The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 75 Black Boy

Fox Center, Channel 11.

This time is different from the past. Claire took Hawke directly to the producer's office.

Megan Taylor saw Hawke and didn’t find the laptop bag, so she was surprised: “Aren’t you here to deliver news?”

Hawke came to her desk and said, "I just went to the supermarket to buy some things and brought them to you."

Megan was quite surprised: "You want to give me a gift?"

Hawke took out the pepper spray and placed it on her desk: "Be careful of the shorty gang."

“Thank you.” Megan put it away and said, “Please sit anywhere you like.

After Hawkla pulled out a chair and sat down, she asked, "Did the Shorty Gang bother you again?"

Hawke smiled and said, "No, maybe my house left a deep impression on them."

Megan thought of connecting the safe to electricity, and was afraid that the other party would not be able to get electricity, so she installed a pin bar, and couldn't help laughing: "When I have a day off, you go and help me modify the safe at home."

Of course Hawke wouldn't refuse: "Any time."

Megan rarely relaxes in her busy and stressful job and jokes: "You can enter the home security industry."

Hawke pretended to be serious: "I will apply for a patent later."

Megan fiddled with the pepper spray in her hand and said, "Do you think the Shorty Gang is so bold as to retaliate against the Fox anchorwoman?"

"They dare not. They can't afford to offend Fox." Hawke knew very well that the so-called gangs could not even stand up to big companies and groups. He reminded: "Cockroaches can't threaten people, but they can disgust people."

“I’ll pay attention.” Megan wanted to say something when there was a knock on the office door.

A subordinate came in and said, "The copy is out, and you need to finalize it."

Hawke offered to leave.

Megan went to the editing room.

Hawke returned to East Hollywood and made some more changes to the studio.

The next day, after Edward came over, Hawke specifically gave him some new precautions to prevent Hei Xiaoshuai from becoming too arrogant.

Edward wrote them down one by one and said, "Boss, I've discovered that you are actually a defensive conservative."

Hawke was disassembling a Glock 19 for routine maintenance and said casually, "Do you know what a conservative is?"

Edward said, "Isn't he just a conservative person?"

Hawke shook his head: "Thinking that radicals are too conservative, that's what conservatives are."

Edward said he didn't understand.

Hawk assembled the gun and asked, "Savior, can you use a gun?"

Edward said, "There's no black man from Compton who doesn't know how to use a gun."

Hawke put away the things on the table and said, "Let's go to the shooting range today. I'll take you to sign up and get a gun license..."

Edward waved his hands repeatedly: "Boss, I think it's better not to carry a gun." He pointed to his face: "People like me carrying a gun, whether I have a license or not, it's easy for the magazine to be emptied."

Hawke called him over and said, "Let's go. Drive to the Suttle Mountain Shooting Range."

Edward had no choice but to follow.

When they arrived at the shooting range, Hawke was familiar with the place and signed up for Edward, but encountered some trouble during the background check.

Black people from Compton are a key population.

Fortunately, Edward had no criminal record or arrest record, and he successfully passed the background check for purchasing a gun.

As for the classes and exams, Edward nearly exploded when he heard about it.

He pressed a newly purchased pistol into Hawke's hand, "Boss, point this at me and empty the magazine."

Hawke didn't answer and said directly: "Very good, starting this week, your bonus will be halved."

As soon as these words came out, Edward quickly changed his tone: "Boss, don't worry, I promise to study peacefully."

He hadn’t even finished reading Happy Education, so he was unsure and his voice immediately dropped again: “I may not be able to pass the exam…”

Hawke walked towards the shooting range: "The prize money will be cut in half again."

Edward felt as if the sky was falling, and he vowed: "I promise I can pass it."

When Hawke arrived at the shooting range, he found the last assessment coach playing with a slingshot, so he went over to chat with him.

Slingshot was his favorite thing when he was a child.

Hawke was excited to see the hunting opportunities, and after hearing that they were sold at a shooting range, he went and bought two pairs of rifles, along with a large bag of steel balls to practice with and get a feel for them.

…………

St. Joseph's Hospital, Orange County.

At the door of the ward, Caroline Jones sat on a bench, watching Steve Nutt pace around anxiously, feeling dizzy.

The Los Angeles Dodgers star is about to become a father.

Caroline sent her assistant away: "Amanda, go buy me a bouquet of flowers."

Amanda hurried on.

The door of the ward opened at this time, and a doctor came out and said to Steve Nutt: "Mr. Nutt, congratulations on becoming a father. Daisy and the child are both well."

Steve stopped and smiled: "Thank you! Thank you!" He pointed to the door of the ward: "Can I go in?"

Because he was too nervous, he was sent out by the doctor early.

"Not yet." The doctor explained: "We still have some finishing work to do."

Steve was very happy: "I'm waiting, hurry up."

The doctor opened the door and went back.

Caroline came over and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Steve."

Steve said, “When I see the child, you announce it to the outside world.”

Caroline nodded slightly: "I have prepared the copy."

A nurse slid over and whispered, "Steve, can we take a picture together? Please."

Steve was in a very good mood at the moment and responded, "Sure."

The nurse took out a Polaroid camera and asked Caroline to help take a picture. When the picture came out and the image was complete, she asked Steve to sign it.

After a while, the door of the ward opened again, and a nurse came out first, pushing medical waste, followed by others.

Steve got the doctor's permission and couldn't wait to enter the ward.

Caroline followed in, pulling her camera from her bag to take pictures of Steve and Daisy for her blog.

As for the child, we'll have to ask a professional photographer from People magazine to take the photo. After all, the copyright was sold for $150 million.

Steve entered the ward, quickly walked through the suite's living room, and headed straight for Daisy's room.

He looked at his wife lying on the hospital bed and kissed her haggard face: "My dear, you have suffered."

Daisy smiled and said, "Look at our angel."

The newborn baby was sleeping soundly in the crib next to him.

Maybe because he was born too recently, his skin is red.

There was a knock on the door. Caroline opened the door and Amanda came in with Steve's agent Byers, bringing a nanny with them.

Caroline and Byers entered the room and placed the flowers on a table away from the baby.

The nanny went to take care of the baby.

The four of them chatted for a while, and then the baby suddenly started crying.

Daisy turned around in the bed and saw the child's face, her expression suddenly changed.

Steve also went over and was stunned on the spot.

The newborn baby's blush gradually faded, revealing its black skin!

Black people’s black skin!

Steve subconsciously touched his face and looked at the mirror on the wall, and was completely sure that he was a fucking white man.

Looking at his wife Daisy, her skin was even whiter than his.

Steve backed away and plopped down on the couch.

Daisy murmured, "No, no..."

Caroline also saw the baby's skin color and reacted very quickly. She immediately said to Amanda, "Go guard the door of the ward. No one is allowed to come in without my permission."

She walked a few steps to the nanny and said, "The salary we agreed on will be increased by 50%. Please give me your phone!"

The nanny looked at the child's parents, then at the baby, took out her cell phone and handed it to Caroline.

Caroline then said to her agent, Byers, "Have someone draw up a new confidentiality agreement right away. Communicate with the hospital immediately and emphasize again that they must not disclose any information about the Nates and their child."

Byers was out, too.

"This is not my child!" Steve recovered and stared at Daisy: "You and I are both white, how could you give birth to a mud boy!"

Daisy argued: "Well... maybe the child has mutated."

In a panic, she made up an excuse: "You went to Koreatown last time and bought Korean soy sauce. Then we did that. It must have contaminated your skin."

Caroline signaled to the nanny to take the baby to the outer room first.

Steve was even more angry: "Not only did you insult my personality, you also insulted my intelligence!"

Daisy had not expected this to happen: "Maybe your ancestors had black people."

"Your ancestors were the only ones who had black people!" Steve retorted.

Daisy suddenly realized: "Yes, my ancestors have black people, my ancestors had black people."

Steve stood in front of the bed and pointed at himself: "Do you take me for a fool!"

He shouted angrily: "You cheated on me and betrayed me!"

Daisy opened her mouth but no words came out.

Steve was furious: "I'm going to divorce you and let you and your kid go to hell!"

"Is this all my fault?" Daisy was also angry: "How many times have you cheated on me? Do you think I don't know? It's okay for you to have sex with white women, but you also have sex with black women!"

Her voice became extremely sharp: "You had sex with your black teammate Wilson's wife and got her genes, so you gave birth to a black child!"

Steve yelled, "Okay, I admit you messed around, but you also got pregnant and lied to me that this is our child!"

"This happened after the incident in the swimming pool. I thought it was yours." Daisy was tired and in pain, and she was about to collapse: "Could it be that the day before, when Wilson and I were in the hotel..."

Hearing this, Steve remembered: "Wilson, you fucked Wilson, he's my teammate!"

Caroline, who was standing next to them, had a terrible headache, wondering if there were any normal people among these celebrities? Or did people seek different kinds of excitement when they had money and fame?

Finally, the noise on the other end quieted down a bit. Out of public relations duty, Caroline reminded, "Daisy, Steve, do we still need to send out the routine press releases and photos? People magazine has been waiting for a call! We can control the news about the child for a while, but it will definitely get out in three or four days at most."

Steve sat down dejectedly: "You are the PR, what do you say?"

Caroline said, "Please don't talk, drink some sugar water each, and calm down for five minutes. I will ask again in five minutes."

The two of them were angry and stopped talking.

Five minutes later, Caroline said, "You are about to have a huge public opinion crisis. Please cooperate with me. If you act willfully, you must have seen what happened to Miller Collins..."

She asked directly: "Think about it, don't answer immediately, do you want a divorce?"

Steve opened his mouth to talk about divorce, but when he thought about their shared business brand and the possible consequences of divorce, he shut his mouth.

Daisy knew very well that she was just a has-been model, and that she had everything she had now because of Steve, so she quickly said, "No, I don't want a divorce!"

Caroline looked at Steve, who shook his head slightly.

"In that case, let me tell you about the major problems you will encounter next." She explained one by one: "Once the child is exposed, your crisis will be exposed to the public. Your career and business brand will be affected, and the brand you endorse may terminate the contract with you."

Daisy tried to say, "The child is not exposed, or there is a medical accident, and the baby is stillborn."

Caroline said, "The hospital won't cooperate with us. This is ruining their recruitment. Regarding exposure, I need to remind you that you received $150 million for the exclusive licensing agreement with People magazine. If you breach the contract, you will not only have to refund the full amount, but also pay the same amount of liquidated damages. The angry People will also seize this public opinion crisis and attack you with all their might."

Steve put his head in his hands for a long time before he gritted his teeth and asked, "What's the solution?"

Caroline hesitated for a moment and said, "I have drawn up a preliminary plan. Daisy admits that she had a one-night stand after getting drunk. Steve, you publicly forgive Daisy and say that you will fulfill your fatherly duties and raise the child wholeheartedly. Then we will communicate with People. What the magazine needs is popularity. As long as there is popularity, they will not consider this a breach of contract."

Daisy said: "Steve and I's reputations would be damaged and endorsements would be dropped."

Steve asked, "Isn't there a better solution?"

"This is the most effective public relations plan, which can minimize the negative impact." As Caroline spoke, a figure suddenly flashed through her mind.

Her public relations plan, and even the style of the Full Speed ​​​​PR company behind her, are mainly stable.

But that guy is very wild.

Caroline also thought of the most important point. Steve and Daisy’s public relations fees were paid to the company at a fixed amount every year, not to her personally.

The guy promised to give her a cut.

Caroline said, "Someone might have a solution."

Steve asked anxiously: "Who? Hurry up and find that person!"

Caroline said, "West Coast Media Entertainment Studios, Hawke Osment."
