Chapter 1612 Substitute

"Adolf, did he really agree?"

"Yes." Adolf said proudly, holding the phone; "You should really see his expression in person, like a little girl who is embarrassed and has nothing to do."

"Haha, that's really exciting." A hearty laugh came from the phone, making Adolf even more proud of this victory.

No one could have imagined that this matter would be so easy, and that the other party would directly choose to compromise.

This was not like the Li Zitao they knew, and it was even contrary to the rumors from the outside world.

Perhaps what made him realize the fact is that the United States is a country controlled by white people, and this is something that no one can change.

At the same time, Li Zitao was also on the phone with a person who was in charge of casting, scripting, filming, filming and theater arrangements at DreamWorks.

It can be said that under the president, Lauren Caddis holds the power of DreamWorks.

Lauren Caddis is not an old man from DreamWorks. He is the person Adolf brought over from Paramount and is also his most trusted right-hand man.

But this does not mean that he will stand unswervingly by Adolf's side at any time.

In fact, according to what Li Zitao learned, the relationship between them was very tense.

Because of conceptual issues, Adolph insisted on reusing Paramount's methods in Hollywood management, while Lauren strongly opposed it.

He believes that Elmo's previous policies, being kind and gradually accepting the development and growth of minorities in Hollywood, are beneficial to the entire film industry.

The two had argued about this matter countless times, and one time Lauren even slammed the door and walked out, shouting, 'You are just a stubborn old guy, and those damn old ideas will kill you sooner or later. ’

This matter is an open secret, so Li Zitao naturally doesn't know about it.

Dealing with Adolf is easy, but he needs someone who can take charge of the overall situation and carry out his orders.

Li Zitao didn't have the time or energy to argue with Adolf or fight for power. He needed to find someone to do the hard work.

It was a chore for him, but for others it was a golden opportunity. "Lauren, can I talk to you?"

"About what?" Lauren was very cautious.

Because he knew that just a few hours ago, Li Zitao personally received Adolf at the manor, and it seemed that the conversation between the two was not very pleasant.

Lauren knew it, because if it weren't for this, this phone call and the so-called invitation would not have existed.

"Just talking casually about life, children, and family." The topics Li Zitao mentioned were very casual, as if he was looking for him to talk about his family's shortcomings.

"Sorry, Mr. Li." Although Lauren didn't want to ask, he just couldn't control his mouth: "I think this meeting has nothing to do with work, right?"

"That's right!" Li Zitao chuckled: "Relax, Lauren, you are not a suspect, and I am not a judge. There is nothing to worry about."

'Yes, but I have the head of a dwarf, and his heart is not very generous. ' Lauren thought in her mind and said, "Of course, I will be there on time."

After hanging up the phone, Lauren opened the office door and said to her assistant: "Call my wife for me. There is an important party tonight and I can't make it."

"In addition, help me choose a gift, a formal visit gift...quickly." It was getting dark.

If he wasn't in Hollywood at this time, he wouldn't be able to buy a gift from any store because they were all closed.

After taking a simple shower and putting on the spare suit for the office, Lauren drove to Beverly with the gifts prepared by her assistant.

Ten minutes later, his car stopped in front of the manor.

After honking the horn, someone came out to verify his identity and the door opened.

As soon as she entered the manor, Lauren saw several familiar faces.

The elegant lady Grace, the angel Hepburn on earth, and an Eastern European woman who is not inferior to them and has a hotter figure.

Yes, Lauren could tell at a glance that the man was from Eastern Europe.

Not only her pretty nose, devilishly well-proportioned figure, big and bright eyes, but also smaller bones than other European and American women.

Of course, her more delicate skin cannot be ignored.

"Mr. Lauren, Mr. Lauren..." The security guard blocked his view, and Lauren's observation was too detailed.

"Sorry, I was a little distracted." Lauren walked out of the car with the gift and smiled apologetically.

In fact, he didn't have any dirty thoughts, but he was thinking about how to persuade the other party to join DreamWorks, 'Maybe she can become the next Monroe! ’

"Lauren, come here and play a round." When he saw Li Zitao, he was playing golf on the lawn.

The golf balls he hit were scattered next to the net hanging on the fence.

boom!

"Nice shot." Lauren held the gift under her arm, smiled and clapped.

"Thank you." Handing the club to Ava, Li Zitao motioned for him to come forward: "Let us see your skills."

"Okay." Lauren handed the gift in her hand to Ava and said gratefully; "Can you take it for me? Thank you."

Lauren took the club and stood where he had just stood. His posture looked very professional, and then he swung the club hard.

boom!

A large piece of turf flew away, but the ball remained motionless in place.

"Bang bang~" Li Zitao clapped and said, "Nice shot, just a joke!"

"I guess I'm a little nervous." Lauren smiled awkwardly, holding the club tightly and wanting to try again.

"Okay, you're not suitable for playing ball if you're so nervous. We can go to the pool, drink some wine, and listen to music."

Li Zitao put his arm around his shoulders and said kindly, and led him towards the swimming pool.

"Mr. Li, I don't quite understand. What is the purpose of today's meeting?" In order to relieve the tension and embarrassment, Lauren had to ask the question directly.

Because if he doesn't figure this out, he won't be able to relax.

"It's just a conversation between friends, what do you think?" Li Zitao said with a smile, but he didn't act like it.

This made Lauren even more nervous, but fortunately Li Zitao immediately said: "Just kidding, I came to see you because I have something to discuss."

"I want you to take over DreamWorks." Li Zitao went straight to the point, making Lauren's heartbeat stop.

After a moment, Lauren let out a loud inhalation sound like a drowning person, and then resumed her normal breathing and asked, "Why?"

"He is already old and cannot keep up with the changes of the times, and he cannot see clearly that the future of this world belongs to everyone."

"What are you referring to?" Lauren had actually guessed what he was going to say.

"You know." Li Zitao smiled as if he could see through him: "Racial prejudice, I think no one knows this better than you."
