Manhattan Reborn 1978

Manhattan at night.

Wildfire Bar on 42nd Street.

David and Susan came to work together today.

Erica and Martha were in different moods.

Although David is very curious about Erica's affection.

But now I don’t have any points, so let’s do this for now.

David was still the same as before, sitting at the bartending job. From time to time, old bartenders would come over and make fun of him. He felt very comfortable.

The night is getting darker.

Neither Mike came tonight, but Tom came unexpectedly.

With him were Vince and his brother-in-law Bobby.

Tom introduced Vince and Bobby to David in the booth in front of him.

He said he had no idea he would meet David here, it was just a coincidence.

Vince is a typical Italian handsome guy, with long hair and beard, and a charming smile.

Bobby was a middle-aged Mediterranean man whom David had heard of. He was the vice president of the workers' union and helped Polly find workers for the construction company.

Tom added ice to the whiskey handed by David and said, "We have already talked with Ludy. Anyone in the family who is willing to leave with him can leave and work for the DA security company."

"Ludi offered them a good salary, and some of them were already interested and signed up with Ludy. But as soon as they heard that he was going to take them to a farm in New Jersey for training, those guys started swearing. Haha."

David shrugged: "I don't know these things about them. I will be the company's mascot from now on."

"Lucky boy! Ha!"

They both laughed, and the joke has now become David's nickname.

No one knows how this unknown little bartender turned into a big boss of a group company.

Although Tom knew some inside information about the company, he was also a little confused about David's rise.

He brought Vince and two people here today to talk about Vince's withdrawal.

Ludy has helped Vince make it clear to the family that he is quitting.

But Tom didn't think so. He felt that both Vince and Bobby should hand over a part of their income.

He raised his wine glass and gestured to the two people:

"I don't know how Ludy talked to you, but Vince, you have made a lot of money working in the bar in the past few years. If you pay 5 dollars, you can quit cleanly. As for Bobby, if you pay [-] dollars Bar."

Vince and the two were silent. Bobby gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but Vince quickly stopped him.

Vince said: "For $6, we can withdraw without any trouble! I won't tell anyone about this! Deal?"

Tom smiled with satisfaction: "Deal! Vince, you know we have cooperated very happily in the past few years, even if you went to Ludy's nightclub as a manager. We will still be friends when we meet in the future, and I will often go back to your store to support you. of."

Vince curled his lips: "Of course, Tom! Our store is expected to open at the end of this month, and you are welcome to come and support us then."

He was chatting with Tom, but his hand was holding Bobby's arm behind his back.

When Tom saw that the conversation was over, he greeted David and turned around to leave.

David was curious to hear the whole process, but he didn't ask about these things. They were all Ludy's men. How to do them was none of David's business.

Maybe Tom's gesture today was Ludy's gesture?

David thought it was impossible. Ludy always said that he was not that greedy, and that was indeed what he did.

Many people who collaborate with him, like Vince, can save tens of thousands of dollars in a few years, which is proof.

Bobby watched Tom wander away, breaking away from Vince's hand.

Complained: "I didn't even earn 5000 dollars on the check. Why should I give him 1 dollars? This piece of shit bastard guy!"

Vince had a wry smile on his face. He had foreseen what would happen today when he walked out of Ludy's office that day.

Sixty thousand dollars is not much.

In addition to buying an apartment in the past few years, he still has less than $3 in hand.

It seems like I need to think about where to borrow the remaining $3.

He asked Bobby if he had any money.

Bobby opened his eyes wide: "You don't know what kind of person your sister is? You still want money to be put into her hands and then taken out? Wake up!"

Vince was helpless.

Discuss with Bobby where to borrow $3.

While David was listening, he glanced at the system out of habit.

Points: 15

Achievement Points: 0

I thought if I took out 3 dollars and lent it to Vince.

Will he give points?

So David introduced himself to the two.

Vince and Bobby didn't expect that the young bartender opposite was the big boss of the Da Group?

Ludy once mentioned to Vince about David. As an honorary chairman and a mascot, everyone just needs to know about it.

No details were given.

Tom only introduced his name just now.

He didn't care at all who would tell Ludy about blackmailing Vince.

That guy is no longer his immediate boss, do I need to care?

David was a little stunned when he saw Vince, and Bobby and he didn't expect to know each other.

He smiled and gave the two of them another drink: "I can lend you the 3 dollars you need."

The two people were surprised as they watched David say that he lent them $3, feeling a little incredible.

Vince asked the question: "Why?"

David continued to wipe the cup and shrugged: "You are going to work with Ludy. I am the boss of the company. This kind of thing has happened to me. I should solve a little trouble."

The two were silent.

Bobby came up smart and asked for paper and pen to write an IOU.

David smiled and refused.

Vince and his wife said embarrassedly: "Boss, please don't worry, we will pay back the money as soon as possible."

David looked at the two of them funny: "Don't worry, you have to believe that after our nightclub opens, this small amount of money may only be your income for a few months. Ludy is not greedy! Haha!~"

The two of them laughed!

This is Ludy’s mantra.

David told the two of them to come here tomorrow night to get money from Susan.

The two thanked them and left.

After leaving the bar, Bobby was full of curiosity and asked Vince about David.

How could Vince know so specifically?

All he knew was that the major shareholder of the nightclub seemed to be friends with David, so he invested in the club.

Bobby lamented that this was their turn of events.

Not only is he freed from the gang's control, but he can also live a rich life with clean money in the future.

Vince laughed at Bobby a few words, thinking that if David hadn't appeared, he would definitely not have told Ludy.

So, do you want to tell him now?

Forget it, one more thing is worse than one less thing to worry about. Pay back the money as soon as possible and this matter will be over.

After putting out the cigarette butts, the two said goodbye and went back to their respective homes.

David in the bar watched, with points +2 thinking that this was not a loss!

But who can I borrow the $3 from?

Forehead. . .

His account now only has a few thousand dollars. . .

Spending money is like water during this period. . .

After thinking for a while, he looked at the time and tentatively dialed the old Malkin's phone number.

When it was answered, it was Polly, who was a little surprised that David called.

David said he wanted to borrow $3.

Polly was delighted: "Are you going to buy something for Susan? Don't you still have some money in your pocket? What do you want to do? Tell me!"

David complained about Polly's gossip in his heart, and found an excuse, saying: "Someone from my security company had some problems at home, and I promised to lend him emergency supplies. Don't talk nonsense!"

Polly felt worried: "Okay! It seems that you are a really good boss, but I don't have any money. You need to talk to your father about this!"

David gritted his teeth and sucked in air: "You have no money? Then why do you want to borrow money from me? Go find your dad and see if he is sleeping!"

Opposite Polly smiled and went to find someone.

After a while, Malkin Sr. answered the phone.

David told the situation. Old Malkin did not hesitate and said: "Tomorrow morning, I will ask Polly to bring the money to the company. You can ask her to get it."

After that, I asked if there was anything else.

David thought for a while and said: "This weekend, there is a private party at Giles' place, the same people who took Polly there last time. I think it is better to take Polly there this time, so that she can be with Pine and Boo Rumer will talk about the company again."

Old Malkin pondered for a moment and agreed.

hang up the phone.

Old Malkin asked Polly about the details of the last party. Polly came back very late last time and he had gone to bed.

Later I forgot about it.

Polly looked a little reserved and briefly talked about the situation of Giles, Pine and Bloomer.

He told interesting stories about David’s time with them.

Old Malkin lamented, how could David and Giles get along so well like best friends after they had only known each other for a few days?

Polly was a bit puzzled by this. . .

This was how they got along when she followed him to the party. .
