The day after the annual meeting, Evan returned to Sacramento with Audrey.

At this time, the eldest brother Colin has not yet returned from Yale University.

This year, Evan didn't spend much time in Sacramento and soon left for the San Francisco Bay Area.

In the name of visiting Joseph Noland.

Joseph Noland, Earle's political mentor, was appointed chair of the California Centennial Committee last year to prepare for a series of commemorations.

Next year will be the centenary of the founding of California, and the seventy-six-year-old Mr. Joseph, who was dutiful for this position, actually fell ill some time ago.

Mr. and Mrs. Earl were going to visit in person, but they were unable to leave quickly due to official entanglements. After being found out by Evan, who was about to go to San Francisco, he took the matter over.

Parents can't get away for the time being, and as sons, they should do it for them.

Joseph Norland lives in Auckland. Evan spent two days in Auckland and had a close conversation with Mr. Joseph, who had basically recovered.

As Earl Warren's mentor, Joseph Noland is familiar with Warren's children, especially the older ones. Like Earl, he wanted to find a suitable future heir.

They unanimously chose the eldest brother Colin.

As for Evan, Joseph Noland's original evaluation was not very good, in addition to being clever, the personality he showed was really not suitable for the political arena.

Of course, seeing Evan's achievements now, both Joseph and Earl understand that it doesn't matter whether Evan enters politics or not.

His wealth was already enough to guarantee his future.

If it is cooperated with Colin again, the surname Warren cannot become like Rockefeller, and become an existence that cannot be ignored in the whole United States.

Because of this expectation, when Evan came to visit him, Joseph was happy and willing to spend some energy and time to convey to Evan the most valuable thing in him at this time - life experience.

Therefore, Evan's two days at the Norland house were a bit like a one-on-one tutoring class.

Before Evan left, Joseph, who knew what he was doing, said, "Evan boy, don't worry, do it boldly, as long as it follows the rules." This is California, and even they can't go beyond the rules. ”

After leaving Oakland, Evan first went on a trip to the University of California, Berkeley. Ostensibly to visit the Sprawls.

During the Christmas holidays, Linda also returned home.

The actual purpose was to take this opportunity to chat with Linda's uncle, Alan Sprour, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York who happened to be back in California on vacation, about the current situation of the Bank of America, and to consult some federal regulatory policies in the financial field.

Evan sat at the Sproul house for the afternoon, left before nightfall, and arrived in downtown San Francisco that night.

He stayed at the Imperial Hotel.

That night, at Sprour's family dinner, Alan Sprourer and Linda's father, Robert Sprourour, were unprecedentedly concerned about Linda's work at Warren.

Linda answered everything she could, but she didn't say a word about secrecy.

In this regard, her father and uncle didn't say anything, but his brother John laughed at her a little, saying that she didn't even listen to her family in order to protect her lover. Then, unsurprisingly, John was caught by Linda and beaten up.

Under the noses of a family.

After the fight, Linda also said confidently: "John, you see, no one came to save you, which means that you should fight." ”

"Secrecy is a character that is inherent in a social being, and even family members cannot leak secrets. ”

"Isn't it because I like him, understand?"

With that, Linda danced her fist and walked away, leaving John crying and laughing.

After Linda was gone, John looked at his father and uncle, rubbed his cheeks, and said, "Father, seeing my sister like this, it seems to be getting deeper and deeper, what should I do?"

"I said I couldn't let Linda stay in Los Angeles, and now it's okay......"

"Well, this Evan too, my sister is so disdainful, and she actually likes a Dutchman. ”

Robert Sprourer glared at John and scolded, "You still dare to say that if you hadn't supported Linda in the first place, she wouldn't have gone to Los Angeles to go to college in the first place." ”

"What's the use of talking about this now, an afterthought!"

"Okay, don't talk about that now. Alan interjected as the father and son stared at each other, "Linda is left to her for the time being." ”

"Anyway, I think she's also very popular with Evan, and she's not much of a vase role. ”

"Besides, Evan is a great little guy, and if it had been before, I wouldn't have agreed with Linda and him. Now, I just hope Linda can be a little more powerful and proactive. ”

"What?" John asked, his mouth wide open in surprise, "My dear uncle, what kind of ecstasy soup did Evan pour on you just now to make you think so highly of him?" ”

"Did he just start a toy company?"

"But?" Alan sneered, "John, how long has it been since you paid attention to Linda and Evan?"

John blinked innocently and whispered, "Isn't it?"

Alan didn't say anything, snorted, and left the back of his head for him.

John looked at his father, and Robert sighed and said, "If you're really interested, go find Linda yourself." ”

The next day, John, who had told his sister a lot of kind things, finally learned about Evan's current net worth from Linda. Then he lost his mind for a long time.

"I ...... LINDA, SONY, IS IT REALLY HIS BRAND?"

"Yes!"

"Band-Aid, too?"

"Yes!"

"And the 'porcelain princess' Xerox used by our bank?"

"That's right, but what does 'porcelain princess' mean?"

"Well, isn't it often broken, it's as fragile as porcelain, and it's expensive, so we gave it that nickname. ”

"Hmph! ”

"This ......"

"Xerox is ready to launch an improved version, and it will be much better by then......"

"It's useless for you to tell me, you have to buy it with the consent of the above. ”

"Huh?"

"Okay, okay, I'll help recommend it. ”

"Count you as acquaintances!"

……

Just when John, the older brother, was in front of his sister and had nothing to do, Evan successfully met the target.

Of course, this chance encounter was carefully arranged.

The so-called target is none other than Mr. Henry Morgan.

The meeting took place at the elevator entrance of the hotel at 9:05 a.m.

Henry Morgan was a man who paid close attention to time, and his every move was very easy to form a specific pattern.

Especially the itinerary.
