Chapter 206 Goddess Audrey Plan

"Sorry, I have something very important to consider, and I have to make a few phone calls. You go back to entertain the guests first. If the party is not over when I come back, you can introduce me to it, otherwise it will be next time."

"Very important?"

"Yes."

"Okay, hurry up." Hepburn's face was slightly unhappy.

"uh-huh."

Xian Yaowen came downstairs and walked into Zhu Ji diagonally across the street.

The old boss who was wiping the table glanced at him, then at Qi Longque behind him, and said, "Have you eaten yet?"

Xian Yaowen was stunned by the boss's question. He actually didn't ask what he wanted to eat. He asked if he had eaten before. What's the cut on Juelu Street?

"I haven't eaten yet. Let me wash two pieces of clothes here first, and then go next door to have a plate of rice."

When the boss heard this, he burst out laughing, "You, this young boy, are a bit interesting, what do you want to eat?"

"Sorry, we're actually not hungry. We just want to find a place to sit. Boss, can you bring a pot of tea? You can open a few more seats."

"Young man looks down on me. How dare you charge for a pot of tea, let alone open a few more seats? Sit down and I'll make the tea." The boss said, turning around and walking to the kitchen.

Knowing about the tea fee that only became popular in Yangcheng during the Northern Expedition, it means that this boss has been around for at least twenty years, or has deep connections with the country.

After subconscious analysis, Xian Yaowen sat down nearby and waited for the boss to serve tea.

After a while, the boss came over with a pot of tea and three cups in his hand, "Do you mind if I, an old man, set the stage?"

"The guest does as the host does."

The boss chuckled lightly and sat down, placing cups and pouring tea for everyone.

"I haven't heard the Xinxiang accent in many years. In the past two years, the people in the UK have been Hong Kong people. I can't understand what they say. Young kid, just here? Where do you live?"

"Boss, why didn't you guess that I was born here?"

"I'm not old-sighted yet. Irish whores can't give birth to a handsome young man like you."

"Tsk." Xian Yaowen heard this as a curse, but he couldn't provide any evidence, so he could only ignore it, "I am the Waitou guy you mentioned, boss. I am not a Hong Konger, but I am from Hong Kong. I just came here to do business. , not settlement.”

"You arrived in Hong Kong last year?"

"Correct."

The boss suddenly showed a nostalgic look on his face, "I went out and never returned to Tangshan. I miss home. Young boy, please tell me something about your family."

"This pot of tea is really expensive."

Xian Yaowen murmured in his heart and told his boss about the current food in Guangfu, hoping that if he could describe "mother's taste", he would be relieved.

"There is a dish called Crispy Glutinous Rice Chicken. The preparation involves peeling off the skin of the whole chicken. The thin chicken skin must be kept intact, which is a test of the chef's knife skills. There is also a dish called 'Green Willow Silk', which has a full name. It is poetic and picturesque. It uses the outermost skirt of an adult giant turtle and threads it together with the deboned turtle meat. It also requires very high knife skills. The side dish Ge Zha pays attention to the skill of boiling the seafood soup and the heat of frying. Too much food.

The chef over in Macau invented a partridge porridge. It’s called porridge, but there’s actually no grain of rice in it. It’s made from partridge bones and meat, cooked together with yam paste and bird’s nest. It’s a Kung Fu dish..."

Seeing that the boss had no reaction to the big dishes, Xian Yaowen talked about snacks, "My wife has a friend who can make a stir-fried milk dish, stir it with egg white and fresh buffalo milk, add shrimps and shredded roast duck, fry it with good oil, and serve it on a plate Then sprinkle with fried terminalia seeds, you can eat it with chopsticks or scoop it up with a spoon, it’s delicious.”

"Buffalo milk, buffalo milk..." The boss muttered twice, with a smile on his lips, "Young boy, have you ever eaten double-skinned milk?"

"I've heard of it, but I've never eaten it."

"Double-skin milk, good food, good food." In an instant, tears fell from the boss's eyes. "Before I went out, my mother made me a bowl of double-skin milk. I accidentally dropped it and it fell on the ground. I scooped the chicken shit bit by bit with my hands and ate it. That was the first time I had double-skinned milk, and it was also the last time."

As he said this, the boss shed tears as if he didn't want money.

"Is the chicken poop dry or diarrhea... My mother is old and no longer around... She is so full of emotions. It seems that she has not suffered from the sins of marriage. She is an old bachelor..."

With various thoughts floating in his mind, Xian Yaowen lit a cigar and quietly watched his boss release his long-suppressed homesickness.

At this time, there is no need to comfort, just to accompany you.

The tears of a fifty-year-old man are like the urine of an eighteen-year-old boy, flowing down like a stream, and the tears of a thirty-eight-year-old wife are like the tears of a thirty-eight-year-old wife.

Within the 400-meter world record time, the boss stopped crying. He took out a pack of 555 cigarettes, shook out one and held it in his mouth. He also took out a fire cigarette, pulled out the folding cap, blew two breaths, and lit the cigarette. .

Foreign cigarettes and fire cigarettes are really an awkward combination.

The boss took a few puffs of cigarette and said, "Sorry, young man, I made you laugh."

"Uncle, don't worry too much. It's normal to be homesick."

The boss nodded noncommittally, "Young man, come over for dinner tonight and I'll cook some of my specialty dishes."

"Uncle, I'm not trying to refute your face. I may not be able to come over tonight. I'm here to check out my good fortune. Where to eat depends on her wishes." Xian Yaowen said apologetically.

The boss smiled and said: "Are you a good friend or a girl friend?"

"My girlfriend is a ghost."

"Since you want to accompany your girlfriend, I won't force you to do so. I'll definitely come in and sit down when you come over some other time."

"Definitely come."

Then, with one question and one answer, Xian Yaowen acted as a search engine for a while. He was not relieved until customers came to the store.

After reading quietly for a while, around 4:30, Hepburn came over.

The two changed places and sat in the "Quo Vadis" Italian restaurant on Dean Street.

"Adam, you didn't tell the truth. You're not in a hurry. You don't want to meet my friends. Am I right?" Hepburn asked as soon as he sat down.

"Yes, I lied."

"why?"

"Do you know the Arab marriage system?"

"Can a man have four wives?"

"Yes. In fact, Hong Kong's marriage system is more relaxed. A man can marry seven wives."

Hepburn's expression changed, "You want to tell me that you already have a wife?"

"Yes."

"Before you met me?" Hepburn asked with a cold face.

"No. Not long after I returned to Hong Kong from London last time, I found a lover. It may be different from what you think. This lover didn't hide underground and didn't make it public. Instead, he lived in my house openly. Apart from the fact that there was no formal engagement, No different than my wife.

Not long ago, I found a wife. Because I was too busy at work, the wedding has not yet been held, but she is already living with me. So, I have two wives now. "

"Why didn't you mention it in your letter to me?" "I wanted to tell you face to face."

"What about after you tell me? Are you breaking up with me or do you want me to become one-seventh?" Hepburn's eyes became moist.

Xian Yaowen lit the half-burned cigar and said in a calm tone: "Before going to New York, I went to Tokyo, where I met a woman who became my lover. After Tokyo, I went to Singapore, where I had a Got a new fiancée.

in New York……"

Xian Yaowen spread his hands, "I was not idle, I had a relationship with a woman, it was just a few days, and then we became friends. If I were not too busy at work, there should be a second, third, maybe more .

I'm sorry that I didn't remain faithful to you in love. "

Hepburn wiped her eyes and sobbed: "Do you want to defend?"

Xian Yaowen shook his head, "I don't go into the house to meet your friends because I don't want to cause trouble to you. Audrey, I like you, but I don't want to lie to you. You are not one-seventh. The denominator may be two of seven." Times, times, times, you will never get the loyalty of love from me.”

"Do you need me to say thank you?" Hepburn scoffed: "Thank you for your candor."

"Audrey, there is a glass of wine and a glass of water in front of you. You can pick them up and throw them all in my face."

"No." Hepburn shook her little head, "During the time we were apart, I didn't have your colorful experiences, but I betrayed you mentally, Adam. I have feelings for James, especially when I feel When I am lonely, I need someone to be by my side. You are too far away from me and I can't feel your warmth."

"Sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't have flirted with you in the first place."

"Adam, you don't have to say sorry, I owe you a lot..." Hepburn swallowed some words and just said: "I will move out as soon as possible."

Xian Yaowen held Hepburn's hand, "You can move anywhere you want, but I hope you will keep the key and return it to me one day when you really don't need it. The house has nothing to do with love, only friendship, and there is no love." , we are still friends.”

"friend?"

"Yes. Are you free tomorrow morning?"

"Have."

"At ten o'clock, I will wait for you downstairs. We will have breakfast together and talk about some topics between friends. Today, facing me may make you lose your appetite. You eat slowly and I will leave first."

Xian Yaowen put down 20 pounds on the table, made a goodbye gesture to Hepburn, stood up and left calmly.

Half an hour later, he was sitting in another restaurant called Rules, tasting the wild meat dishes captured from the private forest while gossiping about Chaplin and Pauline Gaudé, who were sitting at another table. His ex-husband and his ex-wife were sitting at the table. I don’t know what Oona O’Neill feels about the restaurant more than five thousand miles away in Los Angeles.

There are not many British restaurants that can make people feel the beauty of delicious food. Rules is a good restaurant that can prevent people from beating British food to death with a stick. Xian Yaowen ate very happily, without the pain of having just lost his love.

There is no point in losing when you are not in love. When it comes to love, he has always been heartless. No woman can penetrate into the deepest part of his heart and like her. He does not understand love. He has never seen or touched it. Never smelled it.

To be honest, his love for Hepburn was based on a filter. What he liked was the Hepburn who had decades of time and experience, but had a twenty-year-old face and transcended time and space.

When breaking up, she stuck herself in the position of an asshole instead of occupying the moral high ground. It had less to do with liking and more to do with pity. She was already a woman suffering from starvation and malnutrition, and she really couldn't bear to bully others too much.

Otherwise, he would wait until she had an affair with Hansen before showing up.

Of course, this is the most affordable way based on profit considerations, but after all, he is not hard-hearted and cannot operate like a real profit machine.

This is fine now, it depends on whether I can successfully switch from love to friendship tomorrow.

There was no activity in the evening, so I went back to the hotel early to have a good night's sleep.

The next day.

At nine forty-five, Xian Yaowen was already waiting downstairs at Hepburn.

At 10:25, Hepburn appeared in front of him five minutes early, wearing a white sleeveless shirt, colorful capri pants, and a pair of flat ballet shoes on her feet. She looked very energetic and could not notice the excessive energy. Much bitterness.

"You look good in this outfit. Also, thank you for coming downstairs early."

Hepburn chuckled and said: "I guess your watch is inaccurate. You are not mocking me."

Xian Yaowen shrugged, "A girl who is half an hour late is not considered late. Please keep it up."

"Thank you, where are you going?"

"You decide." Xian Yaowen pointed to the taxi waiting on the roadside, "I will accompany you to the end of the world."

"I like this line. If you had said it yesterday, maybe everything would have changed."

Xian Yaowen was a little annoyed by Hepburn's indifference, which was quite contradictory. He didn't want to see Hepburn cry, but being too indifferent made him feel like a failure.

"Maybe."

Xian Yaowen walked to the rear door, opened the door and respectfully asked Hepburn to get in the car.

Hepburn did not choose to go to the restaurant, but bought two cups of British breakfast tea, and then came to Waterloo Bridge, known as the Women's Bridge.

Stand west and face east, overlooking Canary Wharf.

"What are your career plans?"

"Continue to act in stage plays and look for opportunities to act in movies."

"I have launched a magazine in New York and will establish good relationships with some Hollywood figures in the near future. I am cooperating with a theater company in Hong Kong, and my partner knows Arthur Lang of Rank Films. Mr. Ke, she said the relationship is not bad, can you understand what I want to say?"

"Can you recommend me to a Hollywood film crew?"

"Yes, maybe half a year, maybe a year, I will be able to help you pave the way in the film industry. If you are willing to accept it, I will ask someone to come over and sign an agency contract with you, protect you through the fledgling stage, and wait until you can flap your wings. Gao Fei, stay or go as you wish."

Hepburn's eyes were shining brightly, "Adam, I said you don't owe me anything, you don't have to do this."

Xian Yaowen chuckled, "You misunderstood, this is not compensation, it is just a business. I also have a clothing company in Hong Kong. One of the products is the bra you women need. The brand is a secret. As long as you are willing, I will Launch a sub-brand 'Secret - Audrey Goddess Series'. I want to bet that you will become a famous movie star around the world and use your fame to promote this brand.

Of course, you will become one of the shareholders of this sub-brand, and you will receive a certain share of every product sold. "

Hepburn smiled like a flower, "You have so much confidence in me?"

"Why not? Are you still feeling inferior?"

"No, I feel like I'm getting more and more confident, but I don't dare to think about what you said."

"You can definitely think about it, especially if I, the person who takes all the risks, have full confidence in you." Xian Yaowen pinched both sides of Hepburn's arms, "Audrey, I am a person who makes a very clear distinction between business and private life. , please believe that I am discussing business with you, nothing else."

"you sure?"

Hepburn always felt that Xian Yaowen was helping her. From the beginning, he helped her get rid of her inferiority complex, gave her a coat, and solved her housing problem. Now he wants to pave the way for her. It is hard for her to believe that this is business and not to help her.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure I want to get a good return on my investment in you."

Hepburn stared at Xian Yaowen's face for a long time, and then said with disbelief: "Okay, let's talk business."

"OK, you have to listen carefully to every word I'm going to say next. You can imagine me as Naklawi (the sea-horse, the legendary monster in Ireland), and always be wary that I will eat you, because every sentence It's all related to your interests. If you don't understand, just ask me and I will explain it to you."

Hepburn nodded, "I remember, you can start."
