Simon did not want the news of his contact with the Hurst family to be leaked. The agreed lunch was not arranged in the high-rise restaurant inside the cinema, but chose a lounge in the office building of No. 1 of the administrative district.

The agreed lunch time is 12 o'clock.

Patty Hurst and Lydia Hurst arrived early at 11:30. Simon did not ask the mother and daughter to wait too long and arrived five minutes in advance.

Patty Hurst has obviously dressed up carefully and wore a black short-sleeved long skirt that shows off his figure. This year, a woman who happened to be 40 years old has lived in a wealthy family since she was a child. Apart from the accident that year, she has not experienced any hardships and tempers of life. Both her appearance and figure are completely at the level of a young woman in her 30s.

During the handshake and greeting, he felt the aggressive gaze of the man in front of him looking at him without any concealment. Patty Hurst couldn't much hate for this young man who had suppressed her family to the brink of collapse. Instead, he couldn't help but take a light breath while holding the man's powerful big hand. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little, and his eyes didn't dare to look at the other party.

When the man let go of his right hand, Patty Hurst even felt a little lost.

Simon just greeted Patty Hurst briefly and turned to the little girl next to the woman who had a figure and started to snatch her: "Hi, Lil, do you still remember me?"

In addition to increasing his height a lot, Lydia Hurst still gave Simon the feeling that he looked like the little witch he first saw at the birthday party of Sophia's daughter Gemma Fisey, with petite face, short lips, and a pair of green eyes that could speak.

Lydia Hurst was not as restrained as her mother in front of Simon. Seeing the man talking to him, he completely ignored the mother and grandfather’s explanation in advance, nodded his head, but suddenly asked a little, "Simon, do you want our family to be ruined?"

Simon listened to the little girl using the word "Finished", but nodded with a smile: "The key is that first of all, your family wants to let me finish first."

Lydia's mouth sagged, her short lips began to lengthen, and she had a tendency to transform into a little witch. She looked at Simon with unconcealed condemnation, as if you were a big villain and a bad guy.

Patty Hurst did not expect that his daughter would offend Westeros as soon as he met. He was stunned for a moment before he realized and hurriedly said, "Mr. Westeros, Diya did not mean it, don't mind."

Simon smiled and looked at the little girl: "Lier, did you do it on purpose?"

The little girl completely ignored her mother's hint and nodded, "Yes."

Patty Hurst angrily pulled his daughter and scolded: "Dia, apologize to Mr. Westeros."

Lydia felt her mother's harsh expression almost never felt, and she immediately showed a strong expression of grievance, looking like she was about to cry, but she stubbornly refused to apologize to Simon.

Simon didn't have the idea of ​​seeing the little girl as much as she saw her. She just shrugged, raised her hand and made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Sit down."

The three of them sat down at the dining table. Girl A personally pushed a dining cart in and served several dishes on the table.

Simon noticed Patty Hurst's curiosity when he smelled the food in the air and explained with a smile: "Eat Chinese food today."

As an increasing employee benefits, Daenerys Cinema and Universal Studios in Burbank have upgraded the restaurant, adding dishes from different countries, and specially invited several top chefs as chefs. The chef of Daenerys Cinema Chinese Restaurant is Simon, who hired people from the other side of the ocean, so they can make very authentic Chinese food.

In fact, it is Simon's selfishness.

The key reason why Simon has not cared about what he eats for so many years is that as an oriental person at heart, he has never been able to fully adapt to the Western food system.

Of course not everyone can enjoy these benefits.

Simon's originality for employees in the Westeros system has never changed. I will give you as much as you pay.

Similarly, in the Westeros system, a person enjoys the kind of treatment he or she is in. Therefore, ordinary employees can only enjoy batch-cooked ordinary dishes in employee restaurants. Moreover, depending on the level, the catering subsidies provided by the group are also different. The higher-level management can also use a separate high-rise restaurant. Further up, the group's core executives can customize their favorite dishes from the restaurant chef.

On the other hand, the medical, education and other benefits that will be upgraded in the Westeros system will also be of clear hierarchy.

Simon won't cover it up too much. He is just deliberately creating a clear-level injustice. If someone can't stand this injustice, he will either work hard to climb up, or leave the Westeros system to find the fairness he wants.

Through the continuous improvement of this hierarchy for many years in the future, Simon's ultimate goal is to build a pyramid-shaped ‘Westerosian’ system that is independent of the current social system and has a stable structure.

On the dining table in the lounge.

Very authentic Chinese food, three dishes and one soup, Kung Pao chicken that is very familiar to Westerners, a portion of crispy roast duck, a portion of tomato beef, and finally a simple fresh vegetable soup. The soup has been divided into three portions. Girl A finally put down three trays of shamweed and quietly withdrew.

Simon waited for the A-skin to leave, and asked the little girl opposite him with a smile, who was still wearing a face: "Lier, can you use chopsticks?"

Lydia was very dissatisfied with a guy calling him "Lier". However, after his mother got angry with him just now, the little girl did not dare to be arrogant anymore. Seeing the man opposite him skillfully picking up a pair of chopsticks, the little girl followed suit as if she was competing, but she didn't obey the two small sticks in her hand no matter what. When she noticed that her mother also picked up the chopsticks in a similar manner, Lydia became even more angry, put down the chopsticks in depression, stared at the two adults angrily, intending to go on a hunger strike to protest.

Patty Hurst felt that Simon Westeros should like her daughter's aura, so she simply stopped regulating her own food with her eyebrows down and looked at her food. She seemed to have no idea about her daughter's anger.

Simon felt the little girl staring like a cat, smiled, put down her chopsticks and picked up the knife and fork, and said, "Okay, let's use the knife and fork, let your mother use those two weird things by herself."

Lydia then picked up the knife and fork, carefully tasted a few portions of the food on the plate, and then said without hesitation: "Strange, it's not delicious at all."

Simon seemed patient: "You can try the shabby."

Although the taste is contrary to previous meals, it cannot be said that it is not delicious. But when I heard Simon's suggestion, my sister-in-law could instinctively develop a rebellious mentality, deliberately not touching the trunk of shabby, and continue to deal with the food in front of her. Occasionally, she would look up and make an expression that she didn't like at all at all at all at all at all at the time.

Only half an hour later, when the meal was over, the little girl had unknowingly wiped out the food on the plate, and in the end she didn't even let go of the three beef and shabby in the cage.

Simon summoned Girl A to come in and pack the tableware, and said to the little girl who was obviously unsatisfied with her face: "If you want to have Chinese food in the future, you can come to Los Angeles."

Lydia despised: "Mr. Westeros, our family is very rich, and we can afford it myself."

Simon nodded and seemed to say casually: "It seems that in order to make Lil come to Los Angeles often in the future, I can only make you unable to afford Chinese food as much as possible."

Patty Hurst felt tight when he heard the man's words.

Of course, the 10-year-old girl was not completely ignorant of the world. Seeing Simon say this, she immediately looked over angrily.

But Simon had already stood up and said, "Let's go and talk to my office."

The mother and daughter had to get up and come outside the lounge. Simon signaled Girl A to look at Gu Lydia for a while, but only took Patty Hurst into their office.

About twenty minutes later, Patty Hurst walked out of the men's office and left with his daughter.

He got into the family's car directly downstairs. When the car drove out of the cinema, Lydia suddenly asked her mother beside her and said, "Mom, are you sleeping with Simon Westeros?"

Patty Hurst reacted from the daze and glared at his daughter: "Who taught you these?"

Lydia curled her lips, but looked up and down at her mother and said, "So, is the trouble in our family over?"

Patty Hurst's tone was trembling slightly, and he raised his voice and said to his daughter, "Don't ask about these messy things again, or I'll send you to the boarding school."

Lydia curled her lips disapprovingly: "If my mother couldn't handle that guy, I might not even be able to afford the boarding school in the future."

Patty Hearst fell silent.

I can't help but recall the situation I was in that man's office just now.

The two entered the office. Simon Westeros just signaled her to sit down at will, and after turning to the desk, she started work directly. After waiting patiently for five or six minutes, she had to speak on her own and convey her father's desire for reconciliation. As a result, the man just looked at her and smiled awkwardly, asking her if she wanted to reconcile with just a few words.

Then, she noticed the man's gaze, remembering the other party's preferences in women and the father's harsh advice before this lunch, she just hesitated a little and took the initiative to move towards the man.

seem.

I'm not too resistant inside.

I even vaguely hope that men can be more rude.

However, after she was already very proactive, the man did not do anything, but gave her a dollar coin and asked her to pass it on to her father, asking what she could buy for so much money, and saying that they only had one chance.

In the end she just left his office with a coin.

Leaving Malibu and returning to a mansion of the Bellehurst family, Patty Hurst handed the coins to Randolph Hurst and also told Simon's message.

What can I buy for 1 dollar?

If it is just literal, the members of the Hurst family, who have been famous for a hundred years, are not very clear about it.

However, Randolph Hurst quickly understood Simon Westero's intention to ask his daughter to transfer the $1 dollar.

At this point in the conflict between the two sides, if the Hurst family wants to reconcile, it is impossible to just send a woman. Even if they send a mother and daughter to Simon Westeros, they don’t think about easily resolving anything. The only feasibility is to give enough substantial compensation.

Simon Westeros took out $1, just to make this compensation a deal on the surface.

As for what the Hurst family can pay Simon Westeros, there is probably nothing else that can be attracted by the other party except the media assets of the Hurst Group.

Having a result that was not a dead end, Randolph Hurst quickly returned to the East Coast and summoned family members to discuss which assets under the group should be sold to Simon Westeros for $1 and what conditions needed to be exchanged for.

Then, there was inevitably serious disagreement within the family on this matter.

Given the extent to which Hurst Group offended Simon Westeros in the past, many members of the Hurst family knew that the compensation should not be too low than the total amount of US$370 million in the six lawsuits manipulated by the Westeros system. However, now the assets of Hurst Group have been severely reduced in a series of storms. If a large number of assets are easily cedeed to Westeros, no one will be very willing.

What is even more confusing is that Westeros only gave them one chance to bid, leaving no room for bargaining.

This made the family members hesitate even more.

Things have developed to this point, and they don't think Simon Westeros is just bluffing.

As a result, the original opportunity to break the deadlock suddenly became unparalleled.

However, the outside world did not stop attacking the Hurst Group because of the differences within the Hurst family.

Every day afterwards, bad news came from Hurst Group. On May 11, several senior executives of Hurst Group could not bear the pressure from outside. Because the Hurst family lacked the backbone to support the overall situation, they simply gave up the lead and submitted their resignation letter together.

Now everyone is calling for the Hurst Group. These senior executives realize that if they continue to stay, their careers may sink to the bottom of the sea with this broken ship, so they will not leave if they stop.

With the resignation of senior executives, many middle- and low-level managers and even ordinary employees of Hurst Group also chose to escape, continuing to make this old media group worse.

On May 13, bad news came again. A famous New York law firm responsible for resisting the bombing of the Westeros system for Hurst Group, also suddenly announced that it would withdraw from the case it was responsible for and lost the support of a strong legal team. Hurst Group suddenly became passive in the lawsuit.

The once arrogant Hurst Group was already in a turmoil in the dispute with the Westeros system. Since the outbreak of the Doris Fitcher murder scandal in early May, it has been in less than half a month and has been in a state of disintegration.

Of course, it is not that no one is on the side of the Hurst Group.

At first, he was indignant and joined forces with many newspaper industry unions that had been closed for class action lawsuits against Hearst Group by more than 1,100 employees of the three newspapers. He realized that the situation in Hearst Group was getting worse and worse, and finally he could not calm down.

You know, the entire Hurst Group is related to the jobs of more than 20,000 employees.

If the Hurst Group falls apart or even goes bankrupt, the Hurst family, which has deep foundations, may not become a pauper at once. The more than 20,000 employees under the Hurst Group may lose their jobs in this incident.

Moreover, under the background of the accelerated decline of the traditional paper media industry under the pressure of the rise of the Internet industry, it will be very difficult for these employees to lose their current jobs and find a new job of the same type.

The Hurst family has completely discredited their reputation because of the Doris Fercher murder scandal. The newspaper industry unions dare not speak for each other openly. However, under the coordination of several large unions, someone still submitted a petition to the White House, hoping that the President could intervene in this matter and prevent tens of thousands of families from falling into unemployment due to the loss of the Hurst family.
