Chapter 255 (1/2)

Janet naturally said, ”I didn't want to give myself a Chinese name. I just suddenly felt that Jennie was very suitable for the name.”

The two women were standing opposite each other on both sides of a long table full of various things. As Janet said, she turned to her still puzzled side with a smile and began to bite her ears with the female assistant.

Simon vaguely heard that Janet told her that she would keep an eye on her when she returned to the United States. She didn't want to stick to her. She didn't want to make a woman too tired. Her voice was that her wife told her to be a big girl in the whole room. She was very involved in the play.

Jennifer still didn't know what was going on. She just listened to Janet's advice. Her face turned a little red and she always felt something was wrong.

The telephone rings on the tea table.

Simon reaches for the line. Anthony Johnston is calling. Lunch is ready on the other side of the mansion.

I'm leaving Melbourne in the afternoon. I'm sure we'll have dinner together.

Both women heard the conversation between Simon and Anthony. Janet took her arm and said, ”I haven't invited you to my house yet. It happened that we were together.”

Jennifer looked at Simon and shook her head with a smile. ”You two go over. I'll have to tidy up and wait for someone to pick up the luggage at the airport.”

If it's just a personal assistant, it might not matter to go to Johnston's for lunch, but with her current relationship with Simon, in the past, everyone would be uncomfortable.

Jennifer doesn't want to embarrass Simon. Like last month's Easter, she prefers to make Simon feel a little sorry for herself.

Today's Johnston house is a bit more lively than Simon's first visit to Australia.

After lunch that day, Veronica didn't deliberately hide from Simon any more. She also showed up today. Janet's brother, David Johnston, came back from England with his girlfriend in the morning. Together with Anthony Johnston and Norman Johnston, they packed up the long table in the dining room of the mansion.

Only Raymond Johnston's youngest son, Patrick, was left before Simon saw him.

David Johnston, 26, a tall, thin man like his father, with a pair of rimless glasses and a gentle look, is currently studying for a PhD in fluid mechanics at Cambridge University.

David's girlfriend, Leslie Whitaker, is his younger sister in Cambridge. She is a brown haired girl with good appearance and temperament. She is still studying architecture and design with a minor in art history. She should not be more than 22 years old.

As Janet said at the beginning, David Johnston is a bit of a nerd.

At the dinner table, when Simon asked about his professional research direction, David solemnly explained how to use the principle of fluid mechanics to calculate the trajectory of the oil layer buried thousands of meters underground. Raymond Johnston frowned at a series of technical terms.

Because David brought his girlfriend back for the first time, other people pretended to listen with face, but the old man didn't have any scruples. He quickly interrupted, ”what's the use of learning these? There's no oil field at home for you to study.”

David Johnston was obviously afraid of his father and immediately lost his temper.

The atmosphere in the restaurant became a bit awkward.

Janet leaned over and looked at David.

Simon will understand that the old man is not satisfied with David's girlfriend, so he will react like this.

Although Raymond Johnston's attitude towards Simon has been very good since the first meeting, Simon always knows that the old man is not a good-natured person from the private talk of Anthony and Janet's children and their performance in front of Raymond.

Noting the unnatural look on Leslie Whitaker's face next to David, Simon realized that she was also a very observant girl.

Remembering that he caused the embarrassment, Simon took the initiative to ease off: ”in fact, the use of fluid mechanics is still very wide, and movie special effects can also be used. Through fluid simulation, we only need to use CG animation to achieve realistic water, fire and other effects, which can avoid many expensive real scenes. ”

Raymond turned to look over, softened his tone, and said, ”when you get back to Los Angeles, get in touch with Tony more. Don't let Jennie fool around alone.”

Simon naturally understood what Raymond meant. He nodded with a smile and said, ”I will. Besides, Jennie is more suitable for running the fund than I am.”

Raymond glanced at Janet and said, ”I know her temperament better than you do. No one's looking at her. She's bound to cause trouble.”

Janet, who is seriously cutting a lamb chop, wrinkled her nose discontentedly, but didn't talk back to her old man at this time.

Interrupt a few words, just the embarrassment was resolved, the atmosphere in the restaurant RE activated.

Simon readily agreed to Norman Johnston's 8-year-old son Victor's request to give him a bat motorcycle, but only told him not to really drive on the road, which was too dangerous.

Asked by his puzzled father, the little guy accidentally let slip. It turned out that Anthony's eldest son Brandon wanted to, but he was embarrassed to speak to Simon.

Anthony got married very early. According to Janet, his elder brother had to marry his son when he was half of college. In recent years, he had a son and two daughters. Sylvia, 16, and Chloe, 9, were here at this time. Brandon, Simon's eldest son, appeared several times these days, but he didn't come to lunch today.At this time, we also understand why.

When Raymond heard that his eldest son was ”frustrated by playing with things”, he caught his eldest son and reprimanded him. However, he was obviously not as serious as when he interrupted David.

After lunch, he stayed in the mansion until four o'clock in the afternoon before Simon left. Anthony and Janet take Simon to Melbourne Airport in the western suburbs. A Boeing 767 is waiting on the runway.

In addition to Simon and Jennifer, the last Batman crew to stay in Melbourne will also return together this time. The film's work in Australia is basically over.

The staff of the Australian branch will settle the tax refund with the Victorian government. Simon does not intend to withdraw the 5 million US dollars to North America. Instead, he plans to invest directly in making movies in Australia, such as Jackson's ”crazy fat baby variety show”.

Next to the runway of the airport, it's about to leave. Janet hugs Simon tightly and says, ”I'll take care of cersei capital for you and make sure you won't lose money. When I miss you, I will go to Los Angeles. You should always think about me. If you can come to see me suddenly, it will be better. Girls like surprises very much... ”

Simon hugged Janet and listened patiently, nodding from time to time.

A few minutes later, Janet stopped and put a sticker on Simon's face. Simon thought she was going to let go of herself, but suddenly Janet bit his ear and whispered, ”does my aunt smell good?”

I'm really biting my ears.
