After eating breakfast, Andy looked at the time, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning, looked at the nightgown on his body, a smirk appeared in the corner of his mouth, ran into the kitchen, holding Scarlett, as long as 160cm, would not let go.
Scarlett worked hard to get rid of it, but what body and strength of Andy was just in vain, Scarlett shouted angrily: "Damn bastard, let go of me, it really doesn't work, I still have a role today, next time, Well, I'm sure to satisfy you next time ... "
Andy let go of Scarlett's blushing Scarlett a little bit, and put aside her lips. After Scarlett gave her a kiss, she was reluctant to return to the bedroom and put on her clothes.
I took out my cell phone and made a call. Joseph and Kenny had changed to a black Ford business and waited downstairs.
Putting on shoes, Andy looked back at Scarlett, raised her eyebrows, and said a little uneasily, "Did you forget something?"
"... Scarlett threw a bunch of keys from Andy to Andy, and Andy grabbed it with a smile," Okay, I'm gone, remember to call, but I miss yesterday very much Late madness ... "
"Go!" Scarlett growled in a low voice, blushing.
Andy laughed a few times, stepped forward and hugged Scarlett a kiss, and let go until Scarlett hit him, and said in a low voice: "I'm gone, take care of myself, give me something to hit Phone, don't carry it yourself. Obediently. "
Andy touched Scarlett's face with a bit of pity, and then walked out of the apartment. The door was closed. Andy saw Scarlett's eyes with tears. Andy shrugged, walked down the stairs, or There is no choice to take the elevator, who knows who will meet.
After going downstairs, I opened the security door of the apartment building and saw that the Ford commercial vehicle had opened the door. He nodded at Joseph and quickly stepped into the car.
"Where is the boss?"
"Go home first."
Back at home, Andy went straight to the cloakroom, changed his suit and shoes, found a hoodie and a pair of cotton sports casual pants, and saw a few new pairs of Nike shoes in the shoe cabinet. Just find a pair and walk out of the cloakroom.
When I came to the living room, I saw Laura lying lazily on the sofa. When I saw him coming, meowed twice. Andy put his shoes on the floor, reached out and touched his head. Pulling a look of enjoyment, squinting with eyes closed. As for the two little Dubins are on the lawn outside Ueno, they have fixed the pet door on the back door, and it is easy to enter and exit freely.
Picked up the phone and called Carl. As soon as the call was connected, Andy took the phone away from his ear. Sure enough, Carr shouted angrily at the end of the phone. After all, Andy threw Carr off last night. Yes, it's a bit unkind. As for how he came back, Andy didn't want to ask, leave him alone.
After Carl's endless complaints, Andy began to ask about the matter. When did the contract with Warner be signed? He also needed to rush back to New York as soon as possible to help his pit son's father draw votes.
Carl tells Andy that he needs to wait until Monday and Richard needs to meet on the board. After all, a movie that may invest hundreds of millions of dollars in the future is really not something he can decide by himself. He needs the support of the board. However, Richard's prestige is still very big, and it's just a sideshow. It should be possible to sign a contract in the afternoon.
Carl also told Andy that the good news is that his single sales are likely to enter the bulletin board next week. CD sales and audio downloads are very pleasing. Andy doesn't care much about getting into the bulletin board. How much money can he make? He cares.
Hanging up the phone, Andy watched the time. At 9:40, New York was three hours faster than Los Angeles. Ivana should have eaten breakfast and was preparing for a lunch break. Calling herself would definitely make her lunch break yellow. Decided to speak again in the afternoon.
Putting down the phone, Andy held little Laura in his arms, stroking the soft and smooth fur on it gently, picking up the remote control to turn on the TV, and started the boring channel changing game.
"Andy, I have prepared all the food. You can heat it in the microwave at noon. Today I will take a day off." Liu Yan came out of the kitchen and said to Andy.
Andy asked casually: "Aunt Liu, are you going home?"
"Hehe, no, I'll be back in the afternoon. Today is Sunday. The flea market in Rose Bowl is held today. I want to check it out and listen to a few old Chinese who say that although the things there are a bit old, they are second-hand, but the quality is still Very good, maybe you can exchange some antiques from heaven ... "
"Well, heavenly antiques?" Andy lowered the remote control and looked at Liu Yan to confirm.
"There are many second- and third-generation immigrant descendants who are setting up stalls and selling things left by the elderly in the family. I heard they said that some people really exchanged for good things, and they didn't know the truth."
Andy nodded thoughtfully. The American antique market is divided into three levels, auction houses, antique shops, and flea markets. Anyway, if I'm idle, I'll go for fun. There aren't many good things, but there are a lot of them. Although he doesn't know how to do it, if he touches something that his soul responds, at least it can guarantee that the thing is true or not.
"Aunt Liu, I'll go with you, and I'll go and see." Andy put Laura on the sofa and started to wear shoes.
Liu Yan smiled, put on her jacket and shoes, and saw Andy packed, then picked up her handbag and opened the door.
Get in the car and drive all the way.
After returning a few days ago, because I had already visited Chinatown in New York and was very interested in Chinatown in Los Angeles, I went there and was disappointed.
The shapes of some buildings are very heavenly, and the streets are very clean. They just don't come and go, but they look very barren. The bronze statues of Bruce Lee and Sun Cannon are particularly prominent.
Although there are more dynasties on the billboards on the street, more are from Vietnam.
It seems that because most Chinese people have moved to San Gabriel, new immigrants are even more ignorant of the old town here, and are gradually being filled by Vietnamese. Chinese have become Vietnamese settlements, and a large number of foreigners have come. Rent a house here.
However, there is an old antique shop there. The old family shop has been in operation for decades. There are many things in it, but the price is not cheap. After all, people have been in business for decades. They know the quality of antiques very well. , So the price of antiques on the shelves is still very worthwhile.
Leak detection is unlikely.
Second-hand flea market, Andy is really unfamiliar. No matter in past or present, there is no memory. Just understand that there are old things sold there, and antiques are naturally old things. As long as you do n’t understand antiques at all, it is still possible to find treasures. But that's very rare, after all, there really aren't that many stupid people in this world.
In the famous Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, northeast of Los Angeles, seeing a car parked on the spacious lawn in front of the door, people lined up in front of the window of the ticket office, and the children happily played with amusement equipment. The mouth-watering scent from the mobile dining car floats in the air. The home of this famous local football rugby team, the UCLA football team, has turned into a huge outdoor market, attracting visitors from all directions.
Entering the fence outside the stadium, there are countless tents set up in the huge parking lot, and there are all kinds of goods in it. Clothing, furniture, antiques, collectibles, and gifts filled the stalls, and vendors either yelled or bargained with buyers.
The market, called the Rose Bowl Thrift Fair, can accommodate 2,000 street vendors and nearly 50,000 customers. It is the largest flea market on the west coast of the United States.
It opens its doors on the second Sunday of every month. It is said that some big Hollywood stars such as Oscar actor Paul Newman are regulars here.
Flea markets carry cash transactions to facilitate buyers and sellers. There are strict restrictions on vendors selling goods. Traders not only have to pay booth fees ranging from tens of dollars to hundreds of dollars, but also pay taxes to relevant government departments. Traders are not allowed to sell infringing goods and sell stolen goods. Once found, they will be subject to legal action.
