Chapter 859

"Disneyland and Warner merged?" Behind the desk, Adriaan flipped through the information in his hand and asked.

"Really? Why didn't I know about it? " Charlize, who was sitting in the chair in front of him, snorted softly. She leaned against the chair, with one arm on the back of the chair and one hand on her raised thigh. She looked lazy and elegant.

"Well, I said the wrong thing. Disneyland Channel and Warner's WB Network merged …" Adriaan rolled his eyes in amusement. "Well, that's not right either. In short, Disneyland, Warner, and other small networks have formed a brand new network, WD, that can finally cover the whole country … Is there a problem with this?"

"Of course not, but ABC wants to know your opinion." Charlize became a little unhappy. "So they asked me to come over. They asked the vice president of ABC to come over and ask about this for a newly established network. They can really think of something like this."

"And the shareholders of Facebook." Adriaan added with a smile, "Even if it's not listed, you are still one of the most valuable young single women."

Compared to the shares that the vice president of ABC enjoyed, the shares of Facebook were obviously more astonishing. Charlize and Ivanka basically did nothing, and their net worth was already hundreds of millions — although it was just an estimate.

"Is the key word in this sentence 'single'?" Charlize narrowed his eyes.

"Of course not. What I want to say is, since they asked you to seduce me, of course, you should be more professional." Adriaan smiled and raised his eyebrows.

Charlie rolled his eyes at him, but still stood up, walked around the desk to stand in front of him, then turned his back to him and raised his hips. She was wearing a standard black office lady outfit. Although the short skirt was a little longer than before, and it almost reached her knees, the black suspender stockings made her slender legs look particularly attractive. Especially the two black lines at the back, some people thought it was ugly, some people thought it was sexy. Adriaan was the latter. He immediately pinched her calf and stroked it up.

"There's nothing to worry about. Even if the new WD network can cover the whole country, their competitiveness is still ranked at the bottom. I can almost predict what route they will take. This is just right, there is a TV series for them. It is necessary to maintain a certain degree of friendship in the case of other networks' reactions. Anyway, the threat is not big. As for Eisner, he can't reverse the decline, and it is only a matter of time before he steps down. We are already thinking about how to cooperate or compete with Disneyland in the post-Eisner era. "Adriaan, who had already rolled up her short skirt and put his fingers in it, said with admiration.

Charlize took a deep breath and maintained his posture: "Obviously there is a lot of competition. Yini told me that there is a TV series for the youth market coming out soon, right?"

"She really tells you everything." Listening to her heavy breathing, Adriaan's fingers did not stop for a moment.

As he spoke, the office door was opened, and Ivanka, also dressed in office lady clothes, came in and put the documents in her arms on the desk. Her gaze didn't linger on Charlie, who was being toyed with. She had seen the same situation hundreds of times and done the same things hundreds of times.

"Thank you, Yini!" Adriaan smiled and greeted her. He pulled out a hand and flipped it over. "Put it here for now. I'll look at it later."

Then, as Ivanka snorted softly, he pulled out a document and handed it to her. "In addition, recommend her to Vaughan Law Firm as an intern."

"Oh?" Ivanka was a little surprised. After taking a look, she sneered: "What, you want to throw it away after you're done playing with it? I remember you never do this kind of thing. "

"What is it?" Charlize took the opportunity to get rid of Adriaan's fingers, put down the skirt, and took the document from Ivanka's hand. "Josephine Nordegren? Who is this? "

"An intern in the legal department. He just got her," Ivanka explained simply.

"Her sister introduced her to me. I didn't know she was an intern in the company's legal department at first." Adriaan immediately raised his hand.

"You didn't know?" The two women sneered at the same time. Then, Charlize asked playfully, "Why did you transfer her out now? Didn't you have enough fun? "

"Hehe, of course it's to train her. The company's legal department doesn't have that many things to deal with." Adriaan's eyes twinkled.

The Nordegren sisters were not simple women. Irene Nordegren had introduced her sister to Adriaan at her family's party. Although Adriaan and Woods were at best acquaintances, they were both celebrities. ESPN also had a good relationship with Woods, so when he received the invitation and happened to have time, he went to their party.

While he was chatting with the couple, Josephine "happened" to walk over and "happened" to let him know that she had a master's degree in Swedish law school and was now studying at Stanford Law School. It was very likely that she would get another master's degree in law. Her colleague was also … working as an intern in the legal department of AC Media.

It was such an obvious hint, and Josephine was also a sexy and beautiful woman. Naturally, Adriaan would try it first. But he didn't need to stay in the legal department anymore. For scheming women, if he couldn't understand them as well as Kate, Charlize, or Ivanka, he wouldn't keep them by his side, especially after the incident with Penelope.

It just so happened that in addition to their own legal department, every large group would also maintain a few law firms. Vaughan Law Firm was one of the top law firms in the United States that AC Media had invested in. Arranging for Josephine to intern there wasn't considered going back on her word. And it was also a good opportunity to observe whether this woman, who had several degrees in law, could grow up. Besides, she and her sister were twins. Thinking about Irene Nordegren and Woods, tsk tsk …

"I think he has some ulterior motives. What do you think?" Ivanka said to Charlize.

"That's obvious. It's not the first time he messed around with women in this kind of situation." Charlize shrugged.

Adriaan was immediately speechless. There was actually nothing at home … well, it was just that Sophie and Monica weren't too happy. No matter what, they were still Europeans, and they had feelings for European movies. During this time, they had been pestered by reporters for their opinions on Adriaan's words. Monica was fine. After deciding to develop in the film industry, she quickly came to Hollywood and met Adriaan. But Sophie had experienced a lot in the European film industry, so those words were a big blow to her.

Fortunately, her biggest wish had been realized in Adriaan's hands. After being around him for so many years, she had been affected a lot. Her career had basically moved to Hollywood. So, after patiently coaxing her a few times, and with Monica's guidance, Sophie finally calmed down.

Also, Zeta Jones's belly was getting more and more obvious, and she was getting more and more plump. The due date had been set for the end of August. Soon, the lineup of Adriaan's daughters would expand. That's right, daughters. He 100% believed that it was a daughter, and more than one. In Cannes, he held Nicole's arm and returned to the hotel in front of the reporters. Not only did it set off a wave, but it also successfully made Nicole pregnant.

"Congratulations, Eide. You have finally successfully applied for a VIP card." At that time, Nicole had a happy look on her face. She stroked her belly and said so to him, as if it was Eide who was pregnant, not her.

Of course, although Nicole always spoke like a private call girl in private, she was still happy about the pregnancy from the bottom of her heart. But interestingly, in addition to her, Naomi was also pregnant. The day before Adriaan left Cannes, which was the night he humiliated Tyre and others at the salon.

Because the plan was completely launched, the particularly excited Adriaan, Nicole, and Naomi spent the night together. At that time, Nicole, who was already pregnant, instinctively protected herself, so most of the essence was borne by Naomi, and she successfully conceived the child that night.

"This is not bad." After confirming and telling Adriaan, Naomi, who was stroking her belly, said so. Unlike Nicole, who was neurotic, her face was full of love when she did this. Obviously, she was ready to be a mother.

Although it was an accident, Adriaan was not worried. Anyway, he already had a football team. It didn't matter if there was one more in the future. He could afford it. The only worry was that if there were too many daughters, it would become more and more difficult to discipline them. It was really interesting to fulfill the original vow in this way. Unfortunately, if Nicole and Naomi could get pregnant and give birth at the same time like Sophie and Monica, it would be even more interesting.

This was the current situation at home. It could also be called the birth of the Kewell Family Women's Football Team. As for Kate and Lily's reaction …

"Really? It sounds interesting. Maybe I should also find a way to play a role in it? " Kate had an obvious fake smile on her face. She shifted her gaze to Adriaan, "What do you think, Eide? This is a series of movies with all the best actors in the United Kingdom. I'm also British, aren't I? "

"Well … I can think about it, but … I have to ask for Qiao's opinion. After all, she is the original author." Adriaan, who was sitting directly above, laughed awkwardly.

"Don't shirk the responsibility, Eide. I'm serious." Kate raised an eyebrow, "Even if Qiao is the original author, as the boss of the film company and the person who helped her, she will definitely respect your opinion."

"That's not very good, Kate." Little Emma, who was sitting on the left side of Adriaan, secretly curled her lips, "Do you want Eide to force Qiao?"

"Why? Do I look like I want Eide to force Qiao?" Kate narrowed her eyes.

"Of course not!" Little Emma said with a smile, "I just want to remind you to pay attention to this."

Adriaan, who had a panoramic view of this, felt a headache coming on as he lowered his head to eat his lunch. He felt like he didn't want to care about them anymore. Lily, who was sitting a little lower, frowned slightly. Her gaze moved between her mother, father, and sister Emma. She was sometimes confused, sometimes thoughtful.

"Dad, is there a conflict between mom and Emma?"

"Mom, is there a conflict between you and Emma?"

"Emma, is there a conflict between you and mom?"

After lunch, Lily asked the same question three times, and the answers were surprisingly consistent.

"Honey, mom and Emma don't have a conflict."

"Honey, I don't have a conflict with Emma."

"Idiot Lily, I don't have a conflict with Kate."

She originally thought that only her father and mother would lie, but she didn't expect Emma to lie too. What are they hiding from me? Lily angrily made a heavy note in her little notebook. She always felt that her mother and sister Emma had some unspeakable secret. For example, whenever there was a chance, her mother would always target Emma, and whenever that happened, Emma would drag her to play in front of her mother, and then her mother wouldn't be too happy …

"How annoying! What the hell is going on?!" Lily fell on her bed, then turned over and wriggled around. This feeling was terrible for the self-proclaimed smart little guy.

Unfortunately, she wouldn't know the truth for a long time. Don't think that only her mother, father, and sister Emma were guarding against her.

"Okay, that's enough for today." Faced with the temptation before him, Adriaan took a deep breath.

"Why?" Little Emma looked down at her chest, and then used her hands to hold up her sharp little lotus with a face full of dissatisfaction. "I could have rubbed them two more times."

"This kind of thing has to be done step by step." Adriaan explained. "And you won't see any results in the short term. If you put this at the back of your mind, then one day when you suddenly think of it and look in the mirror, you'll find that it's much bigger."

"How do I know if it's natural growth or if it's stimulated by you? Let's do it again!" Little Emma started acting coquettishly. Once her immature body shook, the temptation skyrocketed, especially since she wasn't wearing anything on her upper body. "I'm not asking for too much. A B-size is enough."

Adriaan hurriedly coughed and leaned back. "Listen to me, Emma. If you're really worried, you'll know after looking at Kyla's chest."

"I knew it. You must've helped Kyla grow up." Little Emma smiled proudly, as if she had something on Luke, but then her expression immediately turned into a pleading one. "I want the same treatment."

"Emma," Adriaan said seriously.

Little Emma's face immediately fell. "You're going to Kate's?"

"No … I just …" Adriaan said with a headache. "Emma, you should know."

"But I've been waiting for you in London for so long … You always leave after a few days … Finally, I can come to America during the summer …" Little Emma looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Alright, Emma, I won't go to Kate's, I promise …" Adriaan sighed and hugged her. He kissed her little bud gently. "Don't worry, the summer is still long. We still have a lot of time."

"Okay." Although she was extremely unwilling, Little Emma still agreed. She indeed knew what he was worried about.

Adriaan finally let out a sigh of relief. Even when he was doing the chest massage, he was extremely careful. If Lily saw it, it would be really bad. However, Little Emma and Kate were also annoying. Even if they didn't see eye to eye before, there was no need to be so obvious, right?

This was the situation at home. Of course, although there were so many things to worry about, he still had to do what he wanted to do. For example, the various movie premieres during the summer.

Star Wars Episode I: Revenge of the Sith, which premiered in Cannes, had already been released in America. As usual, it was criticized by the fans, and they all went to the theaters to watch the last part of the prequel trilogy. At the same time, major productions from various companies were also released one after another. DreamWorks Animation's War of the Worlds was scheduled for mid-June.

"To be honest, sometimes I really wish I could see it with my own eyes, just like in 1938." Adriaan said to the old man in front of him, who was wearing round glasses and had a neatly trimmed beard. "If only you could realize my dream, Steven."

"Believe me, Eide, this is definitely not a good idea." Spielberg laughed, very pleased with the roundabout compliment. "Although I also hope that this work can achieve that kind of success, I can't continue to edit and play it calmly when the police storm the studio."

"What a pity." Adriaan shrugged.

"Speaking of which, why did you want to make a movie like The Pianist?" Spielberg suddenly asked.

Adriaan couldn't help but smile. "I told the reporters before that I had this idea when you were making Schindler's List. However, there was no good script at that time, and I still needed to hone my skills, so it was a very faint idea until I found Mr. Spielman's biography. Even so, I had to prepare for several years before I dared to put it on the big screen. "

"It's a pity that I didn't go to Cannes this year." Spielberg sighed. "But a lot of people said that it was a very good work, otherwise the jury wouldn't have awarded you the Palme d 'Or under those circumstances."

Adriaan maintained his smile, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. "Thank you."

"You taught the European filmmakers a good lesson." Spielberg suddenly laughed again. "It's been a long time since someone taught them a lesson like that."

"I'm just telling the truth." Adriaan's smile became even wider. "I've always wanted to see some really good European commercial productions, but they're just stubbornly sticking to their pride. They're always disappointing."

"By the way, when is The Pianist going to be released in the United States? I couldn't make it to Cannes, but I'm sure I won't miss it." Spielberg changed the topic, or rather, returned to the previous one.

"It's not completely decided yet, but definitely not now. I'm not interested in using an art film to compete with a big commercial production." Adriaan spread his hands. "Even if it's an art film, we should keep the cost if we can."

The two looked at each other and laughed again.
