July 16, 1975, was an ordinary Sunday, but for Andrew, it was a very memorable day. On this day, Andrew will be the first time to visit his future father-in-law's house.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, after carefully reviewing the prepared gifts, Andrew drove off for Liverpool.

Two and a half hours by car, before 10 a.m., Andrew came to the vicinity of Emma's house in Liverpool, found a hotel, checked in, and repaired it. At the same time, the hotel was asked to arrange a car wash business.

About half an hour later, Andrew called Emma's home and said he would be arriving in 10 minutes.

In less than ten minutes, Andrew was outside the door of Emma's villa. As a result of the earlier notice, Emma's housekeeper was already waiting at the door of the villa to welcome Andrew.

After some introduction, under the guidance of the butler, Andrew parked the car. With the gift, I walked into Emma's house with a little trepidation.

At the door of the main living room, Emma and her three older brothers greeted Andrew. Accompanied by Emma, who walked into the main living room, Emma's parents stood up and greeted Andrew warmly. After a while of greetings, I sat down and chatted.

Emma had already informed the family of Andrew's basic situation. Emma's family also learned about Andrew and his family through social connections in London.

I still admire Andrew, a fiction writer, an outstanding graduate of the Economics Department of Oxford University, and the Smith family is also a century-old family in London, which is not a bad family in the middle class.

And Andrew himself started his own business at a young age, and now owns a listed company in Hong Kong with assets of tens of millions of pounds.

Although they knew a lot about Andrew's situation, Emma's family was quite cautious and arranged this meeting invitation. Emma's family is mainly in order to be able to observe Andrew's conduct up close, after all, it is related to the little princess Emma in the family, and the lifelong happiness in the future is worth being cautious.

Emma's third brother, Leo, is a big Liverpool fan and is a year older than Andrew. It was Andrew's football novels "Football Boy" and "Football Prince" that he was a loyal reader of the two books. Sitting in the chair next to Andrew, special enthusiasm for Andrew.

After his parents chatted with Andrew for a while, Leo couldn't wait to ask Andrew about the subsequent editions of the two football novels.

The follow-up to the two football novels, originally Andrew envisioned, plans to follow two more, "The Football Emperor" and "God on the Sidelines". However, because of the tension of his studies later, he was delayed. In the future, when I have free time, I will continue to write and finish.

Leo was very happy when he got Andrew's follow-up plan for the two football novels, and chatted with Andrew about football for a while.

Later, Emma's mother and Andrew talked about running a family and marriage. In this regard, Andrew was very frank, saying that he agrees with tradition and conservatism in this regard.

Later, the main topic was economic and industrial management, which is Andrew's strength, the analysis of the current situation of the world economy, looking forward to the new scientific and technological revolution under the influence of the change of industrial management direction, industrial management, Andrew's have some classic discussions. Several of them were business men, so they talked very well.

Seeing that it was almost noon, the morning conversation stopped at the prompting of Emma's mother, and Andrew, accompanied by Leo, attended the luncheon at Emma's house after a relaxing tour of Emma's garden.

At the luncheon, Andrew saw Emma smiling. However, due to the occasion, the two simply hugged each other and did not show great intimacy. But Emma's hint made Andrew put his mind at ease, and the first level was successfully passed.

After luncheon, Emma's parents asked Leo to take Andrew on a tour of Liverpool. As a Liverpool fan, Leo led Andrew's first tour point was Anfield Stadium. After that, we went to Liverpool Cathedral and St George's Hall for a tour.

Back at Emma's house, Andrew met Emma's grandparents, and after a greeting greeting, he sat down with the two elders and drank tea and chatted with Emma. Under the guidance of their baby granddaughter Emma, the two old men chatted with Andrew about Chinese culture.

And Andrew's Shanghainese dialect made the two old men talk with great interest and felt very cordial to Andrew.

After the dinner, after a half-hour break for tea, Andrew offered his farewell. Emma's family still arranged for Leo to accompany Andrew to the hotel to check in.

At Emma's house, after saying goodbye to Andrew, the family sat down in the living room and talked about their feelings for Andrew.

After synthesizing the feelings and opinions of the family, Emma's prospective boyfriend, Andrew's appointment inspection was successfully passed and approved.

In the evening, Andrew received a call from Emma at the hotel, and the excited Emma informed Andrew that the relationship between the two had been approved by the whole family.

In this regard, Andrew is also very happy, the love between the two can be blessed by the family, that is happiness.

The two chatted on the phone for a while, and Andrew reminded Emma to tell her family in advance, and tomorrow he would ask Emma's parents to take Emma to their London home for a formal meeting.

The next morning, Andrew came to Emma's house again. After greeting each other and sitting down for tea, Emma's parents explained their family's opinion to Andrew, agreeing to Emma's formal relationship with Andrew.

At this point, Andrew sincerely thanked the two elders, and cautiously asked Emma's parents to agree that Emma would go to Andrew's house in London tomorrow to meet officially. Emma's parents happily agreed.

After that, Andrew and Emma go out together to buy a gift for Andrew's house. In the evening, Andrew informed his parents that he would bring his girlfriend to the house at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

On the morning of his third day in Liverpool, Andrew said goodbye to Emma's family and drove with her to London. Along the way, there was no hurry, and some small attractions along the way left a sweet and happy figure of the two.

Just before 3pm, the pair arrived at Andrew's small apartment in Chelsea for a brief renovation. At four o'clock, Andrew brought Emma to the house, and after some introductions and greetings, Emma sent the prepared gifts.

Andrew's house, relatively speaking, is relatively simple and casual. So the atmosphere was very relaxed, and the family was very relieved and happy for the first girlfriend that Andrew brought home.

blessed the love of the two, and her mother Ruth behaved very kindly, so that the two daughters who met for the first time quickly became familiar and harmonious. Because there was no housekeeper and helper, Mother Ruth also took Emma and prepared dinner together.

After a short break for dinner, as the man's parent, his father Allen called Emma's house, and after greeting Emma's father, he said that the whole family recognized Andrew and Emma's relationship, and thanked Emma's family for their recognition of Andrew.

Over the next month, Andrew and Emma drove around England. The relaxed world of two people, lovers who get along day and night, there is no lack of joy, warm and sometimes sweet.

In mid-August, the duo's road trip ended, and Andrew and Emma had just returned to London. I received good news that Andrew's graduation thesis "The Invention of Electronic Computers and the Impact of Automation Applications on Economic Development" was included in the famous British economic magazine "The Economist" and published in the monthly magazine in August.

The article can be included and published in the famous British economic magazine "The Economist". It's an honor, and the young Andrew Smith has some impression of fame in the world of economics.

In this regard, his father Alan is even happier than Andrew, and this has made the Smith family famous! You must know that the vast majority of the articles included and published in The Economist are masterpieces of some well-known economists, and the academic starting point is very demanding. It is a must-read economic publication for London's upper class families.

Andrew was indifferent to the fact that his article could be published in The Economist. On the contrary, they are more concerned about the outcome of the acquisition negotiations with Chelsea Football Club.

The £8 million price was completed with the overall acquisition of Chelsea Football Club. The Smith family's subordinates have settled in and handed over, and just waiting for Andrew's signature to confirm that the family funds have been paid on behalf of the family, and the acquisition funds are 8 million pounds.

After signing the contract for the transfer, Andrew enquired about the club's financial debts and transferred £13 million to the club's money account.

Arrangements were made for the injection to be repaid: £8 million was returned to the family, all debts of Chelsea Football Club were cleared, and the remainder was used as the club's operating capital.

After dealing with Chelsea Football Club, Andrew sent Emma home.

Emma's family knew about the article published in the monthly magazine "The Economist", and when Andrew sent Emma home, he was congratulated by Emma's family. After a night in Liverpool, Andrew said goodbye in the morning and plans to leave for Hong Kong tomorrow.

But planning is not as fast as change, and at 10 a.m. Andrew drove home. There are guests visiting the house, and his father, Allen, is entertaining two guests.

Andrew originally wanted to go about his business after a simple greeting, but his father Allen explained that the two government guests were looking for him to talk about things.

His father introduced Andrew to two government guests, Mr. Thomson from the Department of Trade and Industry and Mr. Kyle from the Science and Technology Committee.

The two government guests were invited to attend next week's Symposium on Macro Technology Development, hosted by the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Science and Technology Committee. Andrew will participate in a panel discussion on the development of electronic computers. The workshop will take place for one week.

As for the invitation to the seminar sponsored by this government department, Andrew asked two guests of the government department for no reason, and the answer he got was caused by the publication of an article published in The Economist.

Andrew couldn't refuse this situation, and when he saw his father Allen's expectant gaze, he agreed to the invitation in a daze. Mr. Henry, who was in Hong Kong, was informed and his plan to go to Hong Kong was postponed by 2 weeks.

It is not clear what happened to the computer development seminar he was invited to attend, but Andrew took some time to sort out the materials on the development of electronic computers.

The computer technology of this era is still relatively primitive, but the main development direction in the future has emerged: giant, miniaturization, networking, and intelligence.

Andrew collected and sorted out the data on these four main future development directions.

A week later, Andrew came to the seminar venue, and after signing in, the staff led Andrew to the conference room of the computer development research group.

In the conference room, Andrew met with several instructors from the Department of Economics and the Computer Lab at the University of Oxford, and after a greeting greeting, he talked about the computer development seminar.

Speaking of which, the topic of computer development can be included in this symposium on the development of macro science and technology, and Andrew's article published in The Economist is indispensable. This is the first of its kind to link the development of computer technology with future changes in the economic and industrial pattern.

Therefore, the development of computer technology and industrialization came into being as a topic of discussion in the direction of the government's macroeconomic development. Andrew, as the initiator of this discussion topic, was of course invited to participate.

The main purpose of this seminar is to discuss the macro prospects of the development and industrialization of computer technology.

Andrew, as the initiator of this discussion topic, was also fortunate to arrange a speech at the conference, and Andrew's prospect of four development directions of computer technology was recognized by the participating experts.

In the subsequent seminars on computer technology, Andrew could only be an observer and listen to the professional macros of the experts and professors.

A week later, the workshop finally ended.
