Chicago 1990

"The timing is good." Hamlin put down the newspaper.

Goodman glanced at the headline news that the law firm's partners were watching about yesterday's inauguration ceremony.

He knew what Hamlin was implying. Tommy Motula, the former president of Sony Columbia, was involved in a series of murders in the Mafia family Colombo. On the same day as the inauguration, he was questioned by New York City police officers and committed suicide by taking sleeping pills. The very brief obituary is over, and I can't make any waves in these two days.

All the media also tacitly did not mention that APLUS once publicly stated that Motura wanted to murder him.

"Forget these."

Knowing the grievances between the two sides, he couldn't help but sigh, but things have finally come to an end, so let's keep silent in the future.

Old Mike's figure appeared in the corridor, and the two men also gave way to the old man tacitly.

"What's wrong?"

Old Mike quickened his pace when he saw a large crowd of people gathered at the door of the ward.

"It's okay, it's just...the doctors decided to do M...MRI, and...I don't understand." Tony replied.

Old Mack breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no accident when he left. "What do you mean." He asked the experts surrounded by him.

The expert replied: "MRI is magnetic resonance imaging. We want to use it to detect the brain function of APLUS and confirm whether it has entered PVS, which is a continuous vegetative state..."

"Vegetative!?"

Aunt Susie's eyes were red when she heard this word, "No, Yali won't, didn't you say that his gunshot wounds are all healed!?"

"Please let me finish. All in all, APLUS's gunshot wound did recover very quickly. Our consultation concluded that the cause of his continuous coma may be in the brain, so we need to conduct a series of deeper and more cutting-edge brains on APUS. The means of inspection is just inspection." The expert motioned to Susie to stay calm.

"Then check it out!"

"but……"

"But again!"

"However, the examination items such as cerebral angiography are invasive. We need to insert the catheter into the aorta of APLUS, and then make it reach the common carotid artery through the circulatory system... This process will cause certain risks, such as ischemic events and thrombosis. Embolism, air embolism, induced aneurysm and vascular malformation rupture..."

"So dangerous!? We won't do it!" Aunt Susie shouted.

"There are other complications...Of course, the probability is not high, but I have the obligation to inform before you sign, that's all."

"Don't do it! Don't do it!"

"Doctors like to dispense with Susie in advance, and you also hear him say that the probability is unlikely."

Goodman advised: "APLUS has been in a coma for so long, and we have used all the treatments we can think of... it's time to take a little risk."

Aunt Susie pouted her lips and kept silent, fighting fiercely in her heart.

"Mam is the one who listens to the doctor." Emily also persuaded.

"I asked William!"

Aunt Susie yelled, "Tony! Call William!" She took her elder son outside and called.

Everyone had to wait, and it took a long time for Susie to come back, "William said that he would use his method first, it is really impossible to do those M...M-FXXK inspections!"

"The sooner the inspection conclusion is released, the better it will be to determine the subsequent treatment plan." Experts reminded.

"Anyway, that's it! I've decided!" Aunt Susie didn't want to be rational now.

"William is just a priest, what can he do!?" Xue Linfen screamed anxiously.

"Shut up!" Susie and Connie's mother and daughter yelled at her at the same time.

"They said they still need to prepare, rehearsal! Oh my God! What the hell is rehearsal!? APLUS will be killed by their ignorant women and magic sticks!"

Susie and William dragged on until the morning of the 25th, and Xue Linfen walked around the house with a big belly in a hurry to complain to Tim's best friend.

"Oh!" Tim sighed, hanging his head silently.

"Why don't you speak? By the way, what about the midnight premiere of Apu's story last night? Has it come out?" she asked.

"Not very beautiful..."

Tim is going to get the box office data out of the bag.

"give me!"

Xue Linfen's face changed, and she hurriedly grabbed her and took a look, "800,000!? You really hate it! Tim..." She rolled her eyes fortunately, "I'm so eager to be so cute and funny."

"Uh...you read one more zero."

"Eight...Eighty thousand!?"

Xue Linfen took another look and almost fainted on the spot. This was an 8 million production cost project, and she put a lot of effort into it.

"Mr. Linton and Yeremov said that if the box office does not improve today, Apu may be forced to go down a week later..." Tim hurriedly supported her.

"Didn't they say that they are going to take the long-term screening of art films? They still have to win prizes for Jared Leto..." Xue Linfen asked.

"But this box office is too low...According to this trend, you can't even get half a million box office in a week..."

Tim said: "Jered Leto is already autistic, and Yeremov said he didn't contact him after twelve."

Xue Linfen called the male protagonist Jared Leto, and she turned off her phone and called his agent again. The other party said Leto was in a bad mood, so please give him some personal space.

"The only way to do this is to lose money and make a profit... Hollywood is always the case, just calm down."

She called Linton, the president of her partner Hollywood Pictures, and maybe she had seen it a lot, but Linton didn't care much.

"Then our next project..." The two parties had previously talked about the follow-up plan of Apu Zhengchuan, which is also an art film.

"Uh, let's talk about that, how is the situation with APLUS?" Linton interrupted.

"same as usual."

"Then you should stay with him... Wait until the child is born before returning to Hollywood."

"That's the only way." Xue Linfen said into the microphone that was already busy.

"Madam, Miss Emily is here." The maid brought Emily in.

Emily was still looking like a teenager who didn't know how to feel sad, so she came in and took a look around, and by the way, little Robb was running around amusingly.

"Emily!"

Xue Linfen had to temporarily abandon her career and greeted her affectionately. After a few words of greeting, she brought the topic to Song Ya's brain examination, "You think you should listen to the doctor, right?"

"Yes, but my mother's temper, you know." Emily was also very dissatisfied.

"Hehe, Emily, help everyone persuade her, she likes you the most."

Xue Linfen saw Emily's attitude that day and decided to try Susie's young daughter route. "Every day APLUS lies down, the muscles will shrink a little, and even if I wake up, it will be finished."

"You go, I won't go anyway." Emily didn't want to provoke her increasingly irritable mother. "I'll be back to New York in two days. I can't always miss the recordings and dance rehearsals of the Destiny Girl. Start shooting MV."

"How is the situation over there now?" Xue Linfen wandered around.

"Not so good. The character of the general manager of Metropolis Records is very rubbish, and last year we rented the recording studio of Sony Columbia Records. A few days ago, we actually received a sky-high bill of $5,000 a day. Daddy Beyoncé was talking on the phone. Mr. Goodman had a big fight."

Emily broke the news and complained: "If this goes on, my pocket money for installation will be lost."

"That's it... I didn't know anything about it... Emily, look!"

Xue Linfen turned her eyes around, took out the checkbook from her bag, and signed it to her for $10,000 on the spot, "This is my little gift, as long as you persuade Susie..."

"Okay, okay, but I don't guarantee." Emily pouted and took the check.

"Yes, this is our little secret."

"OK." Emily stretched out her fist.

Xue Linfen touched her.

In the evening, Emily walked into Hyde Park home with large and small shopping bags.

I happened to be caught by the irritable mother and practiced her voice, "I remember, I'm back!? Bitch! You are still in the mood to go shopping while Alex lies in the hospital! Buy clothes!? Cold-blooded little Bitch!"

"Follow me!"

Emily threw the bag on the sofa, "Why?! Mam!? So many of us are crowded in this small house, but Xue Linfen can live in Highland Park alone!? Why is she giving me pocket money? And not the other way around?! When recording in Los Angeles, I heard someone say that Brother Alex gave her a multi-million manor house! It's super big!"

"That was bought by Alex for Little Robb." Aunt Susie replied.

"I don't understand anyway, maybe he should treat us better..." Emily went back to the room and slammed the door.

"This little bitch..."

The thick-lined Aunt Susie still cursed, and Connie, who had been holding back the interruption, looked at Tony.

Tony dodges her gaze.
