Back to 80: My Literary Life

Back in San Francisco, Fang Minghua met Li Li and talked about the premiere in New York. Of course, he also talked about helping Liu Xiaoli find a house.

Li Li had heard of Liu Xiaoli when she was chatting with her cousin, and she said that she recognized her daughter as her goddaughter.

Li Li still sympathized with a divorced woman working hard in the United States with her young daughter, so she said: "Since you agreed, find her as soon as possible and let Phillips work more to find a good one." Cheap house.”

Fang Minghua naturally wouldn't go looking for it on his own, and would definitely ask him to be his personal financial advisor - now he vaguely smells like a personal butler.

So I called Phillips and told him that he wanted to buy a house and the specific requirements.

"I watched it for a friend." Fang Minghua added at the end.

"OK, I'll follow your instructions right away." Phillips agreed immediately, and now he felt relieved.

As a boss, why would you buy a 1 million villa now?

It’s so demeaning!

Even if I buy it for my lover, it’s a bit too little.

I guess they are just ordinary friends.

Of course, I will never forget to report my work.

"Boss, I went to Miami for inspection some time ago and found a manor with an area of ​​about 45 acres and a pretty good location. There is also a 300-acre ranch next to it that is also for sale at a low price. If you are interested, I will accompany you to take a look when I am free. ?”

Do you want me to go graze?

Fang Minghua discovered that this Phillips had a soft spot for buying land and housing.

"Okay, let's talk when you're free."

The road show of "Heroes" has caused a whirlwind in the United States, with TV, newspapers, magazines and the Internet reporting on it. Of course, there is also a factor behind Warner Bros., which is the main distributor after all.

The road show went to San Francisco. Fang Minghua was invited to participate in the road show at the Castro Theater in San Francisco. The next stop was also the last stop of the road show - Los Angeles.

Fang Minghua originally didn't plan to go, but Wu Tianmin and Zhang Yimou strongly invited him to go, saying that if you participate in the road show, even more media reporters will come.

Well, Fang Minghua couldn't stand the entanglement between the two and had no choice but to agree.

Just then, Phillips called and said that the house had been found and asked Fang Minghua or her friends to come and take a look.

Fang Minghua called Liu Xiaoli in New York to explain the situation. Liu Xiaoli asked him to go to Los Angeles to help her with advice.

If he hadn't gone to Los Angeles to participate in a road show, Fang Minghua would have definitely refused - as long as you are satisfied with the house you live in, what's the use of me going to take a look?

But since I wanted to go there now, I wanted to help, so I agreed.

At noon on July 3, Fang Minghua got on the plane to Los Angeles again, but this time he was not alone but with the road show team.

After arriving in Los Angeles and exiting the waiting hall, the staff of the North American branch of Shengshi Film and Television had already prepared two 20-seat Toyota Coasters, and took the entire road show team of more than 30 people away and checked into the hotel directly.

The road show was planned to be held on the next night. Wu Tianmin and Zhang Yimou were busy with the road show. Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung and other celebrities wanted to hang out in Los Angeles, but Fang Minghua was not interested and declined their invitation.

To be honest, before I came to this era, I felt very mysterious when I saw these popular celebrities in Hong Kong. After coming to this era, I have seen a lot of them, but it is actually like that.

As for Los Angeles, I don’t want to go shopping on a hot day. Why not live in your own manor, where you can enjoy the cool air and watch the stars at night?

OK, that's it.

So he made a phone call immediately. More than an hour later, a brand-new Audi A8 came to the door of the hotel. Fang Minghua called Wu Tianmin again and said that he would not be staying at the hotel that night. He asked the staff to help him return it, and then got into the Audi A8. And go.

It was almost six o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at Amber Manor. When we arrived at the door of the villa, we didn't have to open the door ourselves. A man in his fifties opened the car door and greeted him respectfully.

He is Alvin Callum York, the manor's steward. It is said that he has worked here for more than twenty years. Counting Fang Minghua, the manor has had three owners, but his position is stable.

"Mr. Fang, you go take a shower first, dinner is ready."

Fang Minghua nodded and got out of the car door.

After taking a shower and eating, Fang Minghua made another cup of tea and sat on the balcony to watch the sunset. He first called Li Li to report that she was safe. After thinking about it, he called Liu Xiaoli and said that he had arrived in Los Angeles. What did he ask her? Time to come.

"I have arrived at the departure hall now. It should be ten o'clock in the evening when I arrive in Los Angeles. Sissi is coming too. I told Director Wu that she will also participate in the road show tomorrow night."

The fourth "Harry Potter" movie has been completed, so Liu Yifei naturally has nothing to do, so it's a good thing that she comes to help support "Heroes".

It's just ten o'clock in the evening, which seems a bit late.

"In this case, for safety's sake, I will send someone to pick you up." Fang Minghua said.

"That's great. I originally wanted to call Director Wu and ask him to send someone from Shengshi Film and Television to pick him up, but I was worried that everyone in the company would be busy preparing for tomorrow's road show, which would be too troublesome." Liu Xiaoli said excitedly on the phone.

"Send me a text message with your flight and the exact time to Los Angeles, and I will arrange to text you back," Fang Minghua said.

"OK, thanks."

Fang Minghao went downstairs to find York, told York about Liu Xiaoli's situation, and asked him to send a driver to pick her up at the airport.

"Don't worry, I'll ask Logan to pick her up. He's very skilled and will ensure your friend's safety." York replied immediately.

Fang Minghua nodded, turned upstairs, sent a text message to Liu Xiaoli, and stopped worrying about it. Someone would take care of it.

At 10:30 p.m., Fang Minghua took another shower, sat on the big bed and read a book, and then went to bed.

Fang Minghua was half asleep, and suddenly heard someone knocking on her door. She had to put on her pajamas, opened the door and saw that it was the housekeeper York standing at the door.

"Mr. Fang, Ms. Liu and her daughter have been picked up. What do you think of the room arrangement?"

Why did you bring Liu Xiaoli here?

Oh.

I didn't make it clear just now. I thought she would live with the roadshow team.

Also, why do you look at me like that?

"Arrange it in the guest room." Fang Minghua replied unhappily.

"Okay." York left in a hurry.

Since Liu Xiaoli and her daughter were already here, Fang Minghua couldn't go back to sleep, so she put on her clothes and went downstairs. She saw Jack calling them into the villa, and someone was naturally helping to carry their luggage.

"Wow, godfather, this place is so big, is this your home?" Liu Yifei asked excitedly when she saw Fang Minghua.

Fang Minghua nodded.

Liu Xiaoli was also very surprised, but unlike her daughter, she didn't show her thoughts on her face, and just smiled faintly.
