Chapter 2019

If it's because of Sisyphus pictures and hall venture capital, then a lot of things make sense. For George hall, it's a golden opportunity. He hasn't had such a big project client so far. He is in charge of managing the trust funds of rich families at the Bank of Barclays

On the one hand, he can inject capital into hall venture capital, win high returns through this investment, and then open up his career situation; On the other hand, through Sisyphus film, he can make the British upper class connect with Hollywood, and even "win" the opportunity of close contact with Langley, which is undoubtedly very attractive to the young generation of nobles, elites and political and business celebrities.

That's enough to put George and Elizabeth down.

What's more, it's just a blank postcard, which means it's a test. At least they can test the attitude and reaction of Lan Li, and then make a decision.

The more Arthur thought about it, the more reasonable he felt. He raised his hands and rubbed his cheek. "God, their masks are uglier than I thought. In the past, we used to use me to establish a social circle. That's OK. We can be regarded as mutually beneficial. We use each other, at least not too dirty. But what's the matter with lanli? How can they do that? "

"Arthur, what are you talking about? What happened to hall VC? " Edith knew little about economy and management. For a moment and a half, she couldn't connect them. So she knocked the coffee table with her bow and asked Arthur to explain.

"In short, the benefits that lanli can leverage are huge enough to make them move‘ Star Trek box office numbers have you seen the news‘ The times said that investing one dollar in Langley can earn more than one thousand dollars. This is only an estimate, but that's what it means. "

Arthur babbled and explained, linking Sisyphus pictures, hall venture capital, Don Quixote channel and so on, and sketching out a grand blueprint. Edith gradually understood that although it was really inappropriate to describe her parents like this, only the word "brazen" flickered in Edith's mind now.

Arthur probably won't object, but Arthur still habitually holding cello, the bookish appearance and the content of the speech seem out of place. That appearance fell in Lan Li's eyes, he couldn't help but show a smile.

"Lan Li, is that true?" Edith turned her head and looked at lanli, but found that lanli was in a relaxed mood with a smile on the corner of her mouth, which made Edith stamp her foot in chagrin, "lanli! We are worried about you now. What's the matter with your expression? "

"I'm just thinking that there are still a lot of things that have changed since I was a child." Blue Li is still that pair of not slow appearance, slowly said.

What remains unchanged is that the performances of Edith and Arthur still have no progress; What has changed is that the brothers and sisters who used to keep a distance are getting closer. Now Edith and Arthur, they are the real family of Langley. Some people are worried and some people care about them. That kind of feeling is very good.

But Edith, looking at Langley's calm appearance, didn't have a temper. "Hey! We are serious, and you'd better be serious! From before to now, the same is, you are still so annoying! It's like a thorn in the butt. "

"Thank you Lanli not only didn't get angry, but also took over the conversation. Her complacent appearance was too much to beat. Edith stood in the same place and began to grind her teeth: should she beat him? You should beat him!

Lan Li pursed the corners of his mouth, seemed to be aware of Edith's intention, and said with a smile, "now is a good time. I've been sick for such a long time. After I miss it, I don't know when it is. How about it? Do you want to consider starting now?"

Is Langley inviting Edith to attack?

Edith turned to see Arthur, and then he could see that Arthur kept saying no with his eyes: never be cheated by the angel mask of Langley, the devil is the devil, and most of them haven't changed since childhood, OK?

Edith widened her eyes, blinked and protested: if it wasn't for today, it might never have a chance. Are you sure you don't want to vent your anger today?

Arthur retracted his jaw, showing an expression of surprise: what are you going to do? He's sick!

Edith pursed the corners of her mouth and shrugged to strengthen her meaning: don't worry, I'm only going to take off one of his hands. It won't be too heavy.

Langley was sitting at the piano, quietly watching Edith and Arthur winking at each other. The radian of his mouth could not help rising - in fact, he enjoyed the time.

In the last life, he was an only child. He grew up alone, and because of his mother's great plan, he didn't even have many friends; In this life, although he is no longer an only child, the relationship between them is so thin that it can be ignored. He once thought that he might not be related to his family in his life. Matthew, Andre and Paul are the best friends to rely on. But now it seems that time can change some things.

Of the same breath and branches, Arthur and Edith make complaints about their feelings.

Originally, Langley's mood was slightly depressed because of Elizabeth's blank postcard. He clearly understood what this postcard meant. Other people saw Langley's glory and glory, but George and Elizabeth only saw the benefits brought by those auras - his father and mother. He would not be sad or painful, Just a little sigh, that's all.

There is a gap between the virtual space and the real world. Similarly, there is a gap between the life of Hollywood spotlight and the life outside the spotlight.

Now, that low mood gradually became clear again, because of Arthur and Edith - this is his brother and sister. There are always gains and losses in life. There is no need to embarrass yourself because of the gains and losses for a while. You can always find your own sunshine in the corner of life, can't you?

"Lan Li?" Edith noticed the slightly absent-minded lanli - sure enough, the effect of illness was still very obvious, and the efficiency of concentration was also reduced.

This kind of lanli is rare from childhood. In the past, lanli always hid his vulnerability well. Only Matthew's friends could see it, but they could never know it; Of course, they also refuse to show their weaknesses to their families.

This is really a kind of irony: the family, which should have been a safe harbor to contain themselves, protect themselves and support themselves, has evolved into an empty and boring nothingness, so cold that people just want to escape. They've known each other all their lives, but they don't really start to know each other until now.

Blue Li raised his eyes, smiling to meet the eyes of Edith and Arthur, "I just said, I don't know when to miss this opportunity, are you sure you don't clench your fist?"

Edith turned a big white eye and make complaints about blue gift. "What I am concerned about now is why would mother send you blank postcards? Is it really because of hall and Sisyphus? Please stay focused. We're talking business. Can you be professional? "

Lan Li nodded with a smile, "yes, it's not."

"Langley Sebastian hall!" Edith could hear her teeth grinding.

"I'd like to say that you underestimated them. If they can take the lead in breaking the deadlock, Sisyphus pictures and hall VCs are really important drivers, but they still don't have enough weight. They need more chips. Edith, they're more greedy than you think. Or to put it another way, they are smarter than you think

At the end of the speech, Langley looks at Arthur, who has worked with George and Elizabeth for many years before. Arthur really knows nothing more about the ability and strength of his parents.

Arthur thought about it carefully. He thought hall venture capital was enough. But seriously, hall venture capital was just established and has no profit yet. This cake looks beautiful, but it's not sure how it tastes. It's not enough to make George and Elizabeth bow to Langley.

But Arthur captured a detail: "does father know about the postcard?"

Before that, Arthur had guessed that Elizabeth's postcard was probably known by George, and Arthur had expanded his ideas along this line of thinking, but after all, the idea was just an idea, and suddenly realized the authenticity, which made Arthur's vocal cords not tighten slightly, and the meaning was different after all.

Langley raised his eyebrows and didn't deny it. Arthur and Edith exchanged their eyes again: if Elizabeth's Postcard represents Mr. and Mrs. hall, then the meaning is completely different. Even if George didn't sign it, it also means that it was the decision of the hall family. Does the hall family really want to "recruit" Langley?

So, is George willing to put down his position just because of Sisyphus pictures and hall venture capital?

Just after analysis, he thought it was reasonable, but now Arthur began to question his judgment, because this step was too sudden and exaggerated. When it really happened, he still needed a little time to digest it, and he always felt it was not true.

"The queen sent me an official letter asking if I would accept the title. When I was in London promoting the film, Philip sent the letter to notting hill; When I arrived in Honolulu, Elizabeth's Postcard arrived. Philip wrote to tell me that Elizabeth sent it in front of George

Lanli gave the answer, and the understatement was so simple that the intensity of the content created a strong contrast, so that Arthur and Edith were stunned.
