At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky had already darkened, and dark clouds were piling up all over the sky, and they were also piled up in Audrey's heart.

Although the relationship was quite harmonious today, Joseph did not want to leave here and leave with them.

This is a blow to Audrey, who has always blamed herself for not being able to get her dad's liking.

Zhou Nan somewhat understood his mentality.

In another life, he also had this kind of self-defeating thoughts, going with the flow, not wanting to take any responsibility, let alone chasing any dreams.

Even, the pain of the body can give him a kind of indulgent pleasure.

Self-abuse is sometimes a way to find one's own existence.

For a person who lives in his own world, it is a kind of relaxation not to disturb the life he is addicted to.

After the age of thirty, he was immersed in this self-style.

It wasn't until he was 60 years old that he relied on his income from painting and writing to buy back countless books, and he immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge again.

There is hardly any social activity.

It wasn't until he learned too much new knowledge in the book and had a clearer understanding of the existence of the self that he gradually changed his mentality.

The one who hated it used to hate will no longer hate.

He learned to enjoy life, to enjoy existence, to enjoy self-satisfaction.

Zhou Nan feels that he has been learning, but other people's learning is through contact with society, but he has one more way to learn from himself in another life.

I learned new knowledge and learned the perception of life.

With his nature, he has hit walls everywhere in another life, and with these lessons and lessons, he can have smooth sailing everywhere in this life.

Without that knowledge, he would not have been able to communicate directly with the current masters, and without that experience, he would not be able to interact with those cunning politicians without falling behind.

Joseph did not have his own luck, so he, like his own life, had no choice but to escape.

He is not only running away from his relatives, but also running away from himself and everything.

If Zhou Nan's expectations are not bad, I am afraid that he will soon become unaccustomed to the change of his situation and change his life again.

Because he is unwilling to let the people around him be too familiar with him, too well understood, and unwilling to let the shadows of Audrey and Zhou Nan always be mixed into his life.

Audrey couldn't understand this mentality, so she was sad.

However, by the time the car returned to Wolfsburg, she seemed to have put it down, and by the time Caroline talked to Joseph, it was back to normal.

Although there is a little more melancholy, in Zhou Nan's opinion, this is a very normal state of mind.

Zhou Nan couldn't help but wonder, what made her relieved so quickly?

Thinking of what she said when she first arrived at the mine, Zhou Nan's heart moved, and at this time, he really understood what Audrey meant.

Yes, she lost her father when she was nine years old, but at the age of eleven, she appeared in her life.

Therefore, he is not only her lover, but also plays the role of a father in her heart.

So, she no longer feels sorry.

And what about yourself? I'm afraid it's not just about treating her as my lover.

If in the future, in the intimate time, provoke this topic......

Zhou Nan's heart shook and became evil.

But looking at Audrey's innocent smiling face, he felt that he was too dirty.

It took a while for Zhou Nan's mind to come out of that somewhat evil thought.

But he still couldn't calm down for a long time.

Men love women, this is the road of humanity. In the golden vase, there are not all kinds of role-playing, and both men and women also enjoy it very much.

"Jonas, Jonas ......"

"Oh, I was distracted. What's up? ”

"I said do you want to see the new model being developed tomorrow?"

Zhou Nan looked at Leon, who was decorating the Christmas tree with Melissa, and said, "Isn't tomorrow Christmas?" Is there anyone else in the factory? ”

Yannick shook his head and smiled: "The prototype car is in your design office, there are still some small problems in the chassis and steering that have not been solved, and you also need to make some suggestions on the interior." In short, if the model can be determined next summer, it will be fast to start production the year after tomorrow. ”

Zhou Nan nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll go and see it tomorrow." ”

Yannick looked at Jean Nord, who was teasing little Erwin, and wanted to ask Zhou Nan what he was thinking just now, but he didn't ask.

Sometimes, a random thought in Jonas's heart can be worth a thousand dollars.

However, the money is not endless.

On the other side, Caroline's mother held up a half-knitted sweater and shouted, "Jonas, come and try the neckline of the sweater I knitted for you." ”

Zhou Nan pretended to be happy and got up to try, and said proudly: "It must be suitable!" ”

Unfortunately, the horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg, and Caroline pretended to be coquettish: "How do you know if you haven't tried yet?" I don't think you like hand-knitting, it's not good-looking. ”

Zhou Nan hugged and said: "How come, my mother knits a love sweater, which can't be compared to any sweater." ”

Audrey, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, and deliberately scraped her face twice with her fingers.

Zhou Nan gave her a threatening look, and then she was at Caroline's mercy.

Today's meeting with Joseph not only untied Audrey's heart knot, but also made him better understand himself from Joseph.

The most important thing is to enjoy life, to enjoy the present, to enjoy the interaction with your loved ones, to bring them happiness and therefore happiness.

In the evening, when it was time to make love, Zhou Nan hesitated in his heart for a long time, and wanted to take advantage of her fascination to shamelessly let her call herself a few times, but in the end she still didn't say it.

He suspected that even if Audrey screamed involuntarily at this time, she would probably be angry and ignore him tomorrow.

He really can't be so shameless.

The next day was Christmas, but Yannick and Zhou Nan arrived in the design office early in the morning.

Relying on the shape he originally designed, the new Volkswagen in the shape of the Tiger Head Daben has basically taken shape.

Only the front logo is a little different, with the Volkswagen V logo in the middle of the five horizontal fences. This also means that this will be the flagship version of the Volkswagen model.

Since the cooperation with Rolls-Royce has become a foregone conclusion, the two companies hold shares in each other. Volkswagen exchanged 40 percent of the shares for 26 percent of Rolls-Royce's shares.

Of course, not only Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, but also their aircraft engine companies, otherwise Rolls-Royce Motor Cars would not be as big as Volkswagen.

Now this Volkswagen is also ready to use Rolls-Royce's characteristic six-cylinder engine, which is not very powerful, but has the smoothness and bass that is difficult to surpass in today's car engines.

On many parts of the chassis, models from both companies are also looking for the same specifications.

However, in order to increase the level of cars of the two companies, Volkswagen's car must be mass-produced, not hand-built like Rolls-Royce, so the price of Volkswagen's car is also lower.

But even then, the Volkswagen costs nearly $4,000, which is equivalent to the price of three Beetles.

Zhou Nan sat in the car and carefully observed around, although the production has been as good as possible, but the interior, instruments, and even the materials still have a lot to be desired.

Zhou Nan compared these with the car interiors of later generations, and made many valuable suggestions, all of which were written down by Yannick.

For example, the power pump of the steering wheel is added, the linkage anti-door button of the door is increased, and the curtains are added. Partnered with Jean Nord's Breguet Watches to create a shock-resistant timepiece to be mounted on the dashboard.

The father and son were originally going to stay until noon, and in addition to this model, the two had many questions to communicate. However, because this warehouse is on holiday, there is no heating, and it will freeze for a while, and I can't stand it, so I decided to go home.

When leaving, Zhou Nan remembered and asked, "What is this car going to be called?" ”

"Leon. This was also determined after consultation with Rolls-Royce. ”

"Volkswagen - Leon. Not bad. Leon means lion, and is generally used to describe a mighty person.

The name is very appropriate for this car that is ahead of its time. The appearance of the tiger's head is originally very powerful and masculine.

The sky was gray, the north wind was howling, and thick black smoke was rising from the thick chimney of the power plant on the west side.

Zhou Nan and Yannick walked home along the uninhabited canal bridge, talking about Volkswagen's development this year and some plans for the future.

"You're going to the United States the day after tomorrow, for what?"

"It's nothing, Hughes is going to challenge the world boxing champion Joe Louis on January 1st, and I went over to see him get beaten."

Yannick glanced at Zhou Nan, not believing his words at all.

Zhou Nan said with a smile: "By the way, discuss with them the plan for a new movie, and then see if there is a chance to get some military purchase orders." ”

Yannick paused for a moment, remembering the history that Zhou Nan had told him. "You mean the Peninsula War!"

Zhou Nan nodded and said: "Volkswagen's Asian factory will be put into operation as soon as possible next year, and the first step is not to produce Beetles, but to produce military trucks and jeeps." If you want to curb the development of Japanese companies from the beginning, you need to prepare in advance. ”

He looked at Zhou Nan and said, "But that's your motherland!" ”

Zhou Nan was silent for a long time before he exhaled a breath and said: "They also need a battle to fight for national prestige, and now they are in the middle of the cracks, and they have been pushed to the point where they can't stop fighting, what I can do is to remind them first and strive for a tacit battle." ”

Having said that, Zhou Nan had no confidence, because he knew very well how rigid the thinking of people in this era was, completely dogmatism, and the division of camps by ideology, there was no possibility of compromise at all.

In the evening, Vera brought Lily and O'Elli from Basel to celebrate Christmas together, and the whole family gathered.

Not only did there be more Rang Nord and his two children, but also General Falkenhausen and his two granddaughters, so many people gathered together, which was particularly lively.

Zhou Nan also put down all his thoughts and enjoyed this cheerful festival.

(The transitional chapter ends, and we enter 49 years, a year in which many of its positions are relevant to international changes in the coming decades.) I want to write it, but it's not harmonious, I need to think about the plot later. ）
