At around 10 o'clock in the evening, outside the apartment rented by the "High Heel Button Shoes" troupe, Evan and Audrey were reluctant to leave in the car and said goodbye.

"Okay, I have to go in. If I drag it down, the troupe's people have to come back. Maybe the reporter will follow me again."

Audrey kissed Evan on the cheek and said, "I had a great time today... Remember to wash the photos a little more!"

After getting Evan's guarantee, Audrey picked up her small slanted leather bag, opened the car door, got out of the car, closed the door, bent down and shook her hand at the window and said, "Evan, have a good dream tonight."

"Bob, thank you for your hard work today!"

Evan replied with a smile: "So, dear."

Bob left the steering wheel with his right hand, waved at Audrey and said, "This is my honor! Good night, Miss Audrey!"

After saying this, Audrey turned around, walked into the apartment happily with the strap of the slanted bag. After her figure disappeared, the Ford slowly started.

Soon, the crew who finished the evening performance returned to the apartment. Audrey waited for director Abbott in the corridor and informed him of her decision to finish the summer vacation.

"Sorry, Mr. Abbott, I know that quitting the crew halfway will cause you a lot of trouble, but..."

"Stop... Audrey!" Abbott interrupted Audrey's apology and said, "You don't need to apologize for this matter. You are still a student, so you take your studies as your own."

"So, I agree to your request."

Audrey said with an apology, "Thank you, Mr. Abbott."

Abbot said kindly: "No thanks, Audrey."

"However, you have to perform well in the next performance!"

Audrey nodded and said, "Okay, I will."

...

The next morning, Evan went to Smith and Granmore Press, who had just completed the acquisition, to appease the publishing staff. Then, he met Isaac Fields in the office.

Evan suppressed the surprise in his eyes very well, while Isaac was a little embarrassed.

About an hour later, the employee meeting ended. The former general manager Alan Granmo finally decided to stay, which made the old employees feel much more at ease. This shows that at least Alan Granmo has high confidence in the new boss, and maybe the publishing house can have a good future.

At noon, Evan found a restaurant and brought Isaac Fields to lunch.

This is a French restaurant, and Evan ordered the main dish of burnt quail with foie gras. Isaac, who was first in this high-end restaurant, was flattered and it took him a long time to get used to it.

"Isaac, have you figured out the novel outline?"

During the meal, Evan asked with interest.

Evan has a good impression of Isaac. Since Orville brought him into the club and he accidentally became a member of his company, Evan was happy to help.

Smith and Granmore Publishing House's business is about to change drastically, some unpopular cheap comics will be sold, and pulp novels will slowly transform into regular magazines, among which magazines specifically for fantasy novels are also under planning, so Evan thought that if Isaac's outline could satisfy him, he would sign him.

"Evan, I'm waiting for your words." Isaac was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He took out a few outlines of the story that had been prepared from his pocket, unfolded it while smoothing the wrinkles, and then handed it to Evan.

Evan wiped his hands, took the manuscript paper, and started reading curiously.

"The Gods Themselves"

...

At six o'clock in the evening, when it was getting dark or not, Evan came to Alan Sproul's villa again.

The last time he took the initiative to visit, but this time he was invited.

Today John Sproul is not there, and there are only Evan and Allen on the dinner table.

At the beginning, Alan Sproul just talked to Evan. The two talked about college, World War I, and World War II. Halfway through dinner, Alan Sproul suddenly asked, "Evan, have you finished your business in New York? When will you go back to California?"

Evan replied: "It's roughly done."

"As for the time to go back to California, if it goes well, it will be after the New York court sentenced the case. Of course, if it doesn't go well, I won't wait for it, and I will leave within a week at the latest."

Alan Sproul asked: "That case was held again on the 27th, right?"

Evan nodded and said, "Yes!"

Alan Sproul said: "There will be no problem in the case, you don't have to worry about this. CWT still has this ability."

"Evan, say hello to your father when you return to California!"

Evan replied, "Okay!"

Alan Sproultoned for a moment and said, "Also, help me ask a question..."

Evan's heart skipped a beat, and he understood that the show tonight was coming, and said, "You said!"

"Three years ago, he gave up the election. Please ask me if he will come again next year?"

"Okay, I've written it down!"

Evan thought for a while and asked, "Uncle Sproul, do you want my father to participate in next year's election?"

Alan Sproul said: "Yes!"

Evan asked again: "Is there hope?"

Alan Sproul glanced at Evan and asked back, "What, do you think your father is not good?"

Evan shook his head and said, "Of course not! But my father just has a prominent reputation in California. His support within the party and his national popularity seem to be the best candidate!"

Alan Sproul didn't think Evan was talking badly about his father, and thought about it and asked, "Who do you think is more suitable for the Republican Party?"

"Taft (then Senate Majority Leader)?" Allen Sproul asked and answered: "He can't do it. As soon as the bill came out yesterday, he broke his own union."

"Dewey (then Governor of New York and a moderate Republican leader)? He is pretty good, but he has lost to Roosevelt once."

Evan shut up and didn't interrupt.

He didn't know whether his governor's father had the interest and ambition to participate in the election, and he didn't remember who had been the US president very clearly. However, Evan remembered the successful re-election of the current President Truman.

After calculating the shortcomings of multiple potential candidates, Alan Sproul concluded: "So, if your father comes, the chances of winning are quite good!"

Evan nodded and agreed, but he didn't agree.

Of course Evan would convey his words to his father. His opinions were insignificant if they could not run for election, and Earl Warren's ideas and wishes were the key.

However, Evan was still a little hesitant, whether to remind the Republicans who did not take the Democratic Party and Truman seriously at all at this time.
