To be honest, Evan was very angry about Rogers' self-decision and almost self-harm - this was not something a science and engineering student would do. But he was lying in bed and didn't even dare to breathe. Evan could only temporarily suppress the urge to scold him to the point of being bloody.

After all, Rogers helped him measure the data, although it was expensive.

Rogers approached him with a mission, Evan knew very well. He helped him, although it was not what he wanted, he could not remain indifferent and pretend that nothing had happened.

This is not Evan's character and character.

So, he didn't plan to attend the elk party, so for Rogers' sake, he decided to go there.

On July 28, the evening after Evan finished the design patent for the seat belt, Evan showed up under the Elk Tower with Audrey.

As a party for BPOE elks, the venue is of course in this building built by elks.

Before going upstairs, Audrey looked up at the towering building for a moment, then looked down at her clothes, and hesitated: "Evan, is it appropriate for me to go up like this?"

At this time, Audrey was still in a simple and unpretentious outfit, except for her hair being taken care of, and she was no different from her usual ones. She was wearing a white dress, wearing small high-heeled sandals, and had no jewelry on her neck, revealing a smooth and white piece of white. The only decoration on her body was a Longines watch on her left hand. It was a relic left by her mother.

Audrey's mother was a nobleman with title. Although she had not enjoyed the life of a nobleman, she knew some of the rules of formal dinners in the upper class. Not to mention anything else, proper dressing is the most basic requirement.

Today Evan suddenly asked him to attend a party with him, and Audrey was of course happy. But when things came to an end, Audrey wanted to give up again.

Seeing this, Evan held Audrey's hands in both hands, and the two stood face to face, connecting their hands to form a small circle. He looked at Audrey and said softly: "It's okay, there's nothing wrong!"

"Have I shown you the invitation, it only says that you can bring a female companion, but the dress code is not written."

"Did you not look at me or wear formal clothes?"

As he said that, Evan raised his arm and signaled to Audrey that he was wearing a sleeveless shirt. This kind of outfit would certainly be inappropriate for a formal dinner.

Here, there is only one kind of formal wear for men - suits, trousers, and leather shoes.

"Besides, this is not a formal dinner, it's just a gathering of idle people! So don't worry!"

With Evan's persuasion, Audrey calmed down.

Evan said it would be OK!

The venue is on the second floor, the place where Evan visited last Christmas.

Audrey and Evan walked to the second floor holding hands, took out the invitation at the entrance, and registered.

The registration office was responsible for registering two young people. When they saw Evan and Audrey coming to register, they were both stunned.

At this age and dress, isn't it a bit wrong?

The invitation is a little strange...

However, the signature on the invitation is correct...

Evan noticed the strangeness in their eyes and frowned.

Walking into the venue, Evan and the others immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

There is no other reason. Everyone in the venue, the men were dressed in formal clothes, and the women were wearing jewelry and their dress was eye-catching.

Only the two of them were incompatible with the entire venue. The man dressed like a poor boy who came into the city in the countryside, and the woman looked like a Cinderella who accidentally entered the castle...?

Looking at the two people who are very special in their clothes and age, some whisper, some point fingers, and some smirk.

Seeing this, Evan immediately realized that he was designed. He wanted to turn around and leave immediately - he didn't want to be regarded as a joke.

But the next moment, Evan changed his mind.

No, I can't just leave without understanding.

Evan stopped turning around and patted Audrey in the hand of the same at a loss, then held Audrey and continued to walk into the venue as if no one was around.

As he walked, Evan whispered: "Audrey, bear it for a while, and we will leave after we finish the work later."

Audrey nodded silently, holding Evan's hand tightened.

Evan quietly observed the people in the venue. Most of the so-called elks were in their early twenties. The female companions they brought were all bright and beautiful. There were few middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, and they didn't see any of them any further up. Like many large gatherings, the young elks were unconsciously divided into several small groups. Evan observed carefully and tried to guess how these groups were formed. Is it the different regions? Or the reasons for the leaders? Or is it a political view?

Because he was not familiar with these people, Evan was unable to draw a conclusion for a while.

While Evan was observing and walking forward, Daniel Grey led David Hatter to them. Seeing Evan's outfit, they felt a little unhappy, but their faces remained silent. Grey stretched out his hand to Evan with a smile on his face, shook hands while welcoming him.

"Evan, it's a great honor to be here, and this beautiful lady welcomes you."

"She is Audrey Hepburn, my girlfriend."

After Evan introduced him, Audrey bowed.

"Miss Hepburn, it's great to know you. Come, Evan, I'll introduce you to David Hatter, the 'secretary' of the BPOE California area."

After another polite conversation, Hayte suddenly clapped his palms, attracting everyone's attention.

"Everyone, let me introduce you to you. This is the son of Evan Warren, the son of 'Son of California', a rising star. We are preparing to absorb it into the meeting. You can perform well."

Everyone looked at Evan and nodded to him.

Next, after a few simple greetings, Hatter said, "I want to prepare for the next ceremony. Evan, don't mind me leaving?"

Evan smiled and said, "Please feel free."

So Heit took Gray away, turned around and his face darkened, and he whispered: "What does Evan Warren mean? Even if you refuse, don't you need to wear this outfit on purpose?"

Gray also suppressed his voice and said, "Het, do I think there is any misunderstanding here?"

Hatter thought for a while and felt it was very likely, "Grey, please pay attention to them. I don't want to go out of the venue during my preparations."

The ritual that Haite mentioned is actually one of the necessary processes for the new elk to join the meeting. Obviously, today's gathering is not just about eating, drinking and having fun.

Seeing Hayte leave, those who were interested in Evan began to move. Not long after, someone took a step and started chatting with Evan.

There were one to two, and there were endless people coming to talk to Evan.

"Evan, are you really only 17 years old?"

"Evan, did you really get into Caltech?"

"Evan, did you really invent the Rubik's Cube? Can you teach me how to restore it?"

The people who came to talk to him obviously knew a lot about Evan, but because they were too unbelievable, they all wanted to hear what the real person said.

Although Evan felt impatient about these people, he was patient and answered them one by one.

Evan noticed that the people who came up to talk to him all came from the same circle.

Before we knew it, many people gathered around Evan, becoming the center of another circle.

Under the guidance of Evan, the topic we talked about gradually changed from the magical things on Evan and the Rubik's Cube to other places. They started with the Rubik's Cube, and talked about the toys they had played with before, the price of toys, and the price of toys to today's prices. Speaking of prices, everyone began to criticize the then president's stupid policy. Finally, before they knew it, everyone discussed the situation of the two parties in the current midterm elections.

As the capital of California, Sacramento is not the largest population and has not developed various industries. However, there are two types of people who are definitely among the top in the state, namely politicians and professional lobbyists.

Politicians manipulate policies, and professional lobbyists follow the will of the funder and convince politicians to manipulate policies.

At this moment, many people in the venue are descendants of the above two types of people, and Evan is the one with the largest background. These people are particularly concerned about activities such as midterm elections because they have been influenced by their families for a long time.

Of course, there are also counterexamples like Evan.

However, Evan didn't care or not, but his judgment on the current situation between the two parties was no worse than others.

"Because Truman fails to control prices and inflation, the Democratic Party will face the Republican challenge in Congress, and it is not impossible to capsize."

This conclusion has been agreed upon by some people.

"In particular, my father may...probably...maybe he will encounter some difficulties..." Everyone laughed in a low voice. Evan's words were obviously humble. "As for the California Legislature, it will also usher in the rise of new faces and new forces."

"Of course, there will be people going up, so some faces will disappear from the parliament building...for example, our Speaker."

At this time, someone asked, "Evan, do you think Mr. Charles will lose the competition with Mr. Knight?"

Evan said with an affirmative expression: "Of course!"

Before he finished speaking, he jumped out and said loudly: "Ha! A young boy! Nonsense!"

Evan looked at him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and everyone made way for the way, and the man walked to Evan.

This man is no one else, it is Harry Lyon, the son of Mr. Charles they just mentioned.

Evan put away his smile, with an inexplicable expression on his face, and looked at Lyon and said, "Sir, are you talking about me?"

Lyon looked at Evan with a dark face, and sneered, "Boy, what can you do to speak so hard here?"

"Just because of your outfit that you just got off work from the factory? I think it's better to hire a etiquette teacher to study hard before you go out. What do you think? And..."

When Lyon was about to mock Evan's female companion, he saw Evan not saying a word and with a calm face, suddenly came to Lyon with a quick step and punched him in the eyes.

"Ah!" Lyon let out a cry of pain and fell to the side. Fortunately, there was someone next to him. The man subconsciously helped him, and Lyon did not fall to the ground.

Lyon regained his balance, covered his eyes with one hand, and shouted at Evan in anger: "FXXK, what are you doing?"

As he said that, Lyon walked towards Evan, while raising a fist to try to hit him back.

Unfortunately, Lyon looks like a bamboo pole, and even with his fists, he has no deterrence.

Evan tilted his mouth and went up to him. Just as he was about to punch him, two strong men clamped him from left to right. At the same time, Lyon was also controlled and unable to move.

Evan frowned and said to the people on both sides: "Let go!"

The strong man looked at each other, without any movement.

"I won't do it anymore."
