Simon didn't want the news of his contact with the Hearst family to leak out, so he didn't go to the high-rise restaurant inside the studio for lunch today, but chose a lounge in Simon's office building.

Lunch was scheduled for 12 o'clock, and Mother and daughter Patty Hirst and Lydia Hearst arrived early at 11:30, and Simon didn't make the mother and daughter wait too long, arriving five minutes early.

Patti Hirst was obviously well-dressed and wore a black short-sleeved dress that showed off her figure. A 40-year-old woman has lived in a wealthy family since she was a child, and has not experienced any years of life and tempering, and her skin and figure are completely at the level of about 30 years old.

In the interval of shaking hands and greetings, feeling that the man in front of her was looking at her unabashedly, Patti Hirst had the slightest hatred for this young man who almost suppressed her family to the point of collapse, but when the man's warm and powerful big hand was held, she couldn't help but take a gentle breath, her heart couldn't help but speed up a little, and her eyes didn't dare to look at each other again.

When the man's right hand was let go by the man, Patti Hirst even had a feeling of loss.

Simon just said hello to Patty Hirst, then turned to the 10-year-old girl next to the woman and began to smoke: "Hi Lil, remember me?"

In addition to the increase in height a lot, Lydia Hirst still feels like the little witch she first saw at Sophia's daughter's birthday party, with a petite face, short lips, and a pair of talking green eyes, she looked at Simon without her mother being so restrained, seeing that the man was talking to him, completely ignoring his mother and grandfather's explanation in advance, he nodded his little head, but suddenly said: "Simon, do you want our family to be finished?"

Simon was a little surprised to hear the little girl use the word 'finished', but he smiled and nodded, "The point is, first of all, your family wants to finish me first." ”

Lydia's mouth was deflated, her short lips began to lengthen, a little inclined to become a little witch, and the gaze that looked at Simon was even more unabashedly condemning, as if you were the big villain.

Patti Hirst didn't expect to offend Westeros when he just met his daughter, and he was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and quickly apologized: "Mr. Westeros, Diya didn't mean it, don't mind." ”

Simon looked at the little girl with a smile, "Lil, did you do it on purpose?"

The little girl completely ignored the current hint and nodded, "Yes." ”

Patti Hearst turned to her daughter and reprimanded, "Deya, apologize to Mr. Westeros." ”

When the little girl heard that she had almost never spoken harshly to herself, she suddenly showed an aggrieved expression, and in the blink of an eye she was almost about to cry.

Simon didn't have the same idea of seeing the little girl, just shrugged his shoulders, made a slight gesture of please, and said, "Do it." ”

The three of them sat down at the table, and Lady A herself pushed a dining cart in and brought a few dishes to the table.

Simon noticed the curious look of the mother and daughter when they asked about the smell of food in the air, and explained with a smile: "I had Chinese food today." ”

As one of the increasing employee benefits, Daenerys Studios and Universal Studios in Burbank have upgraded their restaurants, adding dishes from different countries, and all of them have specially invited a group of top chefs, Daenerys Studios Chinese Restaurant, the chef of Daenerys Studios Chinese Restaurant, is hired by Simont from across the ocean, so it can make very serious Chinese food.

Of course, not everyone has access to these benefits.

Simon's insistence on a standard is that you can get as much as you give, and similarly, in the Westeros system, what kind of position you are in, what kind of treatment you can enjoy, so the average employee can still only eat the general dishes cooked in batches in the staff canteen, and the more different levels, enjoy different catering subsidies, and then the upper level of management has a separate high-level restaurant, and then up, the core executives of the group can let the restaurant chef come forward to customize their own dishes.

Similarly, the benefits of medical care, education and other benefits that will be upgraded in the Westeros system will still be clearly registered.

Simon is deliberately creating a layered injustice, and if anyone can't stand it, they can either work hard to climb up, or leave the Westeros system to find the justice they want.

Very authentic Chinese food, three dishes and one soup, Kung Pao chicken that Westerners are very familiar with, a crispy roast duck, a tomato beef, and finally a very simple vegetable soup, the vegetable soup has been divided into three parts, A girl finally put down the three drawers of roasted wheat, and then quietly withdrew.

Simon waited for Girl A to leave, and asked the little girl opposite with a smile, "Li'er, do you know how to use chopsticks?"

Lydia was very dissatisfied with a guy who called herself 'Lil' familiarly, but after her mother was angry with her just now, the little girl didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. Seeing that the man opposite skillfully picked up a pair of chopsticks, the little girl did the same, but the two small sticks in her hand did not obey the call no matter what, and noticed that her mother also seemed to have the courage to use the chopsticks, Lydia was even more angry, put down the chopsticks depressedly, and glared at the two adults angrily, intending to go on a hunger strike in protest.

Patti Hirst inexplicably felt that Simon Westeros should like his daughter's aura very much, so he no longer cared about it, and ate his own food with his eyebrows low, as if he had not heard of his daughter's anger.

Simon felt the little girl's cat-like staring, smiled, put down his chopsticks and picked up the knife and fork, and said, "Okay, let's use the knife and fork, and let your mother use those two strange things herself." ”

Lydia picked up the knife and fork, carefully tasted a few bites of the food on the plate, and then said unceremoniously: "It's weird, it's not delicious at all." ”

Simon seemed patient and said, "You can try the siu mai." ”

Although the taste is contrary to the previous meal, it can't be said that it is not delicious, but listening to Simon's suggestion, the sister-in-law can instinctively have a rebellious mentality, deliberately do not touch the drawer of roasted wheat, continue to deal with the food in front of her, and occasionally raise her head and make an expression that she doesn't like at all to the man opposite. It's just that most of the food on the plate has been eaten unconsciously, and in the end, even the three roasted wheat in the cage drawer have been wiped out by the little girl.

Half an hour later, at the end of the meal, Simon summoned Girl A to come in and clean up the dishes, and said to the little girl with a little unfinished face on her face: "If you want to eat Chinese food in the future, you can come to Los Angeles again." ”

Lydia said with disdain: "Mr. Westeros, our family is also very rich, and we can afford to eat ourselves. ”

Simon nodded and said quietly: "It seems that in order to make Li'er come to Los Angeles, I can only make you as unaffordable as possible to eat Chinese food." ”

When Patti Hearst heard the man's words, his heart suddenly tightened.

The 10-year-old girl, of course, is not completely ignorant of the world, and when she saw Simon say this, she immediately looked over angrily.

Simon had already gotten up and said, "Let's go." ”

The mother and daughter had to get up and go outside the common room, and Simon motioned for Lady A to look after Lydia for a while, and only took Patty Hirst into his office.

About twenty minutes later, Patty Hirst walked out of the man's office and left with his daughter.

Directly downstairs in the family car, Lydia, who leaned next to her mother, hesitated for a while before finally asking her mother, "Mom, did you sleep with Simon Westeros?"

Patti Hearst reacted from her trance and glared at her daughter, "Who taught you this?"

Lydia pursed her lips, but looked her mother up and down again, and said, "So, is our family's troubles over?"

Patti Hearst glared at her daughter, "Don't ask any more nonsense, or I'll send you to boarding school." ”

The little girl pouted disapprovingly: "Mom, if you don't get that guy, I may not even be able to afford boarding school in the future." ”

Patti Hearst fell silent.

I can't help but recall the situation in the man's office just now.

After entering the office, Simon Westeros just motioned for her to sit down casually, turned to the desk, and went straight to her work. Then after waiting for five or six minutes, she finally took the initiative to convey her father's wish for reconciliation, but the man just looked at her, smiled hatefully, and asked her if she wanted to reconcile with just a few words.

Then, noticing the man's scrutinizing gaze, remembering the other's preference for women and her father's stern admonition before lunch, she only hesitated a little and took the initiative to walk towards the man.

Seem.

Inside, I wasn't too resistant.

even vaguely hopes that men can be rougher.

It's just that, after she was already very active, the man didn't do anything, but gave her a $1 coin, asked her to pass it on to her father, asked what she could buy with so much money, and said that they only had one chance.

In the end, she had to leave his office with a coin.

Leaving Malibu and returning to a Bel-Airhurst family mansion, Patti Hirst handed the coin to Randolph Hearst and relayed Simon's message.

What can you buy for $1?

If it's just a literal meaning, the members of the Hearst family, who have been in the family for a hundred years, really don't know too well.

However, Randolph Hearst quickly figured out Simon Westeros' intention to ask his daughter to hand over the $1.

The conflict between the two sides has reached this point, and if the Hearst family wants to reconcile, it is impossible to just send a woman, even if it is to send a mother and daughter to Simon Westeros, don't think about resolving anything easily. The only way to do this is to provide adequate substantive compensation.

Simon Westeros took out $1 just to make the reparations a deal on the surface.

As for what the Hearst family can come up with to compensate Simon Westeros, except for the media assets of the Hearst Group, there is probably nothing else that Westeros can look up to.

With a no-brainer outcome, Randolph Hearst quickly returned to the East Coast to gather his family to discuss which of the family group's assets should be sold to Simon Westeros for $1 and what conditions they needed to be returned.

Then, inevitably, the Hearst family had serious disagreements over the matter.

Based on the extent to which the Hearst Group offended Simon Westeros in the past, many members of the Hearst family know that the compensation must not be too low than the total claim amount of $370 million in the six lawsuits under the Westeros system, but now that the assets of the Hearst Group have been seriously shrunk in a series of turmoil, how can everyone be willing if a large number of assets are easily ceded to Simon Westeros.

As a result, the original opportunity to break the game soon became disputed.

Almost every day, the management of the group has bad news, and even on May 11, several senior executives of the Hearst Group were overwhelmed by the pressure from the outside world, and because of the disputes within the Hearst family, they hesitated to simply pick their picks and submit their resignation letters together.

Now that everyone is shouting at the Hearst Group, these executives realize that if they continue to stay, their careers may sink to the bottom of the sea with this broken ship, so it is better to leave now.

Even on May 13, a well-known law firm in New York that was responsible for the Tihurst Group's resistance to the Westeros system lawsuit bombardment suddenly chose to withdraw from the case it was responsible for, losing the support of a strong legal team, and the Hearst Group immediately became passive in the lawsuit.

The once invincible Hearst Group, which has been in a dispute with the Westeros system, has been in turmoil, and since the outbreak of the Doris Fischer murder scandal in early May, it has been completely falling apart in less than half a month.

Of course, it's not like no one is on the side of the Hearsts.

The newspaper trade unions, which initially joined forces with more than 1,100 employees of the three newspapers that had been shut down to file a class action lawsuit against the Hearst Group, realized that the situation of the Hearst Group was deteriorating day by day, and finally could not calm down.

You must know that the entire Hearst Group is related to the jobs of more than 20,000 employees.

If the Hearst Group falls apart or even goes bankrupt, after all, the deep-rooted Hearst family may not become poor all of a sudden, and a large part of the employees of the Hearst Group may lose their jobs in this upheaval.

Moreover, in the context of the decline of the entire traditional paper media industry under the pressure of the rise of the Internet industry, it will be very difficult for these employees in the traditional paper media industry to find new jobs once they lose their jobs.

The Hearst family has been completely discredited by the Doris Ficher murder scandal, and the newspaper industry union is afraid to talk about each other again, but with the coordination of several large unions, someone still submitted a petition to the White House, hoping that Mr. President will intervene in all this and prevent tens of thousands of families from losing their jobs because of the Hirst family's own mistakes.
