Chapter 139 Under the London Starlight(1/2)
When his boss was held in his hand by someone else, the other party's employees came down and looked at us blankly.
I walked up to the fat man and smiled slightly: "Sir, I just want to retrieve the things I lost, don't want to cause trouble, and don't want to be in trouble with your company. I don't think you want to see the newspaper tomorrow that Andrei is really like that. I can't imagine what your boss will do to you."
I nodded to Holkina, who put the fat man down.
"You are Andre, I like your movies very much." A stiff smile appeared on the fat man's face.
This time I recognized me. Why didn’t I say I like my movie just now?
Some people are like this. If you don’t give them some colors, they won’t know that you run a dyeing shop. There is a saying that if you don’t want to be a mother, they won’t know that you are his father!
Although the words are a little vulgar, there are some truths. This fat man naturally knows how his superiors will deal with him if he is published on the newspaper. The salary deduction is light. If he is not properly suspended, he will not be so stupid that he lost his job for a batch of goods.
"Mr. Corleon, what did you lose?" The fat man waved to the employees and asked the people to go out, then took out many black notebooks from the drawer.
"There are mainly ten cameras, and there are also many equipment needed for shooting." I handed over the list in my hand.
The fat man stood up and took the list respectfully, then opened one of the books and checked it carefully.
"Mr. Corleon, your shipment is still available here in Detroit." The fat man pointed to a page on the notebook and said to me.
I stretched my head and saw that there were many things listed above, including those ten cameras.
"I don't care where it was thrown away. Anyway, you didn't give it to us when our people went to pick up the goods." I turned my head and looked at the fat man.
"What I said is, it is our responsibility. You are here first, and I will ask you personally." The fat man smiled politely to me, then walked out of the room step by step, stood in the aisle and shouted at his subordinates.
After about twenty minutes, the fat man ran back.
"Mr. Corleon, I figured it out. It was our employees who confused the goods and sent your goods to a storage company in Detroit." The fat man was sweating heavily.
"What should I do?" I spread my hands.
The fat man kept apologizing to me and said, "I'll send someone to chase you."
I said to James and the others, "You guys come here too."
James was able to understand it at a glance, and knew that I was worried about Fatty's subordinates, so he took Howard and others to follow him out.
I stayed in Fatty's office while drinking coffee while chatting with Fatty. Unexpectedly, this guy is a veteran movie fan. He knows a lot about the movies. He talks about movies with unique insights. When I heard that I was going to London, Canada to shoot a new movie this time, Fatty was so happy.
"Mr. Corleon, you don't know that London is my hometown! That's a coincidence!" The fat man grabbed my hand and said, "My name is Totty's mayor!"
Well, the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple and we won’t know each other until we fight.
"That's great! There are still many things that we have to trouble Mr. Stanford in this movie." I pretended to be surprised.
Totty patted her chest: "Mr. Corleon, aren't you worried about the castles and levels? This is no problem. I have many friends in the local area who are engaged in construction. With their help, it will definitely be completed on time. And I will tell them the price, it won't be very expensive."
"Mr. Totti, thank you so much!" I stood up and shook Totti's hand.
"Mr. Totti, I apologize to you for what just happened." I smiled.
"I should apologize wherever I am. I'm so embarrassed to have something wrong with what I am responsible for." Totti's face suddenly turned red.
We chatted for about an hour, and James and Totty's gangs rushed back.
"Have you recovered it?" I said anxiously.
James nodded vigorously: "It's so dangerous. If you're a little later, those ten cameras will be mixed with a cart of beef and transported to Detroit."
Holgina next to her stuck out her tongue after hearing this.
"Mr. Totti, thank you very much for your help. Let's do this, to express my gratitude, I'll treat you to a meal." I told Totti.
Totty waved his hand hard and said, "Forget it, Mr. Corleon, your time is very tight, and the movie is more important. Besides, it's not too late now. If the border closes in a while, you will have to wait until tomorrow. Anyway, we will meet again in the future. Let's have this meal when you come back from filming the movie. I'll treat you to you at that time!"
Everyone in the room burst into laughter.
After saying goodbye to Totti, after completing the procedures and entering the Canadian border, the checkpoint behind us began to close and ended our day's work.
It's dangerous, I can only wait until tomorrow if I'm late. I can't tell, that I think." James smiled.
I glanced at him, then pointed at James, Valent and others and said, "If we hadn't been lucky today, you guys would have almost ruined a big deal! When something happens in the future, you should use your brain and don't swing your fists at all." James and others were scolded by me and were speechless.
After I was so happy that I sighed, looking at the pile of things under my feet, and then looking at it, it was getting late. We can't carry these things to walk to London. You must know that it will be at least half a day from here to London.
"James, go there and ask if you can rent a car." I pointed to a large street opposite.
James and Howard ran over with a groan. It was not too late, so they got a car over.
After negotiating the price with the boss, we put the goods in the car and took the car to London.
Compared with the United States, Canada is not only a large area, but also has few people. Although this area has always been Canada's economic and political center, cars have driven all the way, and in addition to some small towns, there are large areas of wild land that still maintains its original style.
The strong wind in the field was blowing, and the long grass on the ground was undulating with the wind. In the distance was a black forest that could not be seen, and further away was a brilliant sky dyed red by the rays of sunset.
"It's so beautiful. It's very similar to my hometown." Holkina sighed.
Canada and the Soviet Union are on the same latitude, and they are both vast and sparsely populated. When Holgina said this, I really thought I was driving on the Siberian plains.
After driving for two hours, the terrain in front of me began to change.
The originally open plain began to rise little by little, and in some places, the slope was even 45 degrees larger, and the car had to hover before it could go up. The original forest that could not see was replaced by higher and denser grass. Many places were deep valleys, covered with forests, and in the distance, under the vast sky, there were vast lakes, like an endless sea.
Looking at the scenery in front of me, a huge joy surged in my heart. Although Bala and the others had told me that this place was similar to the Scottish Highlands, I did not expect it to be so similar, every grass and tree, plateau grassland, deep forest valleys, and vast lakes, making this place a different Scotland!
"That's great! That's great!" I repeated this sentence no less than a few hundred times along the way.
The car drove for a few hours, and at night, the driver pointed to a place with flashing lights in the distance and told me that it was London, London, Canada.
"You have come to the right place. Although our London is not as prosperous as the United Kingdom, it will definitely have more charm than them." The driver smiled and showed his white teeth.
When we arrived in London, Barra and Griffith had been waiting for us for a long time.
"Boss, have you recovered the batch of things you lost?" Griffith was extremely anxious when he met.
I whispered to the carriage: "It's all inside."
Only then did the group of people feel relieved and help unload the goods from the car.
Bala and Stenborg, who arrived first, did not live in the city, but chose the base to beside an "ancient castle" outside the city. The area within a radius of dozens of kilometers has now been rented to us by the local government. We can use it at will without destroying local natural resources. Of course, it was based on paying a sum of money.
When we arrived at the station, the owner of the castle, the owner of a local fishery company, held a grand dinner to welcome me. We all made a fuss until midnight, and then we returned to the station one by one drunk.
At night in the highlands, there will be a long-lasting strong wind. The strong winds rise from the ground and then swept over, making people stand in the wind like a bird, feeling like flying.
I walked alone on the high ground, in the dense grass, with the starry sky above my head, and the sound of the wind and the rippling lake water sent to me. For a moment, I seemed really drunk.
This world, the vast world, seems to belong to me alone.
This feeling is incomprehensible to those who have lived in the city since childhood and can only see steel and concrete and a gray piece of sky as big as a palm.
It seemed as if Tao, buried deep in the darkness, was the mood when she saw the light when she was dug out of the ground.
There is a huge feeling of relaxation and detachment, which can touch the true self in the depths of the soul than at any time.
I lay down in the grass, listening to a high ground worm chirping in the distance, as if I heard a sound from heaven.
"You will catch a cold like this." Just as I squinted my eyes and enjoyed everything from nature, a laugh came from beside me.
I quickly got up and found a stone not far away sitting on Jiabao.
"It's so late, why don't you sleep? I'll be busy from tomorrow." I smiled.
Jiabao cut his hair to one side, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It looked like a deer standing by the stream drinking a clear mountain spring, pure and cute.
"It is because I am busy tomorrow that I ran over. There is such a beautiful night view outside, and it is a waste to go to bed. What about you, why did you come here?" Jiabao looked at me, his eyes shining brightly under the stars.
"I
Come out and have a breeze." I sat down next to me, from the one I sat down: B is in the distance, under the stars, and there are occasionally one or two o'clock on the lake, which is the fisherman at night.
"My hometown, Sweden, has such nights. At that time, I was very young. My father went out to sea with many people and came back very late. I couldn't sleep, so I stood in the attic and looked outside. Sometimes, there would be heavy fog that would make you unable to see anything. Then the fog slowly dissipated and the bright moon would come out. The sea breeze blew the window lattice very loudly, making your face hurt, as if you were going to get into your body. I stood in the attic and often poked out half of the window.
I went all over, spread my arms in the wind, and imagined myself as a bird. At that time, as it is now, there were stars on my head, waves in the distance, and there was a little light on the sea. Later, I fell asleep on the floor of the attic and vaguely heard the door downstairs being bounced open, and I smelled a fishy smell of the sea. I knew it was my father who was back, and then I ran down barefoot and pounced on his wet body. How happy it was at that time."
Jiabao looked at the lake in front of him and said to himself, as if I didn't exist at all. Her face was a happy and satisfied smile.
Looking at her look for some reason, my heart suddenly twitched.
"Then you are not happy now?" I smiled.
Jiabao was like a dreaming child being disturbed. He turned his face and was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "It's not unhappy now. You know, people always remember the most profound things in their childhood. After all, it is the most beautiful moment in a person's life. When they grow up, the more things they know, the more they know, and the more they feel that they know about the world. But in the end, they realized that we are actually getting farther and farther away from this world. What the boys in our hearts saw was that the windy night was covered with layers of dust. No matter how we wiped it, we could never go back."
Jiabao's words seemed to come from the deepest part of my heart and the softest part.
Why don't I think so?
She said she was getting farther and farther away from the world, so why didn’t I? The boy who was dreaming under the stars who stayed in her memory was becoming more and more blurry, and finally she grew white hair.
The two of us sat quietly, no one spoke, looking at the distance in a daze, and the surroundings were quiet, only the bug child screamed in a short voice.
"We are going to act in the opposite scene together again." After a long time, Jiabao suddenly said something that made me confused.
"Yes. God bless me to stop getting pneumonia." I whispered.
Jiabao was amused by my words and looked at me, and there was something in his eyes that he hadn't had before. That thing made my heart start to tremble slightly, trembling like the grass next to me.
Looking at each other, I was defeated.
I smiled, picked up a small stone beside me, stood up and threw it out into the distance with all my strength.
"Believe it or not, I can throw the stone into the lake!" I turned around and smiled at Jiabao.
