The northern hemisphere is at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, but the southern hemisphere is from winter to spring. However, for cities near the sea, the change between the four seasons is usually not obvious.
Melbourne.
In the early morning, I don't know what time it is. I can only feel some morning light reflected through the curtains.
On the big bed in the bedroom, it was obviously late. Janet, who woke up by herself, groaned into Simon's arms and didn't want to get up. She asked vaguely, "honey, what do you eat in the morning?"
Simon was also a little confused. These days, he was pushed by the two women to look after the children. Last night, he read the story to little Nick. At this time, he couldn't help blurting out: "eat the children."
Janet chuckled, "good."
On the other side, with her arms around Simon's waist, Jennifer gently raised her hand and hit him: "don't say that, especially outside. People will take it seriously."
Janet laughed again.
As Simon is now, if he talks nonsense outside, he may be believed to be true. After all, people's instinct is that the richer people are, the more evil they are.
Simon changed from lying on his side to lying on his back. He hugged the female assistant on the other side and gave her a kiss on the face, but put his big hand on the woman's belly: "I've worked so hard for so many days, it's time to have it."
Jennifer leaned over to Simon, a little softer, pressed the man's big hand and said, "I should, but it's going to take a while to know."
One of the most important things in this holiday is that the girl assistant wants to have another child.
Janet pretended to be jealous: "add another one, that's six little guys, Jenny, you'll be more difficult to deal with in the future, until you get wrinkles."
The assistant reached over and pinched Janet's face. "It's possible that either of us will wrinkle first."
And then there was a few slaps.
Opening the little hand of the female assistant, Janet, who was touched by the "inverse scale", immediately said fiercely: "moreover, you can see that some guy who wants to eat children doesn't like children at all."
Instead of answering, Jennifer smiles at Simon.
Simon said, "of course I like children, as long as I'm not allowed to bring them."
"Oh, me too."
The female assistant helplessly looked at the two heartless people around her, sat up and began to dress, and said, "you can sleep a little longer, and I'll prepare breakfast."
They both agreed to see the assistant dressed, and Janet deliberately reached for her hand and made a few frivolous moves, then caused some fun.
When Jennifer gets out of bed and walks to the bathroom, Janet, who owns Simon, sticks to the man tightly, but asks again, "little bastard, so do you like children or not?"
There was a bit of ridicule in the tone.
Simon nodded without hesitation: "of course, according to the theory of genetic instinct, no one would not like children. Recently, I have come to understand another truth. In the life cycle of an individual, you are the winner only if you live longer. Otherwise, everything may become someone else's. In the life cycle of human beings, the winner is to spread his genes more strongly. "
After listening, Janet opened her mouth and bit Simon's shoulder, whining and grinding her teeth for a moment. She loosened her mouth and bent her eyes: "so, this is what I thought after I said those words to you the other day?"
Simon pretended to be confused: "what words?"
Janet bit the man again and said, "let more women have more children for you."
Simon rubbed her hands on Janet: "why don't you give me some more?"
"No," Jeanette immediately refused, but she began to laugh again. Her face was shining on Simon's shoulder, and her voice was evil. "Anyway, no matter which woman has your child, she always has the blood of Johnston family. Hum, any westero is Johnston."
“……”
Seeing Simon's speechless appearance, Janet began to smile again: "that's what dad thought, otherwise, you thought he would accept them so easily."
Simon thought of these days, although he obviously preferred his two grandsons, he didn't show too much rejection towards the little snow sisters and brothers born to Seattle and Sophia. He thought it was true. He couldn't help but sigh: "yes, they are all family."
Janet suddenly got interested again. She wriggled up to Simon and said to him, "little bastard, I suddenly feel that it's exciting to have a lot of children."
Simon put his arms around Janet's slender waist. "That's what I think."
Janet immediately bit off again. "Bad man, how can you think that?"
Simon in a twinkling of an eye also began to beg for mercy: "just think, operation will be very troublesome."
"Bite you, ah Wu..."
Today is Monday, September 2, the beginning of a new week.
It wasn't until more than eight o'clock that a family sat in the restaurant. Simon, two women and five children were still outdoors with the cold of winter. On the contrary, the restaurant was more lively and warm.Unfortunately, there is no snow.
I've been to Melbourne for half a month, but I went skiing in the nearby mountains a few days ago, but only Simon and two Jennie came back after only two days in the mountains because they were worried about their children and all kinds of social activities.
At Simon's current position, it's really not easy to really put everything aside for a holiday.
Fortunately, I will leave today to live in Tasmania, which is opposite to Melbourne, for a few days, so there won't be too much trouble there.
In the dining room.
After breakfast, Janet, who was next to Simon, said another thing: "you really don't want to go to the set of Titanic?"
"Titanic", directed by James Cameron, finally started shooting in July. After all, it took so long and the preparatory work was very sufficient. The original plan was to finish shooting in two months, that is, to finish shooting in the near future. As a result, the shooting progress of the film is not even half of that.
Overspending is inevitable.
Danielis entertainment, who follows up Titanic, is in charge of budget control. The producer in charge of budget control is watching Cameron on the set almost every day, but he still can't control Cameron's procrastination and perfectionism. When he learns that the big boss is coming to Australia for a holiday, he hopes that he can come out in person. Even because the current budget has been seriously overspent, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of future water world, It is also suggested to replace the director directly.
Even two jennies knew about it, but Simon just looked on.
At this time, Simon shook his head and said, "No Seeing both jennies puzzled, she thought about it and said, "now Denise entertainment is too dazzling, or the whole westrow system is too dazzling. If there are some problems, we are very happy to see them."
Janet tilted her head and nodded in agreement.
Sitting opposite, looking after her youngest two children, Jennifer said with a smile, "I feel like you've been deliberately slack in the last year or two, and that's why?"
Janet immediately said: "maybe it's really slack. After all, there are so many women out there. How can we cope without slack?"
Simon smiles and doesn't care about Janet's little tongue. He nods and says: "when a company develops to a certain extent, problems are inevitable. If there are no problems, it is the biggest problem. Now I'm waiting for enterprises like Denise entertainment and igritte to take the initiative to expose the problems."
assistant girl listened to Simon and said, "the next technology bubble burst, is the node?"
"Yes, when the crisis comes, it's easier for problems to emerge."
Janet said: "in fact, all the enterprises in the westero system are relatively young and are in a rising period. Neither Denise entertainment nor igritte have as many problems as you think. It will take at least five to ten years for a serious and rigid big company disease to appear."
Simon said: "Denise's side is really good. Amy, they are all very dedicated. And I watched it myself. However, as you know, last year's IPO made many executives and employees become rich. In addition to the advantage of almost monopolizing the Internet platform, the company's interior is actually quite impetuous. Now in Silicon Valley, every day is full of revelry and entertainment, which is more lively than Hollywood. "
After thinking about it, the assistant said: "Tim, the core of igritte, really doesn't have much enterprising spirit. It's decided by his personality. You've made arrangements to let Bezos take over next year. As for Alice Ferguson, Carol Bartz and, of course, Jeff, they are all very qualified
Janet nodded: "yes, in fact, to be able to choose excellent professional managers is our man's best talent. Otherwise, the westero system could not have done so much. "
Then he thought of an interesting thing: "you don't know, at the beginning, Jeff, I was going to pull him to cersei capital, because he was a very excellent professional manager on Wall Street. Simon was selecting senior executives of igritte at that time. He didn't want to be too rigid and professional, so I randomly selected one from my interview list, that is, Jeff, no problem It's amazing to think that he would be so competent. "
In fact, the female assistant also knew about it. When she saw Janet talking about it, she nodded her head and felt magical.
After breakfast, the family went to Johnston's mansion to say goodbye to the old man, and then went to the dock. They still took three yachts to Tasmania.
Near noon, the three boats landed at a wharf in the northwest corner of Tasmania, where the grassland and the forest meet. Over the years, Simon has built many manors and residences in his own Tasmanian territory. This time, he lives in a manor near the cliff where the grassland and the forest meet.
Not far away, the northwest corner of Tasmania has a climate similar to that of Melbourne.
In advance, a team of waiters came to decorate it. After the family arrived, it was lunch time to take a short rest.
Then there was no special arrangement.
It's sunny in the afternoon. The family is sitting on the open terrace on the second floor of the neoclassical style castle in the manor. In the west is the blue sea, in the East is the snow capped mountains hidden in the clouds, in the south is the vast primeval forest, and in the north is the green pasture in winter because of the sea."The garden of Eden."
Huddled in a soft chair with Simon, they looked at a Spanish Book "one hundred years of solitude" in the hands of a man, and heard the frolic of the children under the care of a female assistant. Janet suddenly said so.
Simon nodded, with something else in his mouth: "yes, Eden."
Janet's face came up and put up a post with Simon: "project Eden."
"Oh."
Like the Sowell plan and the Trojan plan, Simon planned another Eden plan in silence.
Tasmania is Simon's chosen garden of Eden.
In fact, a lot of things have started long ago. Simon's pessimism about the final prospect of human society is the root. Since he believes that some things can't be avoided, the best way is to choose a relatively safer place in advance, for himself and the coming children.
Simon didn't have a very clear concept and plan for this matter. He just spent money to build an underground shelter in the forest of Tasmania.
Over the years, our thinking has become more and more clear.
Next, Simon will promote this matter from the aspect of Australian policy. He will also try to bring in as many of the top people of the pyramid in the world as possible. As long as everyone regards Australia as "the garden of Eden", when something happens and everyone forms a tacit understanding, this place can become a real paradise.
Janet just mentioned it, but didn't say much. Instead, she looked at Simon's book again: "honey, why do you like" one hundred years of solitude "
Simon thought for a moment and said, "I'm not interested in the emotions that Marquez wants to express in the book. However, when you read it with your heart, you can feel the feeling that time flies from the novel like a fast flowing story. It seems that hundreds of thousands of words have passed in a twinkling of an eye. This is a wonderful experience. Especially now, when you stay with your lover and children, surrounded by beautiful scenery, you can extend the short afternoon time to 100 years Imagine, it's beautiful, isn't it? "
Janet hummed twice and stopped talking. Her eyes fell on Simon's book and she began to immerse herself in it.
Later, the female assistant who sent the children to take a nap joined in.
A hundred years of solitude in books.
Outside the book, I'm not lonely at all.
This kind of pastoral life lasted two or three days. It was not until Thursday morning that Simon thought of dealing with some work matters again. Girl a has been with Simon these days. However, according to Simon's instructions, as long as it is not particularly important to deal with things immediately, it is not necessary to let him know.
In the past few days, girl a has not mentioned any work to Simon.
On Thursday morning, after processing some accumulated documents, Simon checked his e-mail. In fact, it was mainly personal e-mail. Then he saw a letter from Chen Qing, talking about an event that happened a few days ago.
There's a little schadenfreude between the lines.
Probably, Zhu Momo's incident happened, and his mother came to him. Zhu Momo's mother also asked to talk to him.
