American Peanuts

Chapter 49
On a clear afternoon, the blue Danube River was rippling with turquoise waves, and the water and sky were the same color. A double-decker cruise ship slowly passed by the river, making a melodious whistle.

"At the end of the 1839th century, two cities on both sides of the Danube, Buda and Pest, merged into one, thus forming a unique twin city in the world. Buda on the right bank retains a rich history and is dotted with several medieval buildings, while Pest on the left bank It embodies modernity and prosperity. In front is the Széchenyi Chain Bridge, which was built in [-] and connects the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. It is also called the Lion Bridge because of the bronze lion statue standing at the entrance..."

In the cabin, the tour guide is introducing this ancient city passionately.Jetta was wearing a peaked cap and looked curiously at the classical humanistic buildings on both sides of the river.

She had long wanted to come to this city for sightseeing. She just mentioned it casually yesterday, and today she appeared in this city.

It feels so good to just leave and leave everything behind. The premise is that you have strong financial resources like Charlie.

When she thought of this, she turned her head and looked at Charlie beside her.

Charlie was still in the same posture as when he first got on the sightseeing boat, fiddling with his mobile phone intently. The only difference was that his legs were crossed at the moment.

"Look at the Matthias Church in the distance, how beautiful it is." Jeta pulled Charlie's sleeves.Pointing at the majestic building rising in the distance.

Charlie put down his cell phone. He also felt that it was time to take a break. To be precise, it was time to let the bullets fly for a while.

His personal Twitter was full of fire, announcing five Weinstein crimes at once, including the specific time and place, but the names of the victims were all pseudonyms.And at the end, Weinstein was asked to surrender immediately, otherwise more incidents would be released.

Budapest is seven hours ahead of the United States. By extrapolation, it is still early in the morning and people have just woken up.

But Twitter is extremely busy. Almost every time it is refreshed, there will be new changes on the trending list. Sometimes it is a certain place, sometimes it is a person's name, and sometimes it is the words "execute justice."But no matter how it changes, it is still closely surrounding this topic.

At least on Little Bluebird, the call to “let Weinstein be investigated” is growing louder.Of course, there are also a small number of people who are skeptical about this. After all, the other party is Weinstein. He has 90 statuettes directly or indirectly related to him. His Weinstein Pictures is also a literary and artistic production company. The largest one in the country.

"Let's go out and take a look. Do you want to come with us?" Charlie stood up from his seat and looked at Jetta beside him.

"Okay." Jetta did not refuse and stood up.

The tour guide at the side hurriedly followed the two of them. He was a personal tour guide hired by Charlie, and his job today and tomorrow was to take Charlie around Budapest.

Leaning on the railing, the river surface shimmers under the sun, the white trickle brought by the cruise ship extends back dozens of feet, the breeze blows Charlie's hair, he closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, feeling refreshed.

There was no tension as expected, but instead, it was exceptionally calm.

"Look there." Jetta pointed to the dock not far away. A cargo ship as high as four or five stories was parked ten meters away from the shore. Several small boats were crossing back and forth, carrying materials on the big ship. Go to shore.

Charlie suddenly said: "Isn't it very similar to a young couple, coming and going, coming and going, inseparable, and relying on each other."

After hearing this, Jetta thought about it and gradually understood the meaning. He suddenly laughed a little and turned his head away.

"I didn't expect you quite understand romanticism." Her voice was heard, carried by the breeze, and gently touched Charlie's cheek.

The tour guide on the side saw this and immediately said:

"Speaking of which, Budapest is also a famous city of love. The famous "Love in Budapest" was born here. Under the lights at night, the Chain Bridge is quite romantic and beautiful. It is recommended that you two walk hand in hand. In addition, there is also the Fisherman, a must-see for couples. The castle, walking there is like entering a fairy tale world.”

City of Love?Why does it sound like it is specially used to fool women.Charlie thought so.

Jetta looked embarrassed and glanced at Charlie with her peripheral vision.But there was no change on his face.

·
When the two of them got off the boat with their tour guide and started walking along the famous Andrássy Street, Charlie turned his attention to his mobile phone again.

Statements from Weinstein himself and the Weinstein Films were released on multiple media channels.

The Weinstein Films has denied all accusations and called Charlie's actions premeditated defamation.

Weistein's personal words were harsher, not only implying that Artis and Charlie maintained an unusual relationship, but also pointing out that Charlie's motive was actually to help Artis reconcile.He will immediately launch a lawsuit against Charlie, and add the sentence "Never compromise to the darkness" at the end.

It can be said to be a very standard crisis public relations format.

Charlie hasn't made any moves yet, waiting for a potential call.

About half an hour later, the call actually came.But the person who called was somewhat beyond Charlie's expectations.

It's FBL Claire.

"You are so bold. This time you have stirred up a huge hornet's nest." Claire's voice was relaxed and slightly teasing.

"But bees are afraid of fire." Charlie said.

Don’t do bad things, don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.If you do something wrong, don't blame ghosts for coming to you.

"Oh, it sounds like you are going to do something big. I can only say that the people behind Weinstein have targeted you, and even I have received the news. You are burying yourself. What do you do before burying yourself? Everything, stop it. I can guarantee your safety."

"Then quit the company and concentrate on working for you? I know what you are thinking, Claire. You have to know that there is no possibility of taking back the bow and arrow that is thrown."

"No matter what, as long as you don't mention us, you can save your life. This is my last advice." Claire reminded.

After hanging up the phone, it was another unfamiliar number.

"Hello, Mr. Charlie, I am the Attorney General of Los Angeles, McKinson. We have seen the news you posted on the Internet, and we are paying close attention to this matter, but we also noticed that you chose to go there yesterday. Hungary, what do you seem to be afraid of?" The other party expressed concern and his tone was very calm.What they talked about was weird.

"I'm afraid that someone will do something bad to me, especially someone under the guise of a Los Angeles prosecutor." Charlie sneered.

"You can pay attention to this number, which is enough to prove my identity. If you do this, not only will we not be able to help you, it will even make things more confusing."

"So what should I do?"

"Come back and provide the evidence you know, we are responsible for arresting people." The other party said directly.

Haha, this one is not as good as Claire.

"So, you don't even ask me what evidence I have?" Charlie pointed it out directly.

The other party took a deep breath: "Sir, we are here to help you. We can't interfere if you are like this."

"Mr. McKinson, if you have no other constructive suggestions, you can hang up now. I will call you back when I need you."

The third caller was Spielberg. He had vowed to stand on Charlie's side, but he didn't expect to give up so quickly.

Without any unnecessary pleasantries, he said as soon as he came up: "Hey, friend, stop it. I also hope that Weinstein will be finished, but... not this way."

"You didn't say that at the beginning."

Spielberg lowered his voice: "The executives of Universal and Paramount just called. Weinstein is just an errand boy on the surface, and the Cox family is behind it."

The Cox family, I seem to have heard this name somewhere.Charlie's thoughts returned to a month ago, to Hugh Hefner's mansion...
