Hillman was used to it—no one was home.
It's been like this since he was a kid.
The Hillman family is indeed the dominant materials supplier in the world, but this does not mean that they can sit back and remain at the top of the industry.
In this world with rapid technological development, the changes are too great. Regardless of whether it is a person or a force, if it does not make progress, it may be eliminated by the world.
Especially in the field of material development, the Hillman family has put in countless efforts from generation to generation, and has become quite different from other families in the same industry.
But in these years of forge ahead, there have been crises. A few years ago, the Hillman family was accidentally involved in a political scandal, and almost became trapped in the mud.
In order to save the declining family business, Hillman's grandfather and parents worked hard and spent several years to barely reverse the disadvantage and push it forward with a gust of east wind.
It's just that they were busy with work in those years, so they naturally neglected to discipline Hillman. Even if we meet in person, we can only interact online in many cases. It was not until a few years ago that things got better and the family reunited.
Of course, the so-called reunions were only at certain times. Hillman was separated from his parents and brothers and sisters most of the time. The family was scattered and busy.
This child grew up in such an environment with abundant material conditions but lack of companionship.
Hillman was not an awkward person. On the contrary, Aaron actually educated him very well. Even though in his early years he could only communicate online or spend a pitiful amount of time with his children in person, he still did everything he needed to do.
No matter how busy Aaron is, he will take time to pay attention to his children's learning progress, try his best to get in touch with the children who live alone at home through various online methods, and will communicate with them regularly to care about his growth...
Therefore, Hillman, who had been lonely all year round, did not develop an eccentric temperament. Instead, he was optimistic and lively under the influence of his father, and had an affinity inherited from the Hillman family.
Even though there is a layer of illusory companionship, it is still not as good as real companionship.
Hillman's childhood regrets could never be made up for. There is a reason why the other party desires friends so much.
Jiang Hui felt this feeling deeply. Because in her previous life, she lost her family when she was young and lived alone for a long time, so long that she had already forgotten what a young man's wanton life was like.
During countless unencumbered nights, she often felt lonely and confused.
This labor pain has been engraved in her bones since then and is indelible. Even though she has grown into an adult who does not need company and is no longer afraid of being alone, Jiang Hui will still be at a loss at certain moments.
She knew that the wound had never healed, but she had become accustomed to it.
What about Hillman? Does he really not care or is he already used to it...
"Too few people," Clarence murmured, seeming lost in his own thoughts.
"Oh, there's no way. I usually live with my housekeeper and grandpa at home. It would be wasteful to hire too many people. So my father bought a large number of automated furniture to replace labor. I have gotten used to it over the years." Hillman didn't seem to care. typical.
"Here, we're here, come in quickly." Hillman pushed open a heavy wooden door, and the scene inside was revealed to everyone.
This is a living room with a style that is quite consistent with the building. Perhaps in order to give visitors enough comfort, the color saturation has been processed and adjusted. Everything is just right without losing the noble and elegant meaning. It can be seen that the owner of the decoration has good taste, and he is unambiguous about the luxury and practicality.
Hillman had just led a few people to sit down, and the robot over there had already helped deliver the afternoon tea shop. There were not many things, but the sets were quite exquisite. At first glance, it seemed that they had been carefully matched.
He naturally greeted his friends for tea, and then drank by himself, commenting on things like "Uncle XX's craftsmanship has improved again" and "How does this tea taste?"
The friends who had been holding back their words just now were speechless for a moment when they saw this extremely relaxed man, but they gradually relaxed unconsciously.
A few people talked for a while, and the housekeeper who had been handling affairs with Aaron just now came over, but Hillman's father seemed to have not finished handling the matter and did not follow him.
The other party told them that Mr. Aaron had something to do, so the dinner time might be postponed for a week, and asked them if they wanted to eat first. Although it was an inquiry, the housekeeper had actually ordered the kitchen staff to help prepare dinner first, so there was no need to wait.
However, it was still early now, almost two o'clock and almost three o'clock, so the time they originally planned to have dinner would be around four o'clock. Even if it is delayed by one more star hour, no, even two star hours, it will just be dark, so why is there any need to be anxious?
Several people also knew that he must be busy with something and couldn't go to the appointment. Naturally, they were considerate of this elder who obviously took time out to entertain children like them. They all said that they should let the other person take his time. They could wait for a while and then find it themselves. Just activities.
Originally, Hillman said that he wanted to arrange for them to rest in the guest room for a while, and then come out after dinner. As for the opportunity to visit the Hillman mansion tomorrow, there will be many opportunities, because today happens to be their house cleaning day, the house is a bit messy, and it would be very rude to lead friends around the house.
But Clarence asked to use his simulated mecha training ground, so the group went there.
The Hillman family does have a simulated mecha training ground, but the problem is that it was purchased five years ago. In order to prevent Hillman from misusing it as a toy, Aaron locked up the machine before he went to school. As soon as the day ended, something went wrong.
It doesn't work anymore.
"... Damn it!" Hillman's eyes widened slightly.
Fortunately, he vowed to tell Jiang Tong and the others that he had a simulated training field at home and insisted on inviting people to play, but it broke before it was used... What should I do if the machine breaks down now?
The housekeeper who accompanied the children to the training room to make arrangements probably did not expect such a thing to happen. He immediately asked the maintenance technicians in the house to take a look. It should be that the internal core was completely destroyed. If it needs to be repaired, It will take at least five working days.
However, their vacation is only for four days...why bother?
Looking at the disappointed eyes of the children, Mr. Butler suggested as if he suddenly remembered something: "Although the simulation training is no longer available... If you don't mind, there is a training ground in the east courtyard."
