"Mr. Tangning, long time no see!" Melina came to greet her the next day.
"It's been a long time indeed. Miss Anderson, where have you been recently?" Tangning asked casually.
"Oh, I just came back from England!" Melina replied, then changed the subject and asked: "By the way, Mr. Downing, are you planning to go to the New Orleans Weekly?"
"How come you know everything about this?" Tangning asked in surprise.
Melina smiled and replied: "Mr. Coro told me, he came to invite me to join the New Orleans Weekly, and then I told him that if you join, Mr. Downing, then I will join, so he told me
You are thinking about it, so I am here to ask you! Why is he not telling the truth?"
"Everything he said is true. I did tell him so, but I was just perfunctory!" Tangning explained.
"Let me just say, with your relationship with Editor-in-Chief Levine, how can you go to the New Orleans Weekly? But I think Coro may just be here to test it out. After all, with your reputation, it would be inappropriate for him not to invite you.
Too strong and impolite!" Melina analyzed.
Although Tang Ning agreed with Melina's analysis in her heart, she was naturally embarrassed to admit it on the surface, so she waved her hands and said, "How can I be famous?"
"Mr. Downing, you are too modest, but I think Editor-in-Chief Levine has really met a formidable opponent this time, because many writers I know have been snatched away by the New Orleans Weekly!" Melina
said in a deep voice.
"Well, I heard Levin say this too, and from the alternative manuscripts he brought me, it can be seen that the writers under him are very strong, but I believe that with Levin's ability, he will definitely be able to
The winner will at least not lose so quickly!" Tang Ning said with confidence.
Melina didn't refute this, she just pursed her lips and smiled, and then asked: "Mr. Tangning, have you produced any new works recently?"
Tangning shook her head in embarrassment and replied, "Not yet. Actually, Heidi has a semi-finished product. It's a pity."
Before Tang Ning could finish her words, Melina's eyes lit up and she said, "Heidi has a new work? Then I have to go and take a look!" With that, she walked towards Heidi's study in a familiar manner.
Tang Ning originally wanted to follow him, but at this time Marlene came over to report that Mr. Warner was here, so she had to change her way to the reception room.
As soon as they met, Warner handed over two scrolls of paintings and said: "Mr. Downing, I found two more paintings by Mr. Madison. I remember that you liked them very much, so I sent them to you!"
Just when Tangning was about to express her gratitude, Warner unexpectedly said, "Also, I want to say goodbye to you!"
"Farewell?" Tangning didn't respond for a moment.
Warner nodded and replied: "Yes, because I'm moving!"
"Why are you moving? Aren't you living well here?" Tangning asked in confusion.
But Warner obviously didn't want to answer this question, and just answered vaguely: "Well, because of some special reasons!"
Then he changed the topic and said: "But there will definitely be many opportunities for us to meet in the future, because I am moving to New York!"
"Oh, New York, then when I go to take care of business, I can have a drink with you!" Tang Ning agreed.
"You're welcome any time, you're welcome any time!" Warner replied with a smile.
"By the way, Mr. Warner, what will happen to the manor if you leave?" Tangning asked again.
Warner seemed to reply casually: "Oh, it has been sold, but your new neighbor may not like the excitement!"
"Oh, why do you say that?" Tangning asked curiously.
"Well, you'll know this by then!" Warner replied mysteriously.
After Warner left, Heidi frowned and said: "This Mr. Warner is really weird. He has only been here two years, why did he move away?"
"Maybe something really happened!" Tang Ning replied casually.
"But didn't you say that he has moved many times?" Heidi asked again.
"Although I don't know why Mr. Warner keeps moving, I generally know how the rumors about him come about, because it is very likely that you and I will join this ranks in the future!"
Then he changed the subject and said, "By the way, where is Miss Anderson?"
"Melina seemed to suddenly think of something important just now, so she left without a few words!" Heidi explained.
Facts have proved that Warner was right. This new neighbor, Miss Shani Alexander, really didn't like the excitement, because after she moved here, she only came to visit once, and then refused to attend all dinner parties, drinking parties, and dances.
She doesn't go out much, and only her housekeeper comes in and out for shopping every day.
This disappointed Tangning, who wanted to have a good relationship with his new neighbor. Another thing also disappointed him, that is, the painting of Madison brought by Warner this time was completely different from the previous one, and it did not predict the future at all.
There was no space, just two landscape paintings, and they were very mediocre and ordinary. Even Tangning was a little doubtful whether they were painted by Madison.
What made Tangning even more unexpected was that at this time, Warner was drinking coffee with Bai Min, and Bai Min asked, "Did Tony ask you why you left New Orleans?"
"Of course I asked, but I didn't tell him!" Warner replied casually.
Then he joked: "It seems you still care about him very much!"
Bai Min shook his head and replied: "It's not that I care, I just think this person is very interesting, and there is always something that people can't see through!"
Warner nodded and agreed: "Well, he does have a lot of weird things about him, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the time and energy to study him!"
"Well, let's get down to business. How are you preparing?" Bai Min asked, changing the topic.
"Of course I'm ready, otherwise I wouldn't come to New York!" Warner replied confidently.
"That's good. After we finish the preliminary work, we will watch your performance next. I hope you won't disappoint us!" Bai Min said solemnly.
"Don't worry, in all these years, when have I ever disappointed anyone?" Warner replied proudly.
"Well, I wish you success!" As he said this, Bai Min raised his wine glass.
PS: Recommend the book "Evolution Begins from the Locust Tree". You may be able to tell from my recommendation that I really like this kind of novel about rebirth and heterogeneity. To some extent, it is similar to professional literature, both from another perspective.
Describe the world in their eyes, but this kind of writing is difficult to write, so there are few people who write it. Of course, there is also the most difficult problem to solve, which is whether to transform, because once transformed, it is easy to fall into clichés, so
