Manhattan Reborn 1978

New York, Queens.

The old Malkin family.

After the three Davids left, Malkin, with a dark face, pulled his daughter Polly back to the living room and stood where David had just been.

"You don't need to say what you think, I can probably guess it~!"

Old Malkin put his arm around Polly's shoulders and took a deep breath: "Polly, my daughter is the head of Da Company."

"Ludi, the person in charge of DA Company's nightclub and security company."

"Most of my net worth after retirement has been invested in this big company."

"What David and his father, David Sr., said in my study that night...most of the company's plans have been realized!"

"These are all things you can see and touch!"

Everyone wanted to say something, but Old Malkin squinted his eyes and raised his hand to press down.

"If David's words just now made you feel a little uncomfortable...haha~"

"That shows that he touched on everyone's pain~!"

"I am David's elder, and most of you are also his elders."

"Do you understand the efforts he made so that I and we could live a better life?"

"No~! You **** don't understand!"

"Just like David said, your minds are full of shit!"

"If any of you has a grudge against David, you can come to me!"

Everyone was silent. .

Indeed, as old Malkin said, as the core members of the Sidrich family, how many years has it been since no one said harsh words to them?

Old Malkin glanced at everyone and continued: "The Sidrich family is an anomaly in New York!"

"Since my father's generation, no matter what happens in the Sidrich family, everyone has sat together and made decisions!"

"I quit the family business, but I'm still a member of the family!"

"David's efforts for the Sidrich family, is it because he has feelings for you?"

"fxxx!"

"After I quit the family, Ludy was the best person of his generation to take over the family business."

"After he also quit with me, David gave the family the business of Popular Entertainment!"

"Now, he has found the Norton family of the Cleveland Consortium as a partner in the real estate development plan for the family!"

"David Coleman owes nothing to the Sidrich family!"

"You fuckers are all using your rusty heads, think about it!"

"George, come and tell us what David didn't finish."

"Rudi, Alto, come with me!~"

"Ok!"

Ludy stood up and looked at Alto, and the two followed old Malkin to the kitchen table and sat down. .

Old Malkin poured himself a glass of wine, drank it down, and poured another glass. His hand was held down by Sena who was following him: "Drink less!"

"...It's okay~"

Sena looked at her husband with some worry, pursed her lips, turned around and found Polly and Manqi. Mother and daughter walked upstairs.

Old Malkin was holding a wine glass, sitting at the dining table, and said in a low voice: "I saw a sentence today. No matter what you think, I will never be arrested!"

"And friendship is the strongest line of defense I can rely on!"

----

Blue Crystal Hotel.

Old Morgan and Panaris got into the car and waved to the people who were sending them out.

Watching the car go away, Giles, Pine, Lilith and Laura stayed behind in the blue crystal.

Laura held Lilith's arm and looked at Giles: "Let's go to our room to chat~"

Giles scratched his head and looked at Pine, winking at him. .

Pine pretended not to notice at all and nodded and smiled: "Okay~ We can wait for Grace for a while. I need to do some handover with her for the work at hand!"

Lilith brought Laura to Giles with a smile: "What are you hesitating about? Or...what are you afraid of?"

Giles changed his face instantly, smiled and nodded: "Let's go~ It's autumn now~ You guys are wearing too little!"

"Hehe~"

Laura rolled her eyes at Giles, stretched out her other hand to hold Pine: "Let's go~"

Giles stood there and touched his nose, missing David a little. .

After half an hour.

Grace walked out of the elevator and knocked on Lilith's door.

Laura opened the door from the inside, saw Grace, and pulled her into the room with a smile.

Seeing that the savior was back, Giles and Pine hurriedly stood up: "It's the girls' time now~ Let's go back first!"

Seeing that they were about to leave, Grace didn't stop them and teased, "It seems you two are also afraid of seeing me?"

"No, no~ We just... It's too late~ Everyone needs to go to bed early, we have to go to work tomorrow, don't we?"

Without stopping, Giles passed Pine and walked towards the door.

Pine stopped smiling, looked at Grace, hesitated and said, "You and Elder...?"

"Yeah...we've talked about it~"

There was no negative emotion on Grace's face, but she looked a little happy.

"We will be brothers and sisters and friends in the future~but... we will no longer be husband and wife~"

Pine looked directly into Grace's eyes and nodded slowly: "Giles and I will always be by your side~ If you need anything, just ask!"

Grace smiled and nodded, reaching out to smooth a small wrinkle on Pine's clothes.

"Thank you Pine~!"

"Okay~ As you just said, it's time for us girls, go back quickly!"

"ok~"

Pine opened his arms and hugged the smiling Grace.

Laura and Lilith slowly walked to Grace's side and watched Pine and Giles go out.

"Are you okay?" Laura asked softly and cautiously.

Grace glared at the little girl fiercely, stretched out her arms and put her arms around Lilith's shoulders: "My matter has been settled~"

"Now let's talk about...what happened between you and that boy David~!?"

"Uh...hehe~ We were just about to tell you!"

--

In David's apartment.

In the living room, the four bodyguards, Lawrence and David were all holding a cigarette. .

Within a few minutes, the entire living room was filled with smoke. .Turned blue. .

David put out the cigarette butt in his hand, walked to the window, and opened the window so that the autumn wind at night could bring some fresh air into the room.

When Mike Bai saw that everyone was silent, Lawrence looked like I was just a fool and couldn't help but said: "David, have you decided how to deal with this matter?"

David stood by the window, nodded, and shook his head: "Where is Carew? Is he still downstairs?"

"Forehead.."

Mike Bai thought for a moment confusedly: "I probably won't be here tonight, but two of his men will always be here."

David nodded, indicating that he understood. .

After a few minutes.

He took a deep breath, sat back on the sofa, turned on the speakerphone, and called Miami.

The phone only rang once and connected.

"Hello~ boss!?"

"it's me."

David crossed his fingers and frowned: "Where's Rambo?"

"I'm~"

"It's up to you to take over the rest!"

"You guys go see Blanco later and tell her that we have nothing to do with Bog Beru's plan!"

"What he wants to do and whether Blanco is willing to agree to it are all matters between them!"

"Moreover, let Blanco contact Colombia and invite the Cali Group member...Londono and Pablo's men...to Miami!"

"When the time comes, come forward and talk to them face to face~"

"Ask me clearly, what does this Rondono want from him?"

David took a breath, exhaled it slowly, and continued: "Guys, I have never experienced a scene where corpses are everywhere. I have never experienced the loss of relatives, friends, or brothers. I have never experienced... A few words can be sent away. A matter of life!"

"However, I am not a bad person~ let alone a devout believer in God~"

"Rambo, I don't care what method you use~ You must bring everyone who belongs to the DA security company back to New York safely! Let them go home!"

"do you understand?"

On the other side of the phone, in the room where Cohen and others were, there was silence for a few seconds.

Rambo, who was sitting by the phone, nodded slowly and said, "I understand~Boss!"

Cohen slowly crossed his legs and looked at the jackal.

The jackal grinned and shook his head slowly. .

"Also~ tell Cohen that before Christmas, he and Jackal will be responsible for all toilet sanitation at the DA Security Company's New Jersey training base!"

"They can only use toothbrushes to clean the toilet and clean the toilet, sticking their buttocks out and brushing them!"

Rambo chuckled and said, "I understand, boss!"

David sighed and continued: "Whether it's the Colombian drug lords or this Griselda Blanco."

"If our own strength can be stronger, they will not be able to pose any threat to us!"

"Guys, I need some time!"

"I need time to let me grow and let the company grow!"

"I promise, as long as these drug lords don't kill themselves, I will give you the opportunity to teach them a lesson!"

"Even if... we can arrest them all and do target practice!"

Rambo's smile became even crooked: "Okay~ I'm looking forward to that day!"

"If there is any problem with Bog Beru, you can tell me and I will find someone to solve him~"

"You... all come back safely and come home!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Okay~ Let's do this for now~"

Rambo heard the blind tone and hung up the phone.

Cohen stood up directly, walked to Rambo, smiled and shook his head: "Okay, now you are our commander. If you have any orders, just give them."

"Haha~ Let's go meet Blanco first, and then... you and Jackal go back to New York to clean the toilet~!"

"what?"

Both Cohen and Jackal were shocked~!

"Are you serious?"

"David, those are just angry words ~ you can't take it seriously!"

Rambo curled his lips, stood up and walked out: "Do you want to stop cleaning the toilet for a few days? Why don't you hurry up and follow me~"

"Hey~"

Jackal chuckled and stood up, patting Cohen on the shoulder: "Stop talking nonsense and work more~ Do you understand?"

"you.."

Cohen stamped his feet and followed the jackal out of the room.

----

In David's apartment.

After hanging up the phone, everyone knew what to do. .left.

David sent everyone out, grabbed Lawrence, and gave him a few words: "In the near future, you have to manage the daily affairs of the New Jersey training base~"

"Wait until...next year, I will expand the staff size of the security company!"

"I heard them say that a security expert came to our training base? Is he still there?"

Lawrence nodded and said, "Yes, Demais Ode is retired from the Washington Secret Service. He has very rich experience in security!"

"Well, let the soldiers learn from him first. It will be useful when our personnel expand!"

"ok~"

Lawrence paused and looked at David calmly: "Thank you!"

David shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's me who wants to thank you!"

"It's over~ man!"

Lawrence nodded silently.

"Okay~ let's go~ Do you still want to hold me and sleep together?"

"Haha~ Then I'll go back to New Jersey directly~!"

"Um.."

Lawrence is gone.

David stood at the door for a while, closed the door, turned off the light, walked into the bedroom, and fell down on the bed.

After a while, slight snoring sounded. .

----

53th Street.

Zina was in her bedroom when she heard the door open on the first floor. She came out of her bedroom in her pajamas, walked to the stairs, and said softly.

"Is it Madonna?"

"It's me, Xena!"

"Oh... come up quickly~ I just have something to tell you~"

"Okay~ Come right away!"

Madonna trotted upstairs with brisk steps.

"what happened?"

Zina glanced at Miranla's bedroom and pulled her into her bedroom with a smile.

"I'm going to meet two good friends tomorrow. They are both very influential. So, I want you to get to know them too."

Madonna asked curiously: "Who are they?"

Zina smiled and smoothed the broken hair around Madonna's ears: "Barbra Streisand and Mary Tyler Moore!"

"what?"

Madonna screamed in disbelief and then transformed into. .Rocket Girl started jumping up and down. .

"Really? Barbra Streisand? Wow~haha~ I've seen several of her movies!"

"Mary Tyler Moore, I really like her too!"

"The Mary Tyler Moore Show she starred in is one of my favorite TV shows!"

"Mary Richards, the heroine in the play, is my idol~"

"Wow~ Xina, can I really see them tomorrow?"

"I'm so excited! Haha~"

Seeing that this little girl was losing control, Zina quickly comforted her: "The reason why we meet tomorrow is because Mary's sister Elizabeth... passed away~ Barbara and I made an appointment to visit her together~!"

"Mary's sister died?"

"Um...how old was she? How did she die?"

Zina smiled helplessly and said: "I heard it was...a drug overdose~"

"Remember, anytime anyone tells you to try drugs or drugs for some fun or excitement, they are trying to harm you! Do you understand?"

Madonna nodded with twinkling eyes: "I know, Zina!"

How could she hide her little thoughts from Zina? .

Zina pulled Madonna, sat on the edge of the bed, and said warmly: "I have contacted your vocal teacher and dance teacher for you~"

"You have a good foundation in dance. The dance teacher I found for you is very strong in modern dance. He will definitely be of great help to your dance~!"

"A vocal teacher can let you know how to use your voice well, improve your singing skills, and lay a solid foundation for you to release your own records in the future!"

"These two teachers are very difficult to find. You must cherish this opportunity, do you understand?"

"Okay, I will definitely work hard!"

Zina looked at Madonna with a smile and a serious expression: "I'm already looking for someone to help plan your first single. When the record company contacts me, we'll try to record it first."

"Madonna, New York is... big for us, there are a lot of opportunities."

"You have only come to New York not long ago, and you have seen many girls who come here for various reasons to find their dreams."

"They...how are they doing now?"

Xina said, as if she remembered the scene when she first came to New York. .

"For you, being able to let David sign you is the biggest opportunity in your life!"

"You must hold it and don't let it slip away easily!"

Madonna was silent for a moment and nodded slowly: "I understand, thank you Zina~!"

"Haha, no need to thank me, you should thank David!"

"If he hadn't wanted to sign you... we wouldn't be sitting here chatting~!"

"Um.."

"Okay, it's very late~ Get up early tomorrow and let's dress up nicely so we can meet your idols!"

"Okay~ Zina, I'm going back first~ Good night!"

"good night!"

Zina watched her go out, closed the door, shook her head slightly, and whispered to herself: "What a lucky little girl!"

The same is on the second floor.

Next to Mirala's bedroom.

She is carefully preparing for tomorrow's classes, hoping to speed up her studies in college. .

"Bangdang~"

In the corridor outside the door, the sound of closing was heard.

It must be that Madonna is back~ Time has passed by this time unconsciously?

Miranla glanced at her watch and saw that it was already past midnight. . .

She frowned slightly, lowered her head, and looked at the textbook in her hand. .

According to the previous plan, there are still two pages left to finish, so finish them as soon as possible before going to bed!

Thinking about it, Miranla felt a little cold in the room, so she rubbed her hands vigorously for a while. It wasn't until her cold hands felt a little warm that she picked up the pen, sat on the desk, and started studying seriously.

----

In David's apartment.

Susan, who left the Wildfire Bar with Madonna, tried to move as gently as possible and stood at the door of the bedroom looking at David who had fallen asleep, with a smile on her lips.

ten minutes later.

After finishing washing, Susan slowly lay down next to David, using the light from the window, looking at David in a daze with somewhat blurred eyes. .

Just like that, after a while, she fell asleep unconsciously. .

----

a new day.

David woke up with a numbness in his left arm. .

When he opened his eyes, he saw that Susan had gotten into his arms and was sleeping soundly on his left arm. .

The soreness and numbness in his left arm made David feel uncomfortable. As a last resort, he moved his body.

Susan, who was sleeping soundly just now, felt David's movements and opened her eyes in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Seeing her sleeping beauty look, David couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her. .

"It's time to get up~ I still have a lot to do today!"

"Oh~ Then...let me sleep a little longer!"

"Haha~ I'll go to sleep later... Let's do it.~"

"Oh~no~! No!"

"Haha~..."

"Okay~ stop talking nonsense~ don't you still have something to do?"

"Forehead..!"

----

After half an hour.

I went into the bathroom and took a cold shower. .

"Hi~!"

As he walked out, David regretted it. .Why would you stupidly take a cold shower?

----

ten minutes later.

David, dressed neatly, came to Black Mike.

This big black guy is sticking his butt out. I wonder which beauty he is dating in his dream~

Ravis, who was sleeping on the sofa in the living room, got up in confusion and saw David walking in: "Damn Black Mike~!"

"His xxx!"

David glanced at the bedroom funnyly: "What's wrong?"

Ravis strode into the bathroom, filled the water, and complained: "This damn bastard~ He went to have some crazy fun somewhere last night~ He didn't come back until dawn!"

"fxxx!"

"Oh?"

David leaned against the door of the bedroom, rubbing his chin curiously, and raised his eyebrows at Lavis who came out of the bathroom: "How about we... give him a little stimulation..."

"Exciting?" Lavis perked up. .

"How?"

"Hehe~ You say... pour cold water on him... or shoot him in the ear?"

"Or... give him a slap?"

"Hahaha~ It's all good. How about we do it one by one?"

"Um...then he will be scared to death, right?"

"Haha~ It would be better to scare this damn bastard to death!"

"Haha~ Okay~ Let's go first... pour cold water on him and give him a slap!"

----

Twenty minutes later.

Lavis, whose eyes were a little blue, and Black Mike, whose face was a little swollen, followed David out of the apartment.

Giovanni, who was already waiting on the street and next to the car, saw the two of them like this and asked a little funny: "What's wrong with you...?"

David opened the car door and smiled: "Get in the car first, I'll tell you later on the road!"

"Um...ok~"

Seeing that his second brother Lavis and Black Mike didn't explain anything, Giovanni simply got into the driver's seat and drove the car towards the Marseille restaurant.

----

San Francisco, California.

The sun is just rising here.

Chris Gardner was woken up by the sound of a noisy alarm clock. .

His wife Linda muttered something, turned over, and continued to sleep holding the quilt.

Gardner confusedly reached for the alarm clock and turned it off to quiet his ears. .

This morning, he made an appointment with several doctors to promote the medicine he bought with all his savings. .Portable small bone density detector. .

Gardner once asked himself in frustration why he bought it in a flash. .There are nearly a hundred units of this kind that are expensive and of little practical value. .Bone density detector. .

However, I have already bought everything. .He couldn't return the goods. .

The good news is that as long as Gardner sells a detector, he can earn half a month's living expenses for his family!

And the bad news is. .

It’s been a long time since Gardner last sold a detector. .It’s been three weeks!

10 minute later.

Gardner rubbed his face and sat up from the bed, glanced at his wife Linda, shook his head helplessly, got out of bed and got dressed, took a look at his son Christopher, kissed and gently stroked his sleeping little head. Take a look at your son’s exposed little hands.

Turn around and go out, ready to wash up and make breakfast for your family. .
