Ok.
Seeing Schlapp enter the door, Simon signaled the dancers on the stage to pause, and did not get up, and waited for Schlapp to sit on the single sofa that a girl next to him voluntarily gave up, and asked the girl next to him to print a cover with Chinese landscape paintings The beautifully bound 32-mo booklet was handed over, and he said with a smile: "It's just right, Joseph, listen to it with me, and see how their performance is with your eyes."
Schlapp nodded, listening to his boss's orders in Chinese, the dance when he just entered the door was accompanied by an English commentary by a cheerful girl, and it started again.
When Joseph Schlapp heard a name, he opened the brochure in his hand, which was obviously enough for a small collection, and quickly found that, against the background of light landscape paintings, there were two Chinese characters printed on the front page of the catalog, 'There are foxes', Schlapp did not Familiar with Chinese, through the English annotations and the picture of a cute fox wandering by the stream in the background of the page, I quickly understood the general meaning of this oriental poem.
Using things as metaphors, the story of a fox tells the lonely state of mind of a woman who is waiting slowly after her husband goes off to war.
On the stage, accompanied by oriental classical style soundtrack, the performance has also begun.
The dancer dressed delicately and softly like a white fox slowly enters the stage, like walking through the forest, drinking water by the stream, whether it is music or picture scroll, it looks lonely and ethereal.Occasionally, I meet some companions and watch others cheering, but I can't blend in after all, and I am still alone in the end.
In addition to the dancing and soundtrack, there are occasional female voices to accompany it.
……
There is Hu Suisui in Biqiliang.The heart is worried, and the son has no clothes.
There is a fox Suisui, in Biqili.The worry of the heart, the son has no belt.
There is Hu Suisui, on Biqi's side.The worries of the heart, the son is not convinced.
……
Apart from not being able to understand Chinese singing, Joseph Schlapp also had to admit that everything was perfect.
At the end of the song on the stage, the girls bowed slightly to express their gratitude with ancient Chinese rituals, and then floated down like flowing water, turned to the backstage, raised their hands to applaud, and Joseph Schlapp, who had no choice but to give up, turned to face My boss said: "It's so beautiful, Simon. I read in the brochure that it will premiere at the Metropolitan Opera House on December 12th. Is this true?"
"Of course, the pre-publicity warm-up has already begun," Simon said as he still hugged a charming girl, and then asked, "I mean, Joseph, do you understand?"
Joseph nodded: "It's easy to understand, coupled with the notes in the manual, I just wrote down the whole story just once."
"That's good. In fact, this is the result I want. If a culture wants to spread in another cultural atmosphere, it must first be understood. This is very simple, but it is also very difficult. If everyone sees If you don’t understand, then you will be embarrassed.”
"How is it possible? Even if you don't understand, the dance just now was a visual feast." Joseph said, seeming a little embarrassed, and then said: "Simon, since I'm going to perform at the Metropolitan Opera House, I can book some tickets in advance ?"
"No problem, I will give you 10 cards. If there are interested people around you, you can donate them." Simon nodded, finally straightened up, and said to the girl next to him: "You guys continue to practice, I will talk to the guests about something, soon return."
Joseph Schlapp actually didn't want to leave very much, it was enjoyable to stay here to talk about things, but his boss had already got up, so he could only follow.
The two came to a lounge next door, and waited for the waitress to bring coffee. Simon asked Girl A to hand a document to Schlapp, and said, "I'll talk about other things later, you can take a look at this first, a few Just arrived from Ukraine an hour ago."
Joseph Schlapp took the file and opened it, quickly browsing the content.
This is a murder case that happened just this morning local time in Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine. An entrepreneur from Donetsk Oblast, Yev Shcherban, and his wife went out in the morning, and just left their house, they were arrested Several gunmen who had been waiting for a long time hit the screen, and even the driver and a bodyguard followed and died.
Attached to the file are some photos of the murder scene.
Miserable.
The Weijia lobbying team also has an office in Ukraine. His boss attaches so much importance to that country and works from top to bottom. Joseph Schlapp has also done a detailed understanding of the various forces in Ukraine.
Seeing Yev Sherban's name, Schlapp knew that this was the leader of the East Udonetsk gang.
And roughly can guess the ins and outs of it.
After all, the Ukrainian Prime Minister Pavlo Lazarenko and the Donetsk gang in Eastern Ukraine are competing for the industrial assets left over from the former Soviet era in eastern Ukraine. Getting sharper, Yev Sherban's assassination this time is not a surprise at all.
Because just a few months ago, Lazarenko also suffered a public car bomb assassination, but the assassination did not succeed, and there are indications that the assailant was Yev Sherban.So this is obviously a tit-for-tat by Lazarenko's family.
Chapter 1058 Only state officials are allowed to set fire
After carefully reading the documents in his hand, Joseph Schlapp raised his head and said to his boss: "Simon, Lazarenko has clearly crossed the line. Considering our interests in Ukraine, in order to ensure that Lazarenko will not report to Rove North Carolina reached out, and I think we should let the White House speak out and express concern, as well as the media on the federal side."
"This is the purpose of letting you know about this matter first." Now that the subordinates have thought about it, Simon doesn't need to bother too much, and said: "I will also arrange for Russia and express the same concern. In fact, this matter It's nothing to do with us, dogs eat dogs, but we have to make sure a mad dog doesn't get carried away and jump on its owner after killing another dog."
This metaphor...
Joseph Schlapp couldn't help thinking of something about his boss more than two years ago.
Simon noticed Schlapp's expression, smiled and said: "Joseph, do you know that there is a very interesting little story in the East called, only officials are allowed to set fire, and ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps. This was originally an irony, but In fact, in my opinion, this is the way of the world."
Without the support of the story, Joseph obviously couldn't understand the essence of the story, but what Simon wanted to express was very clear.
Just like in the practice room next door, the boss can hug left and right to the point where he can't hug him. Those subordinates can only watch.If the strength does not reach a certain level, some things are either impossible to do, or if you do it, you will be unlucky.
Two years ago, if my boss did certain things, if he didn't have enough strength to support him, he would definitely be chased and beaten, and the final result would be unpredictable.
What Ukrainian Prime Minister Pavlo Lazarenko did this time would only become an internal dispute in Ukraine if it did not involve the interests of the Westeros system. Just go back to each house.
Now it is different. The Westeros system is betting more and more in Ukraine. Lazarenko is such a bad rule. Although he did not target the Westeros system, he can’t wait for some politician who is getting more and more rampant. Stretching out his hand to the Rivne State before making a sound, he had to knock out all the possible thoughts of a certain mad dog with a stick.
This is what the United States is best at.
The White House's voice and public opinion campaign are enough to make the Kyiv authorities tremble, because the result of disobedience is sanctions or even armed intervention. The Federation is familiar with this kind of thing.And this time, Simon will not give some people a retreat at all, and will arrange for the Russian side to speak together to put pressure on the Kyiv authorities.
However, everything will only stay at the level of warning and pressure. As long as Lazarenko subdues, there will be no actual actions.
Simon didn't think of beating Lazarenko to death with a stick. He needed the Kyiv authorities to maintain a divided state. After the domination, there will be some thoughts that should not be there, such as the feeling that the state of Rivne State, which is almost a colony, is too disharmonious and needs to be strengthened.
After talking about some detailed arrangements, Simon asked about Schlapp's experience in Washington in the past few days.
In the practice room next door, which is used as a rehearsal stage.
As soon as Simon left with Schlapp, the atmosphere in the room became weird.
It's also weird that each of them performs their own duties.
Two teachers came to the stage to guide some of the flaws in the movements of the girls who just returned to the stage to perform "You Fox". Some girls asked the waiter for coffee, and some couldn't help but look at the couch in the middle after the man left I don't know if I can squeeze through the only empty seat.
Then I saw Wei Cancha, who had just been sitting on Simon's left, curled up, taking up most of the vacant seat, and Ouyang Shuli on the other side did the same, turning slightly sideways, with his frail and boneless figure put away, with one knee resting on Wei Cancha On one side of the calf, it completely takes up the space, which is obviously intentional.
Everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes and spit in their hearts.
There is nothing I can do.
The four girls on the sofa are Wei Cancha, Gu Yaoyao, Ouyang Shuli, and Su Fengnian, who still has endless resentment about her name when she hears Wei Canche say 'Auspicious snow heralds a good year'.
This time, the four girls feel a little bit of the same hatred.
Because Simon came here alone today, maybe there will be a chance.
In fact, a few months ago, after gradually learning who the behind-the-scenes boss of the Guofeng Art Troupe is, and coupled with the shockingly good treatment of this team, the girls already had some preparations in their hearts.Even though Simon Westeros is the richest person in the world, how could it be as simple as letting them dance after giving them so much?
The only obstacle is probably that there are too many 'sisters' around.
However, this is not too difficult to accept.
