I thought I was going to be questioned by the army, or... However, there was actually nothing.
A certain big shot just chatted with her for a few words and then asked the housekeeper to take her to rest in a very luxurious and comfortable room. Even now, she is not short of money at all and enjoys a good life on weekdays. In fact, Still not used to it, couldn't sleep all night.
He even had random thoughts.
What if, late at night, well, it was already late at night, or during the middle of the night, the door was suddenly opened, would she have to completely obey, or would she have to struggle a little
In the end, it turned out to be a wild idea.
Deep down, she inevitably felt a little inferior. Obviously, the big shot didn't like her at all.
It's obvious.
Until daybreak, I simply got up, washed briefly, and continued to stay in this very spacious bedroom, practicing silently with my bare feet.
seven o 'clock.
Someone knocked on the door, and then he agreed to leave the bedroom.
She was led by a waitress to a small restaurant. The man was already sitting at the table and motioned for her to sit opposite. She was a little restrained and inexplicably flattered. After all, none of the beautiful girls I saw last night showed up.
Simon watched the girl opposite sit down and motioned for her to order food from the waitress next to him. He said it was casual and gave some instructions. When the waitress left, he smiled and said in Chinese: "Staying in bed until now?"
Cao Minyuan could feel the man's casual tone, but she straightened her back subconsciously, shook her head and said, "No, I got up early, and I'm practicing in the room."
"Oh, actually there is a gym here," Simon said, becoming more interested: "By the way, you have seen the female guards on my side last night. What are your chances of winning against them?"
Cao Minyuan thought of the two tall girls she saw last night, paused, and said, "They should be better at using guns, but they may not be good at fighting."
I quietly observed them at that time, out of instinctive vigilance. The two men had calluses on their hands from long-term practice of holding guns, and one of them was left-handed, but there were not many traces of fighting.
Simon nodded and asked again: "Then, what guns do they use?"
Cao Minyuan hesitated for a moment, and said with some confidence in her honesty: "If the distance is not far, they will lose."
"It's so shameless," Simon said, pushing a newspaper at his hand over: "Look at your pioneering work."
Cao Minyuan pulled the newspaper over. She didn't even need to read the English words that made her dizzy. Just the photo of a man and a woman on the cover, she knew it must have happened last night.
Distinguish the content carefully.
Texaco executive and his wife were attacked and killed, the cause is doubtful!
Cao Minyuan roughly translated the title and suddenly became a little nervous. She had clearly set up a robbery scene, so how could someone see through it at a glance
It is indeed the United States!
Simon noticed the expression on the girl opposite him, continued to eat, and asked with a smile: "How do you feel?"
Cao Minyuan was silent for a moment and whispered: "I...if I am discovered, I will bear the responsibility alone, Mr. Westeros. I just hope that my brother will not be implicated."
Just as the waitress brought breakfast in, the call was paused for a moment. When the other party left, Simon said: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. This is the New York Post. It's the kind of gossip newspaper that always likes to use similar headlines to attract attention. . You did it so simply, except for me as a bystander, even if they find something abnormal, they can't catch you."
I immediately relaxed a little.
Picking up the cutlery and carefully cutting a piece of steak on the plate in front of her, after a quiet moment, Cao Minyuan finally couldn't help but said, "Mr. Westeros, since you knew it from the beginning, why, why didn't you stop me?" Woolen cloth?"
Even though she has experienced too many things over the years and there is no turning back, she actually still feels that she is not an extreme person.
It's just that too often, there is no choice.
However, this time... If this big shot helped and let those who bullied her brother get the punishment they deserve, she would not do such a thing.
When Simon heard this question, he didn't think about it and said casually: "Because I am a bad guy. In movies or novels, I am the standard villain."
Cao Minyuan did not expect this answer and was obviously surprised.
this…
Although I feel privately that some high-ranking figures will definitely be on a lower level than her when they go to hell in the future. However, subconsciously, she could not help but feel that the person in front of her might be a good person. At least, at least for her... it wasn't bad.
Anyway, it's really rare for someone to be honest about being a bad person.
Even she herself, deep down in her heart, never wanted to be a bad person.
Simon cut a piece of lamb chop and turned it into his mouth. He looked at the girl opposite who was silent again. After a moment, he smiled and said: "The situation is quite interesting now."
Cao Minyuan came to her senses: "Huh?"
Simon said: "What you are doing is very much like the origin of a comic story."
Cao Minyuan still looked puzzled.
Simon was helpless, this feeling of being thrown out and unable to be held by the other side was very bad, so he could only say: "Batman, do you understand?"
Cao Minyuan nodded.
Immediately I understood, because I had also watched the Batman movie in private, and coincidentally, the man opposite had filmed it himself. That Batman, well, his parents were robbed and killed, and then he became a superhero.
However, he quickly straightened it out and shook his head: "No, that... is not a good person, otherwise I wouldn't do this."
Simon knew that the girl opposite was referring to the unlucky son of the unlucky couple.
In order to avoid suspicion, there was not much investigation here, but Simon also knew the cause and effect. Thinking about it, the probability that a bad boy who likes to show off his power and bully others in school would turn into a superhero is really low.
Put this aside and look at the girl opposite.
Simon suddenly understood that it would be difficult to have a pleasant chat this breakfast, and the person opposite was not good at it at all.
So I no longer forced myself.
After breakfast, the housekeeper appeared and said that the plane had been arranged. Simon would personally take Cao Minyuan out. There was already a car waiting, and he would take her directly to the airport, and then take a private plane arranged here to return to Asia.
As she was about to leave, standing in front of the car, Cao Minyuan turned to look at a certain man and wanted to speak, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Simon took the initiative and said, "Confused, why did I pick you up?"
Cao Minyuan nodded.
Simon said: "Because I like people with your personality. In this world, if you are bullied, you have to resist. It's that simple."
The man said it simply, but Cao Minyuan suddenly felt a sore nose.
Can't tell why.
Probably, after all these years, someone finally understands her feelings.
Actually... it's that simple.
Seeing that the girl opposite didn't know how to express herself again, Simon smiled and said, "Okay, let's go. Actually, I'm still a little dissatisfied. The woman last night was quite beautiful and had two children, but she was You killed me. It would have been nice if you had said hello and let me come."
“…”
Cao Minyuan was confused, tried her best to look at the man in front of her, and then avoided it.
I probably knew deep down that it was obviously not a good thing to say.
He is indeed the villain.
Bad guy.
With this in mind, even though I heard him chasing people away, I couldn't help but say one more thing: "Mr. Westeros, I, I, I'm going back this time, do you have any instructions?"
"No, just help me."
"Well," she nodded, and wanted to turn around, but then she reacted and added: "Then, goodbye."
As he spoke, he raised his hand slightly and waved it.
Then I felt that my actions were so stupid and I would definitely be laughed at again.
However, just laugh. He is a big shot and she is a little shot. What does it matter if the big shot laughs at the little shot
After seeing off Dark Phoenix, Simon returned to the villa.
Of course I had my own schedule in the morning, but since today was Sunday, I didn't go out and directly arranged a meeting at the mansion.
So until nine o'clock.
Simon finished flipping through some of today's important newspapers and asked Girl A to help her collect information about the recently popular 'Core European Theory'. The guests arrived on time.
Henry Kissinger.
Henry Kissinger, who did not withdraw from the international political stage until many years later, is actually 77 years old this year.
This meeting was, of course, for the future layout of the Westeros system.
Simon hopes that Kissinger can serve as an advisor to the Westeros system on international affairs. Of course, considering that Kissinger is old after all, this time he mainly invites Kissinger to serve as a mentor to help the Westeros system cultivate some of its own talents. Political elites with private pockets are thinking about the long term.
Simon didn't like the fact that more than ten or twenty years later, the federal political elite would be replaced, leading to the absurd situation of two old men, both nearly eighty years old, vying for the position of president.
A very important reason for the collapse of the former Soviet Union was the inability of Moscow's top leadership to continue.
As for why someone was born out of nowhere later
Frankly speaking, this can only be regarded as Russia's luck, and it happens to be the reason why Yeltsin completely broke the rigid promotion rules of the former Soviet Union. In just a few years, he promoted a guy who almost became a black truck driver to a big position, even though Yeltsin had His strong selfishness finally did a good thing for his country.
Let’s talk about the United States.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, in the thirty years since then, the United States has had successive presidents, and the only one who can barely be considered a politician is Clinton. In the past eight years, although he has been stripped of his feathers due to various scandals, Clinton has made many outstanding long-term policies for his country, and has made considerable achievements in both domestic and foreign affairs.
And then, it’s hard to say anything.
Moreover, Simon also feels that the reason why Clinton was able to make achievements during his eight years in office is also because the outstanding political elites trained during the Cold War era in the United States are still active in the political arena. This is necessary to support a country in the right direction. an indispensable factor.
Kissinger is the most typical one.
Over the years, Simon has met the legendary politician several times on some occasions, but he has never had in-depth contact. Today is the first face-to-face communication without other people present.
A living room in a luxury villa.
After exchanging pleasantries, the two parties came to the reception room and sat down at the table and chairs next to the floor-to-ceiling windows. The view here was very good, and one could look across the lawn to the sea level in the distance.
The housekeeper personally brought tea, helped entertain them, and then left quietly.
When there were no other people around, Simon picked up the tea cup in front of him and gestured to the old man opposite. Kissinger tasted it with a smile and said with a smile: "I am from China. The tea I have drunk is the famous tea from the famous West Lake."
Simon also smiled: "Actually, I don't understand either, I just know that it is the best."
"Everyone's energy is limited, and there is no need to understand everything," Kissinger said, then smiled: "However, based on what I have seen and heard over the years, Simon, you know more than most people."
Simon smiled and accepted the compliment. The two put down their cups. He took the initiative to pick up the teapot and each added some more. He continued to find a topic: "Actually, I happened to be reading your article on the balance of power theory recently."
Kissinger looked surprised and asked, "What do you think?"
"It's very similar to another philosophical view from China that I know," Simon said, soaked some tea, and wrote two Chinese characters directly on the mahogany tea table: "Zhongyong, this is a very important theory of life in ancient China. The general idea is that in all things, we should not go to extremes, but should seek a harmonious state that is as balanced as possible."
"It's a good point of view, but it is still different from my balance of power theory."
Simon nodded in agreement.
Kissinger's balance of power theory was a strategic view during the Cold War, which mainly sought a certain balance in a fiercely competitive environment, while the golden mean is relatively broader and therefore covers a wider area.
Seeing Simon nod, Kissinger took a sip of tea again and said with a smile: "And, Simon, according to my observation, you may advocate, um, moderation, but you are not very capable of doing this. Man, there are too many elements in your character that are too strong, or, if you don’t mind, I think, a little extreme.”
Simon did not deny it and said: "This is determined by my current position, Henry. If you are in my position and want to keep everything you have now, you can only make a choice similar to mine."
Kissinger smiled and shook his head: "It's hard to say, Simon, because of everything you have now. Even if I noticed you ten years ago, I still can't imagine that the long history of mankind will not lack some generals." A legendary emperor who has expanded to several continents, but there has never been a truly wealthy businessman like you. Ha, I mean, from your current position, you have indeed done well enough, beyond imagination. .”
After chatting casually for a while, we finally got to the point.
In fact, there had been some communication in advance, and this time it was just the two speakers who finalized the matter in person.
Henry Kissinger's most important identity at the moment is that of the chairman of the Eisenhower Foundation. He just took office this year. As for this foundation, it is probably similar to a well-known National Endowment for Democracy, and its main purpose is to 'promote international exchanges'.
Simon's condition was to invest US$10 million per year in the future, part of which was Kissinger's salary and part of which was a donation to the Eisenhower Fund. In exchange, Kissinger, while serving as a political advisor to the Westeros system, will also bring out a group of students provided here every year in the next five years.
This money can be considered as killing two birds with one stone.
Not only does Kissinger lead students here, the donation to the Eisenhower Fund also happens to promote some 'international exchange' projects that are not convenient for the Westeros system to directly come forward.
