404. Chapter 404 Coming
The topic of Naomi's pregnancy finally ended with the cake being burned, and she didn't mention it again after that, which made Sean briefly relieved. But this was just the beginning. Pregnancy is a very troublesome thing for women, Ann
I won’t talk about fetal maintenance. Although it’s only about two weeks, the baby’s bedroom and various supplies need to be prepared, work needs to be adjusted, etc.
Most of these things require Sean to find a way. Who makes him the father of the child? Although Naomi did not ask him to raise it together, and although Sean is still a little uneasy and worried, out of instinct and... not wanting to lose
For the father's subconscious, he still has to bear the responsibility. Fortunately, most of these problems can be solved with money, such as hiring a servant to take care of him all day - not yet used - contacting the hospital for regular check-ups, and finding some abortion methods.
method and urged Naomi to follow it, knowing that she can basically be regarded as an advanced maternal age.
Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. Sean is now considered a rich man, but there are some problems that money cannot solve, such as not being able to tell others about it. The women stopped talking, even Jordana
Or Kate, it's hard to say how their hearts will change after hearing this, let alone Katie and Zoe.
As for Galen and the others, Sean could basically picture in his mind the way they opened their mouths after hearing the news, and their stammering voices: "You...you're going to be a father?!"
Then, what followed was definitely a burst of laughter, absolutely, especially if they knew that the pregnant partner was Naomi, the two guys would only laugh harder. Just thinking about that scene is irritating.
Sean couldn't shut them up, so it was better to keep this matter in his mind for the time being.
In fact, if possible, he still wants to tell some people about it, such as——
"I'm talking to you, Sean, you should listen carefully and not be distracted!" The father sitting at the top said in a stern tone.
After taking a look at his helpless mother, his sister who looked like she hadn't heard anything, and the turkey on the table, Sean, who had put away his thoughts, could only shrug: "I've been listening.
dad."
He put down the knife and fork in his hand and said in a casual tone: "I don't think there is any problem with this. I earned these billions, so I can naturally do whatever I want."
"That's just a stock, and it has nothing to do with its actual value." My father immediately snorted, with a look of disdain, "Suddenly gaining huge wealth, then squandering it arbitrarily, and finally losing everything in a short period of time, this kind of thing often happens
It happened, your mother and I have lived in San Francisco for so many years, and we have seen not seven or eight, but four or five examples."
Except for the past ten years, how much time have you spent at home? Sean gritted his teeth and his scalp jumped when he heard this thought. Although he knew this was correct, as long as it came from his father's mouth, he couldn't help it.
Want to refute.
But in the end, he didn't say much. It wasn't all because of the look in his mother's and sister's eyes, but simply because he felt that... it had no effect. It was very depressing to say that after Google went public and his net worth skyrocketed, he told him proudly over the phone.
family, and asked his sister to tell his father, for what reason I won’t say more. However, to his surprise, his father didn’t react at all. According to the news from his sister, he saw and heard Sean’s
After the news, he just snorted heavily, but didn't say anything again. How could this happen?!
According to Sean's idea, no matter how calm his father is, he will at least be shocked. It has only been six years since he graduated from high school. And although the catering group run by his father has good profits, it is only 5 billion.
His market value is about 10%, and his personal net worth is much less. There is no way to compare with him.
So Sean believed it no matter what and thought Liana was lying to him. Of course, he didn't show it, otherwise the "stingy" Liana would definitely find a way to look good to him.
So when Thanksgiving Day arrived, Sean returned home more excitedly than ever, wanting to taste the fruits of victory. However, what greeted him was disappointment. When he boasted about how he fell in love with Google in the first place,
My father said it directly, and he started to feel complacent about this little achievement?
Sean wanted to reply at that time, at least he was better than you, but he still couldn't say such words in front of his family, so he had to swallow his words and listen to him, just like he is now.
"I've never had a good Thanksgiving dinner, and a Christmas dinner, I'm so fed up!" After the meal, Sean complained loudly in front of Leanna.
"Do you know what you look like now, Sean?" Lianna laughed endlessly, "When you were about three years old, you were a poor little boy who had his toys taken away from you by me."
Sean stared at his sister, snorted angrily for a long time, then gritted his teeth and whispered: "If he finds out that he is going to be a grandfather, I don't know if he can be so nonchalant!"
"What are you talking about?" Liana immediately came over and asked.
"I'm saying, I hope he can stay so calm." Sean rolled his eyes.
"Okay, Sean," Lianna put away her smile and softened her tone a lot, "Although dad didn't show it, he was actually very proud of you. The report about you in Fortune, he
But after looking at it again and again, when the neighbors talk about you, they will smile."
"I didn't see any of this." Sean grinned, "Besides, I'm sure that when others praise me, he will at most say: Not bad."
Seeing his appearance, Liana said no more and immediately changed the subject: "So, have you considered investing in other industries, Monopoly? I also want to start my own business recently."
"Unfortunately, I don't have any investment plans at the moment, and you know, stocks and actual value cannot be equated," Sean shrugged. "Besides, I think if you really want to do this, go out and whistle, there will definitely be a large number of people."
People are rushing to invest in you.”
"I sound like a dog owner."
"No, you are a dog trainer. As long as you stand forward, as long as they know how good you are, they will definitely come over and listen to your instructions."
"But the problem is that there is one in front of me who is not very obedient."
"Why should you listen to your own kind?"
"You have a good mouth, Sean. You must have been itchy lately, right?!"
"Wait a minute, I have something to say!"
After a disappointing but pleasant Thanksgiving at home, Sean was preparing to return to Los Angeles. In fact, he could have stayed a few more days. Although his father's indifference made him grit his teeth, his mother was still as gentle as ever -
It would be better if you don't nag.
Like all mothers in the world, she has to be concerned about his personal life, because at the beginning of November, Sean and Jessica each issued statements announcing their peaceful separation.
This has already been decided, and the rhetoric has been unified. Anyway, their managers are both Fredericks, which is very convenient. For example, they separated because of irreconcilable conflicts, and they are still friends even after they are separated, etc.
Of course, these are all excuses, and the media also knows that it is an excuse, and knows that Sean and Jessica know that it is an excuse, and they also know that Sean and Jessica know that they know that it is an excuse, but they still publish it because the public
have no idea.
The mother was obviously a member of the public at this time, so she was a little confused as to why they had broken up. After all, Sean had previously admitted that they were dating.
Of course, Sean couldn't say that it was all an act from beginning to end, so he had to fool him, so his mother had to nag him a little bit about it, telling him not to worry too much.
Even though Sean loved his mother very much, he couldn't stand her nagging. When he was depressed, he almost told her about Naomi's pregnancy several times, so after thinking about it, he decided to return to Los Angeles early. It was just right.
There are excuses.
"The Aviator" has been confirmed to be released in the Christmas season on December 17th, and the final promotion has begun. As the leading actor, Sean has to participate, and he also has to prepare for the premiere. The media has also begun to take action.
Badmouthing again.
As mentioned before, although Sean's net worth has skyrocketed since Google went public and he has basically become the richest actor in Hollywood, the media dare not act rashly.
But when they come to their senses and find out his details again, they will attack again. The current situation is the best example.
"This is Martin Scorsese's first work with an investment of more than 100 million, and it will also become his most failed work. Sean Tang, who has had smooth sailing since his debut, will also suffer a big setback due to this."
Some commentators made such bold predictions.
As for the reason, there is no one. Well, the pessimists a few months ago would at least give some plausible reasons, but now they don’t even give any reasons. Although every time when the movie is about to be released, someone will always jump out like this
It was nonsense, but this time it was too strange. Someone might be giving instructions from behind. At least Sean had a candidate in mind.
Of course, he has no evidence, so he should just wait for the movie to be released, and we will find out by then. At least in internal test screenings, the movie has received good reviews.
However, the evaluation of the internal test screenings cannot be fully trusted, otherwise Fox would not have sold the North American distribution rights of "Titanic" to Paramount, because during the internal test screenings, they felt that no one would watch such a love story.
movie, I just don’t know if they regretted it afterwards.
The premiere time is coming soon. As a popular Christmas show, the competition is naturally fierce. For example, just a week ago, "Ocean's Twelve" was released in more than 3,000 theaters across the United States and received 4,000 in its first week.
A good result of 10,000 US dollars. To be honest, Sean was still surprised by this. After all, the film only started shooting this year, and it was actually released in time for the end of the year. It seems that Soderbergh was editing while filming.
It's just that although the box office was good, compared to the first film, this one has a much worse reputation. Many critics said that the story was too confusing and the characters were too fragmented. Except for the surprising plot of Julia playing Julia, the rest
All are lackluster.
