At seven o'clock, Sophia Fessy got up on time when she heard the ticking of the alarm clock.

I went to see my son next door. I flew to New York from Europe yesterday, probably because of a long journey. The little guy said that he was unwell at night, and called a private doctor to check at home overnight. There was no problem, so he was relieved.

The movement gently touched his son's forehead, stood on the side of the bed and looked at it satisfactorily, then turned to look at his daughter next door.

Two children are everything to her.

However, she does not spoil her children uncontrollably.

In Europe, children are not allowed to sleep in at the age of six and get up on time at seven every day. When I first arrived in North America, I needed a period of jet lag and planned to let the two little guys sleep until eight o'clock.

The parents have gotten up, and the elderly always sleep very little.

I prepared breakfast with my mother and discussed buying a boat for my father.

Of course, I don’t need to use it for fishing anymore, but as a fisherman for a lifetime, my father would be at a loss if he left the boat for too long. When he was in Geneva, he had to float on the Geneva Lake in a small boat for three days. Is there a lake? I'm very happy to hear that it is by the sea.

What happened back then left her with some gaps between her parents, but after so many years, she has no grievances, or, there is not much grievances at all, it can only be said that the concepts of the two generations are different. Her parents love her, and even always apologize to her. She knows that she cares about her parents.

It's just that it's hard to show intimacy anymore.

After breakfast, two interviews were conducted in the morning. The family also needed to hire a full-time maid and a tutor.

She is very cautious about hiring people, especially taking care of her family.

At the beginning, I was fancyed by that little man, and I heard that I was investigated vigorously, but I was actually dissatisfied. Later, to help him manage the real estate, all the employed maids and servants still have to hire a detective company to do background checks.

After getting acquainted, she occasionally asked Janet if it was necessary to do this. Janet told her that it was something Simon said.

A couple hired a maid. The couple treated each other very well, and even borrowed large sums of money for her, hoping that each other would be able to compare their hearts and take care of their family and children. As a result, the maid actually had bad deeds such as gambling and stealing, and went to jail. Later, she stole the host’s things to pay gambling debts. She wanted to cover up and set a fire. As a result, the hostess and two young children were burned to death. Up.

Upon hearing this story, she immediately checked the maid who was taking care of her parents and children, but she did not feel relieved, so she checked it again.

Fortunately, there is no problem.

This time too.

Before coming to the United States, she asked Angela Ahrends, the head of Gucci in the United States, to help identify candidates. After a careful selection, she got two women, both of whom are white women. They themselves, including their families, have no history of abuse. , The past employers are also quite well-known.

Because of the need to get close to the two children, she insisted on arranging the tutor to undergo a psychological test.

Of course, their salaries are not low.

However, she has no financial problems now. The little man often looks like a bad boss, but he has never treated her badly in terms of salary.

Yesterday, the Simons and his wife were invited to have lunch at home. It was near noon and they began to prepare for it.

On Sunday, neither Simon nor Janet had a job, and arrived at the Sophia Fisch family's residence at twelve o'clock. It was a formal visit, and brought gifts specially for the two children, a set of Lego blocks for the boy, and a beautiful white bear puppet for the girl.

The two children were taught very well by Sophia, and they didn't need to remind their mother. After receiving the gift, they thanked them politely.

Janet obviously liked the two little guys. When handing the teddy bear toy to Gemma, she couldn't help but hugged the little girl over and kissed a few times, looking like an aunt.

After greeting, everyone went straight to the restaurant.

At a long table, Simon and Janet sit aside, and Sophia's family sits aside.

Sophia finished the lunch for everyone, sat down in the seat facing Simon, and added: "There is another mushroom soup to wait for a while."

However, Janet noticed that Daniel looked a little awkward, and asked: "Danny seems uncomfortable, is that okay?"

Sophia reached out and touched her son's forehead again, and said: "It should be because of jet lag, it will be fine in a few days."

"Have you called the doctor to check it?"

Sophia nodded: "I called it last night."

With that said, Sofia saw that her son still looked like she couldn't lift her spirits, and she leaned on her side and took the initiative to help the little guy put on the napkin, and then kissed her son on the cheek before sitting again. But he ignored Gemma next to Daniel. The little girl puts on her napkin without her mother's help.

Janet looked at the situation just now, obviously a little envious, but it was a pity that her stomach was still not moving during this time.

He couldn't help but glanced sideways at Simon, and unexpectedly found that his eyes were a little startled.

It seems that it is also envious.

So he stretched his hand under the table and poked it gently at the man's waist.

Simon was poked by Janet and reacted. He returned the woman's look at what you were doing. He picked up the tableware casually, noticed Sophia's parents next to the little girl, and took the initiative to look over and find a topic.

Daniel and Gemma have no problem speaking English, but the old couple only speak French.

Simon also took the initiative to use French.

In a few words, Sophia's father talked about buying a boat, and he got a little closer to this young man who is said to be very prominent but would take the initiative to talk to him.

Simon is not keen on boats and yachts. He doesn't like the insecurity of drifting on the sea.

However, I still talked about this topic skillfully and unknowingly talked about my trip to Antarctica when I was in Australia at the end of last year.

Hearing Simon's description of the glaciers, penguins and polar day in Antarctica, Gemma on the opposite side of the table looked very yearning. After Simon's voice fell, she looked at her mother expectantly: "Mom, can I go to Antarctica to see? "

"That's not good, you are too young now."

"So, next year is it all right?"

"Nor next year, at least, well, you have to wait until you are 18."

The little girl frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Can I directly celebrate my 18th birthday next year?"

Sophia smiled and shook her head: "No, birthdays can only be celebrated one by one."

Janet looked at the little girl’s disappointed expression and said, “As long as Little Gemma obediently listens to her mother, I can have someone take some videos from Antarctica so that you can see the penguins and glaciers on TV. Aurora. In this way, it will be Gemma’s birthday present next year."

The little girl glanced at her mother, saw that she had no objection, nodded, but immediately asked: "What is an aurora?"

"Aurora, um, is a beautiful light floating on the sky at night."

"Can we see the aurora at night here?"

"Probably, there should be only the South Pole and the North Pole."

As Janet said, she looked at Simon with some uncertainty.

Simon nodded and said, "It's true that only the South Pole and the North Pole have it."

The little girl looked over with curious eyes, persevering: "Why are there aurora only in the South and North Pole?"

Simon didn't know how to explain to the little girl the discharge phenomenon of the solar particles after being absorbed and excited by the strong magnetic fields of the earth. He lifted his chin to the opposite Sophia, and said, "Well, you can ask your mother?"

The little girl continued to shift her target: "Mom, mom?"

"My dear, mom doesn't know. I won't tell you until mom finds it out, OK?"

The little girl nodded earnestly, then turned back to Janet, and reminded: "Aunt Jenny, Gemma's birthday this year is May 19th, and it will be the same next year."

Janet couldn't help but curl her mouth and said, "I remember it."

Hearing that the aunt opposite and his sister had agreed on a birthday present next year, Daniel raised his head and glanced at Janet, and then at his mother.

Sophia gently grabbed the napkin on his son's chest and wiped the corners of his mouth, but only smiled and didn't mean to help.

Janet didn't wait for the shy little boy to speak, and smiled and asked, "What gift does Danny want?"

Then the little boy looked at Sophia again, receiving the encouragement of his mother's eyes, he said: "Train, train with rails."

Janet knew, and said: "Okay, next year I will send Danny a train toy, the track can cover the whole room. Then, when is Danny's birthday?"

"July 23."

Daniel said, his eyes showed joy, but he glanced at his mother again, with a guilty expression in his expression, probably because this request was rejected by his mother.

Sophia smiled and patted her son on the head without objection.

There was a scent of cream floating in the air, Sophia remembered again, and said: "By the way, there is mushroom soup, you go ahead."

After speaking, he got up and walked to the kitchen.

After a while, Sophia brought in the mushroom soup, put it on the table, and served everyone the soup in a small bowl.

However, the woman filled the first bowl of soup and handed it to Simon. Probably because it was too hot, when Simon reached out to pick it up again, she let go of her hand in advance, so a bowl of hot soup was accidentally poured in front of Simon, most of the soup. All splashed on Simon's suit and trousers.

It was nothing to wear two layers of clothing on the upper body. Although it was autumn, Simon still only wore a pair of trousers underneath. The hot soup leaked through the fabric on his thighs, and Simon took a breath directly.

There was a rush.

After the two women gathered around Simon and wiped it carefully, Sophia apologized to see that the man was still in a mess, remembering the heat of the mushroom soup, and said: "Why, rinse with cold water first?"

Before Simon could speak, Janet nodded and said, "That's it, I'll call and send someone a set of clothes."

Seeing that the two women were determined, Simon stopped speaking and followed Sophia upstairs.

Because of confusion, Sophia hurriedly opened a door, only to remember that this was her bedroom. But it's not easy to change it again, leading Simon into the door, leading him to the bathroom door, saying: "Just there, just change it inside."

The surrounding layout and the unique feminine atmosphere in the air made Simon sure that this was Sophia's bedroom.

There was a strong impulse inexplicably.

The moment he walked in, Simon grabbed the woman's wrist and pulled her in.

Sophia was taken into the bathroom by Simon in a daze, watching the man lock the door behind him. After turning around, there was a kind of blazing fire in his eyes, feeling a little tight in his heart, and subconsciously raised his hand and said: "Simon, no, here, now, Can't."

Talking and retreating until the body is against the wall.

Simon looked at the woman in panic, his thoughts regained clarity, shook his head vigorously, took a deep breath, turned and reopened the door, and whispered, "Go out."

Sophia was stunned again, and noticed that the little man regained his clear eyes, relaxed, walked over cautiously, walked past the man, stopped, and whispered: "I, I will go to Manhattan these days, you know , The Gucci brand event during Fashion Week."

Milan Fashion Week has ended, and the Gucci show has also been completed in Italy.

However, for the sake of brand promotion, although it will not arrange a catwalk at New York Fashion Week, Gucci will organize a brand marketing event, similar to the original Gucci night.

Simon heard the woman's words, paused, and responded softly, his tone slowed down a little bit, and said: "You go out first, and, I'm sorry just now, I scared you."

"No, it's okay."

Sophia said, feeling a strange pity in her heart for no reason. She raised her head and looked at the little man next to her. She stretched out her hand and stroked his face. She felt that Simon's body was obviously stiff, and she instinctively sensed something wrong. He retracted his hand, said nothing, turned and left the bathroom.

Simon changed his clothes in the bathroom and rinsed them with cold water. Someone from the manor soon sent a set of clothes over.

During the episode, no one else noticed except Simon and Sophia.

There were no accidents during the subsequent lunch, and he was rinsed with cold water in time. In addition, Simon's physical fitness was very good, and he quickly recovered without other treatment afterwards.

After the weekend, time also entered October 1990.

There are actually many things to do this time in New York.

There are mainly two acquisitions, especially the preparations for the Bell Atlantic acquisition, which are in full swing.

If Panasonic’s acquisition of MCA continues to be deadlocked, Simon plans to formally launch in early November to initiate a takeover offer to MCA first, and then simultaneously file an offer to Bell Atlantic after the agreement of intent is signed.

If you want to acquire a multi-billion-dollar company, especially Bell Atlantic, which is also subject to federal government telecommunications control, the preparatory work is very complicated and arduous.

Only the preliminary preparations require a specialized law firm to investigate possible legal obstacles to the acquisition and draw up a response plan. The acquisition team also needs to investigate and evaluate Bell Atlantic’s assets and liabilities in order to make an accurate quotation. To complete the pre-investigation work, it is also necessary to formulate targeted acquisition plans and standby plans for emergencies such as encountering bidders.

In addition, the issue of raising billions of dollars in huge funds also needs to be treated with caution.

In addition, the whole preparation process still needs to pay great attention to confidentiality issues. Therefore, Simon only gave the team more than one month of preparation time, which is actually very nervous. Cersei Capital, Rebold Law Firm, and another accounting company were employed. During this period, the two-line acquisition plan proposed by Simon was non-stop.

Of course, as long as the acquisition can be successful, the two acquisitions totaling tens of millions of dollars in consulting service costs are definitely worth all the efforts of the team in the entire process.
