Chapter Seventy-Eight: Dvořák's Beauty-Inventor Friend

"Well, our new home isn't bad. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 As soon as he got home, John couldn't wait to take his wife and daughter to visit the new home, and by the way, he also showed off the fruits of his labor yesterday, "Miller and Mary and I have been busy all day before arranging it, how can we be so dissatisfied?" ”

"Thank you, dear." Adele gave her husband a loud kiss, "This house is simply amazing, I love it so much." ”

When Adele was choosing a house, she first fell in love with this small building with a typical southern French style. Although she didn't know how long she would live in Alexandria, she didn't hesitate to buy the house.

Now that she sees the real thing, Adele is even more satisfied with her original decision. Pale yellow granite facades, ochre-colored roofs, white cloisters and balconies, beautiful arched floor-to-ceiling windows and chic dormer windows, plus two large gardens in front and back. All of this made her feel like she was back in Provence, and even the air seemed to be filled with a faint smell of vanilla.

"I would have liked to build a glass house in the garden to the south. But Mary said that the winter was much warmer than Washington, and that it was absolutely necessary, so it would be better to transplant some olive trees or something. Standing on the balcony on the second floor, John pointed to the garden below.

"Mary was right." Adele excitedly began to figure out how to decorate her garden: "In addition to olive trees, you can also plant grapes, sunflowers and lavender. This is our Provence. In the future, when we are old, we can come here for a holiday in winter. ”

"Whatever you like, my dear." John kissed his wife on the forehead. "Let's go down, Dvořák and they should be there soon."

Sure enough, after a while, Miller led the follow-up troops to the door, and the house immediately became lively. Such a trivial matter as assigning rooms and arranging work for a dozen or so people naturally did not need John's appearance. Adele, the housewife, is very skilled in arranging everything in order.

While everyone was busy upstairs and downstairs, John took his son and daughter to play in the yard, and Dvořák stayed with a dead face to rub over dinner.

When he first saw Dvořák at the station in the afternoon, John was still a little touched by the "loyalty" of this old subordinate. Now, how does he see how this fat man is not pleasing to the eye. He and Adele just said politely, but they didn't expect this cheeky guy to really stay and finish eating.

Does this dead fat man have the eyesight to see? It was not easy for him to meet his wife and children, and he was planning to enjoy the joy of family, but he just didn't leave, which was too much of an eyesore.

You see how knowledgeable the Bradleys are, and they know that it's not a good time to come and bother today. Mary, who was tired of helping yesterday, just made a phone call and made an appointment to come back tomorrow to see her godson. It's like Dvořák, didn't he just help move the luggage, and he didn't have to do it himself, so he stayed and ate in a grand manner.

"I said Dvořák, isn't your New Orleans business unfinished?" John said angrily to Dvořák.

"It's okay, didn't I just ask them to leave me a car. After eating, I drove back. It's only 300 kilometers, just in time. Dvořák replied with a smile as if he hadn't noticed John's emotions.

"I mean, it's not safe to drive alone at night." John continued to persuade hard. He really couldn't open his mouth and directly get this fat man out.

"Oh, or I'll just stay here tonight? I see you have a lot of empty rooms. Dvořák smiled even more happily, and the two small eyes on his round face shone with a sly light.

"Get out!" John was also amused, "Tell me, what's the matter with you coming all the way?" ”

"Hehe, it's not a big deal." Dvořák rubbed his hands together and said flatteringly: "I have a friend who recently got a radio invention with someone and is applying for a patent. They want to sell this patent to the military, but there is no way out......"

"Your friend? Invention patents? "It's not that John underestimated Dvořák. This guy didn't even graduate from elementary school, and most of his friends were uneducated people. If Dvořák's gang of fox friends had thieves, gamblers, forgers, fraudsters, or something, John would probably believe it. Inventor? How can it be!

"I'm a successful person now, what's wrong with knowing two people who are engaged in invention!" Seeing that John didn't believe it, Dvořák shouted a little "annoyed".

"Alright, stop acting! I don't know about you yet. "John wasn't fooled at all." Have you been out there again, taking matters into your own hands? ”

"Or boss, you know me." Dvořák said with some embarrassment: "I drank two more glasses at the time, and I didn't know how to agree to someone." ”

"I don't think it's just two more drinks, but there are still beauties begging for each other." John knew Dvořák too well that the average person could not get him drunk with his drinking. But this guy has a problem, as soon as he meets a young and beautiful woman, he can't control his mouth, and often runs the train with his mouth full, bragging and bragging.

"Not to mention, this friend of mine is really a big beauty." Dvořák smashed his mouth and said regretfully, "It's a pity that she's married." If you marry her home, it will be worth living 20 years less. ”

Well, he's still a "beautiful inventor", and John is even less interested in what Dvořák asks for. He now has doubts about whether any radio invention will pass the patent office, let alone allow him to use resources to lobby the military to buy it.

None of the military resources he has in his hands are hard to come by. How could it be wasted on helping Dvořák pick up girls. Don't do it when the time comes, and it will also affect his reputation and make him a laughing stock in the army.

"I'm sorry, old man, I really can't help you this time." John patted Dvořák on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You're too old to be a big man, it's time to take care of yourself." You are in good condition now, why don't you find a girl to get married and live a good life. That kind of married woman, don't worry about it. ”

"No, John. I'm just ordinary friends with her, and I didn't promise her help because of that. Seeing that John disagreed, Dvořák hurriedly argued.

"What is your relationship with her, that's your own business. I'm just giving you a piece of advice. John wasn't going to dwell on it.

"Please, John, just help me this time." For the sake of me following you for so many years, just help once, okay? Dvořák once again performed his invinciblely cheeky stunt, pleading bitterly.

He made such a fuss that even little Ella, who was swinging happily on the side, looked at it curiously. John knows that this guy is a piece of kraft candy, and it will be difficult to get rid of it once it is entangled. It seems that if he doesn't give in today, Dvořák might really be able to stay on his laurels.

"I can help you, but you'll have to wait for that friend of yours to get the patent done, won't I? I don't even know what she invented now, whether it can pass the examination of the patent office, how can I help you say hello. ”

Seeing that Dvořák was going to continue to plead, he simply threw the pot to Reilly: "I'll say hello to Reilly in a moment, and ask Draco Defense Technology to send two people to your friend's place to see the head office." ”

"Okay, that's great! Thank you, Boss!" Dvořák happily hugged John. He didn't really expect John to really sell his patents to him. As long as someone from Draco Defense Technologies can come forward and prove that Dvořák is not a liar who just talks the talk.

After the hug, Dvořák offered to say goodbye.

"You're not staying to finish eating? Adele has all arranged. John smiled and said again.

Dvořák also smiled: "Next time." I'm still on my way to make it to Baton Rouge for dinner. ”

"Then be careful on your way." John patted the old fellow on the arm.

"Okay. I won't go up and say sorry to Lady Adele for me. Goodbye, little princess Ella! With that, Dvořák gave little Ella another exaggerated "hat salute" and turned and walked out of the garden.
