Chapter 071: What a coincidence

Giant's Pillar National Park west of Tucson, Arizona.

It was already the evening of the next day.

Sunset.

Simon leaned in front of the front of the Chevrolet SUV and smiled as Janet held her camera and took pictures with great interest around several giant pillar cacti, seven or eight meters high.

Early this morning, Simon was pulled up by the woman.

The two drove away from Coolidge City and headed north to the famous Grand Canyon National Park, where they had a full day of fun. Returning in the afternoon, Janet was obviously unsatisfied, and clamored to see the giant's pillar cactus, so she arrived here.

In total, the two have driven more than 700 kilometers in one day, crossing most of Arizona.

Feeling that Simon had been looking at her, Janet quickly ran back and said, "What a big cactus, I really want to take one home, it must be cool to plant it in the yard." ”

Simon imagined a seven or eight-meter-tall cactus appearing in his yard, and said with a smile: "I don't know if it's cool or not, but someone will definitely trouble us." Okay, after a day of play, it's time for us to go back, right?"

Janet dropped the camera in the car, turned around and climbed up the hood again.

Simon looked at Janet on the hood, patted her on the calf, and said, "Sit down, I'm driving." ”

Janet smiled and grabbed Simon and said, "Little boy, you come up too." ”

Simon didn't refuse, and sat down casually.

The hood of the Chevrolet SUV appears to be very wide, which is more than enough to squeeze two people.

Simon sat down on the hood, leaning against the front windowpane, looking through a few tall cacti and looking at the sunset on the edge of the endless wilderness that was about to sink into the horizon

Janet leaned over and touched Simon's cheek, "Little boy, do you think I'm too pestering?"

"No," Simon tilted his head against the woman's cool palm, shook his head, and said, "I still like this feeling." ”

Janet spoke, pillowed Simon's shoulder, and whispered, "Actually, I don't want to, but I can't help it." And, don't you really remember what day it is?"

Simon thought about it, but still shook his head.

Janet reached over, pulled her wallet out of Simon's coat pocket, opened it, and displayed it in front of him.

Simon carefully looked at the driver's license in front of him a few times before saying, "It turned out to be a birthday, I forgot." ”

Simon didn't care much about his birthday in his previous life, and he didn't pay much attention to it after he was reborn, but he didn't expect Janet to remember it, and he rushed over from Los Angeles.

Somewhat moved, he reached out and hugged the woman, slightly hard.

Janet leaned over very cooperatively, and the two kissed together.

After being obsessed for a while, they separated, but Janet was still attached to Simon, reached out and touched his cheek, and said, "After today, I can't call you a little boy anymore." Actually, I wanted to prepare it carefully. However, since you don't care, don't prepare. I've always thought it was silly to blow out a candle on a cake. ”

Simon just smiled, feeling Janet's soft body, and suddenly remembered one more thing, and said, "Speaking of which, I don't know your age yet, come, show me your driver's license." ”

"It's rude to ask about a lady's age," Janet patted Simon on the ground, but simply took a card out of her pocket and handed it to him. ”

Simon took it and held it up in front of his eyes to look at it.

DOB:02/22/68。

Well?

Something seems wrong.

So he held up his driver's license again.

DOB:02/22/68。

Janet also leaned over to look at it, and then said in surprise: "Wow, what a coincidence, our birthdays are exactly the same." ”

"yes, what a coincidence. ”

Simon looked helpless, casually grabbed the woman and slapped her ass twice.

"Hehe, it hurts, it's violent. ”

Janet grinned and twisted to snatch her driver's license back.

Simon never cared about Janet's age, and just asked casually, since the woman didn't want to let herself know, she wouldn't pursue it anymore.

After being reborn, Simon found himself taking too much of it lightly. Although I tried very hard to do something. But in his bones, he has an indescribable alienation and indifference to everything around him.

Janet pressed her face to Simon's chest, listened quietly to the man's powerful heartbeat for a while, and suddenly murmured, "Little boy, I love you, you know?"

Simon looked at the fiery clouds left behind after the sunset on the horizon, and nodded, "I know." ”

"But, I know you don't love me," Janet continued to murmur, raising her hand and pressing it to Simon's heart, and whispered, "It's so cold here, I really want to help you get away." ”

Simon hugged the woman and said, "It's getting dark, let's go back, you can try a hot compress at night." ”

"It's not funny at all," Janet whispered as she slapped Simon lightly, "Actually, I'd love to know everything about you, but you're definitely not going to tell me, are you?"

"Hmm. ”

Janet rubbed her face against Simon's chest and said, "Little boy, no matter what, I won't be your bond." However, you also have to promise that even if you don't love me in your heart, you will always accommodate me, spoil me, and indulge me like this. ”

"Of course, I will," Simon nodded, "Still, I think you'd better be my bond, without it, I'm likely to run away and destroy the world." ”

When Janet heard Simon say this, she chuckled and said, "Little boy, do you know what my dream was when I was a child?"

"What?"

Janet raised her head, made eye contact with Simon, and said seriously: "Destroy the world like those big villains in the movie." ”

Simon showed a palpitating expression and said, "It's good that you're too lazy, otherwise everyone would be unlucky." ”

Janet curled the corners of her mouth, put it back on Simon's chest, and said, "But now you can help me fulfill this dream." ”

"Well, it's a bit difficult. Besides, the world is bad enough, let's let it survive on its own. ”

Janet's tone suddenly became a little more stubborn, and she insisted, "No." ”

"Why don't we change to a less difficult goal and conquer the world first?"

"Uh-huh. ”

Simon smiled and looked up at the sky that was about to darken, and said, "So, before conquering the world, should we hurry back, this is the wild, I don't know if there are wolves in Arizona." ”

"Hehe," Janet chuckled, but put her arms around Simon to keep him from moving, "No, I haven't stayed enough." ”

Simon pinched Janet's delicate face indulgently and said, "Okay, who made it your birthday." ”

Janet opened her mouth and bit Simon's outstretched finger before she said, "Simon, there's one more thing." As for the contract we signed in the first place, there will be a lot of money this time. I thought about it, I can't ask for it, you just have to give me back the $400,000. ”

Simon didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Have you calculated how much Orion can earn this time?"

Jenny nodded, pouted again, and said, "It's just the box office, they may be able to get 50 million US dollars, even the copy money is from us, Orion didn't invest much at all, it's really cheap for them." ”

Simon ran his fingers across Janet's lips to keep her from pursing, and smiled, "But I don't think they take more at all, because they deserve it." If I had chosen to cooperate with the Seven, it would have been impossible to get the conditions given by Orion. In the same way, you invested that money in the first place, and you deserve a share in the future. ”

Janet looked over again and said, "However, I always feel that this is a little unfair to you. You do the most and take the least. ”

Simon probed slightly, kissed the woman on the lips, and said, "Without you, I wouldn't even be able to do these things." So, that's fair. And, not just money, I actually got a lot more than you could have imagined. Remember Sanders, who left last night? "The Butterfly Effect", which is still in production, may not even be able to earn 500,000 yuan from it, including the later share. But this time for "The Grim Reaper", if I can negotiate it, I can get more than $5 million. Look, that's what I got. ”

Janet finally nodded: "Well, since that's the case, I'll take the money." ”

Simon thought for a while and said, "Before taking it, let me use this money for a while, this time it's borrowed, and I won't share it with you if I earn it, okay?"

"Uh-huh," Jenny nodded, and added, "What are you going to do?"

Simon looked at the woman and said with a smile: "I suddenly remembered, Catherine said that you graduated from Columbia Business School, can you play stock index futures?"

This year happens to be 1987, and the deepest impression of this year in Simon's memory is undoubtedly the crash of the US stock market. In this case, it is completely unreasonable not to take advantage of such a good opportunity to make some capital for yourself.

"Yes, I used to earn some pocket money when I was in college," Janet heard Simon say this, her eyes flashed smartly, without the slightest laziness in her usual days, her eyes looked at him brightly, and said, "Now a lot of people have begun to enter the market, so, New York and Tokyo, which side are you going to press?"

Simon looked at Janet, who had a sudden change in temperament, reached out and pinched her little nose, and said with a smile: "We won't press anywhere, wait." However, since you are so interested, you will help me with the operation when the time comes. ”

Janet opened Simon's hand, leaned lazily on Simon, and said, "I won't help you get it, I'm so tired." A lot of my former classmates are on Wall Street, so let them come when the time comes, well, I can help you watch. However, Simon, no one can be sure about such a thing as stock index futures unless you can predict it. ”

Sure enough, it's still the master's labor.

Simon pinched the woman in his arms, who was born rich and destitute, and said, "Perhaps, I can really predict the prophet." ”

Janet suddenly became interested again and asked, "Do you know when humanity will become extinct?"

Simon was stunned and shook his head honestly.

"When will an asteroid like 65 million years ago come back to Earth?"

Simon still shook his head.

"What about World War III?"

Simon continued to shake his head.

Janet pouted: "Cut." ”

Simon felt the woman's desire to destroy, reached out and gestured on her thin white neck, and said with a smile: "Jenny, I think it's too dangerous for you to stay on this planet. ”

Janet put her neck in Simon's hand and said, "Mmmmmmmmmm ”

Simon naturally didn't use his strength, but he didn't withdraw his hand, but said: "To get down to business, Jenny, I hope the more money this time, the better, so you go back to Los Angeles tomorrow, take the contract between us and Orion to the bank for evaluation, and take out a loan as soon as possible." ”

"Uh-huh," Jenny nodded, then looked at Simon again, with a little cunning in her eyes, and said, "I'll help you write an IOU, this time it's a big deal, remember to come back and press your handprint." ”

"I've been wondering if I'm going to be on the books like some people do. ”

"I just want you to pay the bill," Janet pointed her finger at Simon's heart, and said, "In this way, you will owe me for the rest of your life." ”

Simon's tone immediately became firm: "Forget it, it's still not bad." ”

"Huh. ”

Seeing that his surroundings were completely dark, Simon didn't plan to stay in the wilderness any longer, jumped off the hood, reached out and picked up Janet's light body all the way to the passenger seat, and then drove back to Coolidge City in the north.
