Chapter 124 Prove Your Loyalty

Fountain Street, West Coast Studios.

Edward took out a few checks, handed them to Hawke, and said, "Boss, your income during this period."

Hawk looked through them one by one, and they were basically 200 US dollars and 300 US dollars. U.S. dollar denominations, but one share, close to five figures.

“Did you catch big news?” Hawke asked.

Edward chuckled: "I'm lucky this time, I got a big exclusive news."

He elaborated: "A few nights ago, Matthew McConaughey had a carnival party and found a group of friends and women I was messing around. I took too many drugs in the middle. More than 20 people took off their clothes and ran to the yard to sing rock music. It was like a fenced yard. The neighbors on both sides called the police. Officer Julian called me immediately. "

Hoke asked: "You developed Officer Julian into a news informant?"

Edward said in detail: "The day you left Los Angeles, I was in West Hollywood. I met Officer Julian. He has many children at home and his wife is unemployed. "

Hoke understood and reminded him: "Don't try to take advantage of his wife."

"Hey, boss, you can't wrongly accuse a good person." Edward defended: "Officer Julian is not divorced."

Hoke didn't even bother to raise his eyelids: "Let's get down to business."

Edward replied Let’s get to the point: “I rushed there fast enough, even busted the LAPD, and took a video of Matthew McConaughey dancing with several men and women naked butts, two of them were still shaking I captured an exclusive video of the celebrity rolling around and sold it to Claire, Megan’s former assistant, who is now the associate producer and host of “Midnight Entertainment.”

Hoke nodded. : "8,000 US dollars, a lot." He handed the check to Edward: "Tomorrow you will transfer the money to the studio account."

"Okay." Edward collected it.

Hawke turned to ask: "What's going on with Campos?"

Edward said seriously: "Campos is very capable. He used his identity as a Mexican to develop a lot among Mexican immigrants. Informant, you also know the situation in Los Angeles. There are too many Mexican immigrants and there are countless homeless people on the streets. When it comes to the ability to organize people, I can’t even match him with one hand.”
< br>"Not bad." Hawke said: "I will find time to see him tomorrow."

Edward looked at the time: "Boss, I also received a tip from Joanna that Alison Faith I’m going to have fun at Griffith Observatory tonight, so if I don’t have anything else to do, I’ll get ready.”

The mother and daughter taking the selfie left a deep impression on Hawke. , both of them are sluts.

Just in case, Hawke reminded: "Take control of your brother, don't get sick."

Edward vowed: "Don't worry, boss, there are so many good candidates, why should I choose an older one?" Public transportation? I’m not Charlie Sheen, bringing the public toilet to my home.”

Hoke waved his hand. : "Go."

The phone rang, and Erica called: "I have a day off tomorrow. I want to see my grandparents, so I won't go to you. I will go back to work in the bureau the day after tomorrow. On the weekend Let’s practice shooting again and practice coordination.”

Hoke responded: “Okay.”

Erica was not the slimy type and quickly hung up the phone.

After going out for dinner, Hawke prepared to go to bed early.

In Yellowstone, you have to work every night.

Fortunately, he has practiced and is a veritable lamp pole war god.

The next morning, Hawke called Campos.

The latter was marking people in Sherman Oaks, and a meeting was arranged at noon.

Hoke simply came to the coffee shop near Full Speed ​​PR Company and sent a text message to Caroline.

Not long after, Caroline entered the coffee shop alone, carrying a briefcase.

As soon as she saw Hawke, she quickened her pace, her red high heels clattered to the ground, pulled out her chair, and sat across from him.

Hoke glanced at her brand-new women's briefcase, guessed the price, and asked: "Where is the information I want you to collect?"

Caroline opened the bag, took out a stack of documents and photos, and said: "This is the information of Sarah's biological father, Stephen Parker. He is a Jew who worked in the media industry for many years and later joined a financial company as a partner. company and became a senior executive."

She took out another photo: "This is Sarah's stepfather, Paul Foster."

Hoke nodded slightly and opened the information. Looked carefully.

Sarah Parker’s stepfather’s conditions were much worse than those of her biological father. After her parents divorced, her mother, Barbara, married Paul Furst, who had three boys with Barbara. .

Including the four children raised by her stepfather, Sarah has seven brothers.

From what Caroline gathered, the family was able to survive thanks to Stephen Parker's child support payments.

But the father-daughter relationship between Sarah and Stephen is not good.

A very common family drama.

Stephen and Barbara did not divorce peacefully, but turned against each other. Under Barbara's long-term influence, Sarah believed that Stephen had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.

“When Sarah first entered the industry, Stephen mobilized various connections and made her path much smoother than ordinary people.” Caroline said: “But Sarah always felt that this was something Stephen owed her.”

Hawke asked: "What's Stephen's attitude towards Sarah now?"

Caroline thought for a while and said: "The less something is available, the more people want it. The older the person, the more they want it. The more I miss my family."

She suddenly connected with herself, shook her head slightly, and said without thinking too much: "Stephen doesn't have any other children. I asked someone specifically to find out. He really wants to get back to normal with Sarah. Father-daughter relationship, but Sarah has never been cold to him Not hot."

Hoke remembered the last time he met Sarah, and the other party mentioned his biological father and asked: "Stephen is somewhat famous in Jewish circles?"

"Close to seventy? "I am 20 years old and have been working as a manager in the media industry for a long time." Caroline replied: "After so many years of accumulation, it can finally affect some people. The Jewish circle is, how should I say, relatively closed."


Hawke saw a photo of Stephen Parker in the information and warned: "Check his current address carefully, maybe we will use it."

High commissions are like hanging in front of a sheep's head. Carrots, Caroline said without even thinking about it: "I'll find a way to get it."

Hoke asked the key thing: "How is Sarah doing with her pregnancy preparations?"

These are all things Caroline is doing to help Sha Pulling the contact: "Sarah followed our plan in case Bro Derick objected and didn't let him know for the time being. I made the contact through me and got ovulation shots at a professional institution. She has been pestering Bro Derick to do that recently. But Bro is in his forties, and Sarah is worried that her energy is too low, so she is considering whether to find other men for help."

Her tone became strange: "Sarah has spent everything she has to win the prize. People are amazed.”

Hawke, however, has a greater grasp of Sarah's character.

He warned: "It's better to be Bro's."

"I will persuade her." Caroline responded.

Hoke asked: "When will Sarah's agent be finalized?"

"It will be November at the earliest." Caroline explained simply: "Sarah is the front line As a drama star, whoever can become her manager will have a stable and high income every year, and the competition within the agency is very fierce.”

Hawke made a new request: "I remember that you can influence Sarah and ask her to choose an agent who supports women's equal rights, preferably Jewish."

Caroline said: "This is not difficult, Sarah also mentioned during the last meeting that she had planned to do this. "

The two discussed the follow-up matters in the coffee shop until almost noon before Hawke took the lead to leave.

He drove to Beverly Avenue and waited for a while in the agreed parking lot. A semi-new Chevrolet drove over.

Campos parked the car and waited to observe to make sure there was no one following him. Then he got out of the car and got into Hawke's car.

Hawke said: "I heard from the savior that the progress is going very smoothly?"

"Many people come here, and illegal work is a problem." Campos told the truth: "As long as they are willing to pay, they are good "

Hoke nodded: "Follow it. Do things at your own pace."

Campos opened the bag he brought with him and took out some photos and handed them to Hawke: "These are the ones I took recently."

Hoke one. Looking through the photos, Bro Derick was in all the photos, along with a man and a woman.

He knew them all. The man was Barack Burnam, the chairman of the Ackerman Charitable Foundation and one of the four targets.

Robert Downey Jr. has gone to see God, and his wife and children are being trained by the Savior.

Bro Derek is the target of this plan.

Barack Burnam is next.

As for Buddy Ackerman, a billionaire is difficult to deal with.

The woman in the photo is Melissa Ackerman, Buddy's daughter.

Campos said: "Bro has been meeting these two people a lot recently."

After that, he specifically pointed to the long-faced man in a photo: "And this guy, Bro changed his clothes and car and met him quietly."

Hoke had never seen the person in the photo, so he said directly: "Check who he is."

" Yes." After Campos finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer and drove away quickly.

Hawke continued to look through the photos, and his eyes fell on Melissa Bachman.

He suddenly thought of the gunfight in Wyoming. What should he do if there was excessive blood loss or organ damage in the future?

That old bastard Buddy Ackerman wants to kill him, which means that there is no problem in matching blood types and organs.

This guy is old and of no use. I wonder if any of his children and grandchildren are the same.

…………

Fox Tower, Fox Television Center. Gretchen took her annual leave and returned to work. The first thing she did was meet with Channel 11 director Cynthia Rothberg.

But Cynthia went to a meeting.

It wasn’t until mid-afternoon that Gretchen saw the director.

Cynthia said directly: "The channel has adjusted your work. From now on, you will go to the noon news."

Gretchen had already expected such an outcome, and she took many actions during her vacation, saying, "I'm applying for transfer."

Cynthia raised her head and looked at Gretchen: "Let the higher ups send you a letter, I won't stop you. ”

The Fox Television Network has a huge stage, and Channel 11 is just one of many sub-channels.

But it is not wise to conflict with her immediate boss. Gretchen is well aware of Fox's workplace rules.

It is an established fact that "Ace News" has been robbed. If she and Cynthia fall out, her only option is to resign, without even a letter of recommendation.

Cynthia waved her hand: "Let's do it quickly."

"I will get it done as soon as possible." Before Gretchen left, she specifically said: "Thank you."

Cynthia nodded slightly. , said no more.

Gretchen came out of the director's office and called her former subordinate: "Nina, it's me. I'm going to switch to other channels. Do you want to come with me?"

The person on the other side He said nothing, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Sorry, I am familiar with "Ace News" and don't want to go to a strange place."

"I wish you good luck." Gretchen took the initiative to hang up the phone.

She knew very well that Nina had taken refuge with Megan Taylor, and other subordinates...

Gretchen shook her head and said nothing more, and there was no need to return to the show. She was on annual leave. At that time, she took away all her personal belongings.

Arrived at the entertainment floor of the building, she found a lounge, made another phone call, and said with a smile: "Susan, can you tell Roger that I am back? If he has time, I You can visit him at any time."

The person on the other side of the phone spoke: "I mentioned your matter to Roger. He is resting now. Let me ask."

Gretchen became nervous, put down her phone, looked in the full-length mirror, and quickly touched up her makeup.

Then she stood up again and turned around in high heels. Although she was thirty years old, she took good care of herself, especially her butt wrapped in a short skirt and her long legs in stockings underneath. lure.

The phone rang, Gretchen answered the phone, and the person over there said: "He asked you to come up now."

"Okay."

Gretchen went out. , came to the special elevator, pressed it, and after the elevator came down, went directly to the top floor.

After getting out of the elevator, she turned into a huge office with only one desk. Susan, who looked slightly old, was guarding a door.

Behind the door is the supreme being of the entire Fox Television Network - Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes.

This man is deeply trusted by his boss, Rupert Murdoch, and he can make decisions about anyone and anything at the Fox Television Network.

Susan pointed to the door: "You can just go in."

Gretchen smiled at her, came to the door, took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and opened the mahogany door. .

In the reception area, an old man who was as fat as a mountain of meat was sitting on a single sofa, with a kind expression like a serious elder.

Gretchen said: "Good afternoon, Roger."

Roger Ailes pointed to the couch on the side: "Sit."

Gretchen Jean carefully sat down.

Roger asked: "I heard that you have encountered some difficulties recently?"

Gretchen knew very well not to talk to her superiors in front of higher superiors, let alone speak ill of Fox.

She said directly: "The morning news show "Fox and Friends" that Fox News is about to launch is recruiting hosts. Can I be transferred there?"

Compared to Fox's acquisition of Los Angeles 11 Channel 11 was restructured from Taiwan, and Fox News has a wider audience.

Roger said softly: "I appreciate your work ability and have considered promoting you."

He did not say this randomly, although he focused more on Fox News On the Internet, he rarely manages branch channels, but Roger is somewhat familiar with the famous female hosts below: "With your ability, hosting "Fox and Friends" is enough."

Gretchen held her breath quietly, waiting for the next words.

Roger hasn't finished his words yet: "But I need loyalty, absolute loyalty, to prove your loyalty."

Gretchen was ready, but when the moment came, she was still a little bit heavy.

They are not those bitches in Hollywood.

Roger Ailes was an expert and asked: "I heard you were elected Miss America?"

He raised his hand: "Get up, Gretchen, get up."

Gretchen stood up.

“Come to me, get closer.” Roger knew how to do it: “Pull up your skirt, let me see your legs, hurry up, pull it up.”

Gretchen wouldn't have made this choice before.

But after losing "Ace News", she thought she had no choice.

Gretchen lifted her skirt.

Then, under the command of Roger Ailes, she knelt on the ground.

If you want to hug your thigh, you have to kneel down and move your mouth.

That's not all, Roger said again: "You must not only follow me, but also follow all the people assigned to you..."

After a long time, Gretchen opened the mahogany door. , coming out of the office.

Susan looked up at her, put down the phone, and said, "Congratulations, you passed the interview."

Gretchen smiled and could only say: "Thank you for helping me get this opportunity. ”

Just now, after finishing, she took advantage of Roger being very satisfied to chat about the style and bias of some programs on Channel 11.

Channel 11, which was born in Los Angeles, does not sit side by side with Fox News.

Although he doesn’t like the pig in the Oval Office and has a relatively large delegation of power over the style of the sub-channel, Roger Ailes has heard a lot of objections recently.

He called Cynthia, the director of Channel 11: "It's me."

Cynthia on the other side immediately realized: "Roger, is there a problem with the program on Channel 11?"

" Your ratings are good." Roger praised the capable person first, and then said suddenly: "Yes. Several programs are too blue."

Cynthia is qualified to argue: "But the ratings are very high, which has boosted the entire advertising budget of Channel 11."

Roger said: " You are not Los Angeles 11 now, you are Fox 11.”

Cynthia said: "I understand."

When the phone over there hung up, she dialed Megan's office number and said directly: "Don't go any further into the matter of Steve Nutt. Joint media event with LAPD, may continue.”

…………

Century City, Sparka Restaurant.

Megan sipped red shrimp meat and asked, "How was your time in Wyoming?"

Hawke took out a box from his bag and pushed it over: "It's not bad, my small ranch is overrun with wild beasts. I killed some coyotes, a bear and a mountain lion."

"A gift for me? Is that okay?" Seeing Hawke nodding, Megan opened the box, and inside was an olive-colored stone sculpture.

Hoke simply said: "Wyoming's specialty, tremolo stone carving."

Megan put it away: "Thank you."

She picked up the bag and zipped it up , said: "I have something to tell you. I am now officially appointed as the producer and host of "Ace News"."

Hawke said: "Congratulations, you are now the number one ace of Channel 11."

Meghan felt a sense of career satisfaction, but thinking of the call from Cynthia, she specifically said: "Fox Television Network The highest level of the Fox Television Network intervened in Channel 11. You should have heard that the Fox TV Network has been biased towards the Elephant Party since its establishment. No one cared about our sub-channel originally, but now the ratings are too high, which has attracted the attention of the higher-ups. Interference."

Hoke understood: "Things that favor equality can no longer be reported?"

"Isn't that true? The first point of the existence of the news station is hot news." Mei. Gen roughly explained: "Reporting is okay, but we can no longer preset positions in advance as before."

Hoke asked: "What about celebrity scandals? For example, Hollywood A-list stars."
< br>

Meghan replied seriously: "These are always hot news."
