"10 million dollars, it's a squander. My father founded Motorola in 1928 and accumulated sixty years. The Galvin family is also a small net worth, but I still can't imagine how a party spent 10 million dollars. This is as ridiculous as Westeros has earned more than a billion dollars in just a few months. I think the first thing the Brady Committee should investigate is Simon Westeros, to find out this matter, we I probably understand the reason for the stock market crash last year."

"Mr. Galvin, all of Westero's transaction records last year have been made public, and no one has found any violations."

"Jim, do you really believe the data in the media?"

"I can only say that, Mr. Galvin, I did not see another completely different relevant information published. It involves a huge amount of more than one billion US dollars. I believe that the Federal Investigation Agency must have carried out Westeros. After a very detailed review. If Westero’s transaction last year was really suspected of a violation, he may be spending his 20th birthday in prison now.”

"I still don't think he is innocent, otherwise, this can only be said to be the most tragic event in the history of federal finance. So many people work hard for a lifetime, and generations may not be able to accumulate too much wealth. The young man It took only five months, can you imagine? Five months, $1.6 billion," Motorola chairman Robert Galvin became more and more excited on the TV screen, and he gestured wildly, saying: " Then he started to behave like a bastard who suddenly inherited a large sum of money, bought planes and mansions indiscriminately, and spent $10 million on a birthday party at once."

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

"Westeros can do something more meaningful, he is an orphan, everyone knows this, he grew up with the support of the federal social welfare system. But now, no one sees him trying Give back to this country, give back to those who paid taxes to provide him with food, accommodation and education. I heard that many charities tried to contact him, but no one got a response. His indifference to charity is almost chilling."

"Mr. Galvin, can I think that you are just grinning because Westero sold Motorola stock. As far as I know, before the sale of Simon Westero, Motorola’s share price exceeded $75, but in recent Monthly, this number has been hovering around $60. Correspondingly, the share prices of many companies held by Westeros have continued to rise. Moreover, I have heard that you have been attacked by the Motorola board of directors, and it may be possible in the near future. resignation."

"No, no, these are of course not true. Motorola's share price has indeed been disturbed by Westero's sell-off, but this has not affected our company's performance. Last year, Motorola's net profit exceeded $300 million. In my opinion, the stock price is only temporary, and it can create profits for shareholders. This is the fundamental of a company. In addition, as for me, I am 66 years old this year. I was thinking about considering retirement a few years ago. It has nothing to do with the Westeros sell-off."

"..."

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

Janet walked into Simon's study room and listened to a few interviews with Motorola chairman Robert Galvin on the TV. When Simon was on the phone and the line hung up, he picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. He said: "You I like to hear people talk about you in person?"

Starting this morning, both mainstream media and gossip tabloids are using various eye-catching headlines to discuss Simon’s birthday party last night.

Pat Kingsley called in the morning and reported some media developments that Simon needed to know. Finally, he laughed that he would be busy with the party for a long time to calm down the impact of this party.

Simon sat at his desk and wrote something in his notebook, saying, "I know that someone in this world hates you, but it's still very inspiring. Is your brother here?"

Janet leaned her arms on the table, leaning forward slightly and said, "I have a few minutes to come to see if you have finished calling."

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

Today is February 23, and the screenwriter strike date in Simon's memory is March 7.However, the strike of the American screenwriter union is naturally impossible for the WGA executives to arbitrarily shoot their heads and also need to vote for members. Because WGA members distributed in North America and even overseas need to send the vote by post, this process usually takes two weeks.

Janet apparently listened with little interest, waiting for Simon to stand up, holding the man’s arm and about to leave the study, but then pointed at the TV and said, “Although you don’t care about the old man’s remarks, but I think You should also set up some charity funds and the like, even if you do it. This kind of thing is always unavoidable, otherwise there will definitely be more people attacking you with this thing in the future."

Simon was really cold on charity because of some things in his memory. However, he did not object to Janet’s suggestion, saying: “Okay, just call the Simon & Janet Foundation, you can take care of me.”

Janet shook her head: "No, it should be the Simon & Janet Westeros Foundation."

"Well, the nouns are longer so that people can notice."

"Oh, I don't mean that."

He laughed and came to the kitchen of the villa, just brought the prepared lunch into the dining room, and the doorbell rang.

The two greeted them together. Although they had no special feeling beforehand, they really saw Janet's family. Simon was inevitably restrained.

Anthony Johnston looks older than his actual age. He wears a stiff grey suit and is about the same height as Simon. He has a short beard on his face. Some characteristics between the eyebrows can clearly be seen from Janet. family.

After embracing Janet, Anthony Johns gently shook hands with Simon and offered a gift to congratulate Simon on his 20th birthday: "It could have arrived yesterday, and a business partner in London was in a deal I had to postpone the temptation and had to postpone it until now. Simon, happy birthday."

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

The three of them walked towards the villa together, but Janet snatched the gift box from Simon's hands without hesitation, took it apart while walking, took out a watch in the box, and looked carefully, only to be satisfied: "It's pretty good , Dad’s collection. I thought you would buy a gift at the airport."

Anthony Johnston listened to her sister's ridicule, but said to Simon: "It should always be a headache to get along with Jenny. She likes mischief too much."

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

Janet was somewhat dissatisfied with Simon's ambiguous answer and said, "What is'okay'?"

"That is, occasionally a headache, not so frequently."

Janet grabbed Simon's arm: "If you want, I will make you headache every day."

Although the Neil Bennett and Ken Dixon were passed in advance, the Johnston family has got a lot of information about Simon and the emotional development of Simon and Janet. Anthony Johnston noticed his sister at this time The kind of intimacy revealed unconsciously with this young man is truly relieved.

After a short break, the three of them sat in the restaurant.

The atmosphere of lunch is very relaxed, everyone just casually chat about various trivia.

It was already one o’clock in the afternoon after lunch. Janet rarely took the initiative to take care of the tableware. Anthony Johnston proposed to chat with Simon alone, and the two came to the terrace on the cliff by the sea.

The mansion is located on the west side of Dumei Cape Park, standing by the railing of the terrace. In addition to the beautiful sea and sky beauty in front of you, there are some abrupt sharp corners not far from the left hand side.

Anthony Johnston looked at the sharp cliff and said, "It's a good place to build a mansion."

Simon concisely said: "State Park."

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

Simon hesitated a little, then nodded and said, "Well, I will find a way to take it down. It is really suitable for building a manor. The sharp corner manor, um, this name seems not very suitable. Since it is Dumei Cape Park, in the future Just call Dumei Cape Manor."

Anthony Johnston glanced at Simon, and said with a smile: "You have long been in the land, right?"

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

Anthony Johnston smiled and stopped talking about it. He suddenly changed the subject: "Simon, do you remember your parents' information?"

Simon froze for a moment and shook his head: "I don't remember."

Anthony Johnston hesitated and said quickly: "I don't know why. The first time I saw your picture, I had a feeling. It just became clearer when I saw you in person. However, I I can’t tell what this feeling is. It seems like we’ve seen it before, but it’s definitely not possible. You should have been in San Francisco before the age of 18, but I’ve only been to San Francisco three times since I was a kid.”

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

"Perhaps," Anthony nodded. "Actually, I specifically hired a detective company to investigate your parents' information. I mean possible information. I don't have any malicious intentions. I hope you don't mind. However, these investigations No results. You were picked up by a policeman on the roadside when you were five years old and sent to the welfare home, but before the age of five, there was no record of your personal identity. Do you remember what happened before that time?"

Simon really does not mind, he is also very curious about his past, if the Johnston family can find out, then he just happens to have no more energy to waste.

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

"Then forget it, it is said that there have always been people who claim that your parents tried to recognize their relatives, and you have not responded. I think, you did not have the idea of ​​looking for your parents," Anthony said, suddenly looking at Simon, asking: " Do you hate them?"

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

"So, I am very curious, what drives you to be yourself now?" Anthony asked another question: "Be aware that without enough thoughts, it is difficult for a person living at the bottom of the society to achieve your current level. Yes, most of them are more likely to just follow the trend or get worse."

"I haven't considered this question carefully, Tony," Simon shook his head. "If you really want an answer, maybe, it's just that I want to live better, better than most people."

"It's not very reasonable," Anthony said. "However, since you don't want to explain, I won't ask too much. In fact, the only thing I care about when coming here today is when you plan to marry my sister. Of course, this is actually It’s also my mom and dad’s biggest concern, they don’t want two old girls in our family who can’t marry.”

Simon wondered: "Two?"

Anthony Johnston froze for a while, and smiled: "I... and an aunt, my grandfather's daughter, my dad's sister. It was just that she was born very late, younger than me. You should know?"

Simon nodded and said, "She, um, Jenny and I mentioned that, did she not get married?"

"Since Jenny mentioned it to you, she must have revealed some things to you. My little aunt has never been married, even, um, you will know when you see her in the future. My dad always thinks that Jenny may have received me too The influence of the young aunt has always been unwilling to make a boyfriend." Anthony said, asking again: "So, when are you going to marry Jenny?"

Simon didn't hesitate and said, "As long as Jenny wants, I can do it at any time. I'm not too resistant to marriage."

"Then do this as soon as possible within two years," Anthony is also welcome, and continues to urge: "You know, Jenny is 28 years old, and Mom and Dad hope she can get married before 30."

Simon promised: "Okay."

Anthony looked at Simon for a moment, then smiled again: "Actually, you are only twenty years old this year, and only twenty-two years old two years later, and still very young. Young people are always a little playful, as long as you don't indulge too much On the line, and more importantly, avoid the media’s sight as much as possible."

Simon smiled blankly. He certainly knew what Anthony was referring to.

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

Simon nodded again: "I will."
