At 5:40 in the morning, with the beeping of the alarm clock, Carmen Keith woke up in her room on time.
I dressed carefully and washed myself. Before I left the house, I didn't forget to look carefully at the girl in uniform and ponytail in the bathroom mirror. I scored 100 points. I took a deep breath and prepared for a new day in my new life.
First, we came to the living room, where the team of maids who also got up on time gathered here. When the housekeeper Angora Davis saw everyone arriving, she began to arrange the work. Some were responsible for breakfast, some were responsible for cleaning, and some were delivering and picking up things, all in an orderly manner. After all the two groups of eight waitresses dispersed and the housekeeper put away her memo, Carmen finally asked: "Ms. Davis, what about me?"
"Carmen, Madam plans to make you the boss's personal assistant. You have to follow me these days. There are many things you need to know."
Carmen was only handed over to Angre when Sofia left yesterday. However, the girl also knew the status of this housekeeper in the Wei family's maid team, and nodded after hearing this.
I'm just curious, who is the lady the housekeeper is talking about exactly
After Angre finished speaking, he ignored Carmen for the time being. He walked to a sofa in the corner of the living room and instructed the two waitresses who came with special tools on how to clean the fabric sofa. After a while, he turned around again, because he saw The girl on the sofa with a slightly strange and rosy face said: "By the way, you were probably guessing just now, but first of all, you have to remember, Carmen, if I didn't make a distinction specifically, then the lady I'm talking about is Mrs. Janet, Victoria. In the Stroll family, besides the boss, the second most important person is the wife, do you understand?"
The housekeeper's tone was soft, but Carmen Case, who had been taught too many things in the past two years, immediately nodded seriously: "I remember, Ms. Davis."
At this time, the two waitresses who had been sent out to fetch things returned.
Seeing Angre step forward, Carmen quickly followed suit.
One of the two waitresses held a bulging transparent document bag in her hand. Carmen saw that there were some newspapers and documents inside. The other woman carefully held a black women's suit in a dust cover in her hand.
The housekeeper stepped forward to check and whispered. After the two women left, she walked to the kitchen and said to Carmen behind her: "The boss has the habit of reading newspapers after exercising in the morning. Usually people in that city will read Which city has one or two of the most well-known newspapers, such as the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal here in New York, and there may be other information that will be delivered regularly every day. If Miss A is here, these are needed Give it to A first. If she is not here, the boss will ask you to send it there in person after the exercise."
Carmen agreed again, remembering quickly.
The two came to the kitchen and looked at the four busy maids here. The housekeeper carefully checked and explained again, and then said to Carmen: "The boss doesn't care much about the three meals, but every week there will be a meal at Dume Point Manor. Send a list, unless the boss has special needs, you only need to arrange for the waitresses to follow it, including if there are guests, there will also be a list."
Carmen nodded and couldn't help but think of the 'guest' last night.
Last night, it wasn't until there was no movement outside that the housekeeper went out to clean up the mess. She never saw anything, but when she passed by the living room to rest, she smelled the vague smell still lingering in the air.
The two stopped in the kitchen briefly and then left again. Carmen was led by the housekeeper around the three-story duplex apartment, including the rooftop terrace, introducing each room and the various details of the owner's home in detail. This luxury duplex apartment that occupies the entire three floors of a building is really big. The three floors total 1,200 square meters of space, which is equivalent to the size of 10 apartments in an ordinary home. After walking around, even though the space feels good, Carmen is still overwhelmed. A little dizzy.
Finally coming to the living room downstairs again, the housekeeper said again: "The boss should be in the gym, I will take you to meet him."
As he spoke, he walked towards the corridor on the other side of the living room.
Carmen quickly followed.
The housekeeper glanced at the still patient girl next to her and spoke again, "Carmen, there is one more thing. I am telling you this without reservation. It's just me. The girls in this apartment, including the rest of you, I have never seen them before. You will need to be quite strong and scheming to lead them in the future. This is a little piece of advice from me."
Carmen was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Before she could speak, the two of them had already entered the gym.
A young man wearing a vest and shorts was jogging on a treadmill by the window that could see Central Park. Judging from the faint traces of sweat on the man's exposed skin, this exercise obviously lasted for a while, but his body shape was still stable and there was a trace of sweat. With some faint explosive power, it seems that it can explode at any time.
The main reason why these thoughts came to Carmen was that she had seen images of someone beating people in an underground boxing ring, and every time she thought about it, she felt cruel.
The two entered the door, and Simon's half-hour jogging quickly came to an end.
After stepping off the treadmill and taking the towel handed by the housekeeper, Simon looked at Carmen Case in front of him and greeted with a smile: "Hi, Carmen."
After greeting him like this, he immediately understood that this was probably the 'gift' that Sophia had talked about to him the day before yesterday.
Not surprisingly.
After two years of subtle brainwashing, coupled with a series of auras about the man in front of her that made people look up to her, when faced with someone's greeting, she didn't expect him to call out her name. With his heart beating faster, he tried to look at Simon, forced himself to calm down, and responded: "Hello, Mr. Westeros."
"I like it when you call me boss."
Carmen changed the title obediently: "Yes, boss."
As Simon walked out, he continued: "Your British accent is very nice."
"Well, thank you."
With this promise, before the housekeeper could signal again, Carmen Case followed him out of the gym like a newborn bird seeing its first living creature. It wasn't until the man turned to the bathroom next door that the girl stepped in the door together. After reacting, I was suddenly at a loss.
Simon took off his sports vest and was about to take a shower. When he saw the girl following him in, he smiled and asked, "Do you want to take a shower with me?"
Carmen's face suddenly turned red, and then she found the courage. She looked up at the man in front of her and whispered, "I, I am willing."
"It's a pity that I don't have a ring for you," Simon made a little joke. He came over and reached out to hold the girl's chin, lowered his head and pecked her on the lips, then gently pushed the girl and said: "Go out first, we are not taking a shower together now." when."
Carmen drifted out of the bathroom in a daze. When the man closed the door, she gradually came back to her senses. She glanced at the housekeeper who had just stood by the door. She felt a little embarrassed, but she did not run away.
The housekeeper didn't mean to laugh at Carmen, and she understood it very well.
For the men standing at the top of the pyramid in this world, even if they are fat and bloated, they can easily capture groups of beautiful women. Not to mention, whether it is appearance, talent, or wealth and power, the traits of my boss that are highly attractive to women are at their peak. Even the housekeeper herself, because of the movement between her boss and a certain woman in the living room last night, They all had scattered erotic dreams all night.
The two women waited patiently outside the bathroom. Within ten minutes, Simon finished taking a shower, put on the furniture clothes prepared in advance and walked out of the bathroom.
The housekeeper greeted softly, followed quickly, and talked about a serious matter: "Boss, over in Boston, Ms. Meletskova, Ms. Rozin and their families have made arrangements. In addition, Melets Ms. Kova said, I hope to meet you as soon as possible, there is something very important.”
The two female teachers who were acquired in Ukraine last time, Ulyanna Meretskova and Maria Rozin, according to Simon's wishes, had already come to the United States and were sent to Harvard University as teachers. . With the cooperation of the energy of the Westeros system, this matter did not encounter much obstacles. After all, Harvard University has more than 2,000 faculty and staff. In comparison, the abilities of the two women are still in the upper ranks.
At the same time, the two women's children were also arranged to come.
Simon nodded when he heard what the housekeeper said, and then wondered: "What's the matter?"
The housekeeper shook her head: "Ms. Meretskova didn't say anything."
"I'll make time to come over."
Simon said, remembering something, and was about to explain casually when he noticed that Carmen was still following him. He sent the girl to get himself a glass of soda. After she left, he gave some instructions to the housekeeper in a low voice.
Then he went directly to the restaurant, where Girl A was already sitting here, looking through the information. There were several labeled newspapers and documents placed on a seat beside the large dining table.
Simon came to Girl A first, lowered his head and kissed her, then sat down in his seat, picked up the top copy of the New York Times, and asked: "The ratings of last night's "American Idol" How about it?"
Girl A skillfully reported a series of numbers: "The average number of viewers was 41.1 million, which was 20.1% higher than the 34.2 million viewers in the first episode of the first season last year. The highest number of viewers was 46.7 million. The ratings for the 18 to 49 age group were 20.5. The core The data are all within expectations, and even if subsequent ratings decline, the overall average data will exceed that of the first season."
Simon nodded with satisfaction and said no more.
For a TV show, it is normal for the first season to be a hit and the second season to reach peak popularity again. The wild viewing figures close to the Oscars are not uncommon in this era before the full rise of the Internet and cable TV. However, this data can probably be regarded as the pinnacle of this new version of "American Idol".
After two consecutive seasons of freshness, it will definitely start to fade away in the third season.
Simon did not ask again, but Girl A continued: "One more thing, boss, over in China, Jinshu Media contacted ABC yesterday, hoping to get the copyright of "American Idol" in mainland China."
Simon was stunned when he heard this.
As a phenomenal song talent show, the global copyright operation of "American Idol" is quite successful. Similar programs are currently launched in many countries and regions around the world, and only the copyright fees are paid. However, Simon had not thought much about China before. After all, the first phenomenal singing reality show in mainland China, "Super Girl", was not born until 2004.
On the other hand, with the current strong protection of intellectual property rights across the ocean, if anyone noticed this reality show and wanted to follow it, they would probably just do it.
As for copyright, what is that
Unexpectedly, Simon's first big move in the Chinese film industry came directly to this reality show. When Girl A handed over a few pages of more detailed information, Simon briefly browsed and understood it immediately.
Jinshu Media was not inspired by the news, and had even chosen a partner: Jiangsu TV Station.
It suddenly became clear.
This is what Chen Qing's nanny did.
After thinking for a moment, Simon said to Girl A: "Tell ABC to cooperate with this project as much as possible. There is no need to pursue any profits, and the main thing is to cultivate the market."
Girl A nodded, lowered her head and wrote down quickly on her memo.
Simon was reading the newspaper while chatting with Girl A. At 7 o'clock, the housekeeper served breakfast on time.
…
Bedroom upstairs.
After a confusing night, Grace fell into an extremely deep sleep. It wasn't until she felt a big hand caressing her face and subconsciously pressed it against her that she finally woke up.
When she opened her eyes, the man was sitting next to her.
The big hand that hugged him and wanted to take it back rubbed his cheek, turned his head and kissed him, and asked lazily: "What time is it?"
"It's almost eight o'clock," Simon said, "I have to go to work. Come and say goodbye to you."
Grace wanted to get up, but was pressed down by the big hand, and then she lay down obediently. She looked at the man for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to ask, "Simon, were you serious last night?"
Simon nodded: "Yes, but it depends on your wishes."
Grace immediately said: "I do."
Simon curled his lips and wanted to mention that two women had said 'I do' to him this morning, but he didn't say anything. He just rubbed the woman's smooth face and said, "That's no problem."
"But… "
Simon felt the worry of the woman on the bed and said proactively: "In the future, the child's surname will definitely be Westeros. This is not negotiable. Everything else is fine."
When Grace heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red.
In fact, just like when Simon and Lin Su talked about this matter, Grace was most concerned about this.
If a child cannot even get his father's surname, he will always be an illegitimate child in people's eyes. On the contrary, if he gets the surname Westeros, the child will definitely be more legitimate.
In fact, the last time Simon agreed to the name 'Little Simon Lin Westeros' that Lin Su insisted on, he had the same consideration.
There are already five little guys at Dumeijiao Manor, and if nothing else, there will be a sixth one soon.
Six children are enough for two women to worry about. Therefore, Simon will no longer bring the children of other women to the Dume Point Manor, but will be raised personally by the mothers of their respective children.
This requires solving the issue of status.
Because of the subconscious Eastern concepts, Simon is not used to father and son using the same name.
However, since he has decided to have many children and hopes that these children will inherit the huge Westeros system in the future, Simon must give corresponding recognition. 'Little Simon Lin Westeros' is such a name that obviously has a special meaning to outsiders. Once given to Lin Su's child, it actually represents Simon's openness to other women's children besides Janet. Recognition, further, this recognition will also benefit other children in a subtle way.
