Chapter 515

"The leftmost ones are related to the film company. Next are the reports from the agent company, followed by the documents from the record company. These are the most. The rightmost ones are also the least. These are the other documents. Laffern, Roger, and Claude are all in front of you." In the middle of the villa's living room, Charlize placed the organized folders on the coffee table. Although she was no longer dressed as an office lady, her T-shirt, coat, and jeans did not diminish her beauty.

"Thank you." Adriaan, who was flipping through the things in his hands, nodded. After a few minutes, he began to fiddle with the documents in front of him.

"Frankly speaking, you did a good job, Charley. As a newcomer, it's already very good that you can do this. " Adriaan first praised her, then knocked on the document in front of him. "However, I still made a small mistake."

Charlize, who was smiling, could not help but be slightly stunned. He listened to Adriaan continue. "I said that the news of the company leaders should be put first. Remember Laffern, Roger, Garnett from the record company, and my personal accountant, Leggett. In addition, the news of Claude should be put first. I have to look at him first. "

"I'm sorry, Eide." Charlize did not say much. He put away his smile and nodded solemnly. Adriaan smiled and waved his hand. "You don't have to be like this. It's inevitable for newcomers to make mistakes. You said yourself that you should allow newcomers to make mistakes, so remember next time. Don't always look so serious. It doesn't look good. "

"I promise." Charlize nodded and then put on a relaxed expression. "To be honest, I never thought you would have … so many companies to take care of. I always thought you were just the boss of a film company."

"I like making movies, but I also like making money." Adriaan raised his hands and looked at Charlize for a few seconds before saying, "You know, Charley, I want to build my own entertainment empire."

Charlize raised his eyebrows in surprise. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he just shrugged his shoulders.

"I know it seems ridiculous. I'm not good at business and management, so I handed over the CEO of AC Media to my best friend, Claude." Adriaan chuckled. "But I have two strengths. First, I have a keen intuition — I believe that few people in this world can surpass me in this aspect — and second, I can think more. So it's easy for me to find the general direction in the fog. As long as there are outstanding people around me, it's not difficult for me to achieve my goals. Acquiring a few companies in just a few years might seem like a rapid expansion and a high risk, but I believe that sooner or later, we will gain huge profits. "

As he spoke, he looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with bright eyes.

"Well, Eide, I didn't say you can't do it." Charlize smiled and spread out her hands. Then she looked at Adriaan up and down with interest. "You know, my intuition tells me that your confidence comes from the heart. I believe it's not affected by what happened two years ago. It's really … very strange. "

"That should be a compliment, right?" Adriaan suddenly laughed. Then he thought of something and turned his head to look at the inner room on the right. He called out loudly, "Mrs. Galen."

"What's the matter, Mr. Adriaan?" Mrs. Galen came out. She didn't look very good. Kate and she felt like old friends at first sight, but now she left in a fit of anger. Moreover, she left because of Adriaan's philandering. She was naturally not very happy. Of course, there was also disappointment. She thought that Adriaan had turned over a new leaf. She didn't expect …

"Room 19." After Adriaan made a few gestures, Mrs. Galen answered. Then she turned around and walked inside. Although she was unhappy, she still had to continue her work. After all, she was the housekeeper.

Adriaan also knew what she was thinking, but he didn't intend to defend himself.

"You can stay in room 19. It's the third room from the left on the second floor." Adriaan said to Charlize. "If you don't have many things to do every day, you can go home as soon as you finish your work. Of course, if you think it's inconvenient to live here, I can arrange for a driver to pick you up. "

"It's okay. This is my duty, isn't it?" Charlize smiled slightly. Then she realized something. She straightened her face, picked up the document beside her, and said in a flat tone, "This is your recent schedule."

"What is it?" Adriaan, who saw her change, asked with a smile.

"This afternoon, I have a meeting with Mr. Claude to discuss the director of 'Delicious Love'; tomorrow at noon, Mr. Claude has a luncheon, and in the afternoon, he invited you to a private club to play tennis; the day after tomorrow, there is a charity auction, and at the same time, Miss Monica … wants to ask you out for dinner …" Charlize opened the document and read it for her, still maintaining her previous flat tone.

"Well, luncheon, I don't know what Claude is going to say this time," Adriaan sighed and looked at Charlize, who wanted to say something but stopped on second thought, "Is there a problem?"

"Nothing," Charlize denied flatly.

"This is not a good habit, Charley." Adriaan raised his eyebrows and said, "I hope you can be more honest. If you have any problems, just say it. Only smooth communication can avoid misunderstandings. You know, I have a lot of things that I need your help to deal with. "

"Even if it's … a private matter?" Charlize finally couldn't hold back.

"Well, it depends on the situation. If I think I can answer it, I will definitely answer it. If I think it's not easy to answer, I will tell you clearly that it's not easy to answer." Adriaan shrugged. "As for what you wanted to ask just now, I can answer it. Although Monica and I are dating, we are not boyfriend and girlfriend."

Charlize was slightly stunned, but then he thought of some rumors he had heard. He looked at Adriaan in silence and didn't say anything.

Adriaan smiled knowingly, then stood up and said, "Okay, let's go see Mandy Gale now."

"Now? The appointment is at three o 'clock, "Charlize reminded him.

"It's okay, I know where he lives. Let's go see him directly," Adriaan said as he walked out, and Charlize had no choice but to follow him.

After about half an hour, Adriaan drove to Long Beach, where Mandy Gale lived in an ocean view condominium. He was an Italian-American in his early thirties, and had been in charge of directing for almost seven years. He had also made three or four blockbuster movies. If it weren't for the lack of blockbuster movies, he might have already become an A-list director.

After pressing the doorbell three times, an irritated female voice came from behind the door. "Leave the things outside, we will come out and get them ourselves!"

Adriaan and Charlize looked at each other, then smiled and shook their heads. They simply knocked on the door and said, "I'm looking for Mandy. We have a date in the afternoon."

"Looking for Mandy?" The door finally opened, and behind it was a black-haired girl wearing only a bra. She frowned and looked at the two of them. "He didn't say anything about a date in the afternoon."

Even so, she still moved aside. After coming to the living room, the situation inside surprised Adriaan a little. Men and women were hugging each other in twos and threes, making out on the sofa and in the corner, as if no one had come in at all.

"Eide?" The voice came from the side. Turning his head, he saw a bare-chested man with a mustache walk out of the room, still zipping up his pants as he walked. Then, a young woman walked out from behind him, wearing only a bra and underwear. After glancing at Adriaan, she walked to the bathroom, with a white stain at the corner of her mouth.

Adriaan knew this woman, Elizabeth Mitchell. She was a pretty good TV actress and had also acted in a few movies. He didn't expect her to be with Mandy now. In fact, this was very normal. After meeting, they would ask each other out for a meal, then come back and sleep with each other. The next day, they would break up and never see each other again. This was a characteristic of Hollywood, where no one cared what was going on behind the scenes.

"I happened to have time, so I came to look for you in advance." Adriaan explained. He glanced around the living room and said, "Why don't we go out and find a bar or coffee shop?"

"No problem, there's the Everly Bar two streets away. Their gin is pretty good," Mandy said immediately. She then noticed Charlize, who was beside Adriaan, and her eyes suddenly lit up. "Who is this beautiful lady?"

"My personal assistant, Charlize Theron. Charley, this is Mandy Gale." Adriaan introduced them. After the two shook hands, he said in a half-warning tone, "Don't get any ideas about her, Mandy."

"Okay, okay, let's go." Mandy casually put on a few clothes and was about to leave when Y'lisabet came out of the bathroom angrily.

"What the f * ck is going on, Mandy?!" she asked with her hands on her hips. She was still wearing only a bra and underwear, and her figure looked pretty good.

"Hey, what do you mean what's going on?" Mandy opened her hands in confusion.

"I said, don't f * cking touch my things again! But what are those in the bathroom?! "she asked in a shrill voice.

"Damn it, how would I know what's going on? I'm going out now." Mandy waved her hand indifferently.

"F * ck you!" Elizabeth immediately gave him the middle finger, turned around, and walked back to the room.

"B * tch," Mandy scolded indifferently, and then called Adriaan and Charlize to leave.

This was just a catchphrase at this time, and it wasn't really a curse, so even if Elizabeth heard it when she entered the door, she didn't react. Adriaan also just shrugged. Although Charlize frowned, he didn't show any other expression.

After coming out of the Sea View Apartment, they each drove to the Everly Bar two streets away. After ordering two glasses of wine and some small talk, the two began to talk business. There was a small incident in the middle. Charlize was stopped by the doorman because she was under 21 years old. If it was at night, she might have been able to sneak in. Unfortunately, it was afternoon now. In the end, Adriaan guaranteed that she wouldn't be allowed to drink, so she was allowed to enter the bar.
