Chapter 197: Results
As graduation approached, after a while of busyness in the thesis, Rick had plenty of time to do his own thing.
After careful consideration, Rick decided not to go to Evan's bank, but started his job search career like an ordinary college student. Of course, in terms of time, he was about to graduate but had just started submitting his resume to apply for a job. This alone is not normal.
After that night, Evan rarely saw Rick, only to know that he had participated in several interviews in a very short time. As for the results, whether he had received an OFFER, he didn't know.
June is coming soon.
At the beginning of the month, Evan and the fourth-grade students participated in the thesis defense organized by the department. On that day, his performance was as excellent as ever, and his paper "Electronics and Cavitations in Semiconductors and Their Applications in Transistor Electronics" was even recommended to be officially published.
"Congratulations, Mr. Bachelor."
On the night of the end of the defense, Audrey prepared a sumptuous dinner to celebrate.
"bite!"
Evan raised the glass containing the red liquid drink and touched the cup in Audrey's hand. Both of them didn't like drinking, so they used drinks instead. Evan's Coke, while Audrey's freshly squeezed apple juice.
"Thank you, Audrey."
Evan replied with a smile, with a comfortable expression, "Take this opportunity, congratulations on getting an offer from the university."
"Thank you, Evan." Audrey suddenly felt depressed when she mentioned this.
Evan has already obtained a bachelor's degree, he is a prospective college student... He is obviously a few months older...
I always feel that the gap between me and him is getting bigger and bigger.
"What's wrong?" Living together for almost two years, Evan became more and more sensitive to the person next to him, and he immediately noticed the change in Audrey's mood. "Are you not satisfied with the university?"
Unfortunately, Evan didn't guess the reason correctly.
"No..." Audrey shook her head. The university she was admitted to was ArtCenter College of Design. It is a non-profit private university. The school is not famous, but its teaching skills are good, especially in the design major that Audrey is preparing to study. Audrey learned about this in advance, otherwise she would not have applied for it. Of course, there was an important reason that prompted her to choose this school-its site is the same as California Polytechnic, in Pasadena.
"I just suddenly felt a little stressed."
"pressure?"
"That's right." Audrey looked at Evan softly and said, "You are so outstanding, I have to work harder."
Evan was stunned, "Work hard? Do you study hard?"
Evan said half serious and half jokingly: "It's not that I'm talking about you, but your head is so mediocre. No matter how hard you try, you can't catch up with me."
"In my opinion, you just need to study hard how to be a wife and mother. Just leave other things like making money to me."
Evan's words made Audrey stunned for a while, and then he angrily said, "Okay, the reason is in your eyes, I am so stupid."
"Also, who said he wanted to be your wife?"
Evan said in surprise: "Do you want to go back on your word? This is not possible!"
As he said that, Evan suddenly stretched out his right hand, crossed the dishes on the table, grabbed Audrey's left hand, and said, "Look! The rings are all put on, the evidence is conclusive, and I can't regret it!"
Audrey's face turned red, she pulled her hand back, stroked the ring on the middle finger of her left hand with her right hand, and glared at Evan, who was making trouble.
"This doesn't count, I'm playing with it."
Audrey, who was stubborn, asked, "Is your arrangement the same as usual tomorrow Saturday?"
Evan opened his mouth, the topic was very stiff.
Well, seeing the food at this table, Evan let go of "Mrs. Prospective", nodded, and started eating.
Over the past six months, with the regularization of the businesses of various companies, Evan's work arrangements have become more and more regular.
Seven days a week, Monday to Friday, Evan studied at school and led the lab. On Saturday morning, Evan would listen to reports from various companies, including Sacramento Magic Seven, in the office of Ingwood Carr. The company's executives based in Los Angeles were naturally reporting on the spot, while the people from Magic Seven reported by phone.
In the afternoon, Evan would transfer to the R&D department, and the protagonist of the report would become R&D personnel like Lee Bailey.
At the meeting, Evan will listen to and review the progress of the R&D department this week and give his own opinions.
Sunday was a special break and entertainment time for Evan. On this day, he usually discussed and had fun with Audrey. Sometimes they would go to the Magic House to play cards, sometimes they would go to Hollywood, sometimes they would go to the park for picnics, sometimes they would go to the beach, and sometimes they would call Virginia and Linda. However, Linda would refuse with various excuses. After a few times, Evan realized that she was deliberately avoiding meeting Audrey.
There are many national and state parks around Los Angeles. The most famous one is Sequoia National Park, which contains the largest Sequoia in the world. During spring break this year, Evan and Audrey did not return to Sacramento to visit relatives, so they went to this park for a few days, leaving behind beautiful memories.
The next day, Evan arrived in Ingwood on time.
At the morning meeting, each company only reported good news but not bad news. Of course, in fact, the companies did develop very smoothly, and there were almost no problems that needed to report to Evan and let him make the final decision.
The afternoon meeting with the R&D department became the highlight of today.
After more than half a year of research and development, the TV project has reached its final stage. According to the pre-developed plan, as long as Evan no longer raises objections at today's meeting, the SONY brand TV of Applied Physics Systems will enter the mass production preparation stage.
At 1:30 p.m., the conference room of the R&D department, backbone of the R&D department of the Applied Physics Systems Company and members of the manufacturing department gathered together.
Lee Bailey, chief engineer of the TV project, will be the main speaker today. Looking at the three giants Evan, Carl and Wells in the audience, I was a little nervous.
Bailey stood in front of a blackboard with design drawings, and next to him were three prototypes. They had different appearances. The only thing in common was that they all gave people a simplicity.
"Everyone, after long-term reliability verification and design modification, the test reports of the three models have been released, and the specific results are as follows..." As soon as the time came, after all useless opening remarks were omitted, Bailey directly started today's report.
"To sum up, after comprehensively comparing the material cost, reliability and appearance sampling reports, we recommend using the No. 2 prototype as our first launch product."
"Everyone, my report is over. Do you have any questions?"
Bailey said "everyone" but his eyes were only looking at Evan.
