Going Into the World!

Eva emigrated to the United States as a child. Eva's father used to work in the Polish Foreign Ministry, which caused her to live in Russia and Hungary for several years as a child. After that, I went back to Poland for some reason and came to the United States.

I later learned that in '89, communism collapsed in Poland and many government officials lost their positions, and I was fortunate to have someone I know who came to the United States.

Although Eva's father was strict and inflexible, he was not such a bad father to her daughters. But of course, he did not play with them or treat them kindly, but it was more because there were no such dads around when he was a child.

I remember my parents doing well until they came to the United States. But when I came here to San Francisco, my parents suddenly got worse. My father, a typical Polish man who grew up in communism and rigid societies, often had disagreements, and fought frequently, unlike his relatively adaptable mother.

Eva's father didn't speak much English, so he had to work hard to get around the construction site, etc., but it was difficult for people who had previously lived as government officials to adapt to such a life, and it became more and more difficult for them to get along.

'I haven't heard from him since then. Where would he be now?'

One day, Eva remembered her parents arguing loudly at night, but her father didn't come home.

I remember the day I first came for the interview and entered the boss' room. I followed Mr. Crimson into the CEO's office with two other volunteers, and the person sitting in the big boss's room was a young but good-looking Asian.

Is that the boss? I was too young... 'I was surprised to see the young president because he was naturally thinking of an older boss because he was using an office on several floors when he was introduced to the company and interviewed Mr. Crimson.

“Yes, I'm Kayla. I majored in English Literature at Princeton University, and I worked in education centers for a while. He has about a year of experience as an Assistant and Management at IBM.” I thought I would fall as soon as I heard the resume of the candidate who initially introduced me. Too compared to my humble history at a call center

“Yes?! Yes, please call me Eva. It's Polish. Everyone I know just calls me Eva.” As soon as I finished introducing myself to the first candidate, I suddenly get asked, and I remember being so embarrassed.

‘Chuckle ~. I thought it just fell off. Why the hell did you pick me?’ In fact, when I saw the conditions or interviews, I thought I would become the first Kayla volunteer, but I was even happier because I did not expect to be informed later.

However, I wanted to ask why I chose it later.

‘I think the boss is really cool. I think he's about my age, too. How could he do that?’ Maybe Eva spent her adolescence without her father, but she thought it was so cool that John, the boss, worked. I don't know what I wanted to find in there, a wish I could rely on and cherish my father.

After my father left, my life was hard, so I couldn't have a good time. The boys approached the school a lot, but I had to take care of my brother, and I couldn't afford to have a boyfriend in a busy day.

Even when I entered college, my life pattern did not change much. At one point, I had a boyfriend who followed me around and met me, but I broke up after college.

‘I don't know why I did it that day.’ Eva is ashamed to remember the day she went out with John. I liked him, but he didn't go to bed with me.

It was okay to feel better after having a meal in a nice restaurant for the first time, but I think I was relaxed by drinking a little wine and cocktails.

Sitting in a cozy and atmosphere bar together, I think the longing for someone who has been there for a long time burst out of my mind. There was the sweet music of Notting Hill, and it took away my mind.

"Wah! How dare I ask you to be my boyfriend for one day? ’When I thought about it again, I laughed.

I'm thinking about the past for a moment like that, and the boss calls me.

“Don't you love this song? ”

“Yes, it hurts when I hear it, I miss something, I miss it, I love it. ”

Previously, a film by Richard Gear and Julia Roberts called Pretty Woman hit it and the theme song was extremely popular.

‘It's been almost a decade since Fritillion came out, and Julia Roberts is amazing. Ten years later, the mountains will change, too.’ I remember the movie was released 90 years ago, so I was surprised that the same actress hit it with another romantic movie.

‘Because I'm listening to this kind of music, my heart is flustered. ’

San Francisco is already dark outside by 5: 00 in December. Neon signage into the forests of buildings unfolding outside the window, shifting color and illuminating the city. I feel lonely because dark spaces hidden between the bright lights of the street illuminate a corner of my heart.

‘Usually when I'm my age, I'd have a drink with my friends and enjoy the rest of my college life.’ I was jealous because I had to give up my ordinary life instead of gaining a lot.

At the end of the year, I like to go to Korea to eat delicious food prepared on time while rolling on warm beds, and I like to spend it with my parents, but it's only been a week since I went there. I told him I was busy, but I can't leave soon enough.

"Hehe, I shouldn't have acted so busy. '

Actually, I'm busy. There are also a few holiday parties this time, as well as a lot of people to meet separately.

Moreover, the Johnstone Group in the United States has not yet been organized, so I've been in Korea for over a week, and I'm piling up and waiting for my payment.

“Ms. Grant, what are you looking at?” Eva approaches me and asks, as I look out the window, and I'm lost in thought.

♪ she who always seems so happy 'n proud ♪

who's eyes can be so private and so proud

♪ no one's allowed to see them when they cry ♪

♪ she may be the love that can and hope to last ♪

♪ may come to me from shadows of the past ♪

♪ that I remember till the day I die ♪

The music in Notting Hill continues in strange harmony with the sound of Eva's high-heels coming in.

“Huh? It's a little bitter just looking out the window. Maybe it's the end of the year. I'm upset, too. ”

“Ms. Grant?” Eva opens her eyes slightly surprised to see me. From the outside, I was surprised to find bitterness or loneliness in the way I was always busy leading the company.

“No, why? Can't I do that? How's Eva, by the way? How's your brother doing at school?” I remembered my brother going to UC Berkeley and asked.

“Yeah, I've been really busy lately. She complains that she doesn't have time for part-time study. ”

“Oh, yeah? The tuition and allowance aren't going to work, are they? ”

“Well, yeah. But Sylvia's a good girl. She makes her own allowance.” I think I have a little smile on my mouth about my sister, but I think you two have a good relationship.

Come to think of it, I asked Eva to do all kinds of errands for coffee, but she only bought me dinner once. If I move like this and disappear, it's actually not easy to get a secretary like this again. I liked wanting to do something.

“Bill the company for my brother's tuition. ”

“Yes?! Tuition?" Eva is surprised by my words. Suddenly, he gives me a look that wants an explanation.

“Oh, I'll tell Mr. Crimson to charge his brother for school. It's a scholarship for the company, not a lot of money. ”

“Can I do that?” There's something puzzling about looking at me.

“Just, I want to do it for you. Don't say anything. Do it. Actually, Eva takes good care of me. Where's the secretary of coffee nowadays? Haha.” I made that decision momentarily because I was moved, but it's not logical to explain it. I slapped him with a smile.

I'm telling you, people don't necessarily make logical decisions about everything. In fact, it may be more to do as the heart desires.

“Okay, thank you.” He opens his mouth to say something to me, then shuts up.

I raised my hand and stroked my cheeks without even knowing it, because the hesitation was ridiculous and cute.

“Oops, sorry. It's so cute. Hahaha!” I avoided direct physical contact since that day, but it was a little awkward because my hands went up by themselves.

“It's okay." Eva smiles, gives me a little kiss on my cheek and leaves the room. Heh! It's okay to look behind the scenes anytime. I touched Eva's cheeks in the heat of her lips.

I'm sitting at my desk again, looking back at what happened a while ago, and suddenly I'm curious why that happened.

♪ for where she goes I got to be ♪

meaning of my life is

♪ she, she, she ♪

‘This lyrics and rhythms are really good to hear. Is that how this song was made?’ Looking for the cause, it seems to add some emotional stimulation to this song in a plausible atmosphere.

Suddenly, I was curious about the correct lyrics. Open Google's search box, type "Notehill" and "She," and the search will appear soon.

“Haha, this is made by our company, but it's a quick search.” I was happy that the relevant materials were listed according to my tastes. When you press the first one, the lyrics come out.

After finding it, I read the other results one by one, and I noticed things that I didn't know. The singer in Notting Hill (‘She’) is an Elvis Costello singer who sings someone else's song. This song was originally owned by a different owner.

The original song was sung by Charles Aznebuir, a French singer in '74.

I didn't get along well with art, so I didn't know much about songs or records, but it's interesting in its own way.

"Tsk, I just didn't know it. This song has always been famous. Come on, since it's '74, it's been forgotten by people for a while, unless it's a really profound song." I try to talk to myself. Or maybe I didn't know because I was ignorant. Cuckoo.

“This is the first one from Barclay Records. Hmm. But this time it's Polygram. Huh! Polygram acquired Barclay? ”

Since I have no background at all, I don't recognize any of the names that appear. I'm busy memorizing names and terms, but nothing is unnecessarily complicated.

I was still curious about the new field, so I pressed a few dozen links at a time to read them.

“Hey, Philips? Isn't this an electronic company? Oh, Philips is in the record business and the movie business. ”

This is also surprising to me. Turns out he was in the Phillips entertainment business called Polygram Music and Polygram Pictures. I thought it was a company that makes simple electronics.

Philips was an octopus, just like GE or a financier in my country. Health, light bulbs, electronics, oil, records and film companies are just what they find on the Internet.

“By the way, there are a lot of foreign companies with octopuses. The aid of the octopus is Europe. This is a deep legacy, too. ”

I've always wanted to do business across multiple fronts. 'I feel like someone's words offended me, and I have a kind of immunity. I became more and more interested in Philips and now I dig deeply. After reading it thoroughly, it is really complicated.

Philips has done business in many areas. Although the precursor sector was still number one, the TV tube was number two and its place in the semiconductor sector, it has still remained insolvent from the near-fatal nightmare.

Shortly before the fall of $2.3 billion in the '90s, he was reborn with external assistance, but in recent years, several businesses hit the reef and the investment funds for key business expansion have dried up.

I initially put Polygram, a subsidiary that I could not afford but could not manage, on the market to sell it at an expensive price. But the funny thing is, it's a company that bought polygrams. It is a company in Montreal, Canada called Seagram, and is the world's leading producer of alcoholic distilled water.

‘This is ridiculous. Why would a liquor distillery buy a polygram? Are they insane or are they insane?’ Nonsense. Reading it again, this is a bit different from what I thought.

The distillery was running a movie company. Food and entertainment. The two industries that don't really matter here are major industries. That's weird. '

The more I read this, the more confused I get. Suddenly, too much unfamiliar information came in. Usually, "Art feeds you? I was really ignorant because I had the idea.

“Oh, they own a movie company called Universal Studio? I thought I was in a little movie business, but I'm not!” The company that laughed about making distilled water is the owner of the famous Disney comic book Universal Studios. I'm learning a lot today.

I called Mr. Crimson to find out more about the innards.

“Mr. Crimson, do you know a company called Sigram? ”

“A gram? I don't know. Isn't that some kind of wine company?” Mr. Crimson fits the tune similarly.

“Huh? I don't know if it's true, but it's similar. It's a company that makes distilled water into wine. How did you know?”

“Yes, now that I think about it, I think it's the company that made the wine cooler in the cellar of your house.” Ho-ho, I know that you can't ignore the whole relationship.

“It's no different, because Sigram is in the entertainment business. So, did you know that this company runs a universal studio? ”

“Yes?! Universal studio?” It's a surprise to Mr. Crimson, too.

“Surprising, isn't it? At the beginning of this year, a company called Polygram that I'm interested in went to Sigram, and then I think there's something complicated going on, and I want you to look into it. I'll give you plenty of time, so ask around and find out. Then please.”

I decided to investigate Mr. Crimson and wait for him. However, the more I think about it, the more I am interested in the entertainment business. This is a recession-free business.

I take a break, and every day is going too fast. I didn't do much, but the Thanksgiving was over. I'd like to relax more, but I'm up for the waitresses. We still haven't sorted out the characters.

For your information, Notting Hill is made in Polygram. Music was produced in a polygram record, and the film was made in a place called Working Title Films, which turned out to be a polygram subsidiary.

Writers still don't understand why they're so complicated. As I read, they're all intertwined, and they're stretched like a spider web.
