Chapter 83 On the way

After the election, the Democratic Party suffered an unprecedented defeat and Truman became a lame president.

Almost all the "black blame" for this result was covered by Truman.

He did not handle labor-management relations well, resulting in frequent strikes.

He did not deal with the post-war price control, causing price surges and inflation.

So his approval rating is as low as 32%.

As for his order to use atomic bombs to make Japan surrender, end the war, and build the United Nations... no one cares about this.

Without attending the re-election dinner, Evan returned to Los Angeles.

The class that was missing for a few days was nothing. He just wanted to give Audrey a surprise to successfully win the first stage role earlier.

Back at school, Evan suddenly felt that his classmates suddenly became enthusiastic about him, and his eyes were mixed with admiration and admiration.

Evan found it strange, so he asked Werner.

Warner patted his shoulder, only prompting him with the word "exam" and said nothing else.

However, it is enough to have these two words.

It turned out to be the impact of midterm exam results.

This semester, Evan has a physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, science writing, scientific ethics, and three general social and humanities courses, with a total of nine courses. Evan's mid-term scores were all "passed".

Just looking at this evaluation is not worthy of being treated so differently. After all, Evan is not the only one who gets all "passed" at one time.

But it would not be surprising if all five of the nine courses were taken out by the teacher as a "case" to comment in class.

The students who attended the class with Evan truly realized that this was a top student.

At Caltech, academic masters are the most popular people.

Unlike in other comprehensive universities, social figures are the center of everyone.

Faced with this change, Evan showed a clear and uneven pace of doing things and learning.

In mid-November, "Evan Second Laboratory" officially moved from the garage of "House in the Forest" to the Inglewood, APS and ACAH's station.

The basic structure of APS was done by Carl, and he was already familiar with this. Of course, the R&D department responsible for productizing rice cookers was established by Evan himself. Everyone in this department, from the manager responsible for the overall R&D work, to the engineers who implemented the specific implementation, Evan himself interviewed.

This department is different from Chester's laboratory and is considered his direct line in research and development.

Evan is planning ahead.

Currently, there are not many people in this department, only one manager and four engineers. The manager is Joe Wells, who has just immigrated to the United States from the Netherlands. Before that, he worked in Philips' R&D department for more than ten years and was a senior electronics engineer. In the just-concluded war, Wells was scared and came to the United States from afar in order to give himself and his family a sense of security.

Wells felt that there was no safer place in the world than the United States.

In a sense, Wells' judgment is extremely correct.

This time when I returned to Sacramento, Evan also did something, which was to give Magic7 a bonus. The amount was not much, which was $500,000. The money was used for APS and ACAH.

After the APS R&D department was established, Evan immediately asked Wells, who was already familiar with the technical information, to inspect and negotiate the magnet factory in Connecticut.

If the product is feasible, Evan hopes to negotiate the supply contract.

Not long after, the Thanksgiving holiday arrived.

Thanksgiving this year is November 28th, and the holiday lasts until Sunday (December 1st).

Speaking of which, at first, there was no fixed unified date for each state on Thanksgiving, and it was not until five years ago (1941) that Congress designated the fourth Thursday of November every year.

Thanksgiving is a festival for Americans to gather together. This time, Audrey can't stay alone in Los Angeles. The last time Evan returned to Sacramento and visited Joseph by the way, he had already had a lot of resentment.

Evan and his group returned home on the 27th and drove a car bought by Virginia.

Of course, the money for buying a car comes from Evan.

The driver was taken turns by Bob and Haynes, and Evan sat in the back seat and the car was not fast along the way.

Because this car doesn't have a seat belt.

This is also why Evan uses this car.

At this moment, the seat belts for SecurityFitting have not been shipped, and only Sacramento laboratories still have inventory if they want to install seat belts.

Virginia's car is the same as Evan's, but the colors are different, so it's very easy to modify the laboratory.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Ford was speeding on the highway. Evan leaned against the window and watched the scenery on the roadside retreat quickly, without getting involved in the topic of the two girls.

They discuss what they should add to themselves or their families before Christmas, and when to go to which department store to buy cheap and affordable items.

At this moment when Black Friday has not really become synonymous with the shopping craze before and after Christmas, the two girls have become quite a shopping expert.

Before the holiday, the Los Angeles Elk Lodge people found Evan again with Daniel Gray, hoping that he could join BPOE.

Evan still did not nod and agreed. Daniel left disappointed again.

"ah!"

The car suddenly changed its line, and the two girls fell to Evan's side and shouted in dismay.

Evan hugged Audrey tightly. After the car returned to balance, he found a sports car with a universal logo next to him running side by side.

At this time, Evan heard the driver Haynes curse, "FXXK, what does this guy want to do?"

Bob, who was in the passenger seat, turned around and asked, "Evan, ladies, aren't you injured?"

Evan replied: "I'm fine!"

At the same time, he saw the appearance of the other driver clearly and ordered: "Lei, park the car on the side of the road!"

Although Haines was puzzled, he still faithfully carried out Evan's order. After the Ford slowly slowed down and stopped on the side of the road, the sports car also made the same move.

The sports car is in front and the Ford is in the back, and the two cars are about twenty meters apart.

After the car stopped, Evan kept the frightened Audrey and her sister in the car. She got out of the car and walked slowly towards the sports car.

A man with a cigarette in his mouth came out of the sports car and slowly walked towards Evan.

"Hi, Evan!" After the two sides met, the man greeted with a relaxed look on his face: "It's not easy to meet you!"

He took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and gestured at Evan and Bob: "Do you want one?"

Evan did not take the cigarette and said with a calm face: "Jack Warner, your behavior is not a friendly expression."

Warner put away his cigarette and said, "Oh, you said... this was indeed my fault. I apologize to you for my inappropriate actions."

He owed Evan and said, "But you have to understand me. It is of course to be a little excited when you encounter a target that you haven't seen for many days on this empty road..."

“Hopefully this doesn’t affect your perception of Masonicity.”

Evan said coldly: "Your hope is going to fail!"

Warner froze on his face, then he slapped: "Evan, you are still so direct!"

"Is Evan going back to Sacramento for Thanksgiving?"

Warner tried to change the topic, but Evan refused to respond with a stern face.

Seeing this, Warner pinched the cigarette in his hand and said again in a more formal posture than before: "Please allow me to apologize to you and your friends for the unsafe behavior just now!"

Seeing Warner doing this, Evan's face softened. He looked at Warner who was no longer as frivolous as he was, and said, "This time, I accept it."

"I won't think about joining the club before graduating from college, I hope you can understand."

"We still have to hurry up, so we won't talk to you more here. Mr. Warner, be careful on the way!"

As he said that, Evan shook hands with Warner and returned to the car.

Warner stood by the side of the road and lit a cigarette, and after smoking it halfway through it.

Looking at the Ford car that was moving away, he suddenly laughed.
