Seeing the two girls appearing again, Janet, who was still leaning on Simon, waved her hand and said, "Come here."

The housekeeper didn't move, and Claire walked over reflexively.

When she came closer, seeing Janet pressing her hands down, Claire knelt down by the bathtub without any hesitation.

Reaching out to pick Miss C's exquisite chin, Janet said: "You are very smart, all the female doctors I just summoned were deceived by you."

Claire's body froze when Janet's wet fingertips touched her chin. She didn't dare to refute. She lowered her head and said, "Hug, I'm sorry, ma'am."

"Praise you," Janet withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "However, don't lie to her again in the future. If you become a fool, you will be responsible."

Having been with Simon and his wife for so long, Claire has more or less figured out Janet's temper, knowing that the hostess is not talking ironically, she relaxed a little, nodded slightly: "I see, ma'am."

Janet fiddled with the bubbles in the bathtub, and said, "Since you have been praised, you need to be rewarded. What do you want?"

Claire hesitated for a moment and said, "Alice said that we will be under her control in the future. I don't think it is necessary."

Janet glanced at the housekeeper standing at the door of the bathroom, and nodded approvingly: "Indeed, you are so stupid, you don't need to listen to her in the future, now, go out."

Chapter 377 Envy (Modify)

At seven o'clock, Sofia Fishy got up on time when she heard the beep of the alarm clock.

First go to the next door to see my son. I flew to New York from Europe yesterday, probably because of the long-distance travel. The little guy said he was not feeling well at night. He called his private doctor to come to the house for an examination overnight. There was nothing wrong with him, so he was relieved.

He touched his son's forehead gently, stood beside the bed and looked at him contentedly for a moment, then turned to the next door to look at his daughter.

Her two children are everything to her.

However, she does not indulge children unrestrainedly.

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

Parents have already woken up, and the elderly always sleep very little.

Prepared breakfast with mother, and discussed helping father buy a boat.

Of course, I don’t need to use it for fishing anymore, but I have been a fisherman all my life, and my father would be at a loss if he left the boat for too long. When he was in Geneva, he had to drive a boat on Lake Geneva for a day. Before coming to the United States, he asked around Greenwich. Is there a lake? I am very happy to hear that it is by the sea.

What happened back then caused some estrangement between her and her parents, but after so many years, she has no grievances, or, there is not much grievance at all, it can only be said that the ideas between the two generations are different.Parents love her, and even feel sorry for her all the time, she knows that she also cares about her parents.

It's just hard to show intimacy.

After breakfast, I personally conducted two interviews in the morning, and the family 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 favored by that man, and I heard that I was severely investigated, but I was actually dissatisfied.Later, he helped him take care of the real estate, and all the hired maids and servants still had to hire a detective company to do background checks.

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

A couple hired a maid. The couple treated each other very well, and even lent her a large sum of money. They only hoped that the other party could take good care of their family and children.It turned out that the maid actually had bad deeds such as gambling and theft, and was imprisoned. Later, she stole things from the master's house to pay off her gambling debts. She wanted to cover it up and set a fire. As a result, the hostess and the two young children were burned to death. up.

Hearing this story, she checked out the maid who took care of her parents and children at the first time. Not feeling at ease, she checked a second time.

Fortunately, there is no problem.

It's the same this time.

Before coming to the United States, she asked Angela Ahrendts, the person in charge of Gucci in the United States, to help her find candidates. After careful selection, she got two white women who had no history of misdeeds, including their family members. , There is also quite a reputation from previous employers.

Because of the need to be close to the two children, she also insisted that the tutor undergo a psychological test.

Of course, the salaries of the two are not low.

However, she has no financial worries right now.The man often speaks like an evil boss, but he has never treated her badly in terms of salary.

Yesterday, I invited the Simon couple to have lunch at home, and around noon, I started to prepare for it again.

Because of Sunday, neither Simon nor Janet worked, and they arrived at the residence of Sofia Fishy's family on time at twelve o'clock.It was a formal visit, and I specially brought gifts for the two children, a set of Lego blocks for the boy and a beautiful white furry bear doll for the girl.

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

Janet obviously likes the two little guys very much. When she handed the teddy bear to Gemma, she couldn't help hugging the little girl and kissing her a few times, looking like she was weird to her aunt.

After a greeting, everyone came directly to the restaurant.

A long table, Simon and Janet sat on one side, and Sophia's family sat on the other.

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

Janet noticed Daniel's sleepy look across from her, and asked, "Danny seems uncomfortable, is it okay?"

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

"Have you called a doctor to check?"

Sophia nodded: "I called it last night."

Having said that, Sophia saw that her son still looked like he couldn't lift his spirits, she turned sideways to help the little guy put on the napkin, and kissed her son on the cheek before sitting down again.But they ignored Gemma next to Daniel.The little girl put on the napkin herself without the help of her mother.

Janet looked at the situation just now, obviously a little envious, but unfortunately her stomach still didn't move during this time.

He couldn't help but turned his head to look at Simon beside him, and unexpectedly found that his eyes were a little dazed.

It seems that it is also envious.

So he reached out his hand under the table and lightly poked the man's waist.

Simon was poked by Janet, he reacted, returned the woman's eyes, what are you poking me for, picked up the tableware as if nothing had happened, noticed Sophia's parents next to the little girl, looked over actively, and found a topic.

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

Simon also took the initiative to use French.

In a few words, Sophia's father talked about buying a boat, and became a little closer to this young man who was 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 being adrift at sea.

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

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

"That's not right, you're too young now."

"So, next year?"

"Not next year, at least, um, until you're 18."

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

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

Seeing the little girl's disappointed expression, Janet said, "As long as little Gemma obeys her mother, I can have some video tapes taken from Antarctica, so that you can see penguins and glaciers on TV, and maybe some What about Aurora. In this way, it will be Gemma's birthday present next year."

The little girl glanced at her mother, and seeing that she had no objection, she nodded, but immediately asked, "What is Aurora?"

"Aurora, um, is a kind of beautiful light suspended in the sky at night."

"Can we see the aurora at night here?"

"Probably, it should only be found in the Antarctic and the North Pole."

Janet said, looking at Simon uncertainly.

Simon nodded and said, "Indeed, only the Antarctic and the North Pole have them."

The little girl looked over with curious eyes, and she persevered: "Why do only the Antarctic and the North Pole have the aurora?"

Simon didn't know how to explain to the little girl the discharge phenomenon of the solar particles being attracted by the strong magnetic field at the two poles of the earth. He raised his chin towards Sofia and said, "You can ask your mother about this?"

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

"Baby, mom doesn't know either. I'll tell you when mom finds out, okay?"

The little girl nodded seriously, then turned back to Janet, and reminded: "Aunt Jenny, Gemma's birthday is May 5 this year, and it will be the same next year."

Janet couldn't help curling her lips, and said, "I remember."

Hearing that the aunt on the opposite side and his sister had agreed on next year's birthday gift, Daniel looked up 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 she just smiled and didn't mean to help.

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

Then the little boy looked at Sophia again, and after receiving encouraging eyes from his mother, he said, "Train, a train with rails."

Janet understood, and said, "Okay, I'll give Danny a train toy next year. The track can cover the entire room. So, when is Danny's birthday?"

"November 7."

Daniel said, with joyful eyes in his eyes, but he looked at his mother again, with a bit of guilt in his expression, probably because this kind of request was rejected by his mother.

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

There was a scent of butter in the air, and Sophia thought again, and said, "By the way, there's mushroom soup, you go on first."

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

After a while, Sophia came in with mushroom soup, put it on the dining table, and served it to everyone in a small bowl.

However, the woman filled the first bowl of soup and handed it to Simon, probably because it was too hot. Seeing that Simon reached out to pick it up again, she let it go ahead of time, so a bowl of hot soup was accidentally dumped in front of Simon, and most of the soup All over Simon's suit and trousers.

It's okay to wear two layers of clothing on the upper body. Although it's autumn, Simon still only wears a pair of trousers underneath. The hot soup seeped in through the fabric on his thighs, and Simon took a breath of cool air.

There was a rush.

After the two women gathered around Simon and wiped it carefully, Sophia felt apologetic when she saw that the man was still in a mess. Remembering the heat of the mushroom soup, she said, "Why don't you wash it with cold water first?"

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

Seeing that the two women had agreed, Simon stopped talking and followed Sophia upstairs.

Because her mind was a little confused, Sophia hurriedly pushed open a door, only to realize that this was her bedroom.But it was not easy to change it, so he led Simon into the door, took him to the door of the bathroom, and said, "It's there, just change it inside."

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

Inexplicably gave birth to a strong impulse.

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

Sophia was taken into the bathroom by Simon in a daze. Seeing the man lock the door behind her, she turned around with a kind of fierceness in her eyes, and felt her heart tightening for a moment. She subconsciously raised her hand and said, "Simon, you can't, here, now, cannot."

While talking, he backed away until his body was against the wall.

Simon looked at the woman's terrified appearance, his thoughts regained clarity, he shook his head vigorously, took a deep breath, turned around and opened the door again, and said softly, "Go out."

Sophia was stunned again, noticing that the man's eyes had returned to clear, relaxed, walked over carefully, walked past the man, stopped, and whispered: "I, I will go to Manhattan in a few days, you know, Fashion week Gucci brand activities thing."

Milan Fashion Week is over, and Gucci's catwalk is also done in Italy.

However, for the sake of brand promotion, although there will be no catwalks at New York Fashion Week, Gucci will hold a brand marketing event, similar to the original Gucci Night.

When Simon heard the woman's words, he paused for a moment, then responded softly, his tone became more slow, and said, "You go out first, and, I'm sorry for scaring you just now."

"No, it's okay."

As Sophia said, there was a strange feeling of pity in her heart for no reason. She looked up at the man next to her, reached out and stroked his face, and felt that Simon's body was obviously stiff. She instinctively sensed something was wrong, and quickly retracted it. Hand, without saying anything, turned and left the bathroom.

Simon changed his clothes in the bathroom and rinsed them with cold water, and 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, and Simon was in good physical condition, so he recovered quickly without any other treatment afterwards.

After the weekend, the time also entered October 1990.

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

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

If Panasonic's acquisition of MCA continues to be deadlocked, Simon plans to launch a formal launch in early November. First, it will initiate an acquisition offer to MCA, and after the agreement of intent is signed, it will simultaneously make an offer to Bell Atlantic.

If you want to acquire a multi-billion-dollar company, especially a company like Bell Atlantic that is still subject to the telecommunications regulation of the federal government, the preparation work in advance is very complicated and arduous.

Just the preliminary preparations required a specialized law firm to investigate possible legal obstacles to the acquisition and formulate a response plan. The acquisition team also needed to investigate and evaluate Bell Atlantic’s asset and liability information in order to make an accurate quotation.After completing the pre-investigation work, it is also necessary to formulate a targeted acquisition plan and a backup plan for unexpected situations such as encountering bidders.

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

In addition, great attention must be paid to confidentiality issues during the entire preparation process. Therefore, Simon only gave the team more than one month of preparation time, which is actually very nervous.Cersei Capital, Raybould Law Firm, and another accounting firm were hired. During this period of time, they were non-stop for the two-line operation acquisition plan proposed by Simon.

Of course, as long as the acquisition can be successful, the combined consulting service fee of tens of millions of dollars for the two acquisitions is absolutely worth all the efforts of the team throughout the process.
