In America, the winner takes all.

Chapter 180 The “cousin” appears out of thin air (13)
"Okay, I'll just listen to you, it's just the two of us." Ethan had to say.

"That's pretty much it." Sarah Douglas nodded with satisfaction, and even felt a sense of pleasure in defeating "Sarah".

Ethan finally finalized the time with the other party and said that he would personally book a flight to Brazil and the matter would be considered final.

"Don't disappoint me Ethan, I'm a little curious now about how pretty this relative of yours is to make you like this." Sarah Douglas was about to get up at this time.

"Where are you going?" Kate Moss asked.

"Of course I want to find a hotel to rest. There are no entertainment facilities here. I can't stay here as a light bulb and make you hate me." Sarah Douglas shook her head and strode away with her bag.

Only Ethan and Kate Moss were left in front of the seats.

"Do you have anything else to do tonight?" Kate Moss looked at Ethan, stirring the drink with a spoon in her left hand.

"Of course not." Ethan said.

"Then you...live in a dormitory?" Kate Moss asked next.

She never went to college, so she didn't know what the layout of a college dormitory was like. She thought that the place where Ethan lived was similar to the middle school dormitory in her memory.

"It's a completely independent apartment there. It's quite a big place." Ethan said.

"Oh." Kate suddenly understood, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:
"Then I'll go visit your place tonight?"

·
Ethan held her chin, raised her face, and kissed her.

She subconsciously raised her hand, grabbed Ethan, and immediately hugged him.

After a while, when the two returned to the bed, Kate opened her eyes.

"You and that Lisa..." Kate remembered something she had heard from Sarah Douglas before.

Then I saw Ethan with his eyes closed, as if sleeping.

Kate stopped talking and rested her head on Ethan's chest again.

Up to now, even she herself couldn't tell what the two of them were... They were definitely not lovers, and they couldn't even talk about simply satisfying each other. Although she couldn't confirm it, what was certain was that Ethan In fact, there is no shortage of other women.

Therefore, I just simply covet him.

Ethan noticed that Kate was motionless, opened his eyes, and found that she looked worried, so he said.

"Can you move here?"

"I don't have that condition..." Kate shook her head, flying everywhere by herself. There were so many shooting jobs, and it would be too much trouble to live here with Ethan.

"Then can I move to your place?" Ethan asked again.

Kate shook her head again. Although Ethan was not as busy as herself, he still had studies and rugby training, and it was impossible to move to Europe.

"Since that doesn't work, we have no choice but to separate." Ethan said casually.

Kate immediately raised her head and stared at Ethan.

"So, this is the best solution at the moment." Ethan spread his hands.Similar to Bridget Hall and Heidi Klum, that's all for now.

"When you graduate and I earn a few more years, I will gradually reduce my work. Then we will live together." Kate Ethan's hands were intertwined with Ethan's.

"Absolutely," Ethan said.

At first he was not ready to agree, but then he thought about it...Kate Moss will soon "fall off the altar". Just a few years later, she represents the morbid aesthetic of decay, decay, and weakness. It will become obsolete overnight.

At that time, Kate Moss could only rest on her laurels and was quickly forgotten.This is the life and death of this industry.

Returning to herself was a happy ending for her. It was better than hanging out with third-rate rock musicians and eventually becoming a drug addict.

Kate breathed a sigh of relief when Ethan nodded in agreement.

"Ethan, do you like boys or girls?" Her fingers gently scratched Ethan's skin.

"I like them all." Ethan took out his phone.

Kate catches Ethan texting.

"Send a message to Lisa's secretary and ask her to book three tickets to St. Paul." Ethan said.

"Are you really not afraid of two people fighting?" Kate smiled.

"As long as I'm here, the two of us can't fight." Ethan put down his phone.

If possible, he would like to resolve the grudge between the two...

·
"You two teamed up to tease me? Ethan, don't you think this is fun?" Sarah Douglas crossed her arms and stared at Ethan with wide eyes.

"Ethan, why did you bring this woman here? When did you two start to establish contact?" Lisa on the other side also frowned, looking very unhappy.

In the airport hall, people were passing by watching this strange scene. Two middle-aged women, one on the left and one on the right, stood in front of a young man with interrogating expressions on their faces.This immediately conjures up in the minds of passers-by certain situations in which one is discovered on two boats.

"Work, don't forget that our purpose is to work." Ethan reminded the two of them with a wry smile.

Sarah Douglas is in charge of the models and Lisa is in charge of the players.The two of them join forces to create a brand new agency that combines both culture and sports.

But Ethan's wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

"I'm leaving, Ethan O'Connor, don't contact me again in the future." Sarah turned around immediately.

"Ethan, come back with me, you have to explain it to me today!" Lisa also rarely showed anger.

Ethan sighed. It seemed that the grievances between the two could not be explained in a few words.

Since the soft ones are not enough, we can only come to the hard ones.

"let me go!"

"If you keep doing this, I'll call security!"

In the airport hall, passers-by looked sideways as they watched a tall young man forcefully hug two women on each side and drag them forward...

After all, their arms couldn't twist their thighs, but seeing the quarrel getting worse, Ethan finally chose to pull Lisa aside to talk about future plans.

"Of course your idea is correct, but can you discuss it with your child's mother in advance?" Lisa sighed.

"Also, there are so many modeling agencies, why do you choose Sarah Douglas as a bitch?" Lisa muttered.

"Because she is the most suitable. Think of Kate Moss. Isn't that Sarah Douglas's masterpiece? She has the eye for discovering new models and the means to train new models. She is my No. 1 choice. She last weekend I came to see me with Kate, something happened suddenly, I can only take this opportunity to make it clear to you," Ethan said.

Ethan tried to persuade Lisa, but Lisa's attitude finally softened.

"This woman is not easy to deal with. She will probably make me humble. Why?" Lisa was still a little angry.

"No one will have trouble with money. No matter how arrogant she is today, she will be in despair tomorrow. I will let you vent your anger then, but before that, you have to suffer some grievances." Ethan hugged Lisa and comforted her repeatedly.

After coaxing him for a long time, Lisa pushed Ethan.

"Excuse me tonight!" She muttered before walking back with Ethan.

"Has the discussion been clear?" Sarah looked at the two of them.

"It's not impossible for me to go, but Lisa, you..." Sarah Douglas lowered her voice.

"Sarah Douglas, I sincerely apologize to you. Everything that happened was my fault. I hope you won't take it to heart..." Lisa clenched her hands into fists and said almost through gritted teeth.

Sarah Douglas smiled.

"I told you so earlier, why are there so many problems?" She pretended to sigh, but her expression was a little complacent.

In fact, both Sarah and Lisa are women with successful careers. There were some business frictions in the past. It was obviously not enough to kill their opponents, but more simply to compete for a breath.

"Let's go Ethan, let's go to Brazil." Sarah took the initiative and walked towards the boarding gate.

Lisa, who was behind, gave Ethan's arm a hard squeeze and left.

Ethan dragged the two's simple luggage and followed quickly.

·
"Obviously I asked you to come here first, why do you want to go to her place?"

"Why can't you give me a drink first? What qualifications do you have to yell at others."

"Then what qualifications do you have to question others?"

In the first class cabin, the flight attendant standing between the two people looked at the two arguing. Although she was well-trained, her smile was a little awkward.The peace between Lisa and Sarah only lasted about 10 minutes. Before the plane started, the two started arguing again.

Ethan put up the magazine and buried his face in it, pretending that he didn't hear anything.

Just before the plane was about to take off, Sarah Douglas stood up, took out a mobile phone from her luggage, and dialed a mobile phone number in Sao Paulo...

The argument between the two continued from the time the plane took off until it landed.As small as drinks, as big as where to go as the first stop, the two maintained disagreements from beginning to end, leaving Ethan, who was in the middle of the two, to have a head first.

The information Ethan only provided was very limited, namely: Orizontina, Sao Paulo, girls, 16 years old, school trip.

"Are you playing a detective game? Is this all the information?" Sarah Douglas looked puzzled.

"It was very vague during the call... I only knew this much."

"Where are your relatives from?" Lisa asked.

On the plane, she and Ethan learned about the general situation, and now she became more and more curious, wondering where such a person could pop up.

"The relatives on my mother's side are considered my cousins." Ethan responded.

Mia is of German descent, and the other party is a sixth-generation German from Brazil. It is not too surprising to explain that they are relatives.

"Thanks to my acquaintance with a local model agent in Sao Paulo, he has some connections with the local education department. You know, he often selects suitable girls from schools. He should be able to provide a list of schools coming to participate in the autumn outing, and then we will make a list To compare, you always know the name, right?" Sarah Douglas asked.

"Of course her name is Gisele, Gisele Caroline Bundchen."

Not long after, the three met a man named Dilson Stein in the lobby of Sao Paulo International Airport.

"Isn't this the great lady Sarah who came all the way from the UK? Welcome to Sao Paulo. I remember the last time we met was in Milan." He greeted Sarah enthusiastically.

"This beautiful lady, who must be Sarah's friend, welcomes you very much." He wanted to kiss Lisa's hand, but Lisa pulled her hand back.

Dilson Stan sneered twice before looking at Ethan.

"Sarah, is this your newly signed male model? Isn't he a little too tall?" He rubbed his chin and looked at Ethan with a professional eye.

"Want to debut in Brazil?" Dilson asked next.

"He is not a model, but an athlete from the United States." Sarah explained at this time.

"Athlete? American?" Dilson nodded without saying much.

Ian looked at his somewhat cloudy eyes, oily hair and pink face, and square face...

People named Stan often appear in various scandals, such as Weinstein and Epstein. Just by the way he looked at Sarah and Lisa, Ethan felt that this man might not be a good guy. This is not a good thing in the modeling industry. Too common.

"I came here this time to ask you to find a female student. This shouldn't be difficult for you." Sarah Douglas explained the reason.

"Leave it to me." Dilson grinned. As he drove a few people to his office, Dilson took the initiative to talk to two middle-aged women about brokerage work. I know too much, but I focus more on the streets of Sao Paulo outside the window.

The capital of Brazil is Rio, but the largest city in the country is undoubtedly São Paulo.Compared to the United States, there are more mixed-race people on the streets.

The group of people arrived at the modeling agency run by Dilson. The interior of the office was not very spacious and bright, and the number of employees could be counted on one hand.

Dilson lit a cigar, started talking on the phone in Brazilian Portuguese, and put down the phone after a while.

"Someone will send you the list you want this afternoon. As for the new model... I found a gem last year, a rough jade. She will become a world-class supermodel!" Dilson began to talk to Sarah about the deal. aspects of the problem.

“You don’t need 100W, you don’t need 50W, you only need 15W, you can bring her to the UK, send her photos to Calzedonia, Guess, Oscar de la Renta, and she can make money for you! It's so simple, the first picture is her, Alessandra Ambrosio, a 15-year-old young girl." Dilson handed Sarah a stack of photos.

Sarah took the photo and just glanced at it.

"I recognize her. She was a finalist in Brazil's Elite Model Look last year. But I'm curious as to why Elite didn't sign her and kept it in your hands for a year." Sarah raised her head and pointed to the crux of the problem.

Dilson could only laugh awkwardly: "Those people's vision is not much better, otherwise we would not be able to make money."

"It's the ears." Sarah picked up her photo.

"Her ears are flaring out, which is too eye-catching. The most I can offer is US$5."

Alessandra Ambrosio did have a pair of protruding ears in her early years, so much so that she later had surgery.

"$5? You are killing a young girl's dream!" Dilson shouted.

"That's her dream, not yours, and it's not a reason for you to raise the price. I can only give you so much."

Dilson's eyes rolled around a few times, and finally he shook his head.

"The price is so low, she totally deserves the higher price tag."

"Whatever." Sarah flipped to the next photo.

Looking at the bargaining state between the two, those who didn't know it thought they were buying and selling a dead thing.

This is the rule of the low-level modeling industry. I am afraid those young girls will never imagine that a talent scout who keeps talking about great prospects is actually a middleman.

As for Ethan, he even wanted to take the initiative to speak.

Maybe 15W makes Sarah feel expensive, but for Ethan, it is too cheap.

But then he thought about it, wouldn't speaking now be blocking Sarah's business in person? Considering the possibility of her cooperation with Lisa, Ethan decided to stay put. If that didn't work, he would go back and talk to this Dilson. This guy is clearly a master who only cares about money but not people...

Just as Ethan was thinking about it, Sarah Douglas suddenly raised her hand and pushed Ethan twice.

"Isn't this your cousin?" She handed the photo to Ethan.

Ethan took the photo and his pupils shrank instantly. The girl in the photo was wearing a white T-shirt and shorts, trying her best to pose for the camera. At first glance, she had a slender figure and a childish face. A hearty smile...

It was one of Ethan's targets in Brazil, Gisele Bündchen.

At the same time, Dilson, who was behind the desk, immediately became a little alert when he heard the word "cousin".

"I have to state in advance that we are a formal model agency and there is absolutely no behavior of forcing models." Perhaps because he had been troubled by his family members, he explained in advance.

Ethan raised his head and stared at Dilson.

"When did she sign the contract?"

Dilson asked for the name again and thought about it for a long time before speaking.

"If I remember correctly, it seemed like the year before last, I found her in a shopping mall, together with her twin sister. After a simple training, I recommended her to the Look of the Year, and she won the first prize. Fourth, we are one step away from directly obtaining the Elite contract..."

Lisa and Sarah looked at Ethan at the same time.

The cousin he was talking about participated in a well-known model selection competition in the industry two years ago, advanced to the finals in Spain the year before last, and finally finished fourth.

When it came to Ethan's mouth, the situation was completely different.

But if he wasn't his cousin, how did Ethan know about him?

"Why don't we go see her directly and explain things clearly to her." Lisa said helplessly.

"Meet her? You... let me declare in advance that if you want to take her away from me, the price is not low, at least... 5 US dollars." Sensing the intentions of the three, Dilson opened his mouth and started asking for money, and The words flickered, as if he was deliberately hiding something.And the conditions offered happened to be Sarah’s quotation just now.

Sarah Douglas looked at Ethan at this time, seemingly asking for his opinion.

"We'll talk about it first," Ethan said.

"There is no such rule. Young people must pay money first! And it is the full amount."

"How do I know if you are cheating? What if we give the money and find out that she signed with another company, or is not in Brazil at all?"

Only then did Ethan realize that he had misremembered the time from the beginning, but it was a blessing in disguise that he directly found Diersenstein, who was the first to discover Giselle.

"What I can guarantee is that she is in China and is still in school. Okay... I admit that she did have plans to enter the modeling industry at that time, but after the competition ended, she backed down, or changed. In short, she hasn't made up her mind yet. Whether she can succeed or not depends on you. The only thing I can do is give recommendations and contact information."

"These cost 5W?" Ethan frowned slightly.

"This is only a few dollars!"

"3W." Ethan counter-offered: "You also said that she has not made up her mind. We are just trying our luck."

Sarah also spoke.

"For Sarah Douglas's sake, take it." He opened the drawer and rummaged through the messy documents to find the one belonging to Gisele Bundchen...
