Tangning went to City News and found the same results as the police. However, when he went to the tavern to investigate, he was stopped by the police who were investigating there and told him that they would definitely notify him if they got the results. Don't give him any information now.
Make random inquiries to avoid causing trouble to the police investigation work.
However, I learned an unexpected news, that is, Mark Twain, who I met at the cocktail party when the "City Paper" resumed business, actually founded a newspaper called "The Express" in Buffalo after their marriage, but it turned out that he
I am not good at running a newspaper. It has only been established for half a year, but I have already started to arrange transfers in the industry, and it is said that I have lost a lot of money.
Not long after Tangning returned home, Brian suddenly ran in excitedly and said to Tangning, "Tony, my painting was sold!"
Tangning didn't react for a moment and asked casually: "What painting?"
"What other painting could it be? Of course it's the ghost painting!" Brian replied with a smile.
"What?! That ghost painting was actually sold?" Tangning couldn't help but exclaimed.
Brian nodded proudly and replied: "Yes, it was sold! How much do you think it was sold for?"
"Looking at how happy you are, you probably didn't lose money at least. Did you make a profit?" Tangning asked in disbelief.
Brian raised a finger and replied: "Of course I made it, I made it twice as much, which is a thousand dollars!"
"What?! This kind of painting can be sold for a thousand dollars?" Tangning couldn't help but exclaimed again, because this really subverted his cognition.
"Tony, don't be so excited. Who hasn't made a mistake yet?" Brian "comforted".
Tangning defended with some embarrassment: "I'm not a master, so it's normal for me to make mistakes. It's just your painting. By the way, is that painting still in your hand? I want to take a closer look!"
Brian waved his hands and said: "Unfortunately, the painting is now in the hands of Mr. Barva. Well, Mr. Barva is the buyer who paid a thousand dollars!"
"Oh, then how did he buy it from you?" Tangning asked.
Brian explained: "He just heard about it, and then he came to me to look at the painting. Just like Tony, he also said that the painting had been cleaned recently, and then he offered to buy it for $1,000.
So I sold it to him!"
Then the conversation changed and he asked again: "Tony, do you think I sold it cheaply?"
"Cheap? I don't think that painting is worth it." But mid-sentence, Tangning said dejectedly: "Well, forget it, it's useless to think about it anyway, after all, the painting has been sold!"
After seeing Brian off, Heidi came over to persuade Tangning: "Tony, I've thought about it carefully and you'd better not go to New York in the near future. It's not clear whether Underwood is dead or not. It's practical to go at this time."
It’s too dangerous!”
Tangning shook her head and said: "Don't worry, dear, didn't the police tell you that the one in Memphis was a copycat, so there is a high probability that Underwood has been killed by the Ku Klux Klan, so there should be nothing wrong with him, and Thomas
He sent me a telegram saying that he was resigning, so I had to go there and recruit another person!"
"Why do you have to resign when you are so good? I remember Tony, you gave him a very high salary!" Heidi asked in confusion.
Tangning spread her hands and said: "There is nothing we can do about it, because Thomas invented a printing press, sold the patent for 40,000 US dollars, and now he is going to New Jersey to build his own factory!" (This is a true story, it happened in 1870.
.)
"Hey, Tony, when you recruit people again, can you stop hiring such capable people! Otherwise, you will always resign!" Heidi complained.
Tang Ning laughed dumbly and said, "There is nothing we can do about it, because I can't take it if I can't do it. But capable people will always have the idea of starting their own business. After all, who doesn't want to be the boss?"
"That's true!" Heidi muttered helplessly, and then warned: "Tony, you must be careful on the road, or let Tim follow you!"
Tangning waved her hands and said, "No, let him stay at home to protect you. Besides, it's not convenient to bring a black slave to New York now. I'll hire a bodyguard when I wait in New York!"
Because of the precedents of Rockefeller, Maxim and Edison, Tang Ning "fantasized" whether he could collect another celebrity this time, but he was disappointed as he didn't meet any celebrity.
But then I thought about it, this is actually a normal situation. After all, where did I meet so many historical celebrities? And most of these celebrities can't be retained, and they start their own businesses after only a few days.
Just when Tang Ning was filled with random thoughts, Danina came over with a wine glass and asked, "Tony, what are you thinking about?"
Tangning replied casually: "I'm wondering if that damn Underwood is dead. By the way, you and Kayla should be more careful recently. I saw you were too high-profile in the store today!"
Danina replied nonchalantly: "It's okay. Didn't you say that Underwood doesn't know about our relationship?"
"That's just my speculation. Who knows what he will find out!" Tang Ning said angrily.
"Okay, okay, I know, I will be careful lately!" Danina said perfunctorily, and then joked: "How about I also hire a bodyguard?"
Tangning glared at her: "If you can hire a female bodyguard, I'll definitely have no problem with it!"
Tangning originally said it casually, but Danina unexpectedly said: "It's hard to find a professional female bodyguard, but it's not difficult to hire a female boxer as a bodyguard!"
"Female boxers? Are there any female boxers in New York?" Tangning asked curiously.
Danina nodded and replied: "Of course, in the African style bar in Manhattan, there is a mud boxing match between beauties every Friday night. As long as you can afford the money, you can hire these beauties to be your bodyguards!"
"At this point, Danina blinked and added: "Of course, you can do other things too!"
"Is there such a place? I must go and see it that Friday!" Tangning said with great interest.
"I guess you would like to go to places with beautiful women like this!" Danina teased.
But the reality was that Tang Ning was very disappointed. Although it was billed as a beauty boxing match, in fact there were no beauties among these female boxers, at least none who fit Tang Ning's aesthetics, so in the end she only found a bodyguard for Danina.
PS: Yesterday I went to the supermarket and found the potato chip buckets co-branded by Tomb Raiders and Shanghaojia. They were very nice. I bought five different ones at once, but it is said that there are ten kinds in total.
