Chapter 34 Christmas

School started shortly after returning to Dallas. Locke's life was step by step. He had already started to study college subjects by himself, including mathematics and physics, chemistry, cardiobiology, psychology, etc.

He will not study the following subjects specifically when he is in college in the future. He has decided to focus on mathematics and physics in college.

Learning these is mainly to enrich one's own knowledge reserves. With Locke's current IQ, even if no one is instructed, as long as he reads enough books, the knowledge he has will not be worse than that of those doctoral students in specialties, or even more than that.

Locke participated in the school baseball team every time, but he was rejected in ordinary training. With him as a pitcher, the school baseball team also became famous in Texas, and even many professional baseball teams came to invite him to join.

Locke turned down all these invitations, after all, the route he arranged for himself was not to become a sports star.

The Mathematical Olympiad competition this year was held in Los Angeles. Like last year, the team led by Locke won the championship medal at one time. After the competition, Locke did not follow the school team back to Dallas, intending to stay in Los Angeles for a few more days while Christmas is approaching.

The person who invited Rock to stay was Jennifer, who went to college in Los Angeles. After hearing that Rocket came to Los Angeles, he invited Rockets to take the Rockets together.

The Christmas holidays in the United States vary slightly from state to state, but most of them are held from December 22 to January 5, and many people like to take annual leave together.

Locke has lived at Jennifer's house these days. Through her senior sister's introduction, she found an internship job in a company in Los Angeles, and her income is much better than working in a restaurant.

"I changed my recipe and today is my exclusive Honey Roasted Chicken."

Jennifer rolled her eyes. Locke has been tormenting her every day these days, which made her legs a little weak when she went to the internship company every morning. Many colleagues thought she was too tired, but her face turned rosy and had a good complexion.

"How do you think the roast chicken I made yesterday?"

“Is there any good performance I did at night?”

After Jennifer finished eating, she complained in front of Rock that the cooking was so delicious that it would not take long for her to get fat.

Locke, who has more than half of his intermediate cooking experience, commented on his craftsmanship and was not particularly satisfied.

"Well, the taste is OK, but the chicken breasts are still a little bit burned here. Don't make them together next time. The requirements for the temperature and technology are too high."

After opening his mouth, Locke did not say anything to help her pay the tuition fee. There are still some taboos in this topic, especially among friends. If Jennifer doesn't speak, and Locke takes the initiative to mention it, it will likely hurt Jennifer's relationship.

Recalling the taste of yesterday's roasted chicken, Jennifer nodded repeatedly: "It's delicious, we still eat this today?"

Most of the young people of this age have uncertain minds. After listening to Jennifer's narration, Locke did not comment much. In fact, in his opinion, with Jennifer's mathematical talent, he probably wouldn't be able to become an elite in finance in his life.

Speaking of this, Jennifer's mood finally improved. After living with Locke these days, she has seen Locke's cooking skills, which are much better than what she does herself, especially many of the special practices in the Eastern Kingdoms.

After taking a look at Jennifer, who was paying attention to the boring soap opera on TV, Lock thought to himself that I would pull you to exercise, which would definitely allow you to consume all the calories you eat.

At this time, he could only smile, get up from the sofa and rub her head: "Okay, can you eat?"

Watching the performance on TV, Jennifer suddenly sighed. In fact, she had thought about being a star before, and she was also confident that her appearance and figure were stronger than those on TV.

"But I think what I did yesterday was great!"

Locke had considered taking the financial route before, and was not unfamiliar with it. He just put forward some suggestions based on his own knowledge.

It doesn’t matter, I can do it with Locke. You should also pay more attention to your health when working, so don’t be too rushing..."

Locke’s so-called exclusive honey roast chicken is actually a chicken made with char siu sauce. The sweet aroma of the bright red roast chicken is definitely drooling.

Jennifer ignored him and chewed his legs with a pistol. He ate one-third of the amount by one person. Compared with her previous appetite, she had exceeded the standard.

Jennifer nodded: "Yes, the money is not for nothing. Amy's father only helped me pay the tuition for one year, and I have to find a way for the tuition for the second year."

Jennifer's father originally promised to come and spend Christmas with her, but he didn't expect to receive a job that was a job that was urgent for an old customer and he also added three times the price, so he had to break the appointment.

When Locke brought out the baked chicken with honey, Jennifer swallowed wildly, the sweet fragrance mixed with the aroma of meat, which was so wonderful.

For the convenience of work and life, Jennifer rented a single apartment near the school. Locke has lived here for the past few days until Christmas.

But recently she was intern in the company and she met a senior female supervisor in the company. The other party seemed to take care of her, so she wondered if she could also do the finance industry.

"I got it, Dad, Locke happened to come to Los Angeles to participate in the competition. I invited him to stay for a few days with me. Do you still have four days left? Sure enough, it's not as good as Christmas Eve.

However, she is still young and wants to try this path, but no one can stop it. He is not qualified to point fingers at this topic involving life choices and future planning. At most, he can make suggestions.

When Jennifer hung up the phone, Rock said, "He's coming next week?"

Disappointed, Jennifer invited Rock to stay in Los Angeles for Christmas with her.

She is thousands of miles apart from her family, she is busy with her studies, and her internship salary is good, which is also related to the company's evaluation. She wants to take the opportunity to establish a good relationship and have the opportunity to join the company after graduation, so she has no choice but to return to Texas.

After hearing Locke's words, Jennifer realized that it was not easy to walk this path. After thinking about it, he was unwilling to give up, so he could only put it aside first and said:

"By the way, the company is going to hold an internal company cocktail party on Christmas Eve. I will attend it at that time. Do you want to come and see it?"

"No problem." Locke agreed immediately. He guessed that Jennifer, as an intern, could not be officially invited. In the past, he was mostly responsible for serving plates and delivering wine.

He didn't say this, and he hadn't seen Jennifer for several months. Since Jennifer and the others graduated, Rock changed two more girls as friends to play with them in his spare time, but they were still a little worse than Jennifer.

I haven't seen each other for a while, and Locke still misses him very much, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in Los Angeles.
