"What?! Stevens isn't in New York?" Tangning asked in surprise.
The neighbor nodded and replied: "Yes, he has been gone for more than a month!"
"Did he say when he would be back?" Tangning asked.
"It seems that this is a long journey, so it will take a long time!" the neighbor replied.
"Then do you still remember the day he left?" Tangning asked again.
The neighbor thought for a while and then replied: "It seems to be September 3rd, almost the same date. It's so specific that I can't remember it at the moment."
Tangning did some calculations and suddenly discovered that it was actually the two days when Maxi left in a hurry. Could it be that he already knew about Maxim's long trip, so he stopped bothering himself to find Maxim to talk to him? Unfortunately, Maxi can't be found now.
Otherwise I really want to ask him.
At this time, the neighbor on the side asked curiously: "Sir, do you have anything urgent to do with Stevens? I can help you tell him!"
"Oh, just tell him that Tony-Tang Ning is looking for him and ask him to write me a letter when he comes back!" Tang Ning replied casually.
Unexpectedly, when the neighbor heard Tang Ning's name, he was immediately surprised: "Are you Tony, the author of "Gone with the Wind" - Mr. Tang Ning?"
Then he introduced himself: "Hello Mr. Tangning, my name is John Jenkins. I am a fan of your books. I have heard about you from Stevens a long time ago, but I have never had the chance. I didn't expect to see you today! Can you please
Would you like to come inside and sit for a while?"
Seeing how sincere she was, Tangning couldn't refuse, so she nodded and agreed, "That's troublesome!"
Entering the room, Jenkins first made Tangning a cup of coffee, then took out a beautifully framed copy of "Gone with the Wind" and said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Tangning, could you please sign it for me?"
"Oh, of course!" After saying that, Tangning took the book, signed the title page, and wrote a blessing. After chatting for a while, she declined Jenkins' lunch invitation before leaving.
After coming out of Jenkins' place, Tangning went to Danina's store and asked her, "Have you seen Jonathan recently?"
"Jonathan? Isn't Jonathan dead?" Danina asked in confusion.
Tangning explained: "Well, I didn't make it clear. He is a person who looks very much like Jonathan. I heard from a friend that he saw such a person in New York, so I wanted to ask if you have seen him too?
"
Danina shook her head and replied: "I haven't seen it before!" Then she muttered: "Where are there so many people who look alike!"
"You can't say that. For example, last time you said you saw Paul, and a while ago he told me that he had indeed stayed in New York for a few days, so that's right!" Tangning defended.
"How can Paul be like Jonathan? He's not dead!" Danina retorted, but then she reacted: "Wait a minute, Paul is looking for you?"
Tangning nodded and replied, "Well, he asked me to help him persuade Stevens to sell his friend the stapler patent!"
"Paul would actually go to New Orleans to find you for such a thing. I really can't understand him more and more!" Danina said with emotion.
"Actually, me too!" Tang Ning agreed.
Then he changed the subject and asked: "By the way, is Julie back?"
Danina shook her head and replied: "Not yet!" Then she teased: "What, do you miss her?"
Tangning was about to answer when suddenly a voice called from behind: "Tony!"
Tangning looked back and saw that it was Janet, so she turned around and was about to say hello, but Janet pointed at him and Danina with a shocked look on her face and exclaimed: "You, you guys?"
Tangning asked in confusion, "Don't you know about my relationship with Danina?"
"I, I knew you had a lover in New York, but, I didn't expect it was Danina!" Janet explained.
"What?! You don't know Danina, then, who do you think my lover is in New York?" Tangning asked curiously.
"Isn't it Miss Julie?" Janet replied.
Before Tangning could speak this time, Danina beside her rushed to answer: "Yes, Julie is also Tony's lover, but she is not in New York now!"
Then he turned to Tangning and asked, "Tony, please introduce this beautiful lady!"
"Oh, this is Janet Clark, Brian's new wife!" Tangning introduced helpfully.
Hearing Janet's identity, Danina frowned and said: "Tony, why are you staring at Brian so much? Last time Lauren was like this, this time Janet..."
Before Danina could finish her words, Tangning quickly interrupted: "You really don't blame me this time!"
Just as Tangning was thinking about how to explain, Janet on the side did not expect to say very simply: "Yes, Tony is not to blame this time, it was me who took the initiative to seduce him!"
Janet's frankness made Danina, who has boasted of being eloquent in recent years, not know how to respond. Seeing this, Tangning quickly changed the subject to resolve the embarrassment: "Janet, why are you here?
"
"I'm here to buy clothes!" Janet replied.
I have to say that this reason is extremely powerful. Fortunately, Danina reacted at this time, pulled Janet and said: "Come, I will show you around, tell me which dress you like, and give it to you.
!”
"Isn't this appropriate?" Janet said a little embarrassed.
Danina waved her hands and said: "What's wrong with this? We are all sisters!" Then she whispered into her ear: "I have to ask for your help tonight!"
"Help each other, Tony is really good at this!" Janet agreed.
Seeing the two women whispering, Tangning was inconvenient and didn't want to join in, so she wandered around alone. After Janet was alone, she leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Have you finished your business in New York?"
Janet shook her head and replied: "No, but things can't be done all at once. But there is really nothing to do today. We can have a good time together in the evening! But it won't work tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I will be very happy."
Busy! Let’s do this. From now on, I’ll send messages here, so it’s convenient for both of us!”
Tangning nodded and agreed, "Okay, anyway, I'm staying with Danina during this period." Then she asked, "How long do you have to stay in New York?"
Janet waved her hand and said: "Don't worry about this. We can't go back together anyway. That would easily arouse others' suspicion. Just follow your plan and don't worry about me!"
PS: Congratulations on the 10,000 orders for "The King". It is said that the sun rises in the east and rains in the west. I never expected that a standard foreign historical writer like Xin Haiyue could successfully rewrite a Western fantasy...
