Renly, Matthew and Andre completed the moving and check-in procedures on the same day, which made Eaton, who was in retreat and busy designing for the spring and summer fashion week, furious. He even made a video call from Florence regardless of the time difference, and kept talking. Harass Matthew and express his strong dissatisfaction——
As a result, Matthew hung up the phone without mercy..
Later I heard that Eaton turned his grief and anger into inspiration, and the spring and summer fashion week design was completed smoothly. The procrastinated work was finally completed before the deadline. As a result, Andre ridiculed, "You should Invite Matthew to dinner, although he may not buy it.”
However, this cannot be blamed, because Matthew is the busiest person with moving work..
With Matthew's "help", Renly's new home was all sorted out - he said it was help, but in fact Matthew did all the work. With Renly's behavior, the cardboard boxes might just be placed in the hall. , will not be opened in three months; what's more, Renly has no idea about wardrobes and bookshelves, and doesn't know how to classify them at all. Even if he opens the box, he just stuffs it casually without any order..
This is something Matthew can't stand.
Therefore, how can Matthew, who is so busy that his feet never touch the ground, have time to listen to Eaton’s complaints?？
During the entire moving process, in addition to Eaton who was left out in the cold and Andre who was remotely controlled, another little interesting thing happened.：
In the previous apartment, after the rent-out procedure was completed, the owner of the house made a special trip to check the condition of the house. Originally, these matters only needed to be handled by Nathan and the real estate agent, and Renly did not need to come forward at all; but the owner wanted to express his gratitude in person. ——In a city like New York with such a large and frequent floating population, stable, punctual and well-behaved residents like Renly and Matthew are really rare..
Now the owner of the house is expressing regret for "breaking up" because he is not sure whether the next tenant can reach such a level..
Knowing the sincerity of the house owner, Renly also expressed a friendly response - over the years of living in the apartment, if there were any problems or troubles, Nathan informed the house owner that they could always be solved as soon as possible, and would even care about the subsequent use. The situation; and never disturbed the private life of the residents. For the residents, such a landlord is also very rare. Renly is willing to receive the landlord in person and expresses his gratitude..
Then, the accident happened.
When the owner of the house arrived at the scene, he discovered that Renly had been living in his house for more than five years, and his jaw was almost dislocated on the spot..
sincerely.
This senior fund manager who works on Wall Street seldom pays attention to entertainment news. Although he knows about Renly, he does not follow the gossip news all the time. He is completely unaware of the mistakes. If it were not for too much He was so sorry that he made a special trip to express his gratitude - such things are usually left to real estate agents. He may never know that his last tenant was Renly..
After a period of chaos, Renly took a photo with the other party, leaving "evidence"”——
In fact, the paparazzi and reporters already knew that this was Renly's residence. Even without this evidence, the other party could easily find their own house from the news, proving that this was once "the place where Renly lived."”.
A small accident is still not the end.
After Renly and Matthew left, the owner of the house kept all the interior decorations and furnishings intact - to be precise, it should be Matthew's decorations; then, the smart fund manager packed up the two houses and placed them in On the emerging short-term rental B&B sharing website, rentals are available for $3,000 a night..
Such a high price is not inferior to that of a five-star hotel, but... the demand is still in short supply..
This also forced the owner of the house to raise the price all the way up, from US$5,000 to US$8,000 to US$10,000, which finally stopped the car..
But even so, reservations for the B&B are still scheduled for eighteen months in advance, and it is still a hard-to-get overnight stay. All schedules are fully booked; what’s even more exaggerated is that it has become an emerging tourist attraction for New York tour groups and attracts countless movie fans. Traveling thousands of miles to make a pilgrimage.
After Renly learned about it, he couldn't laugh or cry, and couldn't say anything.——
Objectively speaking, the same is true for Beverly Hills in Los Angeles. Special tourist routes have now been developed. Tour guides are responsible for introducing the history of each villa to tourists and which celebrities once lived here; but Beverly Hills The house itself still has long-term residents, most of whom are elites, and a small number are Hollywood producers..
The situation in New York is different.
It's like... it's like it was developed into "someone's former residence" and became a popular cultural place. The problem is that Renly is still alive. This feeling is really indescribable, some subtle and some weird, and it has even become a crowd. Friend’s teasing.
Ryan Gosling directly joked, "Would you still be willing to go back and live for a night to experience the old days?"？”
Even the sharp-tongued Renly can do nothing.
But this was just an episode. Renly successfully completed the move. However, he did not sit in his spacious and bright home all day watching the clouds rise and fall. He quietly left the house again and went to Mount Sinai Hospital..
In the past two years, Renly has been extremely busy with work. He has been flying around the world most of the year, and filming work has also taken up a major part of his life. This has caused him to spend less and less time visiting Mount Sinai Hospital, and he even remembers When was the last time I came here to help?.
Of course, Renly would still call Mount Sinai Hospital on a regular basis to care about Anne Silliman's condition, and regarding the cooperation project between the Heather Cross Foundation and the hospital, his heart never left the group of children in need; However, a phone call is just a phone call after all and cannot be compared with a visit in person..
Arriving at Mount Sinai Hospital again, many things have changed：
Anita Tunisha is still working in the hospital, but Kelly Barton has left; Anne Silliman was transferred to Boston Children's Hospital, because scientific research there has made a breakthrough, and maybe Anne's condition can find a breakthrough , even if it cannot be cured, it can leave the shackles of the hospital - this is also one of the sponsored projects of the Heather Cross Foundation; and most of the other familiar faces have also been replaced..
Even Anita has undergone many changes. A series of physical diseases caused by obesity have also affected her mental condition. Although she still has a familiar face, her negative emotions of complaint and anger are stronger than before. A lot has been added, and it will inevitably be a little difficult to talk..
Renly couldn't blame Anita. Everyone has their own life and their own difficulties. Life is really unfriendly to ordinary people..
What's more, even Renly himself has changed, hasn't he? Do you still remember what their original intention was like?？
But Renly still stayed at Mount Sinai Hospital for most of the day, returned to his position as a volunteer in a down-to-earth manner, and quietly joined the ranks of helping people..
People who were familiar with Renly did not make a fuss; people who were not familiar with Renly did not think much about it because of Renly's low-key and gentleness - they did not think that the famous Renly would help clean up the vomit and organize the library. , which actually gave Renly a relatively quiet space..
It wasn't until late afternoon that Renly said goodbye to Anita and Mount Sinai Hospital..
“You should not continue to come here. You know that your aura may cause unnecessary turmoil. You should enjoy your life. There is no need to insist on doing these terrible things for your own peace of mind or to build a reputation. Things. You can have a happy life.”
When leaving, Anita seemed to be complaining and mocking. It was impossible to tell whether those strange words were for Renly's sake or to exclude Renly. Those nagging words echoed in her ears as she left Mount Sinai Hospital. After that, it disappeared into the lazy breeze of the afternoon..
He was riding a skateboard, with the strong wind whispering in his ears. His white shirt was dancing under the pull of the strong wind. He opened his hands and walked through the dense traffic in New York, as if he just wanted to run faster and faster. You can soar and escape the shackles of gravity.
Just like those years when I first arrived in New York.
The vehicles and crowds of people in sight evolved into a blur of light and shadow, and the complex lives hidden under this steel forest were intertwined together. Without identifying the direction, I just followed my feelings and walked through the spacious and narrow road. Then the vision gradually became clearer——
The familiar streets, familiar buildings, and familiar scenery pulled back the thoughts that were floating nine days away, and the footsteps stopped like this..
pioneer village.
Unknowingly, Renly returned to the pioneer village again. It seemed that nothing had changed, and the previous rhythm of life still remained deep in his subconscious..
Holding his skateboard, he pushed open the door of the Pioneer Village. The doorbell jingled loudly, and Renly stepped lightly into the bar..
Somewhat cautious.
There are still a few hours before nightfall, and the newly opened Pioneer Village has not yet become lively. Only a few familiar drinkers are chatting, and the faces of unfamiliar waiters can also be seen busy completing preparations for the opening; directly ahead The stage is also being busy being decorated, and it looks like there will be a performance tonight..
Some are familiar and some are unfamiliar. The layout of the pioneer village has changed slightly, but the overall structure and style remain unchanged for thirty years..
Renly was a little confused, not sure what he should do. After hesitation, he came to the bar and waited cautiously..
“Hey, give me a moment." Neil Toussaint was still standing at the bar, busy registering the number of goods delivered today. He just caught the customer's figure with his peripheral vision, and without having time to raise his head, he asked casually, "what do you need？”
