668 Picking up the mess
After the operation, media reporters kept coming to harass him, hoping to know Gao Wen’s situation as soon as possible. Sports reporters’ enthusiasm is no less than entertainment paparazzi, especially the appearance of Lance, which adds fuel to the fire. After sports reporters, entertainment reporters also came to join in the fun, and it was almost everywhere.
Not only Lance, but even the attending doctor was surrounded by reporters, and even the reporters found out that Lance planned to hire professional caregivers before the news was released. The reporters were like lingering flies, always gathering downstairs of the hospital, holding a posture of not giving up until they achieve their goals, which was annoying.
Lance called Dorothy directly, hired twenty security guards, coaxed all the reporters out, and if anyone was unwilling to leave, he threw them out without hesitation. This action was supported by the hospital and drove all the reporters out in less than half an hour.
However, the official reporters of NFL did not give up their efforts. As the official representatives of the league, they needed to grasp the athlete's status as soon as possible and then report. The three official reporters first came directly, but after being rejected, they went to the door through Green Bay Packers and Gao Wen's agents to come to the door one after another. They relied on their power to get first-hand information, but were beaten out by Lance again.
When Lance opened the room door, he saw Gao Wen's agent Drew-rosehaus - this famous NFL agent has been in this industry for 16 years and is a top agent in the industry. He has always had a good relationship with Gao Wen, and the two have been working together for more than ten years.
Before Drew could speak, Lance saw Jeff Darlington standing not far away. This was the official reporter of NFL. He had just driven away a group of so-called official reporters, and now he is coming again! Lance frowned and walked forward to Drew's side, lowered his voice and said, "Let me remind you that I said that no reporters are allowed to interview, which means any reporter!"
Drew grabbed Lance's right hand, but was stared at Lance's sharp eyes. He raised his hands to show peace, but there was no pause in verbal order, "Lance, you care about Gowen, I care about Gowen, we are not enemies. I just think that people must care about Gowen's current situation, and we need to tell everyone, so that the fans can rest assured that blocking the news is not the right way. So, since we must tell everyone, why not go through the official channels? Avoid other misunderstandings and other speculations."
Lance looked at Drew quietly without saying anything. Just when Drew thought he had convinced Lance, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Lance's mouth, "Drew, how many years have you known Gao Wen? Thirteen years? Or fourteen years? If I remember correctly, when I signed Gao Wen, you were just an unknown little agent. If you really care about Gao Wen, just like me, then you should know that what Gao Wen needs most now is rest. He needs a relaxed space to rest well; then you should stand on the same front with me and tell those vampires, 'Gao Wen needs rest! Let them all go back to the coffin that is no longer visible to day'; then you should not charge the benefits of that reporter, you should not worry about establishing good relations with the so-called alliance officials, seeking benefits for other athletes, and not pulling those irrelevant outsiders in!"
Drew opened his mouth, as if he wanted to defend himself, but Lance shook his head and stopped him, "The specific situation of Gao Wen has been updated by the Packer official, so don't tell me that other reporters need to understand the situation! I am not a fool, nor are you. Don't make yourself more sad, and don't let your reputation be ruined."
After saying that, Lance stood there and looked at Drew quietly. The calm eyes made Drew feel embarrassed. All the words stuck in his throat and his cheeks were sore. As one of the top agents in the league, no one dared to talk to him like this for too long, but looking at Lance's deep eyes, it seemed that he was sarcastic and sharp, Drew avoided his eyes.
Lance didn't say anything more, turned around and took steps towards the nurse standing. Drew adjusted his breathing, looked back at Jeff who was waiting, smiled, and walked towards Jeff, "Gaowen is still sleeping..." Then Drew hugged Jeff's shoulder and gradually moved away in the opposite direction.
"Hello, I am a family member of Ward 521. My brother just woke up and I want to ask the doctor to go over and have some examination." Lance said politely in front of the nurse's station.
At this time, there were about six or seven nurses on duty in the nurse station. When they saw Lance's figure, all their eyes immediately came. As one of the top sports hospitals in the United States, they can always see many top stars when they work here, but only for athletes. It is very rare to see Hollywood superstars.
"Of course, of course there is no problem." The nurse standing in front of the counter nodded repeatedly, grabbed the medical record with both hands, and looked at Lance at silence, but at this moment, the cell phone in Lance began to vibrate. Lance took out the cell phone, glanced at it, and then smiled at the nurse, "Then I'll trouble you." After that, he turned around and answered the phone, and walked towards the balcony.
The nurse only felt that she was about to melt, and the surroundings were filled with pink bubbles of happiness. Other nurses around were already talking about it, presenting a rare lively scene. In the end, the nurse was the first to wake up, "Yes, check! Mr. Strello needs to do a check!" Then she hurriedly jogged to the doctor's duty room. It seemed that Gao Wen could also get some special care in the hospital where powerful people gathered.
"Hey, Barry, I heard you're in Toronto now." Lance stood on the balcony, greeting calmly, as if this was just a normal greeting call.
"Yes, I just arrived at the hotel. The atmosphere here is very lively. I have a premonition that there will be many discoveries in Toronto this year." Barry's voice also seemed very clear, and there was a hint of smile in his words. "I received a message after getting off the plane. I only replied to you now. I saw the news, so, how is Gao Wen now?"
Today, Lance tried to contact Barry, but Barry kept turning off his phone. The secretary in the office said he couldn't contact him. Now night has fallen, so Barry called back. It's not that he has flew to the Atlantic Ocean, how could he be lost all day long? But Lance also knew that yesterday's accident was caused by him, and it was his fault, so Barry was full of nonsense and he could not refute it.
"The operation went smoothly, but we still need to continue to observe." Since Gao Wen had brain surgery, we need to observe closely for the next 72 hours, which is why Lance did not swear to reporters. "Barry, listen, I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. I missed the meeting temporarily and then failed to tell you the situation as soon as possible. This is all my fault. I'm really sorry." Lance didn't want to talk about Gao Wen's topic, so he quickly got into the topic.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. It's not your fault. I'm very sorry for such an accident. No one wants to see such a situation." Barry's words seemed very generous. "To be honest, we were very worried after hearing the news. Now when we hear your news, we feel a little relieved."
"Thank you for your concern." Faced with Barry's politeness, Lance has been nervous and responded carefully. "It's like this. I missed yesterday's meeting in this way. Next, I must come to the door to apologize in person. However, I think that compared to these words without substantial effect, we will arrange a second meeting as soon as possible and then complete the script creation as soon as possible. This is obviously the right choice."
"Lance, are you sure this is OK?" Barry showed sincere concern. "As far as I know, after any surgery is over, the patient needs a period of recovery, right?"
"Yes, so it will be difficult to meet in person for the next period of time, but if you want, we can call for video conferences." Lance proposed an executive plan. In the cooperation case of "I am a legend", he has now fallen behind, so it is very necessary to show enough sincerity.
"No, no. I can understand your current situation. What's more, I'm in Toronto now, and I can't take time to have a meeting in the next ten days, and we can only wait until the situation ten days later." Barry showed enough understanding, which is completely different from what Dorothy had found out before. Lance does not believe that a commercial giant like Barry will change his plan and sacrifice his interests because of a little accident. In the face of sufficient interests, those who can sacrifice are not considered living beings, but just "collateral damage". "So, in the next ten days, you will do a good job in the script, and Aziva will continue to complete his script here. After ten days, we will reschedule a meeting to discuss the similarities and differences between the two scripts in detail, and then seek the best result. What do you think?"
Complete a script in ten days? And when Lance has to stay in the hospital to take care of Gao Wen? It turns out that the real trap is here.
However, Lance was a little confused about Barry's intentions. Does Warner Brothers really want to cooperate with him "I am a legend"? If you are sincere, you can give him more time; if you don't want to cooperate, you can make a quick decision. He believes that Barry is not the type that is dragging on the slut. Or does Barry want to cooperate, but he hopes to put enough pressure on him? Or, in addition to this, there are other situations that he has not learned about?
