On the night when the evidence was discovered, the police arrested two suspects on Jiuwei Island. Elaine used WeChat to send photos of the scene to Xia Edgar Austin. It was the man in suit and the sexy girl who had photographed him welding keys that day.
The case is now solved, and Elaine's position as director is secure. As for the precious cultural relics inside the sunken ship, it is difficult to guess. Edgar Austin didn't care at all, his whole mind was on studying.
When he came back from Thunder Horse Studio in the afternoon, he went to a bookstore and bought books worth thousands of dollars. There are "English-Chinese Dictionary", "International Common Language Grammar", "Contemporary University Voluntary", "Neon Language Introduction", "Langxi Language" and other books for learning foreign languages. There are professional and technical books such as "Welder's Manual", "Welding Engineer's Manual", "Precision Machining" and so on. There are also computer books such as "Introduction to Computers", "Introduction to C Language", "Programmer's Manual", etc. These books are all books for learning knowledge. There are dozens of books in two big boxes. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to learn and master them without more than ten years of effort.
Edgar Austin didn't need this long period of more than ten years. Within an hour after looking at the photos Elaine sent him, he had already finished reading an "English-Chinese Dictionary". One distinctive feature of his reading is that he is not in a hurry to understand the meaning of the words, he just scans them quickly with his eyes and forgets he has read them.
Closing the book, Edgar Austin closed his eyes. The content he had read suddenly appeared in his mind. Every article, every paragraph, every sentence, and even every punctuation mark were presented in his mind one by one. ! 2
The most difficult thing about learning a foreign language is memorizing words. He memorized the entire "English-Chinese Dictionary" in one hour. With such progress, why would it take him several years or ten years to master the international lingua franca?
"Brother, the light is still on in your room. What are you doing so late?"Brynlee Austin's voice came from outside the door.
Edgar Austin glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table and realized that it was already midnight. He said, "I'm reading a book."
"Go to bed early. You have to go to the store early tomorrow morning. Don't be too tired."Brynlee Austin said with concern.
"Well, I'm going to sleep now. You can go to sleep too."Edgar Austin turned off the light.
"Brother, I will go to the store to help tomorrow."Brynlee Austin said.
"No, there's nothing to do in the store. Kaiden An and I are enough."Edgar Austin said.
"Then I'll go to school to make up lessons." There was the sound of slippers tapping outside the door, and Brynlee Austin went back to her room.
Edgar Austin was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, but he was still thinking about the contents of the "English-Chinese Dictionary" in his mind. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all.
Early the next morning, Edgar Austin went to Thunder Horse Studio with a few books. When he arrived, he found that Kaiden Barlow was already busy in the studio.
"Why so early?"Edgar Austin was a little surprised.
Kaiden Barlow said with a smile: "I can't sleep. If I come to work earlier, our studio can open earlier. Haha, I can't wait for that day to come soon."
Edgar Austin smiled and said, "I think so too. If we two brothers work together, Thunder Horse Studio will definitely succeed."
Kaiden Barlow's eyes fell on the pile of books held in Edgar Austin hand, and he asked curiously: "Why did you bring so many books? What kind of books are they?"
Edgar Austin said: "They are some reference books, such as "Welding Engineer's Manual", "Precision Machining" and so on. I want to take a look when the decoration master comes over later."
"You have taken so many books, can you finish reading them?"Kaiden Barlow's eyes were full of doubts. Under normal circumstances, one person would be enough to read a book. How could Edgar Austin carry so many thick books at once? Ben’s?
Edgar Austin just smiled and said nothing. He whispered in his heart: "If you knew that I memorized the entire "English-Chinese Dictionary" and "International Grammar" last night, would you still think so?"
After the two of them worked for a while, the decoration master rode a tricycle and brought his tools and decoration materials.
According to Edgar Austin's plan, the walls of the store need to be repainted, and the ceiling needs to be replaced with new gypsum boards. The overall feeling must be clean and tidy. Tools and equipment should also be rearranged to make rational use of space. In short, this store as a whole will be upgraded to a higher level. It will no longer be the kind of street shop it used to be. It will become a studio with strength and taste.
There is no point in opening a studio if you do welding broken carriages and repairing rice cookers all day long. Edgar Austin wants higher-end orders, such as difficult welding, precision mechanical parts processing, etc. This was also his original intention in establishing Thunder Horse Studio.
Edgar Austin the decorator came in and started work, Xia Lei moved a chair out and sat at the door to read. Kaiden Barlow had nothing to do, so he finally went to help the decorator.
The whole morning passed like this, and Edgar Austin also finished reading two thick professional books.
Just when Edgar Austin and Kaiden Barlow were about to invite the decoration master to a nearby restaurant for dinner, a red Volkswagen Polo parked on the side of the road.
Elaine walked out of the car, wearing a white short-sleeved round-neck T-shirt, a black tight skirt, a pair of flesh-colored stockings and black high-heeled shoes. Her appearance was like a cool scenery in summer, which made people feel refreshed. Pleasant to the eyes.
"Why can't I always control my desire to see through her?" This question popped up in Edgar Austin's mind again, but he still couldn't figure it out.
Kaiden Barlow sighed in admiration. He lowered his voice next to Edgar Austin and said, "My sister-in-law has such a good figure. It seems that you won't go to dinner with us. Go ahead. Picking up your future sister-in-law is the real thing. Decoration Master, let me greet you."
"Sister-in-law, how old are you? How many times do I have to tell you before you believe me? She and I have nothing to do."Edgar Austin was actually quite speechless.
Kaiden Barlow Xiaoan chuckled and said, "I don't believe it even if you say it ten thousand times."
Edgar Austin, "..."
"Edgar!"Elaine walked over with a sweet and beautiful smile on his face, "Is this your studio? Not bad."
"So-so."Edgar Austin looked at her, "Don't you have to go to work today? Dress like this."
Elaine said: "The case has been solved. I have been given three days' leave from above. I'm on vacation right now. Doesn't it look good on me dressed like this?"
Edgar Austin said with a smile: "It looks good, but it just doesn't look like the chief of the police station."
Elaine rolled her eyes at him, "Who wears police uniforms when not at work? When not at work, I am just a young and beautiful woman. Of course I have to wear good-looking clothes, otherwise my good figure will be wasted. You think so? no?"
Edgar Austin said in his heart: "It's you, you're so beautiful."
Kaiden Barlow had a flattering smile on her face, "Sister-in-law...oh, hello, Miss Elaine."
Elaine also smiled and said, "Kaiden Barlow, didn't you just say that you wanted to invite the decoration master to dinner? Why are you still here?"
Kaiden Barlow, "..."
A few seconds later , Kaiden Barlow and the decoration master disappeared from the sight of Elaine and Edgar Austin.
Edgar Austin then said: "Why did you send Kaiden An away?"
Elaine smiled and said: "How can I invite you to eat Western food if you don't send him away? One more person will cost a lot of money."
Edgar Austin was stunned for a moment, "I was just saying casually, do you really want to treat me to Western food?"
"Of course it's true. Do you think I'm kidding you?"Elaine held Edgar Austin's hand, "Let's go, I've already set the table."
Edgar Austin felt a little embarrassed, "I dress so beautifully, but I'm wearing work clothes, isn't it appropriate?"
"Don't worry, I've brought you all your clothes. They're in my car. You can change them in the car,"Elaine said.
"Ah?"Edgar Austin said in surprise: "How come you have my clothes?"
"Of course I went to your house to get it. Your sister is at home, otherwise how would I know where your studio is?"Elaine pushed Edgar Austin forward.
Edgar Austin bravely got into the car. Sure enough, there was a suit of his in the car, and he even brought his leather shoes. Elaine is really a very careful woman.
"Take it off quickly. Why are you still standing there? Change your clothes quickly."Elaine urged.
Edgar Austin said awkwardly: "How can I take off my clothes when you look at me?"
"I've seen you naked, what are you so shy about?"
"That was when I was a kid, okay!"Edgar Austin's face turned red.
"Isn't the body you had when you were a child your body?"Elaine rolled her eyes at Edgar Austin.
Edgar Austin looked at her speechlessly. What he wanted to say was that it was good when he was a child. Can it be the same now?
"Oh, you are really troublesome. Forget it, I won't look at you, right? Hurry up."Elaine turned her head away.
Edgar Austin sighed and took off his sweatshirt. Elaine was very honest and did not look back at him during this process. But just when he took off his overalls and was left with only one piece of clothing, Elaine suddenly turned around and looked at him intently.
"Haha!"Elaine smiled happily, as if her plot had succeeded. Then her pink face suddenly turned red, and she spat again, "Have you used all the nutrients you eat in that place? It's obscene. !”
Edgar Austin, "..."
While cursing people obscenely, her eyes did not leave that place.
Edgar Austin was also a little annoyed and gave it all. He grabbed the elastic cord and pretended to pull it down, while saying: "You should have brought my underwear with you, right? If you want to see it, I will change it for you."
"Bah, bah, bah! I don't care to look at it! Whoever looks at it will get a needle eye!"Elaine felt embarrassed and turned away.
Edgar Austin smiled. He felt that he had probably found Elaine's weakness.
