Chapter 569

"What's the matter, dear Yini? I have a guest here. "Trump hurriedly stood up.

It was a young girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old. She had long, silky brown hair that fell to her shoulders. She was about five feet ten inches tall. She wore a ginger jacket, a narrow skirt, and five-inch heels that accentuated her graceful curves. She also had an indescribable elegance, delicate, charming, and full of vitality. However, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and she seemed to be a little unhappy.

"Aren't you forgetting something, Dad?" She asked her father in a dissatisfied tone.

"Did I forget something?" Trump recalled, but still couldn't remember what it was.

The girl rolled her eyes, glanced at Adriaan, and whispered a few words in her father's ear.

"Ha, I know, but now I still have some things to deal with, so … please help me greet them, okay?" Trump then chuckled. The interesting thing was that he was talking to his daughter in a negotiating tone.

The girl was obviously used to this kind of thing. She rolled her eyes again and let out a long sigh. "There won't be a next time, Dad."

"There won't be a next time, I promise." Trump said with a smile, but his tone was not sincere. Then he thought of something. "By the way, let me introduce you. This is the famous Hollywood miracle director Adrian Kewell. He is also the chairman of AC Media. He is young and promising. Eide, this is my most outstanding daughter, Ivanka Trump. "

"Nice to meet you, Miss Ivanka." Adriaan, who had been watching the show, got up and extended his hand. To be honest, he really forgot that Trump had a very outstanding daughter.

"You are the famous playboy?" Although Ivanka shook hands with him, she spoke impolitely. She looked at him with surprise, curiosity, and a little disdain. "No wonder you are so agreeable with my father."

"Hey, Yini! Don't be too rude. " Trump cried a little awkwardly. He was also a man who liked to pursue beauty. According to Adriaan's memory, his daughter seemed to have reached an agreement with him not to pursue girls younger than her brother, so it was not surprising that she spoke like this now. She was indeed a girl with character, wasn't she?

Adriaan smiled and didn't seem to take her words to heart. He thought carefully and said, "If I remember correctly, Ivanka is now a model, right?"

"Yes, she entered the elite model agency during the summer." Although he looked at Trump, Ivanka answered first.

But Adriaan didn't turn his head. He still looked at Trump and said, "You see, this is perfect. What are you waiting for, Donald?"

"I admit that this is a proposal that I like very much, and I am indeed a little tempted, but I am not sure if I am qualified." Trump didn't relent. After all, people who had built a foundation were not stupid.

"What are you talking about, Dad?" Ivanka, who hadn't left yet, asked curiously.

"Oh, it's like this. Eide's TBS TV station is preparing a model talent show. He wants to invite me to be one of the judges. It's interesting, isn't it?" Trump explained with a smile.

"Invite you to be … a model talent show's … judge?" Ivanka raised her eyebrows and looked at Adriaan with more hostility.

"Yes, I think your father is very suitable, Ivanka." Adriaan's eyes swept over her face and still didn't stay too long. "Stand in the position of an outsider, but have some understanding of the industry, and then express your own views and opinions on the potential commercial value of the other party."

At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, "Actually, this should be a piece of cake for you, so I have other considerations. I have a very interesting business-related reality show idea, which needs a successful person who is full of passion, infinite vitality, and likes to show himself. From the current situation, you are very suitable. I want to conduct a comprehensive observation through this cooperation. Besides, we also need to broaden our horizons in New York. "

He spread out his hands and ended his words. From beginning to end, he didn't look at Ivanka.

"Oh?" Trump's eyes suddenly lit up. Although Adriaan's invitation was very tempting, and the business reality show seemed to be very interesting, he was more willing to hear the last sentence.

"Yini, dear, can you help me greet the guests outside first? I will be out soon. "He then changed his tone to speak to his daughter.

"Okay, Dad." Although Ivanka still wanted to say something, she was not the kind of girl who didn't know what was important. She immediately nodded and went out of the study, but at the moment when she closed the door, she still looked at Adriaan with annoyance.

The negotiation with Trump didn't last long. The two sides just exchanged rough views. It was more appropriate for Claude to negotiate about the business issues, but the two reached a partial consensus. Then Adriaan explained some of the details of America's Top Model to him in detail, and finalized what Trump wanted to see most. With his personality of being in the limelight, he wouldn't refuse the cushy job of being a judge.

The next day, Adriaan returned to Los Angeles, and the following matters were handed over to Claude. As a sign of respect for Trump, he would soon go to New York to make an appointment. As for Ivanka Trump, frankly speaking, she was indeed a very beautiful and unique girl, and Adriaan was quite excited to see her.

However, a girl like her was not easy to get. No matter how unique her family education was, she was, after all, a proud daughter born with a golden spoon in her mouth. She had a very high starting point from birth, and naturally had higher aspirations. However, women were women after all, and they would always be curious. As long as they felt curious — for example, a man known as a playboy never looked at her from beginning to end, as if in his eyes, she was not beautiful — then the opportunity would come, and now was just the beginning.

Ding, ding, ding. The crisp sound of a spoon hitting a glass rang out, and some noisy guests suddenly stopped talking. Adriaan then raised his glass and stood up.

"The male lead has said a lot before, so I won't say so much here, lest I be robbed of the limelight by complaints," he said with a smile, and it immediately caused a low burst of laughter.

"I've watched Dan get to where he is today, step by step. He is a cheerful and passionate person, and also a warm-hearted and sincere friend. I'm very happy that I discovered him back then. Now that he has finally found his other half, I believe that he will soon spend the rest of his life with her, and here, I wish them the best. " As Adriaan said this, he raised his glass to the man and woman sitting at the head of the table, and the people next to him followed suit.

"Thank you." Dennis Knight, who was smiling from ear to ear, raised his glass in response. Jennifer Aniston, who was beside him, was also smiling like a flower. She looked bright and beautiful. A woman immersed in love was indeed beautiful.

This was Denis and Aniston's engagement banquet. After the filming of "Shakespeare in Love" and "Elizabeth," the two began to prepare, and finally set the first day of December. This gave Adriaan enough time to go to New York for Thanksgiving and take care of some matters, and then he showed up here with Kate.

The scale of the engagement ceremony was not big, held in Denis's villa, and not many people attended. Aniston's parents came, but they still did not get along. Even at their daughter's engagement ceremony, they argued more than once in a low voice, but fortunately, they did not bring their lovers to attend. On Denis's side, only his mother came. His parents were also divorced, and his relationship with his father seemed to be very bad. He rarely talked about his family, and Adriaan did not ask.

Other than that, there were some close friends, such as the other five main characters of "Friends," David Fincher, Adriaan, and Kate.

"When do you plan to get married? Do you have a plan? " After dinner, after the party began, Adriaan asked Denis and Aniston.

"Next year. The specific date has not been set, but it should not be later than next year," Denis looked at his girlfriend and replied with a smile. Aniston smiled extremely sweetly.

"Look at how happy she is," Courtney Cox sighed at the side. Courtney Cox sighed at the side. "I didn't expect you to be the first one to get married, Jenny."

"Oh, Courtney, we're almost old ladies that no one wants." Lisa Kudrow fanned the flames, while Matt LeBlanc elbowed David Xiu Meng. "Hey, Ross, Rachel is getting married, but the groom is not you."

"My heart is going to break," Xiu Meng said in a sad tone with a bitter face, which was followed by a burst of laughter.

Time passed really quickly. The scene of meeting Denis in the cafe was still vivid in his mind. In the blink of an eye, he had become an A-list star in Hollywood. Not only did he cause a love triangle with a beautiful female star and an American sweetheart, but now he was going to marry the sweetheart. Adriaan shook his head and then noticed a person in the corner.

"Hey, Matthew, everyone is teasing Dan and Jenny. Why are you sitting here?" he asked in a half-joking tone as he walked over.

"Um … nothing, I'm just … just a little …" Matthew Perry gestured as if he wanted to say something, but it couldn't hide his listless expression and thin appearance.

"I'm just a little sleepy. I'll be fine in a while." Perry was about to leave, but Adriaan grabbed his shoulder. "It looks like you still haven't gotten rid of those things, right?"

He stopped smiling and looked at him very seriously.

"I … I'm trying …" Perry forced a smile and avoided looking at Adriaan.

"Well, today is Dan and Jenny's engagement day, so I can't say much." Adrian sighed and tightened his grip on Perry's shoulder. "But that doesn't mean I will continue to let you be like this. Tomorrow, I will arrange a better doctor for you, and I will give you a month's time. If you still don't show any obvious changes by then, Matthew, I can only say sorry." Adrian sighed and tightened his grip on Perry's shoulder.

He patted his shoulder. "You know, this is Hollywood. No one is irreplaceable."

Hollywood had produced many stars, and at the same time, there were even more shooting stars. These shooting stars usually became popular because of a certain movie and quickly fell into the vortex of fame and fortune. They began to seek stimulation to indulge themselves, such as smoking marijuana, taking stimulants, or even drugs, and in the end, they quietly fell from the sky. This was especially true for child stars. There were very few who could pull themselves together like Drew Barrymore.

Matthew Perry was now caught in the same whirlpool. Before he acted in "Friends", he was just an unknown actor. Now, although he couldn't be compared to the stars on the big screen, he was considered one of the best actors in the TV series. So, he gradually became more indulgent. Things like partying in nightclubs had become a common occurrence, and he had begun to become addicted to alcohol and stimulants. Previously, he had appeared in the studio drunk more than once. Xiu Meng, LeBlanc, Aniston, and the others had tried to persuade him more than once. In the end, he agreed verbally, but in the end, he still went his own way.

Adriaan also knew about his situation. At first, he did not take it to heart and only asked the head of the TV department to persuade him. But after so long, it did not work, so he took this opportunity to give him a strong dose of medicine. Of course, it was good that Perry could recover, but if he could not recover, then he would have to replace him. He could not let him drag the entire TV series down by himself, right?

As for whether the replacement would affect the ratings of "Friends" in the future, that would depend on the ability of the TV department. A mature production team could minimize the impact of this kind of thing.

Well, the results would be known in a month, so there was no need to think too much about it now. Adriaan did not stay for long. Soon, he and Kate said goodbye to Denis and Aniston.

"It's really … enviable." On the way back, Kite, who was sitting in the car, suddenly said faintly as he looked at the street view outside with waning lights.

"Really?" Adriaan, who was holding the steering wheel, smiled gently. "Do you want to wear a wedding dress, Kate?"

Kate looked at him and did not answer.

"Although I can't give you a legally valid ceremony, I can still do it in private." Adriaan shrugged, then said with a hint of teasing in his tone, "Of course, I also want to try the feeling of pressing you against the wall in a wedding dress."

"Pervert!" Kate blushed and spat at him, but her eyes became hazy.

Because they deliberately kept it low-key, the news of Denis and Aniston's engagement was not known to outsiders. In Adriaan's life, it was just a small episode, if nothing else happened.

On the afternoon of the second day of the engagement, Denis ran to Adriaan's house. He looked lost, as if something terrible had happened.

"What's wrong?" Adriaan poured him half a glass of whiskey, then asked half-jokingly, "Did Jenny suddenly regret it and run away with someone else that night?"

Dennis smiled bitterly and took the glass without looking at it. He threw his head back and drank it in one gulp. Because he drank too quickly, he choked and coughed a few times.

"Slow down — okay, no jokes. Tell me, what happened?" Adriaan laughed and shook his head.

Dennis smiled bitterly again. He grabbed the bottle of wine and poured himself another glass. After gulping it down, he let out a long sigh of disappointment.

"Hey, buddy, if you don't say anything, even I can't help you." Adriaan's curiosity was immediately piqued.

"Okay, okay." Denis grabbed his hair and hesitated for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said in a difficult tone, "Eide, I think … I think if … if one day, you wake up … and find … not only your fiancée lying beside you, but also her best friend, what would you do?"

"Ha, then I must have had a wonderful night. I couldn't have asked more." Adriaan laughed.

"Oh, damn it, I knew I shouldn't have asked you about this." Dennis sighed and held his face in his hands. He seemed to be in despair.

"Oh?" Adriaan raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a faint smile. "You want to tell me, Dan, today you …"

"Yes." Denis continued dejectedly. At this stage, there was no harm in saying it out. "After I woke up from my hangover this morning, I had Jenny in my arms, Courtney was on my back, and Lisa was hugging Jenny."

"Wow! Congratulations! " Adrian immediately whistled. "You've done what most men in the United States dream of doing. You've hugged the three female leads of 'Friends' to bed together!"

"Eide!" Denis immediately wailed.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business!" Adriaan raised his hands, but in the next second, he burst out laughing again. Denis could only cover his face again.

"Alright, let's talk about what happened." Adriaan finally stopped laughing, then thought of something and asked, "I remember Lisa Kudrow is relatively conservative, and she seems to have a boyfriend."

"We broke up at the beginning of last year." Denis smiled bitterly and then waved his hand. "Anyway, it's all because of alcohol. At the end of the party, they forced me to drink so much that I forgot how to return to the bedroom. I only remember … the whole night was very … passionate … excited … as if there was endless energy that needed to be vented … Although … it's never been so … satisfying like this!"

As he said this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up. Obviously, he liked the feeling of madness very much. However, he immediately slapped himself hard in the face and returned to his previous dejected look.

It seemed that he must have tormented them quite a bit last night. Good boy, I'm only at the 3P stage, and you've actually reached the 4P stage. Not bad, not bad. You really have potential. I didn't waste my time. Although Adriaan thought so in his heart, he did not show it. He only asked, "So after waking up this morning, how did Jenny react?"
