Berlin.

Constance is still here, accompanied by a team of more than 20 people.

They are not all think tank people, and Lee's Real Estate... Someone sent by Lilith, to be exact.

Twelve-year-old Lilith has officially taken over the management of Lee's Real Estate.

Now she only attends classes three days a week, and the rest of the time is spent on the company's business, which she does very well.

Garbo was worried about this, fearing that she would lose the innocence that a child should have, and that she would feel uncomfortable as a result.

But in reality, Lilith did better than anyone could have imagined.

Lilith also came to Berlin for this trip, and she was going to be involved in the negotiations herself, but her schedule was a few days behind the team.

To ensure her safety, Garbo, as the guardian, will also accompany her.

"Mom, I can do it myself. On the private jet belonging to Lee's estate, Lilith looked at her mother with innocent eyes.

"I know, but you're still a child. Garbo emphasises this.

She had a lot of hopes for the future and her children, but she never thought that she would one day need to accompany her 12-year-old on a business trip abroad.

To coincide with her daughter's trip to Berlin, she had to push off a new play that DreamWorks had arranged for her, 'Lost Weekend', directed by Billy Wilder. ’

This script is Garbo's favorite film since she stopped filming, and she even decided to come back to the mountain, but she had to give up for the sake of her daughter.

"You can go pick up the script and I'll take care of her. The new CEO of Lee's Real Estate, Deville returned to his seat with two glasses of champagne.

"I know what to do!" Garbo said politely.

"Yes, yes, you're the boss. Deville raised his hand, then handed her a glass of champagne and said, "Let you relax." ”

"Thank you. "Garbo really needs to relax, she doesn't really like to get off the ground.

The plane arrived in Berlin on time, and before she landed, Lilith's expression became solemn, because there were ruins as far as the eye could see.

Bodies are piled up on the side of the street, and people with cloths wrapped around their noses and mouths are transporting them elsewhere in carts.

Lilith thought it should be burned in the suburbs, because she saw the smoke billowing in the distance.

The air was filled with smoke and heaviness, and a few gunshots could be heard from time to time.

It was the Allies executing the enemy, though Lilith couldn't understand why they were killing people after the war was over.

Horse-drawn carriages drove past the road, and the people on both sides of the street looked numb and frightened, in contrast to the unbridled ridicule and brutality of the Allies.

Lilith saw a woman walking briskly past with her head wrapped in a cloth, being pulled into a street alley by two Allied soldiers.

All others can do is bury their heads lower and speed up their pace.

"Lilith, don't look—" Garbo took her daughter into her arms.

"I've seen enough. Lilith said calmly.

"yes, so look no further. Garbo lowered the curtain on the car window, hugged her daughter tightly, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

The car with the Star-Spangled Banner drove unimpeded all the way to a hotel.

Compared to the chaos and distractions of the outside world, the hotel looks very well organized.

There are neatly dressed waiters in front of the door, and the people inside are singing and laughing, unaffected by the outside world.

The Adlon Kempinski Hotel in the Mitte neighborhood of central Berlin was the social center of all European aristocrats and celebrities before the war.

"We booked the room... DeVille, DeVille Cooper. At the hotel reception, Deville identified himself to the other party.

"Found it... Welcome to Berlin, the Kempinski Hotel will provide you with the best service...", looking up Deville's name, the staff smiled brightly.

"Lilith, the negotiations will take a few more days, during which you can walk around, although the environment has not recovered, it is much safer than before, as long as you don't leave the city. ”

Going to the room with the hotel housekeeper, Deville gave his advice that Berlin has a lot to see, even after countless bombings.

"No, I want to settle the terms as soon as possible, the main job is on my father's side, not on Lee's real estate... Right?" Lilith looked at him in a coherent manner.

"That's true, but you're one, Lilith, and don't forget that your last name comes from him. DeVille made a proper reminder.

He needs the boss to be sober, and adolescent children will always want to create something and rebel against everything in order to be different.

But Deville had to remind her to remember who she was and where everything she was coming from.

The Lee estate is very powerful, and there is no doubt that no family can own more land than it.

But that's not all.

In order to make the land owned by the Li estate valuable and able to generate money, she had to rely on her father's help.

The fact that the Lee clan is becoming more and more powerful in the United States is that almost all of the prominent families that can be named have become its allies, which is the most terrifying thing.

"We have our own business, you should be more responsible, Deville, or why would I pay you?" Lilith disagreed.

The adoration of her father does not dispel her pride, there is no conflict between the two, just like every child wants to do better than their parents.

Lilith wants to make a difference with her own achievements, so that her father can look at her differently and get more attention and love.

"Well, looks like it's time for me to go to work. Deville said embarrassedly, he just acted like he was bored.

For a smart, assertive girl, his advice was useless.

Too smart kids are always not very likable, and DeVille agrees.

"Lilith, can't you be polite to him?" Garbo said helplessly after the other party left, putting down the "Vogue" magazine in his hand.

"He should be more focused on his work than flattering others in front of me. Lilith motioned for the secretary to open the suitcase, she wanted to see the negotiation plan.

"The man you are talking about is your father. Garbo deliberately emphasized.

"Yes, I'm well aware ... Thanks for the reminder, Mom. Lilith took the plan and said impatiently, "Can I work now?"

"Go ahead, it's what you care about anyway. Garbo said that she was almost getting used to her daughter's busier pace of life than herself.

There is one thing that Garbo agrees with, too smart children will always give people a headache.

Downstairs in the hotel, Deville was on the phone: "Sir, I'll do my job... Yes... I will... Good. ”

Hanging up the phone, Deville let out a relaxed sigh of relief, helping the worried father take care of his daughter, the job was not easy at all.

Especially when it comes to Lilith, he always worries about saying the wrong thing.

Ideville's understanding of her, if she knew what she had done, the only result would be to pack up and get out.

DeVille was looking forward to this, and perhaps one day he would be able to move to work under Charlie Lee's name, instead of working here as a nanny, CEO and spy.
