After dinner ended hastily and Rick was sent away, Audrey didn't let Evan laze off and grabbed him to clean up the remnants of the table.

The two of them chatted while working.

While chatting, Audrey suddenly asked, "Honey, what did Nina say on the phone just now that made you lose the mood to celebrate?"

Evan, who was helping Audrey dry the washed dishes with a cloth, was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically, "Was it that obvious that I just acted?"

Audrey tilted her head to look at her lover and said softly, "Rick probably doesn't feel it, but for me, it's obvious." ”

"Who made my face shake in front of me every day? I can feel any change. ”

Evan said, "Is that so? It seems that my face has been deeply imprinted on your heart, and I am deeply honored. ”

After a little poor mouth, Evan said, "Nina mentioned my eldest brother on the phone. ”

"Your eldest brother?" Audrey asked, recalling the information Evan had introduced to each member of the Warren family, "the one who joined the army?" I remember it was called Colin, right?"

"That's right, you have a good memory. Evan habitually complimented.

Audrey rolled her eyes, the compliment was not sincere at all, and the tone seemed to be lying to a child. Normally, with this sentence, Audrey would fight with Evan, but today, Audrey did not.

"It has something to do with your eldest brother, he's in the army, shouldn't it be?"

Audrey's face grimaced, thinking of the worst possible outcome.

When a loved one joins the army, what the family is most worried about is nothing more than receiving a funeral letter one day.

Audrey experienced the war, and the first bad news that came to her mind was this.

As soon as Evan saw Audrey's expression, he knew that she was thinking too much, and hurriedly said, "Honey, it's not what you think. ”

"My brother is just retiring. ”

"Retirement?" Audrey put away her expression when she heard this, and asked puzzledly: "It's just retirement, so why do you look like that?"

Evan explained, "Because, my brother is not going to be a man who will retire easily!"

If you ask the Warren family what they think about Colin's withdrawal from the army, it is estimated that everyone except Colin himself will only be happy, especially Nina. In the months after Colin joined the army, Nina scolded Colin in front of Evan almost every day, wasn't it because he advocated to join the army, so she had to worry about it every day, afraid that he would really go to the battlefield and even die?

However, Nina and Earl still did not give up persuading Colin, and let Colin come back every once in a while. There are all sorts of excuses, but they don't work at all.

It can be seen that Colin really wants to develop in the army.

How could such a Colin suddenly retire?

Evan couldn't help but wonder.

To be honest, Colin is retired, and he is arguably the most supportive one besides Nina. This is not to say that he only has a letter with Colin, and his feelings for Colin are completely blank, but because Evan knows that it is now 1949.

In 1949, U.S. investments in that ancient country across the Pacific were on the verge of bankruptcy.

Soon, the free countries led by the United States and the red countries will have a bloody battle on the Samhan Peninsula, and the newly defeated country will become a logistics base, so the chain on its body will almost be loosened, and the economy will quickly improve.

As the main force of the free country, Colin's navy will be sent to the battlefield 100%.

On the battlefield, everything is really hard to say.

But maybe Audrey's guess will come true one day.

Colin's retirement at this point in time was just right – perfectly avoided the war that was coming.

If it weren't for the fact that Earl had a relationship in the army, he would never have done anything to force his son to retire, and Nina informed him of the news, Evan almost thought that they had made it.

Since it wasn't Earl and Nina, and Colin himself hadn't changed his mind, it meant that something must have happened.

Nine times out of ten, Colin's retirement was not his own will.

The reason for this, Evan can't know now, Nina probably knows some, but since he didn't tell him just now, he won't bother to ask.

To find out, just wait for Colin to come back and ask if you can't.

I just don't know the exact time when he will return to the United States.

“…… That's the way it is, I guess Colin must have had something wrong with the army and had to retire. ”

After Evan finished explaining, Audrey nodded knowingly, "I see." ”

"Don't worry too much, if you want me to say retirement, it's fine. ”

She didn't want her lover's brother to go to war.

She doesn't like military people.

……

Nina informed Evan early on, saying that Colin would go to Los Angeles first after retiring and asked him to pay attention to picking up people, but Evan waited left and right, but never waited for anyone.

It's March.

For more than a month, Evan was busy running between school and work, and he had to take up Sundays that he used to rest. Fortunately, Audrey is reasonable, and she herself wants to learn a little more, so the relationship between the two has not been affected.

With the full dedication of all employees, the construction progress of Xerox's photocopier production line is in line with Evan's requirements.

Watching the suppliers gradually take shape, the production line gradually complete, and the empty factory building being filled with machines and people little by little, the smiles on the faces of Wells and Carlson and others became brighter and brighter.

In this regard, only Girard is still not satisfied, because if the production line is not faster, he will be annoyed by the phone.

The photocopiers on this side gradually spread, and on the other side, the television industry also ushered in an outbreak. In January, the sales of TVs in the United States exceeded 150,000 units, of which SONY TVs accounted for 30,000. Seeing this situation,GE,RCA and other peers finally couldn't sit still,Almost at the same time, they launched new products at the price of 299 US dollars,Hoping to curb the growth momentum of SONY TV。

Rick's plan went so smoothly that by the end of January, he had gone from a small credit department to executive director on the bank's board of directors. With this title of executive director, Rick successfully embarked on the path of a banker.

On March 2, Evan and his party traveled to Boston, Massachusetts, to attend the annual meeting of the American Physical Society.

This is a long-planned itinerary.

Colin never arrived, and Evan had no choice but to delegate the task to Virginia before leaving.

Prior to this, Virginia did not know the news of Colin's imminent retirement.

"Evan, you're good enough to tell me such a big news until now. ”

Virginia said huffingly.
