Chapter 367: Crushed to death
Because the conversation with Penny and his daughter was a little longer, the people behind seemed to be a little dissatisfied, so Locke could only hand them the signed book, encourage Penny a few more words, and then signal the people in the back line to come forward.
At nightfall, the writers' fraternity is also held at this time.
"These writers are really idle, I heard that Random House often prepares such parties?" Ashley took Locke's hand.
"Make connections." Locke laughed in a low voice: "Everyone braggs and farts together, carries guns and cannons, and as a writer, as long as there is some fame, long-term income is guaranteed."
After earning money, the motivation to write naturally decreases a lot, usually a book is published only a few years, and there is very little time for writing, and the rest of the time is looking for inspiration, collecting materials, and conceiving the plot, in fact, inspiration is this thing...... Hehe! ”
"Of course I do." Ashley gave Locke a look I understood: "The muse of the artist, only the goddess can give you enough inspiration, a goddess and a work, just like you, earn money, isn't it just a wave." ”
"Why did it suddenly come to me, didn't you mean someone else?" Locke coughed lightly, a little speechless, and changed the subject: "By the way, do you have any thoughts about going to sea to play?" ”
"Go to sea?!" Ashley asked, "Did you deliver your custom-made yacht?" I remember you not talking about next year. ”
"Someone gave me two tickets and invited me to a show." Locke said and took out two beautifully shaped tickets: "Argo cruise, luxury 75-degree sea view private room, the first voyage of the Pacific Ocean in the summer!" ”
"Luxury cruises, Pacific Rim? It's not bad to go and have fun, but I haven't been out to sea yet, just the two of us? "Ashley has something to look forward to.
"Peggy is going back to Texas, Tang Wei has just graduated, she wants to go back to the East to visit relatives, not with us, but the cruise ship will pass by the Xiangjiang River over there, and when we get to the place, we will get off the ship, and then go to the East, I have actually always wanted to go to the East to see, and Peggy will come directly to meet us after the business in Texas is done."
Locke's idea of going to the East Country was not a whim, he had this idea for a long time, although they were two different worlds and their identities had changed, but it was good to go and see how to invest there.
Anyway, in these years, it is the time to attract investment, you can invest a sum of money to set up an investment company, as long as you are not fooled by scammers, there is a great possibility to make money by casual investment.
As for the ticket for this luxury cruise ship, it was sent by Lorraine, in fact, to invite Locke to watch her complete revenge.
The Argo claims to be the most luxurious cruise ship in the world, and most of the passengers on this maiden voyage are wealthy people, to say the least, with a net worth of tens of millions.
Carrot Youying, who had sent someone to capture Lorraine in Brazil, also took part in the first voyage of the cruise, and Lorraine decided to kill him on the cruise.
Inviting Locke was to let him witness it, but Lorraine still remembered how embarrassed he was when he was rescued by Locke, so he wanted to prove to Locke that it was just an accident.
Ashley didn't know Lorraine, so Locke didn't say anything about it, but Ashley knew that Locke had always liked the culture of the Eastern Kingdom, and there were many original books in Chinese in the study, and she had said more than once that she had the opportunity to go there, but she didn't expect it to suddenly happen.
"Looks like you've got it all planned." Ashley said, "In that case, you still ask me what I'm doing." ”
"It's all coming together." Locke knew that something was wrong, and quickly remedied: "I also just received the ferry ticket during the lunch break, so I have this plan temporarily, and I am planning to discuss it with you." ”
Ashley thought that at noon, there was indeed a courier boy who sent a courier with no mailing address to Locke, and it seemed that it should be these two tickets.
Originally, she was a little unhappy just because Locke didn't discuss anything with her, so she was a little unhappy to make a decision directly, but she didn't care after listening to the explanation, Locke said a few more good words, and the two of them quickly laughed.
"Locke!." At this moment, a voice came, and following the voice, Locke raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Miss Amy." Locke nodded with the other party, put his arm around Ashley's waist, and said, "I didn't expect you to come to this party, this is my girlfriend Ashley, Ashley, this is the famous Magic Amy." ”
"Hello." Magical Amy's smile appeared a little unnatural, and she looked at Ashley, who was slightly shorter than herself, but had an extremely perfect figure, and frowned unconsciously.
Locke had seen Wonder Amy at a New York writer's party before, and Locke was in a wanton mentality at that time, not to mention girls like Rachel, MAX and Caroline, even Catherine Chumay, Dr. Elizabeth, and Ms. Manna all tried it, and naturally there was no reason to miss Amazing Amy, and the two sides had a brief one-night relationship.
"I've admired the name for a long time!" Ashley smiled and held out her hand and shook hands with the amazing Amy.
When she was a child, Ashley also fascinated the magical Amy for a while, but as her knowledge grew, she gradually lost that mentality, especially the woman's intuition, telling her that the magical Amy in front of her was fighting Locke's idea, which made her even more vigilant.
"You held a signing party in Boston, and you didn't tell me in advance, so that I could do my landlord's friendship." Amy quickly turned to Locke.
"Everything has already been arranged by the publisher, so there is no need to bother." Locke smiled and said, "How are you doing?" ”
"That's it, I also met a scumbag who wanted to force me back." Amazing Amy's eyes rolled and became a little pitiful: "But New York is a good place, my parents have been discussing settling in New York recently, I think it's not bad, maybe we can see each other often." ”
"I've heard about it, that person seems to be your ex-boyfriend, but his aesthetic is not quite the same as Locke's."
Seeing that the woman in front of her dared to hook up with Locke in front of her, Ashley was not easy to mess with, and straightened her chest directly. But it's right A, although she's not MAX, she can also crush to death.
Magical Amy glanced at Ashley, her eyes were extremely indifferent, which made Ashley frown, and intuitively felt that there was something wrong with the woman in front of her.
"Can we talk individually?" Seeing that Ashley was not frightened, Marvelous Amy did not continue, but sent an invitation to Locke.
"It's fine."
Locke didn't plan to continue with the other party, he still had that exciting feeling for the other party's fame before, and it was a period of time when he was high-spirited and reckless, so he couldn't help but try it.
Now he has a different mentality, and naturally has little interest in a dangerous woman, as if he is now quietly alienating Catherine Chumei and Dr. Elizabeth.
The magical Amy in front of her wants to play a straight ball at this time, and Locke will not go around in circles with the other party, as for some small means under her unwillingness, is it still a matter for Locke now, he has too many means to deal with it.
