Chapter 692: Death Arrives
"Crack!"
The key was turned, the door was opened, Monroe walked in, and when she looked up, she saw the three little raccoons squatting on the sofa in the living room watching TV. When they heard the sound, they all turned their heads to look at Monroe.
Monroe smiled at them, waved her hand and said hello, "Hey, three brothers."
"Yi Yi Yi."
The three little raccoons also imitated Monroe and raised their little paws to say hello.
Monroe was amused by their movements.
Putting the bag on the table, Monroe inadvertently found a stack of white paper on the table with densely printed words on it.
Her heart just moved, and then she became a little nervous and expectant.
"Maybe when you come back in the evening, you can see your contract on the table." Menglu suddenly thought of what Jiang Hao said before going out.
Is that it?
Monroe slowly bent down and saw the words on the paper. After he saw clearly, his eyes were a little red.
At this moment, the man came out from the study and hugged Monroe from behind. Monroe shook her body, turned around and hugged the man's neck tightly, "Jon, thank you, thank you."
The necks of the three little raccoons were twisted 108 degrees, and their small eyes watched a man and a woman in the living room kiss wantonly. Suddenly, a little guy remembered Jiang Hao's warning, quickly raised his little paw, and covered his eyes .
The other two followed suit, covering their eyes with their paws, but their small paws were obviously forked, never covering their eyelids, and did not cover their eyes at all, and their small eyes still looked at the two of them.
The two finally separated, and Monroe looked at Jiang Hao with a flushed face, "Jon, you really got it back, I'm so happy, it feels like a prisoner has been released from the chain all at once."
"Yes, you are free." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
Monroe looked at Jiang Hao, and suddenly shook her head, "No, I'm not free yet, I saw it, the contract was transferred to you, and from now on, I'll be imprisoned by you again."
"The original copy is here, tear it up, and you will be completely free." Jiang Hao said, saying that Jiang Hao was going to get the contract.
Monroe grabbed his hand and stopped Jiang Hao's movement, "No, Jon, keep it, keep it, you deserve it, and I'm willing to be imprisoned by you, if one day I don't love you anymore You, want to break free from your cage, I will redeem this contract myself, but now, please keep it."
Love?
dignity?
Stubborn character?
Jiang Hao couldn't tell what Monroe was thinking now, since she insisted, let's stay.
Lawyer Robert is still in the office, the lights in the office are on, and it’s completely dark outside. When he finished reading the last sentence, he felt a sense of release and a little bit of reluctance. People hope that a good story can be appreciated forever. But I am looking forward to his ending, which is an ambivalence.
"This book is really great, it's the best novel I've read in recent years." Robert murmured.
He raised his hand to look at his wrist. It was past 7 o'clock in the evening, feeling hungry. He stuffed two manuscripts into his briefcase, left the law firm, got in the car and came to a high-end restaurant. Today he made a lot of money. , he decided to reward himself.
After ordering a meal, during the interval of serving the meal, Robert thought of another book by Jiang Hao.
Could another book be as wonderful as "Scent of a Woman"? He suddenly looked forward to it very much, and even felt a little impatient. If he didn't take a look at it first, he took out another manuscript from his briefcase.
"The Bridge of Madison County".
Seeing the name this time, he didn't dare to guess the content.
The Bridge of Madison County is obviously much thinner than the previous book, "I hope it's a good story." Robert opened the manuscript and looked at it.
Soon, Robert was attracted by this story,
"Sir, your steak." The waiter brought Robert's dinner.
"Okay, let's put it there first."
"Sir, your soup."
"Put it down first, thank you."
"Sir, your dish doesn't seem to be touched at all. I'm afraid it's going to be cold. Is it not to your taste?" The waiter came over and asked concerned.
Robert put down the manuscript and smiled at the waiter, "Thank you for your concern, I just forgot while reading, um, it looks delicious, I'll start eating now."
After dinner, Robert asked the waiter to bring a pot of black tea. Before he could go home, he took out "Bridges of Madison County" and read it again.
The story of Madison Bridge is not long, only about 30,000 words. Robert read it quickly, feeling a little uneasy.
This is a poignant and sad love. Although it is not bloody, it is deeply touching and hits people's heartstrings.
The shackles of family and marriage break through the shackles of the heart and bravely choose to love, but after all, she can't get rid of family ethics. She is unwilling to hurt her family, and she has responsibilities on her body. Finally, she returns to reality. This is a story about love, lust, responsibility, emotion, A story of back-and-forth collisions between families.
good story,
It's definitely a good story.
"I didn't expect that playboy, oh no, it was Mr. Hall. I didn't expect that Mr. Hall was really a good writer." Robert thought.
With works like this, why not sell them well?
tomorrow,
Be sure to find a suitable publisher and have a good discussion. If the negotiation is successful, this is also a considerable commission.
the next day,
Monroe went to class with a happy mood, and the problems were solved. She is now free and feels much more comfortable in the hot weather.
After Monroe left, Jiang Hao took out the talisman drawing tool from the space, and drew two talismans in a short while, bad luck talisman, hehehe.
Blanks, is my Jiang Hao's money so easy to get? Maybe I should let you see what it means to be the god of death.
After putting away the bad luck talisman, he took out the mask and put it on himself in front of the mirror. Within two minutes, the person in the mirror had become Mr. Stark.
He went out and drove his own car, and soon came to the downstairs of Blanks' brokerage company. The address was told to Jiang Hao by Robert's lawyer, and it was not difficult to find here.
This is an office building with more than 30 floors. Blanks' brokerage company rents to work here. Jiang Hao went upstairs directly by taking the elevator, "Excuse me, is this the Lance Brokerage Company?" Jiang Hao asked the receptionist .
"Yes sir, what can you do?" asked the receptionist.
"Is Blanks there?"
"In his office."
"My name is Cameron, and I'm a director. I have some business with Mr. Blanks." Jiang Hao said.
The receptionist brought Jiang Hao to Blanks' office, and the two met. Seeing that business was coming, Blanks happily invited Jiang Hao to sit down and asked the receptionist to make a cup of coffee.
"Mr. Cameron, are you a director? May I ask what you want from me." Blanks said with a smile.
"A few days ago, I saw a beautiful blonde girl in a TV advertisement. I found out that her name is Marilyn Monroe, and she belongs to your company. I want to ask her to make a movie." Jiang Hao said.
Blanks was stunned for a moment, and another one came to find Monroe on his own initiative. It seemed that the woman was really in demand. At this moment, he regretted selling her contract.
Blanks did not say that Monroe's contract was no longer in his hands, but asked: "What movie do you want her to make."
Jiang Hao showed a meaningful smile, "I opened a small film company. As you know, it is difficult for a small company to start. I think pornography is a good start. That Marilyn Monroe is very sexy, very It is easy to arouse the desire of men, if she is our leading role, it should be able to attract those men with excessive hormone secretion into the movie theater."
Pueraria?
Blanks thought about it and felt that Monroe was really suitable.
"How much are you going to pay her?" Blanks asked.
"A film costs 2,000 to 3,000 US dollars. It depends on how long it takes. You know, that kind of film is usually not very long, and it can be finished in a week at most." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
Blanks felt even more regretful, 3,000 a week, he can deduct 2,000, and then he can earn the money to sell her in two or three months. Did he really lose a hen that lays golden eggs? .
He rolled his eyes, "Mr. Cameron, she is a good girl, she may find it hard to accept that kind of film."
"If the effect is good, the remuneration will be increased in the future, and she can even be promoted as a porn star. Then it will not be a matter of thousands of dollars, are you right?" Jiang Hao said.
Blanks naturally also thought of this question, "It should be difficult to convince her for the first time, I need time to convince her."
"OK, then I'll wait for your good news. I still have something to do. I'll come back to you in three days. It's still about this time." Jiang Hao said and got up.
Blanks came out to see them off, and they shook hands at the door of the office. Jiang Hao held Blanks' hand with his right hand, and patted his shoulder twice with his left hand, feeling very close, and then left.
Blanks didn't notice at all, two talisman lights shone on his back.
Jiang Hao was not stingy, and used all two chapters of bad luck charms on Blanks at once. After Jiang Hao left, Blanks sat back in the boss chair. What he was thinking now was how to persuade Monroe to come back.
If coercion is not enough, then lure. There are few women in this world who can resist the temptation of money and fame. The previous unhappiness is nothing in the eyes of capitalists. As long as there is business, enemies can become friends again.
Even if he can't persuade Monroe back, he still has other ideas, and pushes out other small models under his banner. Monroe is sexy, but other girls are also beautiful. If he can really cultivate a porn star, his income will be greatly increased Increase.
After leaving the office building, Jiang Hao didn't go home. He saw a coffee shop across the street. Jiang Hao walked over, stopped at a place outside the door, picked out a few newspapers, dropped two coins, and held the newspapers Into the cafe.
The air-conditioning was turned on in the cafe, which was very comfortable. Jiang Hao found a seat by the window and sat down, spreading out the newspaper to read.
"The leader of the New York gangster 3K gang was killed in the apartment, causing chaos in New York's underworld forces. The New York Police Department is on full alert. The chief claims to catch the vicious murderer as soon as possible."
Blanks took the car keys and went downstairs, and said to the secretary, "I have something to go out," he said to the secretary as he walked out, without paying attention to the table in front of him, and suddenly hit the corner of the table, what a coincidence Yes, the corner of the table hit his crotch.
The man's weakness was hit, and Blanks bent down in pain, "Oh~~", it hurts too much, damn it, why is he so unlucky.
When he came to the elevator entrance, he pressed the elevator a few times, and found that the elevator was stuck and couldn't get down. After waiting for a while, someone came to inform him that the elevator was broken, so he had to take the stairs.
Walking downstairs, just halfway through, Blanks was already sweating. He was still wearing a suit and tie. He cursed the damn elevator and took off his suit.
Just as he was putting on his suit, he was distracted and didn't pay attention to his feet, he staggered and fell, "Gulu Gulu, Kacha."
Blanks' neck was twisted at an odd angle before he passed out.
The elevator was broken, and other people were walking up the stairs. Soon someone found Blanks unconscious, and then someone notified the building staff. Someone called the hospital for ambulance, and Blanks was picked up quickly. go to the hospital.
Jiang Hao was reading the newspaper in the cafe, when he heard the sound of an ambulance outside, he glanced outside, just in time to see Blanks being carried out.
"Damn, it's really fast. It hasn't been ten minutes yet, and I fainted."
I don't know how long it took, Blanks woke up in a daze, he couldn't remember what happened before, it seemed, it seemed that he fell down, in the corridor, the damn elevator was broken, and he could only walk the stairs .
where is this
He wanted to turn his head to look, but found that his neck could not move at all, he could only stare blankly at the white ceiling.
suddenly,
A familiar face appeared on top of his head. It was a woman in her thirties. He was Blanks' third wife, Martha. Seeing Blanks woke up, Martha said sadly: "Oh, Blanks, you finally woke up, you know, you have been in a coma for three days."
Blanks tried to speak, but he found he could not, and now he could do nothing but see and think.
The woman continued: "You fell down the stairs, the doctor said you broke your neck, your current condition is high paraplegia, you may have to lie in bed for the rest of your life, oh, I'm really sad, Lance found me yesterday and said You are sick and need money to see a doctor, and under the witness of a lawyer, I sold the shares to Lance."
Blanks really wanted to talk, and wanted to scold this woman. He and Lance jointly operated the brokerage company. He holds 40% of the shares. It was his hard work and his business. How could he transfer it to Lance, that vampire.
But he could only look up with his eyes open, unable to do anything, even if he wanted to express his anger.
At this moment, endless sadness rose in his heart.
"Branks, don't worry, I will find the best doctor to see you, I believe you will be fine."
The woman wiped her tears and left.
Stepping on high-heeled shoes and a skirt covering her buttocks, the woman left the hospital with her hips twisted and a small bag. A young man with an Elvis head cut opened the passenger door for the woman, and the woman sat in.
The man sat in the driver's seat, and the two immediately kissed, "Is everything done?" the man asked.
"Hehe, yes, it's all done, I left him a week's treatment fee, Bin, now we can happily find a place for vacation." The woman said with a smile.
"How about Las Vegas?" the man raised his eyebrows and said.
"Of course, Blanks' $200,000 is in my hands, let's go." The woman said with a cool shake of her head.
The car whized off.
In the ward, Blanks' eyes were open, staring at the white ceiling, which was as white as heaven, and he seemed to see an angel waving to him.
In the evening, Monroe came home. After dinner, the two of them took a shower together, laughed and played for a while, and chatted in the living room. Monroe talked about what she learned today, and Jiang Hao explained to her what she didn't understand. , to deepen her impression.
"Jon, today we had a drama performance. My drama teacher, Mr. Sanders, was very dissatisfied with my performance and told me again that I am not a very suitable person for acting. Jon, am I stupid? " Monroe said with some frustration, looking at Jiang Hao with sad and sad eyes.
Jiang Hao shook his head and said: "I really think your Mr. Sanders is very problematic. He only saw your current performance and denied your future. He didn't see your efforts. This is wrong."
"Failure may make people sad, but persistence can make people successful."
"There is a man who failed in business at the age of 21, failed in the state legislature at the age of 22, failed again in business at the age of 24, died of his beloved wife at the age of 26, had a mental breakdown at the age of 27, and lost the election for the federal representative at the age of 34. At the age of 36, he ran for the Federal House of Representatives and failed again, at the age of 45, he was unsuccessful for the Federal Senate, at the age of 47, he was nominated for the Vice President and was unsuccessful, at the age of 49, he was unsuccessful for the Federal Senate, but finally, at the age of 52, he was elected as the 16th U.S. President President."
"President Lincoln." Monroe said.
Jiang Hao touched Monroe's blond hair and said, "Lincoln firmly believes that God's delay is not God's rejection. He has been defeated and fought repeatedly, and finally achieved extraordinary things. Monroe, follow your dream. Besides, you are afraid Lost something?"
"Not afraid."
"So, let's continue." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
Monroe looked sideways at Jiang Hao, "Jon, I feel like you are a master speaker, you always make me full of confidence."
"I hope you will always be full of confidence. By the way, Marilyn, I have something to tell you. I am going to take a long trip. I have a few important things to do. It will take about 1 to 2 weeks." Jiang Hao said .
"Where to go?"
"Las Vegas." Jiang Hao said.
Jiang Hao does have important things to do. In this world, he is a person without identity. In the past few days since he came to this world, Jiang Hao has been thinking about how to solve this problem, because the next thing he needs to do is to a legal identity.
Why go to Las Vegas?
Because the more chaotic the place, the easier it is to get legal things. Believe it or not, Jiang Hao believes anyway, let alone Las Vegas in 1955.
