Chapter 174 Day 173 on Earth: How to Skillfully Give Money.
"I think what MiG means is that the one who lives in his house makes him uneasy is not love, but some kid in the church." William reminded Wendy, who was open-minded, to accept her magical powers.If you continue to let the horse go on like this, you may have to make up some ghosts.
"Little friend, yes, that's it." MiG nodded without blushing, as if this was the truth.
Even though that "little friend" is almost as tall as MiG and is about to go to college, he is still young!friend!friend!
"I remember you stopped donating blood a long time ago?" Wendy was taken aback, she thought that MiG had given up continuing his life like an ascetic monk in the past.Wendy didn't object to Miguel's charity, she just objected to him giving his all to charity, who would have thought of that?The top director in Hollywood still lives in the company's apartment and drives a second-hand car that is about to be scrapped.
"Not donating blood doesn't mean I won't continue to do charity, thank you." That's it.
Oh, by the way, it must be clean. The price doesn't matter, but it must be clean. In this regard, MiG's hands-on ability is particularly strong.
"What did the kid come to Los Angeles to see you?" Seeing the gossip without love, Wendy quickly shifted her curiosity. She is always full of doubts about the world and full of energy.
"About studies." MiG was vague, but what Andy actually asked was about studies.
However, studies and studies are similar, right?
Andy came to Los Angeles from New York to find MiG, just to solve the trouble of "which university to go to".At least that's what he said himself.
Miguel has taken the SAT (American College Entrance Examination) three times in the second half of last year, and his scores are all very high. The reason why he applied for the test again and again is just to get a higher score, because he wants to go to a good university and urgently needs it. Full scholarships from good universities.What Andy asked MiG was whether he needed to take the ACT.
Both ACT and SAT are one of the admission requirements that American universities will refer to when enrolling students. SAT has a greater influence and a longer history in the country than ACT; but as a rising star, ACT is more popular in the Midwest of the United States.
Although Andy is in New York in the east, he wants to go to a university on the west coast, to be precise, he wants to go to a university in Los Angeles.
"what do you want to learn?"
"Study medicine." The health department in the United States has always been vigorously supporting the education of medical schools. Every year, there are countless scholarships and tuition loans. Many American students from poor families who study well end up relying on The most important thing is to become a highly respected doctor.Although the doctor's study time is longer, the rewards are considerable.
The most important thing is that Andy is not good at other aspects and has no way to help MiG. After weighing for many years, he finally found the close and useful route of being a family doctor for MiG.
"It's a good ideal, and your SAT score is enough." Although Miguel works in the entertainment industry, he, like most conservatives, always has the stubborn idea that lawyers and doctors are the best employment directions. If you can be admitted to the law department and the medical department in college, it means you have a future. "If you fail to apply for a full scholarship, you still have to go. I can..."
"I don't need your money!" Andy interrupted MiG first. Although he can see MiG many times in the name of repaying the money, he doesn't want himself to always need protection in MiG's impression. the weak side.
"Take it as a loan from me." Miguel had already guessed that Andy would say that. He knew Andy's persistence and pride too well, just like the time when he met William on Staten Island. He, at that time, was so poor that he only had dignity left.Some people always say, how much is dignity worth?Can it be more important than living?MiG can say responsibly that when he was poor, dignity was everything to him, and it was the only spiritual pillar that made him feel that he was still an individual.
"No! I will definitely win the full scholarship." Andy insisted, even a little emotionally.
MiG, who couldn't speak, could only stand there in a daze, at a loss.And today, MiG can only blur the key information, and ask William this question, the same thing, why William let him accept the money back then, but he couldn't make Andy accept it.
"Because what I gave you was not money, but a job. From the very beginning, I had the initiative to speak. Didn't you find it? It was you, not your teacher Schiller, who exposed the real movie. The bodyguard suppressed the drunk Schiller, signed a work agreement with you, and you offered to exchange money for the opportunity to send Schiller to a nursing home...every step was going according to my idea, but it also made you feel that you fought for it , it is naturally faster to accept it.”
MiG first made Andy have the first awareness that he wanted to give him money, so no matter how MiG changed his words later, for Andy, it was MiG who gave him alms out of sympathy.
"The reason why I dare to tell you this today is only because you already have money, and you won't care about the little tricks I used to play to give you money."
Wendy was taken aback: "You always asked me to pick you up in your garage, and that's why?"
"It's not what a gentleman should do to let a girl run around in the cold wind." William smiled slyly, especially when they were just starting their careers and had to work overtime until late every day, even if it was just for safety reasons, William would prefer that Wendy could drive home.Although driving a luxury car in the middle of the night might not be very safe, William knew that Wendy's father would wait for his daughter to come back at the door every night, rain or shine, and those who wanted to rob Wendy's car had no conditions to do so.
"Speaking of money, can I borrow some from you first? When the new dividend from "Rain Man" arrives in the account, it will be directly deducted from it." Miguel has already donated almost all the money, and the rest is only enough for his usual In life, it is not easy to give Andy a large sum of money enough to go to college.
It was only after he finished speaking that MiG realized that it was very easy for him to borrow money from William now, because he knew that the money was nothing to him or William.It's like you can't speak because you borrowed money from a friend to buy a bottle of water?No, because you know you can pay him back soon, and he won't care about the little money for water.
"Of course no problem." William didn't know what MiG was borrowing money for, but it was a good sign anyway, "Do you need a car? You can take the car in my Santa Monica warehouse as you like."
The cars in William's garage have changed several batches, because Sabatino, Elizabeth and Bernstein Sr. always love to give William the latest luxury cars.The warehouse is only that big. When new ones come, the old ones have to make room.So those classic cars that could no longer keep up with the trend were transported to other warehouses for careful storage, as a kind of, uh, antique collection, after all, those were Edward's father's once beloved.
"Yachts can also be driven?" MiG joked.
"Okay, I just got a new one." William was very serious.
"Forget it, you can drive away, you can't afford it." MiG raised his hand to express his surrender. Why on earth would he want to make such a joke with William? Obviously, William would not understand.
After returning home, Miguel was not in a hurry to raise money with Andy, but just asked if he wanted to go shopping in Hollywood, and he came anyway.
On this point, Andy readily accepted it, because this was a rare date for him and MiG.
Miguel has always been very good at hiding himself. After a simple disguise, Miguel feels that even William may not be able to recognize him when he walks in front of him, and he is not afraid of paparazzi at all.
"Will it be strange?" MiG came out after dressing up and asked Andy.The only thing he worries about is Andy's acceptance, though he doesn't know why he should.
"No, this is very good, very... nostalgic."
When MiG and Andy first met, MiG was still the young man who covered his face with all his hair and always walked with a hunchback. He was very poor at that time, but he always went to church to do what he could.
And even that kind of MiG, to the young Andy Yu, was a person with a bolingboling light all over his body.
To put it simply, MiG is special to Andy. Even if MiG no longer exists, Andy can always recognize him at first sight in the crowd.
"To be honest, you like this make me feel more open." Andy sat on the sofa and looked up at MiG, as if he was in his lifelong faith, with focused and pious eyes.It was as if they had gone back in time, back to the time when only he knew how good the MiG was.
MiG's hair covered all his unease, so he could only say stiffly: "Then let's go, I'll take you to see the star my friend left on the Avenue of Stars."
Neal left his star on the Walk of Fame last year, and Cruise is said to be on the verge of getting his own.
On the Avenue of Stars with the most tourists, Andy quietly held MiG's hand and said that the reason he found was very "justified": "I'm afraid I might get separated."
The temperature of the hands came from the unfamiliar touch, and Miguel couldn't help but care about the hands they held each other the whole time, but somehow, they held each other like this until the lights came on, and the two of them were relaxed and happy. back home.
They talked a lot that day, about Andy being discarded at birth because of heterochromatic pupils, and because of the same reason, he was rejected by many churches and orphanages, going around and wandering, and a childhood of ups and downs; About Miguel who was kicked out of the house by his adoptive parents and went to New York alone, but was cheated and almost froze to death on the street.In the end, Miguel told Andy that he wanted to make a movie about orphans, not to appeal to the society to donate money, but to tell those children, don't give up, life will always get better.
"It's a good example." MiG said to Andy like this, "You are the same, and you will definitely have a bright future."
"Well, I know, because I met you." Andy nodded solemnly, and he said in his heart, God, I forgive you, if I suffered so much before just to meet the person in front of me , then, I do.
The next day, Andy took the first bus back to New York.He still has to go to school, work part-time, and help the priest take care of other children in the orphanage.He was going to be an adult soon, and he had no reason—his conscience would not allow it—to continue to enjoy the care of the church with peace of mind.
In fact, if it wasn't because MiG had always hoped that Andy could go to a good university, Andy even wanted to give up his studies and work full-time earlier to make money.
However, Miguel said that dropping out of high school is his lifelong regret. Even if he becomes rich and famous later, and can become an honorary alumnus of USC, it is no longer possible to complete the missing piece of the puzzle when he was young.He didn't want Andy to experience this regret one day in the future, and at the same time, he also felt that if Andy went to college, it would make up for some of his regrets in a sense.
The last reason is the reason that really moved Andy to study hard and get into a good university.
For you, I will work hard, hard, and hard to become a better person.
When MiG was still asleep, Andy quietly packed up his house and left, because Andy didn't want MiG to send him off, nor did he want MiG to spend money to book expensive air tickets for him.Before he came, he had prepared the money for the round-trip bus ride.
When MiG got up, what he saw was Andy’s letter on the table explaining that he had left. The last PS is that the breakfast is next to the microwave oven in the kitchen. good.
Holding the envelope and standing in the empty home again, MiG suddenly found that he was starting to be unable to adapt to such a lack of popularity.
Habits are really a scary thing.
"Little friend, yes, that's it." MiG nodded without blushing, as if this was the truth.
Even though that "little friend" is almost as tall as MiG and is about to go to college, he is still young!friend!friend!
