"Agree! Of course!"

Evan looked excited and seemed to want to implement the deal on the spot.

"Are you sure?"

Linda didn't understand why Evan was excited, and only cared about whether the thing was worth the price. "That was $200,000, not two thousand."

"That's just a single customer, and the annual sales may not necessarily reach $200,000... I think the premium is too much, should I talk to him again?"

Linda's analysis was common sense. If it were the usual, Evan would not mind doing good.

But this time it won't work.

Because what Evan is going to buy is a patent, the patent describes a method of manufacturing a core memory. The core memory is an important component of a computer today. Linda refers to the blue giant IBM.

The patent owner is a Chinese who participated in the development of the "Mark Four" computer, Wang An, a Ph.D. in Applied Physics, from Harvard Computer Laboratory.

Evan shook his head and said without any doubt: "Linda, please reply to the other side immediately and buy the things first."

"While IBM didn't react."

Linda did not execute immediately when she heard the words, but looked at Evan quietly, "Can you explain it?"

"It's still early anyway, and it's not yet five o'clock in the Cambridge."

Evanton said with a serious expression: "Linda, don't waste time."

"You are the secretary and not the leader of this acquisition, so don't do anything extra."

"If you really have questions, you can come to me and communicate with me after the work is finished."

"Now, please go and fulfill your duties."

“Is there any problem?”

Evan's tone was cold, Linda had never seen it before, and her face turned very ugly for a moment.

Seeing that Linda did not respond, Evan was dissatisfied with "Hmm?".

Linda then said reluctantly: "No problem."

"I'll convey your request now."

After saying that, Linda walked to Evan's desk and called Ingwood's secretary's office directly using the phone number on the desk, asking her colleagues there to convey Evan's orders to the company employees on a business trip in Cambridge, Massachusetts. After that, Linda walked out the door without saying a word.

Seeing this, Evan said to Linda's background: "Just leave?"

“…”

Linda didn't respond and her pace didn't slow down.

Evan said again: "Don't you want to solve your questions in your heart?"

Linda paused and stopped her hand on the door handle.

She was making a tantrum, but she couldn't help but feel curious.

After a while, Linda turned around and walked back, sat on the sofa opposite Evan, staring at Evan, looking at Evan with her eyes as if you weren't happy to say it.

Evan smiled bitterly, this girl is good at everything, but she will break the rules from time to time. Especially when she is alone with me, she doesn't treat me as her boss at all.

Alas, I knew I wouldn't let her be a secretary at the beginning. I was left at the bottom to practice for a while, and maybe I would have a better temper.

However, it's too late to regret now.

What's more, the Secretariat is very important and needs a trustworthy person to take charge. For the time being, no one is more suitable except Linda.

You can't let General Manager Carl go.

“Evan?”

"Hmm? Sorry, I'm distracted." Evan looked at Linda, sighed heavily, and said, "Linda, before giving you the answer you want, I want to talk to you about your future."

"future?"

"That's right."

"Is this a big topic?"

"Nature is big, but we can subdue it later. For example, have you ever thought about what job will be used as a lifelong career in the future?"

"..." After a brief silence, Linda whispered: "Evan, what do you want to say?"

"I, the chief secretary, don't suit your wishes, want to replace someone?"

Evan shook his head and said, "No."

"I don't have this plan."

"Linda, I feel relieved to have you in the Secretariat, and your work is fine."

"real."

Linda was obviously relieved.

"But you can't be a secretary all the time."

Linda emphasized: "It's the chief secretary."

"The chief secretary is also a secretary. Most of the work is not difficult. It is just that the information involved is important, so the personnel need to be specially selected."

Linda opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but couldn't find the words, because Evan said nothing. Most of the work in the Secretariat was dealing with various reporting documents. The work was at most complicated, but it was not difficult. Judging from Linda's feeling, the difficulty was not even greater than that of the McDonald's market investigator she had ever worked for.

The latter must at least run around outside.

"Linda, we are friends who grew up together. I understand your ability. Being a secretary can even be a waste of resources for you. Your classmates will know that the director of the undergraduate association can only be a secretary. My company probably doesn't want to recruit people from your school."

"After all the time, don't you just want me to appear in front of you?"

"It's really not!" Evan couldn't laugh and cry, "How could you think so?"

"I just let you think about your future career plan."

"I will let you be the Chief Secretary for at most two years, and then you will change people later. At that time, you have to think about what to do in your next job, whether to do administration, human resources, or to be alone, which company to go to, etc. You have to know what to do."

"Oh!" Linda didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed when she heard that she could only work as a secretary for two years, but when she heard the concern in Evan's words, Linda suddenly felt that she had improved.

As for future career planning, Linda thought for a while and asked, "Evan, no matter which company, as long as I want, will I let me go?"

Evan nodded, "Of course."

Linda asked again: "Where is the position?"

Evan said: "Depending on the need, and as long as you can do it, you can choose."

"I understand, I will think about it carefully." Linda nodded slightly, then remembered something, and urged: "Evan, now you can continue talking about that patent."

"Okay..." Evan paused for a moment, organized his words and said, "Linda, do you know why I want to open this semiconductor application?"

Linda thought for a while and replied, "To promote your research results?"

"Absolutely," Evan said: "Semiconductors are a good thing, and their development can change the world in many ways."

"Semiconductors have many applications, especially the transistors I made... Well, have you seen this information Linda?"

"I've seen some roughly."

"Can you talk?"

"Rectifiers are used on radar; signal amplifiers, well, this seems to be used on radios and TVs..."

"And, switch circuit..." Evan continued: "And switch circuit is the basis of a computer..."
