The next morning, Martin receives a call from Bruce, who asks Vincent and Sophia to have a drink at the House of the Beast.

Martin drove to Saijo Street and entered the club. Bruce stood behind the bar and poured his drink. Vincent took off his cowboy hat, beckoned to Martin, waited for Martin to sit down at the bar, and said, "A toast." "Martin clinks glasses with him, and Sophia, toast together.

Vincent put down his glass: "A very good movie, a very good investment. Martin smiled: "Boss, I'm a grateful person." Sophia chimed in, "You're a smart guy too. Martin's gaze drifted over Lao Bu's face, Lao Bu didn't say anything, he simply nodded directly: "Boss, Sophia, you are looking for me more than inviting me to a bar?" This time Vincent didn't speak, and Sophia answered: "When the crew was filming, I heard that you plan to go to Los Angeles to develop. Martin nodded: "There is a plan for this." Sophia motioned to Lao Bu to pour wine: "There are many opportunities in Los Angeles, there are many film companies, and there are many crews, and I heard that there are hundreds of movies shot every year." Martin told the truth: "I've never been to Los Angeles, and I don't know exactly. Sophia received a notice from the studio this morning, and she was very satisfied with the previous investment, this kind of business is not done, so she and Vincent set their eyes on Martin again: "Hollywood movies are often tens of millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars of investment, if you can meet such an opportunity, don't forget the old friends of Atlanta." Hearing this, Martin put his mind at ease, not to mention anything else, he can bring capital into the group at a critical moment.

He barely had to think about it, and his words were filled with sincere feelings: "Atlanta is my home, even if I go farther, I will come back one day, why?" Here are my most cherished memories and friends. As he spoke, Martin deliberately glanced at Lao Bu.

Bruce was very tacit and secretly gave him a middle finger. Martin continued: "There is an investment opportunity, how can you forget about you? I told Vincent that this time I was able to win the leading actor, all because of your investment support. Sophia raised a glass: "I propose, toast to our future cooperation." Martin clinked glasses with her and Vincent, and drank the wine.

At this time, he found that Sophia's curved upper arms were thicker than Lily's thighs. Martin realizes something is wrong, why Lily's legs?

He definitely didn't peek at it. Vincent then said, "One of my most successful investments to date was lending money to Jack Davis, which introduced me to Martin. Martin was helpless: "Boss, can we not mention Jack?" ”

"That old bastard hasn't been in touch with you?" Vincent laughed rarely, "If I were you, Martin, I would have broken his leg when I saw him again." Martin shook his head: "Because it's not worth it for him to go to jail." Sophia continued to let Bruce pour the wine: "Let's have another drink." Martin clinked glasses with them again.

While Vincent and Sophia were drinking, Bruce gave him a sudden look. Martin understood, talked about the so-called investment again, and said goodbye at the right time: "I want to go to the Marietta Theater, and I can't miss the appointment with the head of the troupe." Sophia held out her hand: "We'll talk another day." Martin politely shook her hand like a stone: "Okay." "Leaving the club, Martin went to the Marietta Theatre Company, and Jerome did make an appointment to meet him.

As soon as he entered the community theater, he saw dozens of people sitting in the theater, and there were seven or eight Robert with big heads standing on the stage, instructing them in their performances.

Robert became a teacher...... Martin waved at the stage and went straight to the second-floor office. Jerome pointed to the other side: "Sit." Martin sat down and said, "The troupe is thriving. Jerome understated: "There are a lot of newcomers, the company has signed an agreement with Gray Company to use extras, and many extras are seeking to join the troupe. Martin heard Andrew say this: "The late-night drama of Gray's company will not stop, the head of the troupe, you contact Andrew." ”

"I will." Jerome changed the subject: "Last night, I was on the phone with Robert Patrick and told him about you, and he said that you are in Los Angeles and you can go to Sherman Oakes to find him. The head of the regiment handed Martin a card with the address on it: "Patrick will help you with something." Martin said solemnly: "Thank you, Commander." Jerome suddenly accentuated: "Martin, you are a member of the Marietta Theater Company, since you go to Los Angeles, you have to work hard to make a appearance, don't embarrass the theater company." Martin assured, "Captain, I will." ”

"I want to thank you for all this you have done for the troupe, without you the troupe would not be where it is today." Jerome sighed lightly: "I, the head of the regiment, have limited abilities, so I can only help you with this." Martin wanted to invite Jerome to lunch with him, but Jerome politely declined.

Go downstairs and call Robert, Robert is very busy, just take the time to come and talk to him.

"After the photo of me and the group photo was published, a very beautiful actor took the initiative to pursue me." Robert whispered about a recent encounter: "I know that she has a crush on nothing else than me. Martin was very cooperative: "What about the back?" Robert said: "The day before yesterday she pestered me, I bought a bottle of Coke, Coke may have just fallen or something, I didn't pay attention, unscrewed the cap, and the Coke that came out sprayed her all over her head, and she was going to sue me." Martin found a lawyer's phone number and sent it to Robert: "Go consult a professional." Robert looked at it, his head drooping a little, "I don't know why, I had bad luck when you were in Savannah." Martin thought of Ma Zhenxi and Adam Smith, and said solemnly: "Bear with me for a while, keep your phone open, I may call you at any time when I go to Los Angeles." Robert flinched: "To go to Los Angeles is to leave my hometown." ”

"We'll talk about it then." Martin knows that it is useless to say more now: "I made an appointment with Lao Bu for dinner, if you don't go, I'll go." "I'm now the chief acting instructor of the Marietta Community Theatre Troupe, and I have to teach these rookies. Leaving the troupe, Martin went to the Rosario restaurant last time, waited for Bruce to come over, and ordered some Mexican food.

Bruce reminded him: "Be careful when drinking with Sophia in the future, she drinks a lot." Martin immediately started to think: "Lao Bu, you won't be drunk......"

"Shut up!" Bruce didn't want to mention it at first, but after a while his face showed sadness: "I didn't know at the time, I had a few more drinks with her, and I got drunk...... Martin poured him a beer: "It's a sad story, people who are good people will eventually be beaten by people." Bruce was about to drink beer, and when he heard this, he subconsciously lifted his coat.

Martin hurriedly said: "Civilized people, there are patrol officers over there, don't give the son of a bitch a chance to empty the magazine." Bruce withdrew his hand: "You're lucky with shit!" Martin remembered Scott and asked, "How long will Sophia's interest in a person last?" Bruce shook his head: "Not necessarily, some are longer, and some are tired of it in a few days." Martin asked, "The worst end?" Bruce couldn't help laughing: "As far as I know, Sophia has never killed anyone, and the worst one is just a prolapse of the anus." Martin thought of a possibility: "It can't be you, right?" Bruce really wanted to pull out the gun: "You stinky shit, I must take off your skull, see what kind of dog pull......s it in" Martin said again: "Old Bu, why are you so excited?" ”

"yes, why should I be excited?" Bruce suddenly calmed down and said, "If you encounter another rotten thing that needs to wipe your ass, don't come to me, I won't help you if I give me 100,000 dollars." Just as the waiter brought the food, Martin said, "Dinner, I'll invite you to this meal." Bruce changed his words again: "For your sake, next time you come to me to charge double the fee." Martin picked up a piece of black pepper beef: "Don't worry, when I look for you again, I will book you a first-class cabin and a five-star suite, and by the way, prepare a big-ass beauty." After the two finished eating, Martin paid the bill and drove back to the community.

When I entered Carter's house, I heard Lily shouting, "Hall, you stupid pig, come and see if I'm taller than Elena." Lily, who was barefoot, stood on Elena's side and gestured with her hand: "I'm really taller than you." She saw Martin: "Look, isn't it." Martin chewed gum and sat down on the single couch.

Elena didn't bother to bother with her, picked up two magazines and walked to the single sofa and sat down on the armrest next to him.

Lily put her hands behind her back and said solemnly: "Elena, I am taller than you, you can't move anything to me in the future......" Before she finished speaking, the magazine in Elena's hand flew out and smashed on her face.

Lily covered her stiff nose and said in an urn voice, "Martin, are you a masochist?" Like to be hairked by this kind of violent woman? Martin picks up the baseball that Hall threw on the couch and catches it.

Lily stopped talking and sat down on the couch in a huff. Elena pointed to the room, "Go and help Hall with homework." As it turns out, Lily has grown taller and is still a younger sister who can only succumb to Elena's obscenity.

Elena and Martin were tired of it for a while, looked at the time, and said, "Harris drove a Ford to make a delivery, and you sent me to work?" Martin slapped Elena on the buttocks: "Glad to oblige." The two got into the BMW, and Martin drove out of the community.

There were just two of them in the car. Coming to the Blue Water Bar, Martin stopped the car and asked Elena, "Do you want to live in Los Angeles?" ”

"Why go to Los Angeles?" When Elena got a regular job, she stopped swearing: "My home is in Atlanta, my family is in Atlanta, and my family and friends are all in Atlanta. Martin said, "You can go together." ”

"I'll have to wait for Emma to come back." Elena was deeply worried: "If she comes back and we are not there, Scott will get nervous and hurt her, no matter what she does, she is Lily and Hall's mother." She took the initiative to avoid this topic: "The movie you acted in, when will it be released, take me to see it." ”
