Around noon, Jack returned home from Cedric's company.

Opening the door, Ruth had just finished washing her hair and was about to dry her hair with a dry towel.

"I'll do it."

Jack snatched the towel from Ruth's hand, pulled up a chair for her to make, and expertly dried her hair.

"Jack."

Jack, who was concentrating on his work, suddenly heard Ruth calling to himself, he stopped his movements and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Mrs. Barry next door has invited us to their daughter Agnes' college graduation party tonight, are you free?"

Ruth turned her head to look at Jack, who saw in her gaze the idea that she really wanted to participate.

Looking at her gaze, Jack suddenly felt a sense of guilt rise in his heart, it would be a month since he crossed into this world, and she had been either in a hotel or on the way to a car for so long.

"Of course, I'm definitely going to participate." After nodding his head to confirm that he was going with her, Jack smiled and said, "However, I haven't attended a graduation party hosted by a rich family yet, so you can't leave me behind, and if you don't care about me, I'm afraid I'll be embarrassed." ”

"Okay!"

Ruth got up and kissed Jack hard before sitting back down and letting Jack continue wiping her hair.

"If only there was a hair dryer......"

After more than ten minutes, Jack rubbed his wrist as he wiped his hair, and the more nostalgic he was for the modern era of prosperous technology.

Jack didn't know in what year the hair dryer was invented, but he was pretty much sure of one thing, and that was that there should have been no practical hair dryer in this era.

Because the first time he wiped Ruth's hair, he once stupidly asked Ruth why she didn't use a hair dryer, and Ruth looked at him with a question mark on her face and asked him what a hair dryer was.

Thinking of this, Jack moved slightly, "Maybe, I can find someone to invent the hair dryer." ”

As for why he didn't invent the hair dryer himself, in fact, Jack was also helpless, as a traverser, although in terms of historical trends, compared with the ancients, he has many advantages, but in the specific invention and creation of the like, he can only say that he is not that person.

When he was able to invent the cigarette filter and the machine that made the filter, it was because he remembered it by chance when he watched a short video in his previous life.

For the hair dryer, because of daily use, he only knows its principle, which is that the motor is energized to drive the fan blades to rotate to generate wind, and then let the wind blow the heat emitted by the heating wire from the front mouth of the hair dryer, so as to dry the hair.

The principle of the hair dryer sounds very simple, but Jack should know a truth, many things, not just know the principle can be made, even if it is made, the made things may not meet the requirements of the design.

There is a good saying, those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people.

Now he can be regarded as an entrepreneur, and when Cedric's company develops, he has extra money, and then recruits talents in science and technology to specialize in inventions.

"As far as I know, Mrs. Barry immigrated to the United States from Gloucester with her parents thirty years ago, and Mrs. Barry's husband, Hall Barry, a descendant of the California gold diggers, joined the Daily Bulletin as editor after graduating from the University of California, Berkeley in 1886, and is now the editor-in-chief of the Daily Bulletin, and their daughter Agnes ......"

Time flies, and in the evening, before heading next door to attend the bar mittance ceremony for Mrs. Barry's daughter, Agnes, Ruth is telling Jack what she knows about the Barry family next door.

"I really didn't expect that Hall Barry was actually the editor-in-chief of the Daily News Chronicle."

Listening to what Ruth knew about the Barry family, Jack was quite surprised, when he usually went out to run errands, he also met Hall Barry next door a few times, but he really didn't expect that Hall Barry, who was five big and three thick, like a barbarian, was actually a literate high-level intellectual.

You know, the "Daily Chronicle" was founded in 1865, and with the rapid development of San Francisco, the scale of newspaper circulation also expanded, and by 1880, the "Daily Chronicle" became the largest circulation newspaper on the West Coast of the United States.

In this case, Hall Barry only took ten years to rise from an ordinary editor to the position of editor-in-chief, and Jack also had to admit that Hall Barry was not a simple person.

"It's time for us to go, Jack."

While Jack was thinking, Ruth had already packed up the room and came to the living room with a gift for Agnes.

"Okay."

When Jack heard this, he got up and walked to Ruth's side, and the two of them went out together and walked to Barry's house, which was next door.

"Welcome, Ruth." As soon as they arrived at Barry's door, Mrs. Barry greeted Ruth, and then looked at Jack, "You are Ruth's fiancé, Mr. Dawson." ”

"Yes, I am." Jack smiled and nodded, then greeted Mrs. Barry, "Good evening, Mrs. Barry." ”

"Please inside you."

Received by Mrs. Barry, Jack and Ruth went to the room that had been furnished, and then, led by Mrs. Barry, Ruth went to the family's place, and Jack, at the invitation of the host, Hall Barry, walked to the place where a group of men were discussing current affairs.

For a moment, everyone stopped in unison, and their eyes were all on Jack, and the meaning was self-evident.

After more than 100 years of development, although the economy of the United States has become prosperous, its class has become more and more solidified.

Most of the people present are not among the wealthy people, but they are at least middle-class people.

If Jack is just an ordinary person, even if everyone knows each other today, most people will not take Jack to heart, and it is a high probability that they will forget it in a blink of an eye.

As the host, Hall Barry didn't know what those neighbors and friends meant, and hurriedly pulled Jack to introduce: "Let me introduce to you, this is my neighbor Jack Dawson, he and his fiancée Miss Ruth moved to our community a few days ago, and just yesterday, Mr. Dawson has acquired Cedric's company......"

After Hall Barry revealed Jack's identity, the atmosphere in the arena suddenly changed and quickly became lively.

"Mr. Dawson, let me introduce you, this is the principal of our community elementary school......"

"Hello, Mr. Dawson."

"Hello ......"

"This is ......"
