Chapter 136: Have a drink with me

A skyscraper, a conference room. There are four people in the conference room.

"If you agree, then we can invest immediately." Maggie's fingers gently tapped the tabletop of the conference table, and said to Neil Starr and Beth who were sitting aside. "It's good for us to each other."

"No, I don't think I can accept the movie of two heroines. If you don't invest, I think there will definitely be someone who will be optimistic about this movie." Beth did not give in at all, but when she wanted to say it, she was stopped by Starr.

"We can think about it again." Starr quickly said to Maggie, "I know... there is still room for negotiation in all this. Maybe we should each take a step back. We can accept a second heroine. But you can also invest in our movie. The proportion can be discussed again."

"Mr. Starr, you can't make a decision for me." Beth was anxious and stood up and said to him, with an angry look on his face. "This is my movie, mine."

"No, this is not your own business!" Starr also stood up and shouted at Beth, "What else do you want? The investors and companies we know have already discussed, but none of them are willing to invest in your movie. This is not a question of whether you are good at watching it. Haven't you seen the problem? Be clear, Beth!"

Beth was stunned, then immediately looked at him in horror, then looked at Maggie, and a man with a gloomy face standing behind her. The man's eyes looked like a knife, and glanced at Beth, and this glance made Beth smell like a rotten smell of death, and felt uncomfortable all over.

"Because you?" Beth looked at the woman and the man behind her as if he had seen a ghost, and slowly stood up as if he had thorns all over his body, "Hell, why are you doing this?"

"Add a heroine to your movie. That's all." Maggie smiled, but her smile made Beth feel very disgusting, as if she was eating a fly.

"This price is not very difficult for you, right? Do you know how much your investment in this movie is? Use this to invest in a movie that everyone likes to watch, and I promise to make money. But what about your movie? It is said to be a war art film. Will it make money?"

Starr persuaded Beth.

"God, now movies are related to art, except for a few movies that don't lose money, others will lose money. This is the law, the law of Hollywood for hundreds of years. Do you know? Beth, it's enough to have an investment."

Beth just widened his eyes and looked at Starr, and then said angrily: "Is this what you introduced me? If so, you are not helping me, you are standing on my opposite side and hitting me, you are their helper. Oh, hell, I will never believe you again, Mr. Starr, you are really disgusting."

Beth said, then stood up, grabbed the handbag beside him, and walked out the door of the conference room.

"Beth--" Starr stood up and wanted to chase him out, but he still didn't move. Seeing Beth grab the door and threw it hard.

"This is the only way you can do it? It disappoints me too much." Maggie said to Starr sarcastically, "Is this still Mr Starr who is a powerful figure in Hollywood? Or the idol of many young people? Well, this matter has ended here, and our future cooperation should be terminated." She said, then stood up and prepared to leave.

"No, wait. Madam. I think we can find another way. If it really doesn't work, I think we can use her script and start making this movie with just one heroine." Starr gritted his teeth and said to Maggie, "It's not that she must participate."

"Are you talking about throwing her away from her and doing it alone? Can you make sure there is no legal trouble?" Maggie was a little interested, and gently tapped the tabletop, glanced at the man who was narrating. The man didn't say anything, but just looked at Starr coldly.

"No, I promise to handle it very neatly." Starr said to Maggie, "I won't joke with my future."

"Why do you betray her? I remember you said that you like her very much." Maggie looked at Starr with a smile, "I didn't expect you could betray her in a blink of an eye."

"It used to be, but now it's not." Starr shook his head and said, "I will not give up my position in Hollywood because of a woman. I can still tell who is more important."

"You'd better do this, but... what should I do? Wait for my news. You go and be here today." Maggie did not immediately agree with the plan proposed by Starr, but just waved her hand and asked Starr to leave the place quickly. Starr didn't dare to stay for a long time, nodded, and quickly withdrew.

As soon as Starr left, Maggie immediately stood up and said respectfully to the man behind her: "Mr. Campbell, I think Mr. Starr's proposal is very good. Why don't you go and discuss it with the host?"

Campbell nodded and turned around and left without saying a word.

After Campbell left, Maggie sat in the office chair with a decadent expression. Her feeling of being bound really made her suffer. This pain could not be escaped. This may be the price. The devil gave her youth, but she betrayed her soul.

When Jia Huan came back from the manor, Carlos had a lot of business cards in his hand. However, when he arrived at home, Jia Huan took the business card that he was looking through excitedly, and threw it into the trash can without even looking at it, saying, "I didn't expect that you are so interested in garbage, and you will dump the garbage in the future."

"God, there are many business cards of the bosses of large companies, and the managers of famous investment companies... You just threw it away like this?" Carlos opened his arms and said to Jia Huan in confusion, "Didn't you say you want to give me a job? Is this job over today?"

"Of course. Do you still want to do this every day?" Jia Huan took out a cash check from his pocket and stuffed it into Carlos's hand. "This is yours, so... you should continue to look for a job these days. You have been fired, this is your severance payment."

"Oh, my god, you can't do this...50,000 US dollars? My god, you got a 50,000 US dollars in the performance just now?" Carlos's mouth grew, enough to stuff an egg in it. This guy was completely confused.

"Fifty thousand US dollars is already considered a friendship price." Jia Huan shrugged, "For my performance, 50,000 US dollars is worth the ticket price... However, it seems that no one will sell tickets tonight..."

"You gave it all, what should you do?" Carlos put the money back to Jia Huan's hand firmly and said, "I can't ask for yours. I didn't help with anything."

"Okay, since you don't want it, take it first. But... you don't have much money now, should you go find a job?" Jia Huan said, "Don't think about Miss Beth, she is not suitable for you."

"How can I know if it's not suitable if I haven't tried it?" Carlos disagreed with this.

"Because she will cause some trouble, and these troubles are not something you can fight alone." Jia Huan shook her head at him, "She is a troubled woman, and she will cause even greater trouble in the future."

"I don't believe it!" Carlos snorted, "You are not a prophet."

Jia Huan smiled and stopped talking.

Carlos suddenly sighed and said, "Yes, you're right. I'm just blindly sticking to my own opinion. She is a beautiful big star and rich, and I... nothing."

While sighing, suddenly a burst of music started.

"This is your phone." Carlos said to Jia Huan.

"My phone is not the sound. It's yours. Maybe it's the phone you've been waiting for for a long time." Jia Huan patted his shoulder, stood up, and walked away. "Since you have decided, then answer it, don't let yourself regret it."
