Happy Days of the Titanic

Another day without success.

In the evening, Carl dragged his tired body slowly into the study as usual, preparing to stay up late to finish today's work.After reading several performance reports and future plans of certain industries, Carl suddenly thought of a restaurant that was specially opened for someone: I don't know how the performance is...

Thinking of this, Karl called out to Leger who had been silently waiting in the corner: "Leger!"

"Yes, master!"

"Didn't I tell you to stay in 'Suwei' all the time? What's the matter now?" Carl flipped through the performance report of a certain industry in his hand, and after confirming that there was no problem, he quickly signed his name and said to asked Leger.

"...this." Hearing Carl mention the Chinese restaurant, Le Jie felt a little embarrassed to say it. It is true that the profit since its opening has been horrendous, close to zero. If it weren't for someone to take it away I bought some expensive dishes and made some money, I'm afraid it's...

But the young master seems to be very concerned about that restaurant, from the site selection to the decoration to the selection of the chef, everything is done by himself... If the young master knows the situation of 'Su Wei'...

Thinking of these troubles, Leger hesitated: "Master Carl, that..."

"Why are you hesitating?" Leger's attitude made Karl a little strange, you must know that Leger has always been a straightforward person.Putting down the pen and documents in his hand, Carl looked at Leger with a puzzled expression.

"Master Karl, um, 'Suwei' has only done... three business trips since it opened..."

"Oh?!" Hearing what Leger said, Karl's tone was very flat.There was no publicity, no notification to acquaintances, and the address was remote. Carl didn't expect the business to be very good.

"Yes, once, Master Carl, you took Miss Orlando there, and once...on the day you went, Mr. Joyce also went with his friends..."

Hearing Joyce's name, Carl couldn't help but think of the scene that day, and couldn't help frowning: "What about another time?"

"Just this afternoon, someone packed and took away a few dishes..."

"Oh?!" Hearing this, Carl was also a little interested. After all, Carl is also a businessman. He heard that almost no one came to the door for several months, but now he suddenly knew that there was a visitor, and he suddenly became curious, "A regular customer? "

"Yes!"

"So sure?"

"Hmm! Because the man said that his lady tasted very good after eating at 'Su Wei', so today I specially asked him to pack some and bring some back to try..."

"Oh I got it……"

After figuring out the reason, Karl nodded, ready to continue working.However, when he just opened the next performance report, Carl was suddenly stunned, and then he stood up with a "sigh" and said ecstatically, "Le Jie! Le Jie!"

"Yes! Young master!"

"You said it was a lady?" Karl asked nervously in a calm voice, his eyes fixed on Leger.

"Miss what?" Leger asked puzzled by Carl's inexplicable and inexplicable words.

"That's right, the one that was taken away at 'Su Wei' this afternoon?" Carl quickly added.

"It wasn't the lady who went, but a servant of a lady." Leger corrected seriously.

"Yes! Yes! Do you know who that lady is?"

"I don't know, that person didn't say..." After thinking about it carefully, Leger replied seriously.

"Oh~" Carl tried his best to calm down his emotions, repeatedly telling himself not to panic and calm down, and it took a long time to calm down his excited mood, and said, "You said that person is a regular customer?"

"That person's lady is a regular customer, she said she wants to try it again..." Leger looked serious.

However, before Leger could finish speaking, Karl interrupted Leger impatiently, and asked eagerly: "You said that 'Suwei' has only done business three times since it opened?"

"Yes! Once it was you and..." Leger still looked serious.

However, his words were interrupted again: "I remember that Joyce went with a man last time?"

"I don't know, young master, because you went alone with Miss Orlando last time, and I..." I still looked serious.

He was interrupted again: "Yes! Yes! Although I just glanced at it, I remember that it is a man!" After taking two steps back and forth, Carl suddenly tapped his palm and said with certainty, "It's Su! It must be Su ! Leger!"

"Yes!" Although Karl interrupted him rudely many times, Leger's face remained unchanged, and he responded respectfully and in time with a straight face.

"Did that person say anything in particular this afternoon?"

"Special words? No!" After thinking carefully, Leger shook his head.

"Really not? Think again?"

"Oh, by the way, when the man came to order, what he said was quite strange..."

Leger was interrupted by Karl again: "What did he say?"

Regardless of Karl's rude interruption again, and Karl's more urgent expression, Leger quietly recalled for a while before he said: "He said he wanted to order the most precious dish of 'Suwei'! It's difficult to eat it. A little food, don’t make some easy-to-eat dishes..." Speaking of this, Leger hesitated for a moment, looked at Carl's face, and then continued, "That tone, it sounds like the food is delicious. ...As if it is worthy of the status of that lady, it seems that the dishes that are easy to make will... yes, how should I put it, there is a feeling that the person who eats it will be looked down upon..."

"The most precious? Deserving? Be looked down upon?" Carl chewed these words repeatedly, and Carl had a premonition that the information Su wanted to tell him must be contained in these words and sentences.

So, ignoring Leger next to him, Karl started thinking back and forth like this.Reminiscent of the increasingly intense and endless means these days, with no sign of ending, Carl is a little sure that the problem lies with his teacher's wife.after all.There was no movement at all from the teacher... and the teacher's wife didn't stop as I expected...

So, what made my teacher and wife keep punishing me?something must have happened...

What is it?

The next day

It was rare for Carl not to go to Su Xiaoxiao's house to "stand guard" today. The reason was that Carl was kept by Norman Hockley, the head of the Hockley family, early in the morning.

"Father, what's the matter with you so early in the morning?" Looking at the old man blocking his door early in the morning, Carl had an ominous premonition.

"I can only come to you if I have something to do, can't I come to you if I have nothing to do? You unfilial brat! Hurry up and get out of the way, what are you doing at the door!" Looking at Carl who was standing in the doorway, Norman felt Without getting angry, he picked up the cane in his hand and wanted to hit Karl again.But thinking of his sweet and soft grandson and granddaughter's mother, he still has to rely on this unreliable son to chase him. If he breaks it and chases him away, it will be a disaster... Thinking of this, Norman tightened his grip With the cane in his hand, he tried his best to calm down his anger and didn't knock on it, but just reprimanded him in a vicious voice.

"Yes, Dad." Looking at the angry Norman, Carl touched his nose and gave way helplessly.

"Where's my daughter-in-law?!" As soon as he sat down, before taking a breath, Norman asked Carl loudly.

"Son, daughter-in-law?" Seeing the old man's complexion become even uglier, Karl had a rare moment of inspiration, "Oh, Sue, she's at her house..."

"Then hurry up and get him back!" The old man angrily smashed the floor with his cane.

"Teacher, they haven't agreed yet!" Carl said in embarrassment.

Hearing this, Norman became even more angry: "Then what have you been up to these days! Ah! You leave early and return late! Tell me, how long has it been since Angela agreed to your marriage proposal? According to you So delayed, delayed, delayed! When will my grandson and granddaughter be able to hug... You unfilial son, do you want your father and I to go to see God and you only brought him back!"

"This... Dad, I..."

"Dad, dad, me, me, let me ask you, do you have your wedding ring ready?" My son is good at everything, and he is decisive in his career, making the Hockley family's business flourish.There is only one shortcoming, that is, the emotional intelligence is too low... Even if you chase a daughter-in-law, you have to raise it yourself, alas!

"Ah! Wedding ring? I don't even have an engagement ring..." Carl muttered.

"What are you talking about? Don't tell me that you don't even have an engagement ring ready!" Although Carl's voice was very small, it was still fully understood by the old and vigorous Norman.

"..." Carl looked guilty.

Looking at Carl's guilty face, he thought that his son was a workaholic on weekdays, as if he had never been romantic and courteous.Thinking that Karl seems to have only bought a pair of women's necklaces for the only time, called Heart of the Ocean, Norman suddenly had a bad feeling: "Karl, don't tell me that you didn't prepare anything when you proposed..."

"..." Carl's guilty conscience became more and more obvious.

Seeing Carl with a guilty face, Norman couldn't understand the reason why his daughter-in-law was missing: "You brat, let me tell you! I said why every movement is still happening now, so you made it yourself!" As he said that, Norman began to throw his cane at Carl, "What are you doing in a daze! You are still stuck here, why don't you hurry up and buy me rings and gifts! Make up what needs to be mended, and give what needs to be given away! One month later If nothing happens like this, get out of here!"

"Yes! Dad, I'll go right away!" Carl replied while covering his head with his hands and running out quickly.

"Also, remember to apologize!" Looking at Carl who was going away, Norman suddenly shouted.

"Yes!"

"This brat!" After "beating" Carl out, Norman sat down on the sofa, gasping for breath, "You can forget about such things! Fortunately, the little girl in Orlando is so generous... "
