If possible, Eric rather Carolyn such fine girl forever stays in some castle is a carefree little princess, but, the fairy tale also forever can only be the fairy tale . Moreover, the majority of fairy tale does not have the genuine result actually, can have the fairy tale in this real world is really scarcer than the Disney's animated feature film. 如果可能的话,艾瑞克宁愿卡洛琳这样一个精致的女孩永远呆在某座城堡里做一个无忧无虑的小公主,不过,童话也永远只能是童话,而且,大部分童话故事其实都是没有真正结局的,能够真实发生在这个现实世界中的童话故事更是比迪斯尼的动画故事片还要稀少。 In full hoping facing Carolyn that attractive big eye, Eric has not been cruel enough to reject eventually directly, but said: „Carolyn, is my assistant is not that relaxed matter, although you can attain Harvard MBA, but does not mean that you can adapt to this work. You first also need the practice in my assistant office a long time, perhaps several months, even several years, only then emerges in that environment, can go a step further.” 面对卡洛琳那双漂亮的大眼睛里满满的期许,艾瑞克终究还是没忍心直接拒绝,但还是说道:“卡洛琳,做我的助理可不是那么轻松的事情,虽然你能够拿到哈佛的mba,但并不意味着你就能够适应这份工作。你首先还需要在我的助理办公室里实习很长一段时间,或许几个月,甚至几年,只有在那个环境里脱颖而出,才可以更进一步。” Initially although Alan did not have many work experiences, but he followed Eric time, Firefly also only started, Alan individual qualifications almost grew together with Firefly, can therefore be competent this work, one side Eric dull was more than five years. 当初艾伦虽然没有多少工作经验,但他跟随艾瑞克的时候,萤火虫也才刚刚起步,艾伦的个人资历几乎是与萤火虫一同成长起来的,因此才能够胜任这份工作,在艾瑞克身边一呆就是五年多时间。 For these years, was getting more and more huge along with the scale of Firefly system, besides to Eric responsible Alan, Eric individual assistant office also gradually expanded more than a ten individual small team directly. Although Eric little directly meddles the management of Firefly, but does not mean that his business to the company was concerned with, after this small team most important part of work are responsible for Firefly the system important finance, human affairs and project decision-making and other information in compiled, handing over by Eric verify. Team another part of important work are to all movie and TV series of project Eric decision proceed personally real-time follow up, to guarantee that these film and television projects will not deviate the Eric manufacture mentality. Although Yahoo, AOL, Cisco and Nokia these owning stocks enterprises basically are Chris are being responsible, but many business change to Eric through the team as before, in addition, the team is also responsible for the personal finance, the schedule , the acquisition of information Eric and so on numerous and diverse trivial work. 这几年来,随着萤火虫体系的规模越来越庞大,除了直接对艾瑞克负责的艾伦外,艾瑞克的个人助理办公室也逐渐扩展成了一个十多个人的小团队。艾瑞克虽然很少直接插手萤火虫的管理,但并不意味着他对公司的事务不闻不问,这个小团队最重要的一部分工作就是负责将萤火虫体系内的重要财务、人事、项目决策等信息汇总后交由艾瑞克审核。团队另外一部分重要工作是对艾瑞克亲自决定的所有电影、电视剧项目进行实时跟进,以确保这些影视项目不会偏离艾瑞克的制作思路。虽然雅虎、美国在线、思科、诺基亚这些持股企业基本上都是克里斯在负责,但依旧有很多事务通过团队转到艾瑞克这边,除此之外,团队还负责艾瑞克的个人财务、日程安排、资料收集等等繁杂琐碎的工作。 Eric once also had some red sleeves have added the fragrance and so on thought that attempt lets graduate from Stanford University Jennifer Connelly to his assistant office in exercises. Then takes over the work of Alan, but girl one month cannot boil not to do, obviously this work is not relaxed, therefore, Eric as if touches fine villain that breaks to pieces not to have any confidence to front. 艾瑞克曾经也产生过一些红袖添香之类的念头,试图让毕业于斯坦福大学的詹妮弗.康纳利到他的助理办公室里锻炼一番。然后接手艾伦的工作,但女郎一个月都没能熬过去就不干了,可见这份工作一点都不轻松,因此,艾瑞克对面前这个似乎一碰就碎的精致小人儿更是没有任何信心。 However, meaning that Carolyn has not actually retreated. She do not continue to be the ignorant concubine in ivory tower again. Moreover, so long as can leave him to be nearer, she thought that she can definitely overcome any difficulties. Hears the Eric loose expression, Carolyn said immediately joyfully: „I when you complied with Oh, when I repair completely here curriculum, goes to Los Angeles probably in September.” 不过,卡洛琳却没有丝毫退却的意思。她才不要再继续做象牙塔里的无知小女人。而且,只要能够离他更近一些,她觉得自己肯定能够克服任何困难。听到艾瑞克松动的语气,卡洛琳立刻欣喜地说道:“那我就当你答应了哦,等我把这边的课程修完,大概九月份就去洛杉矶。” Eric has thought, probably does not remember one just agreed with anything, but looks at Carolyn fully is the appearance of jumping for joy, has to ask: „Your Papa will Mama agree?” 艾瑞克想了下,好像不记得自己刚刚同意了什么,不过看卡洛琳满是雀跃的模样,只好问道:“你爸爸妈妈会同意吗？” „Eric. I 23 years old, I have been able to decide to make anything.” “艾瑞克。我已经23岁了呢,我可以自己决定想要做什么了。” „Oh......” “哦……” Eric lengthened the sound, corners of the mouth belt has smiled, withdrew one step to lower the head Carolyn intentionally has sized up up and down, made one ‚I not to look really you were so big’ appearance. 艾瑞克拖长了声音,嘴角带笑,故意退后一步低头将卡洛琳上下打量了一番,做出一副‘我还真没看出来你已经这么大了’的模样。 Facing the Eric badly bad expression, Carolyn reveals an appearance of charming non- handling, under the street light the fair small face becomes glowing red. 面对艾瑞克坏坏的表情,卡洛琳露出一副娇羞无措的模样,路灯下原本白皙的小脸又变得红彤彤的。 Eric also wanted to tease, but felt Carolyn to reveal the feeling inferior mood gradually. Eric stops hastily, said: „Good. I promised you, but I was not one probably with Boss, if you could not complete this work, I will definitely not show mercy.” 艾瑞克本来也只是想要调侃一下,但感受到卡洛琳逐渐露出了自卑情绪。艾瑞克连忙打住,道:“好吧。我答应你了,不过我可不是一个好像与的老板啊,如果你做不好这份工作,我肯定不会手下留情的。” Carolyn nodded gently. 卡洛琳轻轻点了点头。 Eric looked under the watch, but also is less than eight o'clock, at this time went back also to be able with Chris and the others to communicate a moment ago with the matter that Bill Gates met with. Looked by alley several brilliantly illuminated blocks of flats, Eric asked: „We walk, which building do you live in?” 艾瑞克看了下手表,还不到八点钟,此时回去还可以与克里斯等人沟通一下刚才与比尔.盖茨会面的事情。看了看小路旁的几栋灯火通明的公寓楼,艾瑞克问道:“我们走吧,你住哪栋楼？” „That,” Carolyn has referred to the red brick apartment in their front. “那个,”卡洛琳指了指两人前方的一栋红砖公寓。 Arrives at the apartment entrance, some Carolyn does not abandon stops the footsteps. Asking: „Eric, when do you leave Boston?” 一路来到公寓入口,卡洛琳有些不舍地停下脚步。问道:“艾瑞克,你什么时候离开波士顿？” Eric had planned The Day After Tomorrow to go back, but the sudden appearance of front door schoolmate, the Eric traveling schedule must certainly change, said: „This I am not quite definite, suddenly were also many just matter, it is estimated that must stay on for 45 days.” 艾瑞克本来已经打算后天回去,但大门同学的突然出现,艾瑞克的行程肯定要进行更改,道:“这个我不太确定,突然又多了刚刚的事情,估计还要呆上45天吧。” Carolyn was anticipating could also like last year in London and Berlin, had a look in Boston with Eric everywhere, but she also listens to him to be definitely busy from the Eric expression in the next few days, can only relinquish. Thinks that the girl weakly said: „Eric, drinks the cup coffee to our apartments, I...... Oh, I can introduce that my roommate gives you to know.” 卡洛琳本来还期待着或许能够像去年在伦敦和柏林那样,与艾瑞克在波士顿到处看看,但她也从艾瑞克的语气里听出来他未来几天肯定会非常忙碌,只能作罢。想了想,女孩才弱弱地说道:“艾瑞克,要不,到我们的公寓喝杯咖啡吧,我……哦,我可以介绍我的室友给你认识。” Eric slightly hesitates, just about to rejects, has gazed at Carolyn of his expression change to be anxious saying: „That, if incorrect words, on consider as finished, I, bye.” 艾瑞克略一迟疑,刚要拒绝,一直注视着他表情变化的卡洛琳就惴惴不安道:“那,如果不行的话,就算了,我,再见。” In the Eric heart sighed slightly, said: „Good, but, Carolyn, you knew general at this time, what did a girl invite the boy to go to her dwelling to drink the coffee to represent?” 艾瑞克心中微微一叹,道:“好吧,不过,卡洛琳,你知道一般这个时候,一个女孩子邀请男孩去自己的住处喝咖啡代表着什么吗？” Carolyn has gawked, remembers in some fragments that in the books or the film and television see, the cheek is immediately red, stutter said: „Or, drinks tea also good.” 卡洛琳愣了下,想起在书本或者影视里看到的一些片段,脸蛋立刻就通红起来,结结巴巴地说道:“要不,要不,喝茶也行。” This girl started to sell to sprout. 这妮子又开始卖萌了。 Eric is suppressing the impulsion of smiling, said seriously: „Carolyn, you must remember, later cannot this time invite any man to drink the coffee to your dwelling absolutely, tea, fruit juice and milk, even if the running water is not good.” 艾瑞克强忍着莞尔的冲动,郑重其事地说道:“卡洛琳,你要记住,以后绝对不许这种时候邀请任何男人到你住处喝咖啡,还有茶、果汁、牛奶哪怕自来水都不行。” Carolyn also responded at this time that was twisting two small hands charmingly, heard Eric saying that was actually very cleverly um one. 卡洛琳此时也反应过来,娇羞地捻着两只小手,听到艾瑞克这么说,却是很乖巧地嗯了一声。 Brings Eric to enter the block of flats hall, Carolyn saw that on the wall small flag of mailbox has set upright, walked to put out a letter, somewhat joyfully has raised toward Eric , the expression seemed sharing own small secret: „Eric, the paternal aunt gave me to receive a letter Oh.” 带着艾瑞克走进公寓楼大厅,卡洛琳看到墙壁上自己信箱的小旗子竖了起来,走过去拿出了一封信件,有些欣喜地朝艾瑞克扬了下,语气似乎在分享自己的小秘密:“艾瑞克,姑姑又给我来信了哦。” Eric walks toward the staircase with a smile, said: „It seems like your paternal aunt waits you to be also better compared with your Papa Mama.” 艾瑞克笑着朝楼梯走去,说道:“看来你姑姑比你爸爸妈妈待你还要好啊。” „Naturally is not,” Carolyn had tried to find out under the envelope, feels in as if to have the picture, then impatiently disassembles. Said: „Was only my paternal aunt leaves home many years, has lived in Greece, she wrote to me last year, but also made me do not tell Papa Mama.” “当然不是,”卡洛琳摸索了下信封,感受到里面似乎有照片,便迫不及待地拆开。道:“只是我姑姑离家很多年了,一直住在希腊,她去年才给我写信,还让我不要告诉爸爸妈妈。” Eric feels pouring out of Carolyn to want prosperously, then follows girl's expression saying: „Since left that many years, why your paternal aunt does want to write to you?” 艾瑞克感受到卡洛琳的倾诉欲旺,便顺着女孩的语气说道:“既然已经离开那么多年,那你姑姑为什么要给你写信？” „Paternal aunt said that she thought of the family member.” Carolyn pulls out several pictures from the envelope cautiously, suddenly remembers anything to resemble, said: „Was right, the paternal aunt also mentioned you Oh, she said that she said on newspaper saw our matter.” “姑姑说她想念亲人了。”卡洛琳小心翼翼地从信封里掏出几张照片,突然又想起什么似的,说道:“对了,姑姑还提起你了哦,她说,她说在报纸上看到了我们的事情。” Eric did not think one and Carolyn has any matter, it is estimated that was her paternal aunt has misunderstood, said at will: „Oh, what did your paternal aunts say?” 艾瑞克并不觉得自己和卡洛琳有什么事情,估计是她那个姑姑误会了,随意道:“哦,你姑姑都说了什么？” „She encourages me to pursue her happiness bravely. Do not be fettered by the family,” girl glanced Eric one cautiously, in the expression was bringing charmingly, the intonation gradually dropped, said that finally almost became micro inaudible. “她鼓励我勇敢追求自己的幸福。不要被家族束缚,”女孩小心翼翼地瞟了艾瑞克一眼,语气里带着娇羞,声调逐渐下降,说道最后几乎变得微不可闻。 Eric somewhat awkwardly does not know how should continue to talk, Carolyn then held up several pictures in hand to give Eric: „Look, this is my paternal aunt.” 艾瑞克有些尴尬地不知道该怎么继续搭话,卡洛琳便举起了手中的几张照片递给艾瑞克:“看,这是我姑姑。” In corridor street light somewhat pale yellow, Eric received the picture. Only saw that on a small yacht broad side closes right up against one to wear the golden hair woman of white long skirt, the flesh is fair. The makings are elegantly simple, bring to let the person very comfortable smiling face, looks like appearance that as if only then 30 raises one's head, appears very young, in foreheads as if with Carolyn also some similar. 楼道里路灯有些昏黄,艾瑞克接过照片。只看到一条小型的游艇船舷上靠着一个身穿白色长裙的金发女人,肌肤白皙。气质淡雅,带着让人很舒服笑容,看起来似乎只有三十出头的模样,显得非常年轻,眉宇间似乎与卡洛琳还有一些相似。 Eric stared at the first picture to look for several seconds, has given back to Carolyn on the politeness. Thinks highly saying: „Your paternal aunt is very pretty.” 艾瑞克只是盯着第一张照片看了几秒,就礼貌地还给了卡洛琳。恭维道:“你姑姑很漂亮。” „Thank you,” Carolyn received the picture, returns in the envelope carefully, somewhat regrettably said: „I, if can be long same is good with the paternal aunt.” “谢谢你,”卡洛琳接过照片,小心地放回信封里,有些遗憾地说道:“我要是能长得和姑姑一样就好了。” Eric remembered just feeling, said: „I thought you very look like.” 艾瑞克想起刚刚的感觉,说道:“我觉得你们两个挺像的啊。” „Paternal aunt compares to look like the paternal grandmother. Both of us like,” Carolyn did not shake the head, looked at Eric, extended the small hand to gesticulate in own top of the head, envied: „Moreover, I meant me, if can same take a higher position with the paternal aunt.” “姑姑比较像奶奶。我们俩不像的,”卡洛琳摇头,看了眼艾瑞克,伸出小手在自己头顶比划了下,羡慕道:“而且,我是说我要是能和姑姑一样高就好了。” Eric said: „Your present stature was just good, does not need to envy others.” 艾瑞克道:“你现在的个子刚刚好,不用羡慕别人。” Carolyn some do not raise the small face self-confidently: „Real?” 卡洛琳有些不自信地扬起小脸:“真的吗？” „Vacation.” “假的。” „Your this bastard.” “你这个坏蛋。” ...... …… Melanie is whether must coming across the Eric Williams matter tells Carolyn to intertwine, finally decided told this matter, and is somewhat guilty for some envy psychology that oneself had, Carolyn always very much sincerely treats everyone, Melanie thought one had this idea is really too should not. 梅兰妮为是否要将遇到艾瑞克.威廉姆斯的事情告诉卡洛琳纠结了一番,最终还是决定将这件事告诉她,并为自己产生的一些嫉妒心理有些内疚,卡洛琳总是很诚恳地对待身边的每一个人,梅兰妮觉得自己产生这种想法实在是太不应该了。 However, to having the supper, Melanie had discovered that has not come back Carolyn to the present, remembers that to trade Howard Heinz of girlfriend to pester Carolyn every other day recently, Melanie worried. Carolyn was too purely was really good, if were plotted together to swindle somebody by that family/home, definitely will be injured. 不过,一直到吃过晚餐,梅兰妮才发现卡洛琳到现在还没有回来,想起那个三天两头就要换女朋友的霍华德.亨氏最近一直在纠缠卡洛琳,梅兰妮不由地担忧了起来。卡洛琳实在是太单纯善良了,如果被那个家伙骗到手,肯定会受到伤害。 In Melanie decides to go personally Carolyn looks, finally hears the sound that some people have opened the door. 就在梅兰妮决定亲自去将卡洛琳找回来时,终于听到了有人开门的声音。 Melanie walks toward the entrance hastily, said to that pink small form that comes in first with the expression excitedly: „Carolyn, you guess that whom I run into the afternoon?” 梅兰妮连忙朝门口走去,用兴奋地语气对先进来的那个粉红色小身影道:“卡洛琳,你猜猜我下午遇到了谁？” Carolyn had not replied that another person's shadow followed, said with a smile: „Isn't I?” 卡洛琳还没有回答,另外一个人影就跟了进来,笑着说道:“不会是我吧？” „,” Melanie opened mouth surprisedly, saw that Eric smiles to walk to look at itself, the hand and foot expression, said hastily: „Mr. Williams, you looked for Carolyn specially, I also think that is only the coincidence.” “啊,”梅兰妮惊讶地张了张嘴,看到艾瑞克微笑着走进来望着自己,连忙手足表情,道:“威廉姆斯先生,原来你是特意来找卡洛琳的啊,我还以为只是巧合呢。” Eric also heard the Melanie form, realized that had such skillful matter, said: „Truly is a coincidence, I do not know that before Carolyn studies here.” 艾瑞克也是听到了梅兰妮的身影,才意识到发生了这么巧的事情,道:“确实是个巧合,我之前并不知道卡洛琳在这里读书。” Carolyn wanted to do to introduce for them that hears their words, is surprised, about looked at several, asked: „Did you know?” 卡洛琳本来想要为两人作介绍,听到他们的话,更是惊讶,左右看了几眼,问道:“你们两个认识？” „I go to the supermarket in the afternoon, just meets Mr. Williams in West,” Melanie explained simply, also puts out a hand toward Eric officially: „Hello, Mr. Williams, I called Melanie Gleason.” “我下午去超级市场,刚好在西大街遇到威廉姆斯先生,”梅兰妮简单地解释了下,又正式地朝艾瑞克伸出手:“你好,威廉姆斯先生,我叫梅兰妮.格里森。” „Called me Eric,” Eric and opposite party have grasped starting. “叫我艾瑞克,”艾瑞克与对方握了下手。 If other women, at this time slightly will question Eric and process of Melanie acquaintance absolutely, but is obvious Carolyn not to realize these, instead in the coincidences to two population is excited, making Eric sit down, Carolyn walks toward the kitchen, just got to the kitchen entrance, remembers anything to resemble, turns head to ask: „Eric, do you, what you drink?” 如果是其他女人,此时绝对会小小地质疑一下艾瑞克与梅兰妮相识的经过,但明显啊卡洛琳根本就没有意识到这些,反而对两人口中的巧合非常兴奋,让艾瑞克坐下,卡洛琳就朝厨房走去,刚刚走到厨房门口,才想起什么似的,扭头问道:“艾瑞克,你,你喝什么？” Eric has smiled gently, said: „Coffee.” 艾瑞克轻轻笑了下,道:“还是咖啡吧。” Melanie sits down by Eric, although also somewhat acts with constraint, many of but obviously Carolyn talkative, see Eric to size up the arrangement in apartment at will, said on own initiative: „Here is I and Carolyn arranges together, waits to make Carolyn lead you to go to her room to visit Oh, there is more interesting.” 梅兰妮在艾瑞克旁边坐下,虽然还有些矜持,但明显比卡洛琳健谈的多,见艾瑞克随意打量着公寓里的布置,主动说道:“这里是我和卡洛琳一起布置的,等下可以让卡洛琳带你去她房间里参观一下哦,那里更加有趣。” Melanie was saying, but also Ai younger sister blinked toward Eric. Eric does not know completely Melanie is any meaning, but in the kitchen actually immediately finds out a small head: „Eric, you, cannot enter my room, that too not politeness.” 梅兰妮说着,还暧妹地朝艾瑞克眨了眨眼睛。艾瑞克完全不知道梅兰妮是什么意思,但厨房里却立刻探出一颗小脑袋:“艾瑞克,你,不许进我的房间,那,那太不礼貌了。” Eric heard Carolyn saying that almost also understood anything, in the girl room nothing else but was some and related thing: „Relax, Carolyn, I such will not do.” 艾瑞克听到卡洛琳这么说,差不多也就明白了些什么,女孩房间里无外乎是一些与自己有关的东西:“放心吧,卡洛琳,我不会这么做的。” Carolyn really felt relieved that takes back the vision to continue to bustle about without hesitation. 卡洛琳果然放下心来,毫不犹豫地收回目光继续忙碌起来。 Melanie silent smiles, puts out a hand to refer to near the left hand secretly a door, Eric has actually been smiling shaking the head. 梅兰妮无声地笑着,伸手偷偷指了指左手边一间房门,艾瑞克却只是微笑着摇了摇头。 Melanie also cracks a joke, asks: „Eric, you come Boston, for the matter of that several company on the Massachusetts main road?” 梅兰妮也只是开个玩笑,问道:“艾瑞克,你来波士顿,是为了在马萨诸塞大道上那几家公司的事情吗？” „Yes,” Eric remembered Carolyn saying that in dining room their teachers have treated as the teaching case these three companies, glanced the eye to place by not far away television cabinet smiling face bright group photo of Carolyn and Melanie on somewhere the bridge, the intention moved slightly, asks: „Carolyn had said in the afternoon you treated as the case to analyze these three companies, you thought that their situations were what kind of?” “是啊,”艾瑞克想起卡洛琳在餐厅里说她们导师已经将这三家公司当做教学案例,瞟了眼放在不远处电视柜旁的一张卡洛琳与梅兰妮在某处大桥上笑容灿烂的合照,心念微动,问道:“卡洛琳下午说过你们将这三家公司当做案例进行了分析,你觉得它们的情况怎么样？” Melanie does not understand why Eric will probe itself suddenly, but, she also realized that this absolutely is not a misdemeanor, has considered, said: „I think that you should not be divided into three companies them, especially, if continues maintains the current condition, is getting bigger and bigger along with the user scales of three companies, will have more and more management and technical contradictions, slows down the paces of development of three companies, only then combines into one, can solve the cooperativity problem. Moreover, we in investigation process, although cannot obtain the concrete data, but also realized that the user scales of these three companies have achieved a very terrifying figure, moreover trend that this expansion speed has not slowed down, if they cannot realize the business landscape successfully, with rapid increase of operation cost, I think, even if you , will be very difficult to undertake this huge expenditure.”( To be continued.) 梅兰妮不明白艾瑞克为什么会突然试探自己,不过,她也意识到这绝对不会是一件坏事,考虑了下,说道:“我认为你不应该将它们分成三家公司,特别是以后,如果继续保持目前的状态,随着三家公司的用户规模越来越大,将会产生越来越多的管理和技术冲突,减缓三家公司的发展步伐,只有合而为一,才能够解决协同性的问题。另外,我们在调查过程中,虽然得不到具体的数据,但也意识到这三家公司的用户规模已经达到了一个非常恐怖的数字,而且这种扩张速度并没有减缓的趋势,如果它们不能成功实现商业转型的话,随着运营成本的迅速增加,我想即使是你,也将很难承担这笔庞大的开支。”(未完待续。)
