When Maria Rozin saw Simon walking towards the court with her three sons, she hesitated for a moment, but finally followed the man's advice and returned to the cafe.
Then, just after sitting down at the previous window seat, Maria subconsciously wanted to get up again, because she saw four tall and hot female caddies wearing only vests and hot pants walking towards the four of them.
this…
Damn little man, you don’t intend to talk to your own child, you are clearly trying to teach him a bad lesson!
Just as he was hesitating whether to go there, Girl A appeared, sat down opposite Maria, casually opened a document, looked at her hesitation, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Maria pointed out the window at the court.
Girl A turned her head and glanced, then withdrew her gaze and said: "Sit down, according to the boss's wishes, your children will be tempted much more than this in the future. If they can't even survive this scene, , there is no need to talk about the future.”
"But Vic and the others are still young."
Girl A stopped looking at her, lowered her head and opened a document in front of her, and said, "Do you plan to wait until your children are 18 years old before teaching them how to behave?"
Maria finally sat down, still looking at the stadium outside the window, and retorted: "I think these are two different things."
"Actually, it's the same thing," Girl A said: "In your previous position, you did teach your three children very well. However, since the boss said what he just said, then they will have to Jump directly into a new social level. In this social level, one thing is very important, and that is to have considerable self-control, enough to resist all kinds of temptations around you."
When Maria heard this, she was speechless for a moment.
There is also some slander.
Could it be that... Is it so called resisting temptation like some hateful little man
Girl A across from me suddenly said, "Are you slandering your boss?"
Maria was startled and quickly denied: "I didn't."
Girl A didn't pursue anything, but said quietly: "If you stand in the boss's current position, you know that he has done a good enough job, without getting lost, without collapse, without infinite expansion, without doing whatever he wants. This is already a miracle for the king of wealth who has unlimited demands for the world.”
After hearing what Girl A said, Maria thought for a moment and couldn't help but remain silent.
Still a little worried.
Perhaps it would be better to let your children be more ordinary in the future.
"Are you thinking that it might be better for your child to remain an ordinary person than the boss's arrangement?"
Maria was startled again and didn't know how to answer.
Is this woman a goblin who can read minds
Girl A quickly added: "Actually, you can do this. Talk to your boss later, and he will satisfy you and send your three children back to Ukraine to study, work, marry, have children, and live an ordinary life. . Of course, you definitely can’t go back, because you have been occupied by the boss. See, this is the privilege of the extraordinary. Moreover, maybe in the future your children will not recognize your arrangements for their lives, unless they are in your heart. If you are strong enough, no one will be willing to live an ordinary life, and when a person's heart is strong enough, in fact, this person cannot be regarded as ordinary."
Maria paused and finally couldn't help but said: "I think there is something wrong with your outlook on life."
"Of course not, it's just that most ordinary people have been brainwashed by the so-called universal outlook on life set by the upper levels of the pyramid since childhood. After all, the upper levels of the pyramid cannot accommodate too many people. Therefore, they hope that you will settle down at the bottom, just like the United States, which is most commonly advocated It is a puritanical middle-class outlook on life that is loyal to family and loves work. This is the perfect picture that people most often see in American film and television works. Most ordinary Americans have also been subtly influenced to think that this is a pretty perfect life state. The middle class, on the other hand, is the most ideal base of the pyramid that possesses relatively few social resources, has a large capacity, and can give the bottom few people a goal to strive for without threatening the upper elite class.”
After hearing what Girl A said, Maria felt that her outlook on life was a little loose, and she subconsciously retorted: "What's the use of all of this? All of us will end up with the same ending."
After hearing this, Girl A finally raised her head and glanced at her again, with an inexplicable smile on her lips: "This is a very typical fatalism of mediocrity, self-comfort caused by incompetence. However, in the same decades, some people Vigorous and prosperous, some people are doing nothing and going through vicissitudes, and even a large number of the latter can only become some inconspicuous adjustments and embellishments in the bustling picture of the former. How can it be the same? You must know that the meaning of life lies more in the process, not the result. . Moreover, even the endings are actually different for different people."
Maria finally realized that she couldn't argue with the girl opposite, so she simply stopped talking, took a sip of the coffee in front of her, and looked out the window again at the court. The young man had already started playing ball with his children, and those gorgeous female players The children stood far away.
Slightly relieved.
However, what Girl A just said was not Feng Guo Wuhen. After a while, she finally couldn't help it and asked again: "Why are you saying this to me?"
"It's very simple." Girl A seemed to be waiting for her to ask, still with a smile on her face: "The boss is brainwashing your little guys outside, and I am here to brainwash you. After all, you are about to become the boss's child. Mother, you must have a new outlook on life."
“…”
The other side.
On the court, Simon is indeed changing the three boys' outlook on life. But compared to Girl A’s directness, Simon is much gentler.
Speaking of which, Simon has always paid special attention to the children of the women around him. Of course, this refers to the women Simon cares about, not the mothers and daughters who are treated or raised like playthings.
There are certain boundaries that Simon will never cross for the women he cares about, and he even treats the children of these women as his own to some extent, just like Sofia's children Daniel and Gemma. This is actually a subconscious behavior that started very early on.
As for the reason, we also have to talk about Simon's genetic instinct theory.
Continuation.
Just like what is said in a certain book, a fish that lands on the beach is no longer a fish. By extension, the children who are subtly cultivated by Simon to become 'Westerosian' will naturally instinctively side with the Westeros family in the future. Although this is not absolute, and there may even be a few counterproductive, most of them will basically be like this.
These special 'Westerosians' will become direct descendants of the Westeros family in the future.
After all, it is difficult to support a single tree, but only ten thousand trees can form a forest.
Just like Daniel and Gemma, just like the three boys around them at this time, there is a high chance that they will become the help of their biological children in the future, and even better continue the Westeros family.
After several hot female caddies introduced the rules of golf to the three boys, Simon sent them away. The four of them randomly divided into two groups and started playing. While smiling, he asked the oldest Victor: "I have a girlfriend." ?"
Victor, whose face was slightly red after being teased by the female caddy who was just coaching him, shook his head: "Not yet."
Simon hit a ball at random, looked at the boy's expression, and said tentatively: "It looks like he has a sweetheart."
Victor didn't answer and followed the ball awkwardly.
Seeing that Anton was hesitant to speak, Simon asked with a smile: "Tell me, what girl does your brother have his eye on?"
"One of them in their class," Anton glanced at his brother and saw that he had no obvious objection, then continued: "But, well, she is the school cheerleader, so she must look down on Vic."
Both groups teed off, and the four of them walked towards the landing point not far away. Simon motioned to the female caddy who was not far away: "How do you compare with them?"
Simon asked while looking at Victor. The boy was slightly shy and did not answer. Anton responded for his brother again, and couldn't help but glance at the older sisters not far away, and said: "They are all beautiful, but Madeleine, it seems... my family runs a company and is very rich, and she also Very proud.”
Simon had a smile on his face: "If you like it, go for it. If you pursue a proud girl, you will have a greater sense of accomplishment."
Constantine glanced at his older brother and younger brother, hesitated a little, and said to Simon: "I don't like that girl, she has a boyfriend, and last time in the restaurant, I heard her laughing at Anton's accent."
Simon found the ball he had just hit and personally guided Anton to hit the ball. The smile on his face remained unchanged, but he felt a little emotional in his heart. The three boys were not simple. Less than a month after moving to the United States, the eldest had a girl he liked. The second and third children unknowingly figured out the general situation of the girl, and even captured some private information.
Maria, as a mother, probably doesn't know these character traits very well.
Simon had already seen it in the information in the morning, including Victor at this time, who was also pretending to be shy.
Of course, Simon actually appreciates this kind of cleverness and precocity.
Simon doesn't like children who are still ignorant when they enter middle school. At this age, you need to know what you need to know. Early maturity is actually an advantage. As for childhood, although many people will regret the lack of childhood when they grow up, but In fact, childhood ignorance is essentially just a waste of time.
Life is short, so don't waste it if you can.
In addition, being able to say this to myself also proves that the three boys' minds are still shallow, and that they have probably subconsciously accepted some of his identities.
After Anton hit a ball, everyone continued to move. Simon said to Constantine: "You know, most successful people don't care too much about the ridicule or even insults from outsiders. As long as you are strong enough, other people's Any evaluation is not worth mentioning. Lions will not care about the provocations of mice. If you care too much about these in your life, it will be a kind of imprisonment for yourself."
The three boys listened to what Simon said together. Although they thought it made sense, they were young after all. The most important thing was that the three boys at this time could not have Simon's strong mentality.
Simon also quickly noticed this and said again: "In this way, maybe this weekend, you can have a party at home, and I will ask someone to arrange it. In fact, people's hearts are very simple, and now, the boys and girls on campus, your hearts are Your fundamental reliance is nothing more than your own academic performance, sports ability and the family behind you. In these aspects, I believe you can do your best. As for your family, I can help you do your best, so good that they can only Look up, when the time comes, neither ethnicity nor accent will be a problem anymore.”
When Simon said this, the two younger children were looking forward to it. Victor, however, hesitated a little and finally asked: "Simon, you... and my mother?"
The boy was a little embarrassed to ask so bluntly, and the two younger ones looked at Simon evasively.
When Simon saw Victor asking, he did not hesitate and nodded: "It's what you think. Moreover, you will have a younger brother or sister next. As an older brother, I hope you can take good care of him or her in the future." .”
The three boys' eyes widened for a moment, speechless in shock.
They are very smart. They actually know everything they should know and can think of almost everything they should think of. After all, it is impossible for their family to immigrate to the United States without any reason. This is a wish that many people pursue but cannot realize. What's more, they not only When he arrived in the United States, he lived in a large manor in a wealthy area in the western suburbs of Boston. He also had direct access to an Ivy League prep school in the West End.
The three boys quietly inquired about the so-called Ivy League Preparatory School, which is basically a private school for children of the privileged class in the United States. Entering such a middle school is equivalent to locking in the admission quota of the eight major Ivy League schools in the United States in advance.
For a school like this, if they were just ordinary children of Ukrainian immigrants, not to mention others, they might not even be able to afford the annual tuition fees of up to 40,000 US dollars.
Speaking of which, when they were still in Ukraine, the three boys had already heard some private rumors. After all, it was impossible for their parents to divorce suddenly for nothing.
I suddenly met Simon Westeros today and heard him directly admit it, which is a complete confirmation.
Moreover, because the name Simon Westeros is too prominent, deep down in their hearts, the three boys felt some recognition rather than instinctive resistance.
Unexpectedly, Simon's words once again left the three boys at a loss.
They will have a little brother or sister!
is this real? !
Simon gave the three boys some buffer time before continuing: "So, I am actually acting as your stepfather now. Of course, I cannot marry your mother, but I have the responsibilities that I should have, including taking care of you. You will all take responsibility. Maybe the title stepfather makes you feel uncomfortable, so how about you think of me as your godfather, just like in Coppola's movies?"
The three boys listened to what Simon said and stayed for a while. Victor finally spoke first, looked at Simon and said seriously: "Simon, you have to promise that you will take good care of my mother."
"Of course, I promise."
Then the three boys looked at each other a few more times, and then looked at Simon together. They didn't speak, but they reached some tacit understanding.
Simon smiled and indicated that Constantine could play ball. He changed the topic and asked, "By the way, have you all seen Coppola's "The Godfather"?"
The three boys shook their heads together.
Simon said: "Then don't read it, it won't do you any good. I mean, you have to understand one thing. You are now on a higher social level. Maybe some rumors will make you think about gangsters." They feel excited and ready to take action, but in essence, they are just fighting and struggling at the bottom of society. With the resources we can use, if necessary, we can completely make them lose their ability to struggle at any time."
