When Leona Oliver walked into the living room of this house, he immediately let out his first exclamation: "It's really not what I imagined, Alice, do you know what I'm talking about?"

Behind her, the photographer Kariel was busy moving his equipment to the hallway. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Oh, I want to hear about it. ”

The living room had long been cleaned, and through the bright windows, Alice could see directly the interview car parked on the street. Of course, this was a magazine interview and not a TV media, so the guy named Karle didn't stupidly come in with a camera, but was preparing the usual equipment such as a visor and a camera.

"It's completely no different from a normal family!"

Leonard wore a red Chanel suit, which she had prepared especially for today, for which she even owed a loan of five thousand dollars. Not only the clothes, but the smell of Chanel No. 5 was so strong that even Oscar Wang, who was standing at the top of the stairs, frowned, but now it seemed that he was clearly out of step with his surroundings.

"I thought that if you didn't buy a mansion in Beverly Hills, you should live in a very gorgeous house. It's like...... It's like House Seven when we first entered Vinton Street!"

As she spoke, Leoner also looked at the sofa in the living room with interest, and she could tell at a glance that this was by no means a high-end product worth tens of thousands, but just a common color in the furniture section of Walmart supermarket.

"Well~ I'm sorry to disappoint you. ”

Alice sat down on the sofa first, and said to Oscar, who was watching the excitement not far away, "Man, pour a cup of tea for the big beauty reporter?"

Oscar nodded honestly and said, "Wait." Oh, Miss Oliver, what brand do you want?"

"Nestle is fine, thank you. ”

Leona nodded to the boy, and at the same time, Alice's parents were also ready in their respective places, in fact, they were next to their daughter.

Seeing this, Leonard put on his classic Louis Vuitton bag with one hand and asked expectantly: "Then Mr. and Mrs. Wang, as well as Alice, since everyone is due, let's start the interview, okay?"

As early as this morning, James specially wore a well-textured sweater, and sprayed a little cologne on his body politely, looking extremely energetic. Seeing Leonar's gaze on her husband, Sophie even felt a little surprised, and immediately answered: "Of course it's no problem, Miss Oliver, let's start now." ”

Fortune Magazine, a subsidiary of Time Warner Inc., is a company with Time Magazine and Celebrity, and its headquarters are located in the "Time-Life Building" on Sixth Avenue in New York. It can be said that this is almost a "famous magazine building", and Fortune occupies the fifteenth and sixteenth floors of the building, with the upper floor being the editorial department and the lower floor being mainly the business department.

For a magazine that only publishes an issue every other week, the team size of 150 people in the editorial department and 150 people in the operation department can be said to be quite large. The least Alice knows is that there is a fairly senior editor named Carol Rumes, an elderly woman who is already sixty years old, and she writes all the major financial articles of Fortune herself.

Although she was not so arrogant as to have to interview Ms. Derumes, the current situation still made Alice a little puzzled: "Wait a minute, Miss Oliver, allow me to ask a question first." ”

When Oscar honestly brought the tea to Leonar, she said, "Why did Fortune choose my living room as the interview location?

Alice's subtext is undoubtedly why she was not invited to the "Time-Life" building, after all, for most people, traveling thousands of miles to that building for interviews is a very important part of their personal career achievements.

"Ah, because a lot of readers want more...... Get to know you in depth. ”

Leonar may have understood Alice's subtext, or perhaps he simply followed the topic: "Because for most readers, your accomplishments are certainly curious, but your age is even more curious." ”

"It makes sense. ”

Muttering, Alice nodded, "Then please start." ”

"Okay, so let me start by asking, Alice, and that's a question that a lot of people around the world are very curious about, and that is, why are you ...... So talented?"

This question made everyone in the room laugh, and the photographer Karle pressed the shutter just right, and was the first to capture Alice smiling.

In fact, related topics, which have been asked earlier in "The Tonight Show" and "Time", are IQ and learning speed, as well as the ability to touch and analyze in depth. ”

This topic is indeed a bit cliché, so Leonar didn't even record it, and then asked: "Except for film directors and best-selling authors, you are known to the outside world as a shareholder of Microsoft, a developer, the founder of Cisco, and the pioneer of Internet hardware products such as routers and switches." Both of these identities were announced at Microsoft's post-IPO press conference, so what I want to ask now is, did you have any achievements before this?"

The question was indeed to the point, and both James and Sophie nodded in satisfaction. Indeed, when a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl suddenly reveals such an amazing achievement to the public, many people will indeed wonder what else she has done before.

Alice thought for a moment and said, "The first thing to note is that when I developed the router, I was only twelve years old after all. So, I'm hoping that the otaku who had been a Bond girl before that time were going to be disappointed. ”

These words were said lightly.

Then, there was a moment of silence.

“…… Poofha!"

Photographer Callie was the first to laugh, Leonar looked stunned, Sophie also pursed her lips, and James's whole body softened. At this moment, a red-haired figure had just walked into the hallway, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" The interview has begun? What are you laughing at?"

Sophie was so happy that she turned around and beckoned, "Hannah, come here." ”

"I said Alice, it's a very formal interview, can you stop talking nonsense?"

“what～？”

Alice gave Oscar a blank look, and when Hannah sat on the armrest of the sofa obediently, Leonard finally came to his senses, first wrote down such a comment as "humorous and funny" in his notebook, and said with a smile: "That's right, Alice is right, Bond girls are indeed not ordinary elementary school girls." So, Alice......

"It's just stock trading. ”

She replied in a serious manner: "For example, we bought $20,000 of Apple's stock on the day it went public, and that amount is now in the millions." ”

"So powerful!?"

Leonar was amazed, but didn't rush to write anything, but asked: "So this is your suggestion?" But this kind of thing often requires a lot of principal, and Mr. and Ms. Wang allow you to use so much money?"

James and Sophie smiled slightly, and Alice replied very calmly: "Well, it depends on the composition of my family." ”

Leonar was immediately prepared to take serious notes.

"My father is a professor of history at UCLA, and he just got married to his mother, so it's okay to earn 100,000 yuan a year, right?"

"And then, hehe, Sophie is amazing. She is a practicing lawyer with a Ph.D. in law from Harvard University, and she also has a British Chartered Certified Accountant and an American Certified Public Accountant certificate.

"Oh, that's right, Dad, why did you chase down your mother in the first place? Or two years, teach Oscar a few hands?"

"Ahh

"Oh, yes, yes~"

Well, what I said about this, not mentioning what the reaction of Oscar and Hannah was, anyway, it made the couple a little shy. Lo and behold, James looked at Sophie with a stupid smile, and Sophie quickly turned her head aside, almost like a boy and girl who had returned to puberty. Click, click, cameraman Calle seized the opportunity, and another set of precious historical moments was born.

"I see, it seems that it is not simple. ”

Leonar, of course, was even more surprised, but curiosity and wonder naturally came to her mind even more, as she had done when she first entered the room, and she looked at the layout of the room.

"Then I'm even more curious, I'm afraid this question will be left to Mr. and Mrs. Wang, since you were a typical successful person when you got married, why do you still live in ...... What about in such an ordinary house?"

There is no doubt that Culver City's Wynton Street is the quintessential middle-class residential area, where the lower middle class is concentrated. Lawyers and doctors, who have just taken office and earn more than 100,000 yuan a year, may not be able to count a mile in a circle.

"Probably because I'm Chinese, and Sophie agrees with my lifestyle. ”

James said flatly: "We Chinese have an old saying, that is, don't show off your wealth. Like some so-called 'authentic Americans', receiving a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, but relying on a lot of debt to buy a 400,000 yuan Lamborghini to enjoy it, is not our way of life. ”

"Of course, a luxury home will be comfortable, but it also has to match the identity and actual needs. My three children are just starting secondary school now, and if they make a little fortune, they will enjoy it to the fullest. Miss Oliver, I don't think that's a good effect for the kids, right?" )
