Chapter 59
"No no, Virgie, you don't understand!"
"Grace! You can't do this! Annie has such a talent, you can't delay her! This is a crime!"
"Vigil, that's not talent..."
Pepper rubbed her forehead with her hand. She didn't know that her sister was so stubborn. How hard would it take to think that this is not a talent? So what is talent?
"Grace! You, how could you do this! I don't care! From today on, Annie will follow me! I don't care what your plans are, I will let Annie go to higher education until she has no books to read!"
Grace didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and picked up a magazine next to the sofa, "Viggy, please pay attention. The first page is in Italian."
She slowly turned the first page, and then began to read in Italian. This is a book about fashion, which was ordered by Pepper.
Suddenly Pepper couldn't understand, but knew it was definitely not nonsense words kept coming out of Grace's mouth.
After a while, Grace turned to the second page and said in English: "The second page is in Chinese."
Then they read aloud in Chinese, which is usually the most commonly used language in the town.
Under Pepper's dumbfounded, Grace turned to the third page: "The third page, German."
Page 4: Japanese, Page 5: Russian, Page 6...
For the ten or so pages, Grace read each page in a different language. Although she couldn't understand it, Pepper knew that Grace didn't read blindly to deceive her. Grace actually knew ten languages?
Next, Grace handed the magazine to Belloc, who was watching the excitement, and Belloc re-displayed it with gourd painting.
"Vicky, do you understand now?" Grace finally said, "everyone in our town is like this, so it's not a talent."
How could Pepper speak, he was always dumbfounded.
"Wei Ji, once again I sincerely invite you to join us in Taoyuan Town. This will not affect your other life. You can go to other cities to make a living after becoming a townsman." Belloc said. This sister-in-law has never seized the opportunity. It is also the limit of what they can say, and it is also because Pepper is their close relative that they can say this.
"Vigil, if you don't move to Taoyuan Town, then at least join Taoyuan Town? Become a townsman?" Grace invited again.
This time, because of Anne and the performance of her husband and wife, I believe the hint is obvious enough, I just hope she can understand it.
"Y? How?" After waking up, Viki stretched out her hand with a questioning expression on her face.
Naturally, the three of them couldn't answer her, so they could only let her guess.
"Grace, are you being controlled by some evil god?" Vigil's sixth sense erupted, and he finally got to the point.
"Vicky, do you think that the one who taught you knowledge and made you strong...is the evil god?" Grace asked back.
"But, but I can't believe it! Man, how could human beings learn so many languages! Did you have some ulterior deal with the devil?"
This angered the three of them, and Grace said angrily, "Vicky, we have to pay tuition to the school. The teacher teaches us knowledge. Is the teacher a demon or an evil god?"
It's soul torture...
"But, Anne is only 13 years old, how can she learn so many languages that would take many people half their life to learn?"
"Want to know? Join Taoyuan Town." Grace found that she couldn't continue chatting with her.
"This makes me believe that you must have been tempted by the devil! I will consider it."
Pepper's words made the three of them speechless. Grace changed the subject and said, "Vicky, can you help me find a house? Belloc and I may be living in New York for a while."
"Of course! I have it in my building! It just so happens that Annie lives here. My place is quieter and a good place to study!"
"It's too expensive here, I'm looking for a cheap one, forget it, I'll find it myself, you probably don't understand."
"Who said that? Leave it to me, and I'll look for it. Belloc, what are your plans recently?"
"I want to find someone who is willing to shoot my script."
"But, to find a film company, you should go to Los Angeles."
"It's true that the film company is there, but most of their capital is here. This is not a small movie."
"Belloc, actually...I think...maybe you should try a low-budget movie first, which might open up a way for you."
But Annie interjected: "Auntie, you don't know how good Dad's script is! I support Dad!"
"How good is it? No one is willing to spend money on a newcomer, and it's a big price." Pepper pointedly stated the situation Belloc will face.
But Beilock still said: "I will do my best, this is not just my own business." He is very confident in his script, and this is the record of Peach's revelation, the prophecy of the gods!
Pepper suddenly imitated little Annie and rolled her eyes, and found that this little expression could express many of her thoughts.
Well, let him hit the nail on the head and he will know how realistic and indifferent capital is. They will only focus on those profitable opportunities, instead of taking huge risks like the initial accumulation of capital.
But she should help, and she still wants to help. In the following time, she often sends him some phone numbers, which she got through the network she can contact, which helped Belloc a lot, and let him He met many bigwigs behind the scenes of many film companies.
It's just that without exception, his scripts were declined as Pepper said, and some big shots he found with his own ability didn't even give him a chance to meet.
Fortunately, his heart is strong enough, which was honed by his first book.
After spending a month in New York with no progress, he had no choice but to go to Los Angeles to find a big director. There are some powerful big directors who can attract capital for venture capital.
That's on the other side of country M. If you want to travel and drive there, it will take too much time.
They sold the car, vacated the low-rent housing, and planned to fly the family to Los Angeles.
At this time, Pepper, who was gradually becoming a strict mother and had already arranged for Annie to go to a noble school, did not intend to let little Annie go. Even little Jody planned to stay with her! She quarreled with the two and cried for a long time.
Eddie and his wife had no choice. The final negotiation result was that unless Pepper agreed to fly to Taoyuan Town with Annie to settle in, it was impossible for Annie and Jody to stay, and she could only choose Annie! Jody is still young, and Pepper's experience in raising children is obviously insufficient.
In order to get Annie to agree, the couple Xu said that if Los Angeles got the chance, they would come back and pick her up!
They have visited that noble school, the learning environment is indeed much better than the one in Taoyuan Town, the teachers are well-qualified, except that they don’t have the chance to get the super brain, it looks pretty good, and now all the young people in the town are all taken away by Taoyuan. Pop got kicked out and the school was closed, so they agreed.
Anne couldn't afford to stay out of school all the time, though judging by her usual grades it didn't seem necessary.
The actual situation is that Belloc's situation is already a little tight, and Grace is also looking for job opportunities to supplement the family.
Fortunately, I called from Taoyuan Town. Starting from this month, all genetic enhancers will have a fixed amount of high-energy food supplements every month. After they settle down, they will be mailed to their designated addresses. This is great news. Grace knew that more than half of the family's expenses went into her belly.
The news from the town said that as long as a small sugar cube-sized high-energy food called Natasha No. 1, if there is no strenuous exercise at level 2, it can keep you full for three days. She can receive 12 pieces per month, 2 pieces are for emergency use, and each person can only stock up to 6 pieces of emergency high-energy food. When the stock is full, the town should be notified in time, and the quota for the next month will be reduced by 2 pieces. In addition, high-energy food is not easy to make, and the cost is very high. If you can save it, don't lose it.
three days later.
Annie bid farewell to her parents in tears. She actually knew about her father's situation. The current situation is the best way for her parents to deal with it. Besides, Virgil is not an outsider, but her aunt. She likes her very much. Except for being a little stubborn, there is nothing wrong with it. of.
Eddie and his wife boarded a plane to Los Angeles to find his opportunity.
