Link didn't know what to say when his phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was Catherine, and asked, "Catherine, is there any good news?"

"The good news is that we've finally negotiated terms with West Hollywood. The bad news is that you'll have to pay 60 million in cash for it. ”

"Doesn't sound good, doesn't sound bad!"

"We only assume 60 million of the debt, and the other 30 million is still borne by the original shareholders. However, the debts they took on were due after three years. ”

"Meaning, the debt we need to take on is the entire debt of the previous three years. ”

"Yes. As soon as we acquire their company, the debt will be divided. ”

According to the results of the acquisition, the original shareholders of West Hollywood Media could receive $60 million to do other business within three years. Link actually had to pay $120 million, but he could afford to take on $30 million less in debt. For the time being, he only needs to pay $60 million for the acquisition, and the remaining debt, if the company can make a profit, may reduce his expenses. It is equivalent to spending money to buy a chicken in advance, but only pay half of the price, and then rely on the chicken to lay eggs to pay off the other half of the debt.

However, whether the debt can be paid off by laying eggs depends on the operation after the acquisition.

"Send me the electronic copy of the contract!" of course, the contract must be signed by him before it can be valid. If it is not signed by both parties, it must be signed under the witness of the lawyer appointed by the other party.

Interrupted by the phone, he has a bit of a headache about how to tell Hannah that he can't keep two cougars.

He picked up the little girl and said softly, "Hannah, they are cougars, they are beasts, their home is the forest, and if they stay in our house, they will be unhappy." Does Hannah want them to be unhappy?"

Hannah bit her lip and thought for a while and said, "I play with them, I have a lot of toys, they will be happy!"

"But they left their favorite home. If someone plays with Hannah and there are toys, but she can't see Daddy, will Hannah be happy?"

Hannah hurriedly reached out to protect his neck: "Does Hannah want to be with Daddy?"

"Daddy is just saying an analogy, of course Daddy will be with Hannah! You see, if you can't be with Daddy, you're not happy, and they'll be the same!"

"Let's ask their daddy to come and play with them!"

Link notices that the building is crooked.

He talked a little more, but Hannah just wanted to keep the two little cougars. And he didn't want to refuse rudely, so he had to use the method of delay, saying, "Then let them be guests at our house first." When they want to leave, we let them go. ”

Hannah didn't know if she understood what he meant, but when she heard that the cougar could stay with her, she smiled and nodded her little head: "Okay!"

After leaving the glass house, Link went to Tiger and asked him if he had been in contact with the wildlife rescue agency.

Tai replied: "I called, but no one answered, I think they may have been on vacation." Maybe we can call the police. ”

Link wanted to agree, but what he said was, "Forget it." Let's leave this in advance!"

It would be better to let Hannah and the two little cougars play for a few more days. They're still small, so there's no need to worry about them hurting Hannah.

Lying in bed at night, Link asked Jessica, "Jesse, you talked to Hannah about Christmas, did she say what kind of Christmas gift she wanted?"

Jessica thought he was trying to buy a gift for Hannah: "No, but she's looking forward to receiving a gift from Santa! ”

"I want to buy her two pets for her. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Jessica understood his thoughts and said, "Maybe." She understood that he wanted to buy two other pets to replace the two baby cougars, which would not only eliminate the possibility of Hannah's future injury, but also make up for Hannah.

"Then I'll check it out tomorrow. ”

Early the next morning, Link went out after breakfast. But when he returned, he came back empty-handed.

When he returned, he took Hannah to watch the decoration company that William had found to fiddle with the lights on the trees. I hope she has less contact with those two cougars, and she won't be too sad when they are taken away.

Had dinner at home and then went to the town for a while. The businesses in the town have been preparing for Christmas for a long time. There are quite a few simple rides specially prepared for children to play with. Link also finds that Hannah is always happy when she plays with other children.

However, because the temperature was a little cold at night, they didn't stay too late in town. Back at home, Hannah was still a little excited about going to the town to play, and Link managed to lull her to sleep: "Wake up tomorrow and receive a gift from Santa Claus." ”

Speaking of which, Hannah has her little clean socks hanging from the head of her bed. There were a lot of them.

Her little socks can only hold a few candies at most. I don't know what kind of gift she wants to receive when she hangs so much. In short, it may not be able to fit the gift he and Jessica prepared for her. It can't be pretended that the Hans family sent it from Nedawa.

Hannah was still a naïve child, believing that there really was Santa Claus. And the castle has big closets, and she thinks Santa Claus will really climb in through the roof.

So she said to Link, "Daddy, don't turn off the lights tonight." Turn off the lights, Santa Claus is here and won't be able to find me. She thinks the house is so big, if the lights are turned off, Santa Claus won't know where she lives.

Link smirked and said, "Okay, just turn off the headlights and keep the corridor lights." Santa Claus will know that Hannah lives here. ”

"Uh-huh. Good night Daddy!" Hannah squinted and pursed her lips and kissed Link on the cheek, then obediently lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.

Link left with the headlights turned off, the porch lights still on, and the orange light of the porch lights had little effect on the huge room.

Unbeknownst to him, not long after he left, Hannah quietly climbed out of bed. I saw her wearing pajamas, padding her little feet, quietly probing on the edge of the porch. Seeing that the door was closed, she pushed a chair to the door in the room, climbed into the chair and opened the door, then got down from the chair and moved the chair away, and the person went out secretly.

In fact, she was only one and a half years old, and she did it very slippery when she was on Hans's farm.

She lives on the highest floor, but she's already walked around every corner of this floor, and the hallways are brightly lit, so she's not afraid at all.

She padded her feet, sneaked to the elevator entrance, and pressed the elevator button specially set for her. The elevator doors opened quickly. She walked in and waited for the elevator door to close automatically. She looked at the buttons, which were only two feet high, bit her lip and snapped her fingers, and pressed the buttons on the second floor.

When the elevator went down to the second floor and the door opened again, she sneakily poked her little head out of the elevator, looked at both sides, and saw that there was no one, so she got out of the elevator. She didn't take the main staircase in the middle, but ran to the stairs of the wing. Along the way, like an invading spy, she climbed down one stairs after another, clinging to the wall. She was barefoot, and with a carpet, she didn't make a sound.

She didn't meet anyone along the way, and finally came to the glass house. There were her toys in it, but what she was looking for were two baby cougars.

The two cougars, who were sleeping in a pet kennel, opened their eyes and whined at her when they heard movement.

Hannah hurriedly waved her hand and whispered, "Don't make noise, don't make noise." She crouched in front of the two baby cougars and whispered. "Tonight, Santa Claus, will come to my room and bring me a present. You want gifts, too, don't you?"

The two little cougars just whined. She said happily, "You have to want it." Then come and sleep in my room tonight. Santa Claus will give you gifts when he sees you!"

As she spoke, she poked her head out of the glass door when she saw that no one turned around and beckoned to the two cougars: "Come on." Come on!"

The two little cougars actually came out of the kennel one after another, and followed her out of the glass house.

A little girl, and two little jaguars who were still a little hobbling when they walked, sneaked to the top of the stairs, and the two little cougars couldn't climb the stairs, and Hannah walked in the middle of the stairs and waved again and again, but the two cougars always fell down the stairs after climbing one staircase. I fell and whined.

Seeing this, Hannah climbed down the stairs again and whispered to the two cougars, "Good boys can't cry." I'll help you. ”

So she carried the two baby cougars up to the second floor, step by step. He returned to her room the same way he came.

Because Link wants to protect the privacy of himself and his family, the monitoring system in the manor is mainly to monitor the outdoors, and the indoor is only to monitor some key jobs, such as the kitchen or something. Elsewhere, there is no monitoring equipment installed.

This also made her leave the room alone for more than twenty minutes, and no one even noticed.

Hannah returned to the room with the two pumgars, and knew how to climb into a chair and quietly close the door. Didn't make a sound. Then he pushed the chair back into its original position.

Two little cougars were whirling at her feet, and she giggled and said, "Santa Claus, coming! So, let's go to bed quickly." ”

She said as she carried the two cougars to the bed, climbed onto the bed herself, and then carried the two little cougars to the teddy bear on the bed with great difficulty, and climbed to the foot of the bed to take off the two small socks, and clumsily tied them to the teddy bear's hands: "This sock is a little bigger." It's just a small bit. When Santa Claus comes, he will put the gift in his socks. Tomorrow, we will be able to receive the gifts. ”

Link didn't even notice that his little ghost elf was playing such a game. Before he went to bed, he came to her room to take a look. Because he was worried that it would affect her sleep, he didn't turn on the headlights, but just glanced at the light of the corridor lamp. Seeing that she was sleeping well in bed, she quietly withdrew from the room. He didn't even notice the two baby cougars hiding next to the giant teddy bears staring at him. He didn't expect that his baby daughter would secretly bring two small animals to the room.

He returned to his room, where Jessica was lying on the bed. Seeing him come in, he smiled and asked, "Is Hannah sleeping okay?"

"Hmm. Just give her the gift when it's dawn. ”

The two of them did not prepare the gifts separately either. It's just that the gift is a living thing, and it can't be put in her room too soon. Gifts will be delivered tomorrow at dawn.
