Chapter 316 Club Retirement Ceremony

At five fifty-nine when the alarm clock was about to ring, Tommy opened his eyes, looked at the room with lingering sleepiness, and then sat up suddenly: "Shit!"

He glanced at the strange woman with messy long hair lying next to him. She was still sleeping soundly, with her arm still resting on his lower abdomen.

This is the German woman I met at the party after sending Sophia away last night. The exact origin is unclear. Anyway, she is an unknown German actress who came to Hollywood and wanted to be famous. She lives next door to her son in Beverly Hills. Parents of classmates, this woman had a few drinks alone and was not in a good mood. When Tommy came over, she complained to him about some issues about life, but Tommy did not remember it. He only remembered that this woman in her early forties did not. Wearing a wedding ring, he had a few drinks and rolled into bed.

 "Wake up! Madam!" Tommy lifted the blanket from the other person's body and urged the other person to get up.

The blanket was lifted up, revealing the other person's plump figure. Tommy couldn't help but whistle when he saw this scene, and then he reached out his hand and squeezed the other person's heavy lumps hard: "I didn't notice this beautiful thing last night. One scene.”

"What's wrong?" The woman opened her eyes lazily and took a look, then continued to close her eyes, swatted away Tommy's hand on her chest, and said in English with a German accent: "Go and find what you said to me last night. I have no objection to the first German woman I mentioned, you are a gentleman who does what you say, I am satisfied, please stop bothering me and let me have a good sleep."

At this time, the double bedroom door was pushed open from the outside. The woman who originally wanted to continue sleeping was suddenly frightened by the sound of the door opening. She grabbed a blanket and blocked it in front of her. Tommy sighed depressedly and looked at the visitor. He decisively betrayed the female companion beside him: "It was this lady who said she wanted to come to this bedroom...not me."

What walked in was an old woman in her seventies, with gray hair and a vigorous walk. She was wearing old-fashioned and monotonous clothes. She was holding a set of men's morning jogging equipment in her gloved hands. She looked at the man and woman on the bed expressionlessly. : “Jenny’s husband’s mother will definitely hate you if she knew.”

Noticing the unkind look on the other person's face, the woman slapped Tommy's hand that was still kneading under the blanket away and asked in a low voice: "She is... your mother?"

Tommy nodded without denying: "I remembered it. I told them that it would be more interesting to sit in front of the computer and play games all the time. It would be more interesting to do it. Whoever can open that ATM will have the cash inside as his bonus. But Remember to remind them that this kind of little game is only allowed in my house. I don’t want to see a group of young nerds smashing ATM machines on the street in Los Angeles today.”

 “Going for a morning jog?”

"The ATM machine they installed at home was broken by the children last night at your instigation. They spent seven hours trying various tools and finally took the machine apart, proving that physics Learn how to be strong, and withdrew more than 80,000 yuan in cash for today's expenses, and you promised to bear the bank's losses last night." Dorothy waited for Tommy to put on his equipment, prepared a glass of water, and then from her own took out a pill box from his pocket.

“They are going to visit Caltech today.” Dorothy handed Tommy the pill box and water.

"Correction, I am only of German origin. After I came to the United States to study in college, I applied to join the United States." The woman couldn't stand being looked at with such playful eyes by the same sex, so she hurriedly got dressed and walked out of the bedroom: "Goodbye, madam."

Dorothy pressed a certain button, and then the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window of the bedroom slowly opened, and the morning sunlight shone in from the outside. She hung her morning jogging equipment next to her and began to clean up the room as if no one was around: "Good morning, sir, After my morning run, the district manager from Bank of California asked to have breakfast with you.”

 “Just ignore me, just like I am doing now.” Dorothy looked at the other person.

“No, it once belonged to another German woman.” Dorothy looked at the woman with playful eyes: “So, it’s very interesting that you appear here.”

After all, when Tommy talked to her last night, he said that he was only fifty years old. Looking at Tommy's well-maintained face and strong muscles, the woman did not doubt that Tommy was actually sixty years old, old enough to be her father. Instead, she always believed that he was the same age as her.

"It's even worse than that. My mother only raised me, and this lady... has personally breastfed many people in my family." Tommy reluctantly retracted his hand and greeted the old lady who came in: "Good morning, Mrs. Rosie."

 “Otilia?” Tommy stopped and took the phone and asked.

The woman shrugged and made a helpless expression. Then she put down the blanket covering her body and started to put on her clothes: "Does this room belong to you?"

Tommy got out of bed naked, put on his morning jogging clothes, and asked, "Why?"

 …

Tommy disappeared out the door. The German woman on the bed looked at Dorothy who continued to clean the room: "Hello? Can you let me get dressed and come in to clean up?"

"It's over. I just went to the community management center to complain and suggested that they introduce a new community rule, which strictly prohibits ugly old women who fail to manage their body figures from going out for morning jogs to scare people." Tommy held the phone, looked at the surrounding environment, and asked O Tilia said.

 Dorothy watched the other party leave: "Goodbye, Victim No. 2."

The people who came here were those who had personally taken care of Tommy Hawke, Tommy's daughter Genesis Hawke, Tommy's grandson Leo Hawke, the Chief Steward of the Eagle's Nest who had served the Hawke family for forty years, and many more. Rosie.

"It's great to be eighteen years old with so much energy." Tommy took the medicine box and drank the health medicines in it with water before meals. Then he walked out of the bedroom and waved to the German woman who was still sluggish on the bed before going out: " You can continue to sleep, but you have to change rooms... this room... In short, change rooms as soon as possible, goodbye."

Accompanied by a fitness trainer and a bodyguard, Tommy was going for a morning run that he had been doing for decades. The bodyguard John handed him the phone: "Sir, the phone number of Justice Farrell."

Otilia on the other end of the phone said helplessly: "What happened again? You bought half of the Beverly Hills community, so no one should bother you anymore."

"They are the residents of the other half of the Beverly community that I haven't bought yet. That's right. I just accidentally stepped on an old woman during my morning jog. But when I stopped and turned around to apologize, she... I can't be sure whether I stepped on her foot or Naoko's! Do you know how terrifying this is? It can put me in a bad mood all day long!" Tommy said confidently.

"Not everyone can be like you. As long as they have time, they insist on running in the morning, swimming and staying in shape every day." Tommy looked around with a proud smile on his face: "Otherwise, how can I attract my beautiful ex-wife? Remarry me? With the same pot bellies and unwakeable clubs as those losers? What was the outcome of last night's meeting?"

Otilia smiled on the other side of the phone: "It's the result you expected."

"So, let's talk about our wedding. As long as my father, my father-in-law, and my mother-in-law are still alive and can attend the witness, we can hold a small family wedding in an ordinary way and return to the family." Tommy finished listening. After Tilia's words, Xiaoxiao changed the topic.

Otilia's tone was mocking: "Really? Have you thought it through? I think you should call Tony. He should be willing to discuss with you the rules you need to know and abide by if you want to return to the Hawke family. .”

 “You’re looking more and more like an Italian woman, okay, I’ll call him.”

Tommy hung up the phone, took another phone from the bodyguard, and dialed a number: "The feedback from Otilia made me believe that it was your subordinate, Rear Admiral Neil Alito. Damn it, please, he already manages nearly 300 large-scale military supermarkets of the US Department of Defense around the world, with annual sales of 5 billion, and this cannot satisfy him, so he must find a way to get a foothold in my small business?"

"Director of the Military Camp Supermarket Management Office of the Ministry of National Defense, Neil Alito?" Tony on the other end of the phone had a hoarse and steady voice: "Military camp supermarkets are the military's largest unpaid benefit for soldiers, Tommy, five billion There is almost no profit in terms of sales, and the goods are purchased and resold to soldiers without markup. I can understand why he wants to get involved in the order business, because the supermarket business is not profitable."

“That’s not a problem you should consider, my dear brother, General Leon.” Tommy raised his fingers at the bodyguard, who lit a cigarette for him, and Tommy took a puff:

"What you should consider is whether you should talk to him about exiting my business gracefully, or whether I should arrange a traffic accident. The difference is that if you talk to him, he can still continue to be the boss of his military camp Walmart. I found him and he The supermarket business will also belong to me, and then I will bring all kinds of cheap entertainment drugs to all American soldiers in the supermarket."

“He is an alumnus of SSD. He is very reliable. He is my junior fellow student. He started his military career on my ship. Tommy, it’s not that serious, and I think…” Tony reminded after hearing his brother’s words.

"Brother, I understand your position. You have to consider your brothers and subordinates. After all, they work hard for you. You have to give them benefits, but the benefits cannot be the fundamental interests of the Hawke family! You can let them get involved in other financial activities. , medical biology, AI intelligence, and even building rockets to shoot into the sky, these are very profitable, and I am willing to help." Tommy interrupted Tony:

"It took me forty years to integrate the Hawker family's industry into what it is now. It took me forty years to make KeyBank the largest Internet bank, to make WinStar's market value exceed one trillion U.S. dollars, and to make it one of the largest Internet banks in the United States. The sixth largest defense contractor and the largest defense information technology services contractor in the United States, it took me forty years to get the Hawke family qualified to participate in the US$800 billion annual defense spending feast. Together with Boeing, General Motors, Lockheed and others shared the money at the same table."

"It took me forty years to be able to engrave a USB flash drive retailing for US$5 with a national defense and security logo like them, and then sell it to the Ministry of National Defense for US$985, making a profit of US$980, and then share the profit. I'll give you and other winners 500 yuan, and easily earn 480 yuan in profit, so that you can use the inflatable dolls as soldiers' mental illness information collection robots, and sell them to American soldiers at a higher price than paying for Hollywood actresses. , let them use plastic products to relieve stress, and everyone is happy. After all, those stupid *taxpayers in the United States who have no right to complain are paying the bill! You have to understand that selling software, computers, and mobile phones are not as good as selling junk in a low-key and legal manner. Make money for the U.S. Department of Defense! I sell an AmigaOS system to ordinary people for $49.9, and it needs to be updated regularly. But when I sell it to the Pentagon, I can erase the decimal point and add three zeros to the price. If something goes wrong, it can still be repaired. Make another profit.”

"And in such a legal, hugely profitable, and long-term business, you actually want to consider letting other people get involved? I beg you, dear brother, don't always think about issues as the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States. Mom has already Dead, in this **** country where even killing your mother can make criminals bail easily, there is nothing worth protecting except your family. You are the head of the Hawk family! What you should care about is that your brother hasn't had enough to eat yet. Get your dog away!”

"If your junior dares to reach out to my plate again, I will let Otilia send his brother to jail to help niggas! Then use his brother's scandal to force him to resign, and then there will be a traffic accident, those brothers of his Someone will send you the illegal evidence, and you can use it however you like."

"I'll talk to Neil and find him some other business." Tony listened to Tommy vent his dissatisfaction and said after a while of silence.

Tommy softened his tone: "I won't see him jumping out and looking for trouble again, right?"

 “He will not appear again.”

"Very well, by the way, John, do you have any feedback on what I asked Ted about yesterday before I went to visit Benjamin?" Tommy looked at little Peppa Pig and asked.

Page nodded without speaking.

Tommy said into the phone: "As far as I know, another active-duty Navy 'Old Sailor' Medal of Honor recipient will have some serious scandals in the next two days. Remember to pay attention. Ted will let the Internet and TV networks focus on publicity. If he takes the blame and resigns, then you will become the only active-duty admiral in the Pentagon with the medal of 'Old Sailor'. After all, your birthday is coming soon, and I can't think of any special gimmicks. I just want to give this as a birthday gift. you."

“The admiral who broke the scandal in your mouth was not only my competitor, but also my schoolmate and my brother.” Tony said.

"The road up will become narrower and narrower. First there will be no room for enemies, then friends, and finally brothers. When you reach the final destination, you will be the only one left." Tommy flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said, "This is me The reason why I won’t go the same way as you is, by the way, Otilia said, I remarry her, you have to come and talk to me on behalf of her family and teach me some rules of the Hawke family."

"You are not allowed to mess around anymore, Tommy. Otilia is a woman of the Hawke family. You must respect her. I want you to tell me personally that you will not fool around with other women after marriage. Sophia and I can tolerate your Hollywood mistress, and Otilia agrees with me. After all, their existence has become a fact, but there can be no other women." Tony said seriously to Tommy on the phone:

“Otilia’s current identity is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. No more scandals can happen around her. If there is a stain, I will ask the Hawke family to erase the stain.”

“So, you’re telling me that I’m going to spend every night with one of these three sixty-year-old women for the rest of my life?” Tommy said.

Tony joked: "Sorry, I forgot, and Leo's grandma, that German woman, you are such a scumbag."

 “For the honor of the Hawk family, my clubs have to be prepared for retirement?”

"I hope you respect her. If there is only one woman who can stand by your side and bear Hawke's surname, it can only be her. She has sacrificed enough. Don't think about trying to become a stain, otherwise I will be with the old man. Just as dad said, I'll castrate you."

 “Why don’t you scare Bethea? She’s playing crazier than me.”

“She is single and does not have a husband who is a justice or president. If she had, I would also advise her.”

"So, what I can do is what Dennis said to me a few days ago. The day before the wedding, let me call a few old friends and he will help me hold a bachelor party and hold a Tommy Hawk Club retirement ceremony?”
