Chapter 26 Problems and Problem Solving
Surprised, Angela looked around. Not far from entering the hotel, Nancy crossed her arms and stared at the man in front of her with a very rare black face. The man with a crew cut was Mark, the site manager of the crew.Sid, he was sweating profusely waving his hands at this moment and explained: "I'm sorry, Miss Nancy, the owner of the house has already agreed to us to use it, and has signed an agreement, but he needs to use the house temporarily, He would even rather pay liquidated damages, which totally didn't occur to us."
"Don't you have a backup plan? Didn't you consider what to do if something went wrong when you rented this house?!" Nancy asked sharply.
Mark raised his hand, finally lowered his head, and said discouragedly: "Yes, we haven't considered it."
It seems that there is a problem with tomorrow's shooting location. Angela squeezed her chin. The atmosphere of the crew has always been good. If it affects everyone's mood and the progress of the shooting because of this, it is really a very bad thing. She Naturally, I know what kind of house I need, and it's easy to solve it, but it's too risky... Forget it, just be careful.
Thinking of the little girl here, hurriedly walked over: "Hi, Nancy, did something happen?"
Nancy turned around, saw Angela, and forced a smile: "It's nothing, dear, it's nothing serious."
"No, Nancy, I heard you guys talking because I couldn't find the shooting location for tomorrow." Angela blinked.
Nancy glanced at Mark, who was still hanging her head, and sighed: "Yes."
"Then, maybe I can help you with this matter." The little girl said, puffing out her chest.
"You?" Nancy and Mark who raised their heads suddenly asked in unison.
"Of course, remember, my mother is British." Angela said with a smile.
"You mean your family still has a house in London that we can use?" Mark asked impatiently.
"Mark! Don't be rude!" Nancy said with a frown.
The little guy didn't think so, shrugged and waved: "Come with me, although it's Sunday and it's already 5 o'clock, I believe that guy must still be in the company."
The three of them came to a red telephone booth together. After the people inside finished making calls and left, the little guy took out a coin, put it in and started dialing a number. The beep sounded for 10 seconds before the phone was picked up. Then a female voice sounded very sweet but very formulaic: "This is the office of the president of Eric Construction Company. Today is not a working day. Please call tomorrow if you have anything to do. Thank you."
Angela frowned, why did the secretary change again?She hurriedly said, "Hello, please ask Mr. Frank Albert to answer the phone. I know he must be in the office."
"I'm sorry, miss, I just..." The formulaic female voice wanted to say something, but Angela interrupted: "Please tell him, DA is looking for him."
The little girl's unceremonious voice made the woman on the phone startled for a while, and then said hesitantly: "Okay...well, please...please wait a moment."
Soon, the phone was answered, and a familiar male voice rang: "Hey, Chris, my dear little angel, is that you? How did you think of calling me at this time?"
"Dear uncle, has your secretary Susan resigned?" Angela replied lazily.
He coughed a few times over there, and then said embarrassingly for a long time: "Chris, this is not a topic that a good boy should talk about."
"Okay, Uncle Frank, are you free now?" The little girl stopped joking.
"what happened?"
"Well...I'm...in London now." Angela thought about it and decided to tell the truth.
"God, you guys went back to London? Why didn't you come to see me? You just arrived today? You're on summer vacation? Does grandpa know?" A series of questions, the two little girls couldn't help but hold the microphone far away until the voice came out. "Hey, are you listening?" He put it in his ears again after the words.
"Okay, dear uncle, I'm alone in London now, and my parents are not here." Angela replied.
"Are you alone? God! You sneaked out again? And you ran back to London? Chrissy, now obediently go to grandpa's house, this time I won't protect you."
The little girl couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "Am I the kind of kid who doesn't care about my parents' feelings and only makes trouble?"
"Of course!" The other side answered in the affirmative.
It took a long time for the crazy Angela to calm down, and said through gritted teeth: "Let me finish my sentence, please! Dear Mr. Albert!"
Sensing that the little guy was angry, a chuckle suddenly came from over there: "Okay, tell me, I'm listening."
"To put it simply, I'm shooting a movie in London right now, and our crew is having a bit of trouble right now. The house that was supposed to be shooting tomorrow has to be taken back because the owner has some problems. I remember you have a private house on Oak Street. , two-storey high with a small garden, it is very suitable for us to shoot, so we want to rent it." Angela roughly said.
"Wait, wait, why can't I understand, make a movie? What kind of movie?"
"Okay, how about it, my dear uncle, let's not talk now, we will meet at the corner of Oak Street in 30 minutes, but I will tell you in detail later, okay? Remember to bring your lawyer."
"That's it, I'll come over as soon as possible."
"Wait, don't tell anyone that I'm in London, especially Grandpa, okay?"
"Hey Chrissy, that's rude."
"Come on, uncle, that's it, no one is allowed to tell, including your new secretary!"
After hanging up the phone with a click, Angela stuck out her tongue on the phone childishly, then opened the door and said to Nancy: "Okay now, Nancy, let's go to the corner of Oak Street, he will be here soon. "
Oak Street is located at St. Mary's Gate Street in Kensington, Southwest London. It has an elegant environment and tree-lined environment. It is a good place to live and people love it very much.
Less than 5 minutes after getting off the taxi at the intersection, an all-black BMW sports car stopped on the other side, and then a man in his early 30s came down, with short brown hair and a gray suit. His temperament is very friendly, and he often has a faint smile on his face, giving people a very close feeling.
"Haha, my dear little angel, I haven't seen you for several months!" The man stepped forward with a smile, hugged the little girl, and kissed her hard on the cheek.
"Uncle Frank, you spit on my face again, I'll tell mom!" Angela said with an angry look.
"Oh, I'm really sorry, honey, do you want to take a few more bites?" Frank opened his mouth to bite, and the little girl screamed and covered her face, which made him laugh again.
Angela struggled angrily and made a funny face at him, then pulled Nancy and Mark to introduce.
"Thank you for taking care of the little guy." Frank smiled and shook hands with the two in turn, then pointed to the cafe on the street: "If there is enough time, let's go there and talk."
It only took a cup of coffee for Angela to explain the matter very clearly. After the initial surprise, Frank readily agreed: "No problem, if necessary, we can go and have a look now."
Nancy had already heard the little girl's description on the way, and knew that it was very suitable for the filming of "A Couple Born", so she declined, "No, if possible, I think we can make an agreement now."
"No problem, Miss Nancy, I can hand over the keys to you now, but my lawyer, Mr. Andy, is on vacation, so the agreement has to be delivered tomorrow morning. Don't worry, I agree to use it for free." Frank shrugged.
"When did you become so generous?" The little girl, who could only drink fruit juice, bit her straw and narrowed her eyes.
"Look at what you said, am I Grandet?" Frank spread his hands innocently.
"Aren't you?" Angela looked at him provocatively.
Frank sighed helplessly, leaned down and whispered in the little guy's ear, "Dear Chris, I'm helping you no matter what. It's very rude of you to speak ill of me like that."
"I didn't say bad things about you, I just said the facts." The little guy said with a smile, his crooked eyes revealed information from time to time: Tell me honestly, why are you so generous? !
"The fact is that you are lying. Children will grow noses when they lie." Frank raised his eyebrows and never said a word.
"Well, if you swear not to tell anyone else that I'm here, and if you don't call and tell mom that I've contacted you before I go back to Los Angeles, I'll keep my mouth shut." Angela still smiled. Mi's appearance, since you can't ask, then ask for more conditions.
"Deal!" Frank snapped his fingers, straightened his body, and said to Nancy: "That's it, Miss Nancy, it doesn't matter if you break something, anyway, my house should be redecorated."
As he spoke, he took out the key and handed it to her, and Nancy took it without being polite, "Thank you very much for your generosity, Mr. Albert."
"Nothing? Angela is my niece, of course I have to help her." Frank said indifferently, because the bill only needs to be sent to his sister, and it is normal to be generous to others.
