Chapter 623: 623
Cameron is not a girl who can hide her emotions - she is only twenty-one years old this year, so her cheeks are crimson at the moment, and her blue eyes clearly write her shyness and tension, This is easily reminiscent of the situation when a little girl confessed to a little boy in fifth grade, but Cameron is obviously not a little girl in fifth grade, but the awkward embarrassment is exactly the same.
Charlize immediately saw the emotion in Cameron's eyes, not to mention the terrible words, "Did you... have dinner?" God, is there anything more straightforward and worse than this? If "your shoe dropped" is included, it's barely second to last.
Charlize pursed her lips slightly, she could see Cameron's nervousness, and she didn't want her expression to make Cameron more nervous, so she controlled her expression well, and then squinted slightly at Hugo At a glance, that look seems to say, "What did I just say?"
Charlize just said, "I seem to have seen an admirer." Hugo immediately understood the meaning in Charlize's eyes, but this made him a little embarrassed. Why is Charlize by his side every time he encounters this kind of thing? ? Hugo glanced at Charlize, with helplessness clearly written in his eyes, but Charlize stared back at him at a glance, accompanied by schadenfreude ridicule, which made Hugo choked directly.
Cameron did not notice the exchange of eyes between Hugo and Charlize. After all, she was not familiar with Hugo, but she could clearly feel that the atmosphere seemed a little weird, which made Cameron originally. The nervousness became even more rapid, and her heart began to beat wildly. The sound of hitting her chest made her cheeks start to heat slightly, and her ears were even redder, turning transparent pink.
Cameron was starting to think it was a bad idea to come over and talk to Hugo.
But at this moment, Hugo's mellow and warm voice came over, "I haven't, I'm going over to the buffet table to take a look, how about you?"
Cameron immediately felt relieved, Hugo's rescue completely saved the terrible moment just now, so Cameron immediately raised his head, opened his eyes wide and burst into a bright smile, and pointed hard at Hugo. head, but then he found that he seemed to be a little too active, and he couldn't help but flinch.
Hugo noticed Cameron's little shyness and was very surprised, because he knew that although Cameron was only 21 years old this year, she had been rolling in the European modeling circle for more than three years, and she had broken through. Not a small name, it is not easy to maintain a pure heart - Hugo is very clear about this; but then Hugo thought, in fact, Cameron has always been like this, even in 2014 In 2018, Cameron, who has been in the entertainment industry for 20 years, still maintains her original innocent appearance. Her smile is always the brightest scene on the big screen, and she is also the same in private.
Thinking of this, Hugo also smiled and said, "Then let's go over together." Anyway, it was just past the buffet table, not a formal invitation, Hugo naturally didn't mind giving Cameron a step down, "Yes. Now, this is my good friend, Charlize Theron."
Charlize stretched out his right hand, smiled neatly at Cameron, and said simply, "You can call me Sally."
In fact, Charlize is three years younger than Cameron, but Charlize is obviously more old-fashioned than Cameron, whether it is character or behavior, it can be seen from this, in fact, years do not mean maturity or maturity. knowledge, personal experience.
Cameron also raised a smile, because she heard Hugo's introduction, "good friend" instead of "girlfriend," which is obviously a better news, "Cameron Diaz, You can call me Cami." Cameron's cheerful voice had a hint of intimacy that clearly showed her joy at the moment.
Cameron did not stand by Hugo's side, but stood by Charlize's side, and then the two of them walked towards the buffet table together, which surprised Charlize, she looked at him in surprise. After seeing Hugo, he saw Hugo raised his eyebrows with a "Aren't you a woman" expression, which made Charlize roll his eyes.
But thinking about it carefully, Cameron's shyness and nervousness just now were written on his face. Either she was naturally like this, or she was shrewd enough. In Charlize's view, Cameron should be the former. Then Cameron is probably shy at this time. Even if he wants to stand beside Hugo, he is still a little reserved. This makes Charlize laugh dumbly. This Cameron is really interesting.
Both Charlize and Cameron were born models, with tall height, slender curves and infinite style, even in the international innovation management company, they easily attracted the attention of many people, while Charlize was cold and beautiful, Cameron Long's sweet temperament is in stark contrast, which makes people look up. This has become the best adjustment in the slightly tense atmosphere.
When he came to the buffet table, Hugo still maintained his usual gentleman style, brought plates and knives and forks for the ladies, then followed the ladies to choose the food, and then brought the food to the place by the window. , enjoy it slowly. In fact, in order to take care of the image, the two ladies chose some fruits, but Hugo chose some desserts to cushion their stomachs.
Rick also came over with a plate and nodded politely towards the two ladies, "I hope today's lunch will not be too rude." Rick's smile has a subtle affinity, although he looks inconspicuous , and he was black and thin, and he was not tall, but he was always able to negotiate projects, and this smile was indispensable.
Sure enough, Charlize replied with a smile, "If everyone stole the caviar, then today's lunch will be perfect."
This made Rick immediately laughed heartily, "This is my mistake."
"Are you responsible for today's lunch meeting?" Cameron asked his inner question out of curiosity.
"Yes, the partners take turns every year for the lunch meeting. This year happens to be my order." Rick said politely, "By the way, today's strawberries are very good, and it is the most eye-catching among the fruits." Rick looked at the food on Hugo's plate, "Tiramisu, smart choice, it's the best-selling dessert today, but I personally prefer Black Forest."
"You are a step late, I just sent the Black Forest to the excrement processing factory." Hugo said with a smile, causing everyone to laugh.
Cameron looked at Hugo who was chatting and laughing like this. The slight beating of her heart made her feel like she couldn't step on the ground under her feet. Everything was so soft and illusory. If possible, Cameron hoped for such a moment. It's never over, and she thinks it's definitely the best day of 1993—if you don't count that chance encounter in Philadelphia.
Hugo originally thought that Rick would talk to him about the company, or at least reveal some words. Rick used Joseph to test his own words. Today, he rushed to the first floor anxiously to meet him. The opportunity, now Lang and Marvin are waiting for the opportunity, Rick finally found a gap and walked up, Rick will definitely not miss this opportunity. But Hugo was obviously wrong.
Rick talks about other things from start to finish, from food to the weather in Los Angeles, then to some recent crew fun, and finally to Hugo about the Fabulous Music Festival in full swing - they're in Chicago , New York and other cities have encountered stubborn protests, and listeners generally believe that this year's music festival is incomplete without the glory of death in the background.
The whole conversation was very lighthearted and pleasant and made everyone smile. Until someone came to look for Rick, it seemed that there would be some trivial matters to deal with at lunch, Rick politely resigned, and from beginning to end, Rick did not mention anything about the agent, company, etc. .
This made Hugo look at Rick even more. Now Hugo has enough vision to examine these details. He can feel that Rick is friendly to his release, but he is not eager for success. K's endurance is really admirable. Second, Rick's strategy is indeed the right medicine. At least after Hugo understands all the internal conditions of the company, and also understands the situation of Rick's inquiries through Joseph, Hugo is still concerned about Rick just now. behavior will not be excluded. That's where Rick's genius comes in.
This made Hugo begin to formally think about the future. Joseph's contract is about to arrive in April. What should he do then? Continue to renew, or switch brokers? In addition, the power game within the International Innovation Management Company has come to a critical moment, and a watershed will appear in two to three months at most. How should I choose? Leave or stay, which faction will you choose if you stay, and which will you choose if you leave?
After two years of ups and downs, the brokerage company that has always been the support behind Hugo also ushered in the moment of changing the dynasty. At this time, Hugo also had a better understanding of Joseph's initial panic. Joseph's choice about Hugo's "Pulp Fiction" "A large part of his worries come from changes in the agency and Tracy's threat; at the same time, Joseph is focused on his work and hopes to win more chips in the power game...
It's just that the power game of the brokerage company is actually the same as the shopping mall war. Until the last moment, you will never know who the winner will be. Hugo wants to use the advantages of his traveler to make judgments, but the information he knows so far is: International Innovation Management was still one of Hollywood's top five agencies in 2014, but he wasn't sure which company Rick and they were going to create.
The wheel of history is moving forward, and what kind of changes will Hugo, who is full of countless variables, bring to history?
