Chapter 240

Chapter 240 Girlfriend's best friend

Abel's appearance is clearly a big event for the "Spider-Man" crew.

Like Michael Eisner, Chairman and CEO of Disney, no matter which Disney group he joins, he is sure to be extremely loved by the group.

After all, the status is there.

As the head of MGM, Abel went to see a movie invested in by MGM.

Of course this is the biggest one. Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire after kissing Anne Hathaway.

Both of them, the producer and other important members of the team, obediently approached Abel, looking very silent.

After greeting.

Abel carefully observed and discovered that Sam Remy and Tobey Maguire seemed somewhat similar in appearance.

Especially in this era, Tobey Maguire, as Parker in "Spider-Man", is the American version of an honest man. This makes them both feel more like brothers.

But these two people have nothing to do with each other, they just look alike.

It fits the appearance of an honest European and American white person.

This made Abel unable to help but look a few more times.

Abel's position in this circle is too high. When he arrived, neither Tobey Maguire nor Sam Remy dared to speak up.

Only when Abel actively talked to them did they dare to respond.

"Shooting a gun shouldn't be that difficult, right?"

"Oh, if you have any difficulties, just tell me directly."

"Well, when you go to Manhattan to film, you can ask Annie to find you."

"Yeah, not bad. As long as the box office is good, everyone can have a share, or... more."

"."

Basically, Abel does the talking, Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire the docile producer. Abel also found it boring.

He also knows that, with his current status, even the biggest Hollywood bigwigs.

In front of me right now, I guess it's better than Tobey Maguire and Sam Remy.

It is similar to the "path of attack and defense" that Lao Ma took later.

This movie doesn't cost much money. But almost all famous Chinese stars have been gathered.

Salary is almost zero, filming this movie makes Lao Ma addicted to kung fu and martial arts.

During filming, Lao Ma, a three-legged cat and a layman beat the actor so hard that the actor did not dare to say anything, so he gritted his teeth and finished filming.

At this time, Lao Ma is at his highest energy level.

The same thing happened with Abel. Furthermore, Abel is different from Lao Ma, at most Lao Ma has the title of richest person, while Ali Pictures is only responsible for investment.

On Abel's side, he had one of the industry's true giants, the head of MGM.

These superstars and celebrities have shined in the eyes of fans and cinema audiences thousands of times.

In front of him, he was as helpless as a group of Chinese stars suspended by an old horse in the "Path of Attack and Defense".

Chatting and gossiping, Abel himself was bored. I was bored at noon today so I came here to visit class. Curious about how Hollywood makes movies, stop by and take a look.

Thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and said:

"Sam, right? Don't affect the progress of the movie because I'm here. You continue filming, I'll just stand outside and watch."

The big boss spoke up. Sam Remy also breathed a sigh of relief, immediately greeted the crew and actors and continued filming.

It took half an hour for Abel to arrive, once the crew members' initial excitement had worn off.

At the request of the director and rock security staff, filming also began.

Abel, along with Anne and producer Peter Passy, ​​watched Tobey Maguire's performance from the sidelines.

Perhaps because of him, Tobey Maguire is under a lot of pressure. While filming, Toby continued.

Abel laughed loudly. After confirming that Anne had no filming duties to do, he took her away without interfering with the filming crew.

When we left the group, it was past four o'clock in the afternoon.

The two found a high-end restaurant in Queens and had dinner together.

Return to Manhattan after dinner. On the way back to town, I happened to hit the evening rush hour and was stuck on the road for over an hour before returning to Carnegie Hill.

As soon as she got home, Anne couldn't help it anymore, she went to take a shower.

In the living room, Abel turned on the TV, turned down the temperature, and was bored.

The focus is still on the AMC television channel. He discovers that the reality show where he asks Richard Plepler to find Bear Grylls has a trailer. The name of this reality show is "Survival in the Wild".

Bell, who was much younger, more beautiful and more energetic than in parallel time and space, began his famous work under the influence of Abel.

Abel cannot remember where he went in the first episode "Survival in the Wild" of the first season of Master Pei.

Anyway, the first episode of the first season of the AMC TV version of "Survival in the Wild," the destination is the wilds of Las Vegas.

But for now it's just a trailer. Abel saw it and it will be the first day of next month.

In other words, it will be officially launched on June 1, 2001.

In his previous life, he liked to watch wilderness survival shows. Abel thought about it and planned to call Richard Plepler.

The big boss of the AMC television network wanted to preview young Pei Ye's performance.

But after searching on his cell phone, he discovered that his number two cell phone did not have Richard Plepler's number. It only took one phone call to find out Richard Plepler's phone number. He even asked the director of AMC TV to come and meet him in person immediately.

But the first time he couldn't find Richard Plepler's cell phone number, and Abel, who was now interested, abandoned the project.

At that moment Anne walked out of the room.

He also put down the phone.

Annie went to take a shower. She wore an extremely sexy lace nightgown, a semi-transparent white nightgown, the skirt only reaching to her hips, her smooth white arms, her slender legs completely exposed to the air. .

Because she had just finished bathing, her skin was extremely white, soft and moist, almost fragile looking.

Her wet hair was still dripping with water, dripping onto her clothes, the beautiful scenery silhouetted against her white nightgown.

Seeing Abel staring at her, his eyes full of possession, as if he wanted to eat her, Annie blushed and smiled beautifully: "What are you looking at, you want to eat people!"

"No, I want you to eat it." Abel said.

Annie was stunned for a moment, then blushed for a moment. After more than a year of dating, she has become an experienced driver in this field.

Old Siji Anne understood that as soon as she heard it.

"Aha~ Then I'll eat you~" She jumped up and lay on top of Abel.

Abel hugged her tightly and his hands naturally went where they needed to go.

Having said that, Abel really "admired" the male protagonists in these novels who hugged a beautiful girl who could ask for anything and could sit still. He does not have the abilities of a eunuch.

However, it seems that eunuchs also like women, otherwise why would there be an antonym for food?

Even eunuchs know how to find good food.

Furthermore, he is a normal man, with a healthier body than normal people.

He grabbed Annie's smooth, round shoulders. Another wonderful evening.

Next morning.

Smith Building,

Fourth floor transaction room.

David Mellon accompanied Abel, walking among the merchants.

The current USD/NOK price remains worrisome between 7.6050 and 7.6100. "The Neon Man added some fries."

David Mellon took a sip of coffee and said:

"But I suspect a third party has entered the market, but the other party is very cautious and the speed of building positions is very slow, so we cannot find it for the time being."

After a day of betting with each other, Smith Capital and Neon sat at the gambling table, and the total amount of money between the two sides exceeded five billion US dollars.

The two sides play causing the USD/NOK exchange rate to fluctuate very frequently overnight.

This type of volatility has long attracted the attention of global investors.

Especially retail investors with large numbers and average strength.

This is clearly shown by the sharp increase in the number of USD/NOK transactions in the past 24 hours. "Normal condition." Abel said gently:

"I suspect the whole of Wall Street and the City of London are watching our bet now."

David also nodded, thinking that what his boss said made sense.

Like in 1991 when Soros attacked the British pound.

The side was also surrounded by a large audience.

"So what should we do now?" David asked the boss.

Abel said: "Didn't I say it yesterday? 100,000 new lots, or about 10,000 lots per day, it takes ten days to open a position.

David was stunned for a moment, is it that simple?

David wasn't sure, but he believed in Abel's arrangement so he nodded immediately.

"Alright."

Look around and confirm that the situation is normal.

Abel leaves the Smith Building.

noon. Manhattan, Union Square.

Union Square is a large square in Manhattan. Connects Fifth Avenue and Broadway near 14th Street.

Nearby are famous universities like New York University and Parsons School of Design, as well as weekend markets and big-name chain stores.

It is the equivalent of the college town of Manhattan. Land in Manhattan is too expensive and not many schools can afford to open schools here.

The campus area is smaller than other areas.

New York University's Manhattan campus is currently the largest campus on the island of Manhattan.

At a restaurant called Brandy on the north side of Houston Street, Abel was waiting for someone.

A while later, about half past twelve. The restaurant door opened, two skinny girls just looked in the door.

Bodyguard captain Doni next to Abel leaned forward: "Miss Bush, the boss is here."

"Oh, it's you. Donnie, please." Little Laura smiled and said.

"Nothing." Donnie looked curiously at the Asian girl behind little Laura.

Doni believes that this Asian girl's figure is not "Asian" enough. A normal Asian girl but never such a big bear.

Led by Donnie, little Laura and her companion walked around the hallway and into the deepest part of the brandy restaurant.

Little Laura noticed him in front of the table where Abel was sitting.

The captain of his security team, Marcus, and the captain of Abel's bodyguards, Edward, nodded at him.

Little Laura knew that it was she and Abel who had accepted their protection. She smiled warmly at the two captains, took her companion's hand and walked towards Abel.

"Hello honey, good afternoon." Little Laura happily greeted.

Abel smiled: "Good afternoon."

While responding to little Laura, he looked curiously at little Laura's companion, just like Donnie.

Seeing the silhouette of this Asian girl, Abel also felt the same as Doni just now.

That's the body of this Asian girl, not Asian at all. It is no longer Xiong Da or Xiong Er.

It is already a lighthouse.

Abel and little Laura have a meeting tomorrow morning. During our lunch break, we ate lunch together in front of the NYU Manhattan campus.

Then, around noon, little Laura called him and told him she was bringing a friend from school.

Of course, Abel did not refuse, he went to the restaurant first and waited. I just didn't expect that the friend Laura met at school was an Asian girl.

He thought she would be some blue-blooded lady, the daughter of the richest man in the Mayflower.

Little Laura held the tied Asian girl's hand and sat down across from Abel.

After sitting down, she smiled and introduced her companion to Abel.

"He is a friend I met at school. Her name is Jessica. Oh, that's his English name. I cannot pronounce this name correctly in his native language. Is it Li Xinyu? »

The Asian girl whose English name is Jessica couldn't help but loudly correct: "It's not Li Xinyu, Lauren, your pronunciation is wrong. It's 'LiXinYu'."

"What's the difference?" said little Laura. "Forget it, just call me Jessica." The Asian girl looked at Abel and smiled:

"Mr. Smith, my name is Jessica Lee. It's nice to meet you. Lauren has mentioned your name many times in front of me."

Look at this pure and beautiful Asian girl wearing headlights.

Abel suddenly said in standard Mandarin:

"Your name is Li Xinyu?" Ly Tan Ngu?

He blurted out some natural Mandarin, leaving little Laura and Jessica stunned.

Little Laura: "Honey, what language do you speak?" This presentation is a case in point. I think I've heard it somewhere but I forgot what language it was.

"It looks like Chinese? Chinese." Jessica said:

"But I'm sorry, Mr. Smith, I'm not from China, I'm Korean. Sorry, I don't understand Chinese."

"Oh, sticky." Abel muttered in Chinese.

He just thought that this Jessica was of Chinese descent, or Chinese. will speak and greet in Mandarin.

Unexpectedly, it is not only a stick but also a very beautiful lighthouse.

"Honey, you speak Chinese." Little Laura was surprised: "I didn't expect your Chinese to be so good!

Abel laughed and stammered:

"I studied fine arts when I was in college. For a while, I was very obsessed with Chinese ink painting and traditional Chinese painting. I found a teacher in Huaxia and I also learned Chinese Nation."

The first half of these words is true. Abel actually learned Chinese ink painting techniques and also found a Chinese teacher in related fields.

In other words, when they learn and teach, they actually use English.

Unless he finds a teacher to confront him, no one will doubt what he says.

After all, who would have thought that there would be such a scandalous thing as another soul in the body of a genuine Angsan Mayflower?

"Alright."

Abel smiled and said:

"Do we still have to study in the afternoon? Let's eat first, we'll come back after eating.

Both girls nodded.

On one side is Doni, who works as a temporary waiter, bringing the restaurant's menu.

The theme of this brandy restaurant is Nordic flavors, Nordic cuisine.

Seafood and meat are served with very fresh forest ingredients.

The restaurant was actually chosen by little Laura, who and Jessica had eaten there before. When ordering, little Laura also presented to Abel:

".Even though it is Nordic style food. But the flavor is not as mild as imagined, I personally find it very memorable. My favorite is the grilled cod with fresh seasonal peas. The flavors and textures are so layered.

Abel smiled and nodded: "Then you can order me a set just like yours."

Little Laura smiled friendly at him.

The two girls bowed their heads and began to order. Abel's eyes locked on them for a moment and then looked out the window.

Abel noticed that outside there was a Secret Service agent protecting little Laura, chatting with two Asian men wearing suits.

The eyes of two Asian men wearing suits occasionally turned towards this table.

This made Abel frown.

On the table in front, Edward, who was observing her expression, noticed her eyes. Edward immediately looked in the direction Abel was looking, then asked Marcus next to him:

"Marcus, what are you two talking about with your subordinates outside?"

Marcus looked, turned and said to Edward:

"These two Asians are both Miss Jessica's bodyguards. Her family is very powerful in the Han state, and she also has a team of assistant bodyguards."

"OH." Edward nodded, planning to talk about this with Abel later.

On Abel's side, Laura and Jessica have already ordered food.

Little Laura ordered grilled cod with fresh seasonal peas, two portions, one for herself and Abel.

Fortunately, little Laura also knew that such a little food was not enough for Abel. She saw Abel's excessive appetite and ordered a lot of grilled meats and Nordic meats.

Like Swedish venison meatballs, Icelandic lamb shank, Nordic waffles, and more.

Jessica was surprised that Laura was reluctant to order so much, but she herself ordered grilled cod with fresh seasonal peas and cream of fish soup.

After ordering, everyone started chatting again.

Mostly Laura talked, Jessica occasionally answered a few questions, Abel smiled and listened, occasionally asking questions. ".Who would have thought. Jessica looks so weak and pure but what she likes most is racing!"

"Race car, it's a race car!"

Little Laura talked over and over about herself and Jessica.

tells about how the two met and got to know each other, and finally talks about Jessica's hobbies.

"I always talk about myself" Jessica looks pure and weak, her personality doesn't seem very weak.

She also announced the news about baby Laura: "Me too. Lauren, you also like race cars.

"Um" Little Laura pulled Jessica under the table, telling her not to talk.

But Jessica was exposed a lot by her. Now she knows that the Abel in front of her is Little Laura's boyfriend.

She ignored little Laura's hint and continued:

"You also said that you started driving when you were 12 years old, which scared your parents. You also said that you went to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to watch F1 last year and you also said that your dream is to drive an F1 car.

"You said it again! It hurts! Let it go, let it go, I won't say it, I won't say it."

"Stop." Little Laura gritted her teeth and slapped Jessica. Jessica painfully swallowed her words and screamed, then tried not to be outdone. The two girls burst out laughing, little Laura looked at her boyfriend's meaningful eyes, and finally stopped shyly.

Jessica also felt that it was a bit rude, she blushed and remained silent.

"I have never heard that you have such hobbies."

Abel suddenly said softly: "If that's the case, maybe I should consider adding a track for you in Lauren's Flower?"

Little Laura smiled mischievously, at that moment Donnie and the other waiters acting as guests began bringing up the dishes.

Little Laura quickly said: "Ah, don't talk about that, I'm hungry, eat quickly." Honey, you can enjoy this grilled silver cod with fresh seasonal peas. It's really delicious!"

Abel glanced at her to calculate points with his friends later, smiled, took the food she pushed and started eating.
