After leaving Siegel's house, Fred patted Hardy on the shoulder and said, "It can be seen that Mr. Siegel likes you very much. Fuck Hardy well."
"Yes, boss." said Hardy.
I drove back in the Ford, thinking about attending the party tomorrow and how I would need a suitable suit.
It would be better to have a good car.
Siegel said we could bring a female companion, but I don’t have one. I wonder if Marissa is interested?
Thinking of Marissa, Hardy turned the steering wheel towards Marissa's house. When he got downstairs, he found the door was locked. Marissa should have gone to learn acting at this time.
He knew where Marissa had her class and drove there.
After class, Marissa went downstairs with two pretty girls and chatted about what the teacher had said. As she walked out the door, she saw a tall and handsome figure standing on the street.
"Joan, why are you here?"
Marissa ran to the man happily.
"I'm going to a party and I need a suitable suit. You know men are not very good at choosing clothes. Do you have time to be my advisor?" Hardy asked the woman.
"If I have time, I have no classes in the afternoon so I can accompany you." Marissa said with a smile.
He turned around and waved to his two female companions, "Cheryl, Evie, I won't have lunch with you."
The two women smiled and waved goodbye. When Marissa got in the car and left, Cheryl shook her head. "This man looks okay, but judging by the way he's dressed and the car he drives, he definitely doesn't have much money. Why would Marissa be with him?"
"Maybe he's been blinded by the so-called love, hahaha." Ivy said with a smile.
Hardy didn't know that he was despised by the two women.
"What price range of suits do you want to buy?" Marissa asked.
"High-end. Tomorrow night is going to be a high-end party."
“High-end suits are not cheap.”
"It doesn't matter, let's take a look first."
Marissa looked at Hardy and thought that if the man couldn't afford it, she would sponsor part of it.
Arriving at the most prosperous commercial district in Los Angeles, with high-end shopping malls and specialty stores on both sides, the two walked into the Brooks Brothers store. Hardy had heard of this brand, which was said to have been founded in 1818. It is an American luxury men's clothing brand, and more than forty American presidents have worn their suits.
Marissa helped pick out a suit, which fit Hardy perfectly. He had a good figure and was a natural clothes hanger.
"Great Jon."
Marissa now affectionately calls Hardy Jon.
Hardy was also very satisfied with the suit. "This is it, Marissa. Help me pick out a coat, two shirts, two ties, a belt, and a pair of leather shoes."
He planned to buy the whole set directly to avoid going to other places.
After putting on all his clothes, Hardy looked extremely energetic. He had a good figure and his suit perfectly showed off his handsomeness.
After counting the bill and leaving, the total was over seven hundred dollars. Hardy paid the bill without any pressure. If Marissa's two female companions saw him now, they would definitely not think of him as a poor boy with no money. This is why they say that clothes make the man.
"Come with me to buy a car," said Hardy.
"You still want to buy a car?" Marissa was a little surprised. The cheapest car costs more than a thousand dollars, and the better ones cost two to three thousand or even four to five thousand. Those luxury cars even cost tens of thousands of dollars. This is not a small amount of money.
The two arrived at the car dealership. Hardy did not look at the cheap Fords, but instead looked around the luxury car area. He finally set his eyes on a beautifully shaped sedan.
Packard is a well-known luxury car in the United States. Its logo is a swan with its wings spread. Unfortunately, in 1958, Packard Motor Company went bankrupt due to a series of policy mistakes. The Packard brand disappeared from people's sight forever and became a swan song in people's memory.
The car that Hardy liked has a dark blue paint and a white roof, which is very recognizable and looks elegant and generous overall.
"How much is this car?" Hardy asked the salesman.
"US$7,850." the salesperson said with a smile.
The car is beautiful and the price is beautiful too.
"Okay, I want this car."
The salesperson was overjoyed and took Hardy to pay the bill. Marissa was surprised that Hardy had become so rich all of a sudden, but she felt relieved when she thought of his identity.
In this world, perhaps no one can get rich faster than the gangs. Sometimes they can make a lot of money just by making a deal.
"Please deliver my Ford to No. XX, XX Street and park it on the roadside," Hardy ordered.
"Don't worry sir, we'll send someone to deliver it to you right away." The salesperson took the Ford car key with a smile.
Hardy drove Marissa away in a luxury car. Sitting in the car, Marissa looked at the car and then at the man. "Hardy, it seems that you attach great importance to the party tomorrow night?"
"Well, there are many Hollywood stars attending the party tomorrow night. I can't embarrass the host since I was invited by him," said Hardy.
"A party for Hollywood stars?" Marissa asked enviously.
"Hardy, when you get back from the party, tell me who you saw, okay?"
Hardy smiled and looked at Marissa.
"I can bring a female companion. Are you interested?"
Marissa covered her mouth in surprise, "Hardy, is it true, you are going to take me with you?!"
"Would you like to?"
"Yes, yes. I'd love to." Marissa nodded excitedly.
But then she became nervous again, "It's such a high-end party, I need to prepare well, I don't know if I have the right clothes."
Hardy looked at Marissa, who looked a little flustered, and said with a smile, "Help me pick out clothes. As a thank you, I'll give you an evening dress."
"Really? Wow, you're so nice, Hardy." Marissa hugged Hardy and gave him a big kiss.
chanel store.
Marissa picked out an evening dress, with a black lace upper body and a long plaid skirt at the bottom, which made her look dignified and sexy, elegant and charming.
This skirt alone costs more than six hundred dollars.
In this era, more than 600 US dollars is equivalent to three months' salary for an ordinary person.
No wonder many less famous new stars, or even out-of-date stars, choose to rent clothes when attending events; it turns out that it is really expensive.
It was already evening when we finished shopping for clothes.
Send Marissa home.
The woman leaned over the car window and looked at Hardy with a dazed look in her eyes, "Do you want to get in and do it?"
"What?"
"Help me see if my evening gown fits me."
"I'm afraid I'll tear it up."
"No, that won't work. I can't bear to let you tear off such beautiful clothes." Marissa kissed Hardy on the face and ran upstairs happily with the clothes box.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow evening," Hardy shouted.
"Okay~!"
......
I drove my luxury car to Bill's house and parked it in the garage. Bill's old Ford sales company had already delivered it and it was parked on the side of the road in front of the door.
Open the mailbox at the door and find the car key inside.
We drove to the gathering place in the downtown area. Henry, Neil and a few other guys were chatting in the lobby. They stood up immediately when they saw Hardy come in.
"Things have been arranged with the gang, and everything is going well," said Hardy.
Everyone had a relieved expression on their face. As long as there were no problems with the gang, it meant that their share of the profits would be safely in their pockets.
"Anything going on with the Spanish gang today?" Hardy asked.
When they left in the morning, Hadi told them to go out and find out what was going on.
"A few of us went out to investigate separately, and we just came back to discuss the situation. Basically, the situation is the same. Dani from the Spanish gang is very angry. He has made it known that he will catch the people who robbed the casino at all costs." Henry said.
Hardy smiled. "That means they don't know who did it."
"The police have already opened a case and announced that they will conduct a full investigation, but there is not much movement within the organization," said Neil.
"The police are the least of your worries," said Hardy.
After the news was almost spread, Hadi told everyone: "Everyone should be more careful in the next few days and don't leak anything to the outside world."
"Starting tomorrow, Sean, Ryder, Richard, and Neil, you will continue to do your normal business and deliver goods to the bar."
"Henry, Matthew, Leo, and Chris, the four of you go out and continue to investigate the Spanish gang and see if there are any valuable clues."
"Boss, are you still going to rob the Spanish gang?" Matthew asked excitedly.
"No problem."
Hardy smiled.
