Since ancient times, the relationship between peers has been the most intriguing.

Peer jealousy is the norm, but sometimes they maintain a fighting but not breaking situation.

Either way, it's all about profit.

Therefore, despite all the unhappiness with Shockley, Evan did not make any small moves when he reported.

At the end of the third day of the conference, Evan was a little in the limelight, and at the same time, he also let the research of transistors be known to more people, which was a good achievement of the original goal.

On the last day of the meeting, Evan did not attend.

He went on a trip.

When I came to Boston, I had to go to Harvard University and MIT to see it.

Evan first went to Harvard University, and his guide was Professor Edward Purcell.

After only a few days of acquaintance, the two hit it off at first sight, and when they heard that Evan was going to visit Harvard University, Purcell offered himself to be a guide.

Anyway, on the last day, he didn't have a report he particularly wanted to hear.

Harvard University and MIT are in Cambridge, on the north bank of the Charles River. As a well-established university in the United States, their campuses have their own characteristics, Harvard University's buildings are mainly red bricks, but each building has a different style, and the campus of MIT is just like its name, simple and practical, showing the characteristics of science and technology.

Evan's trip to the University of Cambridge lasted until the afternoon, and he made his mark at both schools. Especially at MIT, he deliberately stayed a little longer, hoping to meet Mr. Qian who did not attend the annual meeting. It's a pity that Evan's luck was mediocre and he didn't get his wish.

Evan wasn't too disappointed not to meet Mr. Qian, anyway, if everything goes well, he will be able to meet him at Caltech next semester.

Professor Robert Goddard at Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is vacant, and Dean Dubridge is approaching Mr. Qian on the recommendation of von Kallmann. Evan felt that Mr. Qian's choice should not surprise him, after all, his situation at MIT was not very good at this time. The red suspicion on his body made it difficult for him to carry out normal research work. And if he returns to California, where the atmosphere is a little more relaxed, it will only be good for him.

At the end of his trip to Cambridge, Evan returns to his hotel in the evening to meet Leiden. The next day, they boarded the train back to California.

The journey back was long, and the train was not suitable for reading, so Evan and Layton had to play cards and chat.

The cards they played weren't poker, they were cards that Evan had made.

Under Evan's influence, there wasn't a single member of Warren Layton's lab who didn't play cards. I don't know if this is considered "something good at the top, but it will be very bad at the bottom".

Accompanied by the very regular sound of the wheels of the train colliding with the rails, Layton played a card and said, "Evan, when you go back, you still want to run between the company and the academy?"

Evan nodded, and while calculating the comparison of the combat power of the two sides, he said, "Yes." ”

"However, it will be better after this month. ”

Layton said, "That's right...... Shall I leave my visiting scholar business after spring break?"

"It's for the best. "After spring break, I should be able to go back to the lab," Evan said. ”

"Until then, Leyton, you'll have to bear with it. ”

Evan said this, but instead played a series of actions in his hand, emptying Leyton's summons, and if nothing else, he would win the game in his next turn.

"Ah, lost again, let's reopen. Seeing this, Leiden simply and neatly conceded defeat, "I don't have much to manage in the laboratory." Still, Evan, I think you should think about how to balance the lab with your outside career. ”

"After all, labs are getting bigger and bigger, and students need your guidance. ”

Evan held the cards in his hand, nodded slightly, and said, "...... you are right"

"Speaking of which, it's a bit irresponsible for the lab to do this. ”

"But don't worry too much, Leyton, the lab is no less important to me than my companies, and I'm going to get a PhD for these studies. ”

Layton smiled when he heard this, "For you, a doctorate is easy and easy to obtain. ”

"In my opinion, even if you are given a degree now, you deserve it. ”

Evan shook his head: "That's not good, I want a real degree, just forget about the honor." ”

"Well, come on, let's draw cards in order. ”

A new round begins.

……

At the same time, Los Angeles, California.

Linda and a colleague show up at a transportation hub to inspect the scene.

Linda agreed to Carl's request last year to step down as his assistant and join the talent development program. However, because she couldn't work full-time, the position was not easy to arrange, and finally after consulting her, Carl first transferred her to McDonald's, and then after she graduated, he would arrange the position training according to the training plan.

Now, Linda is part of McDonald's marketing. This position requires her to run outside often to check whether the store location is suitable or not.

Linda and her colleagues are new employees with little experience and are in the learning and training phase, and their teacher is the older brother of the MacDonald brothers.

"Linda, what do you think of this place?" asked Linda's male colleague, standing on the side of the road, watching the traffic on the road. He glanced at Linda, who was holding her notebook, and then looked away for a moment. With a suit on the upper body and a straight skirt on the bottom, Linda, who works seriously, exudes a dazzling light all over her body, which makes it impossible to look at directly.

Linda stared intently at the gas station on the side of the road, counting the number of vehicles entering and leaving, and replied after a while: "Preliminary judgment, I think it's okay, well, you can join the shortlist for the time being." ”

In the duo, Linda is the clear leader.

"Alright, that's pretty much the point here, let's move on to the next place. ”

After a few minutes, Linda closed the notebook and beckoned to her male colleague.

"Oh, good!" said his colleague, who was peeking at Linda and was a little distracted, was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

The two sat in a car on the side of the road, and the male colleague was the driver, and before the car started, he asked, "It's almost noon, should we find a place to have lunch first?"

Linda looked through the notes, shook her head and refused, "No need, I brought something to eat." ”

"Well, let's go first, and when you get there, you can find something to eat yourself. It doesn't matter if I'm alone. ”

"That's not going to work. The colleague shook his head: "How could I leave you alone." ”

This is the time of performance, how can it be wasted.

Beauty in front of you, even if you are hungry for a meal.

With that in mind, my colleague started the car.
