Expedition to Europe

With Catherine's guidance, "Wuzui" soon arrived downstairs at John Ball's residence.

"You guys go up, I won't go up." Catherine's eyes were sad and she thought of this.

Perhaps these two "big men" from France really came to John Ball with important matters. Perhaps John Ball would change his destiny and skyrocket. However, Catherine was no longer prepared to participate in John Ball's future life. So Catherine didn't want to go upstairs, so it was better to end the matter here.

"Kyle, find a coffee shop and sit down." Todd, who was sitting in the passenger seat, ignored Catherine.

Princeton is a city with a strong academic atmosphere because of Princeton University. In such a city, cafes are everywhere. Kyle just stepped on the accelerator and came to a cafe called "Riverside View" .

It is not far from John Ball's residence. Sitting on the round table in front of the cafe, you can even see the window in the attic where John Ball lived.

Catherine did not object to Todd's suggestion. Perhaps Catherine also needed to vent. When the waiter asked Catherine what she wanted, Catherine angrily asked for "ice and water."

"Ice and water" is a vague term. The current "Alcohol Prohibition" in the United States is still in effect. There are no alcoholic drinks on the market. However, businessmen are always very resourceful, so many cafes sell a drink called " "Ice and water" drink, you just need to take this drink home and add a certain proportion of drinking water, this "ice and water" will become a magical liquid.

Don't think that coffee shops don't sell alcoholic beverages. This is the 1920s, and anything can happen.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry, if you want ice and water, you can't eat it here." The waiter was careful. Not everyone can afford "Wuzui" these days.

Before Catherine could speak, Todd raised his head arrogantly: "Oh, is that so?"

Without any instructions from Todd, Kyle walked directly into the cafe.

Not long after the meeting, several young students who looked like students came out of the cafe unwillingly. The "Opening" sign on the armrest at the door of the cafe immediately changed to "Closed". A chubby middle-aged man He bowed his belt and walked to the door with a humble smile and bowed to salute.

That's right. Todd looked at Catherine in a gentle manner and extended an invitation to Catherine with a half-bow: "Please come in, Miss Catherine. You can do whatever you want now."

Even if it is hypocritical, this kind of service will make people feel good, especially for a woman like Catherine. She should have enjoyed all this, but due to some combination of circumstances, it became unattainable, so Catherine stood up with a straight spine. Standing straight, like a proud little cock, he walked into the cafe amidst the greetings of the cafe owner and waiters.

It should be a little hen—no, a big hen—

Forget it, what's the point of being proud of, big hen?

After downing a glass of ice and water, Catherine finally started talking, as if she were facing an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time, recounting her grievances over the years.

Todd acted like a true gentleman - no, he acted like Catherine's best friend, just listening quietly, adding one or two exclamations from time to time, and a guilty look of "Why am I not with you?" The anger against the same enemy is shown just right.

This made Catherine even more eager to talk, even the butcher's daily harassment was not hidden.

By the time Catherine finished speaking, there were a row of "ice and water" cups on the bar. Fortunately, the cafe owner and waiter had already left work early, so Kyle was still qualified to serve as a bartender.

"Then please allow me to reintroduce you. Before that, I want to ask you something. Do you know Mr. Nikola Tesla?" Todd was about to start closing the net.

"Mr. Nikolai? Of course you know. Mr. Nikolai and Joe are friends. The police came to us some time ago and said that Mr. Nikolai betrayed the United States. We don't believe it at all. Mr. Nikolai is an upright man. , is a respectable scientist, no matter what Mr. Nicholas has done, he should not be described as a 'traitor'." Catherine was already a little drunk, but she was still conscious.

"Mr. Nikolai is indeed an excellent scientist. Mr. Nikolai did not rebel against the United States. Mr. Nikolai just found another place where Mr. Nikolai's talents can be better used and continues to work for the scientific and technological progress of mankind—— "Todd paid attention to Katherine's expression when he spoke to make sure that Katherine Lin expressed her understanding of what she said, and Todd entered the next link: "My name is indeed Todd Pittman. As you know, I am a Frenchman, but I do not serve the French Renault Group, but Renault." Serving at Lanfang Imperial University, Mr. Nicholas is now a distinguished professor at Lanfang Imperial University.”

"Lanfang Imperial University-" When she heard the name, Catherine's expression was confused for a moment, and she came back to her senses after a while: "Oh, I remembered, Sandy, Ms. Sandy is in Lanfang. Fang Imperial University.”

After winning the Nobel Prize, Sandy has now become an icon for women around the world. Like Marie Curie, Sandy's influence among women around the world is simply immeasurable.

"Yes, it's Lanfang Imperial University where Ms. Sandy works. Mr. Nicholas is now well treated, with more than 10 million US dollars of research funding each year, a private jet that serves Mr. Nicholas alone, and a professional and efficient logistics team--" Todd told the story. For a female star like Catherine who has experienced the torture of life, the most intuitive welfare benefits are the most touching.

"10 million US dollars--that's good--private jets are also good--" Catherine has fallen into a petrified state. After mumbling to herself for a long time, Catherine began to doubt: "So, what does this have to do with us?"

Although she has decided to leave John Ball, at this moment, Catherine still associates herself with John Ball.

"We have encountered difficulties in the direction of material research, and Mr. Nicholas recommended Mr. John Ball to our King--" Todd didn't finish his words, and it was enough to say this.

"So that means we will also get a private jet and 10 million US dollars a year?" Catherine's body was already shaking a little, and there was a crack in her voice.

"No, no, no, if I am dishonest to you, I will say yes, but it is difficult. You should understand that there is only one Mr. Nicholas." Todd's expression is sincere, and he looks like an honest professor, just like John Ball.

For poaching, Qin Zhiyuan's requirement is honesty first. When communicating with the poached object, Lan Fang should say what he can give and how much he can give. He is absolutely not allowed to make promises that cannot be fulfilled.

The objects that Lan Fang wants to poach are all scientific researchers. Relatively speaking, the interpersonal relationships of scientific researchers in this era are relatively simple, and scientific researchers also attach great importance to integrity. If you say a lot when poaching people, but you poach people but don't fulfill your promises, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction on the other party, and then you will become lazy, which will affect the progress of the work.

It is better not to have such a slacking scientific researcher. A rat shit will spoil the whole pot of soup.

"Yes, there is only one Mr. Nicholas——" Catherine's disappointment is beyond words.

"We can provide a stable working environment, a good life for your children, the opportunity to receive higher education in the future, and a platform for your husband to realize his ideals and prove his value-" Todd's words are still very artistic. What impresses women? It's not money, nor various luxury goods, but children and husbands. These are all that women should value.

At least it's all that women value in this era.

Catherine can live with John Ball for ten years, endure a life lacking in material things, and give birth to a pair of children for John Ball in a difficult environment. Even if Catherine wants to leave John Ball now, it can never be said that Catherine doesn't love this family.

At least she once loved it.

"Mr. Nicholas is not the only one who enjoys the same treatment. If Ms. Sandy wants, Ms. Sandy can also get the same treatment. Even at Lanfang Imperial University, there are dozens of professors who are eligible to enjoy the same treatment as Mr. Nicholas. If Mr. John proves his value at work, then Mr. John will also get the same treatment." Todd continued to chant in a declarative tone, which gave people a sense of solidity and reliability.

"I want to solve the current problem first, because we owe some money to relatives for Joe's previous experiment, and this money must be repaid first. At the same time, John has a father who wants to live with us. If possible, I also want to bring my father and my mother--" Catherine couldn't help but look a little shocked at the end, as if this was an extraordinary request.

"Of course, we will help you solve all your problems. As for Mr. John's father and your father and mother, there is no problem at all. What we want to give Mr. John is a complete life, and please believe that Mr. John's salary can allow all of you to live a rich and satisfying life." Todd took on a lot of responsibilities. This was not a blank check, but a due authority.

"So what are we waiting for?" Catherine was a man of action. She immediately stood up and strode towards the home that was already familiar to the extreme and disgusted to the extreme.

When she went up to the second floor, the butcher was still there, ridiculing John Ball.

"Shut up, you dirty pig." Catherine stood up for John Ball and kicked the butcher's calf hard.

"You——" The butcher was furious and wanted to teach Catherine a lesson to get back at her.

"Be respectful to Ms. Catherine." This was the moment for Kyle to appear. Kyle's lightning-fast punch hit the butcher's liver hard, and the butcher immediately collapsed to the ground and gasped, just like the pigs lying on his workbench.
