If it is like this, there are many benefits for her, like Aniston, as Eric's girlfriend, her status in the "Friends" crew is like that of a princess. Even now, the other five actors are no less famous than Aniston, but in the "Friends" crew, Aniston receives much more special care than the other five people. UTA's preference for Aniston in terms of resources is incomparable to the other five actors. Although this is related to Aniston's father being the producer of "Friends," everyone knows that this is mainly due to Eric.

Nicole of course also wanted to enjoy this kind of "treatment," and she didn't care if people behind her back gossiped about her. As long as they knew she was Eric's woman, they had to hold her carefully. But although Nicole had this intention, Eric never actively introduced her to other people. So the girl had to do it herself. During this time, she created some small accidents and hints, and almost everyone who should know about her relationship with Eric knew, while those who shouldn't know still didn't.

Eric was actually quite clear about the girls' little schemes, but Nicole was always very cautious and never crossed his line. What could he do? He couldn't explain it to everyone who knew about their relationship.

Eric silently walked to the big bed, put two pillows against the headboard, picked up the file sent by Alan, and patted it casually beside him. The girl immediately showed a coquettish smile, took off her thin silk nightgown, climbed onto the bed in a delicate black lace nightdress, and slid into Eric's arms like a docile kitten. She gently teased and rubbed Eric's body with her soft and smooth body, and her small hands even tried to pull off the bath towel around Eric's waist.

Eric slapped the unruly girl's butt. Eric said, "No more fooling around, wait until I finish looking at these things."

Nicole came up and asked, "What's going on?"

Eric ran his big hand along the warm skin and slid to the girl's chest. He caught a soft one from underneath the lace and gently massaged it, saying: "The information of the real estate tycoon who invited me for lunch today."

"Oh," the girl nodded, her face expressionless, leaning against the man's chest with little gasps under Eric's big hands, occasionally nibbling his chest with her teeth.

Eric paid no attention to the girl's little gestures, occasionally taking his hand back from her chest to flip the page of the file. The information Alan had hastily gathered was not much, but it was enough for Eric to have a full understanding of Donald Trump.

After looking at the information in the file, Eric realized that what Donald Trump had said at noon was half true and half false, and perhaps the other person knew it too. If he was interested later, he would definitely collect relevant information, so he dared not fabricate it.

However, some concepts were changed in some places, and some things were said ambiguously.

As Donald said, it's true that his real estate company needs financing. Donald's capital chain has been stretched to the point of breaking at any time. But the banks are reluctant to lend him any more. not because of the overall economic situation in the United States but because of Donald Trump's ambition to spread his company's net too wide. Therefore, he was hit hardest in the real estate industry's downturn at the beginning of this year, so much so that the banks were caught between a rock and a hard place, treating him like an elder, because if Donald's real estate company went bankrupt, the banks would suffer the most losses. Although the bank groups have done some work to avoid Donald's real estate stock company going bankrupt, they are still not willing to lend him a penny.

Nicole's hands on her chest became lighter and lighter as she massaged it. Eventually, she stopped, and her eyes flashed. She lifted her thigh and rubbed it against Eric a few times, then asked in a soft voice, "Eric, what do you think about me getting a breast augmentation?"

Eric curiously shifted his gaze from the file and peeked under the girl's bonnet: "Pretty good, what kind of breast augmentation?"

Nicole pulled the blanket down and straightened up towards Eric, asking, "Um... don't you think it's too small?"

Eric said indifferently, "Do whatever you want; go ahead and get it done." After that, Eric put his gaze back on the document.

Nicole bit her lips, although Eric said it casually, the girl still keenly caught the hint of displeasure in Eric's eyes, directly dispelling her original thought.

Eric flipped to the back and found that Alan had also conveniently found some articles about economic experts' analysis of the North American real estate industry in recent years. He then found a question: Donald told him during lunch that it was a good opportunity to bottom out the real estate market, but economic experts analyzed that this decline in the real estate industry had just begun. According to the past rules, this decline would continue for two or three years. As for how long it would stay in the undervalued period, it would depend on the subsequent economic situation. That is to say, investing in real estate in North America is not a wise choice for at least five years in the future.

The last North American house price curve illustration completely eliminated the slightest hint of motion in Eric's heart because, from the 1950s to the 1990s, the overall trend of house prices in North America was not what Donald Trump said at lunch time to maintain an upward momentum. Although it fluctuated, it still remained in a relatively stable range. In the past 40 years, although the currency is certain to have experienced inflation, the house price has not changed much. This is different from the other side of the Pacific in the previous life, the house price in North America is closely related to the economic situation, and the political influence on the house price is not great. On the other hand, the other side of the ocean was just the opposite. House prices were held hostage by politics. That's why, in the past, experts from the other side of the ocean shouted year after year that house prices would plunge, but they never did. Because those experts simply analyzed from an economic perspective, forgetting the political factors. Therefore, prices cannot be allowed to fall, even if money is not required, face must be maintained. So whenever there is a downward trend in house prices, the original tight policy is like a belt around the waist of a wolf seeing a naked woman, it loosens with a snap, and various stimulus policies follow.

Eric shook his head vigorously, throwing out these ideas, threw the file aside, pulled down the towel around his waist, and pushed the girl's shoulder: "Go appease it; I'll give you a lesson later."

"You're so annoying," Nicole gave Eric a cold glance, yet meekly crawled down.

Eric sighed comfortably and deeply.
