Simon's estate was located in the district of Andtino, south of Rome.
Different from the dense residential communities in other areas of Rome, the Andtino district, which is only five kilometers away from the center of Rome, has a very low residential density and has many historical sites and city parks. It also has golf courses, equestrian schools and other supporting facilities nearby. A typical area where rich people gather.
In such a prime location, it is not easy to circle a 30-acre estate, which is equivalent to about 12 hectares.
Sofia, who bought properties for Simon in Europe, spent a lot of money to buy three properties, and then she built a roughly quadrilateral manor. The four sides of the manor were low stone walls of about three to four hundred meters, the kind to guard against gentlemen but not villains. , of course, if a 'villain' wants to climb over the wall, the strict security system will immediately notify the manor security and the regional police station.
The re-planned main building of the manor is a castle in the French classical style. It is said that it was built by an Italian nobleman to cater to the preferences of his French wife. The castle has three floors, white walls and a blue roof, with a concave character facing south. The layout is somewhat similar to the Palace of Versailles, but the scale is naturally much smaller than the other, covering an area of about 3,000 square meters.
In the morning, if anyone could enter the manor, they would find girls wearing dark blue uniforms similar to OL style and Western private schools scattered around the castle and inside and outside the manor. The reason why it is regarded as a school uniform is because the girls are all quite young, with simple ponytails and plain faces. They also wear simple flat shoes on their feet and gloves on their hands. At this time, they are just like a group of snail girls. Under the leadership of the manor maid, they are busy with various tasks, such as mowing lawns, cleaning flower beds, cleaning rooms, etc.
The time is already Thursday, February 2nd.
Simon arrived in Rome on the third day.
There is no special schedule here, so it is completely regarded as a short vacation to take a break from the busy schedule, mainly to spend a few days with Sophia.
The young girls scattered throughout the manor are the seeds of the Wei family maids that Simon collected from all over Eastern Europe the year before last and carefully cultivated them.
During this year, a lot of things happened in the Westeros system, and various things also happened around these girls. The most intuitive point is that there were two initial batches of 200 girls from Eastern Europe and Latin America. Until now, there are only 163 girls left in total, and the others have been eliminated due to various reasons.
Moreover, originally in Europe, there were a group of ten girls in each city, distributed in London, Paris, Milan and so on.
In Rome at this time, there were two groups.
The main reason is that the two groups of girls originally placed in France were evacuated to Rome and Milan in Italy. The reason was the discord between Simon and the French government.
Although only a group of girls in London were publicly exposed at the beginning and were live broadcast for a month, in fact, other girls scattered across Europe have received various attention and excavations, but most of them Suppressed under the operation of the Westeros system.
Except France.
There are still various small actions going on.
Today, child protection organizations investigate the living conditions of the girls. Tomorrow, the Paris police receive reports of suspected child labor. When the girls' princess-like living conditions are exposed by French tabloids, some people begin to appear from time to time. Local girls Protested in front of the apartment, believing that Simon was a serious waste of social resources that could be given to other children.
Things got even more lively when some girls were eliminated for various reasons.
The parents of the eliminated girls, with the support of certain people, filed a lawsuit against Simon, demanding huge compensation, and also tried to throw dirty water on Simon. Fortunately, various situations have been considered beforehand, and the contract signed by the powerful legal team of the Westeros family and the girls naturally does not have any loopholes. After all, it is a farce that will not end.
After a lot of fussing, Simon simply asked the two groups of girls in Paris and Cannes to move to Rome and Milan in Italy.
Now, the two groups of girls in Rome have a total of 15 girls left, which can be regarded as the two groups with a slightly higher than average elimination rate.
Today's cleaning of the manor is regarded as the girls' weekly 'social practice' course.
Since they were originally intended to be trained as waitresses, the girls' daily lessons also included how to take care of Simon's properties everywhere. The accusations of illegal child labor in France were triggered by the girls' regular weekly maintenance on Simon's estate in the western suburbs of Paris.
Although Simon's thoughts on these girls gradually changed, the relevant curriculum did not change.
A lively party was held at the manor last night, inviting wealthy politicians and celebrities from all walks of life in Italy who are related to the Westeros system, including the Gucci family, the Bulgari family, the Agnelli family, the richest man in Italy, and the Westeros system. Among the top business executives in Italy, Silvio Berlusconi who still managed to remain as prime minister despite various scandals, the famous Italian director Giuseppe Tornatore, etc.
Sophia took the initiative to arrange the communication.
No matter how you look at it, women are definitely excellent housewives.
To maintain relationships between people, direct communication with each other is essential.
Although Italy is a democratic country on the surface, the social classes are actually very clear and solid. Both power and wealth are in the hands of a relatively fixed number of people. This is actually why Italy's corruption index has been scarlet for a long time in a generally green Europe. .
As long as Simon takes care of the people he invited last night, he will basically take care of Italy.
Taking into account last year's Stefano family incident that shocked the Italian underground world and Simon's secret layout in related aspects, he has no problem walking sideways in this country now.
This is why the girls were invited to this manor today.
If it were the property in the western suburbs of Paris, Simon would definitely not do this, because someone would definitely use it as a handle. Even if nothing happened when he was getting along with the girls, it would inevitably cause trouble. After all, the age of the girls is determined. The oldest is only 15 years old this year, and the youngest is only 11 years old.
On a balcony on the third floor of the west wing of the castle.
Simon and Sofia sat opposite each other at a simple round table, drinking coffee and enjoying the warm morning sunshine of the Mediterranean. At the same time, they could see the figures of girls scattered everywhere outside the manor.
After chatting with Simon for a while about some gossip about the quarrel between husband and wife in the Gucci family, Sofia, with a lazy posture, pointed to a girl who was building a green tree under the leadership of a waitress next to a flower bed downstairs: "That, Carmen Keith, is just lying about her age. That one."
Simon held the coffee cup, looked over with a smile, and nodded: "In 1978, he is 17 years old."
When selecting girls at the end of last year, Simon set an age standard of 10 to 14 years old.
In the information submitted by Carmen Keys, who was once the "card god" in the fashion industry, her age was actually 13 years old when she was originally 16 years old. This little trick could not escape the strict scrutiny of the Westeros system team, but after being discovered by Simon, it was kept as usual with a certain collection mentality.
Speaking of which, although more than 30 girls were eliminated in the past year, the 11 girls deliberately selected by Simon were all retained intact. Because they are special cases, these girls are inevitably inferior to those girls selected according to strict standards in all aspects.
However, if you think about it this way, in the future, outstanding girls will be able to fly as high as the sky according to Simon's wishes, while those who are not outstanding enough will just happen to stay around as waitresses in the end.
In the future, the waitresses around me will be replaced by Natalie Vodianova, Eugenia Volodina, Carmen Keys, Gisele Bundchen, Alessandro Ambrosio, Anya Luby But, Adriana Lima, etc., people in this time and space will definitely not see it as special. For Simon, the luxurious lineup is a breakthrough.
As for the fact that the fashion world will no longer have 'Ka Shen', 'Ji Niang Niang', 'Mr. An', 'Queen Eugene', and 'Fruit Nana', it is no longer within the scope of Simon's consideration.
In fact, due to the early rise of the Victoria's Secret show, a group of old and new supermodels in the fashion industry have firmly occupied the top position of the pyramid in this field in recent years. Supermodels such as Qu Si Gauff are only in their early twenties at the moment. Model, relying on the Victoria's Secret platform, career life can easily be maintained for more than ten years.
The resources at the top of the fashion industry pyramid are occupied in advance, which will inevitably lead to the loss of opportunities for a group of supermodels who should have emerged around the new millennium.
Unless Simon personally intervenes to support them, otherwise, according to the current development pattern of the fashion industry, it will be difficult for the former supermodels such as "Ji Niang Niang" and "Ka Shen" to succeed under the monopoly of resources by a group of established celebrities.
Working as a maid for Simon is also a good way out.
Simon never treats the girls around him badly.
On the terrace, Sophia glanced at Simon and asked meaningfully: "Do you think she knows that we actually know that she lied about her age?"
Simon realized that Sophia had probably discovered something that Janet had seen through, and said with a smile: "You should know, they are all smart."
Sofia searched again, but did not find another target. It should be in the castle, so she said: "Actually, there is another Anya, Anya Rubik. I think she is also a little special."
There are five 'special' girls on the European side.
Natalie Vodianova and Eugenia Volodina in London, Carolina Kukova in Berlin, and Carmen Keys who was supposed to be in Paris and moved to Rome at this time , and finally Anya Rubico, who was already in Rome. The five girls were once called 'Fruit Nana', 'Queen Eugene', 'Big KK', 'Kashen' and 'Mr. An'.
Janet also easily picked out all the special girls among these girls at the beginning. The equally smart Sophia pointed it out at this time. Simon was not surprised at all and said with a smile: "You said special, it must be a little special."
Seeing Simon's noncommittal, Sofia became more interested. She pressed the summoner on the round table. A waitress appeared quickly. Sofia pointed downstairs and ordered: "Bring Carmen here."
The waitress didn't ask any more questions, she responded softly and turned around to leave.
Sofia took a sip of the coffee and looked at Simon again, but unfortunately the man still didn't feel any strange.
A moment later, a tall and thin girl walked through the living room on the third floor and appeared on the terrace. She greeted the two of them politely: "Mr. Westeros, Ms. Feisi."
Simon turned his head and looked over.
The 17-year-old Carmen Keith already looks exactly as she remembered, with a height of nearly 180cm, a soft face common to Eastern European girls, short mouth corners, green eyes, and a tall and thin figure, but not like the morbid beauty of some girls in the fashion industry. , on the contrary, there is a healthy atmosphere all over the body.
Or because of the rise of the Victoria's Secret show, the fashion industry has entered the era of health and beauty ahead of schedule.
The morbid beauty trend that was supposed to be led by Kate Moss in recent years has not appeared. Kate Moss is still only a barely famous model because her figure and appearance are not comparable to those of the Victoria's Secret Angels. , unable to appear on the Victoria's Secret T stage, coupled with the carving up of fashion resources by the Victoria's Secret Army, this alternative supermodel who once relied on unremarkable personal conditions to suddenly emerge has no chance to stand out.
Sofia also looked at the girl in front of her seriously for a moment. She had probably quietly observed her many times, so naturally she couldn't tell anything more, so she suddenly and directly asked: "How old are you this year?"
Carmen Case was stunned for a moment, with some nervousness and guilt flashing across her expression. She quickly glanced at Simon, hesitated briefly, and quickly said: "17 years old, Ms. Fessy, I am 17 years old."
Sophia's lips curled up: "Why did you admit it voluntarily?"
Realizing that neither of the two people in front of her looked angry at all, Sofia's tone even revealed a hint of knowing the truth. Carmen Case quickly lost her nervousness, but still instinctively made some embarrassed expressions. , said: "I didn't expect that I would be selected."
This is true.
When I first read about recruitment revelations in the newspaper, this girl who grew up in a small town in Estonia, a small country in Eastern Europe, submitted her resume with the mentality of not trying out. Later, she discovered that the screening process was extremely strict, and she learned that A certain truth, I thought that I would be easily dismissed for making a serious mistake like falsely reporting my age, but I didn’t expect that I passed the test and became one of the last 200 lucky ones.
A girl is not ignorant of the world.
A few years ago, Estonia had just emerged from the Soviet Union. Many people in this small Eastern European country tried to find opportunities in the prosperous Western Europe. Carmen Keys, who was only 13 years old, went to Milan alone against her mother's wishes and wanted to pursue a career in modeling. Unfortunately, I was too young at the time and soon returned to Estonia.
Then, there was this opportunity at the end of last year.
Carmen Case, like other girls, has no regrets about not being able to become a model but becoming a maid of the Westeros family, especially after seeing the achievements of the girls like ABCD and others around Simon Westeros.
As for Carmen Kess, all the girl wanted in her heart was to leave Estonia and make a difference.
How to get ahead doesn’t matter.
Seeing the girl's generous appearance, Sofia felt some affection in her heart, but she couldn't help but joke. She gestured to the side and said, "Actually, it's because Simon has fallen in love with you. What do you think?"
Carmen Keith's expression was a little surprised. She quickly glanced at a certain man again, quickly lowered her eyes, and her face flushed unconsciously: "This, this is my honor."
Even though she is older than the other girls, under the quiet influence of the training team and various courses in the past year, Carmen Keith still cannot get rid of the subtle brainwashing. All these girls have unknowingly been planted with antipathy in their bones. No matter how you look at Simon's adoration seeds, Simon is completely worthy of the worship of these girls, so those arrangements have achieved the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
When Sophia heard what the girl said and saw the man beside her laughing so obscenely, she immediately realized that she was digging a hole for herself again, and quickly said: "Okay, you go and do your work first."
Seeing that Sophia had no follow-up after she finished speaking, Carmen Keith finally glanced at Simon secretly, then greeted her respectfully and turned to leave.
When the girl left and saw Sophia looking over in a menacing manner, Simon shrugged slightly and said with a smile: "I can't help it. Sometimes I think about it, and I can't help but admire myself. There is such an amazing and talented man in the world, tsk tsk."
Sofia couldn't bear it any longer. She rolled her eyes and made a gesture of wanting to vomit. She also reached out and grabbed the summoner on the round table and threw it towards Simon.
