In a luxury house in the western suburbs of Boston, Weston.

It was the early morning of May 11th.

on Monday.

When the man got up, he was shy and woke up, he continued to pretend to be asleep, so he fell asleep again. It was an hour later when he woke up again.

You can't stay in bed any longer.

When I sat up, it was already seven o'clock. I could feel the light coming out of the gaps in the curtains. The sunshine on the east coast of the United States in early summer was just right and the temperature was appropriate. However, when I smelled a certain tempting fragrance that still remained in the air, Maria still felt a little hot.

The little man stayed here last night and didn't do the bad thing he should have done, just let her and Uriyana play their own way, and then did another bad thing.

I gently covered my chest, and I don’t know if it’s enough to feed the child later.

Looking at the side, Uriyana Meretskova was sleeping soundly. This bad woman deliberately bullied her fiercely to please him last night. Maria couldn't help but hate her again. At this time, she was still cautiously worried that she would not worry about the other party.

I got off the bed lightly, washed up, and came downstairs.

It's Monday, and Maria didn't have classes in the morning. I remember Uriyana. I was thinking about waiting and still want to wake her up. Maria is very pious and serious about being a teacher in a world-class school like Harvard. It's obvious that Uriyana is not so concerned, but it seems... it seems that Uriyana's class is quite a reason for students.

Because Maria teaches a relatively niche Ukrainian language, while Ulyana is in mathematics.

Moreover, even Maria, who has no desire to win or lose, has to admit that even though Maria doesn't think she is much worse than Ulyanna in terms of appearance, but in terms of temperament, Ulyanna can indeed get her away from her far away.

Simon has already eaten in the restaurant.

Maria was led by the waitress to a small restaurant in the villa. The man sat at the dining table, with two strollers on the left and right, each of whom was taking care of him, and there was also a whimpering sound of a baby.

Subconsciously speed up and come to your baby accurately.

Maria looked at her son who was holding her feet in the stroller. Her expression was soft and she was a little nervous. She was worried that he would think that he was only caring about his children. Then she turned to the other side and looked at him. Seeing him looking over, she took the initiative to speak: "Mike will be 1 year old soon. Can you come and celebrate his birthday with him?"

Michael Westero, Uriyana's child, was born on May 20 last year, two months earlier than Maria's Daniel.

Simon signaled the woman to sit down beside her and said, "I'll look at the time, but it's very likely that I won't come."

Maria was a little disappointed, which means that when his Daniel celebrated his first birthday on July 11, he probably wouldn't come.

The waitress moved the stroller to the side and pulled out a chair for her. Maria sat down next to the man and responded to the question of what the waitress wanted to eat for breakfast. She turned her head and looked at him again, and asked again: "What have you been doing recently?"

Simon knew that women didn't actually care about this matter, and smiled and said, "You are busy, all kinds of busy, the daily life of trillionaires, what about you, how are Victor and the others doing recently, and Annette?"

Maria smiled gently. She couldn't feel the gap between herself and the man and the child who made her proud with a mother who was most of her thoughts on the child. It was obviously a good start. The woman unconsciously talked about the children's recent trivial matters. Anton's English speaking is still a bit unsatisfactory. Victor talked about a girlfriend again. The girl seemed too lively and worried. Constantine liked to play basketball and was considering whether to hire a coach for him. He felt that basketball was too easy to use, Barabala.

It was not until Uriyana, who had just woken up, walked into the restaurant, sat down on the other side, and stopped.

The dominance between the two is obvious at a glance.

Maria occasionally felt that she should resist, for example, she should pay more attention to which fund the two of them manage. There are also two children, at least, Uriyanna's own children, who must have spent more time. But every time these thoughts quietly retreated in front of Uriyanna naturally and comforted herself, and it was nothing. Uriyanna is a mathematics researcher and may be better at managing money.

So it became what it is today.

Even Uriyana's other two children were worried about Maria.

The two little guys were also pitiful. They were sent back to Ukraine by Ulyanna, but Ulyanna's relatives didn't care much, and they kept asking Ulyanna for child support, but the woman simply ignored it.

Maria accidentally learned about it, inquired about the situation of the two children in Ukraine, reported to the Dumei Point Manor, and then brought the siblings over by herself.

Uriyana made it clear that she didn't want to worry. Maria rarely got angry at her before she let the woman accept it. However, she was sent to the boarding school and had to come here to stay for two days on weekends.

Every Friday, Maria has to send someone to pick her up, otherwise Uriyana will definitely forget it.

Inside the restaurant.

When Maria remembered this, she realized it.

This is Uriyanna's villa. Look around and it's breakfast time. It's Monday morning again. Where did the poor siblings who should have been here on weekends?

No one was found, so he looked at the other side through the man. Uriyanna was talking to the man about the recent operation of the fund. Seeing her glance at her, she just responded with a little and continued.

Maria had no choice but to have no choice but to be sent away by Uriyana in advance.

However, no matter how hard this woman is, she will never throw her children on the roadside.

But I had a small impulse to complain to a man. I thought about it and gave up. Men would definitely not like women who made small reports in private.

It’s nothing more than putting more effort into it, it’s not a big deal.

After breakfast, I thought it was just a separation, so I asked carefully and learned that the man would go to several universities here today and review some research projects personally.

Maria only had class in the afternoon, and she was looking forward to it. It would be great if she could be with him.

After all, he is his own man. Even if Maria is always shy about this relationship in front of outsiders, since he is already the father of his children, Maria unknowingly treats him as a support in her heart.

Still hold back this idea.

After all, there are two little guys who need to take care of them, and they have to go to the maid's hall here, where did Uriyanna throw the siblings and brothers, and there are many things on his side.

I thought Uriyana, who had classes in the morning, would definitely not be able to go, but when I sent the man away, I found that the other party had also gotten into the car. Maria couldn't help but remind her that the reply she received was that she had already found a substitute teacher and asked for leave today.

Looking at the man's car leaving the manor's gate, Maria, who was standing in front of the villa, finally felt a little aggrieved.

Abominable woman!

Boston not only has Harvard and MIT, but also three other universities that are ranked very high in the United States, forming the five prestigious universities in Boston.

Simon's itinerary today is related to this.

In fact, it is still related to the 3G plan.

Simon has to personally participate in the review of some research projects related to 3G plans. Of course, Simon can only be considered an auditor, and it is mainly approved by a special team of experts, and then Simon pays for the money.

On Monday, Simon was really working non-stop, passing seven projects such as "Mammals' Hibernation Mechanisms" and "High Temperature Superconducting Materials Research" in a row. Until twilight came, he did not stay here anymore, but flew to East Hampton on Long Island by helicopter.

The schedule has been arranged in advance, and it will be left to Grace tonight, and Bryce who came here for the last time.

Tuesday's daytime schedule is similar to Monday, with the goal of several university-related projects in New York.

Simon is now spending money everywhere.

So on Wednesday, I set off again to return to the West Coast.

This is May 13th.

Two things are: the opening of the 51st Cannes Film Festival. In addition to Zhang Guoshi's "Hero", Daenerys has also been shortlisted for two other films this year, and is still a force that Cannes cannot ignore.

The other one is about the other side of the ocean.

Local time is also today. China's China National Offshore Oil Corporation officially announced its plan to conduct an IPO overseas and announced a list of cooperative investment banks. Among them, Wall Street focuses on Solomon, which Simon had known about privately some time ago.

It should be called Solomon Mebon now.

This is a new investment bank after the merger of Citigroup and Traveler Group, and merged its Solomon Brothers and Mebang Retail. Mebang Retail, at first glance, seems to be a supermarket chain, but of course it is not. The retail here is stock and bond distribution.

Backed by the newly merged two major financial and insurance giants, Huaqi and Traveler, the new Solomon American-Bank cannot be underestimated, and CNOOC probably also took this eye on this.

Simon was just watching this.

I know in advance that in addition to the Westeros system having contact with this project in the early stage, Goldman Sachs, Morgan, Lehman and other companies were also very interested, and eventually gave Solomon and American-Bank, which actually offended a lot of people.

Can you imagine whether these people will do anything in private?

After all, because of his current position, Simon's position is the Westeros system, or even that country or himself. Therefore, even if he has a tendency, he will not do anything specifically.

On the second day back to the West Coast, Daenerys Entertainment's first key film "Los Angeles City Secret" premiered at the Los Angeles Chinese Theater. Director Brian De Palma, four male and female protagonists, Hugh Jackman, Brad Pitt, Kevin Spacey and Nicole Kidman all attended the event in great costumes.

Even Hugh Jackman, who is the least famous one, has a very elegant image of a pastor in "Mega Time and Space Contact" last year, which has left a considerable impression on the audience.

This time, he played a cop with a irritable personality and suppressed "Superman" Brad Pitt to become the first male lead, which has caused widespread heated discussions in the media, which has attracted more and more people to pay attention to the movie.

However, the key is actually the movie itself.

On the second day of the premiere, the film's reputation was lifted and Simon personally checked it privately, the new version of "Los Angeles Secret" is no less than the original version, and it did not repeat the mistakes of Palma's "Black Dahlia". The film's comprehensive media score reached 9.1 points, reaching the classic level. "The Hollywood Reporter" also praised it as Brian de Palma's best movie in the past 10 years.

On Friday, May 15, "Located City Secret" officially started on a large scale, with the number of screens reaching 2,934 yuan, which is already a blockbuster-level treatment.

Another thing is the week before the previous station.

From May 8 to May 14, it is worth mentioning that "The Deadly Postcard" cooperating with Fa Ge and Bai Ge Wu. After all, it is the collaboration between two of the most well-known Chinese filmmakers in Hollywood, and has the foundation for projects such as "Face Change" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". In addition, it has a pretty good reputation. The first week of the film reached 18.73 million US dollars. Compared with the cost of 30 million US dollars, as long as the movie will not plummet in the future, it is expected that the box office of about 40 million will be satisfactory even if it is not a surprise. After all, if you buy such results overseas, you can recover the cost.

After the box office was released in the first week, Paramount celebrated it on Friday night.

Entering the weekend, I will return to Cannes, and "Hero" premiered with Cannes this Saturday.

According to a common practice in a certain film festival, the earlier the film is released, the less likely it is to win awards. This time, the Cannes Film Festival is expected to last 13 days, and the director will not end on May 25. "Hero" will be premiered on May 16. When the film festival closes, it will almost be forgotten by the audience.

However, this is actually the effect Daenerys Entertainment wants.

Mr. Zhang is obviously very attentive about the quality of "Hero", which is undoubtedly a lot worse than winning the award. After all, compared with Mr. Zhang's previous movies, this "Hero" has a strong commercial atmosphere. Cannes also knows this well. This time, the acceptance of "Hero" into the main competition unit was only to win over famous filmmakers and at the same time increase popularity for the film festival.

As for giving a prize, it is impossible.

After all, I have given it once last year's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" twice in a row, and everyone will have opinions.

Therefore, in the final analysis, this time is just a promotion of "Heroes", which is considered a film festival premiere, and then a wave of hype, so that everyone who should know knows that such a movie will be around the corner, which is enough.

As for the impact of not winning the award in the film festival on the movie?

Actually not that serious.

In China, a super blockbuster with an investment of US$30 million is equivalent to 250 million. Just this gimmick is enough for many people to enter the theater this summer.
Chapter completed!
