Paris, France, the time is April 2.

After finishing their honeymoon trip from west to east along the Mediterranean coast, the northern part of the European continent has also entered the spring season. Simon and Janet, who are still enjoying themselves, flew to stay temporarily in a manor in the western suburbs of Paris.

As soon as the black car drove into this manor covering an area of ​​more than 50 acres, Madonna couldn't help but look around through the car window with envy in her eyes.

Madonna is also a person who likes to buy real estate. However, she knows in her heart that she will never be able to buy such a real estate in the suburbs of Paris as casually as Westeros. She may only live there for a few days every year.

.

After several attempts, Madonna was finally able to make an appointment to meet Simon today for her upcoming 'Blonde Ambition' concert, which will kick off on April 13th.

During the filming of "Pulp Fiction", Simon promised to be a guest guitarist at her concert. As Simon's power and wealth continued to increase, Madonna was not sure whether she would fulfill her promise.

Fortunately, Westeros has no intention of going back on his words.

After getting Simon's affirmative reply, Madonna couldn't wait to reveal the matter in an interview, and it immediately aroused strong attention from fans. Simon's guest appearance is a big gimmick for the upcoming tour, so even though it has already

During the most critical period of concert preparation, Madonna decided to come to Europe in person to talk to Simon face to face.

The car shuttled between the roads for a while, and finally stopped in front of the manor's grand main villa.

The driver opened the door, Madonna got out of the car, and a young girl wearing an OL-style professional suit came over in front of the villa and said politely: "Miss Cicconi, I am Claire, please come with me."

Madonna was a little curious about the identity of this girl. She followed her into the villa and saw another tall girl in the same dress in the living room. She roughly understood what she was talking about, but she was even more confused. Janet Johnston, well, that should be Janet now.

T. Westeros, you are so generous, placing such beautiful vases next to your man.

With this in mind, Madonna followed the girl named Claire to a study room on the first floor of the villa. Simon, Janet, and another middle-aged man and woman were discussing something in a low voice around an architectural model on a workbench in the study room.

.

Take a general glance.

The building model on the workbench seems to be a building, but it is a round building and there seems to be no windows on the outside. It looks very strange.

Seeing her come in, the four of them ended their conversation. After everyone briefly greeted them, the middle-aged man and woman took the initiative to leave.

"C, go and see Mr. Stone and Ms. Anderson off, and ask D to deliver some drinks. By the way, Maggie, what do you want to drink?"

"I, coffee is fine."

Simon nodded, told Claire a few words, sent the middle-aged man and woman out of the study, and motioned for Madonna to sit down on the sofa.

Janet waited for the middle-aged man and woman to leave and said, "You guys talk, I'll go upstairs to rest for a while."

Madonna quickly stood up again and watched Janet leave the study, leaving only her and Simon. Then she sat down again and found a topic: "C and D, are there A and B?"

Simon sat down opposite Madonna and said with a smile: "Yes, they went to the city, see you when they come back."

In her tone, she felt that Simon was still the big boy he once was and had not alienated her because of his change in identity. Madonna relaxed and joked half-seriously: "A, B, C, D, Jenny, is it true?"

Aren't you worried about what will happen between you and them?"

"Jenny feels that if the maids we find are too ugly, what happens to me and them will be even more embarrassing."

Madonna thought about it and it seemed to make sense. However, she always felt that something was wrong. After noticing the architectural model on the workbench, she simply changed the topic and said: "What is that, a building?"

"Doomsday Shelter."

"Um?"

Simon repeated: "A doomsday shelter is a temporary refuge in the event of unexpected disasters such as nuclear war, famine, and epidemics."

All right.

Madonna felt that she and the man in front of her might not be on the same plane.

Simon finished his explanation seriously, with a smile on his face again, and added: "You have to know that the higher the upper class, the more people suffer from doomsday phobia. This is not because they are more afraid of death than ordinary people.

Rather, they know that the world is far less safe than ordinary people imagine. Devastating disasters can happen at any time."

During this period, after several months of negotiations with the Tasmanian government, Simon finally obtained another 6,000 square kilometers of land in Tasmania, Australia. Counting the previously purchased properties, Simon already owned nearly 10,000 square kilometers of Tasmanian land.

% of the land.

When he jokingly discussed building a doomsday shelter in Tasmania with Janet, Simon almost forgot about it, but Janet kept reporting on it.

Janet, who was looking forward to the end of the world in her bones, did not have a phobia of doomsday. The woman just found this matter interesting, so Simon let her hire someone to start planning.

During the month of their honeymoon, the two of them were like children playing with Lego blocks. With the help of a professional team, they designed the model of the doomsday shelter on the workbench.

The shelter is planned to be built in the mountains and forests of Tasmania, with a depth of more than 50 meters. It can indeed resist nuclear companies. The internal space and storage materials are enough for 10 people to live self-sufficiently for 5 years. It is initially estimated that it will cost

$20 million.

Although everything is very formal, in fact, this is a big toy that Simon and Janet built out of curiosity.

For example, now, after listening to Simon's explanation, Madonna tried her best not to look like "you rich people are so boring".

At this time, another girl came in with a tray, squatted next to a short table, put a glass of orange juice in front of Simon, poured another cup of coffee for Madonna, and then quietly exited the study.

A, B, C, D, Alison, Betsy, Claire, Deborah, the four girls were the flight attendants that Janet began to choose after ordering the Boeing 767. In addition to their good qualifications and academic qualifications, the four girls

People also received various types of training from flight attendants to nurses under Janet's arrangement, and these trainings are still being carried out to this day.

Because they were so easy to use, Simon simply let them become full-time maids.

Of course, Simon is also very generous in terms of salary.

The four girls only need to work full-time for Simon for five years. In addition to the high annual salary of US$200,000, after five years there will be a bonus equal to the total salary of the previous five years. In other words, the four girls only need to work

In five years, you can get 2 million US dollars, which is a salary that most ordinary people cannot earn in a lifetime.

For the sake of personal privacy, Simon's various properties in Europe and North America no longer hire young girls as cleaners based on Simon's original bad taste. Instead, they have established a strict confidentiality agreement under the management of the housekeeper.

At the same time, it also has a more professional service team.

After the girl left, Madonna took a sip of coffee and turned to the topic: "Simon, have you read the concert information I sent you a few days ago?"

"Of course," Simon said, holding an orange juice and leaning on the back of the sofa, "Four months, 60 concerts, one every two days on average, you are really working hard."

According to the schedule provided by Madonna for the 'Blonde Ambition' global tour, in four months from April to August, Madonna will hold 60 consecutive concerts in more than 20 cities in Japan, North America and Europe.

It can be said to be non-stop.

The average frequency of one performance every two days is a great test of the singer's ability.

Madonna smiled and followed Simon's words: "So, how about you do one more guest appearance for me?"

Simon is also very talkative: "No problem, let's talk about appearance fees."

Madonna immediately shrank her neck.

Just kidding.

Simon westeros appearance fee.

The original commitment as a guest guitarist was just a verbal agreement, and Madonna actually considered this issue before she came.

If Simon really wants an appearance fee, she probably won't be able to afford it. You know, the average box office revenue for each of the planned 60 concerts may be less than $1 million. Westeros only makes guest appearances.

For one of them, if you really think about it, giving all the box office to this guy might not be enough.

Simon was just joking.

After saying that, he stood up, walked to the desk, picked up a folder, returned, handed it to Madonna and said: "Here is a song. Counting the next guest appearance, we will clear everything, so you don't have to be like a debt collector every time in the future.

.As for the guest guitarist, I will be returning to North America in the next few days. I will definitely not be able to go to Japan. The specific guest performance depends on my schedule. However, don’t worry, as long as the schedule is confirmed, I will spare some time.

I participated in the rehearsal on the same day.”

Madonna listened to Simon's words and couldn't wait to open the folder.

The original agreement was to be a guest guitarist for two songs and one concert.

Simon had already given one song to "Celebration", and there was still one song left. He had mentioned it several times before, but the man just excused it by saying he needed inspiration.

Now I finally have to pay off the debt.

The first thing I saw was the song title: "Bad Romance"

Bad romance.

Just the name, Madonna feels very much in line with her own style.

Next comes the lyrics and music score.

After browsing through it roughly, Madonna started humming it without realizing it, and then discovered that this song was perfect for stage performance. Madonna had already begun to conceive of the stage design while humming.

However, as she watched, Madonna suddenly hesitated.

This song can definitely support an album.

Perhaps, it should be the main title of my next album, and the album name can even be called "Bad Romance".

Although there is no concept of brainwashing songs yet, Madonna can feel that this song will definitely become popular very easily. So, as long as it is done well, it can easily become a record with sales in the tens of millions.

I really don’t know how many things are hidden in the belly of this greedy little man in front of me.

Thinking of this, Madonna finally raised her head, glanced at Simon and said, "Well, I saw that the word 'Gaga' was used a lot in the lyrics. What does it mean?"

Simon explained casually: "I forgot where I heard it, but it's the lyrics of a song, and it feels very rhythmic when used here."

That's right.
