At more than 4:00 p.m., when Dooling was ready to have dinner in advance, Scott came. Not only did he come, he also brought two people, a man who looked ordinary and wore glasses, a little silly, and a coquettish woman.
If Dolin often watches movies, he will know that this woman is a popular female star at present. Her name is Selin. Before people know her, they don''t know her through movies, but three other things.
Figure, gossip, topic!
She has a body that many women will envy, which is in line with the aesthetics of the vast majority of men. Women with such a body will certainly have good luck. Then there are the interesting stories of her changing 17 boyfriends in four years and attacking each other with other public figures in the media. Until the past two years, someone spent a lot of energy on her and praised her, those things gradually disappeared and replaced her roles and performances.
"Would you like to have dinner together?", Dooling shook hands with Scott. He hadn''t seen this guy for some time, and he didn''t pick him up with Horton this time. As Dooling withdrew his hand, he took Scott into the side hall. After arranging for the three to sit down, Dooling looked at Scott, "come on, what can I do for you? I''ll consider it as appropriate in terms of our very pleasant cooperative relationship in the past."
Scott didn''t seem to care about what Turin said at all. He knew that Turin was a very serious person, but sometimes joked, "this is the way you receive old friends. It''s so sad!". The atmosphere in the room was lively and peaceful. Scott''s smile gradually converged after a few smiles. He introduced two guests to Turin.
"This is Mr. Monte, one of the five major film companies at present and the gold medal producer of winter flower film. If you have seen a film... Sorry, I remember. You don''t see a film. In short, Mr. Monte is very powerful. All his 11 films have achieved great success. He is known as a ''lighthouse'' in the industry and can bring enough returns to investors!"
Monty took the initiative to stand up. He pushed the spectacle frame, bent over and reached out to Dolin opposite the tea table and shook it. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Dolin."
Dooling nodded, too, and then Scott introduced the very special woman, Celine.
He has been working in the city hall. He often contacts people from all walks of life on behalf of Houston, and has developed a eloquent mouth. Originally, Celine, who has no foundation and has a bad private life, has become a holy girl like a white lotus in Scott''s mouth. Selin also took the initiative to shake hands with Turin, and then sat back very reserved.
Du Lin looked at the woman more. When he shook hands just now, he obviously felt that the woman scratched his palm with her fingers. If he didn''t feel wrong, the woman was hinting to him that she was afraid of ghosts and other dirty things. As we all know, actors like the heroine have a single room. When night falls, she will be afraid, so I hope someone can accompany her through the terrible night.
And now the weather is not very good, with heavy snow. It would be better if we could encourage each other to spend the night and keep warm together at the same time.
But it''s a pity that Doolin is also afraid of ghosts, so he doesn''t go out at night.
Celine didn''t get enough response. She bit her lips in disappointment. When she did this little action, she was very charming. The producer and Scott actually saw it, but they didn''t see it.
In fact, Celine has more connotation than her performance. She knows freina. The two have cooperated in a film, which is a passerby''s best friend who looks like a background board to set off the protagonist''s extraordinary and refined. She also knew what happened to freina later. To be honest, having a young and rich man was also a good choice, at least much better than the guy who was enough to be her father.
"That''s right!" Scott drew everyone''s attention to himself, "Mr. Monte, they are making a romantic love film and have signed an agreement with the city hall. We will help them with their problems and difficulties in making the film to the greatest extent. They need a beautiful building to support the romance in the film, and your manor is obviously the most suitable place."
"That''s right, Mr. Dooling." Monty''s brown hair is a little messy. Today he wears a brown red and white line plaid coat and wide edged eyes, like those slovenly professors in the college. He pushes the spectacle frame and looks at Dooling sincerely, "When our film is released, it will bring you and your estate a great reputation. I believe this is what you want, and we will pay a generous reward to thank you for your generosity."
Durin thought for a moment and shook his head. "I''m not short of money and don''t want people to know me, so I''m sorry."
"Really?" , Monte''s face showed a disappointed expression. He liked the manor on the seaside cliff very much. When shooting from the other side, the manor buildings were hidden in the shade. At the same time, there was a dark blue sea to set off the nobility and mystery of the manor, which was very consistent with the artistic conception in the script. However, he also knew who Turin was and refused to let him on the phone He found Scott, and Scott also had a problem. The problem has not been solved, that is, there is really no way to solve it.
They left soon. Scott stayed. He sighed first, and then said with a bitter smile, "ask a very presumptuous question. If one day I want to go to Otis to take refuge in you, will you take me in?"
His words made Turin a little confused. Scott had always been Horton''s most powerful assistant in his impression. On some occasions in the past, Horton told others with a hint that if he left illian, he would nominate Scott to replace him as mayor. Many people know his idea and think it is the best choice. After all, the probability of occurrence in the whole city is the highest. It is not the mayor Horton who is familiar with everyone, but Scott who represents him running outside every day.
Based on Scott''s understanding of illian and the business community here, it is definitely good news if he can become mayor.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
Scott leaned back on the sofa and rubbed his face a little decadent. "I know what you like to say. In fact, sometimes it''s not a good thing to be too good!" after saying this sentence, which was obviously self praise, he laughed first, "Can you believe that Houston plans to take me with him after successfully running for governor, which is completely different from what we said before."
"He lied to me!"
In the final analysis, it is still because of power. If the mayor and the governor''s secretary are simply divided by the party status, they are actually the same. Many governor''s secretaries later become mayors or congressmen. There are not a few, but there is too much difference between the two in terms of actual power.
The governor''s secretary is always just a secretary, not the one who really makes decisions. Others take you as one thing and look at the governor''s face. What is the governor''s secretary if you encounter that kind of unambiguous official?
The mayor is different. He is in power and the respect of a city. He can manage and build a city according to his own ideas and political aspirations. Is this what the governor''s secretary can do?
Scott has done so well over the years, which makes Houston so comfortable. He has done all the good and bad things that are difficult to do. Let Houston just sit in the office and sign, or adjust the development direction of the city, and teach Scott to complete the rest. With such a capable subordinate, Houston is certainly unwilling to let go, so he plans to take him away Take me to work in eisenas.
Plus, he had a good relationship with Dulin, and he could play in the drama to avoid conflicts between himself and Dulin, which gave him more reasons to bring Scott to the city.
Originally, these were Houston''s own ideas, but he was a little uneasy after seeing Dooling yesterday. He called Harry to verify some things. As a result, Scott heard some of them. In addition, Houston did not continue to hint that Scott would take over in the past six months, which immediately made Scott suspicious. Then he made a smart verification To put it simply, it was loyalty. As a result, Horton took it seriously and immediately told him he was willing to take him with him.
This is not Holden''s stupidity. The two have been together for six years, they are too familiar with each other, and their daily cooperation is full of tacit understanding. Holden didn''t think Scott was testing him, so he said something he shouldn''t say.
Scott, who felt cheated, was immediately out of balance. In recent years, he tried his best to work for Houston, not because Houston had such personality charm, nor did he have something beyond friendship between the two people. It was just that Scott wanted to be a mayor, it was power!
Now everything he worked for has come to naught, so he began to find his way.
Dooling is not his best choice, but it is his best choice at the same time.
From the political level, Dooling does not have the necessary conditions to become a high-level Imperial officer. He is not a graduate of the Royal College, has no terrorist communication network, and is not of noble origin. His future in politics is extremely limited, which is a bad aspect. However, Dooling is the best choice because Scott knows Dooling. What is the biggest difference between Dooling and Horton Because he can let go.
As long as he gets Turin''s trust, he can deliver all aspects without major events. Scott, who has been enough as a secretary, wants to have some practical power, so Turin is the best choice.
