Manhattan Reborn 1978

The sun slowly moved to the west.

Queens, project research and development center.

After David contacted Giles and Zina for a while, they decided who would attend today's dinner.

He went downstairs and arranged for Barlow to go back and find Forrest Gump, comfort him first and tell him not to worry.

Turning back, David came to Alicia's office again, raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

"It's still early. I'll go back and change my clothes first. You and Professor Nash can come together tonight!"

"Without you, I'm afraid that when I meet Principal Luther, I will..."

Alicia stood up helplessly: "Okay~ I'll go find Nash, and we'll go back to change clothes and arrange the children."

"Haha~ Thank you, Alicia! Let's meet at the restaurant?"

"No need to thank me~ You talked to the principal about the data center just to give Nash..."

"No, I still want to thank you Alicia."

“Without your help, I really don’t know how this project center would be able to do it!”

Alicia smiled and said: "Without your presence, Nash might still be on the third floor of Princeton Flint Library, unable to get out."

"Thank you, David!"

David smiled and shook his head, walked up to her, and gave Alicia a gentle hug.

--

ten minutes later.

David walked out of the small building of the R&D center.

Giovanni and Yuri Orlov, who were wearing a smart suit and tie, smiled at David and said, "Look, how is he now?"

David asked him for a cigarette, looked Yuri up and down, saw that the expression on his face was a little stiff, and said with a smile: "You look good."

Yuri nodded, hesitated and said, "Mr. Coleman..."

"When we chatted before, you said your mother was Catholic?"

"Uh...yes!"

"What about you? Do you have faith?"

Yuri shook his head slightly and said nothing.

David walked to the car, leaned against it, and glanced at Lavis and Black Mike: "Yuri, before we met today, have you thought about your future and made any plans?"

"No~"

"Your home is in Little Odessa, which is a place where people always live in fear."

"..Yes"

Yuri pursed his lips, his Adam's apple trembled a few times, but in the end he said nothing.

David saw his little move, exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Do you read the newspaper every day?"

"Newspaper? I read it sometimes."

"Then you saw the newspaper reports about war and rich people, what do you think?"

"No.."

“Have you ever thought you might become what the newspapers call a successful person?”

"No.."

Yuri somewhat understood what David wanted to say. He hesitated and took a half-step towards David.

"I always want to do something big in my lifetime, but I don't know what to do, what to do, and how to do it."

"Mr. Coleman, if I have a chance, I think I will do it to your satisfaction."

David smiled: "It's easy to satisfy me, Yuri!"

"As long as you study hard for a period of time and work hard to bring out your inherent talents, I guarantee that you will get rich rewards soon!"

Yuri didn't understand what talent David was talking about, but he understood that David was willing to give him a chance.

"Thank you Mr. Coleman!"

"Haha~ You don't have to be so polite. From now on in a place like this where there are no outsiders, just call me David!"

"Uh... ok David!"

"Haha~" David threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and patted Yuri on the shoulder.

"Call your mom and tell her you're going on a dinner date with me tonight and don't let her worry about you."

"Good~"

"Oh, by the way. Ava Fangtian is coming tonight too!"

"Um..." Yuri blinked rapidly, his heart began to speed up, but no words came out of his mouth.

David put his head in his ear and whispered: "I'll give you the opportunity to get close to and get to know Ava."

"I'll give you a suggestion!"

"When dealing with the woman of your dreams, don't lie to her."

“Every lie always needs more lies to make it true.”

"But lies are lies after all."

"Yuri, don't lie to the one you love and the one who loves you!"

After saying that, David smiled and turned around and opened the car door: "Yuri, being a person who satisfies me is very simple. As long as you work hard for me, it will be ok~"

"However, it is difficult to be a person who satisfies yourself and makes your family proud of you~"

"Get in the car, I still need to go back and change my clothes!"

"Good~!"

Yuri, whose mind was a little confused, got into the car and stared at the scenery outside the car in silence.

----

sunset.

After David returned to the apartment, he changed into a suit. Mike Bai, who had been away for a while in the afternoon, opened the door and walked in.

"David, Ludy asked me to tell you to find a time for you to meet and chat with the Sidrich family!"

"Oh? What's the matter?" David asked, tying his tie.

Mike Bai hugged his shoulders and leaned against the door and shrugged: "He said that Malkin Senior had talked about investment with people in the family, and they also wanted to invest with you."

"That's it~"

David's movements on his hands slowed down, he shook his head slightly and said, "You know what? I actually don't like taking shortcuts!"

"But... when I know a shortcut, I can achieve my goal quickly."

"You say that I...should ignore the risks that may cause me to stumble? Or should I be more cautious?"

When Mike Bai heard David's question, he thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I can't understand the things in your mind."

"However, I understand a truth."

"Oh? Tell me~"

"Life is never fair to him!"

"So, I especially like what you said: shithappens!"

"Wow~ I didn't expect you to have such a... philosophical side?"

"Philosophy, what bullshit philosophy!"

"Haha~ You guy..."

"It's more fun to chat with you! Let's talk more when we have nothing to do in the future!"

Mike Bai quit: "fxxx! I've been hanging around you every day, and I still have to chat with you when I have nothing to do?"

"You fucking ****, it's quite beautiful to think about it... Hahaha~"

David pointed at Mike Bai, and the two couldn't help laughing.

After ten minutes.

The sky has slowly darkened.

David, together with the four bodyguards, took Yuri, who was a little worried, and drove two cars straight to today's destination.

They passed through Chinatown and came to the southernmost tip of Manhattan Island, a French restaurant not far from the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.

After the car parked and several people got out of the car.

David looked at the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, which had been lit up in the distance, and was lost in thought for a moment.

He didn't know if the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center would fall again in this world.

again?

Why use it again?

David smiled playfully and shrugged.

The five people around him were a little confused and didn't know what David was doing.

at this time.

Several cars stopped on the street, and Giles jumped out of one of the cars, dressed neatly, and walked towards David with a smile on his face.

Behind him, there was a boy, which surprised David.

"Hi~David~! I'm back~hahahaha~ Are you surprised?"

"Um...Bloomer? Aren't you in...California?"

Bloomer smiled and strode to David, hugged his shoulders and complained: "You caused such a big thing, and now you ask me why I'm not in California? You bastard~"

"Hahaha~" David raised his eyebrows at him with a proud face.

"Want... do you want to know what it feels like to kiss Lilith? Hehehe~"

"fxxx!"

Before Bloomer could say anything, Giles, who came over, cursed dissatisfiedly and kicked each of these two shameless boys.

David and Blumer stepped forward with a tacit understanding, and placed Giles directly on the front cover of the car, one on the left and the other on the right. The three of them began their own true, bad friends, meeting again, and making out. ·The grapple of love. .

"Ahaha~ Which one of you is playing dirty? Quick... let go~"

"fxxx! Let go first...hiss~"

"Uhahaha~ You two are scum!"

Bloomer's face began to turn green. He took a breath and glared: "fxxx! You damn bastard, you are on the street~ Hurry... let go!"

David glanced at Giles and let go of Giles' hand. The two of them started to form a team to bully Bloomer in a tacit understanding. .

"fxxx!~ You two bastards! I came to see you right after I got off the plane! This is how you... treat me...~"

David's four bodyguards glanced at the few people who came with Giles and Blumer, and with a tacit understanding, they all walked around the three of them and formed a circle, allowing children like them to Behavior can be less visible to passers-by. .

Yuri Orlov, who was being pulled by Giovanni as a human wall, had question marks on his face. .

He curiously touched Mike Bai next to him: "Boss...do you always greet his friends like this?"

Mike Bai, who was wearing a decent suit, grinned: "Don't make a fuss about daily interactions!"

"Forehead.."

Yuri couldn't help but glance back, and then he felt the pain and closed his eyes, turned back and started to take a deep breath. .

After a few minutes.

David and the three of them straightened their somewhat wrinkled clothes. He put his arms around Bloomer and Giles with his left and right arms respectively, and said to Bloomer.

"What? If you were notified in advance to hold a flash mob on Wall Street, would you really dare to come?"

"Of course~ Why don't you dare? This is so exciting! Hahaha~"

"Not bad~" David tilted his head and looked at Bloomer up and down again.

"Giles is much more cowardly than you!"

"What? Why am I so scared? I'm also participating, okay?"

"Were you involved? Were you on TV? Were you in the newspapers? Where were you hiding?"

David responded with several words in succession, causing Giles to open his mouth, lower his head and remain silent. .

Bloomer's eyes moved back and forth, looking at David and the two of them, and said haha: "Hey~ didn't you tell us to come see Jenny today? Where is she?"

David smiled and tightened his hand on Giles' shoulder: "Forget it, it's all over!"

Turning to Blumer, he said: "Jenny and the others will come, you have to watch your mouth, don't talk nonsense and ruin my plan!"

"Plan? Do you have any other plans? Tell me about them?"

"You'll know when the time comes!" David closed his mouth and pretended to be mysterious.

"Cut~"

Bloomer gave him a contemptuous middle finger, and Giles twitched the corner of his mouth and followed suit.

----

After a while.

Several people sat in the French restaurant.

As the initiator of today's dinner, David came more than 20 minutes early.

He asked the waiter to put a large rectangular table filled with cutlery specially prepared tonight, and briefly discussed the seating arrangements for tonight with Giles and Bloomer.

It was finally determined that the seats to his left were Blumer, Giles, Yuri, Ava Fangtian, and Zina.

The seats on the right are Principal Luther, Professor Nash, Alicia, Jenny and Elena. .

The dish was a French meal that Giles had already greeted in advance, for ten people. .

Now there was an extra Bloomer, and this boy invited the waiter to order some simple dishes for him.

After everything was arranged, Zina, who was stylishly dressed in a beautiful long dress, walked over under the guidance of the waiter.

David smiled and guided Zina to the seat arranged for her, asked her to sit down, and told her the arrangements for tonight in her ear.

Xina glanced at Yuri in surprise, and nodded with a strange smile on her face.

"So...where's Jenny? What are you going to talk about when you meet her tonight?"

Xina asked softly.

David raised his eyebrows: "I'm her future boss. It's not a good idea to be too close to me for the first time. It's easy for her to misunderstand!"

Zina rolled her eyes at him: "What you said is true, do you still have other intentions for Jenny?"

David curled his lips: "Don't let Forrest Gump hear what you said! Otherwise, that guy will knock my teeth out..."

"Hahaha~" Zina covered her mouth, pointed at David and laughed.

"Hi~ We're here! Are you here so early?"

David looked back and saw that it was Professor Nash and his wife who came over under the guidance of the waiter. They also arrived earlier than the agreed time.

David walked towards Alicia, smiled and gave her a hug first, looked at Alicia up and down, and praised: "You are so beautiful tonight~"

Alicia was so good-looking that she rolled her eyes at David and pulled her long skirt awkwardly with her hands: "It's been a long time since I..."

David didn't give her a chance to speak. He turned to Nash and said seriously: "If it were 100 years ago, I would definitely throw a pair of white gloves at you now and fight you!"

Nash happily patted his wife's hand: "You will definitely not be my opponent!"

"Hahaha~ That's not necessarily the case!"

Alicia was amused by what they both said. .

David stepped forward and hugged Nash, leading the couple to the arranged seats.

After David's introduction, the Nash couple greeted Giles and Bloomer with a smile.

"You guys sit down first. I'll go to the door to greet Principal Luther. According to the agreed time, he should be arriving soon."

"Ok~ Let's go with you!"

Giles and Bloomer looked at each other, stood up with a smile, and walked toward the door with David in their arms.

At the entrance of the restaurant, David looked at the two people next to him, opened his mouth, hesitated, tilted his head and said with a smile: "There will be a beautiful model named Ava Fangtian coming later, don't blame me for not telling you. Ah~ I made a reservation for her in advance for Yuri!"

"Yuri?"

Giles and Bloomer were both a little surprised and looked back.

"Is that the silly boy?"

David also glanced at Uncle Cage's youthful face. .

"Ahem~ He is the second Forrest Gump~ I said this, do you understand?"

"Wow~ Is there a story between him and that Ava Fangtian?"

"Not yet~ But if you follow my script... the story between the two of them will be very exciting!"

"Script? Haha~ I knew it! You kid won't let me down!"

Blumer nudged David with his elbow in excitement: "Tell me, how did you arrange it?"

"Well...it's a...secret!"

David no longer paid attention to the big black faces of his two bad friends. He looked outside the restaurant and wondered what was happening to this old man Luther. .Still not here?

At this time, a beautiful figure walked in from outside the restaurant.

She was wearing a beautiful evening dress. .Ava Fangtian!

After David saw her, he immediately felt that with Giles' height, if he stood next to her, he would definitely do it. .Low self-esteem. .

"Hello~ Are you Ava Fangtian?"

"Hello, I am!"

Ava saw the young man walking toward her among the three people standing at the door of the restaurant, greeting her with a smile on his face, and smiled naturally.

"I'm David Coleman, it's an honor to meet you!"

"Xina is already here, right over there~"

Ava followed the direction David pointed and saw Xina waving to her.

She smiled politely at David and said, "I know you. The media these past two days have been reporting on your flash mob on Wall Street!"

"Wow~ I haven't paid much attention to this matter in the past two days. I hope they didn't say bad things about me. Haha~"

"No, if you want to hold a similar event next time, I hope to participate!"

"Haha~ Okay, next time I have plans, I will definitely call you to play together!"

"Excuse me, I have to wait for an important guest tonight, so I can't send you to the dining table."

"No~ I'll go there first!"

"ok~"

Ava smiled and nodded at Giles and Bloomer, then walked towards Zina, who had already come over to greet her, and followed her to sit down at the dining table.

Giles and Bloomer took David's arm and looked in the direction of Ava Fangtian: "You just met today?"

David pretended to adjust his suit: "Of course~"

"Did you just say that you would continue to engage in similar activities?" Bloomer asked with some gossip.

Giles continued with a somewhat bitter expression: "Are you still here? You know what David did. We..."

David glanced sideways at Giles and smiled at Bloomer: "Next time? How about we go to Hollywood in Los Angeles for a flash mob?"

"Um...Okay~ That's it! Haha~!"

"As long as you can come up with a plan, I'll make all the arrangements for the flash mob in Los Angeles~!"

"When the time comes, I will find a large group of Hollywood stars to join you~"

“We must let this flash mob action shock the whole world!”

Blumer shook his head and patted his chest excitedly.

"Bah~ It's still a sensation all over the world!"

"Don't even look at your little body!"

David despises Blumer's bad idea of ​​causing a big incident. .

Giles held back Bloomer who was about to argue with David: "Okay, let's wait until we get to Los Angeles to talk about your plan that will shock the world!"

"why?"

David rolled his eyes at him and said: "The most important thing about a flash mob is confidentiality, discipline, and consistency."

"You're slapping your head, trying to get a bunch of Hollywood stars to do a flash mob?"

“Flash mobs need to be organized, arranged, and rehearsed in advance!”

"What if someone leaks the information during the exercise and causes a major incident in this operation that cannot be ended?"

"This kind of thing can only be planned secretly~! Do you understand?"

"That was not a flash mob that shocked the whole world, that was...a riot, do you understand?"

"Do you think you died too slowly?"

"Forehead.."

Bloomer rolled his eyes and rubbed his chin, wondering if he had oversimplified this matter? . .

David patted him on the shoulder and continued: "Last time we were on Wall Street, our plans were almost disrupted by a group of uninvited people!"

"Because of their temporary participation, the last song was played three times in a row, which was enough to satisfy them."

"We have to thank God!~ They are a group of people who obey the rules~ and don't go crazy!"

"Otherwise... that flash mob on Wall Street will definitely cause some chaos that we least want to see!"

"Okay~"

"When you have plans next time, be sure to tell me..."

After listening to David's explanation, Bloomer realized that his idea was indeed too simple. .

"Okay~ If this happens again, if you are willing to come and participate, it's not too late for me to be happy!"

"Then we have an agreement! Haha~!"
