Chapter 269 264 It Turns Out that My Mother Is the Real Queen of the Sea
Chapter 265 It turns out that my mother is the real Queen of the Sea
Huh
Eric shook his legs unconsciously, thinking about how to deal with this disaster.
With his behavior of digging up other people's ancestral graves and digging up other people's roots, the six major TV stations and various TV stations will not stop until they kill him.
Now the public opinion has just started, but it can be imagined that within three days, he will be pushed into the whirlpool of public opinion, and MGM and Lionheart Network will be in trouble together.
"Damn it, you are so cruel! If you don't make a move, it's fine, but once you make a move, it will be fatal!"
Pete glanced at the rearview mirror: "Boss, is it really that serious?"
Seeing Eric silent, he said again: "Boss, think about it in a different way. Since they have framed us, we don't have to follow the rules."
"Well, what do you mean?"
Pete raised his right hand and made a gun gesture against his temple: "Just shock it, and many things will be solved."
"No!" Eric rejected it without thinking.
What a joke, when dealing with ordinary people or even elite white-collar workers with some skills, one shot is enough to end everything.
But when your opponent is on the same level as you, playing the game of physical annihilation is purely courting death.
You can kill one or two, but you can't kill everyone at the same time.
On the other hand, others can also kill you and your family and friends. There is no winner in this dangerous game.
During the Cold War, the United States and Russia deployed nuclear bombs to threaten each other. In the end, Nixon and Khrushchev dismantled and withdrew all their troops. No one dared to use such a method of mutual destruction.
Fight to the best, even if MGM and Lionheart Network collapsed, you still have YouTube and Facebook.
After a few years of development, you can still make a comeback.
But if you are shot on the street one day, do you think it is unfair?
Ring!
The private phone suddenly rang, and Eric looked down and saw that it was Judy calling.
"OMG! Eric, I just fell asleep for half an hour and I woke up from a nightmare."
"Did you watch the news?"
"I saw it. The situation is very bad. It's all that bitch's fault. I really regret bringing her to Hollywood. I'm sorry!"
"What's the point of saying this now? The most urgent thing is to find Barrafaeli as soon as possible. Don't worry about the company's affairs recently. Try your best to find her first."
"I know what to do. I called you to reassure you."
"Huh?"
Eric was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what Judy was saying.
"Eric, I have to take a few days off. Give me a week and I will give you a satisfactory explanation."
"What? Wait, what are you talking about?"
"I know the company is going through difficulties now, but I hope you can hold on, at least for a week, and wait for me to come back. I will solve the problems I caused myself."
"Judy, what are you going to do? Explain clearly."
"I can't explain it clearly for the time being, anyway, wait for my good news."
"Judy, Judy, Judy Newhouse!"
Eric yelled, but the other party had hung up the phone.
He slapped his head with a headache, what the hell! At this time, you are still making trouble. Don't you think you are not troubled enough?
Judy is indeed related to what Barlefali did, but even without her, the six will find others and can't hide.
After being angry, Eric couldn't help but worry about what this guy wants to do.
Among the five of them, Judy is the best fighter, but she is also the most stubborn in character.
Eric glanced at Pete and was really worried that this girl would do something impulsive.
She might not be able to find Barrafaeli, but she knew where the headquarters of the six major companies and the TV stations were, and she also knew what the heads of each company looked like.
If she shot the other party with a submachine gun, it would not only fail to solve the problem, but would also add fuel to the fire and cause irreversible harm.
Eric quickly sent her a message, urging her not to be impulsive.
Judy replied, saying that she would not be impulsive and asked him to rest assured.
But Eric was really worried, so he asked Billy to go to her house to keep an eye on her and make sure there was no trouble.
Beverly Hills, Cooper's house.
Seeing the car coming, the reporters who had been squatting around all rushed out, hoping to stop Eric.
But the Lincoln sedan went straight into the yard, and they had no choice. They could not trespass into private territory, so they had to continue squatting.
In the living room, the little nanny Lisa brought coffee and left, and Eric sat face to face with his parents.
"Young man, you're in big trouble this time!" Dad said with worry.
Eric shrugged helplessly: "I'm not afraid of normal business competition, but I didn't expect them to use such despicable means."
"Despicable means are effective enough. You look exhausted because the other party has the right to speak in the mainstream media, just like when you dealt with Sony."
Eric rolled his eyes: "Dad, now is not the time to make fun of me. I came back to discuss with you if there is any good way to get through this difficult time."
"The best way is to admit defeat. If you can't lose face, I can come forward to plead with those old guys on your behalf. Giving up some interests can be exchanged for peace."
"Let me admit defeat? Are you kidding? Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Eric stated his attitude directly.
"Are you going to fight them to the end? To the death?"
"Yes, those guys can rest if they want, but they will never compromise unless I die!"
"Not only do I want to get back the glory that MGM once had, but I also want to get back all the copyrights that were lost, and you also see the development of the company."
"Dad, we have a great situation. The market recognizes this new model. Lionheart represents the future development direction of the film and television industry."
"Now we hold the remote control to the future in our hands, are you willing to throw it away?"
"Son, you look like that Silicon Valley Iron Man Musk. He wants to build rockets and launch satellites like a madman, and then attracts countless ridicules."
Eric smiled: "Yes, but do you know why Musk attracts ridicule, but I attract attacks?"
"Because his plan may not be realized, and my plan is already on the way to realization, those guys are afraid."
"Because I was afraid, I was anxious. Because I was anxious, I framed me."
Dad suddenly laughed too: "That's right. You can always see the shadow of passion in you. It feels so good. Then let us two old guys help you."
"Huh? Mom can help me too?" Eric frowned.
"Eric, don't look down on anyone. You don't know your mother, at least when she was young. Let's do a review first."
"Review what?"
"Look at what difficulties you are facing now, and then how many cards you have in your hand to play."
Eric nodded: "The difficulty is not because of the current pressure of public opinion. Bar Refaeli cannot be found. It is difficult to clarify this matter."
"only this?"
"What?"
"What about your five girlfriends?"
"Them? I haven't thought about it yet. I have to clear the company first."
Dad looked at mom: "Young people still need to learn more, and you need to ask your mother for advice in this regard."
"Huh?" Eric couldn't understand more and more.
Mom glared at Eric: "My brother is a bastard, and my brother is also a bastard. I know you two are not economical."
"Some time ago, we went to visit Joshua, and then we found out that he was dating three girls at the same time. Your mother was very angry and scolded him." Dad explained.
"Why don't you tell me something like this and make me happy too?"
Eric laughed, like a scumbag learning that others also got zero marks.
"What's so exciting? Those three girls also knew about each other's existence and started fighting."
"They beat Joshua up?"
"That's right. First, three people beat Joshua so hard that his face was bruised and his legs were broken."
Eric took a breath: "No, this is too cruel. Then Joshua will have to adopt children in the future."
Dad was speechless: "When did you tell such a bad joke? It's because your right leg is broken."
"Oh, okay, okay."
"Then the three girls began to feel sorry for Joshua again, and everyone wanted to be with him. The three of them fought with each other, and finally the four of them were admitted to the hospital together."
"Joshua is so powerful! Is he a succubus?"
"I'm going crazy because of the quarrel between the three girls, but your brother, a bastard, doesn't want to give up. He's still dreaming of the four of us living in harmony."
"Then he was beaten violently again. This time his left leg was fractured and he was completely unable to move."
"Emily feels very bad. Although Joshua is a bastard, he is also his mother's bastard. She obviously doesn't want your brother to suffer this."
"There is no other way. Your dear mother can only take action herself and help Joshua deal with those three girls."
"Persuading them to leave?"
Dad was silent for a moment: "No, we brought the four of them together. Now the three of us take care of Joshua every day, and he can already get out of bed and walk."
"What?"
Eric's voice suddenly rose an octave, and then he looked at his mother in disbelief.
Mom sighed: "If I weren't worried about Joshua being beaten to death, I wouldn't have helped him. Lord, I'm guilty!"
Eric asked with a black face, what happened today? It seemed that everything had subverted his outlook and cognition.
Dad patted him on the shoulder: "Son, I know you are confused. As I said just now, you don't understand your mother's past."
"When we were young, do you know what time it was?"
"Uh hippie?" Eric thought for a moment and tried to answer.
"Yes, it was the era when hippies were popular. Young people were going crazy. Everyone was pursuing independence and liberation movements."
"Drugs, highs, heavy metal, rock, tattoos, rivets"
"Young people infect each other and spread these cultures like a virus. No one is immune, including the two of us."
"At that time, Emily was a famous love expert. She sang, danced, and graffitied. She went to bars and nightclubs every day, and hung out with a group of boys on the streets."
"My dear, how many young men were you dating at the same time?"
My mother sighed in embarrassment: "There is no need to tell Eric the details. I was indeed very rebellious at that time and did a lot of things that were against the world."
"But luckily I came to my senses later. When I almost died on the street because of the drugs, I was taken to the hospital by a passing priest."
"I was lucky enough to save a small life. Death always makes people see more clearly. Since then, I have become a believer."
"Then I married your dad, and then we had you two little bastards."
Eric was stunned to listen to the two people telling stories of the past. He never expected that his mother, who looked very pious, was actually a little gangster.
Not only a little gangster, but also a sea queen.
Seeing her difficult expression, I am afraid that she must have had many boyfriends.
Joshua only had three, and he only said five, maybe he didn't even catch up with a fraction of his mother's brilliant record.
"Hahaha, it seems that we have a family inheritance." Eric laughed.
"I think you want to be beaten, young man!" said his mother angrily.
Eric hurried over to hug her, rubbing against her like a kitten and acting like a spoiled child: "Mom, my dearest mom, how can you bear to see your beloved little son suffer? Now he needs your help."
Mom pushed Eric away with disdain: "Now is a critical moment. I help you to prevent them from affecting your career and to avoid new scandals."
"Some women can do anything because of love. One Barlefali makes you anxious. If another one comes out, can you still handle it!"
"Okay, who are these five women? What are their personalities? Do they know each other? How is the relationship? Are there any conflicts? There are also family environment, degree of dependence on you, and the level of intimacy between you"
Mom asked a lot of questions, and Eric didn't feel tedious, but felt very relieved.
Now! This is professionalism!
"Mom, I know you might be surprised when you hear the name, but please don't be surprised, we are here to solve the problem."
"You already know Gal Gadot, and then there is Charlize Theron, who just won the Best Actress Oscar this year. Do you have any impression?"
Mom nodded. She also watched the award ceremony. Dad secretly gave a thumbs up, as if to say that his son has good taste.
"The third one is Nicole Kidman."
"Who?" Mom's eyes widened instantly.
"You know Nicole Kidman. She often sends things to our house. She said the ostrich meat is delicious."
"OMG! So she suddenly approached me for this. We often go to church together. No wonder she always mentions you intentionally or unintentionally. Now I finally understand."
"Nicole and I have a good relationship. She is always worried that you will object because of age issues, so she can only approach you secretly, hoping to gain your favor. She really tries hard."
Mom rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Go on, but you'd better not find me another divorced older woman."
"Of course, of course, the other two are very young and successful in their careers. They just won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. You watched the award ceremony, hehe"
Eric laughed dryly a few times and didn't dare to say Ashley and Mary's names directly.
Dad and Mom had already opened their mouths and shouted in unison: "You screwed the Olsen sisters!"
