[Titanic] Where Your Heart Goes
Chapter 56 The Truth
The maid quickly brought the lunch from home. Looking at the basket full of hamburgers and sandwiches, Jack was so curious that he refused to take his eyes off Carl.Carl raised his hand and rubbed Jack's blond hair, then picked up a sandwich from the dinner plate and bit it down.
Jack laughed and said, "This is the first time, this is the first time I know that the nobles in the upper class also regard fast food as food."
"Honey, we also have a lot of things to deal with, much busier than you imagine." Carl took a sip of tea indifferently and continued to explain: "Think about it, you only need to carry The heavy bags go from the warehouse to the workshop, and then from the workshop back to the warehouse, there is no need to think about other things. But I have to think about what the company does from the very beginning - workshop location, factory construction, personnel recruitment, labor work time and wages, staff deployment, sales, etc. These are all things I need to consider, of course, if the labor strikes and demonstrations, I have to go down to the factory to appease the workers. In addition to these daily tasks, I also You have to consider developing new customer sources. All in all, being a competent boss is also a labor-intensive job.”
"But everyone would rather sit in the office and sigh, than sweat profusely in the workshop. After all, it's more comfortable to be a capitalist." Jack blinked. He didn't have much resistance when he said this, but look He also didn't appreciate Carl's remarks because of his different origins.
"Yes, no one likes to be controlled and listened to. That's why so many immigrants came to the United States, including the big capitalists of my father's generation who have become business giants. They first came to this continent Everything is to find a new starting point for my life. Now, it's my turn to prove my worth." Karl shook his head and laughed.
Jack turned his head to look at Carl, and he said seriously: "Are you going to turn Tennessee into Pennsylvania now? The blast furnaces and coke ovens are rumbling, and the black smoke that covers the sky can make Pennsylvania be called open." hell."
Carl's head is thrown forward slightly, his eyes are very close to Jack's.The smile faded from Carl's face, and he looked at Jack with the same serious expression and promised: "I will make Tennessee a paradise on earth, the Mississippi River will be crystal clear, and the wild animals living in Tennessee can run freely where they belong. Among the mountains and forests, the sky is so clear and blue that there is no trace of haze. I will not allow anyone to destroy our holy land for any reason."
"You'll build factories in Tennessee, pollution is inevitable, and the Mississippi will be as stinky as the Thames. Complete agriculture is not very profitable. The previous round of economic crisis has proved that agriculture The country is a fat meat to be slaughtered." Jack's statement almost surprised Carl, his boy knew more than he thought.
"Jack, so what do you think is causing farming to make ends meet?"
Carl's deliberately embarrassing question made Jack think for a while, and he gave the answer with some hesitation: "Probably, agricultural products can be bought anywhere, while some industrial products cannot be bought. I think there is a big relationship with tariffs. The tariffs on agricultural products are always very high, and the imported agricultural machinery is too much for farmers. I lived in the country before I was 15 years old, and I have seen some things about this kind of thing.”
Tariff barriers and industrial technology upgrades—Jack, the two treasures of the United States to maintain its economic advantage, actually guessed right in words he could understand.Carl patted Jack on the shoulder in relief, and stuffed the name of another piece of beef into Jack's mouth. He was thinking about whether to open some fast food chains in the future. They are all profitable industries, why not unite into a dragon? What about the service?
After the picnic at noon, Jack happily took Carl back to the museum to continue his art journey, completely ignoring his tired body and Carl's dark complexion.Until Jack's movements in the museum changed from standing by himself to leaning against the wall, and finally he could only sit on the ground and draw.Carl carried Jack on his back and took it out of the museum regardless of his image. 170 The two famous paintings are dead, Jack has time to visit here at any time, but he can't watch Jack toss his body.
When Carl came home, he saw Mr. Henry refusing Lai Fujie to give him the habit of quitting drinking tea, and Lai Fujie looked calm but absolutely unmoved...
"Master, you should give up this habit. The doctor said just now that tea leaves will hinder the absorption of iron, which is not good for your body."
Compared to Lai Fujie's calmness, Mr. Henry was in a rage. There were veins on the back of his right hand, but he tried to maintain his elegance. Unfortunately, the left hand that grabbed the teacup with Lai Fujie exposed Mr. Henry's restlessness.Mr. Henry finally raised his head and said with emphasis: "Give me back the black tea!"
"Sorry, sir, sir, let me take care of your health, but the doctor commented that drinking tea will affect your hematopoietic system, so you can't drink tea. Of course, coffee that will affect sleep is also prohibited." Lai Fujie said another Holding Mr. Henry's arm with one hand, the old man let go of his palm at once, and the black tea was firmly put back into the dinner plate by Lai Fujie.
"Milk is not for men to drink. If I can only drink this, I'd rather die of stomach bleeding!" Mr. Henry argues that face is the biggest problem.
Lai Fujie calmly put several drinks on the tray on the coffee table - milk, grape juice, cherry juice, apple juice... Carl covered his lips to hide the upturned corners of his mouth. According to the memory he got, he was talking to his serious father It's funny to show such an indescribable expression.
"Sir, Master Jack, welcome home. Dinner will be ready in a while. Please go upstairs to take a shower and change into dinner clothes." Lai Fujie said thoughtfully, and then took a step back, keeping the tray in his hand away from Mr. Henry. out of the left hand.
Carl couldn't help but pulled Jack back to their respective rooms. It was enough to hear Mr. Henry's angry voice "pass me the black tea!" downstairs.Carl quickly took off his clothes and changed into comfortable home clothes. Jack was far more straightforward than him, and just threw his coat and tie aside.
The dinner was surprisingly dull. Mr. Henry didn't say anything about Jack's existence. He just left a sentence after the meal, "Prepare a dress for Mr. Dawson tomorrow, don't let him be rude." He left the living room.Carl and Jack hugged each other that night, they had no communication, no ambiguous physical touch.Jack woke up first in the morning of the second day. He looked at Carl's sleeping face, lowered his head and kissed Carl's cheek - when Carl smiled, there were always two long dimples on his face.
The funeral of Mr. Strauss was solemn and solemn. Although Mr. Strauss was not the founder of Macy's department store, he was the one who revived Macy's department store and created countless sales promotion methods for the sales industry. And the promotion model that attracts consumers' desire to buy.The deep affection between Mr. Strauss and his wife also made more hostesses pay great respect to the couple's funeral - now it is too difficult for a man in the upper class to find a man who does not have a mistress .
"Jack, you haven't been troubled by Karl, have you? I heard from my mother that he has tied you up all the time." Miss Rose pulled Jack away from behind Karl, and a question was abruptly turned into an emphatic sentence by her, Carl raised his eyebrows and smiled silently.
Jack seemed a little embarrassed by this. After looking back and forth between Carl and Miss Rose, he showed a somewhat stiff smile to Miss Rose: "Carl and I have a good relationship."
Miss Rose's eyes widened. She obviously couldn't believe what she heard, and she dragged Jack behind the accompanying Mrs. Brown.Miss Rose obviously intended to use Mrs. Brown's strong body to block Carl's gaze at Jack. She asked Jack softly: "Did Carl really not make things difficult for you? When I saw you on the Carpathia You look pale and frightening, although they all said you were sick from the cold, but I'm always worried that Karl deliberately made things difficult for you."
"No, Carl really didn't hurt me. I'm safe now. Rose, I'm sorry, I caused you a lot of trouble." Jack's eyes were full of guilt, and Miss Rose waved her hand indifferently.
"It's nothing, I want to have that kind of painting myself, to break through the shackles of the time. I have nothing to be ashamed of showing my body!" Miss Rose said like a female fighter, and then she smiled embarrassedly She smiled: "Actually, I was very scared at the time. Fortunately, Mrs. Brown lived opposite. She took off her coat and put it on me quickly, and no one saw it. The rest of the people are actually hearsay, and , after this incident happened, I realized what quality a man possesses is the one who truly appreciates my heart, and my loss is not too great."
"In this way, I am relieved, but I am still sorry for causing your misfortune, please accept my apology." Jack held Miss Rose's palm and said sincerely. It was an innocent victim in this incident, but Jack could guess that it was Carl's only chance to separate the two of them, so Jack apologized to her.
Miss Rose waved her hand generously to express that there is no need to mention this matter again. Mr. Andrew, who had been standing beside Miss Rose, had a doting smile on his face. He really understood Miss Rose's heart.
After the funeral, Mr. Henry sat in the car very silently. Carl watched his father's gray beard stretch out his arms around his shoulders, and he understood the sadness of a hero's twilight.Mr. Henry turned his eyes to Karl, showed him a reassuring smile, and then looked out the window.
The gratified smile on Mr. Henry's face turned into malicious intent: "Oh, what did I see, is that Miss Rose who is about to get married? Your Mr. Dawson is really happy to get along with her, even Ender Mr. Lu seems a bit redundant. I don’t think Miss Rose has felt the harm of nude paintings at all.”
Carl passed Mr. Henry and looked at the opposite car. Jack seemed to feel Carl's gaze, and his sight was immediately caught by Carl.Jack smiled brightly at Carl, while Miss Rose, who noticed Carl at the same time, turned her head in disgust. Mrs. Brown and Mr. Andrew, who were caught in the middle, could only show embarrassed smiles.
Carl politely took off his top hat to salute them. Now he is not worried about the relationship between Miss Rose and Jack at all. Even if Miss Rose is destined to go on the road of cheating, Jack is a solid-eyed child—not to mention In fact, Miss Rose is not such a person.If Jack is involved in a relationship, then he is Cupid's most loyal believer and wants to change his heart unless Cupid turns the golden arrow into a lead arrow.
Carl turned his eyes back to his father, and he calmly expressed his point of view: "Father, you don't suspect that your mother is unfaithful to you just because she talks and smiles with a gentleman, so it is equally impossible for me to suspect that I am deeply Loved ones do such things. In fact, I'd like to be a more stupid man than you are in this respect—even if there were rumors of Jack and a woman, or a man, getting together, I wouldn't believe it. "
"Father, your biggest dream back then was to be like the Strauss couple, to die with your wife when you were old enough." After a long silence, Carl suddenly said to Mr. Henry. Mr. Henry smiled wryly, and he Carl's claim was denied.
"No, I don't find any consolation in dying at the same time. When your mother died, I was devastated, but I am grateful to God that I have not died until now. I can arrange it in the way she likes best. For her funeral, choose red roses instead of boring lilies or chrysanthemums. Continue to live a life of debauchery for the past few years, secretly support your career, watch you mature bit by bit, and then misunderstand me, I think this is really true It's pretty good. When I adore her, I use up all my emotions; after the love is cut off, I start a new life. What can make people happier? This is the true meaning of life." Mr. Henry said Complacent, he had been waiting for an opportunity to tell the truth to his son, whether it was life, relationship, or career, he was finally able to deal a severe blow to Karl's inflated self-confidence.
Carl smiled indifferently: "Of course I know that I had your help when I started my career, even now, but since it is beneficial, why don't I take advantage of it? Personal connections are also an important part of business."
The person who can hit Mr. Henry more than Karl is Lai Fujie: "Master, please don't brag about your magnanimity, God will punish dishonest people-you always hold the young master and cry loudly when you are drunk, so he I would rather leave the house."
"Spicer, shut up!" Mr. Henry said through gritted teeth.
Jack laughed and said, "This is the first time, this is the first time I know that the nobles in the upper class also regard fast food as food."
"Honey, we also have a lot of things to deal with, much busier than you imagine." Carl took a sip of tea indifferently and continued to explain: "Think about it, you only need to carry The heavy bags go from the warehouse to the workshop, and then from the workshop back to the warehouse, there is no need to think about other things.
