The middle-aged man who is now nearly fifty years old talks about what happened four years ago with emotion and even some indescribable surprise. Perhaps it is even almost certain that everything today started about four years ago, including where he is at this time.
This made the middle-aged people a little more vigilant about today's meeting.
Even though he maintained respect for Yeltsin and signed an amnesty order to protect the Yeltsin family, he never intended to be like Yeltsin.
Simon also remembered this incident. On the eve of the 1996 Russian election, he secretly met with Yeltsin's second daughter for the first time in St. Petersburg, and indeed agreed on everything today. I wiped the face of the little girl in my arms that no longer shed tears, and I could feel the friendly feeling of the middle-aged man next to me when he mentioned this old incident, and I could also feel the inevitable vigilance of the other party.
After a moment of consideration, Simon smiled, turned the little girl to the middle-aged man, and asked softly: "Nina, what do you think of this gentleman?"
The girl didn't know why, so she turned her head, leaned her head towards Simon's ear, and said quietly but inevitably being heard: "Dad, I know, he is the new president of Russia."
Simon also lowered his voice and whispered to the girl: "The president is very powerful, right?"
The girl nodded, but quickly added: "But, he is a very good person." Xiao Nizi said this, and then paused. She couldn't think of how to describe the other person as being very good, but she did think that the other person was very good.
Simon could understand. The middle-aged man next to him once met with George W. Bush for the first time. It only took a few minutes to win over the US president. So much so that at the press conference after the two met, Bush Jr. publicly claimed, "I saw it." His soul', translated into Chinese is, 'our hearts are connected'.
At that time, Russia and the United States were still in a stalemate over the Kosovo war. When George W. Bush spoke, not to mention someone at the press conference who showed an obviously surprised expression, the Western media was in an uproar: You have a heart-to-heart with the enemy of the United States. What are you doing? Want to go to heaven
In the end, this meme was ridiculed by the media for eight years, and once again became evidence to prove that Bush's IQ is not high.
As for why someone can make George W. Bush have a "telepathic connection" in a short period of time, you can understand it if you think about the identity of the other person. Interpersonal skills, to ordinary people, are called emotional intelligence. To someone, that's called a professional skill.
In the reception room.
Since Xiao Nizi felt good about the middle-aged man, Simon continued and said, "How about, Nina, let him be your godfather?"
Simon's words came out, but the girl still hadn't responded. The middle-aged man was so surprised again that he couldn't hide his expression.
Of course, they had done some research in advance. The middle-aged man knew about the relationship between the mother and daughter in the villa and Simon. Although the little girl in front of him called someone 'dad', she was not his biological child. However, Westeros does seem to treat the girl as his own daughter.
Now, what would happen if this child suddenly recognized himself as his godfather
court
The middle-aged people feel that it seems unnecessary. Or, if we talk about showing kindness, it is him who should show kindness. Both Russia and himself have a lot of hopes for this young tycoon.
Win over
Let him completely become a puppet of the Westeros system
If it's just such a small trick, Westeros would be a little too naive.
Of course, the little girl next to Simon didn't understand the reason for her father's suggestion. However, the girl did not forget her mother's countless teachings. What's more, she felt really close to the gentleman next to her, so she quickly and gently He nodded his head, glanced at the other person subconsciously, turned back, and leaned into Simon's ear again: "But, dad, will this gentleman agree?"
The girl's voice still couldn't be suppressed. Simon looked aside. The middle-aged man also had a good impression of this straightforward little girl. Even though he was somewhat hesitant in his heart, he quickly made a decision and said with a smile: "Of course, this is My pleasure."
Western godfathers and godmothers often make verbal agreements. Of course, most of them are agreed before the child's baptism.
However, when the matter was settled, Xiao Nizi immediately turned to Simon with an expectant expression: "Dad, what next?"
Obviously I think there is some process.
Simon smiled and said, "Next, you can make an appointment with Vladimir to go to church together."
The girl immediately nodded again.
Simon became interested and added: "However, according to the rules of the Orientals, this is still the case."
As he spoke, he leaned into the girl's ear and whispered a few words. Of course, it wasn't too mysterious.
After hearing what Simon said, the girl glanced at the surprised middle-aged man next to her, felt herself being pushed, and walked to the coffee table obediently, selected an empty cup from the tray, and carefully picked up the coffee pot. Pour the coffee and walk in front of the middle-aged man. With a serious piety on his delicate little face like a doll, he gently kneels down with the coffee, puts the cup up, and calls out in a crisp voice: "Godfather."
The middle-aged man also heard Simon's whisper. He felt a little strange at first, but seeing the pious look of the little man kneeling in front of him, he immediately calmed down his expression, stood upright, and took the coffee handed by the little man. Take a sip. After a little hesitation, without any reminder from Simon, he learned it without any teacher. He put the cup next to him, took off a cross from his neck, put it on the little girl, and said softly: "This is what my mother left for me, son, give it to me." Here it is, it will bring you good luck.”
"Thank you, Godfather."
The girl said, seeing the middle-aged man trying to pull her up, she glanced to the side again, and got Simon's nod before standing up.
When the girl came over, Simon patted Xiao Nizi on the head: "Okay, let's go out. Vladimir and I still have something to discuss. In addition, you must cherish the gift, do you understand?"
The girl nodded immediately, actually wanting to stay here, but remembering her mother's angry look just now, knowing it was inappropriate, she reluctantly left.
When Xiao Nizi went out, Simon picked up the coffee on the coffee table in front of him and took a sip. Seeing the silent look of the middle-aged man next to him, he smiled and said, "Still wondering why?"
The middle-aged man did not deny it and nodded.
Simon still smiled and said: "The matter is actually not complicated at all. Vladimir, this child is not my biological child. However, I like her mother very much, and she has regarded me as her father since she was very young. I Just take on this responsibility. Since you are a father, of course you have to give your daughter the best things. For example, while having the richest father in the world, you also have the most powerful man in the world, huh, at least ' One', as godfather. Makes her more of a princess than any princess of any existing royal family on the planet. That's all."
After listening to Simon's words, the middle-aged man showed a relaxed smile similar to his, with some assurance: "Simon, I will assume the responsibility of a qualified godfather."
Simon took another sip of coffee, put down the cup, and said, "Then, let's talk about something serious."
The middle-aged man immediately calmed down his expression slightly.
It can be judged that this young tycoon is very concerned about the dominance when interacting with others. There are no substantive issues involved yet, so he takes the initiative to cooperate with the other party's dominance. In addition, it can also be concluded that in this meeting, he does not need to be too probing. The young tycoon should be able to give many answers on his own initiative due to his strong self-confidence and some kind of honesty.
