In the Hilton banquet hall, Grace Spurter and Simon chatted for a while. When she saw Claire Gein, the C girl who was about to come over, was stopped by a guest again, she stopped leaving and looked at Simon softly. Said: "Also, the girl you sent from Ukraine has very good qualifications, but her personality is really not well-behaved. Elite's business in Ukraine has been launched, how about helping you pick some and send them to you in Rif In Ni’s villa?”
Grace was talking about Lyudmila Besonoskova, the younger sister of a certain tall basketball girl from Ukraine, Eve Besonoskova.
Simon casually arranged a year of professional model training for the girl last year, and then handed it over to Grace.
This spring's fashion week will open on February 8th. A certain little elf with a rebellious personality has already prepared for her debut show in New York. She is currently living in the Upper West Side with Eve, who is accompanying her. In the dormitory apartment provided by the Luo family specifically for the female maids.
There are too many women around, so now it is difficult for any girl with any appearance or personality to attract Simon's special attention. Regarding Lyudmila's arrangement, it is just that Simon thinks that girl is very suitable to become a model, nothing more.
However, regarding Grace's thoughts, Simon did not refuse this time and nodded: "Okay, choose someone smarter."
Grace said: "Don't you think stupid women are actually easier to deal with? Smart women are usually not calm enough?"
"So you're restless too?"
"Yes," Grace looked at Simon and said half-truthfully, "I couldn't help but have the idea during dinner that I would give birth to your child and cheat some of the alimony."
Simon smiled and shook his head gently: "You don't have to have children. If you want alimony, I can give it to you."
"Like, the woman on East 92nd Street who just married some time ago?"
"Huh? Oh, you mean Laura, this is different."
Laura gralph.
If Grace didn't mention it, Simon would almost forget it.
After what happened at the beginning, the Gralf mother and daughter were separated, leaving only Laura Gralf still living in Manhattan. Because she was no longer interested in that woman and didn't want to cause trouble, she let her She found a new home to marry, and Simon generously gave her the villa on 92nd Street in the Upper East Side as a dowry, which was considered a settlement.
After hearing what Simon said, Grace didn't ask any more questions.
I remember what the man once said.
Now it seems that it is indeed different, very different.
In fact, suddenly mentioning this matter in front of him was just a small temptation on her part.
Confirmation really makes a difference.
Just like she couldn't help but send the company's models to him, just like she deliberately brought Bryce with her when she came back yesterday, just like she just mentioned helping him choose girls, just like last night was actually out of some weird reason He talked about Mitterrand's funeral with envy, just like he said nonsense last night, saying that he would find some beautiful girls to die for him.
In the final analysis, it is still the inner instinct of insecurity that is at play.
At this moment, I suddenly felt relieved.
It's always different.
How could a man treat her so poorly if he took such good care of even a plaything
Of course, one cannot expect more.
He also said that he likes smart women.
Smart women know what to do and what not to do.
Claire Gein, Chen Qing and Lin Su walked over together at this time, interrupting this weird interaction. Grace returned to being as if nothing had happened, greeted the three women, and walked away on her own initiative.
Women's intuition is always the sharpest.
Even though Grace concealed it well, the three girls C noticed the strangeness in the relationship between the Elite female boss and their boss. If there was nothing between the two of them, no one would believe it.
However, the three women cleverly did not mention it.
Everything that needs to be said has been discussed during the day. This time he just came to support Girl C. Simon had no intention of staying at the party for too long.
Claire came over and continued to chat about trivial matters and briefly exchanged greetings with some other important guests. Simon took Chen Qing and Lin Su to leave.
There was no return to the Fifth Avenue apartment.
Bryce has the temperament of a young lady, and Chen Qing is not someone who is willing to suffer. They will at least quarrel when they meet, so they have made arrangements in advance to go to East Hampton on Long Island tonight. On the banks of the East River, two black hawks customized by the Westeros family took off one after another to carry Simon and his party. They arrived at the easternmost tip of Long Island, 200 kilometers away, in about half an hour.
The housekeeper Angre has already led a group of maids to tidy up a manor near the sea here in advance.
Chen Qing was talking to Simon about the progress of the dancer selection of the Guofeng Art Troupe along the way. From the end of November last year to now, in two months, the selection team has received as many as 260,000 resumes, mainly from China. We are at a point of change in related fields.
Before the 1990s, China had a large number of cultural troupes, art troupes and other organizations at various departmental levels. As the country's reform continued to advance, these groups were also significantly eliminated. Even for the literary and art organizations that still exist, life is usually not very easy. The once iron rice bowl is no longer secure, and quick-thinking people begin to look for a way out.
It happened that the Guofeng Art Troupe started recruiting at this time.
The salary is 10 times that of ordinary literary and artistic workers, the work location is in a big city like Shanghai, and there are opportunities to perform abroad, which is simply a dream. In addition, this art troupe advertised directly in a certain major newspaper. Based on the credibility of a certain newspaper at this stage, this is definitely not fake.
Therefore, the past two months, in Chen Qing's words, have been like a chaotic dance of demons.
If the girl hadn't forcefully fired a group of selection team members who tried to play various tricks during the interview process, it's hard to say what would be selected in the end.
In any case, within two months and with sufficient budget support, the selection progress was very fast, and now there are only the last 1,000 candidate girls left.
Inside the Manor House in East Hampton.
When they came here, everyone sat down in a living room. Chen Qing opened a large suitcase that she brought this time. It was full of photos of the finalists: "Actually, the last 1,000 people are already outstanding. After all, they were selected from 260,000 people. Lin and I personally participated in some interviews and watched the audition videos of all the girls to ensure that no one would be cheating. So, boss, take a look and see if there is anyone you particularly like. Just finalize it.”
Chen Qing said, taking out a beautifully bound photo album from the suitcase and delivering it to the man.
Simon opened the large 16-fold photo album in front of him, and beautiful girls wearing uniform light green classical water-sleeved dance costumes appeared in front of him.
This was Chen Qing's customization based on the dance drawing of "Plucking Wei" that Simon gave her some time ago. The girl obviously put a lot of thought into it. There are four photos on each page of the photo album, and each girl has only one photo. They are randomly posing in dance poses on the carefully arranged stage. Whether they have learned to dance or what their dancing skills are can be seen even from these still photos.
Simon admired the girls selected according to the standards he set in the photo album page by page, and gradually understood a certain allusion of "I don't know the beauty of a wife".
They are basically carved from the same mold, with a slender waist, bare feet, oval face, graceful figure, and beautiful and classic temperament.
If you watch too much, you will inevitably become a little face-blind.
However, getting together in the future will definitely be a benefit for Simon, a tidy obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Chen Qing accompanied Simon as he turned the pages, and occasionally explained a few words. After looking at probably hundreds of girls, he continued: "Boss, you can actually pick more. Even if you get all 1,000 girls, it won't be a problem. And it's not a problem." , I still don’t think it’s necessary to give them such a high salary, even if the monthly salary of 2,000 RMB we advertise is actually very exaggerated in China.”
Simon imagined the scene of 1,000 girls dancing classical dance together, and quickly turned to the radio gymnastics. He shook his head and said: "Why do you need so many? 100 is enough. Let's continue screening. In addition, I have recently selected some There are exactly 100 names. From now on, they will call them this, um, like this, you can customize a batch of jade stones and make them into nameplates, one for each person."
Chen Qing was puzzled: "Name?"
Simon motioned to Girl A, who had just delivered coffee, to get a pen and write directly on the photo album in beautiful small letters.
Chen Qing quickly saw the names one by one.
They are all double characters.
Moreover, they all clearly come from the Book of Songs.
Guanju, Sancha, Yaoyao, Taoyao, Zijin, Shuili, Jianjia, Caiwei, Youhu, Qiyue, Yiren, Xiaowan, Fanshuang, Xiaoming, Caiping...
Lin Su, who was sitting quietly listening on the other side of Simon, saw the names appear one by one in the man's pen, and opened his mouth slightly unconsciously, not only because of the man's beautiful small script, but also because of these names, at least a large part of them, really …beautiful.
Simon wrote more than ten in a row, stopped writing, and said to Chen Qing: "A total of 100, and I will give you the complete list tomorrow."
Chen Qing nodded her head, not as reserved as Lin Su, and said with an admiring expression: "Boss, these names are great. It's a pity that you are not my father, otherwise I wouldn't have been called Chen Qing by such a common name."
Lin Su rolled her eyes slightly when she heard the obvious provocation in Chen Qing's words, so she couldn't help but criticize her. She stretched out her hand and pointed at the two words Simon wrote next to a girl in the album: "This, Xiao Ming, Is it also from the Book of Songs?"
Simon glanced at Lin Su: "Yes, in this case, you can take the time to recite the Book of Songs, and I will take the time to check it."
Lin Su was stunned for a moment.
hateful!
I just questioned him a little. Is it necessary to punish people like this
Chen Qing glanced at Lin Su's aggrieved look through Simon, and felt a little gloating about her misfortune, but she didn't dare to show it, otherwise she would definitely get burned.
However, Simon did not let her go. He turned around and asked, "What do you think of the name 'Xiao Ming'?"
Forehead…
how to say
Could it be that to tell the man next to her bluntly, this name was as old-fashioned as the 'Tom' and 'Lucy' in her English textbooks when she first came into contact with her... Well, I definitely couldn't say that.
Chen Qing was still organizing her words, but Simon continued: "In this case, you should recite the Book of Songs as well."
Chen Qing said pitifully: "Boss, I think this name is good. Well, it's great."
Simon said: "In this case, let's add..."
Before Simon could finish speaking, Chen Qing had already hugged his arm and started acting coquettishly: "Boss, I'll carry you!"
Chen Qing's arm was wrapped around her and shook, but Simon stopped. He smiled and stopped her from acting coquettishly. He took out a photo of a girl from the album and began to write the song "Wind into the Pine" by Yu Ji on it with a pen, while saying : ""The Book of Songs·Xiaoya·Xiaoming"", this is also a "returning poem", which advises people not to indulge in writing documents and waste time, just like Yu Ji's "Xinghua Chunyu Jiangnan", the Chinese language is really beautiful. "
The man's tone was flat and his writing was flat, but the two women on the left and right were inexplicably touched.
After Simon finished writing the little poem, Chen Qing spoke again: "Boss, when will you go to China next time? Many people are looking forward to it."
Simon smiled and said, "I don't know, maybe, in a few months, it will be the season of apricot blossoms and spring rain."
Chen Qing then smiled: "Then it's settled, apricot blossoms and spring rain will fall to the south of the Yangtze River."
Simon nodded: "Okay."
Chen Qing reached over to help put the photo back in, and said, "Also, how will these names be allocated in the future? Well, can I have one?"
"You want to change your name to Chen Xiaoming?"
Chen Qing's eyebrows curved: "Whatever the boss wants me to be called, will I call it that?"
"Then what do you think I want you to be called?"
Chen Qing leaned closer to Simon's ear and called softly.
Lin Su on the other side had a very good ear, but couldn't help but roll her eyes slightly, and secretly spat, "Shameless!"
After Chen Qing whispered, she hugged Simon's arm and tightened her arms: "Boss, why don't we go to bed early?"
Simon shook his head. He planned to abstain from sex for a week after last night. Now that he was not sleepy, of course he had no intention of 'resting' early. He simply continued to flip through the photo album in front of him and said: "Tomorrow you and Lin will return to China, and there will be another project for you. , ask A to give you the information when you leave."
China has entered the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year is about to begin.
Chen Qing and Lin Su will return to China tomorrow and will stay until the end of the year.
Not just for the New Year.
In addition to the affairs of the Guofeng Art Troupe and a series of projects that are already on track, Chen Qing and Chen Qing are also currently preparing for the computer company and the international school project with Swiss girl Charlotte Brenita.
The computer company has been registered and is called Joyo Technology Company. The computer brand it produces is naturally Joyo Computer.
A very common name.
In fact, Chen Qing had asked Simon about it at first, but it turned out that she really didn't like the names like 'Xiaomi' and 'Hammer' given to her boss. Even if someone cited Chinese folk custom and said that it is easier to get ahead with a humble name, she still firmly disagreed. I felt like I was messing around, so I picked an 'Excellence'.
It is also common, the key is that it is easy to remember, and it is in line with the common naming style of Chinese technology companies in this era.
The project plan for the international school has also been completed and has entered the substantive preparation stage. Land is currently being selected in Shanghai, but it is initially determined that it will not be in the Pudong New Area as originally envisioned because it has not yet developed there.
At this time, Chen Qing heard Simon say that there was a new project handed over to them, and she suddenly became interested and asked: "Boss, what is it?"
Simon said: "I just invested in one person, the one who built the building in Zhuhai. If you pay more attention to these things, you should know."
Chen Qing immediately thought: "Giant?"
Simon nodded, and in order to prevent his thoughts from being too abrupt, he found a reason and said: "I have read the information on the case provided by the Cersei Capital China Economic Research Institute in Shanghai, and I am very optimistic about the person behind the giant. This time you go back Find him, don’t be too hasty, have a casual chat, and give him some funds if necessary.”
Chen Qing hesitated: "Should we help complete the construction of the Giant Building? Boss, this is not a good idea."
Simon shook his head: "Of course not. I'm not taking advantage of such a big and inappropriate project. I'm just waiting for that guy to go bankrupt to see if he has other business ideas. If so, we can invest. That's a very powerful person. , I just took a wrong step.”
