CHAPTER 71 CHAPTER 71

Hugo didn't miss the look Uma gave him before he left, the glamorous glint in his eyes. The attitude is not deliberate, it is more like the ripples in the depths of the heart inadvertently leaking the spring light under the sun, so that Hugo can't help showing a smile. After the kiss at the last premiere, and the hint from Uma during today's conversation, if Hugo still doesn't understand what's going on, he's a piece of wood.

Hugo could feel his heart throbbing slightly, the intense desire to seek physicality. I hope that Hugo is a little uncomfortable. The two meetings between him and Uma were a little unusual. The first time he took the initiative to offer a kiss, he was caught off guard. Today, he just chatted a few words in such a troubled situation. How could it be possible? Suddenly feeling good?

Is it because of the relationship of the predecessor? After all, before Hugo crossed over, his predecessor was fervently pursuing Uma, but he interrupted this undeveloped relationship because of his own crossing. Uma was also intrigued because of her abnormal performance. Although Uma "see through" Hugo's hard-to-find tactics when they first met, it can also be seen that she also has a good impression of her predecessor. , or else there would have been no such frank expression of affection for him today after the first unexpected meeting.

Hugo touched his heart, could he still feel the true emotions of his predecessor? This should be the only normal explanation. Hugo shook his head subconsciously, trying to shake off the ticklish emotions in his head. He took a few breaths and calmed down his turbulent heart.

"Hey, buddy, what are you thinking?" A voice from the front interrupted Hugo's thoughts. He looked up and looked at the sun, and saw Karl's figure walking straight over, "The beautiful woman just now is Uganda. Mar-Thurman?" Carl's face was sullen. The ignorant smile obviously hints at the fascinating relationship between Hugo and Uma.

Hugo couldn't help laughing, "Friends, just friends."

"Are you sure?" Carl's smile rose, "I was there watching the conversation between you two just now, and it's not your ordinary friends." Although Carl didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of the words was clear. He stood by the side just now, watching the pleasant conversation between Hugo and Uma, and the faint sense of harmony around the two of them. Even if he was just watching, he could see that there was a spark between the two.

Hugo chuckled and did not respond to Carl's words. Then I heard Carl continue to say, "Anyway, you're single now, there's nothing wrong with trying bravely. You and Uma seem to get along very well. Or, do you have a relationship?" Carl asked uncertainly. , "I heard Joseph say no..."

Carl's words made Hugo very dumbfounded. Although the beating of his heart seemed a little unusual when he heard Carl's words, Hugo firmly believed that it was the influence of his predecessor. So Hugo stood up holding the gramophone, "You can't park here, hurry up, if you don't want to be ticketed, we'd better leave now."

Carl didn't continue to tease, after all, his relationship with Hugo was just average, and he wasn't familiar enough to make jokes at will. Carl replayed the picture of Hugo and Uma getting along just now in his head, and he couldn't help chuckling. He thought that there must be something between the two people, but it was not determined yet, and Hugo would say, "It's just that. friend". Carl quickly walked to the side of the road, raised the two lamps, and walked towards the pickup truck parked not far away.

Hugo and Carl teamed up to put all the furniture on the pickup truck and drove them home. From a distance, they saw Joseph and Alex standing at the door and quarreling with an old man. They said it was a quarrel. The most important thing was that the old man was blushing. Complaining, Joseph and Alex stood by the side in good order, and there was not much reaction.

When Hugo and Carl approached, the old man strode into the building angrily, "What's wrong?" Carl asked with his head out of the driver's seat.

"It's okay, he said that we blocked the corridor, affecting access." Joseph said simply.

Alex, who was standing next to him, also looked helpless, "The old man who lives on the second floor seems to be an old man who lives alone. There are always many opinions when he talks."

"You have to allow people to express their opinions, and we did block the corridor." Hugo didn't think too much, he said with a smile, "I'll just say why you haven't passed for so long, okay, let's help together. Bar!"

After unloading the furniture in the car, the four of them made another trip, and after filling up the car in bits and pieces, this was the end of today's shopping.

After all the furniture was set up and the cleaning was done, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and the pizza delivery came very quickly. In less than a quarter of an hour, the four of them sat in the lobby on the third floor and began to enjoy dinner.

At this time, the hall is no longer so empty. Two connected shoe cabinets have been added at the entrance. Since there was only one set of sofas before, several sofa piers have been added scatteredly to fill the space of the living room. A storage cabinet was added next to the cabinet to put away everything to be used in the living room, and the phonograph was placed on the storage cabinet. Three high stools have also been added next to the dining room table, and with the refills of microwaves, pans, etc. in the kitchen, it finally feels like home. Although the overall decoration is still very simple, I believe that with the continuation of their living time here, there will be more and more decorations, and the taste of home will become stronger and stronger. After all, this is only the first day.

Of course, the most important thing is to have a TV in the living room.

"Are you sure you want to turn on the TV?" Joseph looked at Hugo helplessly. Since Alex has never paid the cable TV bill, the TV service has been suspended long ago, and he can't see anything. , even if the TV is on, it is just a snowflake, but Hugo insists that the TV must be turned on.

Hugo took a hard bite of the pizza, filling his mouth with the fragrant pasta, showing a contented expression, "Of course, don't you think there is at least a little noise in the house after the TV is turned on? If the four of us are at the same time Silence, the living room will not be so embarrassing, if you don't believe it, let's try it without talking now."

After Hugo's words fell, the four big men all looked at me, I looked at you, and the boring rustling of the TV was still ringing, the atmosphere was not awkward at first, but it was deliberately emphasized by Hugo. , Immediately, a sense of joy came out. As a result, Alex couldn't hold back the first one, and he burst out laughing, followed by Hugo, then Carl, and finally Joseph was also dumbfounded.

"If you have vinyl records at home, it's good to play music." When Alex saw Hugo coming back from a gramophone, he couldn't put it down. He occasionally listened to vinyl records at home. This kind of enjoyment is indeed yearning.

"When you bring a woman back for a date next time, I will prepare a few romantic records for you." Hugo said with a smile on his face. In fact, this was just a joke. Hugo had never had much contact with him before crossing the road. Vinyl records, and I don't know anything about phonographs. If you want to understand, you can only start from scratch.

However, Alex immediately showed a satisfied smile, sat next to him and nodded again and again, "Then I'll express my expectations."

"The 'Yihai Xiongfeng' crew didn't call you today?" Carl looked at Joseph and asked curiously.

Joseph shook his head, and Carl frowned, "Could it be because we've been running outside, you didn't get a call?" Today, they were running around almost all day, and even at home they were too busy to touch their feet. It's perfectly normal not to hear the phone ring.

"No." Joseph is more calm, mainly because Joseph has experienced a lot in the past two months. He also knows that he can't help in a hurry here, so he might as well treat it calmly. "Rob and the others know the office's phone number. Even if they don't reach me, they will leave a message there."

Now that mobile phones are not widely used, the phone at the office reception has become an important transit point. Even if Joseph is not in the office all day, he will avoid missed calls. Of course, this is only the case of a clerk like Joseph. If Lang is out to run errands, then Gary, as an assistant, will record all the messages for his boss.

"Don't worry, I just had an interview yesterday, and the news will come today. It must not be that fast." Hugo was not too worried, because he knew that the initiative this time was not in his hands, nor in Rob's hands, but in the hands of Rob. in Tom's hands. As long as Tom is willing to take the script, then the problem is solved and nothing will happen.

Carl looked at Hugo, then looked at Joseph, "Don't you know that Columbia Pictures doesn't plan to use Tom Cruise?" This is why Carl was so anxious to mention this just now. Sure enough, this news Immediately, both Joseph and Hugo were stunned. Only then did Carl realize that they hadn't heard the news yet, "I went to the company in the morning and heard that Tom refused to shave his head, and he was unwilling to lower his salary, which led Columbia Pictures to plan to find a replacement. On the one hand, it is to seek a second solution, and on the other hand, it is also to put pressure on Tom."

Carl held the pizza in his hand, smelled the aroma and kept swallowing, but he didn't dare to put the pizza in his mouth, because the three people in front of him were looking at him expectantly, so he said quickly, "This morning, According to the news, Tom strongly refused the request to cut his hair short, because it would affect his image, so the two sides broke down. I thought that Rob would make a decision in the afternoon. It's going to be turned on in ten days, and there's not much time left."

The male protagonist Daniel in "The Hero of the Sea" is in the navy. Although he is not a combat army serving in the sea, he does not require a shaved head, but it is still necessary to cut his hair short. Tom is at the height of his power now. He has the capital to challenge the producers. Next, it depends on whether the producers can be tough to the end.

However, Hugo knew that in his memory, the producers had compromised, because Tom starred in "The Hero of the Sea of ​​Righteousness", and he still had a suave hairstyle. However, it is not known what will change this time.

After speaking in one breath, Carl took a big bite of the pizza, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face. Hugo couldn't help but smile when he saw Carl's expression, but Joseph frowned slightly and looked at Hugo worriedly.

Hugo smiled and comforted, "Don't worry too much, even if you have to make a decision, it can't be so fast. Whether it's me or Brad, it's a tough decision to replace Tom."

"At least your height is much better than Tom and Brad, and your aura is a lot higher." Alex made a stroke beside him, so that Carl, who was enjoying pizza, almost didn't choked, coughed. nonstop. Height, this is Tom's absolute weakness, and Brad is similar.
