"Ahh

Audrey glared at Evan hatefully, and in less than an hour she had lost all her previous victories, she had lost her temper.

At the end of the game, Evan gave all his winnings to Simran and Bob, who had lost a lot, and he didn't have a penny left.

The two didn't want to accept it, but Evan said, "You should take it as a tip," and they had to put the change away.

By this time, it was already dark outside the window, so Evan asked Isla and them to go to dinner, and asked them to bring one back to Audrey.

As for himself, he had eaten only an hour ago and had no appetite yet.

"Don't ...... Spare ...... Hahaha...... It's tickling me!"

"Knock Knock"

While Evan and Audrey were fighting, there was a knock on the carriage door.

It's Simran.

Simlan delivered Audrey's dinner to the car before returning to the dining car for dinner.

The two stopped playing, Audrey ate dinner, and Evan himself half-lay down on the bed and read the newspaper.

Newspapers are delivered to the train as they pass through the various stations.

The one Evan was reading was called the Salt Lake City Tribune.

Evan, the "headline" of this newspaper, became interested as soon as he read the headline, and immediately read the text carefully.

"At the commencement ceremony of Harvard University, the new Secretary of State Marshall made a grand statement that we should send money to the ruined European continent?"

Marshall?

It's like blowing the wind on the Marshall Plan!

The inertia of history is really big enough......

I have the impression that the European continent, which was hit hard in World War II, relied on the assistance of the Marshall Plan to recover quickly, especially West Germany, which recovered the fastest and developed the fastest, and it did not take long for it to sit on the throne of the second largest industrial output in the world. This aid program, which will cost more than $10 billion, has not only turned the economies of Western European countries around, eased social contradictions, effectively maintained the stability of the capitalist world, and promoted the process of economic integration in Western Europe, but also allowed the United States to release its own capital and enter European countries, strengthening its leading position in the capitalist world, and in addition, bringing huge orders to its own enterprises and enabling economic prosperity.

However, it was precisely because of the Marshall Plan that the confrontation between the Cold War was deepened. It led the Soviet Union to come up with the Molotov plan-for-tat.

Of course, most of this has little to do with you.

With the industry in his hands at this time, there is little to be gained from this plan.

Most of the money received by Western Europe was spent on grain, fodder, fertilizer, fuel, machinery, vehicles, raw materials, and some other materials, and none of them had anything to do with Evan's industry.

The only hope is probably a medical product like a band-aid.

In addition, Ando Kazukiyo's instant noodle association is estimated to be able to get a little scraps, provided that someone can help.

Well, this one seems to be able to do a little bit on its own.

With his relationship with Amor Foods at this time, Mr. Frederick should be able to help with this.

Thinking of this, Evan couldn't help but bow his head slightly, and secretly kept this thought in his heart.

Evan ...... Evan?"

"Hmm, what's the matter?" Audrey called out a second time, and Evan came back to his senses.

Audrey said, "It's nothing, it's just that you're in a daze...... What are you thinking?"

Evan put the newspaper aside and beckoned to Audrey. Audrey climbed into bed and curled up in Evan's arms.

Evan hugged Audrey and asked softly, "Have you ever thought about going back to your hometown in the future?"

Audrey fell silent.

Evan knew that Audrey didn't want to remember her past in Europe, but he continued: "I just saw a news article in the newspaper. My guess is that it won't be long before the United States will lend a helping hand to Europe, and then countries will have a spring of recovery. ”

"The Netherlands and Belgium are no exception. ”

After a pause for a few seconds, Evan added, "If there's a chance, how about we go back to your hometown together?"

“…… Uh-huh!" Audrey replied softly, burying her head in the Evan room.

That night, Evan didn't lose sleep again, although he was able to fall asleep in the middle of the night.

The next day (June 15), at 11 a.m. CT, the "City of Los Angeles" train arrived in Chicago.

After a two-hour stop in Chicago, the group boarded a train to New York.

This time, Bob only bought a regular sleeper ticket, and it was in the same carriage as the crew.

When they met again, Miss Fabre naturally didn't give Evan and Audrey a good look.

And Abbott cared about Evan's health as soon as they met, and Audrey's excuse that day was that Evan was sick.

Evan can only say that it has gotten much better.

On the afternoon of June 16, the train arrived at Grand Central Station in New York in Manhattan.

Grand Central Terminal is the largest station in the United States. The main attraction of the station is the high waiting hall and the design of the pedestrian and vehicle lanes. The main staircase in the waiting hall is in the style of the Paris Opera House, and the vault of the hall is drawn by the French artist Paul Helleu based on a manuscript from the Middle Ages, with more than 2,500 stars.

"Evan!

At the exit of the station, Girard, who came to pick up people, raised his right hand after seeing the target, and shook vigorously in greeting.

He was greeted by Attorney Albert.

To organize the Rubik's Cube competition, Gilard came to New York two weeks earlier than Evan.

"It's been a hard journey!"

After receiving Evan, Albert said, "Let's go." ”

"Wait!"

Audrey exclaimed, she had something to say, "I'd better be with the crew, it's more convenient." ”

Evan thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, though, Isla and Simland have to follow you." ”

The place where the crew lived was not in the same place as the hotel prepared by Albert and others.

Both of them have jobs on them, so they can only be separated here.

Ten minutes later, Evan, who had watched Audrey leave, got into the car that Albert had prepared.

"Girard, where are the qualifiers?"

As soon as he got in the car, Evan asked.

"Of the 100 preliminaries we have prepared, 82 have already finished the competition, and the remaining 18 will end tomorrow. ”

"If you want to go to the finals, you can only play in New York three days later. ”

Evan bowed slightly, then asked, "My mother is here tomorrow, right?"

"That's right!"

Nina is on the train to New York with Robert and the twins at this time. They came to New York because Robert was one of the finalists.

Robert is only how old he is, and Nina certainly doesn't feel comfortable with him coming to New York alone. Nina wants to come with her, and the twins naturally have to go along. Otherwise, the two will definitely fall out.
