Chapter 118： Suddenly Peach Blossom Forest

The dazzling moon hung in the night sky, shining all over the ground. Ronan and Carmen Case left the restaurant and walked along the brightly lit Wilshire Street to the Four Seasons Hotel not far away.

With cars coming and going on the streets, Beverly Hills is extremely prosperous, and the nightlife has just begun.

Carmen Case took Ronan's arm and walked forward along the crowd.

Ronan pointed to a place across the road and said, "That's the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences."

Carmen Case stared at it for a while, and said, "Such a small place." She smiled and said, "I used to hear people say that the film school was a huge place."

"The Film Academy is a relatively loose organization, with close to 6000 members in total." Ronan explained briefly: "This is the residence of the academy management agency... Well, an organization management academy such as a board of directors, not too many people. The members of the academy are actually scattered throughout the United States and around the world."

Carmen Cass asked curiously: "Are you one of them?"

Ronan turned his head and continued to walk towards the Four Seasons Hotel. He said as he walked, "Not yet. I have only been in Hollywood for two years and I am not qualified enough. But I will apply to the college early next year. If it goes well, I will be in another year. One of the 6,000 members of the college."

Carmen Case thought of the model of the year he was competing for, and asked: "This member is helpful to your career?"

Ronan turned his head to look at her and said, "This is also an honor. I am eligible to vote for the Oscars. For example, I am a member of the Producers League. Once I become a member of the Academy, I have the right to vote for multiple heavyweight Oscars."

He thought about it, and then said: "The most important thing is that you can squeeze into the circle of film academies and broaden your network of relationships. There are many opportunities in which you can operate movies to compete for Oscars."

"Yeah." Carmen Case agreed: "Opportunities and relationships are very important, and so is the modeling industry."

The topic of the two always revolves around their career.

She whispered: "Many models have similar basic conditions such as step, appearance, and body shape. What they lack is just an opportunity. Signing endorsement contracts with six major blue blood brands will soon become a supermodel."

Ronan said, "Actually, the entertainment industry and the model industry have something in common." He thought of Carmen Case's business investment, and said: "Sometimes it is a good thing to jump out of the circle and look from a higher place."

"That needs corresponding ability." Carmen Kas, wearing a skirt, felt that the night breeze was a bit cool, and subconsciously tightened Ronan's arm: "I left the modeling circle and went to invest in other industries, and found that the ability was too poor."

Ronan took off his jacket and put it on Carmen Case's shoulders, and said, "Don't worry, take it step by step. I experienced a terrible failure and the company almost went bankrupt." He said of Little Anderson's experience: "At the time. I just left school, full of confidence, and feel that success can be achieved only by being full of talent. Not only is my ability insufficient, but I actually don’t have as many talents as I thought.”

Carmen Case laughed and encouraged: "Aren't you doing very well now?"

"You are not bad." Ronan repeated the old saying: "Carmen, I am waiting for you to become the richest man in Estonia."

Carmen Case’s hearty smile was a little more sly: "Then I wish you the richest man in the United States as soon as possible."

Ronan touched his chin: "It's too difficult."

"Why don't we make a bet?" Carmen Cass had a playful leap on her face.

Ronan looked at her curiously. From the earliest he realized that now, Carmen Case gave him the feeling that he was a very stable and very ambitious woman. Perhaps it was these similar things that made him treat Carmen Case There is a kind of inexplicable favor.

To put it bluntly, he doesn't like the kind of messy women.

This was obviously a joke among friends, Ronan asked, "What to bet on?"

Carmen Case stopped, looked at Ronan, and said, "Which one of us will become the richest man in each country first, how about?"

Ronan helplessly spread his hands: "Is this unfair?"

Who are the rich and famous in Estonia? Except for Carmen Case, no one knows.

What about the United States? Not to mention people like Lid, Ellison, and Buffett, David Geffen and George Lucas in the Hollywood circle are not easy to surpass.

"I'm a woman, and you're a man." Carmen Case tilted his head. "There is always a difference, right?"

Ronan smiled and agreed, "Okay." He asked again, "What is the bet?"

Carmen Cass thought about it, and said: "I said the content of the bet. The bet is yours."

Ronan didn't think much, and said casually: "A piece of Franklin."

Carmen-Cass understood what this meant and shook his head: "The stakes are too small."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "The loser asks the winner to do a round-the-world trip."

"This is fine."

The two soon came to the entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel. Carmen Cass took off his jacket and returned it to Ronan. Ronan pointed to the hotel: "Carmen, I'll take you up."

Carmen Case hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Okay."

Ronan accompanied Carmen Case into the hotel, took the elevator to the floor where Carmen Case was staying, and Carmen Case invited him into the room.

"Sit wherever you want." Carmen Case looked at the time and said to Ronan: "I have some work to deal with."

Ronan sat on the sofa and said, "You are busy first."

Carmen Cass smiled at him, took out the laptop radio, got busy, and when looking at the screen, he would say a few words to Ronan: "I have some work in business in Estonia, and models are always busy. I can only take time to deal with it."

"You give me a very different feeling." Ronan said directly: "It's completely different from the model I remember."

Carmen Cass flipped through the e-mail and said, "The model you have in mind? Life is chaotic, drinking and taking drugs..." She sighed slightly: "This situation is indeed very common in model circles, but it can be reached. Most of the first-line models are hard-working and self-controlling people."

Ronan knew she had misunderstood and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean that." He said seriously: "I mean most models have no long-term plans and don't care about the future at all. Most supermodels don't really belong to them. Careers are all about finding someone with good conditions to marry at the right stage."

"You know so much." Carmen Case turned his head and glanced at this side.

Ronan smiled and said to her: "You are a model, so I will learn more about this industry."

After handling the notebook, Carmen Cass closed the notebook, put it away, and asked, "Ronan, do you invest in other industries?"

"I only got out of bankruptcy this year." Ronan was very honest: "I don't have enough power for the time being. However, I have plans in this area and I cannot implement them temporarily."

Carmen Case asked, "What would you like to drink?"

Ronan said, "Water will do."

Carmen Case put two glasses of water on the coffee table, sat on the sofa next to Ronan, and asked, "What do you think of the real estate industry?"

Ronan thought for a while and replied: "The investment is big, the risk is big, and the profit is big." He was worried about misleading Carmen Case, and added: "I'm talking about the situation in North America. I haven't been to Estonia and didn't speak. right."

Carmen Kath asked again: "What about the Hollywood film industry? Is the return on investment high?"

"This industry is very complicated, especially for outsiders." Ronan said seriously: "There is no insider who can absolutely trust. Don't invest in Hollywood movies. There are many traps."

Carmen Case said, "I can trust you."

Ronan replied, "I can't believe in myself."

Carmen Case was stunned, and then understood Ronan's meaning: "You are also a trap digger."

Ronan first raised his fingers and made a silent gesture, and then said in a joking tone: "I'm a good person."

As soon as the voice fell, Carmen Case laughed, and Ronan laughed too.

The topic of so-called movie investment has also been shifted aside by Ronan lightly. Perhaps influenced by his previous life, he does not want to have a large financial dispute with Carmen Kath.

In modern society, entanglements in interests are too easy to tear up many close relationships.

Strictly speaking Ronan and Carmen Cass have met less than five times, but they have found a common topic that is of strong interest to each other. They talked from real estate in Estonia to the clothing industry, and from Hollywood The movie talks about Wall Street.

I have to say that Carmen Case does have a good insight in business.

The time was getting closer to ten o'clock in the evening. After looking at the wall clock on the wall, Carmen Case asked: "Ronan, you didn't drive, how can you get back?"

Ronan understood the meaning of these words and said: "There is a car rental in the hotel, I'll get down to get one." He stood up: "You rest early, and we will see you tomorrow."

Carmen Case sent him to the door of the room: "See you tomorrow."

Ronan walked out of the room and looked back at Carmen Case. Carmen Case leaned against the threshold.

"Carmen." Ronan looked into Carmen Case's eyes.

Carmen Case did not evade, Ronan lowered his head to kiss her, Carmen raised his head slightly in cooperation, four lips were printed together, and the two reached out to embrace.

It is as if Chu He met at noon, as if Qingming met the river map, the final result must be that one becomes the Yellow River and the other becomes the ocean current.

Ronan hugged Carmen Case into the room, kicked the door, and the door closed with a slam.

Carmen Cass faded her stability and showed all enthusiasm. Taking advantage of her breathing time, she whispered, "Don't be here, go to my bedroom."

Ronan picked her up and left, facing Carmen Case's enthusiasm that could melt everything, he could only use Qianli Jiangling in return.

Suddenly, Ronan had a wonderful feeling:

Suddenly there is a peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps across the bank, there are no miscellaneous trees, the fragrant grass is delicious, and the water is colorful. If you want to deplete its forests, if the forests have the water source, you will have a mountain, and the mountain has a small mouth, and you enter it through the mouth. Very narrow at first, talented people, repeated dozens of times, suddenly enlightened...
