Chapter 55: The Internet Upstart
Hanging up the phone, Ivy glanced at the time on her phone, it was less than seven o'clock. What's going on, rushing back to the stage for a meeting so early?, she muttered to herself.
Suddenly, a gust of wind creaked the bedroom window.
Ivy walked to the window and pushed it open with great difficulty. The rain swept against her, and she stumbled backwards and nearly fell to the ground.
She stood firm against the window frame, gazing at the sky in the distance. The black clouds obscured the sky and the sun, and the wind roared and rolled with the momentum of sweeping everything, tearing at the originally calm sky and earth.
When the mobile phone "dings", it is the news pushed in real time. She clicked on it and took a look: Zhuhai and Macao may usher in the strongest typhoon in 20 years today, and the maximum wind force near the center will reach 16.
Owen is really a god, and sure enough, as he expected, the typhoon came.
Ivy blinked in disbelief, a wave of ecstasy in her heart. As a journalist, I will have a little bit of a little evil that I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic. She leaned out excitedly, letting the wind and rain blow on her face, feeling crispy and numb.
Oh yes, there's a meeting in half an hour. Ivy stepped back and closed the window. It must be difficult to take a taxi in this bad weather, so she changed her clothes in three or two, briefly freshened up, picked up her backpack and went downstairs.
The roads are so empty that it's hard to see a private car, let alone a taxi. The taxi app on her phone kept calling, but more than five minutes passed, and no car responded to her.
Ivy stood on the side of the road with an umbrella, a large section of her jeans soaking wet.
A gust of wind blew the umbrella in her hand upward, like a red tulip. "Ahh
Without the shelter of an umbrella, the wind and rain swept towards her. Ivy fiddled with the umbrella in her hand, trying to restore it to its original state. But the wind was so strong that the deformed umbrella did not obey the call, and the umbrella bones were propped upwards horizontally or vertically.
"Boom-" The roar of the car engine came from far and near, and at first glance I thought it was thunder in the sky. A silver-gray sports car "squeaked" next to her, and at the same time "beeped" twice the horn sounded.
Ivy took two steps back for no apparent reason.
The passenger window was lowered, and a voice yelled at her, "Get in the car!"
It was a familiar voice, and Ivy bent down and looked into the car, it was Owen. Without thinking much about it, she quickly pulled the car door open and hid in the car.
As soon as you get on the bus, the familiar smell comes to your nose, strong and deep.
Owen wore a lotus-colored shirt with a dark gray tie and bangs hanging down from his forehead. He didn't rush to start the car, and handed her a box of tissues first.
Ivy looked a little embarrassed, her face was full of water droplets, and her wet hair was stuck to her forehead one by one. The umbrellas were scrapped, and the clothes and backpacks were soaked.
"Why are you here?" she asked, wiping her face with a tissue.
"Isn't there a morning meeting today? It's not good to take a taxi in this kind of weather, so I'll stop by to pick you up. ”
"You really have a heart. By the way, last night......"
Before she could finish her sentence, Owen preemptively replied, "I asked my female assistant to take you home last night." Rest assured, she did things properly. ”
"Do you have a female assistant?" Ivy looked at him suspiciously.
Everything about Owen is suspicious. He has a great IQ, and he is very quaint and eccentric. And now there's a female assistant popping up again?
Ivy asked bluntly, "What the hell do you do? Why did you come to TV as an intern? Is there an ulterior motive? Hurry up and be honest." ”
Owen rested his elbows on the steering wheel, turned sideways to face her, his expression unwavering, and asked as if he had already prepared, "What do you think?"
"......" she blinked for a moment.
He chuckled, bared his white teeth, and said unhurriedly: "I run an Internet company, headquartered in Silicon Valley, USA, and the company's business includes video websites, games, and mobile apps. Recently, the company is building an all-media platform, and plans to acquire a Chinese TV station in the United States to cooperate with the new e-commerce website. So I came to China to learn about the operation of the news channel, and then I will go to the entertainment and financial channel later. ”
Ivy stared at Owen with her mouth half-open, as if she were looking at some rare animal. It turned out that he was the legendary "Internet upstart".
Silicon Valley in the United States, she couldn't help but admire in her heart. Since the 60s of the last century, there have been many successful young tycoons there. They are young, bold and ambitious, using the most avant-garde technology and advanced leadership to turn ideas into reality.
"That'...... I wish your TV station ratings Changhong, hehe. "The director of a TV station is his own intern, and the gap is too big. She instantly shortened in momentum, and complimented with a smile on her face.
Owen deliberately strengthened his tone and asked casually, "Teacher Ai, are there any other questions?"
