Trafford’s Trading Club

Chapter 802: Fridays in the absence of the owner (2)

This is a beige Puma-GTB, the style of the last world and the power that still stands out, allowing it to bring a lot of turnaround in the streets —— although it's just an old car, it's a star in the old world.

For nostalgic car fever buddies, you may want to play well with a car that is so well maintained.

Of course, there was also a grandfather in the lord's car, and there was a child.

Dr. Frankie and his grandson Louis.

“The school teacher said you can't drive after drinking. ”

Lewis is about to graduate from elementary school, but seems to have inherited his mother's genes, so he looks cute and small. Lewis, who's playing a little bird game on his cell phone, is watching Dr. Frankie around.

“I'm not drinking.” The Doctor insisted.

"But you smell like wine," said Lewis. ”

Dr. Frankie still insists: "Believe me, it's just a drink, an adult drink. That's what you'll think when you grow up. ”

Lewis shrugged and suddenly asked, "Grandpa, don't you know how to get to the science and technology museum? ”

"Oh!" said Dr. Frankie. My dear Louis, what makes you think I don't know how to get to the science and technology museum? ”

Lewis rolled his eyes and said, "But since just now, Grandpa, you've been reading maps! ”

Dr. Frankie left the map in his hand in the back seat and said, "Believe me, son, I'm just checking to see if there's another way. ”

“Isn't that the science and technology museum up ahead?” Lewis stretches his finger in front of the road, "is there a nearer road besides a straight line?” Lewis looked at the science and technology museum in front of him and continued to roll his eyes.

“Oh... really.” Dr. Frankie held onto his old glasses and stepped on the throttle and the car accelerated.

“Slow down...” Louiston startled and relaxed. "Grandpa, will they let us in? My table af said that the science and technology museum has been renovated recently and will not be visited for the time being. ”

Dr. Frankie laughed: "Don't worry, the curator is an old friend of mine and he'll take care of you. But when you're done, I need you to give me an afterthought. Dear Lewis, I don't think this is going to upset you, is it? ”

Louiston shrugged his shoulder and Dr. Frankie seemed to be feeling better, so the beige Puma-GTB slowly drove into the parking lot of the science and technology museum.

As Dr. Frankie said, the curator was an old friend of his, so he just got off the bus and the grandchildren were received by the staff in the building.

“Doctor, the curator is waiting for you in the office. ”

“Oh, okay, please.” Dr. Frankie nodded at the young employee and said, "This is my grandson, Louis. Can you show him around? I'll come to you later. ”

“Of course." The employee nodded politely.

……

Unaccompanied, Dr. Frankie, who was very familiar with the science and technology museum, soon came to the curator's office alone.

The curator is a little younger than Dr. Frankie, a skinny old man in his fifties called Matthews.

He and Dr. Frankie were students at the same university. Many years ago, they met at an alumni association and became friends for years.

“How you doing, old friend?” Matthews seemed very pleased with the arrival of Dr. Frankie.

And because he was an old friend, Dr. Frankie obviously didn't intend to hide anything, but showed a bitter smile and sat down and said, “That's too bad. ”

“I heard something about the theater.” Matthews nodded, "but I'm not sure. How do you want me to help you? ”

Dr. Frankie said directly, "Matthews, I need you to introduce Mr. Billy to me. We were almost ready to talk about cooperation, but something went wrong… Now it seems that Mr. Billy intends to terminate my cooperation. ”

Matthews frowned and did not speak.

Dr. Frankie had to ask with anticipation: "Now, Mr. Billy has always refused to see me on the grounds of healing. Old man, can you see Mr. Billy again? ”

“I'm just an uncle he doesn't kiss much.” Matthews sighed suddenly: "Old friend, listen to me, that's it. Billy doesn't want to see you, but he's made something very clear. ”

“Why, wasn't it well discussed before?” Dr. Frankie is a little excited: “Believe me, after all these years, I've corrected all the wrong data! With the technical support of the Leighton Group, I will be able to successfully launch a satellite of our own. ”

“In fact, I look forward to seeing that day.” Matthews leaned on the back of the chair and shook his head: “But I also know that for the moment this is probably just an unrealistic idea. You don't know that, do you? The people of the Leighton Group have raised the price of technical support. This offer has far exceeded Billy's expectations. They need an extra fifty years of exploitation of three mines in addition to their original remuneration… Old man, three rich mines, which our entire family cannot afford. ”

“Are they robbing while they're on fire?” Dr. Frankie was angry.

“Old friends, look at the facts, there is no unjustified help in the world. Remember, the other side is the capitalist. ”

What else was Dr. Frankie going to argue about, but Matthews said directly: “The Senator is dead, and many people are now plotting this position in some way. I'm not afraid to be honest with you, Billy is also very interested in this position. In addition, a new round of general elections would be ready in the near future, and he hoped to invest funds in the war. ”

Dr. Frankie laughed coldly, "General election? Regime? Every time, every time, it spends endless wealth fighting for these things. In all these years, which one of these guys has actually done what he chose to do? Matthews, do you also think that investing resources in the game of power is really more important than using it to develop technology? ”

“Frankie, calm down.” Matthews persuaded each other, "Billy wanted to change the country from within. Question is, how can a really good environment be given to scientific research when a nation has rotted into its bones? Wait a little longer. I'll do my best to help you when the election is over and Billy wins. Old man, this country still needs you, so please calm down for a while and grind yourself better. ”

“I can't wait that long.” Dr. Frankie shook his head.

“Oh, old friend, you're only 65 years old, and I'm sure in a few years you'll still be spiritual. Because no one knows better than me how much you love your career, and you never tire.” Matthews said softly: "When next year's election is over, trust me, everything will be fine. ”

“I'll figure it out for myself.” Dr. Frankie stood up and walked straight to the door of the office.

It's just that he has the side of being an academic after all, taking a deep breath before going out and turning to look at his old friend, "Thank you for your hospitality today, I think Lewis will be very happy. ”

“Frankie.” Matthews looked at Dr. Frankie quietly and suddenly sighed: “Old man, tell me, is this obsession in your heart, or was it not that obsession? ”

“I don't understand what you're saying.” Dr. Frankie frowned.

“You should know.” Matthews shook his head: "For your own liberation, or, as it were, for this country to own its own satellite. ”

“Of course…” Dr. Frankie said, stopping abruptly and suddenly: “For our own satellites. ”

“Is that true?” Matthews stared at Dr. Frankie for a long, long time, "well, old man, I tried one last time to see if I could convince Billy. ”

“Thank you…”

……

The young librarian walked with Louis in the science and technology museum to introduce him to the history of exhibits and the story behind them.

Kids are very excited about all kinds of technologically inspired exhibits, if not touch-proof, they probably won't be able to stop.

“What is this?” Lewis pointed to a big guy in the corner of Hall Two and asked.

As the young librarian was about to answer, Dr. Frankie's voice came from afar, "This is the M901 satellite model, developed by our country itself, and it's all done here, from assembly to parts. ”

“Grandpa. ”

Lewis watched Dr. Frankie walk in.

The Doctor stood in front of this M901 satellite and watched silently, not knowing what he was thinking. And the young librarian, who was familiar with the history of the exhibit, looked at Lewis and said, "Lewis, this satellite was done under Dr. Frankie's command, you know? ”

“Wow!” Lewis glared, looking at his grandfather's eyes full of wonders and surprises, "Grandpa, you're amazing! ”

Dr. Frankie just shook his head and whispered, “What's the use of something so powerful that it can't go where it's supposed to be? ”

Lewis didn't hear it, he just wanted to see it all before he got closer to this satellite exhibit. He looked at the information on the sign and was surprised to find something, “Really! It says Grandpa's name here! Manufacturer, Frankie Bosmond! And... Maggie. Grandpa, does that look like Mom's name? ”

“Lewis, it's getting late, let's go back.” Dr. Frankie suddenly pulled up Lewis' arm, "you promised me. If I brought you to the science and technology museum, you'd have to give me a good afternoon and evening to study. It's time now. ”

“Oh... okay.” Louis reluctantly promised to come down.

Soon, the young librarian took Dr. Frankie and Lewis to the parking lot and returned to his post.

After boarding the car, Dr. Frankie suddenly said, "Lewis, can you ask the clerk for two bottles of water? I'm a little thirsty. ”

“No problem." Lewis nodded.

After Lewis left, Dr. Frankie pulled a little black leather notebook out of his clothes and turned it over.

He suddenly frowned because he found an extra black card on his little notebook.

Dr. Frankie picked up this black card and stared at it for a long time. His eyes flashed with confusion. He really can't remember how this thing got to him.

And he looked so silently, and the whole person was lost.

He didn't wake up until he felt his body swayed, only to see that Lewis didn't know when he was coming back, and he had two bottles of mineral water in his hand and kept shouting his name.

“Grandpa! What's the matter with you? ”

“No, think about something, distracted.” Dr. Frankie shook his head and clutched the black card in a little black leather notebook before touching Lewis' head: “Well, where are we going now? ”

“Didn't you just say you were going home? ”

“Oh… yes, then go home. ”

Dr. Frankie set his mind to it before starting this Puma-GTB.

……

In the evening, Bucky waited anxiously.

Because the maid hasn't come back since lunchtime —— that's different from yesterday. Yesterday she came right after lunchtime, urging herself to practice meditation.

Just as Bucky was thinking about whether to go outside and take a chance, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.

Bucky knew it was the maid, so he turned around.

Instead of wearing her black and white maid's dress, the maid changed to a very casual dress and wore a lightweight coat.

If I hadn't seen the woman's ‘true face', Bucky would have cheated on the innocent side of the woman's sudden appearance at this time, and I might have to come up and ask how much for one night or something.

“Didn't I tell you to dress up?” Night watched Bucky and the voice was still so indifferent.

Bucky sniffed, then looked at himself, and smelled his collar, "I've dressed well, and this is the best I can find. You know, I don't have any money on me right now. I found the best outfit in a nearby house, and I took a shower. Look, it's still a brand! Jennifer, the size is a little different, but will it just take a second? ”

“This is the cottage.” Unight shook its head, "I designed this five years ago. True and false, I can tell. ”

“... you designed it?” Bucky opened his mouth.

"It's nothing, it's just a little bit of interest," Yunight said. "I put up a designer position at that company. Yet it has not been several years since the draft was issued. ”

Damn... aren't you a bloody corpse??

“Forget it, like you said, just for a second.” Unight shook my head: “Anyway, I never expected your taste. ”

“Speaking of, do I look like a guest to you?” Bucky suddenly said, "Is this your aftermarket? ”

And the maid said, “I'm just helping you gather your identity as a guide to the faith, not greeting you. If you fail to live up to my expectations and disappoint my master when he returns, I will break you down into particles more nuanced than atoms to make Bucky truly a legend. ”

“Me, where are we going now! ”

“Theatre. ”

The maid threw a bottle at Bucky containing a light green liquid. The bottle is small and looks like a perfume bottle.

“What is this? ”

“Used to restore your spiritual strength.” Unight calmly said: “Don't use too much, now to your extent, just sniffing is enough to recover once, using too much of your consciousness will blow up, your brain will die. ”

Bucky slipped into his pocket without saying anything and nodded carefully.

The maid said coldly: "But your goal tonight is to use it all up. ”

Bucky w...
