TSN screen couple

When Eduardo went downstairs the next day, Mark was already waiting downstairs, accompanied by Elijah and several young girls whom he had never seen before.

This can’t be blamed on him. Singapore is considered a leisure country in the world. He also considers himself a perfect boss. His company doesn’t go to work until ten o’clock in the morning, and the executives can arrive before 11 o’clock—he hasn’t woken up at seven o’clock in the morning for a long time. .

Mark was sitting next to the cooking counter in the kitchen, and the two notebooks on the left were working. Ilya was standing in front of the cooking counter, explaining something to a girl.

When the girls saw him, they all became weirdly excited. They tried hard to maintain a steady look, but their bright and bright expressions betrayed themselves.

Eduardo was a little weird.

It was already late when he came back yesterday, he went straight into the room without eating, and put aside his fatigue, mainly because he was tired.Because it was late and I didn't notice the design and layout problems, I felt a little unacceptable when I came down from the stairs.

The whole house has been remodeled by Mark. Fortunately, it is a single-family villa, otherwise there must be complaints from angry owners.The entire first floor, including the entrance, outer hall, living room, kitchen and small bar, adopts a fully open design. The outer wall is also a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, which has a strong sense of design and technology.But no matter how advanced the design concept and how beautiful the layout is, this house doesn't look like a real person lives in it.

Seeing Eduardo coming downstairs, Ilya greeted him lively, and then introduced the girls to him, saying that they were other members of their public relations case.

"How many people know that our relationship is fake?" Eduardo asked Mark.

"Only the people in the team, and you and me."

"Where's your senior management?"

"Only the legal department is on standby, but they don't know what's going on."

Eduardo asked, and Mark answered like this, without even raising his eyelids when answering, still staring at him, and even his peripheral vision was locked on his precious computer.

It's Harvard's nightmare all over again—hopefully, the return on investment doesn't require another lawsuit to get it.

"Is this for me?"

Seeing a French sandwich and a cup of black coffee on the cooking table, Eduardo asked Ilya without thinking.

"Yes, please, Monsieur Savarin."

Eduardo pulled up a high-back chair and sat in front of the breakfast, while Mark sat far away on the other side of the cooking table.

In the same room, there was a strange feeling of 'the king doesn't see the king'.

The black coffee was very bitter, and Eduardo stopped moving after taking a sip, and put it on the table.

Elijah over there had finished his conversation, the girls were all good and stopped talking, and the only sound left in the room was Mark's tick-tock typing on the keyboard.

so awkward.

Eduardo pinched his earlobe, trying to find a topic.

"Mark, where are we going today?"

"Company, let me show you the PR case and finalize the details as soon as possible."

"Isn't it okay here?"

"Do you like working from home?"

Eduardo was choked and unable to speak, so he closed his mouth and looked at his phone.

Mark snapped his laptop shut and cleared the rest of the equipment on the table.He even packs things up very coolly, that is, fast and rhythmic.

Eduardo also has a technical team in his own office. They are not too old, and they do this every day. They have to show off their operations when they do everything, like a peacock opening its screen.

After finishing collecting the computer, Mark walked to Eduardo's side, took away the cup in front of him, poured the unfinished coffee into the sink, washed and dried the cup, and put it in the cabinet.

Eduardo was a little embarrassed watching him put away the cups, and always felt like he messed up things and asked others to clean them up.

"Let's go, it's time to be late today."

Mark finished collecting the cups, picked up his computer bag and said.

Elijah went out to drive first, and the girls picked up their folders and followed him out. Only one girl went into the room, and a dog was brought out after a while.

It looks like he's going to stay and be a dog sitter.

The dog is very cute, but the shape is a bit strange. At first glance, it looks like nothing, but the more you look closely, the more it looks like a mop.

"This is beast."

Mark said so.Eduardo bowed his head and said hello to the dog 'hello beast' - he doesn't like dogs very much, it's just polite.

Mark then explained to him that beast had his own nanny, but because it was an extraordinary period recently, he called someone from the public relations department to take care of it, and added that now all the people in the family have been replaced by public relations people.

Mark bent down, knelt on the ground and spoke to the beast, saying goodbye to him.

Mark should like his dog very much-Eduardo has never seen Mark so gentle with any living creature before, and he can only sigh again how wonderful the world is.

The dog sneezed, not interested in what he said, touched its nose with its paws, turned its head, looked left and right, then found Eduardo, jumped over quickly, smelled his smell, and surrounded him happily She twirled around his trousers twice, but finally sat at his feet.

Ah, a little embarrassing.

The girl standing next to take care of the dog couldn't hold back her laughter, so she could only bear it and looked up to pretend not to see it.Mark put away the bags in his handbag and went out, and Eduardo followed suit. This time he really set off.

Eduardo has often seen photos of FB's office scenes in various corners over the years, and each one is very impressive. Although he always closes the webpage as soon as he sees it, he still has a feeling for FB. base impression.

The impression of this foundation is not as shocking as the real one.

FB and the government approved a large piece of land for the construction of the entire park and for future development, so when Eduardo came in, his first impression was that it was big.

After entering through the front door, he put down his phone, thinking he was almost there, but 15 minutes later, they didn't even see the building.

"Where is the main office building?" Eduardo asked Ilya.

"We still have to walk for a while. We are going through the side door, and the location will be a little bit off."

After finally entering the building, it seemed like entering another Shura field. Everyone I met in the corridor would greet Mark, and Mark would respond politely to them.After coming and going, there will always be people asking about Eduardo, and Mark will introduce him to them at this time.

Along the way, I also heard "Congratulations" and "Hundred Years of Love" along the way.

After entering the office, Elijah said he was going to prepare a public relations case, and took all the girls away, leaving only Mark and Eduardo.

The office is fully open, with floor-to-ceiling glass on almost all sides. Eduardo sat on the sofa for a while, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"How bad is it?"

Eduardo spoke first, and some things still need to be discussed when only the two of them are alone.

"You can't imagine how bad it is."

"You don't look like someone who would show his hole cards to others, Mark."

"I would agree that such a public relations case speaks for itself," Mark rubbed his temples, his tone calm and cold, "FB is very popular, this matter is not just as simple as public relations."

"Is the external PR reliable?"

"How do you know that Ilya was hired from outside?"

"I'm also an important shareholder of the company, okay? Although I never come to the meeting, I still need to know the composition of important personnel."

"This PR case is justified."

"Have you thought about the future? After the public relations case is over, we can't keep pretending like this."

"After the public relations case is over, the relationship between the two of us will need to cool down for at least three years."

"You didn't remind me of this when you invited me."

"'Payment and reward are always proportional, and everything in the world has its price' You are a student of economics, I don't need to emphasize this to you, your trip today is worth 15 billion, you don't think you should pay more Is it worth the price to do something?"

"15 billion is enough for me to sell myself?"

"—You earned more than 15 billion, and you are also an important shareholder of the company. Once the company's stock price plummets, your assets will be wiped out instantly."

"I didn't think much of me as an important shareholder when I was paying dividends. Once I had to share the risk, I realized that I was an important shareholder."

"No way, the world is like this, I hope you can recognize the world as soon as possible."

"My assets will not be cleared instantly, I still have my own company."

"Oh, really? Ever been in the top 1000 of the world's corporate rankings?"

"Asshole."

"Quitter."

The timing of Ilya's opening the door was just right, and he was not sure what tragedy would happen in the CEO's office if he was a little later.

Ilya came alone, and the girls stayed in the conference room to continue working on the specific public relations case. The current public relations case is only a general framework.He also brought a lot of other materials, such as FB's memorabilia in the second half of the year, past user preference records, and FB's financial and traffic records.

Mark put off today's work, but there are still sporadic urgent things to deal with. He didn't stop his hands when he was talking to Eduardo just now.

"Ilya, can you show me the combination of the past balance sheet?" Eduardo asked Ilya when he saw him coming in.

Ilya looked at his boss and thought, I'm just a publicist, and I occasionally work as an assistant, and it's not your company. Why do you ask me about such important things that are related to company secrets.

Mark glanced at Eduardo, stopped when he wanted to say something to him, and just said to Ilya: "It's okay, he is also a shareholder of the company."

"I need an unadjusted watch, Ilya."

Elijah looked at his boss again—he majored in public relations in college, not plywood.

"Tell him that all reports are true, Ilya."

"Mr. Savarin, you also heard what the boss said. The reports here are all true."

"Tell him that being real doesn't mean it's highly reliable, Elijah."

"Boss, you also heard what Mr. Savarin said. He said that high authenticity does not mean high referenceability."

"Tell him—" Mark stopped halfway, probably thinking that they were boring, "Ilya, could you please add coffee."

Ilya thought in her heart, boss, you have a whole secretarial team, and I'm really just a publicist.

Then he turned his head to ask Eduardo, and said without complaint: "Mr. Savarin, would you like coffee?"

"Give me a latte, please, and two extra cubes."

After Elijah left, Mark put down the pen in his hand and said to Eduardo:

"What can't you ask me directly?"

"?"

"It was the same when I was at home, and I had to ask Elijah for breakfast—who can move the kitchen in my house except me?"

"Didn't you buy that?"

"Where to buy it - there are no coffee shops in the five kilometers around."

There is no one who is crooked about this topic.

Eduardo complained in his heart: Couldn't it be that Ilya brought it when he came over in the morning?Isn't the point of spending so much money on public relations to let him do a lot of things outside of his job?

"There's something wrong with the asset ratio in the report." Eduardo chattered and changed the subject.

"As a technical industry, it should not have such a large investment in fixed assets every year."

"And the whole table is wrong—for example, since 08, the increase in total assets in terms of level is—" Then he quickly flipped through the table, closed his eyes and said a few numbers, "Look again Your total liabilities—" He flipped through the form again, and said a few figures, "Have you found any problems?"

"A gap of a few tenths of a percent can be considered a normal change."

Eduardo looked down at the front page of the form again, confirmed the number unit at the header, and continued: "And your units are all from [-], and this gap will grow into a big gap."

"When you look at data changes horizontally, you should compare the industry average level vertically-I believe this change is a normal level in the industry."

"——The variation ratio of the average level in the industry is around 0.1, you tell me this is a normal level?"

"Stop and forget about it."

"Why don't you ignore this obviously?"

"You're so cute, you think you're a CFO?"

"···"

They froze again, and this time it was different from the previous few silences.

This is the real problem that lies between them.

Eduardo agreed to Mark's invitation before, partly because he felt that ten years had passed, he couldn't go on like this forever, and it was time to let things pass.

Eduardo took a deep breath, told himself that Mark was a jerk, closed his eyes and hypnotized himself, and then calmed down the trembling part of his heart.

This is what Ilya saw when he came in. Eduardo was sitting on a dark business-style sofa, frowning and reading the report.

The time at the airport before was Ilya’s first meeting with Eduardo, and I didn’t have a good impression of him that time. As the main person in charge of the public relations case, Ilya carefully read the materials back then, and also had a good impression of Eduardo at that time. Things have their own guesses.

His boss started a career at the age of 20 that no one else could do in his lifetime, and established his own business empire at the age of 23. Now almost ten years have passed, this empire has grown and grown into a real behemoth .

Anyone would lose face in front of his boss, even Mr. Savarin, who was often mentioned in the tabloids with his boss-there was no sense of even-handed rivalry between them.

But when Mr. Savarin read the financial report, that feeling came alive in front of him.

Mr. Savarin is calm and introverted, and has a strong grasp and confidence in his profession.

When you see him sitting in the center of the report, you know that it is his domain, his territory, and his empire.

Ilya put the coffee on the table and said softly, sorry to interrupt your conversation, but now we have something to look at.

The room was still silent, no one spoke.

a long time--

"Eduardo, I didn't mean that."

"···"

"CFO means you are the CFO of your own company. What I mean by that is, this is my company and I have my own ideas—not about our previous CFO."

"···"

"I didn't mock you for still thinking of yourself as the CFO of FB."

Eduardo bit his lips, his voice was a little hoarse, but he was still calm, "——Don't explain, the more you explain, the more chaotic you will be."

"I did not mean that--"

"Nevermind."

"Eduardo—"

Eduardo interrupted him, "There's no need to explain, it's nothing."

"But--"

"It's nothing, Mark," Eduardo smiled at him, and said very gently, "it's nothing."

Lots of people have said worse, including you, so it's really nothing.
