Manhattan Reborn 1978

On the Blue Crystal side, Giles and others were silent, thinking about their own concerns.

Old Morgan picked up the phone and chatted with Bloomer's father and Old Wharton.

Old Wharton also met two waves of guests at home today and has just had some free time.

He listened to Old Morgan's account of Bloomer's recent situation, and was secretly amazed.

David Coleman.

How long had this young man known Giles and Bloomer?

Judging from Old Morgan's attitude, he is very optimistic about this boy. You haven't even met him yet, so you treat him like a nephew?

Ok.

At this time, Old Morgan talked about the investments and companies that David had created.

The da group of companies includes affordable stores, nightclubs, construction and decoration, transportation, beverages, services, trade, security, clothing, advertising, film and television, and public entertainment companies.

There are also venture capital, angel investments and insurance companies that are new tonight.

Several of these ideas aroused the elder Wharton's interest.

I asked Lao Mo again in detail.

Old Morgan did not answer, but smiled and teased him: "Blummer was involved in all of these, you should ask him more, right?"

Old Wharton also laughed: "Okay, old man, are they at Giles' place in the Blue Crystal Hotel? I'll call them right away."

"Yes, I think Bloomer must have a lot to say to you."

"Well, thank you! Old man."

"Haha, okay, I'm very late here."

"OK, I'm going to San Francisco next month, will you come too?"

"I will let Panaris and Elder go, but I won't go. I will go to Houston to recuperate in a few days. I will spend Christmas there this year."

Old Wharton knew that old Morgan fell seriously ill after his partner died of illness.

"Then I'll go see you before Thanksgiving."

"Okay, bring that bottle of white wine you treasured!"

"Haha, ok! See you then!"

The two hung up.

Old Wharton called Sapphire.

It was Pine who answered the phone.

The two chatted for a while, and Pine gave the phone to Bloomer.

Blumer calmly took the call: "Dad, it's Blumer."

Pine and Giles looked at each other and both stood up and left, giving him a private space.

after a while.

Bloomer, who was standing by the window, hung up the phone.

He thought about the last time he had such a chat with his father.

Ok.

It should have been the time when he first arrived at Harvard. They had a very happy chat on the phone.

Nearly four years later, he also graduated.

time and space.The strange feeling brought to their father and son has faded a little now.

He looked at the night sky of Manhattan in the distance.

There seems to be less shining neon lights.

There are also fewer people wandering on the streets.

But it is still prosperous and fascinating.

----

Giles and Pine left the top floor and went to the lower level.

They both poured themselves a glass of wine and sat down relaxedly.

Giles asked Pine curiously: "What you said to David at the bar tonight, were you trying to push Cohen to David's side?"

"Well, I recruited Cohen, but he didn't tell me his plan today and chose to tell David everything."

“So, you’re going to make Cohen and David happy?”

"Why not? Da Security Company, for us, if it weren't for David's novel ideas, it would never have appeared in this world."

Giles nodded, only David's brain circuit could think of letting gangsters serve as auxiliary police.

"Pine, do you think the Bonini Agreement was really the result of the will of all parties, as David said? David put everything on the table for negotiation, and it ended up being negotiated. This is really interesting."

"Hahaha, that guy David always surprises us. At the party tonight, Hardman and I talked about his thoughts on the agreement."

Giles fiddled with the wine glass and asked, "So what did you, Lynch and Hardman say tonight?"

Pine smiled, took a sip of wine, and crossed his legs.

"Long before I decided to come to New York with you, I had a comprehensive understanding of these people's information."

"Lynch is very hungry for power."

"But he wanted to take another step forward, but no one could help him."

"After he learned that we were coming to New York, he took the initiative to contact me."

Giles suddenly understood: "That's why there was that party where I met David for the first time."

"Binggo! Lynch came to the party tonight because the current governor suddenly fell seriously ill and was admitted to the hospital last week. He is still under intensive care. According to the doctor, the effect of the treatment is not optimistic."

"This opens up an opportunity for Mayor Lynch to want to run for governor?"

"Of course, among the candidates in the state now, Lynch is the most competitive. We only need to give him a little push to get his vote. This is a very good business, isn't it?"

"Well, what about Hardman? He also came with a purpose tonight, right?"

"Haha, he wants to run for mayor of New York after Lynch leaves."

"Wow, Hardman and Lynch, did they discuss this?"

"More or less, they became temporary partners because of the establishment of the security company. Also because of our investment in the security company, the interests of the two became entangled. The power in their hands facilitated David's plan. What they did We are the only ones willing to give them the help they need.”

"Tonight, Lynch and Hardman both offered their surrender, and I chose to accept it."

Giles nodded silently.

The university is like an ivory tower, a small society with all kinds of people.

In this circle, it has its own rules, and everyone silently abides by them.

He had grown up under the care and protection of his family and Pine.

Wait until Giles walks out of campus.

Light and darkness are not distinct.

This world, with no clear boundaries between right and wrong, was slowly unfolding in front of him, half-hidden.

He suddenly remembered David's nickname.

"Pine, do you think David is really the lucky guy?"

Having said this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"I don't know about this, Giles. However, we should be lucky to meet him."

“Well, I hope his good luck will always be with us!

Pine, we are friends with David, good friends, right? "

Pine was stunned, looked at him and nodded: "Yes, Giles."

"Ok, I'm tired, let's go to bed first."

Giles stood up, humming an unknown tune as he walked, and left.

Pine looked at his back, shook his head, changed to a more comfortable position, and relaxed.

He watched the wine sloshing in the glass, reflecting spots of light.

Giles!

----

In a nightclub.

After David left.

Time passed quietly past midnight.

Several groups of people attending the party said goodbye and left one after another.

After seeing off George, Andy, Rhett and Sally.

Ludy, who was free, walked out of the nightclub.

On the street in front of the gate, except for the soldiers, there were no other pedestrians.

Mike Bai was standing next to the military jeep chatting with Cohen, Jackal, and Auston.

Several people saw Ludy coming out.

Mike Bai smiled and greeted: "Ludy, why don't you play with those beauties inside for a little longer?"

Ludy walked over to a few people, loosened his tie, and shook his head.

"Mike Bai, you missed David's wonderful performance tonight, haha~"

"Yes, I heard about it. It doesn't matter, there will be many opportunities in the future!"

Ludy took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to the three of them, and lit it for them all.

"I'll have someone bring you some midnight snacks later. What do you want to eat?"

Mike Bai shrugged: "If you pay the bill, I can eat whatever I want."

Cohen smiled and nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a piercing siren rang on the street corner in the distance.

On the military jeep behind Jackal, the police channel’s call came from the radio.

After a burst of chaotic sounds from the front, a relatively clear male voice came out.

"Two groups are having a shootout in the street!

oh!Shit, slow down, drive slowly, their bullets are about to hit us!You bastard!

We were chasing them, and their four cars had just passed 97th Street, heading towards the Bronx.

Request support!Request support! "

Several people next to the military jeep looked at each other.

Auston raised his eyebrows and looked at Cohen: "Man, it seems I need your help."

The jackal was chewing a cigarette filter next to him: "Are you sure?"

Auston simply threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out.

"I'm sure man!"

Cohen laughed and glanced at the jackal, opened the car door, picked up the radio, and started calling.
