Chapter 92 Ordinary Christmas

Nina's attendance at the banquet represents the openness of Magic7's relationship with the governor's family.

This makes a lot of sense, and it's even a bit sudden for some people.

After the Christmas holiday, all executives exercised their options.

This Christmas, Evan had a simple life, without any special surprises, and the gifts he gave were all accepted happily.

On Christmas Eve, Evan and Audrey went to the church to watch ballet together, which was organized by Mrs. Selena, which made up for the regrets of last year.

The only drawback is that there is no snow on Christmas Eve this year.

On Christmas Day, after the five brothers and sisters shared the gifts, Virginia went out. Evan knew she was going to meet her classmates.

As for Evan himself, he went to Chester's house and after he came back, he stayed at home and was "bullied" by his twin sisters one after another.

The reason why I didn't stay with Audrey was because she also made an appointment with a friend today.

She wants to go shopping with Kairoer.

Evan thought, probably Audrey and the others would meet Virginia unexpectedly in a certain store.

Sacramento's business district is not big.

Albert and Carl and his son came to the door together at noon, and they were left at the residence to have lunch with the Warren family.

In the afternoon, the bored Evan and Robert played against Rubik's Cube, and were completely defeated by Robert, who was well versed in this way. Evan lost to Robert for a Rubik's Cube, plus a blank "check".

Seeing this, the twins also wanted to compete with Evan. Evan deliberately refused and was suppressed by the two of them on the sofa. In the end, Evan had to "barrassedly" agree. As long as the two sisters played and sang a song for him, he would give them a "check" each.

The sisters immediately slapped their high-fives to celebrate, and then sang a Christmas song to Evan with great sincerity.

However, Evan was not angry about it. This was what he deliberately sent out for reasons.

When the sisters finished their performance, Evan sat in front of the piano and played it with the technique of Shengse. The melody was something that Dora and the others had never heard of.

After listening to a short passage, they had good musical literacy and knew that this was a good song.

About four minutes later, after playing the song, Dora was about to ask questions, but Evan did not stop, but continued to play from the beginning.

With the first exercise, this one was obviously much smoother.

At the same time, with the sound of the piano, Evan started singing.

“When I was young

I'd listen to the radio

Waiting for my favorite songs…”

Evan's voice was not outstanding, nor did he have any special singing skills, but as soon as the lyrics came out, Dora and Dorothy were deeply attracted.

After the song was finished, Dora and Dorothy blocked Evan from left to right, begging him to record the score and lyrics.

Nina, who came to the piano room at some point, hummed "Hmm" and stopped the sisters from making trouble.

She looked at Evan and asked, "New song?"

Evan nodded.

"The song is good, it sounds nice, but the lyrics are singed from your mouth, which is a bit inconsistent."

After a small comment, Nina left.

Dora didn't care whether it was inconsistent or not. As soon as Nina left, she grabbed Evan's arm and shook it.

"Hurry up, hurry up, otherwise I will knock on your door at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

While shaking, Dora threatened.

Faced with this pediatric-like threat, Evan smiled contemptuously and said, "Dora, your trick is useless. Don't say that you can't get up by yourself at six o'clock. Let me tell you, at school, I get up at less than six o'clock every day!"

The sisters were shocked when they heard this. Dorothy even covered her mouth and looked up and down carefully at Evan, as if confirming whether the person in front of her was her brother.

He had never gotten up before seven o'clock.

Although the tricks of the past were useless, Dora was not someone who would give up easily. She rolled her eyes and grabbed Evan's arm and said, "You just gave me a 'check', and now I'm asking for cash!"

"Are you sure?" Evan wanted her to think more about it. "You know, I said that this 'check' can fulfill any wish, as long as I can."

Duola nodded violently, without any intention of remorse.

In her heart, what Evan calls a "check" is not a precious thing.

After thinking about it, Evan sighed, pinched Dora's face for a moment, and said, "Forget it, I'll give it to you this time!"

Dora said, "No, I will use it if I say I can't use it anyway. I won't use it in the future. Write it quickly, I'll get you a pen!"

As he said that, Dora ran to Earl's study in a hurry and asked him for paper and pen.

Evan shook his head helplessly.

After composing the lyrics and music on the piano cover, Evan gave up the seat and Dora couldn't wait to sit on it.

Evan did not disturb his excited sisters, and when he left the piano room, Earl called him into the study.

Earl's study was not very spacious. A desk, several sofas and bookcases occupied most of the area. On the wall were black and white photos of several outstanding governors in front of them, and Earl's own photos were also on it.

After Evan came in, Earl, who was sitting at the desk, took off his glasses and asked, "Old Friesman, is there no problem?"

Evan walked to the desk, took a Reynolds ballpoint pen from Earl's pen holder, and replied while pressing the tip of the pen, "Don't worry, there is no problem at all."

"Old Friesman just lacks fame, not that he is not skilled."

"That's good!" Earl nodded when he heard Evan say this. As an old friend of decades, he didn't want his son to cheat the old friend.

Earl put on his glasses again, and Evan asked, "What are you reading, official documents?"

"It's a holiday now and a rest time, and you should pay attention to the combination of work and rest."

Earl just pretended not to hear Evan's advice, "This is from your Uncle William Noland, I have to see it. Mr. Robert Taft, chairman of the Senate Labor Committee, wants to use a knife on the Wagner Act and is seeking opinions from all parties."

(For the sake of harmony) Evan did not ask the chairman exactly what he wanted to do, but instead showed an uninterested expression as always, asking, "Is there anything else?"

Earl waved his hand, Evan curled his lips, consciously stopped making a sound, and did not insert the ballpoint pen back when he left.

When Evan turned his pen with one hand and left the study, Earl looked up at the pen holder, then looked at the door, and shook his head gently.

Ballpoint pens are currently a popular product. Although the unit price is expensive (taking Evan’s Renault brand as an example, one is $12.5), the sales volume is very high and has been keenly pursued by consumers in the past two years.

However, the ballpoint pens at this time are not very mature, and they are not good enough in ink performance and pen tip performance. Therefore, the market for ballpoint pens has shown signs of saturation recently, and consumer interest has dropped significantly.

The first commercially produced ballpoint pen was invented by British Biro, and his brand was called Birome. The Renault in Evan was the American entrepreneur Milton Reynolds who used the Birome ballpoint pen himself and felt that it had great prospects. After redesigning and avoiding Biro's patents, he released the product.
