how i bought the whole world

At night, Brandon and I lay in bed talking.

I kissed his gray-blue, wet eyes, and chuckled softly, "How about it, is it good to be the hostess?"

He rolled over and turned his back on me, "I never want to deal with women again."

"I saw you talking in the back garden." I said.When I was in the study, I took a moment to look at the window. Brandon was introducing the apple tree we planted to Mrs. Lee.He named the tree Wei'er, well, actually that's my initials - he and I planted the tree together last year.

"I told her that Will hasn't produced any fruit. It bloomed this year, but unfortunately it was very sparse, and it didn't take long for it to fall." Brandon replied lazily, "Then she recommended me a lot of related Home gardening books, and we talked about how to grow wattle trees, well, I think her life is about cooking, kids, and gardening."

I giggled and couldn't help but leaned down and kissed his back, from his shoulder blades to his round buttocks.Brandon was a little itchy and moved his body. I lay down behind him and put my hands on the sides of his head. "Don't move, honey."

Brandon couldn't help but give me a supercilious look, "I've been in heat all day long." But he accepted my entry without any resistance.

This time my interest lasted a little longer. When the matter was over, Brandon couldn’t lift his tired fingers. He leaned on my chest this time and said, “Google’s offer should be between 10 billion and 12 billion, more Impossible, it seems to want to buy greenborder more than YouTube."

Greenborder is a security software that can directly act on the browser to function as a filter and firewall. Google's move is to suppress the development of several other security software such as Cyclops, Kaspersky and Macfee. They are afraid of using external The defense software will allow Google technology to be stolen by these companies, so I also plan to study my own security defense software.

"You always have a way." I happily bite him. "Tell me, are you secretly planting industrial spies at Google?"

"I have my own means, William." Brandon was drowsy. "Don't forget that I was serving the campaign. In fact, there is no difference between the political circle and the business district."

"That's right, go to sleep baby." I said softly.

Brandon got up the next day and ordered a lot of books about trees on the web.

I went over to take a look, and found that they were all books recommended to him by Mrs. Li yesterday.Brandon wrote these in his notebook, listing a reading order, and the key ones were marked with an asterisk.

"Let's solve Will's problem." He scratched his head, "Is it too many bugs? Not enough nutrition? Or not enough sunlight?"

"Or it's too small." I said, in fact, the apple tree is only as tall as a person, and it may not be ready for fruiting. I heard that it takes at least three or four years for an apple tree to grow.

At this moment, Brandon's cell phone rang, and he stepped aside to answer the phone. After talking for a few words, Brandon's originally relaxed face disappeared, and his brows frowned.

"I see." He glanced at me from a distance, "Okay, of course we will go, book a plane ticket to New York for me and the boss, and cancel the meeting on Thursday."

Then he came. "Mr. Bennet has passed away."

I was startled, "What, passed away? So suddenly?"

"It's a cerebral hemorrhage, William. Mr. Bennett was rescued for a day yesterday, but he didn't survive it." Brandon said, "Just now his secretary notified Casey of his death and said that the funeral ceremony will be held this Thursday. I asked Kathy to book plane tickets for both of us." Kathy was one of Brandon's staff of secretaries.

"Yes. Of course I'm going." I sighed and sighed a little, "Tiffany will probably go too. Add Chris's ticket."

"it is good."

After thinking for a while, I went to the study and wrote a eulogy with sincere words and sincere content.In fact, in the past six months, Bennett has gradually withdrawn from the social circle of the business world.But he's still one of the big names here that matters.Occasionally, I would call him and talk to him about the recent investment. I don’t care about me. We are good friends. I never thought that the other party’s illness would leave quickly after a year. up.

Bennett's will was announced soon, and unexpectedly, he gave all his shares, properties and investments to Gu Anning.All real estate, business to his wife, and his nephew Jack.Bennett, only got a house and a little pitiful money.

Jack.Bennett was so angry that he yelled at Gu Anning in the company, claiming that Gu Anning had tampered with the will.But after the firmness of the lawyer, the will is true and valid.So Jack Bennett quickly changed his confession, and he began to accuse everyone that Gu Anning had tricked Bennett into writing a will that would benefit him when Bennett was seriously ill and delirious. , The two quarreled very fiercely, and almost went to court for the ownership of Chaofan Company. Regarding this, Chaofan's stock price was in constant turmoil.

This has kept me busy, not only to stabilize the stock price of Chaofan, but also to persuade all shareholders to continue to support Bennett's chosen heir, and at the same time clarify messages on the media and major social networking sites, in order to resolve this incident as soon as possible , I directly suggest that Gu Anning file a defamation lawsuit against Jack Bennett.

"If you want to ask a lawyer, I have a very good person here who can recommend you." I said to Gu Anning on the phone.The person I want to introduce is Chris's classmate, who specializes in taking some very difficult property lawsuits.Gu Anning's only disadvantage against Jack Bennett is that he is a Chinese, not an American.Don't think that there is no discrimination in the United States. In fact, when a Chinese and a white stand in a court case, most of the judges will favor the whites in their country.

"Thank you William, but I already have a lawyer..." Gu Anning expressed tactfully.

"Oh." I thought so too. Gu Anning is no longer a newcomer who just joined the company half a year ago. He has been in Chaofan for so long. He must have his own connections and supporters. There is no need for me to introduce him to any property litigation lawyer.

"Will you come over on Thursday?" the other person asked me again.

"Of course." I replied quickly, paused, "I'm sorry about your uncle."

Gu Anning sobbed a little on the other end of the phone.He seemed to be grabbing his microphone very hard, and his knuckles were gurgling there.

I can feel his sadness, but my identity does not allow me to say any outrageous words, I can only comfort him a few words politely, and then hang up the phone.

Soon Thursday will arrive, and that day, it is raining lightly, the sky is gray, and the clouds are so thick that they almost approach the whole ground. At Bennett’s funeral, many people came. They held black umbrellas and wore black suits. Or black dress, standing very quietly in front of the cemetery.

Among this group of people, only Jack Bennett was not present, and only Gu Anning and his aunt Mrs. Bennett stood in the family area.

The pastor stood in front of the chosen grave site and said prayers. "Death is not an end, it is a new beginning. Even if our body dies, our soul is with the Father. Those who do good deeds, those who are upright and kind, will surely enter heaven."

"So, don't feel sad about losing him, he just entered a new world, where there is joy, joy and fulfillment. And we will be reunited with him one day. We should be happy, for his release, for our future When we meet, we all have to smile and agree with this joy.”

After the pastor finished praying, Gu Anning wiped away his tears, stepped forward and continued to speak, his words choked up, thanking his uncle for taking care of him and the harm he had done to his relatives after his passing.

"My uncle was a hardworking and kind man. He dedicated his life to work. He used his wealth to help many people, including me. He always promised to accompany us for a long time in the future. I thought he would He will live a long life, but he didn't expect the disease to take his life away in the end."

"He gave us all his love. He has no children, and he almost treats me as his own child. It's a pity that the time we spend together is so short. I didn't cherish the time with him and let him leave us so easily. , My aunt and I are in a lot of pain about this. But he doesn't have to worry about us in heaven, because we will take good care of each other, and I swear I will treat my aunt like my mother..."

We listened silently in the back, Brandon quietly held my hand, I glanced at him, and held him back with the same force.This is not only saddened by the passing of Bennett, but also because of Gu Anning's words, we express our feelings, cherish the time, and stay together well, so as not to leave regrets in the future.

When Gu Anning walked down with her head down, Bennett's wife and friends took turns to say goodbye to Bennett, including Tiffany who said a few words beside Bennett's coffin.And as an ally who has cooperated for several years, I also stepped forward to give a speech at the end. I used the eulogy I wrote that morning. The content was very short, mainly to thank the other party for helping me again, and then lamented the impermanence of the world.I placed the pure white lilies in front of Bennett's grave, bowed, and then walked back from the front.

When the funeral was over, Tiffany came up to me.He looked at Brandon, then at me, and beckoned to me, "Come here, Field."

I walked over without knowing why.

Tiffany's expression was very serious, "What's the matter with you and Winston?"

I was a little surprised, I don't know where he saw our relationship, but I didn't think about hiding it from him, but at this time Tiffany waved his hand suddenly again, "Okay, okay, needless to say, Field, I can't interfere with you What, but I want you to act more restrained."

"Sir, how do you know about me and Brandon?"

"Angela told me." Tiffany sighed, "I don't know what you did that she saw, but obviously, she knows about your relationship and intends to blackmail you, but don't worry, I have ordered She is not allowed to mention this matter again, and she is not allowed to come to you, so you don't have to worry about your affairs being known by others."

I frowned slightly, Angela, it's her?Could it be that she didn't go away that night (it was Tiffany's birthday) but stood at the door of Brandon's room and eavesdropped on us?It makes me a little uncomfortable just thinking about it, but it's also a little moving to think that it was Tiffany who stopped it from happening.Tiffany is a person who can distinguish between right and wrong, and will not protect Angela just because she is his granddaughter. Even at this time, he chose to protect me silently.

"Thank you, sir." I said sincerely.

"Field." He shook his head. "I really don't know...you can figure it out for yourself."

"Sir, I don't want you to misunderstand me. I didn't play with Brandon's feelings."

Tiffany looked at me, as if to check whether I was telling the truth.Seeing my calm expression, he was relieved.

"William, you're my favorite student, and you know why? You're smart, and I'm partial to smart people. I don't care if you love a man or a woman, but I really don't want you to fall into other people's vices. There are many levels of depravity in a person, including drugs, sex, and money. Who would have thought that Joshua Smith was also a hardworking and good person at the beginning. If he did not indulge himself after earning money, but stick to his heart , then you won’t be in today’s situation. Sometimes you are very similar to him. You are keen on money, pursuing material things, and loose on morality. Nasty old man."

I glanced back at Brandon, who looked at me worriedly, and I smiled, indicating that nothing happened.

"Don't worry, you forget what I said, I'll never be like Smith? I assure you, it will always be true for me."

Smith poured himself a glass of wine: there are always those people around him, who protect him, care about him, and prevent him from detours.

He looked at William from a distance, shook his head, and suddenly smiled wryly.

What about me?
