Chapter 14 Falling Flowers Intentionally Follow the Flowing Water, and Flowing Water Loves Falling Flowers Unintentionally
"The Devotion of Suspect X" has unexpectedly become popular in Taiwan, especially among students, and many students come to Life magazine after school every day to ask about the plot behind the novel. Of course, the more he sold, the greater Li Zetian's income, because for every copy www.biquge.info of Life magazine sold, he could get NT$2.
With the release of the second issue of the magazine, "The Devotion of Suspect X" became even more popular.
For a time, Life magazine was in full swing.
It can be said that in order to obtain the traditional publishing rights of the entire novel, Taiwan's major publishers have almost broken through the door of Life magazine. Even film companies have come to the door to get the film adaptation rights of the novel. Li Chengzhi called his son to ask for his opinion, and Li Zetian said that after waiting for a while, "The Devotion of Suspect X" will definitely become more and more popular, and then negotiate with publishers and film companies. On my side, I am waiting for the price to sell, not in a hurry!
At the same time, Li Zetian began to write his second novel, "White Night Walking", which is also a classic of RB mystery novel master Keigo Higashino. After writing "The Devotion of Suspect X", Li Zetian has become handy for the adaptation of the novel. Not only did he have to write the essence of the original, but he also had to be different and add his own ideas to make the story more exciting. Of course, Li Zetian admits that it is indeed not easy to do this.
Li Zetian went to the store and spent $500 to buy a 1200-type computer developed by Wang An Computer Company in 1971.
At this time, the United States is facing an economic transformation, the proportion of the tertiary industry is rising, the number of office white-collar workers has increased significantly, and the existing office equipment has not kept up. Wang An aimed at this opportunity, concentrated scientific research and funding, and developed office systems. Previously, this was IBM's exclusive domain. In 1971, when Wang An Computer Company launched the 1200 computer, it was reported that Thomas Watson, Jr., the chairman of IBM, who was hospitalized for myocardial infarction, was furious after seeing the news in the newspaper and scolded the assistant for not reporting the relevant information in advance.
At the end of November, "The Devotion of Suspect X" was serialized in "Life" magazine, with a total sales of nearly 600,000 copies, and Li Zetian earned 1.2 million Taiwan dollars, which was converted into US dollars at the exchange rate at the time, almost 30,000 US dollars!
Now Li Zetian can be regarded as a small asset, and the heart of entrepreneurship is ready to move!
……
……
Christmas is just around the corner, and every Harvard college has a Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve, which is a very big and formal event, and most of the students in the college will attend the dinner.
Although Li Zetian is usually very homely, he still attended such a grand Christmas dinner.
The Christmas dinner was bustling, with a lot of food and drink, but Li Zetian was not very good at socializing and did not make many friends in the music department. So, he probably brought a mouth with him to eat......
It's delicious!
However, after a few minutes, when he looked up, he suddenly saw the girl Chen Ruoxi at the opening party, at this moment, she was standing next to a Christmas tree full of colorful lights not far away drinking, and there was no one else around!
Opportunity!!!
Li Zetian's heart moved, his spirit instantly became excited, and he picked up a glass of wine on the table and drank it all.
As the saying goes, "wine can strengthen courage", after a glass of wine, Li Zetian went out and decided to come forward to greet her.
He quickly walked up to her, "Hey, hello, do you still know me?"
"Hello, may I ask ...... you?"
"You don't remember me?"
"I seem to be a little impressed, but I can't remember it. ”
"Didn't you fall down the stairs at the freshman orientation party, and I caught you. ”
"Oh, it was you, I remembered. ”
"Hello, let me introduce myself officially, my name is Li Zetian, and my English name is Chronos· Lee。 ”
"Nice to meet you, my name is Chen Ruoxi!"
"Well, I'm glad to meet you too......"
After introducing himself, Li Zetian, who was the first brother in love, suddenly didn't know what to say, he had never learned the skills of flirting with girls, and he had no talent in this area. On the contrary, the more nervous I was, the more I couldn't speak.
Ice.
Embarrassed.
And Chen Ruoxi obviously knew Li Zetian's intention to come over to greet her. If it's a boy she likes, she'll take the initiative to talk to him, but if it's not a boy she likes, she'll not bother to speak. Otherwise, just deal with it. Li Zetian is thin and thin, not tall, not the sunny and handsome boy she likes.
After Li Zetian held back for a long time, he finally spoke again.
However, they all said some unnutritious words, such as "Tonight's party is really lively!", "Are you a sophomore music student?", "Are you an American immigrant?", "What do your parents do", etc., Li Zetian didn't know why he said these words, thinking that he was investigating the household registration.
Chen Ruoxi responded to Li Zetian's words without a match, from the other party's conversation, Chen Ruoxi thought that Li Zetian was a boring and boring person, but she didn't know that Li Zetian was like this because she was nervous, and she usually talked about computers and the economy with Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, DEC executives and others, which was eloquent and admirable!
For Li Zetian, maybe it is better for him to give a business speech in front of all the teachers and students than to speak in front of a girl he likes.
At this moment, Li Zetian felt so embarrassed.
Falling flowers are intentionally ruthless, and flowing water is unintentionally in love with falling flowers.
He is not stupid, and from the other party's attitude, he can clearly feel that Chen Ruoxi is not interesting to him.
"Who didn't have a crush when they were young! Perhaps, the other half who really belongs to him is still waiting for him in the future!" Li Zetian comforted himself in his heart.
Immediately, Li Zetian said goodbye to Chen Ruoxi.
As soon as Li Zetian left, Wang An's son Wang Lie came to Chen Ruoxi's side, and couldn't help frowning and asking, "Ruoxi, who is that man?"
"Just a friend. ”
"Friend, I don't think so, I think that kid clearly wants to pursue you!"
"What's the matter?
"Ruoxi, don't make trouble, you're my girlfriend, how can I ignore it?"
"I've already broken up with you!"
"Ruoxi, I know you're angry! Didn't I already promise you that I wouldn't make any more mistakes, what else do you want from me?!"
Chen Ruoxi didn't speak, turned around and left.
Wang Lie had a gloomy face, and said to several companions behind him: "Hurry up and investigate that man, and teach him a lesson by the way, so that he will not appear in front of Ruoxi in the future!"
"Hehe, don't worry, he will never dare to appear in front of Miss Ruoxi next time!" said a tall man.
"Hmm!"
Chen Ruoxi returned to his sister group, talking and laughing, as if what happened just now had not happened at all.
"Ruoxi is different, there are people chasing him everywhere he goes! Who is that man?" everyone quipped,
Chen Ruoxi replied with a smile: "His name is Li Zetian, he is from China, he should be a freshman in the music department, and I don't know much about him." ”
"I don't understand it now, but I can slowly understand it in the future! How about it, Ruoxi, have you taken a fancy to him?"
"If you want to give it to you, I can't take a fancy to it anyway!"
"Of course you don't like it, the heir of Wang An's computer company is much stronger than a poor boy! Anyway, why don't you forgive Wang Lie, don't you worry, others have snatched him away?"
"Look at his performance on my birthday next week, if he behaves well, I'll forgive him!"
"Alas, poor Li Zetian is destined to not be able to hold the beauty, giggle......" everyone laughed.
"I think that Li Zetian is actually quite good!" said one of Chen Ruoxi's sisters.
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other in surprise.
"Yu Jingqiu, you can't be mistaken...... Do you think he's better than Wang Lie?"
"Wang Lie's family background is indeed very strong, if you exclude their family background, I don't think Wang Lie can be compared with Li Zetian at all!" At this time, a girl stood up from the table and chair, and then said lightly, and her appearance was not weaker than Chen Ruoxi, with long hair fluttering, white skin and beautiful appearance, slender figure, graceful and graceful, and she also had a temperament full of knowledge and wisdom!
