Chapter 131 Waiting
After "The Sin of Harold Diddlebock" is removed from the cinema, it will remain silent for a long time because Howard Hughes has no time to pay attention to it anymore.
He was in trouble.
During World War II, the relevant Congressional committee intends to hold a hearing when Hughes's aircraft company received a deposit of $50 million from the military but no aircraft was delivered.
For a time, media across the country were paying attention to this matter.
On the surface, this incident was targeted at Hughes's aircraft company, but in fact it was for Global Airlines.
The main protagonist behind it is Pan American Airlines, which monopolizes the trans-ocean route, and Hughes-controlled Global Airlines is trying to invade the Pan American Airlines field.
The pressure from the political field and the media's pursuit and blocking have rapidly intensified Hughes's obsessive-compulsive disorder.
He became more and more bizarre, locking himself in the room, naked, without seeing anyone, and could only communicate with the outside world through the door.
Everyone who knows this thinks that a legend of a generation is about to come to an end.
...
Time passed by Gillard's daily entanglement little by little.
In mid-April, lawyer Abbott heard good news from New York. Although the manager of that office was unable to appear in court to testify due to a sudden car accident, the lawyers still pressed the defendants in the dock and rubbed them hard during the first trial. Unfortunately, the court still did not make a judgment.
It's time to come soon May.
May is the long-awaited month for Evan.
On the first day of May, Labor Day is celebrated in many places around the world, but the United States does not have Labor Day.
On May 1, 1886, a general strike broke out across the United States. With hundreds of casualties and injuries, we finally won the 8-hour daily work system.
A few years later, the Second International led by Engels set the day as Labor Day.
Labor Day is also available in the United States.
However, Americans do not choose the day when the strike breaks out, but set it for the first Monday of September every year.
This is because the Labor Federation, which promotes the determination of Labor Day, does not want to link this festival to socialists and anarchists.
The second day of May is Friday.
Evan left the lab early and before returning to the hut in the woods, he went to the Hollywood jewelry store and the Friesman House.
He went to get things.
After nearly half a year of "fermentation", the reputation of Friesman House has spread in Hollywood and its reputation is also being established. Now many rich people and even celebrities come to visit each other every day, and almost all leave their body sizes.
When Evan arrived at Friesman House, it was about five o'clock and the store was leisurely.
As soon as he entered the store, Evan walked straight to the inner room where the tailor worked. A clerk wanted to go forward and stopped him but was stopped by his colleague.
The clerk was a new employee. After his colleague explained Evan's identity in his ear, he quickly thanked his colleagues repeatedly.
"Hi, old Friesman!"
Evan, who came to the inner room, greeted the old Friesman who was cutting the fabric, "Can you stop first? I want to get the clothes!"
Old Friesman put away his scissors and asked in confusion: "Have you ordered clothes recently?"
Evan prompted: "I ordered last year..."
"Oh! I remembered... the design draft you gave me!" Old Friesman knocked on the head, as if he was blaming himself for such a poor memory. "I just changed the size a few days ago, after all, he is still growing."
Old Friesman walked into a room connected to the garment room, and soon walked out with a box in his hand.
He handed the box to Evan and asked, "Do you want to see it?"
Evan hugged the box tightly and shook his head: "No, you have seen all the things you should be sure of."
Seeing his nervous and serious look, Old Friesman smiled and said, "Be prepared so long in advance, and finally you are going to give it a shot?"
Evan replied: "Because the time has come."
The third day of May, Saturday.
Audrey rarely did not go to the crew to rehearse and spent the whole day at home.
Audrey said that because the audition was about to be held, the crew was on holiday, so that all the actors could take a break and raise their spirits.
But Evan went to school as usual and didn't go home until evening.
This surprised Audrey.
She thought Evan would make some preparations for tomorrow at home in advance.
Therefore, Audrey also felt a little disappointed.
After all, it was his birthday, Evan wouldn't have forgotten it?
It probably won't be. He had already paid attention to it a month ago, but he didn't remember it a month later.
Audrey stayed at home alone and couldn't help but think about it.
Could he have made arrangements secretly in other places and wanted to surprise himself?
Well...it's very likely!
For example, order a candlelight dinner in a hotel, and deliberately take me out shopping tomorrow. After strolling until evening, I made an excuse not to want to cook, and then tricked myself into the hotel, and suddenly a huge cake was pushed out...
Well...it's so stupid to think about it!
Uh...what if this is true? Should I cooperate and pretend to know nothing?
Thinking of this, Audrey, who was sitting on the sofa, bent her legs up, stepped on her smooth little feet on the edge of the sofa, hugged her calves with her hands, and her chin rested on her knees, grinding her teeth in a tangled manner.
Forget it, although there may be no surprises, I'd better cooperate with him.
You can't let him lose face!
But then again, Evan doesn't seem to be the kind of person who likes to celebrate private affairs in public... so, most of his surprise isn't this.
What would it be?
Audrey massaged her knees on her chin, trying to guess Evan's thoughts.
"Dingling!"
Just as Audrey was thinking, the phone rang out.
Audrey was awakened and came to the phone barefoot with barefoot.
"Hey... this is...ah, it turns out it's Daddy!"
Audrey sat down on the sofa next to her holding the phone, nodding and saying, "Well, thank you, Dad, I know tomorrow is my birthday, a gift? I haven't received it!"
"Don't worry, it's probably because the postal delay. It's okay, Dad, I'm very happy if I have a gift."
"Can I ask what it is?" Audrey said with a smile: "If I don't like it, I will refuse to accept it, and then you can buy another one!"
"Okay, it's really okay. Maybe the postman will come to the door later?"
"You ask Evan? He knows... Now? He's not here and is going to school!"
"It seems that the laboratory is very busy, and he has chosen many classes..."
Not knowing what Joseph said, Audrey's face suddenly turned red and she angrily said to the microphone: "Dad, what are you saying! Evan has no problem, I know this!"
"Okay, don't worry, I won't suffer any losses. Don't be suspicious there."
...
The phone call between Audrey and Joseph was over for half an hour. At about noon, the postman really came to the door.
In the evening, when Evan came back, Audrey took a special observation and found that he seemed to have really returned from the school laboratory.
The smell of potions on Evan's body could not be faked.
Well...had he really forgot such an important day?
Chapter completed!
