Chapter 37: Fully Prepared
This time, Tao Xi wanted to convince Old West and successfully receive the first formal labor contract in his life.
It can be said that Tao Xi did a very good job!
Marco, a pickpocket who was once known as the most genius in the sewers, and the "Godfather", a Southern Brotherhood boss who had just been dragged away from the church in the Tenderloin District of San Francisco by Taosi, came to the door of Old West's single-family villa in person.
John Hughes saw that the combination of the three people standing at the door was very awkward~
But John Hughes couldn't tell what was wrong. "Hello, I want to thank you very much for my fiancée's affairs last time."
Tao Xi, who was just 1.7 meters tall, looked at the opposite John Hughes, who was much older than him, with a confused expression on his face as he reached out to him with his left hand. He didn't know how to parry the opponent~
Marco stood behind Tao Xi's butt with his neck curled up very obscenely, covering his mouth and snickering all the time. Fortunately, the big boss of the Southern Brotherhood, "Father", often went through various large-scale negotiation situations.
"Ahem, well, what! Tao Xi can't speak. I am Tao Xi's elder. My full name is Lai Hodges. I am from Tao Xi..." The priest finished this sentence
He turned around and glanced at Tao Xi. Although Tao Xi had known "Father" as early as during the black market boxing match, Tao Xi really didn't know "Father"'s name after having known him for so many years.
Today is the first time I know~
"Uncle! You are the same generation as my godfather!"
When Le Hodges heard that Tao Xi took the initiative to say that he was his uncle, Le Hodges grinned so big that it reached his ears. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes completely revealed the age of the godfather of the Southern Brotherhood: "Yes, yes, yes
!I am his uncle. I came here because I heard that you gave my nephew a full-year public relations employment letter, so I came here as his guardian."
John Hughes looked at the man in front of him, Leigh Hodges, who claimed to be Tousi's guardian, and suddenly had an illusion, as if the male protagonist in the famous Hollywood gangster blockbuster "The Godfather" was standing in front of him.
"Ah, hahaha, please come in, please come in." John Hughes smiled awkwardly but politely walked in front to lead the way for the strange combination of three people behind him.
The last time Tao Xi came and left in a hurry, he actually didn't appreciate the wealthy life that only belonged to the rich in San Francisco at all.
This time I came to Taoxi and it was really eye-opening under the guidance of John Hughes. Just after entering the single-family villa, there was a huge fountain pool, and there were several kinds of fish that Taoxi didn't recognize floating in it.
Oh, it's floating; behind the villa is a large dense forest. The reason why Tao Xi was able to sneak in quickly last time was because of the existence of this forest. I don't know if it was because of Adnan, but Tao Xi saw it with just the camera.
Seven, but with the discovery of Tao Xi's professional eyes, Tao Xi still found several visual blind spots.
There were two bodyguards standing at the door of the huge villa, but before Tao Xi looked at them, Le Hodges looked at the two bodyguards at the door and said: "Mr. John, if you need security at home, there is no need to hire one."
The existence of these showpieces and these people is completely unnecessary."
John Hughes was walking in front and was about to say something. Le Hodges' words were like opening a magic box in his heart: "My father-in-law spent a monthly salary of US$7,000 per yuan to hire them.
And they have all participated in many wars."
The two bodyguards deliberately dangled their suits, which were almost bursting with muscles, in front of Le Hodges, as if they were confirming something.
But Tao Xi was stunned. Although Tao Xi had made a lot of money not long ago, you must know that it is the 1980s. The annual consumption of a normal American white-collar family is about 30,000 US dollars. If Tao Xi's younger brother Hill hadn't prepared
Going to Harvard University High School, the money Tao Xi earned was enough for the three of them to live frugally for several years!
But now the two bodyguards can earn 7,000/month.
Tao Xi’s eyes are hot!!!
Before Le Hodges could speak, Tao Xi took the initiative and said: "If it were me, I would rather hire some people who often hang out on the streets. Although they are not as professional as these people, these people can only passively defend, they cannot be safe.
Effectively prevent things that are about to happen or will happen in the future!”
"For example, if your fiancée goes to the used car market in San Francisco to buy a car for you, some people walking on the street will know immediately that someone is paying attention to you!"
Tao Xi seemed to be afraid that what he said was not convincing, so he pointed at the camera at the door and said: "You said that if someone comes to threaten your employer, they will really abide by your logic.
Is thinking entering the door? From the time I entered the door until now, I have found 7 cameras that can be exposed to my field of vision! Don’t you know that if the perpetrator needs to detect the crime scene before committing the crime? "
When the two bodyguards standing at the door heard that Tao Xi was about to reveal the number of cameras in the villa, their expressions changed instantly. One of the bodyguards even wanted to use his big body to warn Tao Xi.
But Tao Xi was not afraid.
Tao Xi just grabbed his neck and resisted, and Marco didn't dare to fall behind and took the pistol from their waist~
Instead, John Hughes quickly ran to the monitoring room at the entrance of the villa and walked in. When he saw that there were really only 7 cameras inside, he screamed in the monitoring room: "whta fxxk!"
Instead, Le Hodges sat leisurely at the door and looked at the villa. Tao Xi directly took the pistol from Marco's hand and pointed it at the two bodyguards~
As soon as the two bodyguards saw the pistol in Tao Xi's hand and touched his waist, the two bodyguards instantly turned black~
The atmosphere at the door was instantly deadlocked!
"John! I want you to hire Mr. Taosi, is this how you entertain my friend?" Old West walked toward the door of the first floor of the villa with a cane in his left hand and the support of a woman.
John Hughes then walked out of the control room with an embarrassed look on his face~
"Old West, long time no see!" Leigh Hodges sat at the door and waved to Old West who was walking toward the door.
Old West's first reaction when he saw "Father" was to be stunned, but soon Old West smiled crookedly: "Oh, you old liar can actually have such offspring?"
"Me? Liar? Ha! If Lewis hadn't protected you back then, I wouldn't have stayed in prison for so many years."
Tuo Xi was surprised that Le Hodges and Old West knew each other, but Le Hodges did not take the initiative to explain, and Tou Xi was too lazy to deal with the old stories of the older generation.
"John, when my daughter marries you, I don't want her to be in fear of you every day!"
"I said that I have hired Mr. Taosi for you, and I hope you will stop turning a deaf ear to my words!" After saying this, Old West stood on the spot and tapped the cane in his hand hard.
The woman who had a relationship with Tao Xi glanced at John Hughes with a sad look on her face, and then hurriedly patted the old West gently on the back.
Tao Xi looked at John Hughes's face with great interest. Other Tao Xi didn't see it, but Tao Xi knew that John Hughes didn't mean what he said in this family!!!
"Let's go, Mr. Taosi, you go up with me, and let John Hughes solve the rest. I believe that he, a Hollywood director, can solve these problems!"
When Tao Xi walked into the room, he deliberately stepped on the toe of one of the bodyguards!
What surprised Tao Xi was that the bodyguard didn't say a word and didn't even look in Tao Xi's direction. However, Le Hodges inadvertently said in Tao Xi's ear: "You are really in the same mold as Bolton."
If you carve it out, you won’t suffer any loss at all!”
"I am thinking about the overall situation. If he were outside, I would definitely send him away!" Tao Xi blurted out these words without any intention of avoiding Old West.
Tao Xi could tell at a glance that this single-family villa was arranged for Old West!
There is actually a straight elevator in the lobby. The last time Tao Xi sneaked in, he didn't notice the existence of the elevator. The huge elevator gave Tao Xi the feeling of going to a Hilton Hotel~
Instead, Marco looked around furtively along the way. Le Hodges didn't say a word since he got into the elevator.
The huge third floor was divided into four rooms. Old West walked to the middle room with the support of his daughter. Tao Xi glanced at the inexplicable John Hughes who fell behind the crowd with wide eyes.
I felt sorry for him.
The inside of the house is very simple, with nothing extra except a huge double bed and a wedding photo from the 1960s hanging on the wall.
"Everyone, sit down, sit down."
Taosi sat down first when he heard Old West's words, followed by Le Hodges and Marco.
"Hmm~"
"After what happened last time, I was actually very worried, but this time after I saw Mr. Tao Xi's appearance, my heart that had been hanging in the air suddenly relaxed, because not everyone can be invited to the south.
The godfather of the brotherhood has come to my old West’s territory as a guest.” After saying this, Old West glanced meaningfully at “Father” Leigh Hodges, who was just
She shook her head and smiled and ignored him.
But Tao Xi was told by this old guy, Old West, that his face turned red and he didn't know how to deal with it.
"Actually, you don't need to be nervous. I'm just discussing the matter. Although you are still very young, I am willing to make a friend with you after hearing someone introduce you."
When John Hughes heard his father-in-law say these words, he couldn't help but look carefully at the downy cheeks of Tao Xi with a question mark on his face.
Although he is not valued by anyone in this family except his fiancée, he still respects his father-in-law very much. Although his father-in-law's reputation is only limited to San Francisco, the word "old and strong" means
Old West!
The reason why Old West has been able to survive the siege of the candy giant Mars Group until now is because he has many friends~
Seeing this, John Hughes was also cautious. He planned to apologize to Tao Xi for the bodyguard team he hired from Hollywood~
"Okay! I'm older, and the future of the United States belongs to you young people~"
Tao Xi's previous words were quite comfortable to hear, but Tao Xi still felt awkward about these words for a long time. After all, it was the ability of money that outweighed Tao Xi's desire to refute what Old West said~
Old West seemed to notice that Tao Xi was hesitant to speak. It was not until Tao Xi took out his Rwandan passport that Old West smiled meaningfully~
Marco, who had long been impatient, saw Taosi signing the lower right corner of the contract and immediately said non-stop: "The windows in your house should be replaced with snap-on insurance. I just saw that the windows on the second floor looked like
Got cocked!"
After saying this, Marco glanced at Old West with a proud expression, but John Hughes looked at Tao Xi with a resentful expression and said nothing.
"Ahem! Well, Marco, go ahead. Is there anything else in Mr. West's house that needs some security and anti-theft measures?" Tao Xi thought of the last time he climbed in through the window and coughed in embarrassment to cover it up.
.
"Ah? Oh, okay, the door lock downstairs cannot be used just because of the pursuit of beauty. It means using a direct-lock door lock. In Los Angeles County, there have long been sold multi-lock door locks. You can use it. This kind of door lock was used in the early years.
We have been too lazy to steal door locks for a long time, because those who use such door locks are poor people..." Marco said with enthusiasm and did not care about the surprised expressions on the faces of the old West family.
Finally, after Marco explained for an hour, the old West family was finally conquered by Marco's "talent"!
"You..." John Hughes looked at Marco's skilled lock-picking skills and hesitated to speak with a strange expression.
Marco saw John Hughes's expression and immediately replied with a proud face: "Just call me Marco~"
"Ah, oh, good, good! Marco, can you please provide me with a purchase list? Or you can tell me how much these things you mentioned cost, and I will pay you and you can help us install them~"
As soon as Marco heard this, his eyes instantly turned into "¥¥¥" symbols, but fortunately Marco was not dazzled by money yet. He first glanced at Tao Xi, and when Tao Xi nodded, Marco immediately
He lost his "master's demeanor".
Marco, who left the hall with John Hughes in his arms, went to count~
When Old West saw this, he shook his head and signaled to his daughter, who had been standing behind him, and his daughter immediately walked out.
The only ones left in the room were Tao Xi and Le Hodges~
