Two weeks passed.

On the first Saturday of October, Evan appeared at the office in a suit.

There are many special things about working at Evan's company, and there are two that stand out the most. One is the high salary, especially the R&D and management positions, which are generally at least 10% higher than their peers. The other is that most of the employees also need to work on Saturdays, because Saturdays are the working hours of their big bosses.

This Saturday's schedule is not much different from the previous one, mainly meetings, all kinds of meetings. There are meetings to review the progress of various projects in the R&D department of Applied Physical Systems, and there are meetings to review the sales and promotion strategies of various products, including Applied Physical Systems and Applied Healthcare.

Today's meeting has a relatively small agenda, and all the things that are scheduled are over in one morning. In the afternoon, Evan had a rare leisure, so he and Carl chatted while drinking afternoon tea in the general manager's office.

The topic of the chat started with two new assistants at Carl's side.

The two assistants were also in the office at this time.

They are none other than Linda, and her roommate and senpai, Elizabeth Chambers.

"Carl, they've been working for a while, how do you feel they're doing?"

In front of the two of them, Evan asked.

These two assistants, Linda was forced to Carl by him, and it can only be regarded as part-time, while Elizabeth is different, she is a senior this year and needs a serious job to increase her competitiveness. She entered the company and went through the normal recruitment interview process, except for asking Linda to help recommend her at the beginning, she did not open the back door.

As for why Elizabeth wants to join the Applied Physical Systems company, in addition to knowing that Linda is also going to this company, but also because she is very optimistic about this company.

Carl glanced at the two women who were sitting at the desk on the surface sorting out the materials, but in fact they were listening attentively, and said in a voice that was neither high nor low: "It's all good, Elizabeth is in a state of flux, active in her work, meticulous and conscientious, no worse than Ginny." ”

Ginny is Carl's original assistant, a blonde beauty, who has been with him for more than a year, and recently had to resign for some special reasons, so Carl wants to hire a new assistant.

"Yes, that's good......" Evan looked relieved on the surface, but secretly sighed.

Well, trying to find an excuse to get Linda back to school doesn't seem to be working.

"Speaking of assistants, Carl, what are you going to do about Ginny?"

The reason for Ginny's resignation is unknown to others, but it is impossible for Evan not to know. Carl smiled bitterly and touched his nose and said, "What else can I do, I can only do that!"

"Alas...... wandering the flowers all day long, but I didn't think of a day when I was trapped. ”

Evan asked, "Old Barton knows?"

"That's right!" said Karl, "and it's because he knows that I have no choice." ”

"Old Barton wants to hug his grandson and wants to go crazy, and I don't know what he's anxious about?"

"Evan, I'm only twenty-eight years old......"

"Twenty-eight is not too young. Evan said, "It's time to find a partner and start a family." ”

Carl said: "BOSS, you don't understand this, do you still need to start a family to find a partner?"

Evan kept his mouth shut, not wanting to delve into the topic with him.

Because he felt a sharp gaze on him.

There was only one person in this room who dared to do that.

After taking a sip of black tea, Evan changed the subject and said, "Don't talk about this." ”

He saw a newspaper randomly placed on the sofa, took it casually, and asked as he flipped through it, "Do you still have time to follow the election?"

It's a Washington Post, and the front story is about the election.

Karl said: "That said, my boss is the candidate's son, do I dare not pay attention?"

"That's right!" Evan, after reading the cover article at a glance, put the newspaper aside, "It says that the Republican victory is easy, what do you think?"

Carl looked at the expressionless Evan, and for a moment he couldn't grasp the purpose of his question, so he replied cautiously: "The Post's point of view may be overly optimistic, but it's ......"

Evan said, "You also think the Republicans will win?"

"Yes. Karl hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, and at the same time looked at Evan with a puzzled expression: "No, boss, your tone is ...... Don't you want the Republicans to win?"

The Republican Party won, and Evan is the son of the vice president of the United States, and having this background is very beneficial to the industry he founded.

The reason Karl is so focused on the election is because he has to prepare well for the fallout of Earl Warren becoming vice president.

"Of course not, I also think the Republicans can win. Evan said: "After all, I'm still quite curious about the White House, Earl is the vice president, and no one cares when I go around every day." ”

Hearing Evan's words, Linda, who had been paying attention to them, suddenly put down her work, walked towards Evan, and forcibly interjected into the conversation between the two: "Evan, do you think the Republican Party will lose?

Although Elizabeth did not stop working, her speed slowed down significantly.

Evan glanced at Linda and said unhappily, "Linda, you seem to have work to do?"

Linda said willfully: "Then you can tell the reason quickly, and I will leave after listening." ”

Evan was speechless and sighed helplessly.

"I have my reasons for judging that the Republican Party might lose, and I can't say for a while. ”

Linda thought that Evan was perfunctory to her, and suddenly became a little unhappy: "If you don't say it, you won't say it......"

Evan didn't hear Linda's complaints, and continued: "Let me briefly state a few facts. ”

"First, I had people track the details of the campaign rallies of candidates from both parties, including frequency, on-site reactions, number of participants, and so on. The result is that our current president, Harry Truman, is far more diligent and popular with voters than Thomas Dewey. ”

Second, although Truman made a mess of the economy in the first two years, he could not be blamed entirely for this, and the economy has recently begun to improve with the implementation of the Marshall Plan. ”

Third, Truman's promised policies, especially in the area of civil rights, won the favor of many middle and lower classes. ”

When Linda heard this, she thought for a moment and retorted: "What you said is too vague and there is no clear data to support it. ”

And according to the latest news reports, Thomas Dewey's approval rating is quite ahead. ”

Evan paused for a moment and said, "Linda, don't be too superstitious about news and data. ”

"I'll just mention the fact that the poll data on the news comes from telephone surveys, and many of the areas that support Truman don't have a phone yet. ”

Linda was stunned.

Elizabeth covered her mouth in surprise.

Karl's eyes widened.
