Chapter 151: The wine meeting

In the wide hall, well-dressed gentlemen and ladies sat around the round table, applauding the witty words of the men in the center of the stage from time to time.

However, this middle-aged man is not the butler of the United States, but the host of one of ABC TV's most popular talk show: Jon Stewart.

...Then the father found the president of the World Bank and said: I can recommend a vice president for you; and the president replied: I have enough vice presidents; the father immediately said: But this young man is Bill Gates' sn in law!The president immediately said: That's great!Look, this is how many businesses in the world come into being.

Although Stewart's jokes were filled with laughter and applause, and the person who was teased also smiled and shook his head and applauded.

Bill Gates is not the first person to be teased by him. Before him, countless people have been commented on him with verbal comments, and the Clintons have not escaped.

Although there were many celebrities on site and there were live broadcasts on TV stations, the tone of the routine press conference was relaxed. Choosing someone to come to the talk show was also a routine program, and as long as the topic was not too much, you can talk about it.

But he must be the last person to be teased by Stewart. After telling this joke, the routine talk show ended, and the TV station also suspended the broadcast, and the next time was the free activity.

Congratulations, Mr. President, although it seems like a little bit of congratulations now, it is always more serious than a phone call or a card, right?

With a bow tied on the neckline, Adrian, in a black formal outfit, shook hands with Clinton politely and said in a serious and solemn tone.

Thank you, Mr. Adrian, it's not too late.Clinton's face was red and looked proud.

He is indeed qualified to be proud, and in addition to being the second Democratic president to be successfully re-elected after Roosevelt, he is also very lucky.

With the disintegration of the Red Empire and the end of the Cold War, people began to focus more on life. With a keen awareness of the rise of the IT industry and seizing the opportunity to promote the construction of the information highway, the United States never seemed to have been as good as it is now, and all this has become his credit, but...

Adrian glanced at the surroundings with a quiet expression. He had noticed it before when he was in the White House, but unfortunately he could not see the famous White House intern.

Who is this person?Clinton looked at the beautiful girl holding his arm, and his eyes lit up.

Let me introduce it, this is Charlize Theron, my assistant secretary.Adrian immediately introduced.

Like him, Charlize also wore a black translucent wide-shoulder evening gown with long gloves and some jewelry decorations. He looked mysterious and beautiful, but at the same time he looked dignified and generous.

The reason she accompanied him to the cocktail party was because...

How to say, it is an honor to come to the White House to attend a dinner. Even if the dinner is not held in the White House, they are now in the Hilton Hotel on Wall Street. The White House is so big that it cannot entertain so many guests. If it is not arranged in the hotel, where should it be arranged?

Is it possible to hold a BBQ on the grass?

Although there is indeed a US president who has done this.

But the question is, who is suitable for Adrian to bring?

In terms of fame and qualifications, Julia has basically regained the throne of the box office queen, and entering the 20 million club is just around the corner. It is okay to come to the cocktail party alone; but in terms of intimacy, Kate has even given birth to a daughter, and no one is closer than her and Adrian; but to be considerate and obedient, Monica and Sarah are the best candidates.

Besides, even if the other women are not suitable, they will inevitably be jealous. This is like spending an important festival with whom. If the choice is not good enough and there is no persuasion, it will cause unnecessary trouble. This is the trouble of many women. But Adrian has always liked this trouble, but more importantly, the routine cocktail party is live on TV. No matter who Adrian brings to attend, he will probably wait for the headlines of gossip the next day. This is the most troublesome thing. So after thinking about it, he had to choose Charlize without taking anybody. He had no words to take his secretary and assistant to attend, right?

It seems that Mr. Adrian is really worthy of being a workaholic, and he still brings his own secretary here.

Clinton said half-jokingly, then reached out to Charlize: I'm glad you were at the cocktail party, Miss Charlize, hope all this will satisfy you.Frankly speaking, you are really beautiful, like a flawless pearl.

Thank you for your compliment, Mr. President.Charlize took his hand calmly.

Unfortunately, I disagree with you, Mr. President.

Adrian smiled and inserted it in. The pearls were not enough to describe Charlie's beauty. I usually call her "South African Diamond".Just to say, she is from South Africa.

Yeah?This is indeed a very appropriate adjective, and Mr. Adrian is worthy of being an outstanding artist.Speaking of this, Clinton actually squeezed his eyes.

Adrian was slightly stunned, but then he understood what he meant. Since Clinton knew his title of workaholic, he naturally would not be unaware of those romantic affairs.

He was not a good man at first, and the White House intern was just one of many dewy lovers, so he naturally felt a sense of mutual appreciation that belonged only to men.

Obviously, some things are not done secretly enough, but fortunately no one questioned me with evidence, otherwise I wouldn’t know how bad it would be if I had to deny it?

Adrian smiled and replied incorrectly, giving him a meaningful look. A hint of astonishment flashed across Clinton's face.

To be honest, his impeachment was completely unrestrained, and political interns providing sexual services to certain big names is also one of the unspoken rules in the political arena. Of course, these are also under the guise of a one-night stand.

You know, Clinton was impeached for lying, not playing with a White House intern, who has a well-known person who has few lovers?

Bill Gates also has a so-called confidante.

But who made him violate the interests of some people?

It is normal to be designed like this. As Claude said, the US president is just a big housekeeper, and it is not particularly difficult to get him to step down.

However, there are also people behind Clinton, such as the popular IT companies that benefited from the Information Highway Construction Act, and the public's feelings about him are also good, and all the factors combined, so the impeachment case was finally left unresolved.

This is why Adrian gave Clinton such a vague reminder. Even if the other party is not reminded by him, it would not be too sad. Isn’t selling the other party’s things a thing he always likes to do?

I think Miss Charlize must be very capable, so that Mr. Adrian would bring her with him.A voice came in from the side, and it was not necessary to see it. The one who spoke was Clinton's wife Hillary.

She said with a smile, then glanced at her husband carelessly, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in Clinton's eyes, but he adjusted immediately.

It's Ah, I often say to Charlie, I can't imagine what it would be like without her, she is my best assistant.

Adrian said, holding Charlize's hand on his arm and patted it gently, and then suddenly changed: Just like Mr. President, if you were not as good-powered, Mr. President would have had a lot of more things.

Who knows?Hillary said with a smile, but the pride she revealed in her eyes showed that her compliments for Adrian were very helpful.

Clinton didn't say anything further and quickly left with his wife.

The President seems to be a little afraid of his wife.

Looking at the departure of the American chief executive, Charlize suddenly said this, and then looked at Adrian thoughtfully: What you said should mean, right?

I have to say that she is really smart, especially after staying with Adrian for so long, she still understands some of his habits.

Probably, Hillary is also a very powerful woman.

Adrian avoided the question behind, said in a non-disputed tone, and then laughed when he thought of something: Do you know, there is a very interesting joke about them.

oh?

One day, the president and his wife went back to their hometown for vacation. The car they drove was out of gas, so they went to a gas station to refuel.Unexpectedly, a middle-aged man working in this gas station shop turned out to be Hillary's college classmate. And they had dated, chatted and laughed and sighed, and then the president and his wife left the gas station.After walking for a long time, Clinton said with emotion, "Look, my dear, how important the situation in life is. If you married him, you don't know what the situation will be like now."Do you know how Hillary answered?

How to answer?

Hillary replied that if I had married him, the one who sat in the White House would have been him, and you would have served passers-by at the gas station!

Charlize was stunned for several seconds before covering his mouth and giggling.

This is too mean.She smiled and said, Ms. Hillary probably wouldn't say that, right?

If it were private, she would definitely say so. In fact, Clinton did play a big role in entering the White House.

Adrian shook his head and said, Hillary is an absolute strong woman.

Strong woman... Charlize whispered several times thoughtfully, and then suddenly changed the topic: By the way, when did you give me the title of "South African Diamond"?

Just now, the President thought it was very appropriate. Are you anything else to be dissatisfied with?Adrian asked half-jokingly, isn’t South Africa rich in the best natural diamonds?

Adrians just now saw it. Since his confession that day, Charlize returned to his previous appearance in front of him, calm, rational and enthusiastic, and always arranged everything quietly, including dates with women.

Speaking of which, the relationship between the two is also very delicate, similar to Kate, and she is also a special existence, so even if the words Adrian said were more for comfort, the sentence that hoped she could witness the birth of her empire was not fake.

In this way, Charlize's positioning was a little troublesome. Adrian really wanted to let her stay by his side from beginning to end, but this was definitely impossible. Although Charlize had a little woman's side, he also had an independent and special side. If he completely erased it, he would lose her traits, but now he seemed to be a little arrogant.

The cocktail party continued with a relaxed tone, no different from the average cocktail party. At most, it was somewhat similar to the campaign fundraising party because it had a political flavor.

Adrian saw many familiar faces, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger. It’s not surprising that it is normal for him to think about his wife and recall his future.

Maybe I should invite you and a few of the best action stars to produce a huge action movie.Adrian said in a joking tone after talking to him for a few words.

That's great, I'll definitely participate.Schwarzenegger also answered casually.

However, Adrian did not decide the matter while the iron was hot. He was joking, and Schwarzenegger was joking too.

Besides, "The Suicide Squad" is just an idea now, just set this foreshadowing first.

However, from the other two people, he received a slightly surprised news.

You mean, you are planning to really start filming the prequel of Star Wars, George?Adrian asked in a puzzled tone that seemed incredible.

Of course, do I look like a lie?Lux said pretending to be displeased, and then he was held in his arms by Adrian.

It should have been done like this long ago. Do you know how long we have been waiting?Adrian pounded his back hard, making Lucas roll his eyes while Spielberg laughed.

OK OK, boy, if this continues, I will be broken by you.Lucas complained after breaking free.

I can't blame you for starting now, it's been so many years.Adrian looked like it was your fault.

When will the shooting start?How are the preliminary preparations done?Probably when was the story?He asked quickly, as if he was a fanatical Star Wars fan.

Don't worry, it's just started.

Lucas quickly said that it was a story about Darth Vader, which was Anakin Skywalker's youth, including how he was accepted as a disciple by Quigang King, how he fell in love with Queen Amidala, and how he fell into the dark side of the Force, etc. I plan to make it into a trilogy.

Lucas explained.

So there are already suitable actors?Adrian asked naturally.

How is it possible? The others are okay, but the two protagonists are more troublesome. Anakin is okay. In the first part, he is just a child. We have enough time to select, but Queen Amidala is more troublesome.

Speaking of this, Lucas sighed. According to the settings, Amidala was still very young when she became the queen. Although she was smart, she was not mature and independent enough. I need the actor to express her contradictions that she is striving for independence but cannot be completely independent for the time being. Moreover, she must be very young, which is not easy.

Yeah?Adrie held her chin and thought for a moment, maybe, I can recommend an actor to you.

oh?Lucas, who wanted to say something, showed a look of surprise, and Spielberg, who had not interrupted, showed a look of curiosity.

She is very young but also very good at acting. She has tried some of the roles you mentioned, she is experienced and quite smart.

Adrian said with a smile, with a light flashing in his eyes, but I can't be completely sure. After all, I just heard from your rough description. Maybe we can discuss it in another time?

no problem.

Lucas immediately said, "In fact, I originally wanted to talk to you about scripts. You are the gold medal screenwriter and also provided Steven with an excellent story like "Save Private Ryan". Maybe you can make the prequel trilogy fuller."

Great, I'm happy to serve.Adrian agreed immediately.

This conversation was both an accident or not. He had long been calculating the start time of the prequel of "Star Wars", which was Natalie's famous work.

Although he is here, it is not difficult to make her famous, but it is difficult to reach the height of the Queen of Star Wars in popularity. Natalie is basically the credit of the prequel of "Star Wars" when she becomes a household name in the United States. Don't underestimate the Americans' fanatical pursuit of Lucas' space opera.

But "Star Wars" is Lucas's work after all. He has been using this work for a lifetime. Adrian couldn't get in any way. He didn't expect to encounter an opportunity here. I have to say that his luck is so good.

I believe that with his relationship with Spielberg and his reputation and connections among Jews established through "Schindler's List", it will not be too difficult to help Natalie get this role.

After talking to Lux and Spielberg for a few more words, Adrian took Charlize away. Although Charlize didn't speak from beginning to end, Adrian believed that she had already recorded it and would start making arrangements for herself when she returned to Los Angeles.

He took a casual look at Charlize, and Adrian then walked to the far left corner, which had one of his most important goals tonight.

Two middle-aged people of the same age who were only a few months apart were debating there. Although they seemed very harmonious, both of them were basically smiling and their voices were not high, but judging from their expressions that seemed to be the other person in their eyes, the debate was not simple, and there were many people watching the fun.

Both of them were wearing glasses, but the man on the left had a good manners. Although he wore a tie instead of a bow tie, he had a modest smile and looked like a scholar. He could not realize his ruthlessness in business just from his appearance.

The one on the right has thick hair, but even in such an occasion, she still refuses to shave off her beard, and is wearing a round-neck sweater that seems to have remained unchanged for thousands of years, with her brows frowning as if she is ready to fight at any time.

That's right, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are the two of the most powerful figures in the IT industry.
