905 Shut up
With Catherine's guidance, "Woo" soon arrived downstairs at John Bauer's residence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Go up, I won't go up." Catherine had sadness in her eyes and thought about it.
Maybe these two "big shots" from France really have something important to come to John Bauer, maybe John Bauer will change his fate and soar to the sky, but Catherine is no longer ready to participate in John Bauer's future life, so Catherine doesn't want to go upstairs, so let's end there.
"Kyle, find a café to sit in." Todd, who was sitting in the passenger seat, ignored Catherine.
Princeton is a very academic city because of Princeton University, and such a city is literally full of cafes, and Kyle just stepped on the gas pedal and came to a café called "Riverside Beauty".
It's not far from John Bauer's residence, and you can even see the window of the attic where John Bauer lived, sitting at a round table in front of the café.
Catherine didn't object to Todd's suggestion, and perhaps Catherine needed to vent too, and when the waiter asked Catherine what she needed, Catherine angrily asked for a "cold and water".
"Ice plus water", this is an obscure saying, the United States is still in the implementation of the "Prohibition", there is no alcoholic beverage on the market, but businessmen are always powerful, so many cafes sell a drink called "ice plus water", just take this drink home and then add a certain proportion of drinking water, this "ice plus water" will become a magical liquid.
Don't think cafes don't sell alcohol, it's the twenties and anything can happen.
"Ma'am, I'm sorry, but if you want ice and water, you can't eat it here." The waiter is cautious, not everyone can afford to drive a "black horse" these days.
Before Catherine could speak, Todd raised his head arrogantly: "Oh, is that so? ”
Without Todd's command, Kyle walked straight into the café.
It didn't take long for a few young people who looked like students to walk out of the café unwillingly, and the "Currently Opening" sign on the handrail at the door of the café immediately changed to "Temporarily Closed", and a chubby middle-aged man walked to the door with a humble smile and bowed.
That's right, Todd looked at Catherine who was still suave, and sent an invitation to Catherine in a half-bow posture: "Miss Catherine, please inside, now you can do whatever you want." ”
Even if it is hypocritical, such a service will make people feel good, especially for a woman like Catherine, who should have enjoyed it all, but the mistake became unattainable, so Catherine got up and straightened her spine and walked into the café like a proud little rooster to the welcome of the café owner and waiter.
It's supposed to be a little hen -- no, a big hen --
Forget it, what pride does the big hen have?
With a glass of ice and water, Catherine finally opened the conversation, as if facing an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time, telling her about her grievances over the years.
Todd acted like a real gentleman - no, like Catherine's best friend, just listening quietly, adding an interjection or two from time to time, and the guilty look of "why wasn't I with you" and the anger of the same enemy were just right.
This made Catherine even more eager to confide, and even the butcher's daily harassment was not hidden.
By the time Catherine finished speaking, there was already a cup of "ice and water" on the bar, but fortunately, the café owner and waiter had already left work early, and Kyle was still qualified to act as a bartender.
"Then allow me to reintroduce it again, and before that, I want to ask you one thing, do you know Mr. Nikola Tesla?" Todd is ready to start closing the net.
"Mr. Nikolai? Of course I know, Mr. Nikolai and Joe are friends, some time ago the police came to us, saying that Mr. Nikolai betrayed the United States, we don't believe it at all, Mr. Nikolai is an upright man, a respectable scientist, no matter what Mr. Nikolai did, he should not be described as a 'traitor'. Catherine was a little drunk, but she was still conscious.
"Mr. Nikolai is indeed an excellent scientist, Mr. Nikolai did not defect to the United States, Mr. Nikolai just found another place where Mr. Nikolai's talents can be used more to continue to work hard for the scientific and technological progress of mankind-" Todd paid attention to Catherine's expression as he spoke, and made sure that Catherine understood what he said, Todd moved on to the next link: "My name is indeed Todd Pittman, as you know, I am a Frenchman, but I am not for the French Renault Group, Rather, he served at the Imperial University of Lanfang, where Mr. Nikolai is now a distinguished professor. ”
"Lanfang Imperial University-" Catherine's expression was confused for a moment when she heard the name, and she came back to her senses after a while: "Oh, I remember, Sandy, Ms. Sandy is at Lanfang Imperial University." ”
After winning the Nobel Prize, Sandy is now an icon for women around the world, and like Marie Curie, Sandy's influence among women around the world is simply immeasurable.
"Yes, it is the Lanfang Imperial University where Ms. Sandy works, and Mr. Nikolai is now well paid, with more than $10 million a year in research grants, a private jet serving Mr. Nikolai alone, and a professional and efficient logistics team-" Todd narrated, and a female ** like Catherine who has been tortured by life, or the most intuitive welfare treatment can move people's hearts the most.
"Ten million dollars - that's good - private jets are good - " Catherine was already petrified and muttered to herself before Catherine began to wonder, "So, what does this have to do with us?" ”
Although she had decided to leave John Bauer, at this moment, Catherine still associated herself with John Bauer.
"We have a problem in the direction of material research, and Mr. Nicholas has recommended Mr. John Bauer to His Majesty the King—" Todd was not finished, and that was enough for the part.
"So that means we're going to get a private jet and ten million dollars a year too?" Catherine's body was already trembling a little, and there were broken sounds in her voice.
"No, no, no, if I had the slightest dishonesty with you, I would have said yes to you, but that's hard, and you should be able to understand that there is only one Mr. Nikolai." Todd's expression was sincere, and he looked like an honest professor, like John Ball.
For digging the foot of the wall, Qin Zhiyuan's requirements are first of all honesty, when communicating with the dug object, Lan Fang can say whatever she can give, and she can say as much as she can, and the promise that cannot be fulfilled is absolutely not allowed to be given casually.
Lan Fang to dig the object are scientific researchers, relatively speaking, the interpersonal relationship of scientific researchers in this era is still relatively simple, scientific researchers also attach more importance to integrity, if the original digging people said that the sky is falling, digging people but not fulfilling the promise, it will definitely cause the other party to be dissatisfied, and then will be slack, and then it will affect the progress of the work.
It's better not to mess around like this, a mouse feces will spoil a pot of soup.
"Yes, Mr. Nikolai has only one—" Catherine's disappointment overflowed.
"We can provide a stable working environment, a good life for your children, opportunities for higher education in the future, a platform for your husband to realize his dreams and prove his worth-" Todd is still very artistic in speaking, what impresses women? Not money, not all kinds of luxuries, but children and husbands, this is everything that a woman should value.
At least that's everything women value in this era.
Catherine can live with John Ball for ten years, can endure the lack of material life, and can give birth to a pair of children to John Ball in a difficult environment, even if Catherine is leaving John Ball now, it must not be said that Catherine does not love this home.
At least once loved.
"Mr. Nikolai is not the only one, if Ms. Sandy wants to, Ms. Sandy can get the same treatment, and even at Lanfang Imperial University, there are dozens of professors who are eligible to enjoy the same treatment as Mr. Nikolai, and if Mr. John proves his worth in his work, then Mr. John will be treated the same." Todd continued to speak in a declarative tone, which came across as grounded.
"I ask to settle the current problem first, because of Joe's previous experiments, we owe some money to our relatives, and this money has to be repaid first, and John has a father who is going to live with us, and if I can, I want to take my father and my mother with me—" Catherine said at the end, still with a little expression, as if this was such an outrageous request.
"Of course, we will help you solve all your problems, as for Mr. John's father and your father and mother, that is no problem at all, we want to give Mr. John a complete life, and please believe that Mr. John's salary will allow you all to live a rich and contented life." Todd has a big deal, and this is not a blank check, this is the right to do it.
"So what are we waiting for?" Catherine was a man of action, and immediately got up and strode towards the home that she was already familiar with and disgusted with.
When he went up to the second floor, the butcher was still there taunting John Bauer.
"Shut up, you filthy pig." Catherine stepped out for John Ball and kicked the butcher hard in the calf.
"You-" The butcher was furious, trying to teach Catherine a lesson to get back on the field.
"Respect to Lady Catherine." That's when Kyle comes in, and Kyle slams a lightning-fast punch into the butcher's liver, and the butcher immediately collapses to the ground gasping for breath, like the pigs lying on his workbench.
