At Caltech, the spring semester begins in early January and ends in mid-March, making it a shorter semester.

A few days after Evan returned from Boston, the first semester of 1949 ended.

While the average student is going into spring break and thinking about how to relax, Evan can't stop and rest.

March 21.

It's another Monday.

Nine a.m., McDonald's Corporation Operations Headquarters.

Maurice MacDonald chaired the regular morning meeting, which was attended by all employees working at headquarters. However, including Charlie Bell, who is in charge of finance, there are only about a dozen people in the entire headquarters.

Linda is also among the dozen or so, and she is the most notable one on the entire McDonald's team.

Not only because of her appearance, or her background (colleagues know that she was stuffed into the company by investors, and she has not graduated from college yet), but also because of the ability she shows in her work and her attitude towards her work.

The morning meeting ended quickly, and Morris adjourned.

After half a year of training, Morris has gone from knowing nothing about company management to now doing a good job, and his progress is not insignificant. has a group of energetic subordinates who are mostly higher than him, and the pressure he feels is not ordinary.

It can be said that the motivation brought by this pressure to work hard and improve is no less than the wealth brought to him by the expectation of project success.

"By the way, Miss Sproul, you wait a minute. ”

After the meeting was adjourned, Morris suddenly remembered something and stopped Linda.

"Is there anything else you have to explain? manager!"

Linda subconsciously thought that Morris had something to say about work, but saw Morris wave his hand and said, "Uh, no...... Just now, the chairman's office on the second floor called, saying that you have time to come over. ”

"Uh, I see. ”

"You can go down now, work without hurry. ”

Linda thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay." ”

The chairman's office that Morris refers to is naturally Evan's.

The office area of McDonald's is located upstairs from the Applied Physical Systems Company, and the reason for this arrangement is that McDonald's is still very weak at this time, and the office space required is not large, and there is no need to spend money on it.

It just so happened that some people from the Applied Physical Systems Company were transferred to Xerox some time ago, and the space was vacated a lot, and McDonald's was wasted there if it was not used.

"What is Evan doing with himself at this time?"

Linda was a little strange that since she joined the company, Evan had never looked for her during working hours.

Could it be ......

Linda suddenly had a bad premonition.

Upstairs and downstairs, a few steps away, Linda took several minutes. She was hesitant to release Evan's pigeons.

However, Linda eventually gave up on this useless idea.

What should come will always come, and it is useless to escape.

"Bang bang!!"

Passing through the common office area, a grim-faced Linda came to the outside of Evan's office and knocked on the door as if no one was around.

"Please come in!"

It's a little vague, but Linda is pretty sure it's Evan's voice.

Linda pulled a strand of naughty hair behind her ears, pushed the door in with a calm expression, looked at Evan who was sitting behind the desk and buried her head in the papers, she said in a businesslike tone: "Chairman, you look for me." ”

Hearing the voice, Evan immediately raised his head and looked at Linda, with a look of surprise on his face: "Linda, I thought you would wait until the end of work to come over so soon......"

Linda blinked and said, "The chairman has a life, how dare those of us who get a salary slack off." ”

Evan looked at Linda and smiled slightly, this tenacious girl will also say grotesque and teasing people.

Sure enough, society is the best university.

"Sit down, do you want something to drink?"

Evan gestured to the couch for the reception.

"No, thank you. Linda shook her head: "Chairman, let's hurry up and get down to business, I see that you have a bunch of things waiting for you to do on your desk." ”

Evan didn't care, and said, "The work can't be done, it's okay to be a little lazy." ”

"Of course, it's none of your business. Evan stepped over from his desk and sat down across from Linda.

He looked at Linda carefully and saw that she had light makeup on her face, and she looked a little more mature than before, but she had lost a lot of weight.

Linda noticed Evan's scrutinizing gaze, and her eyes rolled uneasily.

This is a rare time for the two to be alone for many years, but Linda is not the slightest bit excited

"Linda, you ......"

Evan was about to say something of concern when Linda interrupted, "Evan, I'm fine. ”

She bit her lip stubbornly, staring at Evan without blinking.

Evan opened his mouth, but for a moment he couldn't get any more on what he had thought of.

Linda's snatching can be said to be a clear telling Evan that she has already guessed the purpose of Evan looking for her today.

Evan was silent, Linda didn't say anything more, and the office became silent.

After a while, Evan broke the silence: "Linda, I'm sorry. ”

When Linda heard this, her face suddenly turned pale.

"Sure enough, he couldn't accommodate me anymore. ”

Evan scratched his head: "Linda, I seem to have made a big mistake by letting you into the company and later suggesting that you join the talent plan." ”

"I have understood, you may be for a show, maybe you are simply strong, in short, the work is not ordinary hard work and seriousness. However, high-intensity work requires a healthy body as support, and you ...... Obviously, you're a lot thinner than last year. ”

"If your brother and Uncle Sprour know about you, I guess I'm in trouble. So ......"

"So, you're going to repent, fire me, and drive me away?" asked Linda calmly.

Of course, her calmness is only expressive, and no one knows about her inner fluctuations.

"Yes!" Evan nodded first, then shook his head, and the conversation changed suddenly: "That's what I originally planned. ”

"I've changed my mind now, though. ”

"Huh?" Linda blinked confusedly.

Evan looked at Linda, sighed, and said, "Linda, I can probably guess why you want to work in my company." ”

"I'm still the same sentence, you like me, I'm honored, but my heart has been given to Audrey, and there is no spare place for anyone else. ”

"Linda, as a friend, I want you to be happy, but your happiness is not in me. ”

"As a friend, I can and I can do many things for you, including providing opportunities for you to exercise your abilities, but I don't include myself. ”

"Linda, are you listening?"

Linda nodded slightly, and her face was much better now.

"It's good to be listening......"

"I don't ask you what you think now, I hope you will think carefully when you go back and whether you want to continue with your current plans. ”

"Of course, you can continue to stay in the company if you want, but I hope that you can cherish your body. ”

"Is that okay?"
