America 1982

Atlantic City, ***Casino Resort Hotel.

The top-floor duplex room of this hotel is named Roma.

The entire Roman Hall has a huge circular main venue, thirty supporting guest rooms, and a terrace with the best views in Atlantic City.

At this moment, two bands with different styles were placed on two opposite stages like gladiators, playing hard like cockfighting cocks. They were black jazz and white rock. Now, although the reception has not officially started, they are already in despair. They used their lifelong strength to overwhelm the other party.

The black jazz trumpeter puffed his cheeks and played a long and hesitant tune. On the opposite stage, the white guitarist tore off his coat and played glam rock at the top of his lungs.

All in all, make sure your ears are filled with music no matter where you are in the rotunda.

At this time, there were more than 30 women who had flown in from Hollywood, plus more than 40 carefully selected models-like girls provided by the hotel, and more than 40 men, mainly David Schaeffer's high school and college friends.

It was still early and the party had not officially started yet. The men and women still maintained their dignity, holding champagne and looking for a chance to chat with tonight's protagonist, David Schaeffer.

Because this was almost the most exaggerated single party that everyone present had ever attended, many people wanted to figure out one thing, and that was who this harmless-looking guy wearing round glasses was.

In a spacious leisure room on the second floor, Tommy was holding a pool cue and playing snooker with Dennis and Frank.

Dennis held a piece of hemp in his mouth and skillfully put a red ball into the bottom bag. Then he stood up and said to Tommy: "It is said that there are more than thirty female stars below who have filmed movies or TV shows, and then you put a few of us Why don’t you come to abstain from sex with me? Tommy, your clubs may be broken, but ours are not.”

"This is David's bachelor party. Let him take the opportunity to expand some contacts and increase his influence in some other small groups. We can't go on to dominate the scene, Dennis." Tommy looked at the placement of the balls on the snooker table. , said in his mouth:

"Besides, didn't Stephen help you choose a few girls to come over and spend time alone with you? He is really good at doing this kind of thing now. I feel like I should change his nickname and simply call him a pimp."

Kevin and Pam were playing poker with Chris at the card table next to them without fear of death. Hearing Tommy's words, Kevin smiled and said:

"Can I write a joke about tonight? That's crazy, Tommy. I guess none of the wealthy Manhattanites who come to my comedy club for a stand-up show can be that crazy."

"If David has no objection, I have no objection." Tommy smiled at Kevin: "I'm just helping to pay tonight's bill, and I won't be involved in anything else, but I personally suggest that you'd better help the girls in Hollywood keep it They have to rely on their faces to earn a living, unlike us, we don’t need that stuff.”

Kevin laughed: "Hahahaha~ You are suitable for talking about talk shows with me."

But soon, he was like a duck being strangled by the neck, and he could no longer laugh, because Chris took away the chips in front of him and Pam with a calm expression: "Playing poker with you, it's like My father had the same feeling when he taught the three-year-old me the Pythagorean theorem. My mother said, he said to me seriously, why do I have a son like you who seems to be mentally retarded? You are already three years old. , but can’t even understand this level of mathematics? I’m going to give you this sentence now, why do I have a son like yours who seems to be mentally retarded, who can’t even understand Texas Hold’em poker in his twenties?”

"Bah bang bang bang~" Tommy, Dennis, and Frank all applauded immediately: "Well said, Chris, one hit will kill you."

Kevin looked at the three people who were gloating about their misfortune, and then looked at Chris with a fierce expression. Suddenly his facial expression relaxed: "Dad, since the relationship between father and son has eased, can you give me some chips? That's a full two hundred yuan. ."

"Of course." Chris heard this affectionate address and casually returned Kevin's chips.

When Pam saw Kevin's lost chips, she hesitated and said to Chris: "Dad, my chips..."

"I always have to beat someone. Pam, it's too late for you to change your mind. Go and redeem some chips. Remember to learn to answer questions next time." Chris rejected Pam's suggestion.

Frank took the club from Tommy's hand at this time. After Dennis missed the ball, he leaned over to hit the club and hit the ball beautifully into the bag. Then he straightened up and looked at the crowd and asked: "Give me some Advice, everyone.”

"What advice?" Several people looked at him curiously, and Dennis even asked in confusion: "Isn't your mother always in good health? And her language skills are normal. Why do you need other people to give you advice?"

"My mother wants me to go to Wall Street after graduation, but I don't want to be a broker in that damn place at all. I mean, I haven't even taken care of my own pocket money since I was a child. How could I take care of theirs for my clients?" Money?" Frank adjusted the angle and hit his second shot.

Tommy shrugged: "This kind of thing is actually very simple. Maybe the other party doesn't need you to take care of the money at all? You should ask the rich man. He has the right to speak. As far as I know, the person who takes care of his assets does not need to be taken care of at all." To care about whether the other party has experience, you only need to meet three conditions: female, under thirty-five years old, and pretty enough. According to this idea, your target customers should be over forty years old, widowed or divorced, female. As for how to increase income, There is no need to think about it at all, just use your muscles to impress her and help her spend money."

"A wrestling agency wants to sign me as a wrestling actor." Frank ignored Tommy's teasing, straightened up and said, "I want to give it a try."

"Listen to your mother, Frank, you are not suitable to be a wrestler. You will die miserably in the Octagon." Kevin was the first to give his opinion: "Because I, the state champion, failed to become a wrestler. You How dare such a defeated general come up with such an idea?"

Chris handed out playing cards and said: "According to my experience, you must first satisfy your parents' wishes, and then you are qualified to make demands on them. For example, after I was admitted to the Ivy League school that my father dreamed of, I Become a source of pride in his eyes, and then he won’t object to me using the math I learned to play poker.”

"So, I first became the president of one of the big investment banks on Wall Street, to prove my ability to my mother, and then after retiring as president, I became a wrestler? That is indeed like Kevin said, I will definitely die miserably. In the Octagon." Frank said depressedly: "Chris, your logic doesn't make sense at all."

"Earn a lot of money, buy a mansion, a luxury car, hire maids, and stop your mother from worrying about you not having enough food, clothing, and care. Maybe she will agree to you becoming a wrestler." Tommy Opinions are given on the side.

Frank looked at Tommy with deep meaning: "If you are going to ask the rich man to introduce some widowed old women to me, Tommy, I will use this club to let you re-experience the intimidation of the commander of the St. Vincent Special Forces. "

"I was wrong, Mr. Commander, let me, the Prime Minister, save a little face." Tommy said with a smile.

"Brothers, please allow me to bring you favorite recommendations based on your preferences and tastes." While several people were chatting, Stephen opened the door of the activity room and shouted to several people with great interest: "Kevin, what are you doing today?" Your companion tonight is Lisa Burnett! She is already waiting for you in your room."

"Shit! Lisa Burnett? Denise from The Cosbys? Are you sure... I mean this is so fucking exaggerated, I've always seen her on TV, but now... What happened if I had a chance to have sex with her?" Before Stephen could introduce him, Kevin's eyes widened, and then he said in shock to Pam and Chris beside him:

"I always thought Tommy and Stephen were just bragging and looking for some unknown sidekicks to add to the fun."

Stephen noticed Kevin's shock, and he said proudly: "I can see that you are surprised and satisfied. I know you are a fan of that show. I can reveal that Lisa is not in a good mood recently. She I eloped with a rock singer not long ago, but the bastard cheated her out of her money and dumped her, so you can use your sense of humor to bring her out of the gloom."

"I can't wait to meet her!" Kevin threw away the poker, stood up excitedly and walked towards Stephen, reached out and took the tenant from the other side, and walked towards his room.

"Laura Dern, she became Miss Golden Globe when she was fifteen years old. I remember that Frank liked David Lynch's "Blue Velvet" very much. You should be very impressed by her. Frank, Laura has been in the financial situation recently. Some problems have arisen. As the future financial scum of Wall Street, you can provide her with some experience." Stephen waited for Kevin to pass him and walked out of the room, took out the second key card, looked at Frank who was batting, and smiled. said.

Frank, who originally wanted to refuse this activity on the grounds that his mother would not allow it, suddenly could no longer keep his calm face: "Laura Dern? Laura Dern?"

"Yes." Stephen nodded affirmatively.

Frank threw the club towards Tommy next to him, then walked towards Stephen and grabbed the room card: "If you lie, I guarantee that even though you are wearing a suit instead of a wrestling uniform, you will be beaten into a vegetable state. ."

After Frank left, Stephen took out the third room card like magic, and at the same time looked at Dennis, who was having fun with hemp at the moment:

"Gillian Anderson, a total little devil, a musical star at the Pedro Theater in Los Angeles, best known for Dickens's "Bleak House," is trying to find a place in Hollywood, and this girl is playing a little crazy, hey Marijuana, punk, arson, trespassing, in short, she became a regular visitor to the police station in her teens. You know what we call her? Harley Quinn in Los Angeles, I want to introduce her to my craziest So, my friends, Dennis Herbs! My brothers, you can go exchange punk art!"

"You are so discerning, Stephen. Only I can conquer such a hot girl." Dennis spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth, walked over and took the key card, and then gave Stephen a hard high-five:

"If she calls herself Harley Quinn, I will be her king, Joker!"

"Miss Krystal Chappelle, whose masterpiece is "Somewhere Tomorrow", her ex-boyfriend was once a naval engineer. She likes to try some extreme games very much, and she said that she has no resistance to men who are engineers. "So, Pam, you know what to do?" Stephen held the key card between his fingers and looked at Pam.

Pam pushed up her glasses and said disdainfully: "It's hard to find a girl who is more extreme than Carly...but I still have to verify it myself."

Then he stood up, picked up the room card and left.

"Chris, your surprise, Melissa Brennan, the most beautiful and famous Jennifer Holden of Days of Our Lives, is waiting in your room right now. Looking at you, Chris, I remember you said you liked that TV series very much..." Stephen looked at the gambler Chris.

Chris picked up the cowboy hat on the table and put it on his head, walked up to Stephen, took the key card, pressed the brim of the hat with his finger, and said to Tommy, "Thank you for the hospitality, poor guy."

"So many bastards have found the actress they like, but only Chris expressed his gratitude to me, the person who paid the money." Tommy sat on the sofa with his feet up and said dissatisfied:

"Next time this kind of event is held, restrictions must be added. Everyone will stand in the hall and thank me in public for ten minutes. If the wording is not sensational enough and the time is not long enough, let them pay the bill themselves!"

Stephen came over, sat down next to Tommy, raised his head and leaned lazily on the backrest: "How about it, Tommy? I said, no one can refuse me, but what about Frank? Laura was still... Dunn was attracted and returned to the room obediently."

"You were born to be a pimp, Stephen." Tommy said with certainty:

"You should get rid of Madam and run this business yourself."

Stephen patted Tommy on the shoulder: "Now, there are only two of us left. This is the benefit of being an organizer, leaving the best to ourselves, right? So, a pair of French people who have just arrived and want to see Hollywood Twin supermodels and an American beauty who suits your aesthetic, which one do you choose?”

"Twins..." Tommy was about to utter the word twins decisively, but Stephen leaned over and covered his mouth: "No, you fucking don't want to! Take back this wrong choice! You, a rookie guest, will never be sure. Stop them!"

"Okay, okay, it's all yours. Let me go, idiot. You almost strangled your adoptive father to death for a woman! I made you so much fucking money, and you don't even want to let me do something right." Choose!" Tommy broke away from Stephen's hand and said.

Stephen let go of his hand with satisfaction, took out a room card and threw it on Tommy, lowered his voice and said mysteriously:

"That girl is in your room. It's her first time to take on this kind of business. To be honest, if she hadn't been in trouble, she wouldn't have come into this kind of business. When that girl was seventeen, she had already become a celebrity through filming. Millionaire."

"I want to hear the story of the twins more than the story of this girl." Tommy looked at Stephen dissatisfied: "I like the French, I have a good impression of France, and I asked Otilia to help many former French people. Colony, I should have many topics to talk about with them..."

Stephen decisively shattered Tommy's fantasy: "The twins have nothing to do with you, brother, accept the reality, you can only listen to the story of this American girl."

"Well, you said she became a millionaire at the age of seventeen, so she'd better be an adult now, or I'll ask Paige to come and kill you." Hearing Stephen's words, Tommy frowned, alert asked.

Stephen introduced the experience of helping Tommy arrange the actress with some regret: "Of course, she is twenty-two years old, and no one forced her. This girl is quite miserable. I also heard the story from my wife, that girl's father. She was originally an artistic director of a theater on Broadway, but later became unemployed and became a taxi driver. Her mother was a nightclub dancer. Thirteen days after she was born, her parents divorced. Her mother had custody but never fulfilled her obligations. This girl is like her Her father wandered around New York in cheap motels, and even took her with her when he drove a taxi. However, she was mostly left in the care of his Broadway friends, so she began to play small roles in plays at the age of six. Occasionally, she also made guest appearances in some New York-based productions. She was lucky enough to be discovered at the age of thirteen, and starred in a small-budget romantic comedy "Love at Sunset Bridge". She was also nominated for the Young Artist Award for Best Actress, and was featured in the film. On the cover of "Time", the result... His father was a little crazy when he saw that his teenage daughter actually had love scenes and kissing scenes in the movie, because his father was a Protestant, and he still believed in the stereotypical classical Five In his words, the fact that the Christian church did not allow his daughter to wear a Christian headscarf 24 hours a day meant that he was sufficiently enlightened. Then these bastards in the film industry actually defiled his holy daughter and took her away from him. The first kiss that should have been lost after marriage.”

"But normally, when minors are filming, their parents or guardians should accompany them 24 hours a day." Tommy heard the flaw in the story and said with some suspicion: "You must have been deceived. Every woman in the film will exaggerate her own life experience to be more miserable than Jean Valjean and Fantine in "Les Misérables" put together."

"The problem is, custody has always been in the hands of her mother. For filming, the film company contacted the girl's mother. Her mother is a nightclub dancer who can do anything for money, so of course it's no problem. It doesn't help that her father is furious as hell. , she could only start fighting for custody with her mother, trying to restrict her daughter from making movies. As a result, she ran away from home in anger with her father, and ran to Hollywood with a friend. Unexpectedly, she easily got the opportunity to make movies, and she was also the leading actress. , but after the filming, she quickly returned to New York and changed from a wild girl to a good girl. That movie seemed to be a memory she didn't want to mention." Stephen walked to the wine cabinet and picked out a bottle of whiskey. He said:

"The father also realized that his rigidity would hurt her, so the father and daughter resolved the conflict. Then the father began to supervise her in filming, and she also began to stand out, with one masterpiece after another. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Her mother was a nightclub dancer. After learning that she was making money, her mother and others took her away forcibly while her father was not paying attention. Relying on the reason that the custody rights were not yet clearly defined, they successfully filmed her from the age of thirteen to seventeen, earning her one hundred hard-earned He transferred tens of thousands of dollars to his own account, and in the name of her guardian, he forced her to accept a bunch of bad movies that were not suitable for children. If she didn't take them, she would have to pay a lot of liquidated damages. I originally liked her very much. Coppola, a great acting director, helped her find a film company that she worked with, and that film company promised to pay her liquidated damages for those bad movies, but the premise was that she would film for that company for the next ten years. She was worried that she would be drained of her acting value, so she ultimately did not agree.

"What's worse is that she also had problems with her vision in selecting scripts. She had previously helped Coppola film "The Little Godfather" and "Betta", which made her become the dream girl of American teenagers. As a result, she later became a female star. No. 1 made two movies in a row, but the box office and reputation were both low, causing two small film companies to close down. The two rejected movies made a lot of money, so that the replacement actresses became famous A well-known actress, this caused her reputation in the industry to decline rapidly. After all, the film company did not want to invite her to make movies, but in the end it only ended up being closed down."

"And in the past few years, those film producers have been filing lawsuits to recover liquidated damages. She is struggling with legal fees and liquidated damages, but she can't get a high-paying performance contract. If I hadn't issued a check with no upper limit this time, let her Madam couldn't convince her of the price she filled in. She's not one of those women I introduced to Chris, Frank, and others who have made a few TV shows and become famous. Do you understand? She is a well-known movie actress. If it weren't for a pair of French Twins, she should be mine tonight, and Michelle Pfeiffer should be with you, not with David."

"I'm more fucking concerned. You praised that girl so much and made her so miserable, so how much did you spend on me?" Tommy turned his head and stared into Stephen's eyes, asking suspiciously.

"A very reasonable price, Tommy. This girl is asking for 500,000 yuan, so including the wife's 30% commission, you only need to pay about 700,000 yuan to spend a spring night with her. She will also act as a considerate female companion. I’ll be by your side every step of the party tonight.”

"Seven hundred thousand? Seven hundred thousand dollars?" Tommy opened his eyes when he heard the price quoted by Stephen, and asked through gritted teeth:

"Stephen, seven hundred thousand, I'm the miserable one! So, if I don't touch her, don't I have to pay? Let her go, I fucking beg you, I'm a poor man, I don't have any You, a born aristocrat, have a consumption concept of spending a lot of money. Seven hundred thousand means that if I let her stay with me for ten nights, she can buy a villa in Beverly Hills with seven million. It sounds really fucking miserable! How many loans do I have to make to black people to make a profit of $700,000! F*ck!"

Stephen poured himself a glass of whiskey, held it in his hand and said lightly: "You will get a bill whether you do it or not. In order to impress the future star of the big screen and continue to cooperate with her, Madam directly advanced the fee, that is, Say, if you let her go now and do nothing, you will still have to pay Madam 700,000."

"Seven hundred thousand, just for one night's sleep... At this rate of spending money, your grandfather didn't come back from heaven to hack you to death. I can only say that atheism is correct. Otherwise, if he has a spirit in heaven, he will find a way to take care of you." You unworthy descendant will leave this world together." Tommy grabbed his hair hard, threw Stephen away, and walked towards his room:

"So what's that girl's name?"

"Diane Lane? I even mentioned the title of the film, but you didn't even react? She is the dream girl of all young people in America, and you, you are her first customer in this industry. In her life, The third man, this is definitely worth the money." Stephen said while drinking behind him:

"Wipe your tears, Tommy, and look happy. You are a rich man, so don't cry because of this little money, okay?"

He saw Tommy raise his hand and brush it across his face, thinking that the guy was crying because the price was too high.

"Even if I am her first fucking man, she is not worth 700,000." Tommy walked forward depressedly: "By the way, remember that mixed-race girl named Lisa Burnett to help me later. Leave your contact information, and if she comes to do this kind of business, it means she is short of money. There is a drama on my TV station that happens to be short of this kind of famous mixed-race black girl."

Diane Lane, of course Tommy has heard of this name. This woman is very well-known among American teenagers. Along with Jennifer Connelly, Brooke Shields, and Phoebe Cates, she is known as the four major dreams of American teenagers. He is a sweetheart and has played many roles that impressed teenagers. At least Tommy knew very well at this moment that if Dennis and Pam saw Diane Lane, they would be so excited that they could not speak.

These two are die-hard fans of Diane Lane, but their favorite Diane Lane masterpiece is not the same movie.

What Pam likes is the 1981 movie "Little Girl in the Wild West" (PS: Also known as: Little Girl in the Wild West, Little Girl and the Bandit, I watched the pirated video tape in the video hall when I was a child, and I was deeply impressed by the two female protagonists).

In that movie, 16-year-old Diane played "Little Breeches", a legendary female cowboy in American history. She and her sister "Cowboy Annie" carried shotguns and integrated the leaderless rabble of the Doolin-Dalton Gang, and finally The story of a prison break to rescue idol and gang leader Bill Doolin.

Especially at the end of the story, when the prison robbery was successful and after watching Du Lin escape with his gang members, the two little girls faced the police who were surrounding them with guns in their hands. They smiled at each other, dropped the guns, and told the police that they were underage. According to the law, they cannot be sent to prison. Instead, the police need to escort the two people back to their hometown in eastern Massachusetts to serve their sentences in a reformatory. Many American teenagers feel that these two people can escape unharmed even if they kill through the prison. In the end, they have to let the police The sisters of the same age who obediently escorted the two of them home are so cool.

Pam likes Carly, probably because his girlfriend Carly has the wildness and strength of "little breeches".

Dennis became a die-hard fan of this girl because of the TV movie "Punk Girl". Dennis later went to buy the video of this movie. Diane Lane was the absolute star of that movie, a female punk The band's 17-year-old lead singer successfully conquered Dennis, a punk lover, with his exaggerated, extreme punk style and songwriting that "never backs down, never goes out".

This asshole fucked a Diane Lane poster several times in the presence of Tommy and Pam.

Thanks to Dennis and Pam, Tommy has watched the videos of these two movies. He must admit that although Diane Lane is definitely not worth 700,000 in his mind, she is indeed a beauty.

Before walking to his room, Tommy first took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff to calm down, then took out the room card and opened the door to the room.

In the living room, a woman was facing the door, making a call on the landline in the room. When she heard the door ring, she turned around suddenly, revealing a pretty and nervous face.

"There is no doubt that I am the guy who once paid 700,000 yuan for a spring night." Tommy stood at the door and did not rush in. Instead, he opened his hands to the woman and teased:

"Also, I have to pay for the phone bill in this room at the end. You'd better make an internal call. If it's an external long-distance call, please pay for it yourself."

Twenty-two-year-old Diane Lane said into the phone receiver: "I'll call you again."

Then he hung up the phone and looked at Tommy Hawke suspiciously: "I asked my wife to help me arrange a mature guest, the kind of old man in his fifties or sixties who can make him powerless after just a few flirtations. , you obviously do not meet the requirement of maturity, you look only a few years older than me, so you are in the name of your father..."

"My dad doesn't like this kind of thing, and the oldest person here tonight is my bodyguard Mr. Page. He just asked me to spend 700,000 to find a woman to accompany him for one night. This employee benefit is really a bit too much for me. Overwhelmed, and I guess his physical strength is better than most of the young people tonight. He can bench press 180 pounds, which other young people can't do." Tommy leaned on the door frame and looked at Dai. An, said with some embarrassment:

"I am indeed the relatively mature one among this group of people. For example, I am trying to talk to you in a mature manner right now. I may be a little embarrassed, but I still want to say that I don't need to go to bed with you tonight. You just need to be the person I am today. The late female escort will accompany me to the show, giving those stupid people a little shock and a little surprise at the party. You don’t need to go back to the room after the party. You can fly directly back to Hollywood. It’s just a condition that I won’t touch you. Can you return? Give me 650,000 yuan, just for a normal social reception of up to two hours. The price of 700,000 yuan is too exaggerated. I heard that a Hollywood actress attended a TV talk show as a guest, and the appearance fee was only 500 yuan. I paid Fifty thousand yuan is a hundred times the TV appearance fee."

After Diane heard that Tommy had met, she was ready to cancel the deal without saying a word. She couldn't help but glance at the phone and then at Tommy: "We also have different definitions of maturity. The mature traits I hope are Generous, and the mature trait you are showing now is stinginess."

"Among Madam's clients, apart from the high-rollers in the Middle East, there is only a fool named Stephen who has this trait. I don't deserve this trait. I am a poor man." Tommy said seriously:

"Please, you don't want to sleep with a stranger. It will make you regret for the rest of your life. Selling your body is not a noble thing. If it is not necessary, don't let it..."

Diane interrupted Tommy, who was chattering and trying to deny his debt: "I betrayed him once."

"..." Tommy seemed to be strangled by the neck. He was silent for a while before he came back to his senses. He pointed to the door and said, "My friend Stephen said that I should be your third man. It sounds like he The source is not very accurate, he just mentioned it to me and he thought it was something worth bragging about."

"He's right, you are the third one. The first one is a Hollywood director and producer who got the female lead in his movie. The second one is my boyfriend who is far away in France, but Because of the issue of liquidated damages and attorney fees, he has not contacted me for a while. According to my requirements for my wife to arrange clients, the third man in my life should be a mature man, such as your father, uncle, etc., but It shouldn’t be you, I hate young men.”

"Honestly, my father has better physical strength than me, and with his muscles, I think it's totally fine to fight with you on the bed all night long, but I... my beautiful girlfriend emptied me, and it was only two dollars a night. Three times." Tommy couldn't help laughing when he heard the woman's words, and then raised the cigarette case towards the woman:

"Would you like one? You can smoke a cigarette and think carefully about whether to choose me or my dad. If you insist, I can ask the hotel to rent a small plane and fly to Rhode Island to pick him up. , it’s five o’clock in the afternoon, I think he should be able to arrive at nine o’clock in the evening.”

Diane Lane came over depressed, took the cigarette from Tommy's hand, and then returned it: "Let me declare in advance, I don't do drugs, liquor, or do tricks. I will do it at six o'clock tomorrow. leave."

"I can't imagine that this idiot Stephen just arranged for me to spend the night holding a piece of wood tonight, and I have to pay 700,000 yuan for this night, so you can't consider my proposal, 50,000 yuan, go downstairs Go around the hall and then leave?" Tommy put away his cigarette case, blew out the smoke dejectedly, and asked unwillingly.

Diane lit the cigarette and said with the same irritated expression: "Seven hundred thousand, I will let you have one now, and then I will accompany you to go around the hall downstairs, and finally leave, what do you think?"

"We can't use vulgar money and body to measure the world. I think our conversation has been biased from the beginning." Tommy sighed and looked at the blond girl: "Let me change the beginning, that's it, Stephen said You are in some trouble and need money urgently, how much money do you need?"

"I'm not going to be your mistress." Diane blew out a smoke ring and said to Tommy.

"Stop fantasizing, girl, your breasts are only one size bigger than my assistant Sophia's. She has no chance. I don't think you have any hope. Do you know why men must find a beautiful enough girlfriend? Because it can improve My resistance to the opposite sex, after sleeping with my girlfriend, my immunity to other members of the opposite sex has been greatly improved." After Tommy heard that the other party actually thought that he wanted to keep her for a long time, he said with a disgusted expression:

"I'm just saying, I can pay you 700,000, and I won't go to bed with you. I can even give you some help later to solve your troubles. I have a friend named Mark who runs a small The actor's agency in Los Angeles doesn't have many well-known artists, but the good thing is that he will try his best to use the resources he has on the few artists he has. Currently, the most famous artist in his company is a black girl, a former Miss America. Nessa Williams, she was banned due to the Penthouse scandal, so she is not well-known in the film and television industry. She is equivalent to a newcomer. However, Mark has just helped this newcomer to win the starring role in a TV series. She is the second female lead and is paid two yuan per episode. Ten thousand yuan, I mean, why not, you sign into his company, and I will ask him to arrange the best lawyer to handle your lawsuit, and you don’t need to pay the fee, so you don’t need to accompany me, an immature man, either. Stop worrying about legal fees and get an agency that will absolutely work around you.”

"After I betrayed myself for the first time, I realized that there are no kind people in this world." Diane lowered her head and couldn't see her expression clearly. After keeping her head lowered for dozens of seconds, she took a drag on the cigarette, raised her head and faced Tommy said:

"The business between us is only for tonight."

Tommy spit out the cigarette in his mouth depressedly, closed the door with his backhand, untied his shirt and tie, and muttered: "White people are more difficult to be fooled than black people. What is the problem?"

Seeing Diane still standing there, he frowned dissatisfied: "Ma'am, there are only twelve hours and forty-three thousand two hundred seconds until six o'clock tomorrow morning. Do you know what that means? It means every second I I’ll pay you sixteen dollars, and the average hourly wage in the United States is only four dollars. You can earn four hours’ worth of ordinary people’s salary in one second, so hurry up!”

Seeing Tommy's appearance, Diane reached out to stub out the cigarette butts and walked towards the bathroom: "I'm going to take a shower, do you want to go?"

"I can't wait to be with you in the next twelve hours, what do you think?" Tommy followed him towards the bathroom:

"Also, do you mind if I take some medicine to help men maintain their dignity? Otherwise, it's really only two or three times. Isn't it too much of a loss..."

Diane rolled her eyes at Tommy: "Are all rich people jerks like you?"

The doorbell rang. Tommy, who had just taken off his pants and was about to follow Diane into the bathroom, cursed F*ck and asked loudly: "Who the hell is outside the door!"

"Boss, it's me, Lott." Outside the door, Page's voice rang: "Miss Ottilia Farrell will call again in two minutes. She has something to ask you. She asked me to make sure to put the mobile phone on Into your hands.”

Tommy walked to the door and opened the door: "Asking me if I am fooling around at the bachelor party? Otilia would not be so ignorant."

Paige handed the mobile phone to Tommy, as if she was used to Tommy's behavior without wearing pants: "Miss Farrell said that she and some members of the charity were being interviewed by some TV stations in Australia and might need to make a call. Here you go, it’s eight o’clock in the morning over there.”

Tommy answered the phone and felt a little weird when he heard Paige's words: "Do you need to ask me interview questions? What are the writing assistants I hired for her doing with their salaries? Forget it, it doesn't matter. Thank you, Paige. Mr. Qi."

Holding the mobile phone, Tommy walked back to the bathroom. Diane was lying in the bathtub filled with bubbles, with only her hands and feet exposed. She was gently applying shower gel on her shoulders when she saw Tommy walking in with his mobile phone. His eyes were curious.

"With your method of bathing, this is almost the most expensive bath on earth. Since I am responsible for the cost, could you please provide some extra services during the bath? At least it will save me the heartache when I pay the bill." Tang Mi walked up to Diane, stood up straight and said, "Time is precious."

Diane hesitated and slowly leaned her head toward Tommy.

Otilia's call was on time. Tommy was just closing his eyes and enjoying it when the phone rang. He grabbed the mobile phone and made a shushing gesture to Diane. At the same time, he signaled the other party not to stop, and then answered the call. Make phone call:

"Hi honey, how's the scenery in Australia?"

"Tommy, what time is it in the United States now? I hope I don't disturb you, but...but..." Otilia on the other end of the phone explained with some embarrassment: "Everyone and I are guests on the Sydney TV station at this time. , accepted a live TV interview, and we talked about topics such as female independence and family support. I said it was your encouragement that made me bravely take the first step."

"It's mainly because of your bravery and kindness that we are what we are today. Baby, my role is insignificant." Tommy held the phone in one hand and held Diane's head with the other, saying in a calm voice.

"The host said, can you say something on the phone to encourage women in Sydney, Australia, to encourage them to bravely step out of the room and step into society. Diane just asked her husband to finish speaking, and now it's your turn."

"Diane?" Tommy was startled, looked down at the woman in the bathtub, and asked guiltily: "What Diane?"

"Ms. Hillary Diane Clinton, Tommy, I told you." Otilia reminded her softly.

"Okay, I'm sorry, I've got too many things going on lately, no problem, just give me a few seconds, I'll think about what to say." Tommy breathed a sigh of relief, and then he realized what his girlfriend said about Diane and himself. The Diane in front of her was not the same person.

He raised his head slightly and looked at the decorative painting on the bathroom wall. The painting showed a woman drinking coffee while waiting for the bus at the bus stop. He tried to draw ideas from the painting.

Ten seconds later, he said calmly: "I just want to say, now, it's your turn. Yes, all the women who are listening at this moment, this sentence is for you: now, it's your turn."

"Year after year, day after day, you stand in front of the window of your home and look at the people outside the window, one by one becoming famous and having a successful career."

"what about you?"

"You can only stand in front of the kitchen window, washing dishes, watching the children walk out of the house in the morning light, boarding the school bus, and leaving home, watching your husband drink coffee, walk out of the house in a neat suit, and start a new life. All in a day’s work.”

"You finished cleaning up the messy breakfast table and started to clean the room. When you straightened up and finished all this, you realized that you didn't have time to rest. You could only make a simple bowl of milk and cereal for lunch to deal with your stomach. You were about to go to the campus to attend a party. A family activity.”

"Finally finished dealing with the hateful school, and you are about to rush to the supermarket, because your beloved husband told you before going out that he was getting paid today, so he wanted to eat richly. You go to the supermarket and buy carefully After finishing the ingredients, go home and prepare dinner for the family."

"While you were preparing dinner, the children came home from school. They turned into lawless little devils and made a mess in the room while you were free. You were irritable but still comforting yourself. This is happiness. trouble."

"Finally, your husband enjoyed a sumptuous dinner and the children finally went to bed. You tidied up everything and walked into the bathroom, wanting to take a bubble bath for yourself... No, you don't know how to take a bubble bath. You just Wanting to take a quick shower, you went to bed and fell asleep. When you were drying your hair in front of the mirror, you saw yourself in the mirror and said softly to the woman with dark wrinkles in your eyes and a tired face:

"If I have the chance to do it again, I won't use the word "happiness, troubles" to deceive myself for the rest of my life. But, there will be no chance again, never again."

"I think this is the life of most housewives, and life shouldn't just be like this."

"Margaret Michelle, writer, was 37 years old when she wrote the masterpiece "Gone with the Wind" and became a world-famous female writer."

"Shirley Temple Black, actress, politician, 47 years old when she was appointed U.S. Ambassador to Ghana."

"Margaret Smith, politician, was 51 years old when she first became a U.S. Senator."

"Ruth Gordon, actress, was 72 years old when she won her first American Oscar."

"Golda Meir, politician, was 71 years old when he was elected Prime Minister of Israel."

"Anna Robertson, painter, was 76 years old when she created her first work."

"Of course, some of you will definitely find excuses, saying that these people are not ordinary. Each of them has a great background. They may have good families, or there may be other reasons. In short, they are completely different from you who are struggling for daily necessities."

"Okay, let me talk about being an ordinary person. My girlfriend Otilia, an ordinary girl. She used to sit in an office in a remote town in the United States every day, doing all kinds of trivial and repetitive tasks every day. And for a job that has no sublimation to life, she looks out the window like you every day, and she sees the people outside the window becoming famous and having a successful career."

"Until one day, she decided to break this window and walk out. I will always remember that day when she said to me: I can no longer waste my time, I want to find my own value in this world."

"So, you see her value and she is trying to make the world a better place."

"I think..." Before Tommy could finish his words, he heard thunderous applause from the other side of the phone. Not only the other side of the phone, but Diane in the bathtub also stopped moving, raised her face and stared at him in shock. .

Tommy pushed her head back, took two deep breaths, waited for the applause over there to subside, and continued:

"I want to say to you, it's never too late to change. Do you remember what I said at the beginning? Now, it's your turn."

"Believe in the family members you love deeply. Don't regard them as a burden. Family members will tolerate and understand each other. You must believe that they also love you deeply as you deeply love them. So, when it is your turn, sit down and talk to Talk to them seriously, and when it’s your turn, tell them that you have a dream to realize your self-worth. When it’s your turn, receive their encouragement and support. When it’s your turn, start by changing yourself and go change the world.”

"Thank you everyone, I'm honored to receive this invitation. Goodbye, ah~~ah~ I'm sorry, the hot coffee burned me. It can be seen that my girlfriend is not around, but it is still a bit troublesome for me, but Otilia, don't worry , I can handle this little thing, goodbye, love you." Tommy suddenly took two breaths, and then finished speaking quickly. He didn't even wait for the applause from the opposite party to end, and hung up the phone, panting heavily. Angry, he lowered his head and looked at Diane Lane:

"If you could slow down just now, I could speak more emotionally, instead of ending in such a hurry."

"If I were on the TV station, I would be moved by your words. It's really touching." Diane raised her head and looked up at Tommy Hawke for the first time to truly observe the other person:

"How do you make fooling around with your girlfriend so refreshing and refined? Encourage your wife to go out of the family to realize her self-worth, and then fool around with other women?"

"Shut up, madam, this is not fooling around. You have to remember clearly that I am just trying to recover some losses now, understand? You forced me to choose to fool around. I came up with a better solution, but you chose to destroy me and me. This kind of girlfriend relationship! You are a *person!" Tommy pressed her back:

"So, hurry up, sixteen-dollar-a-second high-paid lady, I have to try to cut my losses."

Whether the actresses in this article are related to their wives or not is all hearsay. I chose them mainly because they are pleasing to the eye, and they all admitted that they encountered unspoken rules when they first started in the industry, but they later changed their words and called the unspoken rules sexual. Dear~ My understanding is, if it was for marriage, why didn't you directly report the crime in the first place? Instead, you cooperated with those people many times in the industry, and then you jumped out and said these things after decades of success and fame?

There may be white lotuses in Hollywood, but not many~ Of course, the stories I write are all hearsay, please don’t take them seriously~

Finally, the lack of updates this month is mainly because of my son. As of today, my son is still having a high fever and receiving infusions. To be honest, my wife and I both want to die. We wish we could lie in the hospital bed and take his place... Inadequate updates. But I tried my best, and today I gritted my teeth and typed out 12,000 words. I can barely make up for it to all of you readers. Please forgive me and go to bed.
