Reborn in America: I Have an Equipment Slot

After turning off his phone, seeing that no one had come into the private room yet, Irving stood up and prepared to leave.

He had just stood up when he saw Beyoncé leading Walt Jr. straight in through the door.

Seeing that he had been caught red-handed pretending to be drunk, Irving scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

However, Walter wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, he looked at Owen with a shocked expression and asked, "Oh, kid, you were pretending to be asleep!"

"Sorry." Seeing that his act of pretending to be drunk had been discovered, Owen simply stopped hiding it and beckoned to the waiter standing outside the door, indicating that he wanted two more drinks.

The waiter looked at Walter, and after receiving an affirmative answer from Walter, he turned and left, returning shortly with two glasses of whiskey.

Walter turned around and took the two glasses of whiskey from the waiter, handing one to Owen and saying with a smile, "Sorry, kid, I hope you'll forgive my intrusion."

You know, people in our line of work can't go against the wishes of their clients.

However, you should think more positively; there aren't many people that Ms. Catherine would specifically test.

It's all because you're so incredibly charming.

Hearing Walter's praise, Irving shrugged helplessly and took the glass.

"Alright, then I guess I'll just have to force myself to accept that reason, because my charm is just too outstanding." Owen took a sip of whiskey and then smiled.

"To be honest, Mr. Walter, I've had a feeling of unreality from yesterday until now."

They passed the interview immediately.

Without encountering any resistance, he became the male lead in a movie.

As your boss, you treat me this well.

Everything went so smoothly it felt like a dream...

Although everything that just happened was just a test, it did relieve me.

After all, I climbed my way up from the bottom, and I've long understood that there's no such thing as a free lunch.

"Now I understand why Ms. Catherine placed her hopes on you for this film." Hearing Irving's感慨 (sentiments/reflections), Walter raised his glass in a toast: "To those tough years."

Irving raised his glass and clinked it with Walter's, "To the passing years."

After saying that, taking advantage of Walter's inattention, Irving pretended to take a sip of whiskey.

Although this "test" seems to have ended perfectly.

But after being tricked before, Irving became wary and dared not drink anything offered to him.

"By the way, Mr. Walter, if it's convenient, could you please give me your contact information? If I encounter any problems in the future, I can consult you." Owen put down his wine glass and then asked.

"Of course." Little Walter smirked and teased, "Kid, you're the calmest young man I've ever met. You know, you just passed Ms. Catherine's 'test.' Do you know what that means?"

"That means you've already stepped one foot into that world of capital!"

"But this is just the beginning, isn't it?" Irving shrugged, feeling instantly exhausted.

Sure enough, the claim on the internet that marrying a rich woman is the easiest way to get rich is all a lie.

What rich woman is so stupid?

He was only using the other party's name to play the male lead in a movie, and he was tested.

If he didn't control himself tonight, Irving didn't even dare to imagine what he would face when he woke up tomorrow morning.

Being removed from the film's credits would probably be the least of their worries.

"Mr. Walter, can you do me a favor?" Owen was about to leave, but he seemed to suddenly remember something and turned back to ask Walter.

"No problem, you've passed the test, so we're family. Just ask if you need any help." Little Walter downed his whiskey in one gulp and then spoke.

Seeing Irving look at Beyoncé, who was standing quietly to the side, Walt waved his hand.

Beyoncé nodded slightly and tactfully left.

Before leaving, he also made sure to close the door of the private room tightly.

"I'm very interested in the tobacco processing ship those two important figures mentioned. If it's convenient, could you please help me find out how to contact that ship?"

Irving spoke slowly, and seeing Walter frown slightly, he quickly added, "If it's inconvenient, then forget it."

"Oh, of course, no problem..." Under the influence of alcohol, Walter instinctively agreed, but then he froze, looking at Owen: "Sorry, what did you just say?"

"You're not planning to smuggle those cheap 'leaf cigarettes' laced with marijuana, are you?"

"Are you crazy, Owen?" Little Walter looked shocked and gave Owen a disdainful look. "Kid, you're the dumbest guy I've ever met. You know, you just passed Lady Catherine's test!"

I've already said it before: as long as you act diligently, you'll at least become a Hollywood star in the future!

If you were a little more quick-witted, you might actually be able to stand next to Ms. Catherine and step into that world of capital!

Why would you give up a perfectly good Hollywood star career to smuggle those "leaf cigarettes"?

"Owen, are you drunk? Or did you just pour whiskey straight into your head?"

"I'll give you a referral fee, plus a 10% commission on the profits."

"Owen, I..." Little Walter was about to end this pointless conversation and turn to leave, but upon hearing Owen's words, he immediately paused, looking at Owen: "Sorry, how much did you just say you'd give me?"

Owen looked at Walter and nodded firmly: "If you can get me the contact information for that tobacco processing ship and keep my smuggling activities a secret from Ms. Catherine, I'll give you ten percent of the total profits."

"Mr. Walter, you should know how many loyal customers of 'leaf tobacco' there are in Miami."

"I'm sure you can calculate the profit margin yourself; you should know how lucrative this business is..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the private room fell silent.

After a long ten seconds, Walter finally looked at Owen and slowly said, "Are you sure you're not joking? Smuggling tobacco is indeed a very profitable business, but it's also accompanied by danger."

"In my understanding, you can't make money with absolute security, sir," Owen said with a smile.

Having confirmed that Irving wasn't joking, Xiaohua nodded.

He didn't say anything more, gestured for Owen to wait there, and then pushed open the door and left.

A few minutes later, Xiao Hua pushed open the door and walked in, holding a note in his hand.

"This is the satellite phone number for that tobacco processing ship. Call it and say it's a referral from Turner in Washington. There's no discount, but at least you won't have to wait in line to pick up the goods," Little Walter slowly shook his head, offering a reminder.

"If it's less than a hundred boxes, then forget it. To be honest, I genuinely think you'd be better off acting and being a star than engaging in smuggling..."
