In a mansion apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Catherine Weymouth sat at the dining table in a pink pajamas, eating breakfast while flipping through today's newspaper, and the eyes were full of large color photos, and the glamorous Ivana was looking up at the tall and handsome Andy Smith with affectionate eyes.
"The youngest billionaire spends millions on jewelry for his girlfriend... ”
"The Prince and Princess of New York spend a day... ”
。。。。。。
Reports with various headlines are detailing one thing, that is, the famous couple is showing affection again.
As a single mother with children, love and marriage hurt her a lot, and she even fought a property lawsuit with her ex-husband when she divorced, and even quarreled in court over a few hundred dollars of something.
However, this couple is no one, completely squeezing out the sought-after status of Julie and Pete, a dog man and woman.
Catherine had read Andy Smith's information in detail, and could only praise a genius for this, and she really couldn't find a more appropriate word.
It took less than a year for a depraved young writer to rise again, to reach the current height, and there is really no other word to describe it than genius, which is not something that anyone can do.
By noon, she would be able to meet the couple, and Jon Meacham had called last night to tell her that Andy Smith had invited her to lunch.
But before that, she also had to face Newsweek's very difficult unions, and if she didn't settle the unions, even if the Post Group wanted to get rid of this burden, to be honest, in the United States, the rights of the employee unions of various companies are really a bit big.
As soon as you respond to the call, you will strike if you say that you will strike, and you will not want to be willful.
As long as you coax this group of people to get the Post out of the weekly smoothly, you don't have to deal with this damn group of difficult characters anymore.
。。。。。。
In the conference room, Catherine took off her glasses, put them in the case, gently rubbed her temples, heard the door open, and asked lightly, "Sent everyone away?"
"It's all gone, VP, I'm sorry, I didn't do my job... ”
"Jon, don't say that, everyone knows, it's not your fault, the problem of the weekly magazine is not new now, its profitability is not high, the organization is too large, the department is too bloated, at that time I was only thinking about increasing the number of offices, increasing the channels of news gathering, expanding the influence of the weekly, to be honest, I can't only lose $10 million a year. ”
With a wry smile on her face, Catherine Weymouth reached out and patted the stack of materials on the conference table, and said helplessly.
"Hey... Jon Meacham also sat down with a look of loss, sighed lightly and continued: " Although the people in the union did not achieve all their goals, they were stable for the time being, at least they would not make trouble during the negotiation of the handover, however, although Andy Smith and I verbally said that there would be no large-scale layoffs, but according to my understanding during this time, Mr. Smith attaches great importance to the system and the contract, and now 92 institutions all over the world will definitely face detailed investigations in the future, even if there will be no large-scale layoffs, I think some people will not be able to stay. ”
"Hehe, this is a good thing for you, haven't you always wanted to do this? The power of the Post will no longer hinder you, to be honest, for the Post Group, I also want to operate on it, but unfortunately... Catherine glanced at Jon Meacham with a smirk, and said Jon's true thoughts without going around the bend.
This time in New York, in addition to meeting with Andy Smith to discuss the problems of the weekly, the most important thing is to get some support from Jon Meacham, so that she can deal with Leonard Jr., the current editor-in-chief of the Post, more easily.
Jon's imperceptible pupils shrank, to be honest, before Andy became the owner of the weekly magazine, some of his actions were indeed betrayal of his old club, such as the financial ledger that was sent to Andy early in the morning.
If Mr. Smith takes over the weekly this time, it will indeed bring some new changes to the weekly, but in this way, Mr. Sidney Harman may be very unhappy, after all, I heard that the editor-in-chief Leonard Jr. had made a promise to Harman in private, and he was also "thanked" and recognized by Harman... ”
Catherine's eyes couldn't help but light up, is there really a problem, hehe, it seems that it will be much easier to kick away little Leonard.
"To be honest, Vice President, Mr. Harman has talked to me a few times and made some promises to me, but I have not given him a clear answer, in fact, whether Harman or Smith enters the weekly magazine, my position will not be threatened anytime soon.
But the main reason why I prefer Andy Smith is because he is young, really young, and because he knows about the media publishing industry, when he took over The Observer, the New York media mocked him almost every day, and some talk shows often joked about it.
However, look at the present, hehe, there is another interesting thing here, this Mr. Smith is also a personality that must be reciprocated, "The Observer" After their financial reports were made public, the following issue of the weekly magazine listed and quoted all the reports and TV programs that had ridiculed and ridiculed him at the beginning to make a separate special report, which made those people completely ugly in front of the New York people, and the comments were so spicy and mean that some talk show hosts had to apologize to him and eliminate the impact in the form of self-blackening in the program. ”
"Gurgle... I know this, he is bad enough, and finally published the editors-in-chief and bosses of some media that have laughed at him, and finally came up with a rigid and outdated idea that it is not good to summarize the media. Catherine, who was smiling and trembling, was also full of curiosity about Andy who she was going to see next.
In fact, what he said is not wrong, you and me, vice president, are already relatively young in the media publishing industry, and most of the media editors-in-chief and bosses are in their sixties and seventies, and neither the body nor the brain can keep up with this era. Jon Meacham said with emotion.
"Hehe, okay, it's almost time for a date, let's go, let's go and meet this pair of New York darlings... ”
。。。。。。
"Gurgle... ”
In the dining room, Catherine and Ivana were sitting next to each other, smiling happily.
"What a lovely angel ... ”
"Yes, I love them. Since you like children so much, give birth to a few more, Andy is so handsome, you are also so beautiful, the baby you gave birth to must be very beautiful. ”
"Hehe, I will, but it's not in a hurry yet, after all, we're still young... ”
"Well, yes, enjoy the world of two more. YOU KNOW, THESE LITTLE GUYS ARE ANGELS AND DEMONS, AND IT TAKES A LOT OF ENERGY!"
Andy wiped his mouth with a white napkin, and smiled at the smiling Jon, Ivana's communicative ~ ability is really not covered, and her likable and elegant conversation, as well as her unique charm, made Catherine and her hit it off at first sight, and almost two men couldn't interject during the whole dinner, talking about fashion, career, and children...
"This is the Tiffany yellow diamond that was reported in the newspapers? It's beautiful. "Diamonds are always lethal to women, even Catherine can afford to buy them, but women are like this, there is no comparison, even if she passes by Tiffany's door all day, she won't care, but now when she sees it on others, that restless heart can't bear it, Catherine decided to go to Tiffany in the afternoon to buy a few.
Ivana looked at her boyfriend on the side, a happy and sweet face, she also read the newspaper this morning, and deliberately matched the outfit before going out, carrying Andy's arm, happily swaggering across the street, after arriving at the company, everyone unconsciously looked at the dazzling yellow diamond in the middle.
"Andy, in the afternoon, you will arrange for someone to be stationed in Newsweek for preliminary preparations, and Jon will cooperate with your people. I'll borrow your girlfriend in the afternoon, right?"
"Of course, thank you Catherine. Andy smiled with sunshine on his face and said goodbye to Catherine.
Watching the car go away, Andy smiled dotingly, gently patted the jade hand that was holding his arm tightly, looked at Ivana, who was looking at him tenderly with his face up, and said softly: "Thank you, dear." ”
"Giggles, what I should do, I'm glad I can help you. Ivana's sweet voice gave a crispy feeling, and she smiled and sat in the car with Andy who had been waiting for a long time.
