Hearing Carl's request, Monet immediately thought of the "Revolutionary Road" called "The Sequel to the Titanic", which describes the situation that can basically be identified as the surviving Jack and Ruth's life after arriving in the United States, and the result is that the original beautiful love is destroyed little by little by the trivialities of life, thinking of this, Monet decided that this novel must not be written.

So he refused: "I'm sorry Mr. Karl, I'm not good at writing this kind of novel." ”

Originally, Monet thought that Karl would be angry because of his refusal, after all, the thousand dollars he offered were very tempting, but he didn't expect Karl to reply disapprenosingly: "It's okay, it's okay if you can't write, I'll reply your original words to Ruth." ”

Seeing Carl's expression, Monet's heart sank, and he suddenly thought that if Ruth heard him say this, wouldn't it affect her relationship with Jack? Because when she usually misses Jack, she inevitably imagines what kind of happy life the two of them would have lived in New York if Jack hadn't died, but now she says she can't write, doesn't that mean that she is not optimistic about the future of the two?

But if it is really written, then unless he is crazy about Jack or artificially created a god as Carl said, it is difficult for the two to live the happy life that the world thinks, of course, it can also describe the spiritual happiness, and Monet thinks that the two should pay more attention to this, but isn't this a disguised admission that the material life of the two will not be particularly happy?

So if you look at it this way, then Carl's trick is a trick, whether he writes it or not, and even no matter what he writes, he can achieve part of the purpose, such as if he doesn't write, that is, he is not optimistic about the future of Jack and Ruth; If you ignore the facts, you are also not optimistic in nature; If it is written according to the truth, it can compare the difference with Ruth's current life.

In short, no matter what, it will make Ruth shake and doubt her relationship with Jack to a certain extent, so that Carl's purpose is achieved.

And the reason why I asked myself to write is because I witnessed the romantic relationship between the two with my own eyes, and recorded, described, and praised it.

Originally, he had already prepared that Carl would take revenge on himself for not telling him Ruth's whereabouts, but he really didn't expect him to not beat or curse, but he used such a "killing without blood" method to retaliate, but he didn't have a good coping plan.

After thinking about it for a long time, Monet felt that he could only do his best, so he said with some embarrassment: "Eh, I thought about it, in fact, I can still write, but I can't guarantee that it will be as wonderful as "Titanic"!" ”

"It doesn't matter, I believe that as long as it is written by you, Mr. Monet, Ruth will be very happy, but I hope that Mr. Monet can finish writing before the end of the month, because the first of next month is my wedding with Ruth, and I hope to end all the previous emotional entanglements between each other before the wedding! Well, I'll leave this matter to you! Before leaving, Carl was very generous and put the agreed $1,000 remuneration directly on the table.

After Carl left, Shanshan looked at Monet's painful expression and asked with concern, Monet simply confided all his troubles to her, and then asked curiously: "Since this Mr. Carl doesn't like Miss Ruth very much, then why do you go to such great lengths to marry her?" ”

A large part of this is because of Ruth's identity, although many Americans are very rich, but the bloodline is not noble enough, and the family is not old enough, so they will pursue a down-and-out aristocratic son, and for the down-and-out nobleman, no matter how noble the title is, it can't hide the embarrassment of life and can't offset the debt, so they can only commit to an upstart.

In fact, this situation has often occurred in the past two years, so the marriage of the upper class has nothing to do with love or not, it is all for their own interests. Monet explained.

"But isn't it painful to have to face someone who doesn't love you for the rest of your life?" Sansa asked.

Monet chuckled and said: "How can a rich man like Carl only face one woman in his life, Ruth is actually an expensive vase for him to show off, and at other times he can go to other women, and it is even possible that there is more than one woman!" ”

"Oh, I see, it's actually my aunt!" Shanshan suddenly realized.

Monet nodded and agreed: "It's almost the same, in fact, whether it is a Chinese or a foreigner, men are the same, how can they be satisfied with only one woman after having money!" ”

"Then Monsieur Monet, will you be like this in the future when you have money?"

"Me? My first step was to figure out how to get rich......"

While Monet was chatting with Sansa, on the other side of New York City, the wife of writer Archibald Gracie IV complained to her husband: "Look, you have personally experienced the Titanic incident, why didn't you think to write a novel!" ”

Gracie replied with a wry smile: "Who said I didn't expect it, I already thought about it when I was still in the lifeboat, what a thrilling experience this is, what a good theme, but before I got off the ship, I was already warned, and you also know that behind the Titanic is the Morgan Group, who can afford to provoke this?" ”

"How dare Mr. Monet write it?" The wife asked, puzzled.

"Because what he writes is what people want to see in the White Star Company and the Morgan Group, this must be admired for him, his brain is really smart, not only found a suitable angle, but also was sought after by the Morgan Group." Gracie replied enviously.

"Why don't you write one like this one?" The wife suggested.

Gracie waved his hand and said: "It's useless, even if I write better than "Titanic", but after all, Monet wrote it first, and it will definitely not have this effect, and my professional ethics can't tolerate such a follow-up." ”

But then he changed his words: "However, there are still some winds that can be followed, for example, I can write about this "Lucky Japanese Boy""

PS: Because there are no new suspense TV series to watch recently, I thought about looking for suspense movies, but sadly found that domestic suspense movies are not even easy to find with more than six points, let alone high scores......
