In the northern hemisphere, it is late summer and early autumn, but in the southern hemisphere, winter is turning to spring. However, in cities near the sea, the changes between the seasons are usually not too noticeable.

Melbourne.

In the early morning, I don't know what time it is, but I can only feel a little morning light reflecting through the curtains.

On the big bed in the bedroom, Janet hummed and arched into Simon's arms, obviously reluctant to get up, and asked in a daze, "Honey, what do you eat in the morning?"

Simon was also a little confused, these days he was deliberately pushed by the two girls to watch the children, and last night he read a story to Little Nick until late at night, and at this time he couldn't help but blurt out: "Eat children." ”

Janet chuckled, "Okay." ”

On the other side, Jennifer, who was holding Simon's waist, gently raised her hand and slapped him: "Don't say that, especially outside, it will be taken seriously." ”

Janet laughed again.

With Simon's current status, this kind of statement, if it is said nonsense outside, may indeed be believed to be true.

Simon changed from lying on his side to lying flat, hugged the female assistant on the other side, and kissed her lightly on the cheek, but his big hand touched the woman's lower abdomen: "I've worked hard for so many days, I should have it." ”

Jennifer leaned towards Simon, her tone was a little softer, and she pressed the man's big hand and said, "It should be, but it will be a few days before we know." ”

One of the most important things about this vacation is that the female assistant wants to have another child.

Janet pretended to be jealous next to her: "Add one more, it's six little guys, Jenny, you will be more difficult to deal with in the future, tired until the wrinkled position." ”

The female assistant reached over and pinched Janet's face: "Maybe which of the two of us will get wrinkles first." ”

And then it's a snap twice.

Opening the little hand of the female assistant, Janet, who was touched by the 'reverse scales', immediately said viciously: "Moreover, you have also seen that a guy who wants to eat children does not like children at all." ”

Jennifer didn't answer, but looked at Simon with a smile.

Simon said: "Of course I like children, as long as I don't let them take them." ”

"Hehe, so do I. ”

The female assistant looked helplessly at the two heartless people beside her, sat up and began to dress, and said, "You can sleep a little longer, and I'll prepare breakfast." ”

Both of them agreed, to see the female assistant dressed, Janet also deliberately reached over a few times, and then caused some laughter.

When Jennifer got out of bed and walked to the bathroom, Janet, who had monopolized Simon, clinged to the man, but asked again: "Honey, so, do you like children or not?"

There was a hint of ridicule in his tone.

Simon nodded without hesitation: "Of course, according to the theory of genetic instinct, no one will not like children. I have recently figured out another truth, in the life cycle of a person, only if you get longer, you are the winner, otherwise, tsk, everything may become someone else's. In the life cycle of human beings, only by spreading their genes more strongly is the winner. ”

After hearing this, Janet opened her mouth and bit Simon's shoulder, grinding her teeth for a moment, letting go of her mouth, and her eyes crooked: "So, this is how I felt after I said those words to you a few days ago?"

Simon pretended to be confused: "What words?"

Janet bit the man again before saying, "That is, let more women give you more children." ”

Simon rubbed his big hand on Janet: "So, why don't you give me a few more." ”

"No," Janet immediately refused, but she laughed again, her smooth face rubbed against Simon's shoulder, and her tone was evil: "Anyway, no matter which woman has your child, she always carries the blood of the Johnston family, hum, what Westeros, in fact, it is Johnston." ”

“......”

Seeing Simon's speechless appearance, Janet giggled again: "Actually, my dad thinks the same way, otherwise, you think he will accept them so easily." ”

Simon thought of these days, although he obviously still preferred his two own grandchildren, but for the little Snow siblings born to Seattle and Sophia, the old man did not show too much rejection, thinking that this is indeed the case, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "That's right, it's all a family." ”

Janet suddenly became interested again, and her body wriggled and crawled on top of Simon, and said to him, "My dear, I suddenly feel that maybe, having many, many children, is also a very exciting thing." ”

Simon wrapped his arms around Janet's slender waist and said, "I think so too." ”

Janet immediately bit down resentfully: "Bad man, how can you think that." ”

Simon also began to beg for mercy in a blink of an eye: "Just think about it, it will be troublesome to operate." ”

"Bite you, ......ahh

Today is Monday, September 2nd, the beginning of a new week.

It wasn't until more than eight o'clock that the family sat in the restaurant, Simon, two women, five children, and the outdoors still carried the cold of winter, but it reflected the liveliness and warmth of the restaurant.

It's a pity that there is no snow.

I have been in Melbourne for half a month, and a few days ago I also went skiing in the nearby mountains, but only Simon and two Jenny, because they were worried about their children and the inevitable various entertainments, they only played in the mountains for two days and returned again.

In Simon's current position, it is indeed not easy to really leave everything behind for a vacation.

Fortunately, I will leave today to live on the island of Tasmania, across the sea from Melbourne, for a few days, and there will not be too much distraction there.

Inside the restaurant.

Eating breakfast, Janet, who was next to Simon, said another thing: "You really don't plan to go to the set of "Titanic" to watch it?"

James Cameron's "Titanic" finally started filming in July with a delay, and the originally planned filming cycle was two months, that is, it was completed in the near future, but as a result, the filming progress of the film is not even half of it.

Overspending is inevitable.

Daenerys Entertainment, who followed up "Titanic", was almost nailed to the set, and still couldn't control Cameron's procrastination and perfectionism, and when he learned that the big boss came to Australia for a vacation, he hoped that he could come forward in person, and even, because the current budget has been seriously overrun, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of "Future Water World", it is also recommended to directly replace the director.

Even the two Jennies already knew about it, but Simon just stood by and watched.

Hearing this, Simon shook his head and said, "Don't go." Seeing that the two Jennies were puzzled, they thought about it and said: "The current Daenerys entertainment is too sharp, or the entire Westeros system is too sharp, and there are some problems, which is what everyone is happy to see." ”

Janet tilted her head in thought and nodded in agreement.

Jennifer, who was sitting opposite and taking care of the two youngest children next to her, looked over and said with a smile: "I feel, um, probably in the last year or two, you have been deliberately slacking off, and it is also because of this?"

Janet immediately said unforgivingly: "Maybe it's really slacking, after all, there are so many women outside, how can they cope with it." ”

Simon smiled, didn't care about Janet's little poisonous tongue, and nodded: "When a company develops to a certain extent, problems are inevitable, and if there is no problem, it is the biggest problem, and I am now waiting for companies such as Daenerys Entertainment and Igrete to take the initiative to expose the problem." ”

The female assistant heard Simon say this, and said: "The next new technology bubble bursts, is it the node?"

Simon nodded: "Yes, when the crisis comes, the problem will be exposed." ”

Janet said: "Actually, all the companies in the Westeros system are relatively young and on the rise, whether it is Daenerys Entertainment or Igret, there are not so many problems. It will take at least five to ten years for the disease of a severely rigid large company to emerge. ”

Simon said: "Daenerys is really good here, Amy, they are very dedicated, and I personally watched." However, on the side of Igret, you also know that last year's IPO suddenly turned many executives and employees into rich people, coupled with the advantage of almost monopolizing the Internet platform, the company is actually quite impetuous, and now in Silicon Valley, there is carnival entertainment everywhere every day, which is more lively than Hollywood. ”

The female assistant thought for a moment and said: "Several cores of Igret, Tim really doesn't have much ambition, this is determined by personality, and you have already made arrangements, just let Bezos take over next year." As for Alice Ferguson and Carol Butz, and of course Jeff, they are all very qualified. ”

Jenny nodded her head in approval: "Yes, in fact, being able to select excellent professional managers is the best talent of our men." Otherwise, the Westeros system simply wouldn't have been able to do that big. ”

said and remembered an interesting incident in the past: "You don't know, Jeff at the beginning, I originally planned to pull him to Cersei Capital, because he was a very good professional manager on Wall Street, Simon was selecting the head of Igrete at the time, and he didn't want to be too rigid and professional, so he randomly pulled out one from my interview list, it was Jeff, I didn't expect him to be so competent, tsk, it's amazing." ”

The female assistant actually knew about it, and when she saw Janet talk about it, she nodded her head.

After breakfast, the family went to the Johnston family's mansion to say goodbye to the old man and them before rushing to the docks, and the family still took three separate yachts to Tasmania.

Near noon, the three boats docked at a wharf in the northwestern corner of Tasmania, where the grasslands meet the forests, and over the years, Simon has built many manor houses in his Tasmanian territory, this time living on the cliffside of the cliffs where the forests and grasslands meet and the sea at the same time.

Not far away, this part of Tasmania's north-west corner has a similar climate to Melbourne.

A team of waiters had already arrived in advance, and after the family arrived, they had a short rest and it was time for lunch.

And then there is no special arrangement.

In the afternoon, the sun was just right, and the family sat on the open terrace on the second floor of this neoclassical castle, with the blue sea to the west, the snow-capped mountains hidden in the clouds and mist to the east, the vast primeval forest to the south, and the green pastures to the north because of the sea in winter.

"What about the Garden of Eden. ”

Squeezing into a soft chair with Simon, looking at a copy of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" in Spanish in the man's hand, and listening to the frolicking of the children under the care of the female assistant, Janet said suddenly.

Simon nodded, but there was something else on his lips: "Yes, Garden of Eden." ”

Janet leaned over and pasted Simon with a face, and said, "Project Eden." ”

"yes. ”

Like the Sowell Plan and the Troy Project, Simon quietly planned another Eden Project.

And Tasmania is the Garden of Eden chosen by Simon.

In fact, many things have started a long time ago, and the root is Simon's pessimism about the ultimate prospects of human society, since he believes that some things cannot be avoided, the best way is to choose a place of escape in advance, for himself and for the children of the future.

In the past, Simon didn't have a very clear idea of this, but just spent money to build an underground shelter in the Tasmanian mountains and forests.

Over the years, Simon's thinking has become clearer and clearer.

Next, Simon will promote this from the policy side of Australia, and will try to pull in as many of the top people of the pyramid as possible in this world, only if everyone regards this as the Garden of Eden, when something happens, everyone forms a tacit understanding, this side can become the real Garden of Eden.

Janet just mentioned it, didn't say much, but looked at the book in Simon's hand again: "Honey, why do you like "One Hundred Years of Solitude"?"

Simon said: "If you go in with your heart, you can feel a sense of time passing, as if in the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of words, hundreds of years have passed, this is a very wonderful experience, especially now, with your lover and children, surrounded by beautiful scenery, and then, the short afternoon time, stretched to hundreds of years, imagine." ”

Janet mumm

The children were then sent off for a nap, watched by the maid, and the female assistant joined in.

One hundred years of solitude in books.

Outside the book, there is no loneliness at all.

This idyllic life lasted for two or three days, and it was not until Thursday morning that Simon remembered again to deal with some work matters, and Girl A had been with Simon these days, but, according to Simon's instructions, as long as it was not particularly important and had to be dealt with immediately, there was no need for him to know.

Lady A hasn't mentioned any work to Simon in the past few days.

On Thursday morning, after processing some accumulated documents, Simon checked his email address, which was actually mainly some personal emails, and then, he saw an email from Chen Qing from China, talking about an incident that happened a few days ago. I wish Momo's mother and want to talk to herself.
