After negotiating the Pepsi-Cola deal with Walter Michael and settling most of the San Francisco issues, Hardy prepared to return to Los Angeles.

As for the details, that is the job of his subordinates, and Andy will arrange them.

After returning to Los Angeles, Hardy telegraphed Victor in Hong Kong and told him that a batch of medicines would be delivered soon.

Victor called back immediately to say he understood and would do a good job in Hong Kong. In fact, he didn't know what kind of medicine was delivered.

There are 1,200 bottles in a box of penicillin, and there are only 80 boxes in total for 100,000 bottles. They only take up a very small corner in a container and are not noticeable at all. However, when this batch of goods is shipped to Hong Kong, it may be worth millions.

......

Christmas is coming soon.

After a month of promotion, Ghost was officially released. Hardy meant to release it during the Christmas season. At that time, there was no concept of movie release dates.

The movie was released a few days before Hardy returned to Los Angeles. Due to the good pre-promotion, ABC TV station played trailers in rotation. The movie became a hit as soon as it was released and every theater was sold out.

MGM predicts that the film is likely to gross over 10 million U.S. dollars.

Hedy Lamar is on fire again.

Hedy Lamarr became famous as soon as she took off her clothes, but people only remembered her as a sexy actress who was beautiful and had a good figure. She didn't produce any good works later and was gradually forgotten.

Last year, she appeared on the Playboy magazine, which brought Hedy Lamarr back into the public eye. This time, in "Ghost", Hedy Lamarr's acting skills exploded, making her a big star in people's minds.

Many film critics gave high praise to Hedy Lamarr's performance, saying that her acting was genuine and natural, with strong emotions, and that she has a chance of competing for this year's Oscar for Best Actress.

As for the male lead Li Gen, people also gave him positive comments. In the past, Li Gen was just a second-rate actor, but now thanks to this movie, he can definitely become a first-rate star.

When Hardy came back, Li Gen reported to him about the Screen Actors Guild. Hardy asked him if he was still willing to work here or concentrate on acting. Li Gen said without any hesitation: "Mr. Hardy, I found that I really like the work of the Screen Actors Guild. I hope to continue doing it."

"You're not afraid of delaying your career as a star. You should know that you're famous now. You'll get a lot of film contracts in the future and you'll earn much more money than being an assistant," said Hardy.

Li Gen shook his head. "Many people talk about the acting skills of actors. In fact, most of the time, it is all due to the plot and script. Why do some actors perform well in one drama but not in the next? Is it because their acting skills have declined drastically? It is mainly due to the subject matter."

"It's rare for an actor to meet a good role in his life. It's extremely lucky to meet a few good roles. Most of the time, good roles are hard to come by. I've been acting for more than ten years, and finally met Ghost. I'm satisfied that I played a good role and was remembered by people. I want to do something I like more in the future."

It seems that this family is involved in politics for a reason.

Many times, the path a person takes is determined by nature and destiny.

Hardy contacted Hedy Lamarr. When the woman knew that Hardy had returned, she excitedly said, "Hady, I haven't been to the cinema yet. I've been waiting for you. I hope you can go to the cinema with me. Do you have time?"

"Of course there is time."

Hardy went to pick up Hedy Lamarr. Hedy covered her face with a scarf and walked into the cinema with Hardy. Although the movie had been released for a week, the attendance rate still reached 80%.

While the movie was playing, Hedy Lamarr kept holding Hardy's hand, and when the movie ended, someone applauded, which immediately attracted many people to applaud.

People were still discussing the plot after the movie was over.

"This is the best movie I have ever seen. I also hope to meet a lover like this and protect her even if I die."

"Hedy Lamarr's acting is so good. I used to think she was pretty and had a good figure, but now I know that her acting is so strong."

“I want to watch it again.”

"I'll come with you to watch another show in two days."

Hardy and Hedy Lamar got into the car. Hedy grabbed Hardy's hand, her eyes full of passion. "Hardy, take me to your manor, okay?!"

Hardy nodded slightly.

In the room,

On the big bed,

The two collided violently.

Hedy Lamarr vented her excitement in this way. She had waited for this day for too long. She felt extremely satisfied both mentally and physically.

Afterwards.

Hardy stood up and took out a jewelry box from the drawer, opened it and placed it in front of Hedy Lamarr, "This is a Christmas gift for you."

"Wow, so beautiful."

Inside the jewelry box is a pair of beautiful diamond earrings.

In the middle is a large diamond of about three carats, surrounded by countless small diamonds, like a sunflower, about the size of a dime, shining with colorful light under the light, very gorgeous and noble.

You can tell at first glance that it's worth the money.

Among the treasures Hardy had obtained from a French winery, there were diamonds and various gemstones. One day, Hardy remembered them and found a top jewelry company to re-polish and redesign them to customize a batch of jewelry.

Things that are not used are wasted.

Hardy took off her earrings and turned over. Under the light, Hedy Lamarr vaguely saw the initials of her own name, which made her even more excited. She hugged Hardy and kissed him non-stop.

......

the next day.

Hardy went to see Han Ye-jin. Han Ye-jin was going back to San Francisco to reunite with her parents for Christmas. Hardy smiled and said, "How about I take you home?"

"It's a long drive, no need."

"Haha, let's fly there."

A B-29 bomber took off from the airport. On the plane, Han Ye-jin looked at the big bed and said, "You really know how to enjoy yourself. Are you going to take a nap on the plane?"

"Long-distance flights can be very tiring, and having a bed will naturally be more comfortable." After saying that, he pulled Han Ye-jin to sit on the bed.

Han Ye-jin felt a little embarrassed by Hardy.

"This is a gift for you. I wish you a Merry Christmas in advance." Hardy took out a box and gave it to Han Ye-jin.

Han Ye-jin opened the box.

Inside is an exquisite platinum necklace, which is very thin and inconspicuous, but the pendant below is extremely beautiful. It is a ruby ​​cut into a teardrop shape, weighing about 6 carats.

Simple and elegant, yet extremely noble.

“So beautiful~!”

Han Ye-jin is also a woman, and there is no woman who is not attracted by jewelry.

"Shall I bring it for you?"

"Um."

Hardy lifted Han Ye-jin's hair and helped her put it around her neck, placing the teardrop-shaped gem on her chest.

"Do you like it?"

"like."

The two looked into each other's eyes and slowly came closer together.

Lips and teeth depend on each other.

Suddenly the plane trembled and encountered an air current, and the two of them fell onto the big bed.

Don't get me wrong.

No machine shock.

The plane landed at San Francisco Airport in less than an hour. Hardy did not get off the plane, but said goodbye to Han Ye-jin directly. Someone came to pick her up outside.

The plane refueled at the airport and did not return to Los Angeles, but flew directly to New York. Hardy wanted to see Ava Gardner.

The movie "Inception" is nearing its end, and the crew is currently filming the final scenes in New York. Ava called Hardy and told him that she felt very sorry and sad that she couldn't come back to spend Christmas with him.

"Bang bang bang~"

There's a knock on Ava's hotel room door.

"Who is it?"

When Ava opened the door, she saw a large bouquet of flowers held in front of her. A man was standing behind it, but the man's face was blocked by the bouquet of flowers and could not be seen at all.

Ava frowned slightly. She thought it was a suitor. She had encountered this kind of thing many times before.

The flowers slowly fell, revealing Hardy's smiling face.

“Ah~~!”

Ava screamed excitedly and threw herself at the man.

"Hadi I missed you so much."

"Me too, Merry Christmas."

The two of them turned and entered the room, and the door closed with a bang.

When other guests heard the shouting, some of them curiously opened the door to check what was going on, only to see several burly men standing at the door of Ava Gardner's room. They were wearing black suits and sunglasses and looked like they were not someone to be trifled with. They immediately retracted their heads.

night.

Hardy took Ava to a famous restaurant in New York. Ava wore a beautiful evening dress that showed off her graceful figure.

Especially the gorgeous diamond necklace on her slender neck was so eye-catching. When Ava walked into the restaurant, she attracted the attention of men and women here.

Many people naturally recognized Ava.

Her records have now sold millions of copies. In people's minds, she is the top singing star in the United States. ABC TV station broadcasts MTV every day, and Ava is a frequent guest on it.

Look at the men again.

Young and handsome.

Someone who didn't know Hardy whispered to his companion, "Is Miss Gardner looking for a gigolo?"

His companion looked at him with contempt and said, "That's Mr. Jon Hardy, the owner of ABC. A few days ago, the newspaper reported that he acquired Wells Fargo Bank. His assets should be several hundred million dollars now."

"Hundreds of millions, bought from there."

Although those who can enter this restaurant have some wealth, they are still far from being able to face a billionaire.

Everyone thinks it is normal for a man like this to have a beautiful woman.

Ava sat down.

Touch the necklace around your neck lovingly.

When Hardy took out the necklace, she screamed again excitedly. After Hardy helped her put it on, she immediately ran to the mirror to look at herself.

Inside the tall floor-to-ceiling mirror,

It is the perfect naked body of a woman.

A flat belly, slender thighs and full breasts make a woman look like a statue of Venus.

When the two were getting ready to go out for dinner.

Ava wore an evening dress and a necklace. It was actually very cold in New York during Christmas, but it couldn't stop the woman's enthusiasm.

......

the next day,

Hardy returned to Los Angeles and it was Christmas Eve in a blink of an eye.

Irina walked out of the ABC TV building after get off work and was stopped by a man in a suit at the door. "Ms. Irina, my boss asked me to invite you to a place."

Yilian naturally recognized that this was Hadi's bodyguard and got into the car.

They arrived at a small two-story villa in Beverly Hills. The lights in the room were on. Yilian looked at the bodyguard, who smiled at her and said, "The boss is waiting for you inside."

Yilian opened the door in surprise.

The man was seen sitting on the sofa with a smile on his face. The firewood in the fireplace was crackling, and the room was very warm. Hardy waved to Irina, and Irina quickly came to Hardy's side.

"What is this place?"

Irina sat next to Hardy and held the man's arm.

"This is your Christmas present. You don't have to rent a house anymore." Hardy said with a smile.

Irina covered her mouth in surprise, revealing a look of surprise, "It's for me, oh my god, is it really for me?"

"Sure. Would you like to see your house?"

"Okay, okay."

This small villa is not big, with two floors, about 500 square meters, and small courtyards in the front and back. It is inconspicuous in Beverly Hills where luxury houses are everywhere. The decoration inside is very warm, and Yilian likes it very much.

That night,

The two of them conducted a thorough test of the firmness of the bed.

After taking a bath,

Hardy took out another box, which contained a diamond brooch, a ram encrusted with diamonds.

"I remember you're an Aries, so I asked someone to make this for you."

Irina hugged the man tightly in excitement.

......

Christmas is here.

But there was no snow in Los Angeles.

Santa Claus didn't come, but Hardy did, and picked up Elizabeth Taylor to go on a shopping spree with her.

They ran to the playground again, and the two skated there. Taylor fell into Hardy's arms several times.

We returned to Hardy Manor in the evening. After dinner, the two sat in the yard to watch the fireworks. There was a fireworks show tonight, and the fireworks were so beautiful when they bloomed in the sky.

The weather was a little cold, and the two of them were wrapped in a quilt, with Taylor nestling in Hardy's arms. Taylor liked this feeling very much.

"Mr. Hardy, I'm going to be 16 soon."

Taylor turned and looked at Hardy with big purple eyes.

"Haha, don't worry, you will grow up soon." Hardy kissed Taylor's pretty face.

He took out a box from behind.

"A Christmas present for you."

When I opened the box, there was a sapphire necklace inside. The large sapphire weighed 10 carats and sparkled with a charming blue light under the light.

Taylor loves the color so much that she rides on Hardy excitedly and then lies on the man and kisses him.

The two of them played a little late today.

But before 12 o'clock, Hardy still took Taylor home.

When Sarah saw Taylor's sapphire necklace, she was filled with envy. Although she was a mother, she was also a woman.

Each woman gave a gift.

With so many girlfriends, the gifts I give are also many times more, so it is not easy to be a sea king.
