BXBX NOVEL Chapter 239: Life is like a drama, drama is like life
In a short period of more than ten hours, Roland personally finalized six big deals, learned about the development direction of a giant, confirmed the group\'s expansion ideas, and decided on the path he will take in the future.
Hammer after hammer to buy the decision to leave the hand, one after another billions or billions of transactions are decided by him personally, that kind of hearty feeling makes him very comfortable, waiting for him to walk around in glory When he came to the living room humming a little tune, James was the only one in the spacious and bright hall, leaning on the sofa and watching TV with a smile on his face.
"What are you looking at?" Roland in a good mood leaned over and sat with James.
While speaking, he also looked at the TV, "NBC? "Friends Season 4"?"
"You are already in the twelfth grade, and you are still watching soap operas here?"
"Have you chosen a university yet?"
If, following Roland\'s arrival, James twisted his buttocks and got out of the way when he heard him curiously ask about the TV content, and wanted to share happiness with Roland, then now, there is only disgust on the smiling face.
Turning his head to look at Roland, James rolled his eyes with that casual smile, "Hi! Roland! You can\'t talk, won\'t you shut up? It\'s Christmas holiday! It\'s time for vacation! You told me again What study?"
After complaining a few words, James changed his tone again and said with a little pride: "However, you don\'t have to worry about the university! Didn\'t expect that! I have already received the admission letter from Johns Hopkins University. arrive!"
Since the beginning of 1996, when preparations for "Titanic" began, the time Roland spent at home has been very limited.
During this period, the little chubby man who was bullied by him at the beginning has already lost weight successfully. With the weight loss, the height has increased, and the round face is now sharp and angular, although it is not as strong as Roland\'s fingernails. cool but...
The genes of the Olsen family are all good. If James is put in the school as a school girl, he will still be able to be a good one.
Of course, he is not an idiot who has nothing but gold and jade.
Along with his appearance, his academic performance also increased.
Maybe it was David\'s decision not to let him fall in love with Roland that stimulated him, or maybe it was Roland\'s use of money to hire tutors that really worked. In short, shortly after Roland left home, James\' academic performance was like a rocket. , straight up.
And after receiving the summer camp admission ticket from Johns Hopkins University from Kate on Christmas 1996, he told Carlos, the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics of the Medical School, who was in charge of lecturing in the summer camp. The topic of \'immortality\' mentioned by Professor Al-Grade had a strong interest. After striking up a conversation with him, the two had a pleasant conversation. Then, after seeing the talent displayed by James, Carol -Professor Greder helped him and got a notice of exemption from the test.
"Professor Carroll said that I have a very high talent in the field of biology, and she expects me to enter Johns Hopkins University and then join their research project team..."
Before, when Roland mentioned his study, James would cringe, but now, with the achievements he is proud of, his waist has become much tougher. Looking at the guy who proudly narrated the professor\'s evaluation, Roland He was indeed a little envious in his heart, even though he was rich, but he still envied those who had the brains to study academically.
After all, science and technology are the primary productive forces!
Of course, envy is envy. In front of James, Roland will not admit his shortcomings. Seeing James\'s hype appearance, Roland coughed and changed the subject, "Then...David agrees to you looking for a girlfriend? ?”
"I think he should want you to stay in business, and after reading it, you can take over your own company."
"What biology are you studying now, he should be very angry, so... about your girlfriend..."
"Shouldn\'t they be there either?"
Roland\'s words were like a basin of cold water, pouring chills into the heart of the eloquent James.
He glared at Roland, fully understanding what it means to visit relatives and friends during the New Year and festivals in that indescribable country in the East.
That’s right, after learning what **** field of biology James chose, David, who hoped his son would inherit the family property, almost died of anger... Our family is engaged in construction projects! Not genetic engineering!
You picked the wrong one!
Because of the career choice, the father and son had conflicts. Before reconciliation, James was not in the mood to find a girlfriend. Therefore, he is really single as Roland said.
However, it is a very embarrassing thing in America for a bachelor who is about to turn eighteen!
Even if James regarded Roland as his brother, he didn\'t want to admit such an embarrassing thing, so he coughed and said, "What girlfriend? What girlfriend? What girlfriend? How can having a girlfriend be better than learning? hapiness?"
"I love studying, learning loves me, girlfriends and so on, only a superficial guy like you will find them!"
Duplicity made Roland happy to hear the duplicity, and the pretended serious expression made Roland laugh outright.
Leaning on the sofa, he put his legs on the coffee table, put his arms on James\' shoulders, and continued to fight in a slightly provocative tone, "Study is study, girlfriend is girlfriend! These two can\'t be mixed together!"
"No matter how much you like studying, you still have to have a normal life, and finding a girlfriend can improve your quality of life!"
"Just like I am now, I don\'t care about everything in life..."
"What do I eat for three meals a day? What clothes should I wear to go out? These most troublesome things are far away from me!"
"Every day, someone will accompany you to exercise! Every day, someone will accompany you to travel! Every day, someone will accompany you to work!"
"Imagine, every morning, you can enjoy a sweet wake-up service..."
"Imagine again, every night, someone gets into your arms to say good night..."
While Roland was waving his right hand and showing off his beautiful life like a country, he had been squinting at James, who was quietly pretending to beep, when Roland suddenly saw a figure walking down the stairs.
When the young woman in a white dress was leaning on the stairs with her arms around her arms and was looking at the living room playfully, James, who thought Roland was showing off too much, suddenly asked, "No... Roland... "
"Don\'t take me for Liqi!"
"I\'ve clearly heard that Kate is very strict with you? Does she even check her mobile phone?"
"And you are not allowed to smoke and drink?"
What?
How do you know this, you little brat?
Hearing James\' question, Roland\'s words were paused, and a trace of doubt flashed across his face, but the next second he withdrew his hands and took out his pockets to prove himself, "Who are you listening to nonsense? Isn\'t my mobile phone right here? ?"
‘Extraordinary, fortunately I had a phone call with Steven today. \'
Not only that, he also leaned forward and put his face close to James, "Smell, you smell, I just finished drinking and smoking with your dad! I do this at home, you see her Any comments?"
‘Fortunately, David gave me a cigarette, otherwise my reputation in front of James would be ruined! \'
While Roland was proving himself, James, who had been paying attention to the stairs, saw the young woman move with his own eyes.
Watching the fun, he didn\'t think it was a big deal, so he added fuel to the fire, and continued to ask: "Then...you mean...the rumors are all false?"
"Of course! The reason why rumors are called rumors is because rumors have no factual basis!"
Roland was very happy that James was able to recognize this fact. Not only that, but he also added embellishments and said: "Really, let me tell you, after I have a girlfriend, my waist is no longer sore, my legs are no longer hurting, and I can breathe freely." We can go up to the fifth floor!"
"Do you know why?"
"Because she will arrange your life properly!"
At this point in the words, Roland became even more excited, "For example, I am thirsty in the middle of the night and want to drink water..."
"Just pat her **** with your left hand..." Roland patted James on the shoulder with his hand, and gave a live performance.
"Then raise your right hand like that..." Spread out your right hand, with your arms slightly propped up.
"She\'ll go get me water."
"Really?" Seeing the woman getting closer, James turned his back and asked with bright eyes: "Listen to you, why do I have the feeling of a medieval maid serving a noble lord?"
"That\'s the feeling!" Hearing this metaphor, Roland slapped his thigh and said, "Isn\'t Kate an Englishman? Did you watch "Titanic" the other day? When Ruth was on the boat, there were a group of maids accompanying her." is it on?"
"She also has those clothes. When she wears a black dress, an apron, and a hat, I ask her to pinch my legs and she pinches my legs. I ask her to rub my back and she rubs my back... This is her I\'m not here now, if she\'s here, I\'ll just sit on the sofa and she\'ll pinch my neck, really, I won\'t lie to you, finding a girlfriend will benefit a lot..."
"Hey...James, don\'t pinch..."
"I\'m just telling you the benefits of finding a girlfriend, not asking you to pinch me..."
"Huh? What do you mean by raising your hands? I... hiss..."
Before Roland finished pretending to beep in front of James as before, he felt his neck warm.
Immediately afterwards, the familiar movement and comforting force made him instinctively narrow his eyes.
When he saw James spread his hands and raised his eyebrows with a smirk, a chill surged up, along his spine, and went straight to the sky. Is it a \'danger\'?
"Kate, why are you here? I\'ve been looking for you for a long time?" Roland wanted to hide his embarrassment with a smile.
"Why am I here? Of course I learned that your neck is sore..."
Seeing the embarrassed Roland, Kate smiled, and pressed his hands lightly on his shoulders. At the same time, she said, "It\'s a little past nine thirty, every night at this time, it\'s When I finish telling Ashley, Mary, and Lizzy a bedtime story, are you waiting for me here to pick me up?"
"Ah, yes, take you home, take you home..."
Roland poked his head like a pile driver, and got up before he finished speaking.
Under the gaze of James\' playful eyes, Roland took Kate out of the door, and when they crossed the courtyard and returned home, the flickering lights made James, who was sitting on the sofa, take three steps into two steps, sneaking Out of the house, trying to listen to the corner.
Waiting for him to find a good place with familiarity, when he came to the window sill of the living room that he liked to turn over when he was a child.
The sound coming from inside made him cover his mouth and move his body.
"Three meals a day, daily wear, are there people in charge?"
"Fitness, travel, work, is there someone to accompany you?"
"I\'m thirsty in the middle of the night and want to drink water, just pat my ass?"
"Wearing a nineteenth-century maid outfit, pinch your legs and beat your back?"
"For a long time, in your eyes, I am just a medieval maid, right?"
"No no no... Kate, Kate, Kate... I\'m just pretending to beep in front of James..."
"You should be able to understand this, just like you women like to dress beautifully and be the center of the world everywhere, we men are also very superficial, and when we are so superficial that nothing happens, we brag about how much we live in front of our brothers well..."
"Really? Do you think our women are superficial if they are beautifully dressed?"
"And you still feel that you usually have a bad life, and you have to brag to achieve the good in your heart?"
"No, no, no... that\'s not what I meant. What I mean is that bragging between us men is superficial. Besides, I never feel that I have a bad life. The reason why I say bragging is that It is to process the good things in the weekdays through language means to a level that everyone envies, and the bad habits of the old society, the kind of oppression that needs to be criticized, have become our superficial direction..."
"You mean, in your heart, you still want me to be your maid in a maid outfit?"
"Uh... In our current thinking, this is called fun, yes, it\'s called fun, it\'s not squeezing, it\'s not..."
"Hmph, what\'s the matter with the smell of tobacco and alcohol on your body? Ever since I took Liqi to make biscuits in the morning, I\'ve been nestling in the study and making phone calls, never coming out at all, and there seems to be no such things in your study. something?"
"Ah... I just went to David\'s to get this, I made money, let\'s celebrate..."
"Have you made money?"
"Yes, David also did a little bit of the business that Paul Allen recommended last time, so... everyone is happy..."
"Yeah?"
"Of course!...Hey, don\'t look at me like that? After I found out that the money was in the account, I thought about where to go on vacation with you, and then I was happy after thinking about it, so I drank with David Point... I know why you don\'t let me smoke and drink, isn\'t it because you are afraid that after I get used to it, I will be used by others? Don\'t worry, what happened to Rui Fan will not happen to me, and these people I am dating now Here, they have too many ways to kill people, and they won’t be so boring as to give people an excuse... And today is David, if David wants to harm me, he can just apply to the court for an extension of custody..."
"Okay, the vacation you just said..."
"To celebrate the big sale of "Titanic", I am going to go on vacation with you..."
"Do you want to take Liqi and the others?"
"This is to celebrate the success of "Titanic", not a Christmas family outing. I personally don\'t want to take them. Of course, it\'s up to you to decide whether to take them. If you don\'t think it\'s easy to refuse, then I will say it."
"The location has been chosen?"
"I thought about a few places, but I couldn\'t make a decision. I want to discuss with you..."
"which places?"
"Uh, the first one is the Bahamas. Nassau has pink sandy beaches, the lake of fire and the road to Atlantis. I heard it\'s very interesting. Then there\'s the Caribbean. I heard that Kaliwini Island next to Grenada is very beautiful. And... well..."
At the beginning, James, who was eavesdropping on the corner, was very happy.
Roland has been bullying him for so many years, and now he is finally punished. This kind of refreshment makes him so happy!
But listening to it, he felt something was wrong.
Why did Roland get up "uh" while talking?
And just as he was scratching his head and scratching his ears, Kate said "return to the room", which made him suddenly realize.
"Fuck! Director! This script is wrong!"
"Shouldn\'t Kate sanction Roland and blow his dog\'s head off? Why did the two get together again?"
Listening to the sound of footsteps going upstairs, James cursed angrily.
And if Roland knew what this guy was thinking, he would definitely laugh and comment, "Childish!"
Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, there is actually a desire to control in the heart.
Let’s take sharing as an example.
Those who are sincerely willing to share, and those who don’t, sharing more often is just a helpless compromise in the heart.
Ever since they kissed in public on the red carpet at the premiere and publicly asked for kisses at the end of the film, Roland already understood that Kate has recognized herself, and what happened after the recognition? Let her live with me calmly in accepting the result?
Don\'t be kidding, okay...
Although a calm life can avoid many troubles, it will also make people gradually lose interest in each other.
When you get used to it, when you encounter passion, separation becomes a matter of course.
But Roland, who has already bet everything, is unwilling to separate from Kate, so it is necessary to adjust the small conflicts in life.
In many cases, this kind of small conflict can actually be artificially created, just like Kate doesn\'t want Roland to smoke and drink. Roland can take the initiative to attribute all of this to concern for fear of accidents, make it clear decisively, apologize earnestly, but never repent.
Because this is not something that is expressly prohibited like cheating. Since you can’t touch the high-voltage line, it’s okay to tease the other party, which will arouse the other party’s desire to control, and a serious apology will allow the other party to gain the satisfaction of controlling the overall situation. , that would also be seen by him as a temporary failure of not having full educational success, and then move on.
While repeating, after the man admits his mistake and shows his favor, the woman\'s sense of satisfaction will rise to the peak.
Just like many mothers often tell their children that your father is not good, every time you emphasize it, you are actually strengthening the position in the other party\'s heart, and if your father is better one day, then many mothers will probably Say \'Don\'t look at your dad\'s usual behavior, but he still remembers such and such a day? \'
In such a cycle, a lifetime goes by...
Is this life boring?
No, this kind of life is full of passion every day.
When various emotions spread in the home, the home is full of vitality.
Blind warmth will only make everything infinitely dull.
So, Roland was never worried that Kate would get angry because he teased her.
Being angry means caring.
If even the little emotions are gone, it means that the two of them are really over.
Because of this, it wasn\'t a big deal for Roland to be cowardly in front of Kate.
After losing his temper, Kate was satisfied, and Roland was also satisfied.
After all, who is not an actor in real life?
Life is like a drama, drama is like life.
In this way, Roland, who returned to the room, had a great time while James was eating.
Kate, who already had dancing skills, unlocked a new pose as if rewarding Roland.
When Roland hugged her contentedly and wanted to fall asleep, there were two crisp sounds, which made Roland look up in confusion.
But the next second, when he saw Kate\'s raised right hand, Roland, who understood, smiled, "I\'ll get you some water."
"I want ice." Kate added with a smile.
"Is it so late?" Roland was taken aback for a moment, then came over to the show, and said with a frown, "Okay, I want ice."
Facts have proved that a good X life can solve more than 90% of the problems between two people.
The remaining 10% can be opened with money.
Early the next morning, after the refreshed two had breakfast, they flew directly to the Caribbean. No one could stop Kate’s desire to land on Kaliwini Island that day, with the dollar clearing the way.
As soon as I landed on the island, it was evening.
Seeing that the time was just right, the two identified common local ingredients in the organic vegetable garden, and then cooked a local flavor in turn under the guidance of the resort chef, letting the aroma of the food slide down the tongue to the limbs.
Eat and drink enough, settle in a local villa with unique tropical and wonderful style. The pointed gazebo, semi-circular flower windows and wooden corridors tell the secret past here. When you push the door and enter, the red curtains will naturally hang on both sides of the windows , The marble floor with retro patterns surrounds the small bath, suddenly, it seems to have traveled to ancient times.
The luxurious palace is in sight, and the elegant atmosphere permeates the whole room.
In the morning of the next day, the two got a kayak and wandered freely on the turquoise water. In the afternoon, they brought surfboards and jumped on the waves when the waves were at their peak. In the evening, they played on the crystal clear sea. Playing the childish game of who catches the fish first.
Stayed in Kaliwini Island for a week, Kate, who fell asleep listening to the sea, wanted a change of environment.
When the two combined, they decided to do what they should do in winter according to the season, so they flew straight to France and went to the Three Valleys Ski Resort to try the \'Whiteopium\' that has fascinated countless people.
Since neither of them is very familiar with this sport, spinning, jumping, and me closing my eyes have become their normal state.
Sliding two steps and falling down, got up with a smile and continued.
Even if a coach is hired, it can\'t stop the two of them from holding each other back.
At the end, I took the snow and sprinkled it all over you, and your hands were directly stuffed into my collar and scratched non-stop.
Since Roland has already made his own life plan, this vacation is an open play for him.
After the psychological pressure is gone, Kate thinks he is very interesting, because—
"Roland, why didn\'t I think you were good at playing?"
"When you were on vacation in 1996, you should choose places with a strong literary atmosphere."
Faced with Kate\'s question, Roland was able to give an accurate answer, "Because we have money and leisure."
"There is no need to commute to and from work on time, there is no work pressure, and there is enough money to support us to go wherever we want. In this case, it is not necessary whether we can play..."
"I think of something, find it interesting, and then just do it."
"As long as we do it, we will naturally find it interesting, because the whole process does not require hard work, just spend money, and the act of spending money will not bring us any burden..."
Roland firmly believes, \'Problems that can be solved with money are not problems\'.
Likewise, he firmly believed, \'If money isn\'t going to solve your problem, find someone who can and get as rich as him. \'
He will work hard for these two creeds.
keep working hard.
