Different from his bad temper, the 24-year-old Kevin Peston has a gentle and gentle face, and there is a dimple around his mouth when he smiles, as if he is a little green. Standing with Vogt, he is usually considered a younger brother.People who first came into contact with Kevin were easily deceived by his appearance, and they didn't vaguely realize his cannibalism until he handed over expensive commissions.

"Vogg, long time no see!" Kevin Peston showed an exaggerated expression of surprise when he saw Vogt, stood up and walked towards him, hugging him with open arms.

Vogt smiled handsomely and gave him a big hug.Each side exerts its strength as if the other is an enemy rather than a kin.

Vogt said sweetly: "Kevin, your surprise is too fake. After all these years, your acting skills still haven't improved."

"Voge, you're still so good at joking!" Kevin said negatively, "How about you finally spent all the money, come and ask me to borrow it? I think it's better for you to surrender directly to your father and let us all Can see a joke!"

"Kevin, is this how you treat future big clients?"

Kevin visibly struggled for a while, and murmured, "I'm not sure I'd choose to hate you or lose a business, would I?" When the fight got big, there was a lot of troubles formed, and because Vogt was younger than him, his family members tended to help him, Kevin felt a lot of anger.It's rare that Vogt "begged" to come to the door, so what if he didn't make things difficult for him?Even if he agreed with the rest of the Pestons and Pfisters that Vogt's best talent was acting, that was the direction in which Vogt would best develop and with the right guidance he could expect success.

Vogt sarcastically said, “Kevin, it looks like your work ethic has degraded to zero since you left PwC.”

"Work ethic? Do I know that thing?" Kevin said glibly.

Vogt rolled his eyes and was about to say more when there was a knock on the door.

Kevin snorted, "Come in."

Lily Ramirez came in with a tray in her hand. Seeing that Kevin and Vogt seemed to be having a happy conversation, her expression relaxed a little: "Professor, Mr. Pfister's warm water, your cappuccino."

cappuccino...

Kevin immediately received Vogt's disdainful gaze, as if to say "still drinking children's drinks".Kevin immediately said angrily to Lily, "Did I ask you to give me a cappuccino?"

Lily pouted aggrievedly: "But, you always want cappuccino..."

"Brain of a giant!" Kevin muttered.

"Comeon, Kevin, based on what I know about you, you don't need to hide." Vogt said, smiling at Lily, "It's okay, thank you for the warm water, you can go out first."

Lily blushed, nodded to him, put down the warm water and coffee on the tray, and left with a more swaying pace than usual, even forgetting to ask the opinion of her boss, Kevin.

Kevin watched coldly: "I warn you, Vogt, she is my assistant, stop your seductive tricks!"

"Don't always put your obsession with "Harry Potter" on real people." Vogt drank his warm water.Not seen for more than a year, his cousin is still a hopeless "Harry Potter" fan.

"Correction, it's the professor." Kevin is not ashamed but proud, "I'm a professor fan, not a Harry Potter fan! It's against me to associate my name with that idiot Harry Potter insult."

Vogt was even more speechless.Well, Kevin Peston's favorite Harry Potter character is Severus Snape, the potions professor.This kind of love had reached a feverish level, and he couldn't help but surround himself with Severus Snape.Of course, because of the seriousness of his work, he made this tendency more subtle, but as someone who is familiar with him, it is clear at a glance when he sees his work environment.

Birch accounting firm, birch→Severus Snape's wand material

Assistant Lily, Lily → the girl Severus Snape loved and never got

I also like others to call him "Professor", imitating Severus Snape's poisonous tongue...

The Peston family had long ago worried that Kevin would one day wear a wizard robe and completely transform himself into a character in a story, but fortunately, this fear never materialized.But just to be on the safe side, they consulted a psychiatrist and subtly indulged some of Kevin's hobbies, such as his liking for the top floor and the number "21", as well as his sweet cappuccino coffee ...

That's why Vogt was able to find him without alerting the adults.Before he left home, he only received news that Kevin had left PwC to work alone. As for the exact location of Kevin, he did not know.However, considering Kevin's personality and hobbies, an accounting firm named Birch in the 21st-story building in Lower Manhattan has an employee named Lily.

— doesn't seem too hard to find either.

He is used to referring to people he hates as Sirius, and he likes cappuccinos - it is definitely Kevin Peston and not someone who looks similar to Kevin Peston!

Anyway, geniuses always have such peculiar personalities.Kevin has shown a unique talent in numbers since he was a child, otherwise he would not have been recruited into PricewaterhouseCoopers as soon as he was full, and he became a senior accountant in only two years. His interpretation of numbers is always Sharp and precise.

Thinking of this level, Vogt expressed his understanding of Kevin's "abnormality".Of course, what Vogt didn't know was that in the hearts of the Peston family and the Pfister family, Vogt and Kevin were equally "abnormal" and what's more, Vogt's unstable spirit The state has led to a long period of rebellion, and the "illness" is even more serious than Kevin.

"Kevin, you know, I'm an actor now." Vogt said softly, with a deep magnetic voice full of delusion, "I have a very good relationship with a British agent, if you need Alan Rickman Autographed photo..." He paused meaningfully.

"It's not Alan Rickman, it's the professor!" Kevin retorted immediately.Alan Rickman is a British actor who played Severus Snape in the movie version of "Harry Potter". Kevin highly recognized his performance and completely compared him with Severus .Snape equaled it.

"Whatever..." Vogt spread his hands, "You know what I mean."

Kevin's heart skipped a beat almost immediately.As a professor fan, his blood is burning.You must know that Alan Rickman is a very talented actor and has a high status in the British film industry.But he kept a low profile, and was very upset because the attention he received after playing the role of Severus Snape was so high, it would definitely be very difficult to get his autographed photo as a fan of the professor.

However, he knew Vogt was digging a trap for him to jump into.Kevin swallowed, and pretended to say, "I remember you said before you came in that you came to talk to me about business. Why don't we talk about your current situation, or, to be more direct, the role you play?"

Vogt nodded his wrist: "I have to say, Kevin, my time is limited, and my driver is still waiting for me downstairs."

"Okay..." Kevin knocked on the table, "You have to tell me, how much money do you have?"

Vogt coughed and waggled five fingers.

"Five million? U.S. dollars? It's not a big business!" Speaking of work, Kevin's attitude became serious, his brows frowned, and then he let go, "But it can be done, I won't let you suffer .”

"No..." Vogt coughed again, "It's not five million."

Kevin: "That's 5000 million? Vogue, that number works better. My birch will give you VIP treatment."

"It must be a VIP." Vogt nodded. "Based on our friendship, although I only have five thousand dollars, I need VIP treatment."

"Wait!" Kevin turned his head, "How much do you say again? I didn't hear clearly! Five... what?"

"Five thousand dollars." Vogt was very calm. "I only have five thousand dollars at the moment. I need an accountant."

silence.There was a long, stormy silence.

Kevin's tone was extremely gentle: "...Vogt Pfister, you really don't think I can call security, do you?"

Vogt: "Actually, you did, but Lily didn't listen to you."

"I'll fire her."

"Kevin, don't think that your 'Lily' will last forever if you can stand it." Vogt said, "Looking ahead, I am confident that I can turn this five thousand dollars into five hundred million. This is a big business." !"

Kevin pondered, unable to tell if Vogt's proud and confident tone was a bluff or he already had a detailed plan.Vogt's acting skills are hard to tell from fake ones if you put your heart into acting.

"What are you going to do, Vogel?"

Vogt simply stood up: "Think about it slowly, my schedule is very full today."

Kevin remained calm: "Voger, with our friendship, can't I get some hints?"

Vogt thought for a while and said, "Right now, I'm playing the Phantom at the King's Theatre. The manager of WMA, Lance Clark, has initially reached an agreement with me to sign a contract. He is the grandson of Michael Clark."

Kevin's mouth opened.Thanks to his experience at PricewaterhouseCoopers, he has dealt with a wide variety of clients, including Broadway and Hollywood figures.He is not a person who is keen on entertainment, but it is impossible for him not to know about classic musicals like "The Phantom of the Opera".Even if he is not familiar with the WMA legend Michael Clarke, just signing with the oldest and always strong agency in the United States is enough to make Vogt's words convincing.

"Don't rush away, Vogel." Kevin smiled, revealing the dimples on his lips, "I must get the professor's autographed photo..."

It has been two hours since I left Birch Accounting Firm.To avoid a stomachache, Vogt declined to have lunch with Kevin.Just about to go for food, a call came to Vogt's cell phone.

It was Lance Clark.

Lance's voice was rarely rushed: "Voger, the situation has changed, you must come and meet me immediately."

Vogt asked, "What happened?"

"Your role has been suspended." Lance said succinctly, "The King's Theater does not want you to play the Phantom again. I need you to sign a contract with me immediately and authorize me to handle this matter!"
