Manhattan Reborn 1978

Manhattan.

Gulf Western Industrial Group Corporation, in the president's office.

Company CEO Charlie Bludorn picked up the phone and called Paramount CEO Barris Dickler in Los Angeles, California.

After a few minutes.

After Charlie put down the phone, he became even more confused.

Why did old Cherov's precious daughter Livlin think of buying Paramount?

What he didn't know was that Barris, who was far away at Paramount's headquarters in Los Angeles, California, was even more worried and confused. .

Why did Charlie suddenly ask about the company and old Cherov?

Could it be. .Does he want to sell Paramount?

Barris frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt there was something fishy about this matter. .

He must act!

"Hey, prepare the plane for me, I'm going to New York!"

"Yes, immediately!"

Florida.

City of Miami.

Griselda Blanco put down the microphone and thought for a long time.

She walked out of this independent room, went to the top third floor, opened a room that no one had ever entered except her, walked in, and locked herself up.

After a long time.

Blanco walked out of the room in a relaxed mood, found the phone, and called his subordinates.

"Prepare a plane for me to go to New York!"

"I know!"

"Yes, go now!"

new York.

Stanley fourth floor.

David sat back down behind his desk, frowning at some new plans he had just written out in his hand.

After a long time.

A knock on the door sounded.

"Dang~dang~"

"...Please come in!"

Maggie, the new secretary, slowly opened the door and said cautiously: "Boss, someone has sent you a copy of the meeting minutes~"

David rubbed his eyebrows and nodded: "Thank you Maggie, I'll look at it later~"

"ok~"

Maggie responded and carefully closed the door. .

David couldn't help laughing when he saw her like this. .

After a few minutes.

David tore up what he had written carefully, held it in his hand, and walked out of the office.

He stood at the door and looked around, found Sam, and shouted to him: "Hey Sam!"

"Here~"

"Can you contact Bernard Madoff?"

"...Okay~ He once left his phone number~"

"Make an appointment with him for me. Let's go golfing tomorrow morning. He will decide the time and place."

"It's settled, tell me!"

"ok~"

David asked Maggie for the minutes of the meeting, closed the door again, sat down and read it carefully.

----

noon.

xx Restaurant, Sixth Avenue, Manhattan.

Mr. Harold Stone, director of the New York FBI, sat alone at the dining table. After ordering his meal, he slowly glanced around.

At a dining table not far from him, Brotney Mejia and Herris Schultz were sitting together, laughing and chatting like a pair of good best friends. .

After Mr. Stone determined his target, he stood up, looked down, adjusted his clothes, adjusted his expression, and walked towards the two women with a smile.

10 minute later.

The waiter brought the dishes to the three of them, poured the drinks, and bowed away.

Mexia picked up the wine glass, took a sip, sat back a little, and smiled at Mr. Stone in a low voice.

"The follow-up plan is very simple~"

"We will date two or three times within a week~"

"Every time, the three of us would attend a party together, or go to a restaurant, theater, etc.~"

"In a week, one of us will further develop a relationship with you~"

"You need to cleverly reveal that you have a new relationship during this period~"

"After... four or five weeks after marriage, one month to one and a half months later, you will receive news that your ex-wife neglected the care of the child, causing the child to suffer some injustice~"

Mecia took another sip of wine, shook the glass and said, "Mr. Stone, I don't need to talk about the rest of the matter, right?"

Harold Stone nodded: "Understood~"

"But...can I ask in advance, which one of you two...will become my wife?"

"Haha~ I don't know now either!"

Mecia put down the wine glass in her hand, put her arm around Helis's shoulders, and teased softly like a friend.

"It depends on who of the two of us will be more tolerant of you after coming into contact with you~"

"I'm sorry~ I didn't mean to slander your character~ It's just... we all hate your job!"

Mr. Stone choked on his words. .

He smiled slightly awkwardly, picked up the wine glass, and signaled to the two women: "I will definitely take good care of my future wife!"

"Oh?"

With a smile on her face, Helis continued softly: "Even if...will she quarrel, separate, or divorce you after you get the custody of your child?"

The smile on Mr. Stone's face did not change. He took a sip of his drink and nodded: "Don't worry~ When I was in college, I participated in the activities of the drama club~"

"The most important thing about acting is to inject your true emotions!"

"I will show a sense of humor and a sense of security!"

"When I look at the woman I like, my eyes are full of concentration and admiration~"

"Also, I have come up with a very romantic place to propose, you will definitely..."

"enough!"

Helis smiled even brighter, narrowed her eyes, and said softly: "You are very successful... It makes me hate you even more! Haha~"

"Hahaha~ Thank you, beautiful Helis!"

Mexia also laughed and said: "Let's talk about something else~ Don't let us kick your ass now!"

Harold Stone smiled and shrugged, and after glancing around randomly, he said, "Can you endure it a little longer?"

“I also want to enjoy the delicious lunch here~”

"Oh...say something else!"

"I will pay for all our dates!"

"These... are the greatest sincerity I can give now~!"

Mecia smiled and looked at each other with Helis, both raised their glasses and clinked it with Mr. Stone’s glass.

"Are you sincere? Haha~"

"You should go back and learn more about how to increase your sense of humor when dating women!"

"You are already behind the times..."

"Now, let's talk about your hobbies, unforgettable experiences, living habits and other details~"

Mr. Stone blinked and nodded: "Okay~ I will! Haha~"

"Cheers~?"

"cheers!"

----

Manhattan.

Stanley fourth floor.

David was eating his third slice of pizza when there was another knock on the door.

"Please come in~"

Secretary Maggie slowly opened the door, cautiously poked her head in, and whispered: "Boss, I have your phone number~"

David looked at the pizza in his hand, shrugged helplessly, threw it back into the box, rubbed his hands a few times, picked up the phone and replied.

"Got it~"

"Um.."

Maggie responded and carefully closed the door. .

"Hello~"

"David?"

"Is it me~Polly?"

"Haha~ did you hear it?"

"Of course~ What do you want from me?"

"Have you... read the minutes of this morning's meeting?"

"I've seen it~"

"How about it?"

"...It's going pretty well~ They may have to talk a few more times on many details~"

Polly, who was sitting in her office, frowned and glanced at Lawrence, the head of the security company's training base, and the bearded one-eyed Andres sitting across from the desk. She turned her chair and whispered.

"I don't know what Alto and Dad talked about ~ I miss you..."

"Haha~ You missed me? We just met this morning!"

"...You bastard!"

"Wow~ It seems you really miss me! Do you want me to invite you to my apartment tonight? Let's spend a nice night together?"

Polly said softly, as if she was angry, "Okay~ I'm fine, are you sure?"

"..Not sure~"

"Tch~coward!"

"Haha~ You are too, aren't you?"

"I'm not... you are!"

"...Okay! I am~"

"You're not calling me just for this matter, are you?"

Polly turned the chair again, looked at the two Lawrence opposite with a smile, and said softly.

"It's okay~ I just... want to hear your voice~"

David on the other side of the phone paused for a few seconds before his voice came: "Do you remember what I said to you this morning?"

"..Remember!"

"Okay! How about we have dinner together tonight?"

Polly's eyes blurred for a moment, then she smiled clearly and said: "Forget it, I still have a lot of work today."

"Hey! The work is never done!"

"Haha~ Still... next time~"

"..good!"

"This weekend, Panaris is hosting a social reception at the Blue Crystal Hotel~"

"You come with me to participate!"

"I?.."

"Okay, that's it!"

"Don't forget to buy some new clothes! I'll pay for them!"

Polly laughed angrily again: "Are you rich?"

"I...I have a credit card! Don't worry~"

"For now, hang up~"

"Yeah...bye~"

Polly put down the phone, tapped her lips with the fingers of her left hand, and the smile at the corner of her mouth bloomed without any concealment. .

Across from her, Laurence and Andrés looked at each other. .

Lawrence coughed helplessly: "Cough~that..."

Polly raised her hand and stopped his voice. She remained stunned for a few seconds before breathing out a sigh of relief.

She opened the drawer on the right side, took out the checkbook, and after writing it in a hurry, she pushed it to Lawrence and the two of them.

"One person is not enough!"

"You go back to the training base and form a team, at least twelve people! Divide into two squads!"

"I will give you three times the entire budget of this group in New York!"

"The money will be transferred directly from me and reimbursed."

"It needs to be around David around the clock to ensure his safety!"

When Polly said this, the smile on her lips softened a little, she leaned forward, stared at Lawrence and the two with burning eyes, and whispered.

"David is the person I love most besides my family!"

"If he is hurt, I will not go see him immediately~ but I will find you as soon as possible and let you taste the taste of bullets!"

"Get it? Guys!?"

Both Lawrence blinked a few times and nodded silently. .

"very good!"

"Haha~ Andres, right?"

"...Yes~"

"I will find someone to deal with your child's schooling problem~"

"..thank you boss!"

"No! I'm not your boss~David is!"

"Protect him, and you are also protecting yourselves!"

Lawrence and the two nodded silently again. .

Polly nodded with satisfaction, stood up and said to the two of them: "From now on, you can call my office or home for everything in this group, and report to me and only me!"

"Gentlemen, do you have any more questions?"

"..Gone!"

"Ok~ I hope we can meet happily next time!"

"..Most definitely!"

Lawrence and Andres left. .

They quickly walked down the stairs, walked out of the small building, and stood on the street, looking back at the company in neat movements. .

Andres couldn't help but sigh: "Are all the women in New York so fierce?"

Lawrence was amused, shook his head, patted his shoulder and said: "Polly is not usually like this..."

"She only behaves like this when... she has anything to do with David."

"David? He's our real boss, right?"

"Between the two of them...?"

"Haha~ Come on, buddy, let me tell you the rules of the new job first, number one!"

"Never do anything stupid just to satisfy your curiosity!"

"Remember it! It's very important!"

Andres blinked one eye and opened his mouth: "Oh..."

"Hahaha~ Let's go back!"

"Cohen and Jackal, those two little tortoises, have done great harm to both of us!"

"Let's go back and teach them a lesson..."

"Hahaha~ What a great idea! I just have a stomachache today~ I can give them some extra work..."

"Hahaha~ Then what are we waiting for?"

----

Manhattan.

Stanley fourth floor.

David sat back in his chair, muttering something unknown. .

The knock on the door sounded again.

"Clang clang clang~"

"...Please come in!"

After the door was opened, a clear laughter came: "David? Didn't I disturb you?"

"Livlin?"

David stood up in surprise and wanted to ask Livlin to sit down first. .

But what he didn't expect was that Livlin gave him a friend-like hug before nodding to the secretary Maggie at the door.

"Please bring me a cup of coffee with a piece of sugar, thank you!"

"..OK!"

David looked at the familiar Livlin in front of him, smacked his lips, sat her down on the sofa, and said with a smile.

"you.."

"Leslie is working~"

"You know, every time I go to a place like Rockefeller Center, I feel a little uncomfortable~"

"Maybe he won't have time to spend time with me until after get off work in the evening~"

"So... I just wanted to come to your place first and thank you for helping me yesterday..."

"No, it helped us!"

David shook his head, looked at Maggie who brought coffee to Livlin, closed the door, and smiled.

"Leslie is my friend!"

"I should have helped him when he was still hesitant and hesitant!"

Livlin picked up the coffee, tilted her head, blinked and asked, "Are you good friends?"

"Yes~"

"Then...can I come and play with you tomorrow morning?"

"... I have an appointment tomorrow morning to play golf with someone!"

"Golf? Haha~ I haven't played in nearly two months!"

"Can you take me to play with you?"

David began to scratch his head at Livlin, who once again asked him to jump in line for a date. .

"...We are partners and we need to discuss some business matters. It might not be easy to bring you along..."

"It's okay ~ I promise! I won't disturb you at all!"

"I just... have no friends in New York, it's so boring!"

"Besides, my football skills are very good!"

"By the way~ Can you... know how to play golf?"

"...No, it's my first time..."

"Hahaha~ Just right! I can teach you!"

"Believe me, I will definitely satisfy you!"

David started scratching his head with his hands. .

What on earth is this Livlin thinking about in her mind? ?

In order to relieve his embarrassment, he stood up with a smile and slowly walked back and forth for a few steps before sighing.

"Okay~ I'm going to ask about the time and place, please wait!"

"Ok!"

David walked out of the office, found Sam, and after asking for the details of his date with Bernard Madoff, he turned back and walked into the office and said to Livlin.

"Tomorrow morning at 08:30, where will I pick you up?"

“Gramercy Hotel!”

"Ok~I'll make it in advance..."

"Well... I will be ready and waiting for you in advance!"

"When I came to New York this time, I happened to bring some equipment and clothes suitable for autumn..."

"Tomorrow, it will be a nice day, right? Haha~"

"Should...will!"

"At least there is no smog in New York..."

"Hahaha~ Okay, I'm going to pick out some equipment for you now!"

"Let's go, David!"

"meet tomorrow!"

"..goodbye!"

Livlin left.

David stood at the door of the office, frowning, thinking for a long time, but couldn't remember the phone number of Leslie's office. .

amount. .

He needs help!

42th Street.

Upstairs at Wildfire Bar.

After being renovated, this apartment building welcomed its first batch of tenants today~

In an apartment on the third floor, Susan and Martha sat down and looked at the still slightly messy living room around them, and both laughed.

Martha looked like she was falling apart from exhaustion, and fell into Susan's arms, teasingly saying: "How's it going? Our cabin is done!"

"Will you come back and live with me?"

"...Yes~"

"Haha~ What about your David?"

"Tch~ let him sleep with his arms around the pillow!"

"Hahahaha~ You are still so cute when you lie!"

Susan sneered without blushing, stretched out her hands to support herself, made herself more comfortable, and said.

"The two of us...we won't be stuck together all day like you think~"

"I know~ David is no longer the silly boy he used to be!"

"He is now our boss, landlord, and boss!"

"You will be our boss lady from now on! Hahaha~"

Susan's eyes fluctuated for a moment, then she smiled calmly and said, "I might... really fall in love with him!"

"Um...did you just want to play with him before?"

"..It's not me..I.."

"Stop! You don't have to explain!"

Martha sat up, tilted her head, looked at Susan seriously, and asked tentatively: "Where's David? Did he say anything to you?"

"For example... let you move in and live together?"

"...Said!"

"Then you agreed?"

"..No~"

"What?~You...how did you say that?"

"..."

Susan was silent, and Martha began to go crazy for her friend. .

"You wouldn't really tell him that you just wanted to play with him, would you?"

"..No~"

"...Okay~ It seems that things haven't reached the worst level yet!"

Susan pursed her lips, shook her head slightly, and finally said what was in her heart: "I just feel...the more successful David's career is, the more I feel inferior to my own identity..."

"I'm afraid..."

Martha smiled bitterly and said, "David will be with us for three years!"

"You and I both know what kind of person he is~"

"Have you ever told him this idea?"

"..No~"

"Hey~ you... you can't find a man like David in all of New York!"

"Are you still worried about him suddenly becoming a millionaire?"

"Wake up, Susan!"

"Stop being so stupid?"

"He's not the kind of person you think he is!"

"you.."

After persuading for a while.

Seeing that Susan still didn't feel relieved, Martha decided to provoke her.

"You know~"

"If you had been a few days late to attack David, he would be my boyfriend now!"

"You...if you really feel that you two are not suitable, leave it to me, I will do it!"

Susan looked at Martha sideways: "You come? What do you want to do?"

"Haha~ I'm not afraid of the things you're afraid of..."

"I also want to try the feeling of becoming a rich man's girlfriend... Hahahaha~"

"Humph~ Don't even think about it!" As she said that, Susan put her arms around Martha's shoulders and started to tickle her. .

"Ah~hahaha~"

"You don't want it~ Why don't you let me have it? Haha~"

"Hmph... I want you to have it!"

"Ah~ah~hahaha~don't say goodbye...I don't want it anymore!"

. . .

In the next room where the two were laughing, Erica, who had also moved in today, removed her ears from the wall and slowly sat on the floor. .

"Haha~ Maybe only that stupid boy David would encounter this kind of ghost thing when he goes back..."
