Two Hundred and Ninety-Nine-A Bottle of Perfume Brings Feelings Closer

The pace of life on the farm is very slow, and it is a completely different world from Los Angeles, which is just around the corner.

Every time he returns home, Wayne's restless heart calms down. There is no feasting or lavish parties here. Almost every day's life seems to be replicating the day before, simple and quiet.

In the bedroom on the second floor of the wooden villa, Wayne sat on the balcony and looked at the cattle and sheep in the distance. The cowboys had let the animals out early in the morning. Looking at the familiar scenery in front of him, he could always think of the scenes in "Brokeback Mountain" since he was a child, with the same purity and beauty.

On the table next to him, there is an old-fashioned typewriter. Although computers have become more popular in North America in the past two years, at work, like an old man, he still prefers the typewriter he has been used to for many years.

At the foot of the small table, there lay a golden retriever who had been lazy since the morning. After his companion left, he seemed to have lost his energy and seemed even less willing to exercise than before. He spent most of the day sleeping next to Wayne. .

"Dang, Dang, dear, we have a guest at home!"

There were two knocks on the door, and the door was pushed open from the outside. Anna Greenberg looked at his back and called him.

Wayne glanced at the half-written plan, stretched and stood up, looked back at his mother who was walking over, and said, "Okay, mom, where's dad?"

"Downstairs." Anna Greenberg looked at him with a serious expression and suddenly reminded: "Your father is reminiscing with Townsend Rothman. Although I don't know the purpose of his coming here this time, it is absolutely impossible to just watch. Look at old friends, the only explanation is that I came here for you, Wayne, don’t take into account the relationship between me and your father and him, do you remember what I taught you before?"

"I understand that business is business, and business is just business!"

Nodding, Wayne followed his mother out of the bedroom with Golden Retriever and headed downstairs to the living room.

It can be said that his parents have said this to him more than once since he was a child. This sentence originally came from the French work "The Secret Garden", but it has become one of the basic principles of Jews and even North America.

It is not difficult to understand what his mother reminded him. As long as it involves business, no matter whether the other party takes advantage of friendship or family affection, business is just business and has nothing to do with feelings, so let him not be affected.

"Good morning, Townsend."

"Hi, good morning, Wayne."

After saying hello, he found that his father didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about seeing his old friend. He was far less happy than when he saw his collection. There was even a strange atmosphere in the atmosphere between them.

"Anna, look what I brought you?" Townsend-Rosman kept smiling and took out a small box from his bag. The outside of the box was wrapped with a layer of gift paper.

"Believe me, you will definitely like this thing. I got it by chance and I immediately thought of you."

Anna Greenberg took the gift with confusion and said, "Thank you."

Then he opened the wrapping paper directly and opened the gift in front of the guests.

There is a bottle of perfume inside the box. Although the bottle is very beautiful, it can be seen that this thing has been a few years, and the collection value of perfume may be greater than its practicality.

After seeing this ordinary bottle of perfume, Anna Greenberg suddenly raised a hand, covered her mouth in surprise, and looked at her old friend excitedly.

"Ohmygod! Taboo?!"

Wayne and his father looked at each other, and the elder Greenberg shrugged, making a helpless expression.

With a smile on his face, Townsend-Rosman sat on the sofa, took a sip of coffee, and said: "Yes, a month ago, I met Givenchy at an event and got it from him. This bottle arrived.”

Mentioning Givenchy, the three middle-aged and elderly people present were almost in a trance at the same time, with a hint of memory on their faces.

"Thank you, Townsend." Old Greenberg sighed. "I didn't expect you to remember this."

"Of course I won't forget it." With his upper body leaning forward slightly, Townsend-Rosman looked at his old friend with a look of reminiscence. "I always remember that Anna was particularly obsessed with Givenchy when she was young and regarded him as her idol. Unfortunately, this guy is also retiring and will officially leave the fashion center next year."

"Hey, hey, I'm not obsessed with him." Anna Greenberg glanced at her son and corrected him. "I just think Mr. Givenchy represents great love, so what girl wouldn't be moved by him?"

"Okay." Townsend-Rosman shook his head with a wry smile. He could feel the value of this gift. This bottle of perfume quickly made the strangeness between them disappear.

"I have to remind you, Anna, don't try to use this bottle of perfume. This is the batch that the old guy personally made for Audrey Hepburn. It has been too long."

This kind of thing is actually not worth much, and its commemorative significance is far greater than its actual value. This bottle of perfume, which I don’t know if it can still be used, may be worthless in the eyes of men, but in the eyes of women of Anna Greenberg’s generation, it is definitely valuable. The symbol that best represents true love.

As soon as he heard the name Givenchy and saw the bottle of perfume called "Taboo", Wayne knew that the other party had indeed put a lot of thought into it. Even now, he knew that his mother had put a lot of thought into it, let alone more than ten or twenty years ago. I have always liked the brand Givenchy.

Why is this bottle of perfume representative of love? In fact, in his eyes, Givenchy is definitely the number one licker of the century. He licked Audrey Hepburn all his life. He never married once until his death. He really only licked her all his life. A woman's representative.

Wayne did have some impressions of the funeral of the most elegant woman in the world, Audrey Hepburn, in 1993. The first person to carry the coffin was Givenchy. It could be said that he accompanied this woman. After completing his last journey, he had devoted all his life to protecting this woman. The story of Audrey Hepburn and Givenchy has been sung for many years. They met in their early twenties, one was a young actor and the other was a fledgling designer.

This story is full of regrets. Hepburn appeared in her first movie wearing a dress designed by Givenchy, wore an evening dress he designed, and won her first Academy Award. He also watched helplessly as Hepburn wore a wedding dress he designed. , married to another man.

The perfume in the hands of Anna Greenberg was specially prepared by Givenchy for Audrey Hepburn. This perfume called "Taboo" was only officially put on the market after Hepburn used it alone for three years. More than ten years later, it is still regarded as a classic by many girls.

When the beauty lost her beauty in old age, there was still only Givenchy, who still stayed by Hepburn's side and kept telling her, "I am willing to do anything for you."

This kind of protection and companionship lasted until Audrey Hepburn's death in 1993.

Givenchy's protection for Audrey Hepburn also made many women of this era willing to believe that love really exists, and made more middle-aged women like Anna Greenberg regard him as their lifelong idol.

This now gray-haired designer has made amazing achievements in the fashion industry and business, but he has stayed with one woman all his life and never married. He has let many people see what the ultimate dog-licking looks like, that is, I love you. ,Nothing to do with you.

Wayne also appreciates this sentiment very much, not to mention that Givenchy did it in the fashion industry, which is known for its chaos and corruption. That circle is much more chaotic than Hollywood.

"Wayne, Wayne."

Townsend-Rosman chatted with his old friend for a while, then turned his attention to the young man who was in a daze and called him twice.

According to his observation, after returning to the farm, Wayne was completely different from the public image in the media. He took off his black suit that had not changed for thousands of years, and also took off his calm temperament that transcended his age.

Now wearing jeans and a T-shirt at home, people can't help but feel as if this new Hollywood big shot is actually only twenty-five years old.

Wayne shook his head slightly and looked at the future Fox CEO. "Sorry, I was distracted!"

"There are rumors outside that you have a conflict with Warner Bros.?" Townsend-Rosman thought about how to get into the topic and tested the other party with words, with a warm smile on his face. "Whether or not this is true, 20th Century Fox is always willing to work with you."

Through the reminiscing with the Reuben couple just now, he has been able to confirm that his parents will never be an obstacle to this matter. All that is left is to constantly put forward his own conditions and try to achieve his goal.

And he was very confident, and he definitely gave this young man a great impression. He has been investigating the other party. After collecting information over the past few years, the biggest discovery is that this young man values ​​​​love.

Don't be misled by the evaluation of him in the media. This kid is indeed a playboy. He is not a high-profile person and seems to be difficult to contact. But he has absolutely nothing to say to the people around him.

Whether it is the agent who has been with him for the longest time, or the assistants and bodyguards around him, it can be said that they all live a life of food and clothing, and the salary they receive can put the executives of small Hollywood companies to shame.

Even among those women who frequently appear in tabloids, as long as they have had scandals with him, almost no one has anything bad to say about him. Even Halle Berry, who has not been popular in the past two years, broke off the relationship with him. Never said a bad word about him in the media.

All these can prove that this young man values ​​feelings. Starting from the relationship aspect will definitely greatly increase the success rate of the matter to be discussed!

Wayne picked up the cigarette on the coffee table, lit one with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, blew out a thick cloud of smoke, and said: "Townsend, how come you believe this eye-catching news? I'm not afraid to tell you, in my hand Owning more than 7% of Warner Bros. shares, PricewaterhouseCoopers, my personal accountant, still buys odd shares from the secondary market from time to time, do you understand what I mean?”
