After some gestures, Barry Diller asked about the result of the negotiation between Eric and Murdoch just now. Eric did not hide it, and revealed to Barry Diller that Firefly would become a shareholder of the Fox TV network.
Barry Diller's reaction after hearing the result was similar to that of Jeffrey and Robert. After repeatedly confirming that what Eric said was true, Barry Diller's face changed several times in a row, and finally he patted Eric silently. Grabbing his shoulders, he walked away with a lonely expression.
Eric could also feel Barry Diller's mood. The Fox TV network started to be established in 1986, and it has developed into the fourth largest wireless TV station in North America in just four years. Barry Diller has made great contributions to this.
But even so, Barry Diller only has less than 5% of Fox's management shares, and Eric can get 10% of Fox TV Network's shares just by relying on a TV series. Strange. However, Eric didn't mean to feel wronged for Barry Diller at all. The world has always been so unfair. The one who pays the most is not the one who gets the most in many cases.
After weaving through the crowd and dealing with a few people who said hello or struck up a conversation, Eric finally found Aniston, the little girl was chatting with Nicole happily.
"★, "Jane, what are you talking about, so happy?" Eric greeted Nicole with his eyes, then put his arms around Aniston's waist, and kissed the little girl on the cheek lightly.
Eric made such an intimate gesture in public, and Aniston shrank her neck a little shyly, and said angrily, "We're talking about girls. Why are you asking about this!"
"Oh. I'm most interested in topics between girls. Tell me quickly." Eric teased, and the hand on Aniston's waist squeezed mischievously through the thin dress Pinching the sensitive little flesh on the girl's waist caused Aniston to be coquettish again.
Nicole looked at Eric and Aniston with a smile, feeling a little jealous in her heart, but Eric raised his head at this moment, as if he felt that Nicole was a little idle, and said casually: "Nicole, I'm a little hungry , can you bring me some food?"
It might be because she had developed some habits during her time as a maid in Eric's house. Nicole nodded subconsciously. After she realized it, she just hesitated for a while, then smiled and walked to the dining table not far away.
Seeing Nicole's 'disrespectful' behavior like ordering a servant like Eric, Aniston broke away from Eric's arms in dissatisfaction: "Eric, how can you do this, hello, Nicole. Wait for me, don't listen to this guy. Just let him starve to death."
Xiao Niu chased after Nicole while shouting.
Eric was stunned for a moment. It's only been an hour since I last saw him, so why... my best friend fucked me. Didn't Xiao丨 have always been unimpressed with the heroines of her own movies
"Stupid girl, you're going to confess your heart to me if you mess around. Eric, get rid of it as soon as possible. If you continue to develop, even if you have your IQ as the basis, once you are neutralized by her genes, you may have a mental retardation."
Eric followed the voice, stretched out his hand and pressed Drew's short-cut bun, and rubbed it vigorously a few times: "You worked hard in school, and you even popped out such high-end words as genes."
Xiao Nizi yelled a few times, knowing that Eric was talking ironically, she protested dissatisfiedly: "It's night now, and I didn't skip class."
Eric grabbed the little girl by the ear, and asked: "From the girls' school in Pasadena, northeast of Los Angeles, to Malibu, it takes more than 50 kilometers to go through the entire urban area. With the road conditions in Los Angeles, it takes two hours to drive. You may not be able to come here, tell me, when did you come here without skipping class?"
Drew could only tilt his head slightly because Eric pulled his ears, but Xiaozui refused to admit defeat and argued: "Who would be so stupid to walk in the city, don't you know that there is such a thing as a highway? It takes less than an hour for Sadina to get on Highway 101 and turn to Mulholland Drive. Oops... it hurts!"
With Eric's slight force, the girl immediately closed her mouth, her eyes became watery after blinking a few times, and she looked at Eric begging for mercy.
The people around are looking at the movement here curiously, and some people who don't know the situation will ask a few words to their companions, and then look at Eric with a bit of ambiguity in their eyes . Aniston, who was about to walk over with Nicole holding a small plate, saw Eric pulling Drew's ears, snorted coldly, pulled Nicole and said, "Nicole, let's go, Let him starve to death."
Nicole hesitated for a moment, then showed a helpless look to Eric, who had already seen herself and Aniston, followed the little girl, turned and left.
Eric was about to continue to teach Xiao Nizi a few words, but the person who was arguing against Eric's "child abuse" still bravely appeared.
"Hey, Eric, how can you treat a girl so rudely!" Elizabeth, who came with Julia, raised her eyebrows and opened Eric's hand, pulling Drew to her side.
Xiao Nizi hid behind Elizabeth, and stuck out her tongue at Eric in a funny way.
Eric didn't know whether Elizabeth really didn't know the situation or was just pretending to be stupid. However, since someone interfered, he couldn't continue to teach Xiao Nizi.
"Liz, what's the matter?"
Elizabeth thought that Eric would explain a few words, but when she heard the other party say so, she had to say: "Julia is leaving, why don't you give it to me?"
Julia, who was standing behind Elizabeth, didn't expect the girl to say that, and hurriedly tugged Elizabeth's dress.
Eric glanced at Julia, and seeing Julia's eyes dodge, he knew that it was Elizabeth's own assertion, but he nodded briskly: "Okay." Eric glared at the girl: "Don't run, come with me."
"Julia, it's not ten o'clock yet, why did you go back so early?" Eric asked without words as he walked to the parking lot outside the villa.
Julia opened her mouth hesitantly: "I..."
"Julia is not feeling well today, why are you asking so clearly?" Seeing the girl's embarrassed look, Elizabeth immediately made a rescue from the side.
Eric nodded knowingly, but this action made Julia's face turn slightly red.
After a few people arrived at the parking lot, Eric said, "Julia, can you do me a favor?"
"Huh?" Julia looked at Eric strangely.
Eric pulled the little girl who was behind the three of them and was playing with her fingers boredly: "Let Drew stay at your place for one night, and help me send her to school tomorrow, is that okay?"
"No, I won't go." Xiao Nizi yelled out immediately, seeing Eric's unquestionable eyes, she had to nod aggrievedly. She also understood that Eric might be taking Aniston home tonight, and it was too likely that he would allow himself to make trouble.
Watching the girl get into the co-pilot of Julia's car, Eric explained a few words to Julia worriedly before letting them leave.
When Julia drove Xiao Nizi away from the gate of the manor, Eric did not return to the villa, but sat down on a bench in the nearby small garden.
Elizabeth hesitated for a moment, then came over and sat down next to Eric. Seeing Eric take out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and light it, Elizabeth opened her mouth slightly. Realizing that she was outside, she didn't stop her. .
Eric lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, exhaled light blue smoke, then turned his head and asked, "Liz, what's the matter?"
"Are you distressed?" Elizabeth asked instead of answering. Seeing Eric's bewildered expression, Elizabeth added teasingly, "Aren't you overwhelmed to deal with so many women, so you hide here and smoke?"
Eric smiled: "How is it possible? I don't have many women. Besides, movies and women are the two major pursuits of my life. It's too late for me to enjoy them. How can I be troubled by this?"
It was the first time Elizabeth heard such a straightforward point of view, she rolled her eyes and said, "Your pursuit is really...vulgar."
Eric ignored Elizabeth's accusations, and slowly enjoyed the cool sea breeze in the middle of the night under the dim street lights with a cigarette in his hand, intending to stay quietly for a while. Originally, I thought that Elizabeth would leave if she couldn't stand the deserted scene, but after she finished smoking a cigarette, the girl was still sitting beside him in a godlike manner, which made Eric feel a little uncomfortable. This woman stays here inexplicably, what exactly she wants to do, after pondering for a while, Eric tentatively asked: "Liz, your father forced you to be my director's assistant, how about me and Murdo?" Mr. Ke said, let’s forget about this matter?”
"Do you hate me?" Elizabeth asked again.
Eric shook his head: "I never hate beautiful women."
When Elizabeth heard Eric's words, her heart beat faster for no reason, but her mouth was still unrelenting: "You really don't forget to be glib all the time, you really are a playboy."
Eric heard this comment, turned his head and leaned lazily on the back of the bench, unscrupulously admired the girl's graceful body wrapped in a dress, and showed a smirk provocatively: "Then why don't you run away quickly?" far away."
Under Eric's aggressive gaze, the girl almost wanted to cover her chest subconsciously, but in the end she suppressed the impulse and refused to admit defeat: "You narcissist, why should I run away?"
Eric glanced at the girl's feet that had been easily folded together, but now they had already stepped on the ground. He didn't speak any more, took out another cigarette and lit it, sorting out all the things tonight in his heart, He glanced around boredly. (To be continued..)
