Chapter 48: Temporary Leisure

  However, the CPU is only an idea for now. After all, wanting to study that thing is not something one person can accomplish alone. Although current CPUs are simple and GameTV also has similar processing devices, truly making a CPU that supports microcomputers requires funding. Catherine is also paying close attention to this area, as the world's first microcomputer was born in 1966, she wants to release it before then.

  Being first is very advantageous.

  Just like Seymour Cray, he is now in seclusion making a computer, which will be released before IBM.

  As Catherine had pushed all her work onto Bruce, she was temporarily free.

  On the other hand, Ma also said that he can contact many of his comrades-in-arms, but they are all very old now, with even the youngest being over 40.

  This is not a problem, soldiers who have been through World War II are the best instructors.

  Moreover, it is not necessarily required to recruit retired soldiers... The current international situation is chaotic, and there are many people who cannot make a living. Why can't we establish a foreign legion all over the world?

  It's worth noting that France's Foreign Legion is actually the most powerful fighting force within France...

  But this thing is not fully prepared yet, and even the company has not been established, so many things can't be done for the time being.

  As for the "Magic Chess" series, although business is booming, thanks to a well-established sales department, Catherine doesn't have to handle things personally.

  Incidentally, Catherine's "Harry Potter" somehow offended the Puritans, but fortunately, this storm soon dissipated. Catherine thought for a moment and found that there was a problem with Hogwarts' origin in "Harry Potter".

  Hogwarts is a school of magic that accompanied British Puritan immigrants to America, they probably have some opinions about the connection between Puritans and magic.

  Friday afternoon, October 6th.

  Catherine is now in a villa on the outskirts of southern New York State.

  "From now on, this will be our secret base!" Lily said with a smile.

  "Oh my god, you guys actually bought it?"

  Catherine was somewhat unbelievable.

  They originally said they wanted to buy a villa, but I didn't expect them to actually invest and purchase one.

  Aida shrugged: "Not for now, just rented it out. Try living here for a month. We don't have enough money yet."

  That's right, although the clothing company makes money, its largest shareholders are Catherine and Hormone. How could Hormone possibly co-purchase a house with a group of young girls?

  But Catherine was moved.

  Although I haven't gone in yet, this villa looks quite good from the outside.

  Inside, there is an indoor swimming pool and an outdoor swimming pool. The indoor swimming pool has one-way glass facing the road. The environment inside the villa is quiet, while the back door leads to a residential area where there is even a supermarket, which can be said to be quite good.

  "Then just buy it down, I can also help over here."

  Catherine proposed it.

  "Kate, you're too good!" Lily exclaimed, hugging Catherine tightly.

  "But... what about the deed?" Jenny seemed somewhat concerned about this.

  "Just put all our names down and it'll be fine!" Lily said with a smile.

  "Alright, let's go take a look!" Edda said impatiently.

  "Relax, didn't we come here last time...?" Lisa carried a bag with her designed swimsuits inside. "Okay, actually I couldn't wait either."

  As soon as Catherine entered the house, she found that there was no decoration in this place, which made it look a bit empty. However, the basic renovation seemed to be completed. It looked like this house had been newly built not long ago.

  The villa has a total of three floors, and the third floor is an attic. However, even though it's an attic, the space is still very large.

  There is a bathroom behind it, and outside the bathroom there is a corridor that leads to two swimming pools.

  The indoor swimming pool faces the city, but because it uses one-way glass, you can't see inside from outside at all. However, you can easily see the outside from inside, which feels great.

  The outdoor swimming pool, on the other hand, is accessible through a corridor leading to the other side. This pool also has sun loungers for sunbathing and is surrounded by lush greenery, completely blocking out any outside views, making it feel like a secluded paradise.

  "This place is really good, even better than my grandfather's house."

  Jenny gasped in admiration. She had only heard Lily, Ida and Lisa mention it before, but now that she was actually here, she found the environment to be really nice.

  "New York has such good places... I didn't even know."

  Catherine was also a little envious.

  If she had known there was such a good place, she would have bought it long ago.

  "Let's go swimming!" Lisa suggested. Then she took out all the swimsuits she had prepared for herself.

  "Which swimming pool shall we go to?"

  "Let's go outdoors, although the temperature is still high now, it's already October, but soon we won't be able to go out. Indoors there are air conditioners and water heaters, so even in winter we don't have to worry."

  Everyone agrees.

  Then Lisa distributed the swimsuits she had made for herself and they all went to the dressing room to change.

  "Kate, you've grown again!"

  As Catherine came out of the dressing room, Lisa was just like this sentence.

  "Really?"

  Catherine hadn't noticed anything was wrong, she just recently felt that her bra was a bit tight, and really didn't discover any problem.

  She lowered her head and took a look, the mountain peak was straight up, looking as if it had indeed grown bigger.

  She is currently wearing a white one-piece swimsuit, but it has exposed her entire back. However, from the front, it seems that nothing can be seen. But this swimsuit matches Catherine, and indeed highlights her figure. Although she is only 13 years old, the green fruit is already growing, and it is growing vigorously.

  Catherine didn't show any abnormality, she had already enlightened herself. When facing these girls, the most important skill she needed was a thick skin. As long as her skin was thick enough, all problems would no longer be problems.

  "Kate, what's wrong with your foot?" Ida noticed Catherine's foot.

  "It's nothing." Catherine also looked over.

  However, she also found that her feet seemed to be somewhat deformed...

  Uh.

  This is caused by ballet practice.

  Although Catherine attaches great importance to self-care, some things are inevitable.

  "Oh my god, Kate! Your feet have turned into that!"

  To be honest, Catherine's feet don't look that bad at first glance, and it can even be said that her foot shape is perfect, just a little off, Lisa is overreacting.

  "That's what happens when you practice ballet," Jenny added.

  "How can this be?"

  Lisa seems even more nervous than Catherine.

  "Maybe you should go see a doctor and see if there's any way to remedy it."

  "It can be done through some external devices. This kind of corrective guidance is very common..." Jenny added.

  Catherine also looked at her seriously now.

  After all, who doesn't want to be perfect?

  Catherine hadn't paid much attention to this before, but now it's corrected, and it's not too late.
