[The Great Gatsby] Male God

on Tuesday.

Gatsby and Mr. K went out to inspect the valley, and Nick called his hometown.

After the call was connected, Mr. Calloway's tone was cold: "Hello?"

"Oh, Dad!" Nick was inexplicably frightened: "What's wrong with you?"

What's wrong?How dare you have the face to ask!Mr Calloway resisted the urge to recall the mysterious phone call he had received on Sunday.

last sunday.

The trembling Daisy and Jordan went out and drove to the city. At the public phone booth near the barber shop, Daisy picked up the phone and dialed with a coin: "Please call the Calloway Mansion."

Shortly after.

A gentle male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, who is this?"

Uncle's voice.Daisy pinched her throat and said under pressure: "You don't care who I am, do you know that something happened to Nick?"

"What's wrong with Nick?" Mr. Calloway immediately thought of the past between Nick and Jordan: "Are you Miss Baker's friend? What did he do to Miss Baker?"

how so?Don't think of me!Jordan, who was eavesdropping in the phone booth, quickly suppressed his voice and said, "It has nothing to do with that, it's Nick's personal business!"

"Oh, it's Nick living with a man." Calloway's tone was so serious that Daisy's hand holding the microphone was shaking: "He's living with a man! That man is an upstart in West Egg. , His name is Gatsby! You just need to know a little bit about it and you will know it, don’t startle the snake!"

Daisy looked at Jordan as she spoke, and Jordan was as frightened as she was.

"Thank you for your advice! I will investigate this matter!" Mr. Calloway, who seemed about to die of anger, put down the phone heavily.

Later, he called Nick's boss, Les, to confirm that Nick had resigned.Mr. Calloway called the shed again, but no one answered.

So he called Rice again, asked about the situation in West Egg and Gatsby's number, and probably already knew it.

Nick is really with the upstarts!Still nurturing!No wonder he rejected Miss Baker, what a shame!

Mad!You must teach him a lesson!

The family ugliness should not be publicized. Mr. Calloway summoned his family to find a solution. A "world war" broke out at home. The eldest aunt said that he would call Gatsby Castle, and the younger aunt said that seeing is believing.

They decided to surprise.All bought train tickets.It happened to be a collective dispatch on Tuesday, but Nick took the initiative to call at this time.

It was bad luck, but he didn't know it.

Mr. Carraway circled around and asked: "Everything is going well?"

"Oh, Dad." Nick said in shame, "I made some money, I quit my job, and now I'm starting a business with my friends. Don't be angry, I can take care of myself now."

fraud!Mr. Calloway snorted heavily: "Your friend is really amazing, who is he?"

Dad is in a weird mood!Nick felt a little bad: "He's a nice guy, his name is Gatsby. We met on the battlefield. I live with him now, so it's convenient for work. The phone number here is..."

Is it convenient XXOO?Mr. Carraway thought of something strange and was so excited: "Okay, don't tell me, give me his phone number!" This is the last thing that can prove Nick's innocence. If the phone number is different, there is still hope!

how can that be possible?Nick said innocently: "Oh, yes..."

The numbers are exactly the same!Mr. Calloway's hand grabbing the receiver made a rattling sound, but he was still very good at pretending that he didn't know anything: "Okay, thank you friend for me. I'll call you when I'm free."

After hanging up the phone, he immediately rushed to the train station with his sisters, and he will see this pair of dogs and men tomorrow morning!

Nick doesn't know yet.He put down the phone in his hand and went to the study to sort out the materials.Although I learned a lot from Gatsby, I still have to work hard.

In the afternoon, Gatsby came back with good news. The condition of the valley is very good, and it will be profitable within half a year of development.

Does Mr. K care about nothing?Nick was curious.

"Of course, the government will not interfere with my approach." This is the condition stated at the bidding meeting. As long as he and his superiors are given benefits, they will not make trouble for nothing.

Nick trusts Gatsby.It's a pity, it would be great if the personal affairs can go so smoothly.

"What's the matter. Are you unhappy?" Gatsby teased, "Is it stuffy here? No, the swimming pool downstairs is cool and the garden is beautiful."

Not because of these friends.Nick talked about the phone call just now.

"Don't worry." Gatsby had a hunch that Nick's father might know something.

Well, sooner or later, Gatsby called the magazine and some people after comforting Nick.

Wednesday morning.

Nick stood at the window and stared in the direction of the shed, his eyes suddenly widened.

He saw a black taxi, and the person who got out of the car was--Dad!And aunt!

What are they doing here?Nick snoops in panic, hadn't he already told them to move to Gatsby's...

oh!sky!Nick understood: they were looking for where the castle was!

It's a bad premonition. I wish I hadn't called yesterday.

They will rush over if they don't hit, because Gatsby and Nick have been reported.

Nick wishes Gatsby wasn't home and left him to deal with this alone.

Mr. Carraway and his companions have found the bushes, and they are coming to the castle soon!

Nick touched the neckline, read a few words to himself, put on a formal suit, opened the door and went downstairs.

When he walked out of the hall, suddenly there was a quick shadow in front of him, it was Gatsby.

Nick froze for a moment: "What are you doing?"

"Welcome to the guest!" Calloway called at the gate, and Gatsby already knew who he was.No, it should be said that Gatsby knew it from the time they got off the train and changed cars.The place where they transfer is the intersection of the valley, and there are all his people there now.There are many handymen there, and there are also many thieves and spies.

So Nick's call is still very useful, and Gatsby has prepared in advance.

It's time for a head-to-head confrontation, come on!Father-in-law and aunt, how are you!
