Chapter 2108

"Lan Li, if you put aside those considerations and have the potential for the future, what is the result of your inclination?" Eaton's question made Andre and Matthew's eyes project, both showing curiosity - although he had just said so much, Langley did not really express his point of view.

Blue Li's eyebrow tail lightly a Yang.

Eaton had to add, "I mean, you always have a preset direction in future negotiations, and then work in that direction. As Matthew said, if you are worried that Sisyphus will become a platform for Roman to legalize his wealth, then we should avoid him as much as possible, right? Now that you're willing to negotiate, that means you're looking forward to working with Roman? "

This is a point of view.

Lan Li thought for a moment, "yes." In this way, he readily admitted, "although there are many risks, there are countless potential difficulties. But objectively speaking, I have a good impression of Roman. If we can cooperate in the future, I don't think there is any problem. Most of all, Andre is right about one thing. He is a more suitable partner than Wall Street. "

Most of the problems in cooperation with Roman are objective; But there is also cooperation with wall street or other personal sources of funds, which is almost inevitable. So in those days, DreamWorks simply shut all sources of funds out. Now Sisyphus pictures tries to open a window, but no one knows whether it is a partner or an enemy who comes in through this window.

Compared with Wall Street, Roman's friendship can become an advantage.

Andre raised his jaw towards Matthew, showing off a little complacently, only to find that Matthew didn't care at all, and still focused on his own thoughts, which made Andre a little depressed, but he didn't say much after all.

"Andre, ask Arthur how Roman came to the auction and why Alexander suddenly thought of sending him an invitation. In addition, let's see which movie industry people Roman has contacted in the past few months. Although Roman took the initiative to come to us, we should at least know how all this happened. Otherwise, we will not know if we become the bait in the trap or if we are shot by others. That's really terrible. "

Lanli still feels that he needs to be careful. Roman hopes to cooperate with Sisyphus film, which is a good thing, but sometimes he needs to be vigilant.

Matthew cast his eyes to blue Li: in fact, this is the core focus of his worry. Now it seems that blue Li is not confused, which is a good thing.

However, lanli raised the "times" in his hand and gave Matthew a smile. "How are you going to finish this issue of crossword puzzle with me?"

Matthew picked up his own black tea and cocked his legs, "if you don't have enough intelligence."

Eaton burst into laughter.

The light rain outside the window is still falling thinly, and London in late summer and early autumn has begun to be filled with the bleak of late autumn. The strong wind from all sides makes the whole city look solemn and lonely, and the vitality on the streets seems to be pulling into the windbreaker to resist the fury.

But the warmth and coziness of the room made people relax. It's rare to see that Lan Li and some friends enjoyed an idle afternoon: in the afternoon when the wind broke the dead branches, a cup of black tea and a piece of Madeleine Cake made the world warm again. In fact, life was very simple.

It's only five o'clock in the afternoon. It's hard to tell whether it's day or night outside. There's almost no light in the gray sky. The whole world is shrouded in darkness. The street lamps are gradually lit up, and the hazy halo supports a protective cover. It's like Hayao Miyazaki's movies are in reality, with a little comfort in the tranquility, People can't help but want to stop and watch the rain.

The black taxi slowly stops at the side of the street. Arthur sits in the back seat and looks at the two-story villa in front of him through the window. At a certain moment, he has the illusion of returning to Hall's mansion. It's solemn and solemn, heavy and deep, just like a giant animal dormant in the dark, which makes people have the impulse to turn around and run away. But then I realized that it was all misguided by dim light.

"Sir?" The taxi driver raised his voice and asked.

Arthur realized that he had been delayed for a long time. He took out fifty pounds and handed it to the driver. "Keep the change." Then he pushed the door open and went down.

Gee.

The heavy wooden gate was pushed open, and a dark black umbrella supported a small sky. It moved quickly like a floating mushroom. It walked along the stone path, through the green garden, and pushed open the carved iron gate. Then a low voice sounded in my ear, "master Arthur."

It's Philip.

Arthur's steps stopped again and again, and the illusion came back again, "well." He opened his mouth and didn't say anything after all.

Under the guidance of Philip, all the way into the room, Arthur took off his wet windbreaker coat, handed it to Philip, and stopped at the entrance just as he was about to start.

There is a faint fragrance in the air, mixed with a little oil smoke, but it is still full-bodied osmanthus fragrance, passing through the milky yellow halo, so that all the noise is quiet. Laughter comes from the room on the right side, full of blooming joy, But my mind can't help but follow the smell of lampblack and explore the past in front of the corridor. I can't help but wonder about the warmth hidden behind the lemon yellow halo.

"What's the matter?" Arthur didn't hold back after all. He turned and asked, "I mean, the smell?"

"Master Lan Li wants to eat Chinese food today. Now the cook is preparing. The fumes are a little strong. I'll tell her to pay attention immediately. " Philip answered dutifully.

"No, No." Arthur didn't understand, so he blurted out his veto, "I mean, if lenley likes it, that's it."

Vaguely, Arthur preferred the atmosphere.

"What happened?" Before the voice fell, a voice of inquiry came from the top of the stairs. Looking up, Arthur could see Edith yawning and rubbing her eyes.

Edith is wearing a simple T-shirt with sports shorts. Her messy hair is growing like weeds. It seems that she has not woken up yet.

"Nothing." Arthur replied subconsciously, "er... Are you jet lagged? Would you like to join us for dinner? " Originally, Arthur was going to ask about Turkey or the auction, but when his words came to his mouth, he was still a little stiff and returned to daily communication. However, even in daily communication, they would not ask like this, which was obviously more life-oriented.

"Well." Edith nodded. "I just woke up when I was hungry. What's in the kitchen? It smells really good. Is it Chinese food? I didn't expect the smell of fried vegetables to be so fragrant. It's much more fragrant than takeout. " Then Edith took a big stretch. "Now I feel at home."

Home.

Now Arthur finally understood what the strange feeling was like: was this the feeling of home? Although the appearance is similar, but the interior lighting contains different content, but cast a different home, belong to their own home.

Arthur was a little flustered, but he didn't get used to it, but the strange feeling was a little comfortable. After all, he didn't open his mouth. Finally, he left the porch and turned into the room on the right side. Then he saw four people playing crossword puzzle, "... Are you serious? "Crossword puzzle?"

Arthur didn't expect it himself, but he blurted out.

"Hey, be quiet!" It was Andre who said, "wait a minute. What's the name of the naughty elf picking flower juice in midsummer night?"

“Puck！” Matthew and Eaton said at the same time, and Langley looked at Andre with glee. "You don't remember your part in that St. Patrick's day drama! But it shouldn't be unexpected. It's definitely a disaster. "

Andre, of course, said, "that's because I'm not interested. Thank you."

Arthur stood speechless.

Lan Li looked up and said, "welcome home. It's hard today. How about coming over to relax? There's Sudoku on the sofa, I remember. Hey, Edith, come and have some afternoon tea. There's still a little time before dinner. Maybe you can have two Madeleine cakes to fill your stomach

"God, that's great. I think I can eat a whole cow now." Edith patted Arthur on the shoulder and went around Arthur's position. "This gentleman, don't get in the way. What about your manners?" While complaining, he went into the study, "what's up, what game are you playing?"

Arthur is stunned. He is the one who likes to play, but why can't he keep up with the rhythm now? His laziness and natural and unrestrained are only outside the residence. As long as he goes home, he must be armed and never dare to relax easily. But now he can't tell where it is.

At this time, Arthur had a chance to look at the room in front of him. It was obviously a study. The three walls were full of bookshelves, including the wall of the entrance gate. But there was a large French window on the wall. The window screen was pulled up, and the garden and street lights could be seen, The whole field of vision is broadened - even if it's cloudy outside, it doesn't matter.

Before he knew it, Arthur's shoulders relaxed.

Philip appeared behind him. "Master Arthur, what can I do for you?"

Arthur was slightly stunned, "... Philip, where am I now?" He knew his words were stupid, but the line between reality and illusion was completely blurred, and he needed to make sure.

"Home. Master Arthur, you are at home now. " Philip replied.

Arthur nodded in a dazed way. Finally he stepped forward and sat down beside Eaton. Eaton looked up from the newspaper and said, "do you need a cup of black tea? Arthur

"... OK." Arthur quietly relaxed his shoulders and leaned over the back of the sofa. Then he saw Edith, who was stuffing the cake into her mouth with her hands. The smile on the corner of her mouth burst out.
