America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM...

Chapter 120. The part on the ship, please provide more details!

Flindersdale Restaurant, New York.

Eric leaned back in his seat with a look of pure enjoyment on his face; anyone who didn't know better would think he was having a wonderful time eating.

To be more precise, it's about how happy they are to be eaten.

Elena, that slut, is really something else; she always manages to pull off some amazing feats.

This scene was something that only happened in adult films. Eric never dreamed that she would pull this on him.

Translate this: what does "fucking fucking surprise" mean?

This is fucking a surprise!

"Hiss."

Under the table, Elena deftly twirled and leaped with her tongue, while her soft palms danced along.

This made Eric feel as if he were in both a world of ice and fire.

Seeing that he seemed a little off and that there was one less customer, the waiter came over.

"Sir, do you need any help?"

Eric quickly sat up straight and subtly crossed his legs to signal Elena to slow down.

"It's nothing, the food was just delicious, I really liked it, it tasted amazing."

The waiter immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for your review. This is the best encouragement for Flindersdale. Actually, we also have a signature cod dish that you might like to try."

Eric pointed to the plates on the table: "I think this is enough to enjoy. We can save the signature cod for next time."

"Okay, then I look forward to your next visit. Please call me if you need anything."

The waiter turned to leave, but as soon as he turned his back, he suddenly heard Eric let out a low growl of "Ah!"

He quickly turned back to Eric: "Sir, what's wrong? Is something stuck in your throat?"

Eric winked and pretended to wipe his face with a napkin. "It's nothing, I just accidentally splashed some soup on my face. It's alright, thank you!"

"Yes, sir!"

Eric breathed a sigh of relief once the waiter had walked away. That slut Elena must have heard the waiter's commotion and suddenly bit him, almost making him look bad.

If this gets exposed, this shameless slut will still have a conscience.

Thinking of this, Eric felt he had to teach her a lesson, so he quietly reached down with his right hand and gently slapped Elena across the face.

"what!"

As a result, the other party made a thirsty cry, which, although not loud, still attracted the attention of the elderly couple next to them.

The old man and woman looked at Eric strangely, then glanced around, seemingly searching for the source of the sound.

"Lana, it seems I'm really getting old. I think I was hallucinating just now."

"Honey, I feel the same way. It's like I can hear a woman's moans."

The two elderly people shook their heads and continued to enjoy their dinner.

Eric dared not move again and silently ate his food.

Why do I suddenly feel like I'm in a passive position? Elena has completely seized control of me.

"Alright, that's enough. Come out now."

"If you don't come out, I won't come out!"

Elena's soft voice came from under the table, barely audible to the two of them.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

Eating his food mechanically, Eric began to concentrate, intending to get himself out of the market quickly.

"Eric, what are you doing here!"

Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice rang out from not far away, and he subconsciously looked up.

Just a few meters away, an unexpected person appeared – Liu Xiaoli and her daughter Liu Yifei.

Liu Xiaoli walked over with her daughter, a delighted smile on her face. It had been quite some time since they last saw each other in China, and they had only exchanged a few text messages in between.

She said happily, "What a coincidence! I never expected to meet you here. Fate is really amazing sometimes."

"Yes, yes, it's really amazing. Weren't you guys in China? How did you suddenly end up in New York?"

The other party was so enthusiastic; they were practically friends, so Eric couldn't just ignore them.

Liu Xiaoli sighed: "China is a special case, isn't it? They haven't opened up yet, and we don't know how long it will last."

"We've been cooped up at home all day, and our work has stopped. It's been a long time since we've been back to see Feifei's grandma, so we came back."

As she spoke, she tugged at her daughter's arm: "Feifei, it's not like we've never met before. You're usually quite lively, why aren't you saying anything?"

After Liu Xiaoli and Eric spent a night together, she went home and only told her daughter that she had gone to see him, the vice president of MGM.

The purpose was to pave the way for her daughter to enter Hollywood in the future, and the process was naturally glossed over. As for whether Liu Yifei understood it or not, the mother couldn't guess.

It's best if you don't understand, but it's okay if you do. After all, in this industry, you can't develop without resources and connections. The mother and daughter understand this implicitly.

Liu Yifei smiled slightly, a little reserved, and extended her hand, saying, "Hello, Mr. Cooper, it's nice to see you again."

"Hello, Crystal."

The two were still standing, and in principle, Eric should have stood up and shaken hands with her.

But given his current condition, if he dares to stand up...

Then it's not a problem of the filling being exposed, it's a problem of the rolling pin being exposed.

Fortunately, given his status, the Liu mother and daughter dared not show their displeasure, even though they were unhappy.

"Feifei, don't call him Mr. Cooper. Just call him Eric like Mom does. Don't be shy," Liu Xiaoli said with a smile.

Eric nodded: "It's okay, I'll call you by your name anyway."

"Okay, Eric."

Liu Xiaoli nodded: "Yes, that's right. You know Eric, after our last conversation, I found Feifei a professional martial arts instructor."

"Besides attending acting classes, she now practices kung fu for an hour every day and can already perform several sets of punches."

Liu Yifei said shyly, "Mom, the teacher said that I was just putting on a show, just posing for the sake of posing."

"What's wrong with posing? Jackie Chan and Jet Li pose too, you know. Hey Eric, what's wrong? Are your eyes bothering you?"

Eric forced a laugh: "It's nothing, it's nothing. Kung fu is all about looking good. The big screen doesn't need real combat, ugh."

"Eric, are you really alright?"

"It's alright, it's alright. How about this, we'll find some time to have a proper chat another day. The waiter over there is inviting you to your table."

Liu Xiaoli nodded in delight: "Okay, you said it yourself, don't forget."

"Don't worry, I always keep my word. Their food is very good. Go and enjoy your dinner."

After dismissing the two, Eric thought to himself, "I can't be bothered to see you," and lowered his head again, pretending to eat.

With one hand resting on her forehead, her expression was completely obscured. However, upon closer observation, one would discover a complex mix of emotions, a thousand feelings intertwined.

After calming himself down, Eric looked around and, when no one was looking, tapped on the table: "Elena, come out quickly."

Upon receiving the signal, Elena quickly crawled out from under the table, her face flushed.

But all these actions, though swift, did not escape the eyes of the old man beside him, who happened to see Elena crawl out from under the table.

As a man in his sixties with a wealth of experience, he naturally understood what the couple at the table were doing and realized that he wasn't hallucinating.

Seeing the old man's shocked expression, Ericla grabbed Elena and got up to leave.

As Eric passed by the Liu mother and daughter's table, he nodded to them.

Elena gave Liu Xiaoli a mysterious smile and licked her lips, revealing a sexy and seductive expression. She had just noticed that the Chinese woman had also seen that scene.

Watching the two leave the restaurant, Liu Yifei called out to Liu Xiaoli, who seemed a little lost in thought, "Mom, what's wrong? Eric's gone, what are you standing there for!"

Liu Xiaoli rubbed her temples, thinking about where she and her daughter had just been standing, and couldn't help but curse the little bastard for being so daring.

This is a public place, they're so daring.

After finishing their meal, the two went into a nearby movie theater.

Looking at the movie poster in front of him, Eric pointed to *The Matrix Reloaded*: "How about watching this one?"

Elena nodded: "Whatever you want, there's nothing I like anyway."

"So what kind of movies do you like?"

"I don't like watching movies."

"Um, shall we leave?"

"It's okay. Watching movies isn't my hobby, but I like the atmosphere. It makes us look more like a couple."

"Don't look at me like that, you just played a game that couples play on me."

Elena smiled slightly and said, "Eric, you always have such a charming way of speaking, but I know in my heart that age is a chasm between us."

"I can be your sister, I can be your aunt, but I can never be your lover."

"Ashley and Mary, they are more suitable for a young person like you. I would be very happy if you could end up with either of them."

"Hmm, what if I want both of them?" Eric asked with a smirk.

Elena poked his forehead with a finger in annoyance: "Little guy, don't be too greedy. You already have too much."

"But I'm just greedy. What kind of man is he if he's not greedy? I not only want two, I want a third, a fourth!"

As Eric spoke, he squeezed Elena's buttocks hard.

"Ouch! You're hurting me! Who do you want as the third one?"

"Of course it's you. You're a real gem, completely different from Ashley and Mary."

"And the fourth one?"

Eric shrugged without saying anything, took the movie tickets, and led the woman towards the theater.

I chose a seat near the back edge, but The Matrix was indeed a huge hit; even in its second week, the attendance rate was still very high.

In front of them was a young couple, and soon after, several young children sat down next to them, chattering about the plot.

"You still haven't told me who you want for the fourth one?" Elena seemed to be pestering her, continuing to press the issue.

"That was just an approximation, I just said it offhand, did you really take it seriously?"

"Hmph! Don't give me that two-faced nonsense. If you didn't have something on your mind, you wouldn't have said it so openly. Let me guess, it's her, isn't it?"

As she spoke, Elena leaned closer and whispered a name in Eric's ear.

"OMG! How could you be so filthy? Your thoughts are so disgusting!"

Elena chuckled coldly, "Heh heh heh, looks like I hit the nail on the head, Eric Cooper, you're a shameless, pure-blooded bastard, you actually want little Elizabeth, are you planning to wipe out the Olson family in one fell swoop?"

Eric silenced her with a deep French kiss, saying, "Keep your voice down. Do you want the whole world to know? And don't mistake speculation for fact. I see little Elizabeth as a promising talent and a little sister. I just want to nurture her."

"Train? Fine, I'll remember what you said today. Just don't let it end up in bed with you."

"I promise I won't take the initiative, okay?"

At this point, the movie begins, and the Warner Bros. logo appears at the beginning of the credits.

Seeing this logo made Eric angry, and he wondered if there was any hope of ever getting the rights to "Tom and Jerry" back.

As for classic old movies like "Gone with the Wind" and "Ben-Hur," to be honest, they have high artistic value, but very low commercial value.

He would be willing to spend more money to buy back the copyright to "Tom and Jerry".

Eric considers The Matrix Reloaded to be the best of the trilogy, both in terms of action and plot.

So even though he had watched it many times before, he could still immerse himself in it with great interest.

Elena, on the other hand, frowned and yawned frequently, looking drowsy.

Seeing how intently Eric was watching, she suddenly pinched the man's thigh.

"Hiss... What are you doing now?"

"This is so boring. This is definitely not an activity for me. Let's go."

Eric looked at her speechlessly: "Are you kidding me? You were the one who suggested watching a movie, at least let me watch this part of the film."

He pointed to the big screen, which was showing a scene of the virus twins chasing the main characters on the highway.

This segment was filmed on a highway that the Wachowski brothers built specifically for the purpose of filming, and the results are excellent.

"But I don't understand it. Can you tell me a story to cheer me up?"

"Hey lady, you came to the movie theater not to watch the movie, but to listen to my story? Are you kidding me?"

"Are you going to tell me or not? Are you going to tell me or not!" Elena said, pinching his thigh while pouting.

"Okay, okay, what do you want to hear? I'll just say a few words, just a few words."

"Then tell me how you, Ashley, and Mary got together."

"What!" Eric looked at her in surprise.

"Hurry up! Tell me more about the ship's part!"

That night, the Olsen sisters, far away in Los Angeles, were enjoying services at a beauty salon.

Mary answered her phone when it rang.

After talking for a while, she hung up and looked at her sister happily: "Ashley, Eric didn't lie to us, Aunt Elena saw him in New York."

"one person?"

"Yes, it was just him, and he even met with a senior executive from Hasbro."

Ashley smiled too: "Now you can rest assured, I knew Eric wouldn't lie to us."

Mary nodded: "That's a great idea. If that guy goes to New York in the future, we can ask Aunt Elena to keep an eye on him, like planting a nail next to him."

The two sisters were in high spirits and comfortably closed their eyes to rest.

Beautiful

That's enough driving for now; we'll get back to work tomorrow.
