CHAPTER XIV

"What's next? What's next? ”

The anxious urging made John's head a little bigger.

Today he accompanied his wife to a party among friends, but he didn't expect to see that it was really all women, and it seemed that it was just to "watch" Anna's husband, all the focus was on himself, and after everyone was a little familiar, several women kept asking strange questions, such as that magical photo and the like, which made John really helpless.

However, looking at the few eager faces in front of him, and then at Anna's slightly proud expression, John could only sigh in his heart, but said with a gentle smile on his face: "The next word is the famous photo you saw." For the first time, humans were able to directly observe bones in the body without using knives, thus opening a new page in diagnostics......"

"Wow!"

It was like a fox suddenly scurrying into a duck's nest, and before John could finish his sentence, a series of exclamations rang out one after another.

The photo of the human hand bone back then was indeed very famous.

In exactly the same way as the trajectory of history, Roentgen's picture caused a huge sensation all over the world, just look at the ladies in front of you. Even these women, who have never been interested in technology, have heard of it, and chased after John to ask about the details, and the scene at that time can be seen.

It's just that a little different thing in this life is that there is also John alongside his name? The name Huntela.

Professor Röntgen's character is still quite good, even if John himself never asked for it, of course, he actually didn't have the face to ask for it, but when he published an X-ray heavyweight paper, Roentgen would almost always put John? Huntelaar brought his name, emphasizing that his original idea came from the American surgeon. With the launch of commercial X-ray machines in Europe and North America last year, Heinz Medical Devices has launched. It has caused a sensation in the medical world again, and the name has basically appeared in various magazines.

John, who was already not a small prestige, took another step upward.

In fact, even if John himself wanted to keep a low profile, his reputation could not be concealed. He definitely can't achieve success in medicine, and of course he doesn't want to keep a low profile, so whether it's in the field of surgery. Whether it was antitoxin serum, blood grouping and other basic research, including the "inspiring" Röntgen to invent X-rays, John never hid it. And as Heinz General Hospital has become more and more famous in the medical community in New York, it has published more and more papers, and it has become one of the emerging forces in the United States. But in other respects, John wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible.

But......

With the acquisition of the bank by the Huntelaar family, the name of the Huntelaar family could no longer be concealed and became loud in New York City. It has several large companies with unlimited prospects. And owning a few large companies and a big bank are completely two concepts, the former may not be able to enter the eyes of those bigwigs, except for people with a keen sense of smell like Morgan, many real bigwigs will not care, but after having Heinz Bank, the prototype of the Huntelaar consortium has been completely displayed in front of the world!

If it weren't for that, Anna probably wouldn't have found so many friends so quickly.

For example, in today's party, the people who attended were basically rich daughters. Among them are also such characters as Astor IV's new wife, Eva. You know, the United States in 1891. Especially in New York City, the Astor family is the real top people, much more famous than Morgan. John was also a little helpless about this, although he felt that Anna needed some "real" friends more, but from the perspective of identity and status, she really didn't have too many choices......

……

"Can I sit here? Mr. Huntelaar. ”

A little hoarse. But there was a different sexy voice that woke John up from his state of boredom.

"Of course! Have a seat! ”

Without thinking much about it at all, the long time of etiquette training made John subconsciously get up and say with a smile.

When he reacted, John looked at him, and there was a red-haired woman with a remarkable appearance standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile on her face. Look elsewhere. Anna and the rest of her friends didn't know what to do, and they weren't in the house at this time. John couldn't help but smile bitterly, he knew that these women were probably not interested in painting or anything, just looking for a reason to party. Since he arrived, the topic of conversation has not been about oil paintings, but there are a few works by European painters in the room, which he has never heard of......

Under John's polite gaze, the red-haired woman sat down.

Whether it was the polite words before, or the manners and movements when she sat down, the red-haired woman's performance was impeccable, obviously after a very strict and long training, not only polite and thoughtful, but also showed her natural advantages in front of John.

This beautiful woman, of course John knew.

The red-haired woman's name is Sally, and she seems to be the second daughter of a shipbuilding tycoon, whom she has met twice before. John wasn't very impressed with him, but this Sally was very hot and slender, that is, a little shorter than Anna, but much plumper, especially the upper body was very "majestic", John was once worried that they would burst out at any time!

After sitting down, someone immediately served a cup of afternoon tea.

Her big watery eyes sparkled, and the corners of Sally's mouth curved and chuckled, "Mr. Huntelaar should be very busy, right?" It seems rare to see you at a party like this. ”

"Hehe, yes."

John didn't make any excuses, and simply nodded.

It's true that I'm usually busy, but it's certainly not true to say that I'm so busy that I don't have time to come out. It's just that John really doesn't have much interest in the balls that people are so keen on these days, especially on occasions like this with so many women. If it was a pastime, he preferred to play ball with Anna, or with Joshua and them to practice marksmanship or something.

"Miss Sally, aren't you with them?"

Unable to find something to say, John asked a little carelessly.

"Hehe, I'm still more interested in the magical light you invented."

Covering her mouth with the fan in her hand, Sally's big eyes sparkled again: "Mr. Huntelaar, I used this magical light you invented a few days ago when I was not feeling well......"

"No, no, I didn't invent it."

John's brows furrowed, and he quickly waved his hand.

I don't know why, John always felt that something was not quite right with this Miss Sally, pretending to be a fan or emphasizing that she was not in good health or something, which was a popular habit among the ladies of this era, and he didn't think there was anything, but with that look like it would discharge......

"Giggles, Mr. Huntelaar, you are too modest."

Hearing John's denial, Sally burst into laughter. At this moment, she sat reclining, and the white flowers on her chest were just aimed at John, full of temptation!

If John had been a young man in his early twenties, he would have been hot and his mouth would have been parched. But fortunately, his two lives have been combined for decades, not to mention that his heart is like water, but he also has a strong resistance to this temptation, and to be honest, he is really not very interested in this type.

Frowning, John's tone instantly became cold, and he asked lightly, "Miss Sally has examined her body with an X-ray machine?" ”

"That's right."

Not noticing the change in John's tone, Sally even quietly moved to his side and chuckled, "After that doctor diagnosed me, he deliberately used that magical light to shine on me for ten minutes!" ”

"Huh? What did you say? ”

After hearing Sally's answer, John was stunned at first, and then his eyes suddenly widened...... (To be continued.) )
