Night shrouds Haizhu City, with bright lights in the field of vision, traffic flow, and strange people passing by like water. This city is familiar yet unfamiliar to Edgar Austin.
As the cool night breeze blew, the depression in Edgar Austin's heart disappeared with the wind. He was not angry at the cynicism of people like Stephen Price, not to mention that he had slapped Stephen Price in the face with his incredible foreign language skills.
Ding, ding, ding, the phone suddenly rang.
The call was from Elaine, "You guy, how long do you plan to keep this secret from me?"
Edgar Austin was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "What did I hide from you?"
Elaine said: "One million! You made one million, and I was the last to know about such a thing!"
"So this is what you were talking about."Edgar Austin smiled, "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you."
"You did it on purpose!"Elaine said angrily: "Even the little female worker you just hired got a bonus of 20,000, and I didn't even get a penny!"
"You are not an employee of our Thunder Horse Studio. Can I give you a bonus?"
"I don't care! I want clothes, cosmetics and bags, you have to buy them for me."
Edgar Austin, "..."
"It's settled, I'll wait for you at home."Elaine decisively hung up the phone without waiting for Edgar Austin to speak.
Edgar Austin stared at the phone in his hand speechlessly, as if it was Elaine, "You guy, who am I? If you want clothes, I will buy you clothes? If you want cosmetics and bags, I will give them to you. Buy cosmetics and bags? Really!"
Perhaps because he owed Elaine in his previous life, Edgar Austin walked around the street and finally spent more than a thousand yuan to buy a dress for Elaine in a women's clothing store.
Returning to the community, Edgar Austin did not go home, but came directly to Elaine's door. He reached out and knocked on the door.
Still no one in the room responded.
Edgar Austin frowned. He knocked on the door a few times harder and said, "Elaine? It's me, Edgar Austin, open the door quickly."
Elaine's voice finally came from behind the door, "Who's knocking on my door in the middle of the night?"
Edgar Austin said: "It's me, Edgar Austin."
"Edgar Austin? I don't know anyone named Edgar Austin."Elaine's voice sounded.
Edgar Austin, "..."
"I have broken off our relationship with you."Elaine's voice said.
Edgar Austin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let Brynlee wear the skirt."
The door opened with a crash.
The moment the door opened, it was like a spring breeze blowing in his face. Edgar Austin seemed to be standing on a grass full of flowers, and everything felt wrong.
Elaine from the door was wearing a bathrobe and her hair was wet. It was obvious that she had just taken a shower. She seemed to hear him knocking on the door and came out of the bathroom. She didn't have time to dry herself, so that the thin bathrobe was wet with water and stuck very closely to her skin. The charming scenery just appeared. The bathrobe was dry in some places, wet in some places, darker in some places, lighter in some places, sticking up in some places, and sticking up in some places. Place... A woman in a bathrobe, her body is like a hazy poem, which brings novel and mysterious feelings every time it is read.
Edgar Austin was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to get along with her.
Elaine felt like she was wearing a down jacket and cotton trousers. She bowed as a subordinate and said with a smile, "Boss Edgar, please come in. What would you like to order?"
Edgar Austin's lips were a little dry, "Whatever, beer, give me a can of beer."
"You know I don't drink beer, what kind of beer do you want? Can tap water be used?"Elaine's eyes fell directly on the packaging box in Edgar Austin's hand. She couldn't wait to try on the clothes inside.
This is Elaine. Edgar Austin smiled and now he calmed down. Isn't it Elaine wearing a half-wet bathrobe? He has even seen Elaine without clothes! He walked past Elaine into the house and sat on the sofa in the living room. He didn't put the packaging box on the coffee table, but put it behind him. Elaine usually teased him a lot, and now that he had the opportunity to tease her, he certainly didn't want to miss it.
Elaine closed the door and walked over, sitting opposite Edgar Austin. She didn't even pour a glass of tap water for Edgar Austin.
Elaine crossed her legs, and two-thirds of her big white legs were exposed to the air. Her back was pressed against the backrest of the sofa, and her arms were also spread out to press against the backrest of the sofa. Under the torn neckline, there was another piece of white and delicate skin. Her sitting posture is very open and natural. On the other hand, Edgar Austin, who was opposite her, looked awkward and uneasy, as if he didn't know where to put his eyes.
"Where's the skirt you bought for me?"Elaine said carelessly: "Since I bought it, why are you still secretive about it?"
In this posture, she looked like the daughter of a landowner in the old days. The Edgar Austin opposite her was a strong and hardworking young man from her family.
Edgar Austin said with a smile: "Call me brother, call me brother and I will give it to you."
"Brother, your..."Elaine changed her words and called out sweetly, "Brother."
"You're so good."Edgar Austin dragged his chin, "Let me take a look."
Elaine was stunned for a moment, then suddenly grabbed the pillow and thrust it towards Edgar Austin, cursing like a tigress: "You guy, do you think you are a prostitute?"
Edgar Austin was stunned on the spot, prostitute, how could she mention the word prostitute?
Elaine also realized that she had said the wrong thing, and her pink face suddenly turned red. She quickly changed the subject, "Hurry up and hand over the things, or don't leave my house tonight."
These words were quite ambiguous, and Edgar Austin couldn't bear it anymore. He threw the packaging box behind him to Elaine.
Elaine couldn't wait to open the packaging box. Inside the packaging box is a black long dress, the style and materials are very particular. She fell in love at first sight and had a sweet smile on her face.
Edgar Austin said: "Try it, it's one thousand six hundred, it's very expensive."
Elaine looked at Edgar Austin shyly, "You want me to change here? You have such a beautiful idea."
Edgar Austin frowned, "Which of your ears heard that I asked you to change here? You are so ugly, I don't even want to see you naked."
Elaine was not angry at all. She chuckled and said, "Edgar, wait for me here. I'll go in and put it on, and then you can see if I'm beautiful."
"Get out of here, get out of here."Edgar Austin urged impatiently.
Elaine happily entered her dormitory with the skirt in hand. A few minutes later, she came out of the dormitory, already wearing the new skirt Edgar Austin bought for her. The black long skirt fit her perfectly, and beautifully outlined her convex body curves, adding a bit of cool temperament to her. This skirt was a perfect match for her.
"Edgar, am I beautiful?"Elaine said happily.
No one responded and the living room was empty.
Elaine was stunned for a moment and rushed to the balcony. She happened to see Edgar Austin running through the green belt towards the stairwell as if running away. She followed and shouted: "Edgar, you bastard! You still owe me cosmetics and bags tomorrow." Buy it for me, or I’ll kill you!”
Edgar Austin didn't even look back and disappeared into the corridor in the blink of an eye.
A window on the third floor opened, and an aunt glanced down, and then murmured: "When will these enemies get together? They keep spending time like this, and I'm worried for you."
Elaine didn't hear this, and neither did Edgar Austin.
When she got home, Brynlee Austin was already asleep. Edgar Austin went back to his room and read for a while, then fell asleep until he felt sleepy.
Early the next morning, Edgar Austin came to Thunder Horse Studio, opened the studio computer and logged into Alibaba to select equipment and materials online. He earned one million from Dongfang Heavy Industries, and he wanted to use the money wisely. He actually really wanted to buy a car, but he decided to upgrade his studio first. If there was any leftover, he would be satisfied with buying a cheap second-hand car.
Emily made a cup of tea for Edgar Austin and placed it on Edgar Austin's desk. She leaned on Edgar Austin's shoulder and looked at the monitor, "Edgar, do you still want to buy equipment?"
Edgar Austin said: "Well, our business will get better and better. The current equipment can't do so much work. I not only need to buy equipment, but also recruit a few people." He turned around and said: "In the future, Xiao..."
Edgar Austin didn't expect Emily's head to be on his shoulder. Before he could finish a sentence, his lips hit Emily's cheek. The position was close to the corner of her mouth, and he almost kissed her lips.
Emily's apple-like face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly took a step back. The wonderful feeling at that moment made her embarrassed, and her body seemed to have a subtle reaction. That feeling made her even more shy.
Edgar Austin was also very embarrassed and said quickly: "I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean it."
Emily also said quickly: "No, it doesn't matter."
Edgar Austin coughed dryly and changed the subject, "What I just wanted to say is that from now on, Kaiden An will be the manager, and you will be responsible for managing the accounts, collecting money and paying employees' wages. Do you think that's okay?"
"I'm in charge of the accounts?"Emily shook her head like a rattle, "I can't do it, Edgar, I'm just a junior high school student and I don't know how to operate a computer. How can I do the accounts? No, I can do it. not good."
Edgar Austin said with a smile: "No, you can learn it. We are not a big company, just a studio. Accounting is very simple. If you learn it, you will be able to do it well."
"But, but I don't know how."Emily still didn't have the slightest confidence.
Edgar Austin stood up, pulled her to the desk, and then pressed her on the chair while directing her, "Then click on OfficeSl..."
Emily followed Edgar Austin's instructions step by step and was very nervous.
Kaiden Barlow walked in and saw Edgar Austin teaching Emily how to use the computer. He smiled and said, "Emily, don't enter the Japanese AV website, otherwise you will learn badly."
Emily asked curiously: "What is a Japanese AV website?"
Edgar Austin said: "Learn from you and don't listen to his nonsense."
"Oh."Emily responded obediently, and then glared at Kaiden Barlow with her big black eyes.
Edgar Austin asked Emily to practice by himself. He called Kaiden Barlow aside, told Kaiden Barlow his plan, and then said, "Do you think this will work?"
Kaiden Barlow said: "You just have to make up your mind. This studio is yours. I will follow you no matter what you do."
Edgar Austin smiled and said, "We used to know so many people when we were working on the construction site. If you think anyone is down-to-earth and willing to work and has good skills, just contact them and ask them if they are willing to come. As for the salary, we can open it up a little bit. A little higher to give people something to think about."
"Okay, how many people are needed?"
Edgar Austin thought for a moment and said, "Five, just five. If there is a need in the future, we will recruit more."
Kaiden Barlow said, "I'll make a call right away."Edgar Austin nodded, "Go ahead, you might as well say hello early."
Emily learned to use the computer, Ma Xiaoan called someone, and Edgar Austin paced back and forth in the studio, thinking about where to install the new equipment after it came back.
A car stopped on the road opposite the studio, the door opened, and Lola Gellar got out of the car. Wearing a white round-neck T-shirt, tight denim shorts, and a pair of light-colored high-heeled sandals, her body is filled with a youthful atmosphere and is so sexy and charming.
Edgar Austin saw her and thought, "Is she coming to me to pretend to be her boyfriend again?"
