The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 124 Prove Your Loyalty

Fountain Street, West Coast Studio.

Edward took out a few checks and handed them to Hawke, saying, "Boss, the income from this period."

Hawke looked through one by one and it was basically denominations of $200 and $300, but there was one, which was close to five digits.

"Have you taken the big news?" Hawke asked.

Edward laughed: "This time I was lucky and I took a photo of a scoop."

He said in detail: "A few nights ago, Matthew McConaughey had a carnival party and found a group of friends and women to mess around. He took too many drugs in the middle, and more than 20 people took off all their clothes and ran to the yard to sing rock. The neighbors on both sides of his call the police, and Officer Julian called me immediately.

Hawke asked, "You have developed Officer Julian into a news informant?"

Edward detailed: "The day you left Los Angeles, I met Officer Julian in West Hollywood. He had many children in his family and his wife was unemployed."

Hawke understood and reminded him: "Don't attack his wife."

"Hey, boss, you can't wrongly accuse a good person." Edward defended: "Officer Julian is not divorced again."

Hawke was too lazy to raise his eyelids: "Talk the serious business."

Edward returned to the topic: "I rushed over quickly enough to even explode LAPD, and filmed Matthew McConaughey and a few men and women dancing barely, two of which were stars in the rock circle. I took it The exclusive video was sold to Claire, just Meghan's former assistant, who is now the associate producer and host of Midnight Entertainment."

Hawke nodded: "$8,000, not much." He handed the check to Edward: "Tomorrow you transfer the money to the studio account."

"Okay." Edward put it away.

Hawke turned and asked, "How is it going on over Campos?"

Edward said seriously: "Campos is very capable. He used his Mexican identity to develop many informants among Mexican immigrants. You also know the situation in Los Angeles. There are too many immigrants in Mexico, so there are no counts of homeless people on the streets. , When it comes to the ability of organization personnel, I can't even compare with his hand."

"Not bad," Hawke said, "I'll find time to see him tomorrow."

Edward looked at the time: “Boss, I also received a tip from Joanna that Alison Fies is going to go to the Griffith Observatory tonight and if there is nothing else, I will make preparations now. ”

The mother and daughter in the selfie door left a deep impression on Hawke, both of them were trash.

Just in case, Hawke reminded: "Precaution your brother and don't get sick."

Edward vowed: "Boss, don't worry, there are so many good candidates, why should I choose an older public transportation? I'm not Charlie Sheen, moving the public toilet to my home."

Hawke waved his hand and said, "Go."

The phone ringing rang, and Erica called: "I'll take a day off tomorrow. I'm going to see my grandfather and grandmother, so I won't go to find you. I'll go back to work in the bureau the day after tomorrow. We'll practice guns and cooperate on the weekend."

Hawke responded: "Yes."

Erica was not the kind of sticky person, and she hung up the phone very quickly.

After going out for supper, Hawke prepared to go to bed early.

In Yellowstone Park, I have to work hard every night.

Fortunately, he practiced and was a veritable **** of war.

The next morning, Hawke called Campos.

The latter was staring at Sherman Oaks and agreed to meet at noon.

Hawke simply came to a coffee shop near the full speed PR company and sent a text message to Caroline.

Not long after, Caroline entered the coffee shop alone, carrying a briefcase.

As soon as she saw Hawke, she accelerated her pace, and her red high heels fell to the ground, pulled open the chair and sat opposite him.

Hawke glanced at her brand new lady briefcase and guessed the price, and asked, "Where do I want the information you collected?"

Caroline opened the bag, took out a stack of documents and photos, and said, “This is the information of Sarah’s biological father, Stephen Parker, a Jew who worked in the media industry for many years and later joined a finance company as a partner. The company became an executive.”

She took out another photo: "This is Sarah's stepfather Paul Furster."

Hawke nodded slightly, opened the information and started to look carefully.

Sarah Parker's stepfather's conditions are much worse than his biological father. After his parents divorced, her mother Barbara married Paul Furster, who had three boys with Barbara.

With the four children his stepfather has, Sarah has seven brothers.

According to the information collected by Caroline, the family can be maintained thanks to Stephen Parker’s support.

But Sarah's father-daughter relationship with Stephen is not good.

Very common family drama.

Stephen and Barbara did not divorce peacefully, but became enemies. Under Barbara's long-term influence, Sarah believes that Stephen did not fulfill his father's responsibilities.

"When Sarah first entered the industry, Stephen mobilized various connections, making her journey much smoother than ordinary people." Caroline said: "But Sarah always felt that Stephen owed her."

Hawke asked, "What about Stephen's attitude to Sarah now?"

Caroline thought for a while and said, "The more you can't get something, the more people often want it. The older people miss family affection."

She suddenly contacted herself, shook her head slightly, and didn't think much: "Stephen has no other children. I have asked someone for information. He really wants to restore his normal father-daughter relationship with Sarah, but Sarah has never been to him. Is it hot or not?”

Hawke remembered the last time he met Sarah, who mentioned his biological father and asked, "Stephen is somewhat famous in the Jewish circle?"

"I am close to seventy years old, and I have been a manager in the media industry for a long time." Caroline replied: "After so many years of accumulation, it can eventually affect some people, the Jewish circle. How can I say it, it is relatively closed. .”

Hawke saw a photo of Stephen Parker in the information and reminded him: "Cheerly check his current address, maybe we will use it."

The high commission was like a carrot hanging in front of a sheep's head. Caroline said without thinking, "I'll find a way to get it."

Hawke asked the key thing: "How did Sarah do pregnancy?"

These are Caroline helping Sarah contact: "Sarah follows our plan in case Bro Derek opposes, but he didn't let him know for the time being. I contacted me in the center and got an ovulation injection in a professional institution. I have been recently He pestered Bro Derek to do that, but Bro was in his forties, and Sarah was worried that she was too poor in her energy and was considering whether to ask for help from other men.”

Her tone became strange: "Sarah's efforts to win the prize are amazing."

But Hawk was more confident about Sarah's character.

He reminded: "It's better to be Bro's."

"I will persuade her." Caroline responded.

Hawke asked, "When will Sarah's agent be finalized?"

"The fastest is November." Caroline briefly explained: "Sarah is a first-line drama star. Who can become her supervisor's agent means that there will be a stable and high income every year, and the competition within the brokerage company is very fierce. .”

Hawke made a new request: "I remember you could influence Sarah and let her choose a broker who supports women's equal rights, preferably Jewish."

Caroline said, "This is not difficult. Sarah also mentioned at the last meeting that she was planning to do this."

The two discussed the follow-up matters at the coffee shop, and Hawke did not leave first until near noon.

He drove to Beverly Avenue, waited for a moment in the agreed parking lot, and a semi-new Chevrolet drove over.

Campos parked the car, waited for observation first, and confirmed that there was no follower, and then got out of the car and got into Hawke's car.

Hawke said, "I heard from the Savior that it's going well?"

"Many people come here and it's a problem to work illegally." Campos said the truth: "As long as they are willing to pay, they are very good at hearing."

Hawke nodded, “Do at your pace.”

Campos opened the bag he brought with him, took out some photos and handed them to Hawke: "This is what I've taken recently."

Hawke looked through one by one and found that there were Bro Derek in the photos, and there was also a man and a woman.

He knew all of them, and the man was Barack Bernan, chairman of the Ackerman Charity Foundation, one of the four targets.

Robert Downey Jr. has gone to see God, and his wife and children are being trained by the Savior.

Bro Derek is the goal of this plan.

Barack Bernan is next.

As for Buddy Ackerman, a billionaire, it's hard to deal with.

The woman in the photo is called Melissa Ackerman, Buddy's daughter.

Campos said: "Brow met these two people a lot lately."

After saying that, he specifically pointed to the man with a long face in a photo: "There is also this person. Broroe deliberately changed his clothes and car and saw him quietly."

Hawke had never seen the person in the photo, and he said directly: "Check who he is."

"Yes." After the Campos thing was said, he stopped staying for more and drove away soon.

Hawke continued to look through the photos, his eyes falling on Melissa Buckman.

He suddenly thought of the gun battle in Wyoming, what should he do if he loses too much blood or organ damage in the future?

That old **** Buddy Ackerman wanted to slap him, which means there is no problem with the blood type and the organ pairing.

This guy is old and useless. I wonder if there is any of his children and grandchildren.

...

Fox Building, Fox TV Center. After Gretchen took annual leave and returned to work, the first thing he did was to meet Cynthia Rosberg, director of Channel 11.

But Cynthia went to the meeting.

It was not until half afternoon that Gretchen met the director.

Cynthia said directly: "The channel has adjusted your work, and you go to the midday news in the future."

Gretchen had already expected this result and had many actions during his vacation, saying, "I applied for transfer."

Cynthia looked up and looked at Gretchen: "Let the upper hand send a letter, I won't stop you."

Fox TV has a big stage, and Channel 11 is just one of many sub-channels.

But it is not wise to have a conflict with your immediate boss, and Gretchen is very clear about Fox's workplace rules.

"Ace News" was robbed. If she and Cynthia had a breakup, there would be only one way to leave, and there would not even be a recommendation letter.

Cynthia waved her hand and said, "Go and do it quickly."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

"I will get it done as soon as possible." Before leaving, Gretchen said specifically: "Thank you."

Cynthia nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Gretchen came out of the director's office and called his former subordinate: "Nina, it's me. I'm going to transfer to other channels. Are you going with me?"

The person on the other side didn't say anything, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sorry, I'm familiar with "Ace News" and don't want to go to strange places."

"Good luck." Gretchen hung up the phone.

She knew very well that Nina had defected to Megan Taylor, other subordinates...

Gretchen shook her head, no longer saying anything, nor had to go back to the program team. While on annual leave, she took away all her personal belongings.

When she arrived at the entertainment floor of the building, she found a lounge, made another call, and said with a smile: "Susan, can you tell Roger that I'm back? If he has time, I can visit him at any time. ”

The person on the other side of the phone spoke, "I mentioned you to Roger. He is resting now, I'll ask."

Gretchen became nervous, put down his cell phone, looked at the dressing mirror, and quickly put on makeup.

Then she got up again and walked around in her high heels. Although she was thirty years old, she took good care of herself, especially her **** wrapped in a short skirt and her long stockings and legs under her, which was quite tempting.

The phone ringing rang, and Gretchen answered the phone, and the person over there said, "He asked you to come up now."

"OK."

Gretchen went out and came to the special elevator, pressed it, and after the elevator came down, he went straight to the top floor.

After leaving the elevator, she turned into a huge office with only one desk inside. Susan, who looked a little old, was guarding a door.

Behind the door is the supreme existence of the entire Fox TV network - Chairman and CEO Roger Ayers.

This man is deeply trusted by his boss Rupert Murdoch, and he decided to do anything on Fox TV.

Susan pointed at the door and said, "Just go in."

Gretchen smiled at her, came to the door and took a deep breath, calmed down slightly, and opened the mahogany door.

In the hospitality area, an old man who was as fat as a mountain of meat was sitting on a single sofa, with a kind expression like an elder.

Gretchen said, "Good afternoon, Roger."

Roger Ayers pointed to the couch on the next side: “Sit.”

Gretchen sat down carefully.

Roger asked, "I heard you have encountered some difficulties recently?"

Gretchen knew very well that he should not talk about his boss before his higher boss, let alone say bad things about Fox.

She said directly: "Fox News is preparing to launch the morning news show "Fox and Friends" to recruit hosts. Can I transfer it to it?"

Compared to Channel 11, which was reorganized by Fox's acquisition of 11 Los Angeles, Fox News has a wider audience.

Roger whispered: "I appreciate your ability to work and have considered promoting you."

He was not talking nonsense about this. Although he focused more on Fox News and rarely cared about branch channels, Roger still knew more about the famous female hosts below: "With your ability, hosting " Fox and Friends" is enough."

Gretchen held his breath silently, waiting for the words behind him.

Roger hadn't finished saying: "But I need loyalty, absolute loyalty, to prove your loyalty."

Gretchen was ready, but the moment came and it was still a little heavy.

They are not the green pools in Hollywood.

Roger Ayers, a veteran, asked, "I heard you were elected Miss America?"

He raised his hand up, "Get up, Gretchen, get up."

Gretchen stood up.

"Come to my side, get closer." Roger was familiar with it: "Raise your skirt and let me see your legs, hurry up, pull it higher."

Before, Gretchen would not have made such a choice.

But after losing "Ace News", she thought she had no choice.

Gretchen lifted up his skirt.

Then, under the command of Roger Ayers, she knelt on the ground.

If you want to hold your thighs, you must kneel down and move your mouth.

More than that, Roger said again, "You have to not only follow me, but also all the people you arranged for you..."

After a long time, Gretchen opened the mahogany door and came out of the office.

Susan looked up at her, put down her phone and said, "Congratulations, you passed the interview."

Gretchen smiled and could only say, "Thank you for helping me get this opportunity."

Just now, after the matter was over, she took advantage of Roger's very satisfied and talked about the style and preferences of some programs on Channel 11.

Originally from Channel 11, Los Angeles, he did not sit with Fox News.

Although he doesn't like the pig in the Oval Office and has a lot of power over the sub-channel style, Roger Ayers has also heard a lot of objections recently.

He called Cynthia, director of Channel 11: "It's me."

Cynthia on the other side immediately realized: "Roger, is there any problem with the Channel 11 program?"

"Your ratings are good." Roger first praised the capable general, and then his voice suddenly changed: "There are several episodes of the show that are too blue."

Cynthia is qualified to argue: "But the ratings are very high, which drives the advertising funding of the entire Channel 11."

Roger said: "You are not Los Angeles 11 now, but Fox 11."

Cynthia said, “I get it.”

When the phone went down there, she called Meghan's office and said directly: "Don't go deeper with Steve Nat, the joint media activities with LAPD can continue."

...

Century City, Spaca Restaurant.

Megan stuttered with red shrimp meat and asked, "How was he doing in Wyoming?"

Hawke took a box out of his bag and pushed it over: "It's okay, my little ranch beasts are flooding, killing some coyotes, and killing a bear and a cougar."

"Give me a gift? Is it OK?" Seeing Hawk nodding, Megan opened the box, which contained an olive stone sculpture.

Hawke simply said: "The specialty of Wyoming, carved from tremolite."

Megan put it away: "Thank you."

She picked up her bag and said, "There's something I'll tell you, I'm now officially appointed as the producer and host of Ace News."

Hawke said, "Congratulations, you are now the number one ace on Channel 11."

Meghan felt a sense of career satisfaction, but when he thought of the call from Cynthia, he specifically said: "The highest level of Fox TV network intervened in Channel 11. You should have heard that Fox TV network has been biased since its establishment. Yuxiang Party, no one cared about our sub-channel, but now the ratings are too high, which has attracted interference from the upper class."

Hawke understood: "Things that prefer equal rights cannot be reported anymore?"

"That's not the case. The first key point of the news station's existence is hot news." Meghan explained roughly: "The report can be done, but you can't set your position in advance as before."

Hawke asked, "Where are celebrity scandals? Like Hollywood's top stars."

Meghan answered seriously: "These are always hot news."
