Noon is a family dinner for brothers and sisters, which is quite casual. The whole family happily congratulates Evan on graduation.

In the evening, there was a more formal banquet. All the teachers, friends and students from the laboratory were invited by Evan at Caltech. There were a lot of people, and even Dean Dubridge agreed to the invitation.

There are many people, so I can't cook and prepare dinner by myself, so the food at the banquet is provided by a high-end restaurant called Felix.

It has a cooperative relationship with Applied Physics Systems Company on the microwave oven project.

In the summer, the dinner venue was set up in an open-air yard. For convenience, the yard was modified a week ago, adding lighting and table and chair facilities.

At six o'clock in the evening, when it was dark or not, Evan, as the host of the banquet, said a few briefly and announced the beginning of the dinner.

The banquet uses a buffet style, cold meals, hot food, desserts, various drinks, and on-site barbecue. The food provided is not cheap.

In a corner of the yard, there is a band that provides live performances. There is also a piano, but the musicians are Dora and Dorothy sisters wearing exactly the same lace princess dress.

The sweet appearance of the two sisters and the appearance of walking out like a mirror were the focus of the audience, which made several Evan's students stare and lose their minds.

Of course, when they found out that this was the BOSS Evan's sister, they were so reserved that they didn't dare to come forward to chat with her. They were obviously in the laboratory without any taboos, and they brag about it in a fancy way if the school recruited girls, they would have left their single life long ago.

Now it seems that the reason why they are single is that they have nothing to do with the lack of resources for girls in the school.

In addition to the twins, the other brothers were not absent. At the beginning of the banquet, when the guests raised their glasses to toast Evan, Evan would take the opportunity to introduce Colin, Virginia, or Robert to them. Although the professors who came to attend the banquet in Evan were all science and engineering, it did not mean that their influence was limited to this. For example, Evan's department director Bacher, who is a person who can talk to the White House.

It was okay to know so many professor-level figures, such as elder brother Colin and sister Virginia, but Robert was overjoyed. Because among the people introduced by Evan, there was actually an economics professor, who was still one of the rare senior shareholders.

After watching Robert and the professor come aside to discuss investment experiences with each other, Evan and Colin smiled at each other.

Not long after, Dean Dubridge and Department Director Bacher came together. After greeting each other, Colin saw that they had something to say, so he consciously left and walked away.

"Evan, don't you think about it anymore?" Dubridge asked solemnly: "You founded the laboratory by yourself. Let it go now, aren't you afraid it will be lost in the world?"

Obviously, the dean and the department chair are here to be lobbyists.

Evan, who received his PhD in physics and a Master of Chemistry, decided to step out of the ivory tower, and for this he even gave up the easy-to-get California Polytechnic teaching position and a laboratory that belongs to him.

Only Leiden and a few professors know this decision at present.

Of course, the two people in front of us are naturally insiders.

Because some arrangements before he left the school require their assistance and permission.

For example, how to arrange Warren Leiden Laboratory in the future is not enough without Bacher's cooperation.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I've decided." Evan said seriously: "So, I'm sorry..."

"All right……"

Dubridge had no hope at all. The reason why he came here was just a little unwilling to give up and was just a living person. After hearing Evan's ruthless rejection in person, he could only accept it.

Dubridge raised his glass to Evan and said, "Then I have to wish you success in your career after you leave school."

"Thank you! Dean."

Evan raised his cup in response.

Putting down the cup, Evan saw Leiden coming towards him, and said to Dubridge and Bacher: "When talking about the laboratory, dean and director, I heard that Professor Watson is ready to retire."

Dubridge nodded and said, "It's something."

Evan asked, "So, who will take over as the position of laboratory director? Dean, director, who do you have any choice?"

"This..." Dubridge and Bacher looked at each other, and they both understood why Evan suddenly mentioned this.

They had discussed this matter a long time ago, so Dubridge quickly replied: "Evan, you are the founder of the laboratory, so you naturally have the right to give advice. Why not talk about your opinion?"

Evan nodded with satisfaction, and at this moment Leiden arrived. He put his hand on Leiden's shoulder and said to the two leaders: "I think it's better to have Dr. Leiden take over."

"He participated in the preparations of the laboratory throughout the process, and his contribution to the transistor field was second only to me."

"Of course, the two may think that he is a little younger and has not had enough qualifications. However, Warren Leiden Laboratory is not a big laboratory, so there is no need to pay too much attention to these..."

"Anyway, this is my opinion. What do you think?"

Leiden didn't say a word, and heard Evan recommending himself to take over the laboratory. Even though he was ready, he was still stunned. On the contrary, the dean and the director were not surprised at all, as if he had thought that Evan would do this.

Dubridge glanced at Leiden and said, "Evan, to be honest, this is not the best choice."

"The field of transistors, as you said, has great prospects, and the college is ready to continue to expand the power of the laboratory. For this reason, I have sent an invitation to experts in the relevant fields of Bell Laboratory, hoping to introduce new power to the laboratory..."

and the new director.

Dubridge did not say it clearly in the second half of the sentence, but everyone present could hear the meaning.

So, Leiden's face immediately turned dark.

So, Evan frowned and asked, "That's it, Dean, can I ask, who do you like?"

"Is it Dr. Shockley? Or Dr. Bading?"

"Do they have a clear reply?"

"Yes, it's them..." Bacher replied, shrugging and said, "But no reply has been received yet."

Evan thought for a while and said, "Dean, Director, I understand why you invited them. In terms of transistor field, they even started this research earlier than me, and their academic level and creativity are excellent."

"However, I still insist on recommending Leiden."

Seeing this, Bacher said, "Evan, you need to think about the future of the laboratory."

Apparently, he objected to Evan's opinion.

However, Dubridge suddenly changed his mind and said, "Evan, it's not impossible to let Leiden take over..."
