"$10 million is a waste. My father founded Motorola in 1928, built up six decades of time, and the Galvin family is a small fortune, but I still have a hard time imagining how a party could cost $10 million. , this is as absurd as the fact that Westeros made over a billion dollars in just a few months. I think the first thing the Brady Commission should look into is Simon Westeros, find out about this, we I probably understand the reason for the stock market crash last year.”

"Mr Galvin, all transactions in Westeros over the past year have been released and no one has found any breaches."

"Jim, do you really believe those figures in the media?"

"All I can say is, Mr. Galvin, I didn't see that a completely different document was released. There is a huge sum of more than a billion dollars involved, and I believe the FBI must have carried out investigations into Westeros. It's been a very detailed review. If Westeros's transactions last year were actually suspected of being illegal, he might be spending his 20th birthday in prison by now."

"I still don't think he is innocent, otherwise, this can only be said to be the saddest incident in the history of federal finance. So many people have worked hard all their lives, and generations may not be able to accumulate too much wealth. That young man has It only took five months, can you imagine? Five months, $1.6 billion," On the TV screen, Motorola Chairman Robert Galvin's tone became more and more excited, and he gestured randomly, saying: " And then he started acting like a bastard who suddenly got a big inheritance, buying planes and mansions and spending $10 million all at once for birthday parties."

"Mr. Galvin, compared to many other celebrities, Westeros is still very low-key. Also, the 20th birthday should be well worth celebrating, right?"

"Westeros could have done something more meaningful, he was an orphan, everyone knew that, he was raised on the federal social welfare system. But now, no one sees him trying to Give back to this country, to the people who pay his taxes to feed him, house him and educate him. I've heard a lot of charities trying to get in touch with him, but no one has responded. His indifference to philanthropy is just chilling."

"Mr. Galvin, may I think that you're just holding a grudge because Westeros sold Motorola. As far as I know, Motorola was over $75 before Simon Westeros sold, but the last few For months, that figure has been hovering around $60. Correspondingly, the stock prices of many companies in which Westeros holds shares have continued to rise. Also, I heard that you have been criticized by the Motorola board of directors. It may be in the near future. Resign."

"No, no, these are certainly not true. Motorola's share price was indeed disrupted by the Westeros sell-off, but it didn't affect the performance of our company, which had a net profit of over $300 million for all of last year. In In my opinion, the stock price is only temporary, and it can create profits for shareholders, which is the foundation of a business. In addition, as for me, I am 66 years old this year, and I was thinking about retirement a few years ago. This has nothing to do with the Westeros sell-off."

Inside the Malibu mansion, it was already noon the next day.

Janet walked into Simon's study and listened to a few interviews with Motorola Chairman Robert Galvin on the TV. When Simon, who was on the phone, hung up, he picked up the remote and turned off the TV, saying, "You Do you like hearing people talk about you in person?"

Starting this morning, both the mainstream media and the tabloids have been discussing Simon's birthday party last night with all kinds of eye-catching headlines.

Pat Kingsley called in the morning to report some media developments that Simon needed to know, and finally joked that he would be dedicated to calming down the impact of this party for a long time.

Simon sat behind his desk and wrote something in his notebook, and said, "Knowing that someone in this world hates you is still very motivating. Has your brother arrived?"

Janet put her arms on the table, leaned forward slightly and said, "There are still a few minutes, I'll come over to see if you're done calling."

"It's done," Simon nodded and explained casually: "Amy called, the Screenwriters Guild of America publicly launched a strike vote this morning, and this year's strike is definitely inevitable."

Today is February 23, and Simon remembers the writers' strike date as March 7. However, the strike of the Writers Guild of America cannot be decided by WGA executives at will, and a member vote is also required. Since WGA members distributed in North America and even overseas need to send their votes by mail, this process usually takes two weeks.

Janet was obviously not interested in listening, and when Simon got up, she was about to leave the study holding the man's arm, but she pointed to the TV and said, "Although you don't care what the old man says, but I think You should also set up some charitable funds and the like, even if it’s just pretending. This kind of thing can’t be avoided, or more people will definitely attack you in the future.”

Because of some things in his memory, Simon is indeed very indifferent to charity, but he did not object to Janet's suggestion, saying: "Okay, just call the Simon \u0026 Janet Foundation, you can help me take care of it."

Janet shook her head and said, "No, it should be the Simon \u0026 Janet Westeros Foundation."

"Well, the noun is longer so that people can notice it."

"Oh, that's not what I meant."

Talking and laughing, he came to the kitchen of the villa and just brought the prepared lunch into the dining room when the doorbell rang.

The two greeted them together. Although there was no special feeling in advance, Simon was inevitably a little restrained when he really saw Janet's family.

Anthony Johnston looked older than his actual age, wearing a sharp gray suit, about the same height as Simon, with a short beard on his face, and some features on his eyebrows that clearly showed that he was similar to Janet. family.

After hugging Janet, Anthony Johns shook hands with Simon gently, and took out a gift to congratulate Simon on his 20th birthday: "I could have arrived yesterday, and my London business partner is in a deal. A temporary change of mind has to be postponed until now. Happy birthday, Simon."

"Thanks, Tony, let's go in, lunch is ready."

The three walked towards the villa together, but Janet unceremoniously snatched the gift box from Simon's hand, opened it as she walked, took out a watch in the box and looked at it carefully before she was satisfied: "It's not bad. , Dad's collection. I thought you'd just pick up a gift at the airport."

Anthony Johnston listened to his sister's ridicule, but said to Simon: "Getting along with Jenny should often cause headaches, she likes mischief too much."

Simon smiled and said, "It's okay."

Janet was a little dissatisfied with Simon's ambiguous answer, and said, "What is 'ok'?"

"That's right, the occasional headache, not so often."

Janet grabbed Simon's arm: "If you want, I'll give you a headache every day in the future."

Although the Johnston family had received a lot of information about Simon and the progress of Simon and Janet's relationship through Neil Bennett and Ken Dixon in advance, Anthony Johnston noticed his sister at this time. The kind of intimacy that I unknowingly revealed with this young man really made me feel relieved.

After a short rest, the three of them sat in the dining room.

The atmosphere at lunch was very relaxed, and everyone just casually chatted about all kinds of trivial matters.

After lunch, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. Janet took the initiative to clean up the dishes. Anthony Johnston proposed to chat with Simon alone, and the two went to the terrace by the cliff by the sea.

The mansion is located on the west side of Dumei Cape Park. Standing next to the balcony railing, looking out, in addition to the beautiful sea and sky in front of you, there is also a sharp corner area not far from the left.

Anthony Johnston looked at the sharp-angled cliff and said, "It's a very suitable location for building a mansion."

Simon said succinctly: "State Park."

Anthony Johnston shook his head and said, "Simon, for us, there is nothing we can't get."

Simon hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Okay, I will find a way to take it down, it is indeed suitable for building a manor. Sharp corner manor, um, this name seems inappropriate, since it is Dumeijia Park, in the future Let's call it Dumay Point Manor."

Anthony Johnston glanced at Simon and said with a smile, "You've already set your sights on that land, haven't you?"

Simon nodded: "Of course, many people are looking forward to getting that land."

Anthony Johnston smiled, stopped mentioning this matter, and changed the subject abruptly: "Simon, do you still remember your parents' information?"

Simon was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't remember."

Anthony Johnston hesitated, but said quickly: "I don't know why, the first time I saw your photo, I had a certain feeling, and the feeling was even clearer when I saw you in person. However, I Can't tell what it feels like. It's like we've seen it before, but it's definitely not possible, you're supposed to be in San Francisco until you're 18, but I've only been to San Francisco three times since I was a kid."

"This should just be a sense of sight. Many people will have this feeling, and feel familiar with some people and things for no reason."

"Maybe," Anthony nodded and said, "Actually, I hired a detective company to investigate your parents' information. I mean possible information. I don't have any malicious intent. I hope you don't mind. However, these investigations There was no result. You were picked up by a policeman on the side of the road when you were five years old and sent to the orphanage, but before the age of five, there was no record of your personal identity. Do you remember what happened before that?"

Simon really doesn't mind, and he is very curious about his past. If the Johnston family can find out, then he just doesn't need to waste any more energy.

At this moment, when he heard Anthony's question, Simon shook his head and said, "No, or, very vague, I can't remember at all."

"Forget it. It is said that someone has always claimed that your parents have tried to recognize relatives, but you have not responded. I don't think you have any intention of looking for your parents," Anthony said, suddenly looking at Simon again, and asked: " Do you hate them?"

Simon shook his head lightly: "I don't know them at all, how can I hate them?"

"Then, I'm very curious, what drives you to be who you are now?" Anthony asked another question: "You know, without enough will, it is difficult for a person living at the bottom of society to achieve your current level. Yes, most are more likely to just go with the flow, or get worse."

"I haven't thought about it carefully, Tony," Simon shook his head and said:

"If you really want an answer, maybe it's just me wanting to be better, better than most people."

"It doesn't make sense," Anthony said. "But since you don't want to explain, I won't ask any more. In fact, coming here today, the only thing I care about is when you plan to marry my sister. Of course, this is actually It's also what my parents care about the most, they don't want two old girls who can't marry in our family."

Simon wondered: "Two?"

Anthony Johnston was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I...have an aunt, my grandfather's daughter, my father's sister. It's just that she was born very late and younger than me. You should know that, right?"

Simon nodded and said, "She, um, Jenny mentioned to me, isn't she married?"

"Since Jenny mentioned it to you, she must have revealed something to you. My little aunt has never been married, and even, well, you'll find out when you meet her. My dad always thought that Jenny might have been caught by me too. Because of the influence of my little aunt, I have been reluctant to have a boyfriend." Anthony said, and asked again, "So, when are you going to marry Jenny?"

Simon didn't hesitate and said, "As long as Jenny is willing, I can do it anytime. I'm not too resistant to marriage."

"Then finish it within two years as much as possible," Anthony continued to urge, not politely, "You know, Jenny is 28 years old this year, and Mom and Dad hope she can get married before she is 30."

Simon replied, "Okay."

Anthony looked at Simon carefully for a moment, then smiled and said: "Actually, you are only twenty years old this year, and two years later, you will only be twenty-two years old, and you are still very young. Young people are always a little playful, as long as you don't indulge too much. Just, and more importantly, stay out of the media’s eye as much as possible.”

Simon smiled speechlessly, of course he knew what Anthony was referring to.

Anthony didn't stop the topic and continued: "Jenny is actually very stubborn, or very stubborn, which is exactly the same as my little aunt. So, since she chose you, she will definitely not change, I hope you don't let her down Moreover, her character should not urge you to get married, you must take the initiative in this matter."

Simon nodded again: "I will."
