The dinner was over, and after seeing Rick off, Audrey didn't let Evan get lazy for the first time, and grabbed him and cleaned up the remains on the table.

The two of them were chatting while working.

As he was chatting, Audrey suddenly asked, "Dear, what did Nina say on the phone just now, so that you will lose the mood to celebrate?"

Evan, who was helping Audrey dry the washed dishes with a cloth, was stunned for a moment, and then asked back, "Is it that obvious that I just showed?"

Audrey tilted her head and glanced at her lover, and said softly: "Rick probably doesn't feel it, but it's very obvious to me."

"Who made me, your face sway in front of me every day? I can feel any change."

Evan said: "Is that true? It seems that my face has been deeply imprinted in your heart, and it is really a great honor."

After a little bit of a word, Evan said: "Nina mentioned my elder brother on the phone."

"Your brother?" Audrey recalled the information of each member of the Warren family that Evan had introduced and asked, "The one who joined the army? I remember that it was named Colin, right?"

"Yes, you have a good memory." Evan habitually praised.

Audrey rolled her eyes. The praise was not sincere at all. She felt like she was lying to a child. In normal times, just this sentence, Audrey would fight with Evan, but Audrey didn't today.

"It has something to do with your elder brother. He is in the army, is it?"

Audrey looked worried and thought of the worst result.

What family members are most worried about when joining the army is nothing more than receiving a newspaper letter one day.

Audrey has experienced war, and this is the first bad news that comes to mind.

When Evan saw Audrey's expression, he knew that she was thinking too much, and he quickly said, "Dear, it's not what you think."

"My brother is just going to retire."

"Retired?" Audrey stopped his expression and asked in confusion: "It's just retirement, why do you look like that?"

Evan explained: "Because, my brother would not be a person who retires easily!"

If you ask the Warren family what they think about Colin's withdrawal from the army, it is estimated that everyone except Colin himself would only feel happy, especially Nina. In the few months after Colin joined the army, Nina scolded Colin in front of Evan and some young people almost every day. Isn't it because he was arguing about joining the army that she had to worry about him every day, afraid that he would actually go to the battlefield or even sacrifice?

However, no matter how much he scolded, Nina and Earl still did not give up persuading Colin, and let Colin come back every few days. The excuses used were varied, but they did not work at all.

It can be seen that Colin really wants to develop in the army.

How could such a Colin suddenly retire?

Evan couldn't help but find it strange.

To be honest, when Colin retired, he can be said to be the one who supports the most besides Nina. This is not to say that he only wrote letters to Colin and his feelings for Colin were completely blank, but he attached much importance to Colin, just because Evan knew that it was already 1949 now.

In 1949, the United States' investment in the ancient country across the Pacific was on the verge of bankruptcy.

It won’t take long before the Free Kingdom led by the United States will fight the Red Kingdom on the Sanhan Peninsula. Japan, which had just been defeated, became a logistics base, so its chain was almost half loose and its economy improved rapidly.

As the main force of the Free Kingdom, Colin's navy will be sent to the battlefield 100%.

Once you go to the battlefield, everything is really hard to say.

It's just that Audrey's guess will come true one day.

Colin retired at this point in time, which was just right - perfectly avoiding the upcoming war.

If I hadn't known that although Earl had a relationship in the army, he would never have done anything to force his son to retire. Nina informed him of the news, and Evan almost thought it was made by them.

Since it wasn't for Earl and Nina, and Colin himself hadn't changed his mind, it means that something must have happened.

In nine out of ten, Colin's retirement was not his own wish.

Evan cannot know the reason now, and Nina probably knows some of it, but since he didn't tell him just now, he wouldn't ask specifically.

To understand, just wait for Colin to come back and ask.

I just don't know the exact time he returned to the United States.

"...this is how it happens. I guess Colin must have retired after the army has changed."

After Evan finished explaining, Audrey nodded in a clear way, "So that's it."

"Don't worry too much, it's okay to ask me to retire."

She doesn't want her lover's brother to go to the battlefield.

She doesn't like soldiers.

...

Nina informed Evan early, saying that Colin would go to Los Angeles first after retirement and asked him to pay attention to picking up people, but Evan waited around but never waited for anyone.

Time flies March.

For more than a month, Evan ran between school and company, as busy as a dog. For this reason, he had to take up the Sunday he used to rest. Fortunately, Audrey was reasonable and she wanted to learn more, so the relationship between the two was not affected.

With all employees fully committed, Xerox's copier production line construction progress has met Evan's requirements very well.

As the suppliers gradually took shape, the production line gradually became complete, and the empty factory buildings were filled with machines and people bit by bit, the smiles on the faces of Wells, Carlson and others became brighter and brighter.

Only Gillard was still dissatisfied with this, because the production line was not faster, and he would be annoyed by the phone.

Copiers are gradually spreading here, and the TV industry has also ushered in an outbreak. In January, the sales of TVs across the United States exceeded 150,000, of which SONY TVs accounted for 30,000. Seeing this, peers such as GE, RCA finally couldn't sit still and launched new products at a price of US$299 at the same time, hoping to curb the growth momentum of SONY TVs.

Rick's plan was implemented very smoothly. At the end of January, he transformed himself from a small new employee in the credit department to become the executive director of the bank's board of directors. With the title of executive director, Rick successfully embarked on the path of bankers.

On March 2, Evan took Leiden and his group to Boston, Massachusetts to attend the annual meeting of the American Physics Society there.

This is a schedule that has been scheduled long ago.

Colin had never been there, and Evan had no choice but to entrust the task to Virginia before leaving.

Before this, Virginia had no idea that Colin was about to retire.

"Evan, you can do it. You're so good. You've only told me this big news until now."
