The morning meeting ended with warm applause, and the week's work began.

Instead of going back to the second floor, Evan put on a red hard hat and went to the construction site with the engineering and construction department to inspect the progress of the project.

It was more than an hour.

When Evan walked into the office building again, sweating profusely, he didn't have time to drink a glass of water to cool off, and Amilia, who was working temporarily at the front desk, reported: "Boss, there is a Mr. Reporter who wants to interview you." ”

At this time, the front desk of the application semiconductor is just a decoration, and there is no special front desk reception, and this work is temporarily filled by Evan's secretaries in turn.

Today it was Emilia's turn.

Evan put his untaken hard hat on the counter at the front desk, shook his head, and said, "Amilia, you know I don't take interviews. ”

Evan was speaking declaratively, but he was actually asking Amilia, "Why do you know this rule, but you still stab this in front of him?"

Emilia can be paid attention to by both Evan and Linda in the secretary group at the same time, and I naturally have no bad ability and brain, and I can understand what Evan means at once.

"BOSS, the reporter who made the interview request is from Time, and his identity has been confirmed. ”

He named Evan Warren, Caltech's youngest Ph.D. in history. ”

As soon as Evan heard this, he understood why Emilia didn't directly refuse.

"Where are the people?"

"In the secretary's room on the second floor, there are sisters coping. ”

Evan raised his hand to look at the time, thought for a moment and ordered, "You go and inform him in five minutes, just say that I don't accept interviews, but you can talk to him." ”

With that, he walked up the stairs.

Like many bosses, Evan's office is not just an office, it not only has its own bathroom, but also air conditioning and refrigerators.

Evan washed his face in the bathroom and changed into a T-shirt. Five minutes later, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in. ”

As the words fell, the door was opened by Emilia, and a tall middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked in.

Evan sat on the couch and did not get up to greet him, and Emilia led the man to Evan.

"BOSS, this is Walter Kate. ”

After Emilia introduced the name of the visitor, Evan nodded to the other party and said, "Hello, please be seated." ”

Evan's attitude was quite unsightly.

The man, that is, Walter Kate, looked at Evan openly, his eyes did not show surprise, and naturally replied: "Hello, Mr. Warren." ”

Then he sat down across from Evan unceremoniously.

Only then did Evan give him a straight look, look it from top to bottom, and then ask, "Are you really a reporter?"

Walter was stunned, "Of course." ”

Evan looked at each other empty-handed and said, "I've never seen a reporter without a pen or notebook. ”

"The pen and notebook are the guys for the journalist's dinner, and I certainly don't forget to bring them. Walter looked at Evan and said, "But, unfortunately, the person I booked today did not agree to be interviewed, so I let these guys outside the ladies keep them for me temporarily." ”

"I see. ”

Evan bowed slightly, and couldn't help but glance at the uninvited reporter.

It's pretty good, isn't it?

Dare not bring a pen, it seems that he is very confident in his memory.

"Would you like something to drink?"

Walter said, "Coffee will do. ”

Evan looked at Amilia, who had been waiting, and said, "Did you hear that?"

Emilia nodded in understanding, and then turned to leave.

At this point, Walter added, "I want the flavor I just drank." ”

After speaking, Walter smiled at Evan and said, "It's rare to drink such a good taste of Blue Mountain, which is imported directly from Jamaica." ”

"You have a good tongue. Evan said, "Can we start?"

Walter said: "You are the master, you have the final say. ”

Evan got straight to the point as soon as he arrived: "Why did Time come to interview me?"

Walter replied, "Are you Evan Warren himself?"

"Of course. ”

"Just turned 20 this year?"

"Yes. ”

"You have a Ph.D. in physics and a master's degree in chemistry from Caltech, right?"

"That's right!"

"You're still the inventor of the Rubik's Cube?"

"......" Evan was silent for a while.

"What the patent office found, judging from the registered address at the time, I don't think it's just the same name and surname. ”

"Well, I'll admit it. ”

"So, obviously, the founder of the Demon Seven Company is you. ”

“……”

Evan didn't speak, Walter took him as a tacit, and then said: "Not only the Rubik's Cube, but also many things related to your name, such as the must-have Band-aid, SONY TV, which accounted for 30% of the national sales of 7 million last year, and the transistor that is extremely valued by the scientific community, etc......."

"Time is a news organization that focuses on topical current events and people. ”

"Look at these...... Do you think you, who are closely connected to these, have the value of being interviewed by Time?"

"It's ......" Evan shrugged his shoulders and laughed at himself, "Well, it looks like I asked an idiot's question." ”

Walter said, "So, can I bring my pen and notebook in?"

"No!" Evan shook his head in dismay.

Walter spread his hands regretfully, "Can I ask 'why'?"

"Just report it out, and your name will spread throughout the United States. ”

"There's no particular reason, all I can say is ...... The timing is not right. ”

"And I don't want my name to be read by everyone. ”

Walter paused and said, "What's wrong with that?"

"You're smart, you're a rich man from scratch, you have a quality and dynamic company like the Magic Seven, Applied Physics Systems, and you can even become a representative of the whole of America if you want to, an icon of the times. ”

"So, again—why?"

After a moment of silence, Evan said, "Because, I don't want to lose my freedom too soon. ”

“……？”

An hour later, Walter was escorted out of the building by Emilia.

And Evan, who had just finished an interview that was not an interview, sat on the sofa with a frown.

Why did the reporter of "Time" come to interview him, after the exchange just now, Evan roughly confirmed some speculation.

Wall Street?

That's for sure.

But whether it was Morgan's instructions or Rockefeller's mastermind behind it, Evan couldn't be sure for the time being.

Evan didn't care, though. Because whoever it is, it will be the same for him to face later.

There's no way around it now, who will be released first to buy time? Demon Seven still applies the physical system, or does it apply health care?

Well, judging from the future earnings, let's put the Magic Seven Company out. 8)
