Chapter 747

Two hours later, Terry Semel came to East Hampton by car. The car was parked on a small road one kilometer away from Eric Manor. Terry Semel took out his mobile phone and called Eric. The private call was answered by a woman with a soft voice. After a while, the phone was transferred to Eric, and Terry Semel said that he happened to pass by East Hampton and asked if he could come to visit.

There was nothing unusual about Eric's tone on the phone, and he agreed very enthusiastically.

Hanging up the phone, the driver in the front row looked at Terry Semel: "Mr. Semel, are you going over now?"

"No, wait ten minutes," Terry Semel put away the phone and said, although both parties knew it well, they still had to be careful.

The driver nodded, simply turned off the fire and waited patiently.

Terry Semel leaned on the leather seat and carefully considered how to word the next negotiation. Before he knew it, ten minutes had passed. The driver saw the boss in the rearview mirror and was brooding, thinking about it. No opening reminder.

After another moment, Terry Semel came back to his senses, and was about to tell the driver to drive, when a police car drove straight ahead and stopped not far away. After taking a few glances at the Mercedes-Benz number plate, he stepped forward and knocked on the window of the cab.

The driver dropped the glass window suspiciously and was about to speak, but the police officer outside the window was pleasantly surprised: "Tony, it's you."

"Hey, Loki," the driver greeted excitedly when he saw the police investigation outside the window, turned his head to the rear and said to Terry Semel: "Sorry, Mr. Semel, wait a moment, please. Loki was my former comrade-in-arms."

Terry Semel waved his hand and said it was okay, and the driver hurriedly pushed the door and got out of the car.

Considering that the boss was waiting for him, the driver named Tony didn't talk too much. After chatting briefly, he returned to the cab and started the car to drive towards Eric's manor.

"What happened just now?" Terry Semel did not forget to ask, and he also realized that the two police officers would not appear here for no reason.

Tony pointed to the undisguised camera on the light pole outside the window: "That's where they saw us, and Rocky said Eric Williams would donate a lot of money to the East Hampton Police Department every year."

Terry Semel glanced at the camera on the light pole outside the car window, thinking that Eric Williams really cared about the safety of his two illegitimate children.

How low the work efficiency of American police investigations is, it can be seen from their average annual detection rate of only about 20%. His car was only parked for more than ten minutes one kilometer away from the Eric Williams Manor, before being questioned by the police.

The car came to the outside of Eric Manor, and Terry Semel saw a tall woman in a light gray sweater and white jeans waiting at the door, sent the driver to drive away, and got out of the car alone to meet him.

"Mr. Semel, hello," Joanna smiled and shook hands with Terry Semel, explaining, "I'm so sorry, Eric is talking to someone, you may have to wait for a while. "

"Hello, Ms. Pakula," Terry Semel shook hands with Joanna with the same smile, recognizing that it was the female voice who answered the phone not long ago, and said, "I also came to visit on a temporary basis, maybe It's a bit abrupt."

Joanna shook her head and said, "Of course not, please come with me."

Terry Semel followed Joanna towards the manor. Out of the corner of the eye, he looked at the woman who became popular with "Tornado" a few years ago and suddenly died, and turned to the two police officers who had just appeared. Thinking of the two little guys who seldom saw relevant news in the media in the past two years, Terry Semel felt that perhaps Eric Williams' attitude towards these two children was definitely not like those who Rich people who have illegitimate children, and even these two little guys may become the heirs of the Williams family in the future.

Thinking of this, Terry Semel suddenly felt a little regretful. Unfortunately, the child born by Joanna Pakula was a girl, it would be nice if it were a boy. Joanna Pakula is Jewish. According to tradition, that child is considered Jewish. If it is a boy, the inheritance rights will definitely be greatly increased, and in the future, there will be more identification with the Jewish community in Hollywood.

Terry Semel is very clear that his ability to reach the position of CEO of Time Warner today is absolutely inseparable from his Jewish blood. Although this position is not as easy to sit as imagined, in the Time Warner system, many shareholders and board members support him, in addition to personal ability, another very important reason is because they have the same blood.

Following Joanna all the way into the manor villa, Terry Semel didn't have time to look at any of the home decorations in the villa, but was immediately attracted by the little girl sitting by the coffee table in the living room reading a thick tome look.

Joanna noticed Terry Semel's gaze, led him to sit on the sofa, and said to the little girl, "Xiaxia, the guests are here, remember to say hello, this is Mr. Semel."

The little girl sitting on the small stool next to the coffee table quietly reading a book raised her head, her mother's beautiful eyes, pure and bright, soft blonde hair, and a small face with a little baby fat, giving people the feeling of a doll.

The little girl and Terry Semel looked at each other for a while, looked curiously at his rimless glasses for a moment, and then said, "Hello, Mr. Semel."

Terry Semel's eyes fell on the thick tome in front of Hawaii involuntarily. At this time, he saw that it should be one of the "Encyclopedia Britannica". He was a little surprised, but It's not easy to ask, but the tone is more gentle, as if worried about disturbing something, and said: "Hello, um... Xia Xia."

Joanna smiled and explained, "Mr. Semel, this is my daughter, Hawaii Williams. You sit down for a while, Eric will be down soon, and I'll make coffee."

Terry Semel thanked and watched Joanna walk away, his eyes turned between the little girl and the tome, seeing the special focus on the little face, and the mood became strange again. Yes, there is a kind of asking someone, is the "Encyclopedia Britannica" something that a two or three-year-old can understand, or is he old?

After a while, Hawaii quietly turned a page of the book in front of him, read a few paragraphs, and looked up to the side. Mom was not sitting in the original position, and there was a thick English dictionary beside her, just about to get it. , but realized that there was an adult beside him, so he turned his head and asked without any strangeness in his tone: "What does Emperor mean?"

Terry Semel had already seen that the encyclopedia was a division of biology. Hawaii was turning to the entry on the 'Emperor Penguin' page. Hearing the little girl ask himself, Terry Semel realized, The little girl should know the meaning of penguin, but she doesn't know the meaning of the word 'Emperor' in 'Euin (Emperor Penguin)'. English is different from Chinese. Chinese is a pictograph. Even if you can’t read some Chinese characters, you can guess the general meaning according to the shape of the font. However, English belongs to Pinyin. As long as you understand the reading rules, most people can read them. But to understand the meaning of a word, it requires professional explanation.

Well, things finally made sense, although it was still a little unbelievable, but Terry Semel's voice gently and patiently explained to the little guy in front of him: "Emperor means emperor, similar to King, King, you know what? ?"

Hawaii nodded, his little finger pointed to the emperor penguin illustration on the book, and asked, "Have you ever seen an emperor penguin?"

"I don't have that. Emperor penguins live in the very cold Antarctic, where it is difficult for humans to survive."

The little girl blinked and asked, "Since humans can't survive in Antarctica, why do we know that there are emperor penguins in Antarctica?"

The surprise in Terry Semel's heart was once again raised a notch. This question sounds like a philosophical style, but this little guy in front of him looks like he is only two or three years old.

Seeing the little girl staring at him, Terry Semel thought for a moment and said, "Although we can't survive in Antarctica for a long time, we can go somewhere for a short time, and then we can find the emperor penguins. "

Hawaii asked: "How can you survive if you go there for a short time?"

With a smile on his face, Terry Semel said: "We can make a lot of equipment, thick clothes, sturdy houses, and use these things to resist the cold weather of Antarctica, so that we can be there for a short time. survived."

The little girl nodded and said, "Then why don't emperor penguins need these things?"

"Because they have adapted to the environment there after many years of evolution, we humans have no way to adapt and can only use foreign objects."

"Why are we humans inferior to emperor penguins? Can't we... evolve?"

"No, no, little guy, you are wrong about this. We humans are the most outstanding creatures on this planet. The living environment of emperor penguins is very narrow, but we can even leave any corner of the world. This planet, thousands of miles away in space. We can do this because we have intelligence and use intelligence, but other creatures can't."

When Hawaii heard Terry Semel's words, he seemed to understand something, seemed to remember something, and said, "I saw on TV that lions also have intelligence. They can... cooperate to capture prey."

Terry Semel's eyes softened, looking at the thick book in front of the little girl, and said: "No, Xia Xia, that is not wisdom, wisdom, it must be something non-instinctive that can be passed down from generation to generation, lion, Creatures like tigers can't do that."

"Oh," Hawaii nodded, turning his eyes to the book in front of him again.

Terry Semel straightened his body and felt the figure of Joanna holding coffee next to him, and quickly got up slightly.

Joanna listened to the conversation between the two, and then handed over the coffee in her hand and said, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Semel, Xia Xia can sometimes be a little annoying."

"No, of course it doesn't matter," Terry Semel shook his head with a smile. After a brief exchange, Terry Semel found that his irritable mood, which had been irritated by the trivial matters of the group recently, was much calmer. Terry Semel even felt that if he could have a little personal relationship with Eric, he would have the cheek to regard Hawaii as a goddaughter. Of course, unfortunately, this kind of thinking can only be thought about, his current position But it is not allowed to have too much intersection with Eric.

Joanna sat beside and chatted with Terry Semel for a while. Two figures, a man and a woman, walked down the stairs not far away. The man was naturally Eric, and Terry Semel quickly recognized the woman. , is "America's Next Top Model" host Cindy Crawford.

"I'm so sorry, Terry, for making you wait so long," Eric warmly hugged Terry Semel and introduced, "This is Miss Cindy Crawford."

"Hello, Cindy," Terry Semel complimented Cindy Crawford, shaking hands again, "your show is great, and my daughter loves it too."

"Thank you," Cindy Crawford smiled and nodded.

Knowing that several people had something to talk about, Joanna got up, put away the books in front of Hawaii, and dragged the little girl towards the backyard, saying, "Okay, Xia Xia, we agreed to only watch for two hours a day. , now the time has come."

The little girl seemed to follow her mother reluctantly and said, "Mom, I found a problem. I am two years old now and can watch for two hours. When I was three years old, I could watch for three hours..."

Lee Semel even felt that if he could have a little personal relationship with Eric, he would have the cheek to regard Hawaii as a goddaughter. Of course, unfortunately, this kind of thinking can only be thought about, his current position is not. Too much intersection with Eric is not allowed.
