Chapter 299 Stink
An open-air bar downstairs at the Manhattan Hotel.
Mr. Xiao Lin went back to catch up on his sleep, while Liu Mingyang went to the embassy and consulate in New York.
White got out of the car and hurriedly left his wife behind and ran away.
Only Jiang Hanwen and the other two were left drinking in the pub. It was obvious that neither Jiang Hanwen nor Gatsby were experienced drinkers.
Jenny seemed familiar with the place and started chatting with the handsome bartender who was mixing cocktails.
“Mr. Jiang, I really want to ask you to make a movie, not just because Jenny is your fan.”
When Gatsby started talking about business, he immediately seemed at ease, and his eyes were full of the shrewdness of a Wall Street capitalist.
"I've seen your works. Whether as a director or an actor, your level is not inferior to those big Hollywood directors. Besides, the market for crime films is not bad right now."
Gatsby seemed to be quite knowledgeable about the film market, and he started talking without waiting for Jiang Hanwen to respond.
"In recent years, major studios have been obsessed with superhero movies, and audiences have become aesthetically fatigued. I think there is a big market for shooting crime films now."
"But don't worry, I won't make B-level movies. Those things are not presentable. Besides, I am not short of money. I don't want to make a movie with less than hundreds of millions of dollars. Just imagine, a movie with blood, violence, LGBT, sex crimes, racial hatred, and even the East-West Civil War."
Gatsby's voice gradually rose, and his expression became a little crazy, as if he was immersed in the virtual movie world he had created and couldn't extricate himself.
Jiang Hanwen looked at Leo from this parallel world who was sitting opposite him as if he was an idiot.
What a handsome guy, handsome and rich, but it's a pity that his brain is not very good and he is eager to be a bootlicker.
The key point is that the movie this guy wants to make has such explosive content that it probably won’t pass review in America.
"Stop, stop, stop, Mr. Gatsby. I can't take this job. I'm very interested in making a prequel to Hannibal. But this is about LGBT, racial hatred, and civil war. I'm afraid I can't go back after I finish filming it."
Jiang Hanwen waved his hands repeatedly. He was now very sure that this guy's brain circuit was definitely different from that of ordinary people.
Otherwise, I wouldn't want to make a film that is sure to lose money.
"Let's talk about something else, like you and Mrs. White."
Jiang Hanwen brought a bottle of beer to Gatsby and glanced at the blonde woman who was chatting and laughing with the bartender at the bar.
To be honest, Jiang Hanwen really admires these two bastards. No matter whether it is White or Gatsby, they are indeed not ordinary people to be so bold.
"Mr. Jiang, I know that Jenny is a woman who enjoys material enjoyment to the extreme. She was born in an era where money counts, and her voice is full of the taste of money."
"But Jenny was the first girl I ever dated. She was from a wealthy family, and there was always an invisible wire fence between us. I could only talk about love with Jenny under all kinds of false pretenses, making Jenny feel that I came from a suitable social class."
"Jenny is beautiful, and Jenny's home is even more beautiful in his eyes. It is so beautiful that it is unfathomable and has strong barriers. I dare not breathe when I am in it."
"Oh, but I had the blood of youth, and I took her on a quiet October night, knowing full well that I was too poor to have any real right to touch her hand."
"This made me realize the great charm and mystery of wealth. Jenny, just because her family was rich, would be as glittering as silver, standing high above the fiery struggles of the poor, safe and proud."
"I can't tell you how surprised I was when I found out I was in love with Jenny, Mr. Jiang. For a while I even hoped she'd dump me, but she didn't, because she fell in love with me, too. She fell in love with me because I knew everything, but it was just that I knew things she didn't know... Oh, I fell into this state, all kinds of ambitions and plans were thrown out of my mind, and I fell deeper and deeper in love every moment, and suddenly I didn't care about anything."
"But such good days are always short-lived. Things changed too quickly and I didn't have time to react."
Gatsby curled his lips and said, "But I never blame her. At that time, I was still a poor boy, and she was the daughter of a rich family. She was beautiful, the most beautiful girl in town. She had countless suitors, but she still gave me all her love without hesitation."
"I saved up money for half a year and bought her a string of pearls. She loved it and wore it every day."
"Is it the one she's wearing around her neck now?"
Jiang Hanwen asked with interest. He was very familiar with this story, but when he really faced the protagonist in the story, he still found it extremely absurd.
What White said was right. This youngest and most handsome rich man on Wall Street, with a height of 1.9 meters, strong muscles, blond hair and blue eyes, and impeccable manners and conversation, could have hundreds of girls climbing into his bed as long as he wanted and just made a gesture.
But what about now? The goddess in his heart, the sacred and inviolable Bai Yueguang, was flirting with an inexplicable bartender in front of him.
While chatting and laughing, she even pulled down the straps of her dress, revealing her fair shoulders. Jiang Hanwen had no doubt that if Gatsby was not here, this woman would have rushed into the bathroom to have an affair with the young bartender.
"Haha, of course not. The pearl necklace I gave her back then was only over 370 dollars. The one she's wearing around her neck now is a specially customized piece from Cartier, which cost million dollars."
"It doesn't matter. For people like me and White, money has never been an issue."
Gatsby shook his head, his eyes slightly red.
"White, White showed up later and easily convinced Jenny's mother with a large flat in Manhattan. Jenny didn't want to marry him, so her mother locked her in the attic."
"I climbed up the tree and saw from a distance that she was arguing fiercely with her mother. The necklace was torn apart."
"She knelt on the ground and picked up the pearls one by one, but she couldn't put them all together. I saw it all from the tree, but I didn't have the courage to see him, so I ran away."
"The White family is an aristocratic family in Washington. For generations, they have been important figures in the military-industrial complex. Naturally, they are not short of money."
"On the wedding day, New York was packed with people, hundreds of VIPs boarded luxury cruise ships, and he booked the entire Manhattan Hotel. The wedding cost a total of 30 million US dollars."
"I hid in the crowd and saw Jenny in a pure white wedding dress. She was as beautiful as a saint. Countless lights surrounded her and I saw the joy in her eyes."
The man's voice gradually became weaker. He seemed so humble, just like all the poor boys who yearned for true love, and did not dare to face the fear in his heart.
"I'm curious, how did you go from being an Ohio farmer to a top player on Wall Street in just ten years?"
Jiang Hanwen's emotional experience is almost blank, and he is even more stupid than Gatsby when it comes to love.
Compared to love, he was more curious about how this poor boy Gatsby made his fortune. He never believed in such nonsense as the stock god.
There has never been a stock god in this world. Without any vested interests, no matter how smart you are, it will be useless.
"Get rich?"
Gatsby opened his beer and looked listless.
"He's just a lucky guy. There's nothing magical about it. Just think about it. A young man who doesn't want to be a farmer runs to the financial capital. The only thing he can rely on is his brain."
"I'm good at arithmetic and have a good memory. The most important thing is that I'm trustworthy. You know, what the rich people need most is a financial manager like me."
"I met an old man named Charlie Munger. He was quite famous, but he was too old to handle many investments. After I took over, I helped him make a lot of money very quickly."
"I have been in the ostentatious world of New York for five years, and have figured out the way to rise up. I was drafted into the army for two years and got my way in the military. After I was discharged, I used every identity I could, under Charlie's guidance~~~"
"Haha, that's the whole thing. They skirt the law, take advantage of others, occupy land illegally, plunder resources, and finally become successful people with a lot of money." "Doesn't that sound boring?"
Gatsby showed his signature shy smile again. How on earth could this guy make these brutal and bloody business struggles sound so bland and boring?
"Just from the perspective of class leap, your experience is remarkable."
Jiang Hanwen did not deny the ability of this young rich man. All that he said could not be achieved by luck alone.
"Mr. Jiang, you don't understand. Wealth doesn't mean much to me."
Gatsby held the bottle to his mouth and drank the whole bottle in one gulp.
"I won the whole world just to stand in front of her again."
"Hiccup~~"
Gatsby's face was already red, and it was obvious that this guy had a very poor alcohol tolerance.
"She became a slut who could be slept with by anyone. She needed endless love, but got nothing. Every day, all she could think about was brand-name luxury goods, alcohol, marijuana, and all kinds of men to fill her empty heart."
Gatsby spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.
"It's already like this? What can I do? Do I have any choice?"
"On the last afternoon before I left town, I held Jenny and sat for a long time. We didn't speak, but silence was more powerful than words. In the yard in late autumn, we lit a bonfire made of fallen leaves and branches. Jenny's cheeks were rosy. I held her and changed the position of my arms from time to time."
"He married White, and I couldn't sleep all night for half a month. I realized that I was a waste."
Gatsby suddenly became excited, roaring loudly, his eyes bloodshot.
He waved the bottle and shouted again and again
"I'm a waste! Waste! Waste!!"
The blonde woman at the bar finally noticed the situation of her lover.
She reached out and ruffled the young bartender's fluffy hair, then walked over to her lover with graceful steps.
She held him in her arms skillfully.
Pressing her plump breasts tightly against the man's face.
"Honey, you're drunk. I told you not to drink."
The woman whispered softly, and her slender fingers kept stroking the man's zc.
"Mr. Jiang is a distinguished guest. You must not be disrespectful in front of him."
The woman smiled sweetly~~
I have to say, she is really pretty, with all the advantages that a typical blonde beauty has.
There was still a girl's innocence in her eyes.
Although this sounds ridiculous, it is true.
Even an expert like Jiang Hanwen, who has been in the entertainment industry for most of his life and has seen countless beauties, has to admit that this blonde woman is a godsend.
The woman's voice seemed to cast a spell.
Gatsby, who seemed crazy just now, suddenly became docile. He stared at the woman stupidly, and the tenderness in his eyes almost dripped with tears.
Jiang Hanwen is really unbearable to watch. This seemingly perfect match of golden boy and jade girl has an overly melodramatic story, and their current situation is even more melodramatic.
No wonder Xiao Lin was unwilling to deal with these two guys and went back to sleep early.
Considering Lin Leqing's conservative nature, serious emotional cleanliness, and even some of the ancient chastity traditions of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, a woman like Jenny should be physically eliminated.
Jiang Hanwen thought about it.
These girls I know, whether it is Ms. Xiaolin, Zhou Nana, or that silly Wang Xiaolu.
No matter how open they look on the outside, even a bad movie goddess like Zhou Nana takes the sexy route.
They are absolutely conservative in relationships, and pure love warriors are the ones who are.
However, Jiang Hanwen is not good at these things. The only thing he can be sure of now is Mr. Kobayashi.
The reason is very simple. Mr. Kobayashi's appearance is good enough, and for a person who has always been lazy, an all-round player like Lin Leqing can completely free up Jiang Hanwen's brain and he doesn't have to rack his brains to think about how to communicate. It's very easy.
Even in terms of her worldview, this girl is very positive and there is nothing wrong with her.
Although it's a bit strong, look at this pair of perverted and creepy man and woman in front of you.
For the first time, Jiang Hanwen felt extremely happy.
There's no way, this kind of thing is afraid of comparison.
"Hiccup~~"
Gatsby burped several times and finally came to his senses.
Although Jiang Hanwen didn't believe at all that this bastard was drunk.
Seeing how Jenny calculated so skillfully, plus the position of his hands.
Jiang Hanwen had reason to suspect that this was just some special "game" that the two people often played.
It hurts the eyes.
Jiang Hanwen shook his head and stood up to say goodbye.
His original plan was to give this young pure love warrior a little advice.
Looking at this journey, whether it is Burton, White, or the ultimate evil BOSS, each and every one of these people is the worst of the bad.
Relatively speaking, Gatsby, the new capitalist, appears to be much kinder.
Jiang Hanwen thought that he would help as much as possible to prevent this guy from dying in vain.
Now he has given up the idea.
Good words cannot persuade a damned man. He deserves to die at the hands of this woman in the way he is now.
