"My original intention in doing this is to help women solve the employment dilemma, women and mothers are undoubtedly the most respectable people in the world, and I am willing to ...... I beg ...... I'm longing for ...... I am eager to work with all of you who are committed to women's equality and contribute to this great social cause, because women are not appendages of men, not prisoners who can only be imprisoned by the family. Tommy sat at his desk, reading the speech he had prepared for Renee, revising it from time to time to make it sound more sincere.

Holly was playing with her guitar and her eyes were looking at the focused Tommy Hawke, "You're starting to date Renee?" ”

"That's right, after all, under the pressure of studies and entrepreneurship, I always have to find a woman who is willing to help me relax." Tommy didn't look up and said, "Reni thinks I'm pretty good, too, so, sort of." ”

Holly made a disgusted expression, and then asked, "Why didn't you date me, I'm not jealous of Renee, I'm just curious, women always have all kinds of curiosity." ”

Tommy put down the speech and looked at Holly: "Because you are smarter than Renee, it is very troublesome to find a smart girl to be a girlfriend, it is good to be like Reni, for example, she is willing to believe that I am really promoting women's employment, and the perfect girlfriend in my eyes is a well-educated, well-educated girl with a good family life, silly, but beautiful enough, and at the same time a little vain, provide her with enough material comforts, she can be a canary with peace of mind, and her tolerance for her partner will be very high, For example, I gave Reni a necklace worth 500 yuan, and she has worn more than a dozen ** underwear to show me so far. ”

"So I'm glad I'm not a stupid girl?" Holly said sarcastically to Tommy:

"Don't instill in me this kind of macho favorite traditional female thoughts, let's change the topic, Professor Mason of the Entrepreneurship Center is very satisfied with your software, he often needs to deal with various forms, and the automatic calculation and filling function of that software has saved him a lot of energy, he said that if he has time, he is willing to talk to you and hold a small hearing to listen to your ideas, but for software development, even if they discuss and approve it, they only provide a maximum of 50,000 yuan of entrepreneurial capital support, unlike hardware research and development, You can get 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of support at every turn, so I'm going to ask you if you have time. ”

After reading the speech, Tommy looked up at Holly: "And when I saw you, I wanted to ask you, can you find a few peers to form a campus organization for women's equal rights?" ”

"There are dozens or hundreds of women's organizations in Stanford, why do you insist that I start another one?" Holly asked, a little puzzled, "Isn't Reni applying to join one?" ”

The relationship between her and Tommy is a little strange, more like a friend with a relationship on a layered bed, this bastard every time she is with Reni, she will coax each other to be happy with all kinds of sweet words, and when facing herself, she has never said anything to herself, let herself help, and will only say that the company will share her share of the money it earns, so that she can become a rich woman who changes the cowherd every night, but I have to say that this sentence is more attractive to her than love words.

"To get our money back, of course, miss." Tommy looked at Holly: "Talking about cooperation with the women's organization that Reni joined, the other party will definitely ask me to donate some of the money I earn to the women's organization, but he will hypocritically say that he will not force me to donate to them, and I can also donate to other women's organizations, but I must meet the donation number, so I choose to listen to their hypocritical advice and donate the money to the similar organization you established, and then you use the excuse of various costs and expenses to transfer the money I donated, understand, our money." ”

"That's what you learned in computer science at Stanford?" Holly gave Tommy a blank look: "You don't even have to be stingy with donations?" ”

"Hey, I'll definitely donate, how you spend that money is the decision of the women's organization, it has nothing to do with me, maybe the female friends in the organization need the cowherd, and I just have a job because of lack of money." Tommy stood up, moved his body, and said with a smile.

Holly shrugged her shoulders and asked Tommy, "A smart woman isn't a good fit to be a girlfriend, but at least you can go to dinner with her?" ”

"I don't have time tonight, let's do it another day." Tommy was reminded by Holly's words, glanced at the time on the alarm clock, and immediately went to get his coat:

"Tonight Eric and Charles introduced SSD alumni who work nearby to me, and we were going to have a game, and if I lost, I would strip my shirt and write on my chest that I love Seymour Rubinstein (founder of WordStar) to take a picture, and then send it to Rubinstein, saying that I was a and had loved him for a long time."

"What if I win?" Holly asked curiously.

Tommy winked at her, "You won't like it, it's boring." ”

"What else could it be other than pushing your plan to take over Silicon Valley." Holly rolled her eyes, as if she knew what Tommy would gain, and she said, "Oh my God, using call girls to occupy Silicon Valley, the holy land of Stanford's hearts, is even more terrifying, I am still an accomplice, and I will be nailed to the pillar of shame of school history and hated by those who come after me forever." ”

……

At the fraternity house, Tommy shook hands with the alumni in the suits and scum on the other side shook hands and hugged each other in a familiar gesture before Charles introduced to the two:

"James Dunn, Symantec's No. 1 employee, double major in linguistics and computer science, a fool* who is forever nailed to the SSD pillar of shame, Tommy Hawke, our good lad, brought us the championship of ping pong vodka."

"I've seen your photo, posted in the honor room, you won the runner-up in the Oktoberfest competition, the SSD brothers in order to thank you for losing the championship for seven consecutive years, every day your photo is full of ***, before when I was cleaning, I often have to wipe your photos several times a day to keep it tidy." Tommy said to James Dunn with a smile.

Symantec, a well-known name in the antivirus software industry, was only established last year, and the research and development direction is artificial intelligence and database management, Tommy also just knew that Symantec was not ready to develop computer security software at all when it was founded, but used the gimmick of artificial intelligence, and just got a large investment from the foundation of the US government, James Dunn, is the old bird who wants to propose to sell the software to his boss and help Tommy make a fortune.

Hearing Tommy's words, James, who was dressed like a gentleman in a suit, gave Charles, Eric and others a vulgar gesture of his middle finger.

"No thanks, James, you deserve it, Oktoberfest was originally our advantage project, you stupid* but it was snatched away, so I told myself and my brothers to help you paint a ** on your face every day before going to bed to remind yourself never to fail." Charles saw the other party's raised middle finger and said without guilt

"This is Tom Prox, an electrical engineering major, who, like James, only graduated from Stanford last year and was our treasurer before graduating, but now it looks like he's going to be a homeless man." Eric laughs as Tommy introduces another fraternity alumni.

Compared with James in a suit and leather shoes, Tom is a little unkempt, his beard is half an inch long and untrimmed, and he looks like a tramp in gray T-shirt, shorts and slippers.

"My company is in the garage next to the university, and it's just me and another founder and two employees, and the software is still in the development stage, so I don't need to dress up to meet people, so it looks a little ...... Plain, not to mention seeing you guys, it's not worth me to wear a suit. After Tom and Tommy hugged for a while, he introduced himself to Tommy: "Your software is good, I just tried it, and it is very efficient, but I prefer the test feedback you made for this software, which can find all kinds of problems in time before the official sale, this kind of test is necessary, and I am ready to use this trial test feedback mode on our software." ”

"OK, our New Maggot & Old Bird Challenge is about to start, the contestants are Champion Tommy and Silly TJames, the referee is Tom, better hurry up and finish, we have to go to dinner." Charles walked up to the two IBM computers that had been prepared a long time ago, and smiled at the dozen or so people present:

"SSD-2 and WordStar comparative test,Officially started,The rules are as follows,Three pages of carefully selected text,There are bold,Italic,Footnotes and other text formats,At the same time, use two software to enter three pages of text into the computer document,The fastest,The one with the least error wins,You can choose your own supporters,Brothers。

James didn't get the support of even one person, and everyone stood behind Tommy, which made James scold unhappily: "It's just a runner-up, you bastards still can't forget it?" ”

There was no suspense in this kind of competition, when James only completed two-thirds of the work with WordStar, Tommy had already done three pages of text entry with SSD-2, and when he finally checked, only two words were typed wrong, and the text formatting requirements on the three pages were all completed, and Tom confirmed that Tommy Hawk had won and James continued to be his runner-up.

"Well done, boy." James was not depressed when he learned that Tommy was finished, but came over in surprise and looked at Tommy's computer interface: "The efficiency is amazing, I always thought that you just copied a random software to change the appearance, so I also wanted to help you sell it to make a small profit, but now I think you are right, my boss is not worthy of it, you should start your own company and sell it like Tom founded Intuit, and try to make more money." ”

Tommy was stunned for a moment and looked at Tom next to him, "Intuit? Is your company name Intuit? ”

"What's the problem?" Tom asked Tommy's question, a little puzzled.

"No, I just think it's a great name." Tommy said to Tom, "If I make money, I will definitely invest in your company." ”

Tom thought Tommy was joking, so he didn't refuse: "Welcome, no refusal, it's really a pain to start a small company to develop large-scale commercial software independently, the only two employees in the company haven't been paid for nine months, if they weren't the girlfriends of the two of us, they would have taken us to court a long time ago, and the damn garage rent is getting higher and higher, if you want to invest, you'd better hurry, I don't know when the company will close." ”

Tommy knows that Intuit's closure will not happen, because in the United States in 2022, the accountant of any company will use the financial management software developed by this company, and any American has a personal finance app of this company on his mobile phone.

"By agreement, James, after you lose, promise to introduce Symantec's HR director to me and my girlfriend, so that we can have the opportunity to sell him software and call girls on the grounds of supporting women's employment, right?" Tommy remembered the name Intuit and continued to speak to James.

James frowned: "I don't think the latter is included, I remember. ”

Tommy patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, the latter can be regarded as a bonus company benefit, to help you solve the problem of programmers venting their stress and need to take time off, working hours can solve this problem that bothers them, and it can also be regarded as improving Symantec's work efficiency, no thanks." ”
