”

"Stay away from me, then, kid."

Hilbert said a little frantically: "I explained to you, SSD is not for me, my teacher recommended me to join the cooler physics honor brotherhood, which is full of classmates who like physics, I once tried to please you, to try to understand SSD, but I can't accept some of the things they talked to me, such as I don't understand, why I want to join SSD, I have to be stuffed with a hundred coins in their ass, Zama step to stand up, and then let another rookie blow the inflatable hammer to hit my head, Until I shook my head with a force and dropped all the coins out of my ass! This is naked bullying and humiliation, and when you joined the SSD, you were also stuffed with chrysanthemums with coins? ”

"How cool is the way they recruit now? Well, I'll admit, I haven't enjoyed it, and you can say no, after all, I think it's a bit of an exaggeration, and the first time that thing was left to your Connie or some other girl. Tommy noticed the way Hilbert looked at him, and immediately explained that he hadn't enjoyed this kind of trick back then.

"If you don't start your life according to your plan, you're going to be cold and violent to that person, right?" Hilbert plucked up his courage and said to Tommy.

Tommy raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction: "I didn't force anyone, son, have you been subjected to my cold violence?" You can still go and read MIT, but I'm a little sad that after all, a lot of Stanford's resources are now cheaper for another person. ”

"Another child? Who? ”

"Archie, your Aunt Diane's son, a few years older than you, took a break from high school for a while, but recently he was willing to listen to my advice and go to Stanford University to study, majoring in information engineering."

"The child of the lady who used to play mom in the movie? Like Felise, I have another half-sibling? If one day, the descendants of the Hawke family will be overwhelmed by the need to organize the family tree, or my sister Jenny may ask that the genealogy of your branch should never be made public. ”

"Can't put your eggs in one basket, see you at the wedding in Newport, son." Tommy patted Hilbert on the shoulder, then turned and got into the car, and started the car and drove away, and his last teaching to his son came from the wind:

"I don't belong to the Hawke family, you open the Internet, and you can't find any information about me in the last twenty years, so don't want to know how many siblings I have given birth to you."

……

Stephen Ben, dressed in black, followed the crowd out of the church when he saw Tommy leaning against the front of the car, looking at him with a cigarette in his mouth:

"Your assistant said you came here for the funeral."

"My girlfriend's grandfather died." Stephen walked over, ripped off the white flower on his chest, pointed to the beautiful woman in the distance with an irrepressible smile on her face, who looked to be in her twenties at most, and introduced Tommy: "Her grandfather was two years older than me, and he was the senior of the Order of the Phoenix when I was in college. ”

Tommy took out his cigarette and handed it to him: "The smiles on those people's faces make me feel that it is not their relatives who have died, but their enemies. ”

"Because I did something really stupid." Stephen lights his cigarette and looks at Tommy.

Tommy had a knowing expression: "You proposed to your senior's lovely granddaughter at his funeral?" Are you afraid that if he proposes to his granddaughter while he is alive, your senior will break your club? ”

Stephen smiled wistfully and nodded lightly at Tommy, "That's right, albeit a little ...... Unexpectedly, but I did, I couldn't be alone in the coffin like her grandfather, and I wanted to have a family around my body, racking my brains to remember the few good things I had done in my life, and to say them out loud before God, hoping that God would bless me to ascend to heaven for the sake of the good things I had done. ”

"Unless an accident happens, with the current level of medical care, you will have to wait about forty to fifty years for a natural death, and in terms of time, you can indeed create a lot of relatives with your little girlfriend and let them surround your body after death." Tommy spat out a smoke ring: "If you count those real and fake illegitimate children, your family group can expand several times." ”

"Let's change the subject, what do you want me to talk to, let me know, because I can't deal with the accusation that Caver violated U.S. securities laws in a timely manner, so are you going to change someone else to take care of the business, let me retire and focus on my honeymoon, or do you have some other streaming-related business to talk to me?" Stephen asked Tommy.

Stephen Bine, who is now the out-and-out king of Hollywood, or the grave keeper of Hollywood, has been ruined by many film companies under his Crave online video stream, Crave, which is a remake of Netflix arranged by Tommy for Stephen, but it is more harmful to Hollywood than Netflix, which does not exist today, because long before the Internet could not achieve smooth online video playback, Stephen was instructed by Tommy, Entered Hollywood in the posture of a golden fool, deceived a group of people, and wantonly bought the online broadcast rights of seventy percent of the Hollywood film company's film library, and when the Internet streaming era came, Crave started the self-made film and television business for the first time regardless of losses, which led to the Internet streaming era, no film company or even video company has such a rich source of Crave's films, not only American movies, but also the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, Japan, South Korea, etc.

Today, Crave has more than 340 million paid subscribers around the world, with a subscription fee of $9.99, and more than 3 billion dollars per month just for paid subscription revenue, although the cost is also amazing, but this kind of behemoth is no longer something that Hollywood studios can fight, because it speaks with intuitive data, such as Crave's promise not to blink, producing 300 original film and television works a year, with a production budget of up to $15 billion. So that no director or actor in the world can refuse Crave's invitation.

Those traditional studios have now become content providers for Crave.

Now Stephen Ben has realized his original dream, and his office is full of Amy Awards and Oscar Grand Slams, and he has collected all the awards for these two award ceremonies.

Tommy shook his head: "The guy who accused Crave committed suicide, and the Supreme Court finally said that after the investigation, it was found that the other party had insufficient evidence, and I didn't come to talk about business, Stephen, I just want to say, I'm also getting married." ”

"Let me guess, it must not be Sophia, because it is not necessary, and Diane can't be, that stupid woman was brainwashed by you to become a medieval woman, so it is the mother of Jenny's husband, the German woman who has been in Stanford for a few years, and the in-laws who have been made belly bigger by you? Her husband finally couldn't stand this strange life and committed suicide? Seeing that Tommy's expression didn't look like a joke, Stephen began his own speculation:

"Or is it that Sandra Bullock's lawyer sister? She's quite worthy of you, just like you, not to mention that she and you are in a pure employment relationship, I know you often play Arhat with her at the Four Seasons Hotel......"

"Otilia." Tommy said to Stephen.

Stephen was stunned and looked at Tommy: "Otilia? You're kidding, right? Otilia Farrell who was hurt by you, Justice Otilia Farrell of America? ”

"Jenny's exposure in Germany will continue to increase in the coming years, and it is necessary to show the public that she comes from an excellent and recognizable family, that the family is harmonious, that her mother is a judge, her father is a small businessman, and that she has a happy childhood." Tommy spat out a smoke ring: "I thought that the resistance to remarriage and returning to the family would come from my brother, my father and even Otilia, but I didn't expect that only Jenny voted against, she didn't feel that I was needed to help create a false happy upbringing." ”

"She's still hating you." Stephen said of Jenny, and his face was a little unhappy: "You have made Jenny unwilling to go back to the United States, and I, the godfather, have to go on vacation to Germany to see her, poor girl." ”

"Hate me for what? I'll admit that I did* her husband's mom, but that was before I married her to each other! And I compensated Jenny, I gave her a whole Germany for her to go wild. Tommy dropped the cigarette butt and looked at Stephen: "I promised Otilia that I would not mess around again after marriage, so the bachelorette party that Dennis helped me organize the day before the wedding was the last chance for me to deal with the young flesh, remember to come and attend." ”

"The price of marriage is a bit big, after listening to your words, I have to reconsider whether to marry my little girlfriend now, after all...... I'm just sixty years old, and I'm not used to being alone with her for the rest of my life. Stephen smiled at Tommy, "I'm guessing you'll drive along the way to tell Jason, Jim, and Pam and say hello to them on my behalf." ”

"See you at the club retirement ceremony." Tommy got into the driver's seat and started the car and drove along the road.
