Sometimes it's better to do things slowly, and sometimes it's the opposite.

Evan's trip to New Jersey falls into the latter category.

That same night, Evan boarded a train to the eastern United States. As a result, he missed the weekend meeting with the members of the "Plane Walker's House" community.

On Saturday, the "Magic House" in downtown Los Angeles, led by Orville and Parsons, gathered dozens of active community members.

Today, somewhat surprisingly, Rick is here too.

This is his first time in recent months.

Previously, Rick had been in a state of de facto resignation, and Orville was ready to remove him in accordance with the articles of association.

Even though Rick was one of the founding products of the organization and a member of the Board of Trustees, Orville intended to do so.

Orville knew in his heart that Rick was just a fun toy to be discarded, and for him, the meaning and purpose were completely different.

Orville takes Evan very seriously, and that's his personal judgment. In his opinion, Evan may not take over the class of his father, Governor Earl, but it is not difficult to become one of the powerful men in the United States, a wealthy capitalist in the world.

As we all know, in the United States, capital is the real master.

As a "mortal" who thought that he was not talented enough in scientific exploration, and had no interest in following his father's old path into politics, and only had some confidence in his human vision, Orville set his life goal early.

He just wants to be like a vine, clinging to a big tree, and live at ease.

The key is that he has to choose a tree that has enough prospects and can grow tall enough to cling to.

In his opinion, Evan Warren is an excellent "fit and right".

His head is genius enough, and as a senior, Orville can vouch for that.

His background is enough to ensure his growth, and as a small political second-generation, Orville is equally confident in it.

Therefore, Orville is already preparing to climb the big tree of Evan, and it is his foreshadowing actions to connect Evan with his father, and to take care of and develop the "Plane Walker's House".

Orville felt that by laying the groundwork, he could quickly integrate into the Evan-centric collective.

In Rick's absence, Orville had almost completely mastered the "Plane Walker's House" community. Under his auspices, the development of the club has been very smooth. By the end of the 1947-1948 academic year, Caltech's societies had more than 500 members. In addition, the club also opened branches in other schools according to the original plan. This is thanks to the popularity of the Plane Walker's House card game.

"Orville, isn't Evan coming today?"

At the beginning of the meeting, Rick took the opportunity to ask Orville about it.

Orville said, "Yes, he's not available. ”

Rick said, "It's a shame. ”

After graduating from school, Rick chose to support himself. Without any outside involvement, he joined the California Federal Bank as an ordinary loan officer. The name of this bank looks very atmospheric, but in fact it is not large, and it is not even in the top 10 in California. KERRICK STILL CHOSE IT ON THE PREMISE OF GETTING AN OFFER FROM WELLS FARGO.

After graduating in June, Rick joined the bank and has been working for more than a month now. The job of a loan officer is not very difficult for him, but it gives him a lot of gains. The reason why he came back to this club meeting this time was to talk to Evan. Because it was an impromptu idea, Rick didn't make an appointment with Evan in advance. It's a pity that this time Evan is not there.

"By the way, do you know why Evan didn't come?"

Rick had a glimmer of hope, he knew that Evan was not very interested in club activities either, and the reason why he was absent was probably just to rest at home and not to go out.

"Do you have something to do with him?" Orville really knew the reason, originally Evan did plan to come, and changed the itinerary temporarily, so Evan specially called Orville to explain the reason: "Evan went to New Jersey because of work. ”

Hopeless, Rick said, "It's not a coincidence. ”

Evan was gone, and Rick lost the desire to stay in an instant.

"Indeed," Orville nodded sympathetically, ......, "but there is no way around it. ”

"Now that we're here, let's have a fight, how about it?"

Orville saw his intentions on Rick's face and took out the card pack and extended an invitation to him.

Letting Rick leave the club is also a big loss for the club. Since Rick is not averse to club activities, it is better to take this opportunity to let him return to the club.

Orville thought.

Three days later.

Upper Montclair, New Jersey, home to the headquarters of Dumont Laboratories.

After Evan arrived, he first rested for a while, and then got a chance to meet privately with Ellen Dumont through relevant channels.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Ellen Dumont showed up at Evan's hotel. Evan specially prepared a private room, in addition to the sumptuous food, more importantly, the environment is confidential.

"Hello, Mr. Dumont. ”

When Dumont, who was forty-eight years old and had a round face and a bald hair, walked into the private room and saw that he was greeted by a young man who was estimated to be less than twenty years old, he couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Who are you...... What about Mr. Evan Warren?"

At this time, there was no one else in the room except Dumont himself and the young man in front of him.

Isn't he the chairman and founder of Applied Physical Systems?

The man in front of him...... No matter how you look at it, it's impossible.

Evan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to Dumont, and said, "I am Evan Warren himself, the real thing." ”

Dumont was surprised, but he quickly realized that the person who appeared here could not be a liar. Dumont restrained his expression, shook Evan's hand, and said, "I'm sorry, you're a little too young, so that my old man didn't react for a while." ”

Evan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it." ”

"That's why I didn't contact you personally to purchase a picture tube. ”

"Again, age itself may not be a reflection of a person's strength, but for the most part, people will use it to judge a person's first impression," Dumont said. ”

After a few simple words to resolve the embarrassment, before a table of good dishes could even be touched, Dumont asked unceremoniously: "Mr. Warren, what is the purpose of coming from afar this time to show his true body?"
