Manhattan Reborn 1978

Manhattan.

Near noon.

The car that Pine was riding in was parked on the street in front of the company.

He got out of the car, tidied himself up, and walked towards the company.

Arriving on the fifth floor, he knocked on Polly's office door.

"Please come in!"

After Polly said something, she looked up at the door and smiled when she saw that the person who came in was Pine.

"I just saw off a guest here, Laura."

Pine sat down opposite Polly in surprise: "Laura? What did you talk about?"

"What else can we talk about? Mostly about the company, and some of David's experiences since he met you."

"That's all? Laura, didn't she say why she came?"

"She just said that she was curious about what the Da Group Company created by David was like, so she came to take a look."

Pine agreed that this was very Laura's style of doing things.

If you want to do it, then do it.

Where are there so many why?

"Okay, I'll talk to her tonight."

"Is George here? I'm here to talk to you about several companies..."

-------

After Laura left DA Company, she came to the New York Public Library.

She stood in front of the library, looked at the building for a while, and then walked in.

She is a little confused now!

After leaving home, in the days before entering school, she was in New York, not knowing what she should do or what she could do.

In the past, the kind of days where every day was arranged slowly, now, has left her.

Laura lied to Giles and Pine. She had no intention of contacting any classmates and going to have fun with them.

She hates spending time and having parties with her classmates who have all kinds of purposes, thoughts, and looks!

Over the years, countless people have been thinking of various ways to get close to her, simply because of her status as the youngest daughter of the Morgan family.

Perhaps, her brother and sister were used to dealing with these people, but Laura was unwilling to do this.

She wants to live more independently and freely.

So, Laura thought for a while, then went to the company to look around, and chatted for a while with Polly, who had heard about it.

Then we came to the place where Lucky David once looked for information, the public library.

Maybe here, like David, she can find the change, goal and direction she is looking for.

The town of Morrison.

noon.

Black Mike knocked on the door, pulled David out of bed, who was still catching up on sleep, and told him it was time for lunch.

David got up sleepily, went to the bathroom, washed his face, and followed Black Mike down from the second floor.

Old David and Sierra were already sitting at the dining table.

"good afternoon!"

After David said hello, he sat down in his seat.

"Dad, didn't you go to the factory today?" David stuffed a juicy steak into his mouth.

"Well, there's nothing going on at the factory today. I'd like to have lunch with you?"

David thought for a while, it seemed like today was not a special day.

"It's this lunch. Does it have any special meaning?"

Sierra shook her head: "When you came back this time, you haven't told me about the things you did in the New York company, right? It's time to talk to us from the beginning."

"Okay, actually I found out about Da Company that Old Malkin was quitting the gang one day by chance..."

While eating lunch, David talked about all the things he had experienced recently.

amount. .

Of course, David deliberately ignored Susan's existence. After all, the two of them could only be regarded as boyfriend and girlfriend before they were lovers.

Sierra's mother slowly put down the tableware halfway through listening. When David finished speaking, she looked at her son with a complicated expression.

Old David told her before that David had done something and opened several companies.

Sierra just thought that David had enlightened. With the help of the old Malkin family, he started doing business and made a lot of money.

She didn't expect that the company David was talking about had grown to such an extent.

David Sr. guessed what his wife was thinking, and he patted Sierra's arm lightly: "David, how many days have you been back? Do you have any plans to return to New York someday?"

David was already eighty percent full. He listened to his father's words, glanced at Black Mike who was immersed in eating, and thought for a while.

Dryed the juice in his hand.

"Yes, dad, I plan to go back to New York in the afternoon! You know, Giles' dad, old Morgan, called last night. We talked about setting up a new fund company. I need to go back and take a look at it and get it done!"

Old David silently put down the tableware in his hand, wiped his mouth and looked at his son silently.

Sierra gently held her son's hand: "David, you know, we are just worried about you."

"Yes mom, I know it all!"

David looked at his parents and Black Mike: "You may have guessed that when I came back this time, I actually had the idea of ​​​​escape from work and escape from New York."

"From the initial establishment of the company, to the subsequent projects I took out one after another, attracting more people to join and invest, these businesses have changed the lives of many people, including my own."

"You all know that more than a month ago, I was just a bartender working in a bar. I watched the drinkers come to the bar every night to get drunk and brag."

"Black Mike is the same, working as a bar security guard, spending every night peacefully, living a life not knowing what will happen tomorrow."

"As Black Mike and Dad said, I hope my future can change, and I hope I can bring a better life to my loved ones around me. Now some of my original plans have been realized."

"But this doesn't mean that I can adapt to this change in life right away!"

"After the opening night of the nightclub, I felt very tired from all the complicated things!"

"So I simply chose to run away. I escaped from New York. I wanted to put aside the complicated work for a while and return home to enjoy a quiet time."

"Uncle Morgan's call last night made me understand that since I have chosen to embark on this path, I can't let myself relax like this now, let alone leave everything behind and live a peaceful life."

"My avoidance will not solve any problems, but will make them more troublesome!"

"da company has been established and developed along with my plan, and it is slowly growing and expanding."

"The responsibility I should bear is not just to be a company mascot, as I joked."

“I think I’m ready for the change in my way of thinking, mentality and identity.”

"But, Mom and Dad, if this happens, I may spend less and less time with you in the future. I..."

Old David raised his hand to stop David: "I have talked about you with Ludy and Old Malkin."

"They all have great confidence in you and believe you can succeed."

"David, you are very smart, and you also seized the best opportunities."

"So you should make the most of your gifts and opportunities."

"But your mother and I don't want your business to be successful while making your life more dangerous or unhappy."

"Now that you have thought about it and are ready, let's go!"

"Remember, never turn your back on the difficulties, problems, and enemies you are supposed to face."

"Your mother and I will always be here, waiting for you!"

"Home will always be here!"

Sierra also spoke: "No matter what you are going to do, we will support you, David."

David pursed his lips and nodded.

He stood up and hugged Mama Sierra and David Sr., then Black Mike.

David hugged Black Mike fiercely and patted his back: "You haven't said a word. Do you think the same thing as your parents?"

"David, they have already said what I want to say, do they still want me to give you a slap in the face and shout that you are a coward? I already knew about this, brother!"

"You better let me finish the steak on the plate, we have to rush back to New York later!"

"Are you still eating?~You've gained weight!? Your face is round, man!"

David angrily gave Black Mike a headbutt, and the two started fighting.

Old David put his arm around Sierra's shoulders and gently rubbed her back and forth with his hands.

In fact, David wanted to understand these things the night he had dinner with the Nash couple.

His responsibilities, as the company's business grew rapidly, became a little overwhelming, and he began to have headaches and confusion.

David, who was an ordinary little person in both his previous life and this life, faced these complicated problems and chose to escape with great dissatisfaction in his heart.

Instinctively, he wanted to return to the home where he grew up, a home that was safe and peaceful in his body's memory, with no worries and only people who loved him.

Home is the harbor of the soul.

That's right!

But it is not a refuge from responsibility.

After David experienced a series of things these days, his psychology gradually began to calm down, slowly transformed, and became more mature.

Old David was right.

David can be timid and stubborn, but he cannot give in!No more escaping!

new York.

Kennedy International Airport.

A pair of well-dressed men and women walked out of the airport hall pushing their luggage.

The two of them were standing on the side of the road, and a Lincoln luxury car stopped in front of them.

The beauty held her arm with the man and said, "While you are busy at work these days, can I go to New York for a walk?"

"No problem, honey! When we get to the hotel later, I'll write you a check, and you can go and buy whatever you like."

The man exchanged a few words with the driver who got out of the Lincoln.

The driver helped the two of them and put them in the car.

The man opened the car door for the beautiful woman in a gentlemanly manner, let her get in, and then stood by the car and looked around.

He whispered: "New York, I, Odis Parker, am here!"
