Jerry Philemon and Li Zetian continued chatting for a while, feeling more and more that Li Zetian was a rare talent, especially in computer programming, possessing extraordinary insight and vision.
He secretly made up his mind that once he graduated, no matter what, he had to pull him into DEC.
Seeing Li Zetian hadn’t come out for a long time, Bill Gates couldn’t help feeling surprised, “It can’t be, Li’s programming ability is not weaker than mine!”
At this time, Li Zetian finally came out.
“How was it, you passed, right?”
“Of course!” Li Zetian smiled.
“I knew you passed.
Oh, by the way, how much time did you take to do that programming problem?” Bill Gates, who was highly competitive, finally couldn’t help asking.
Li Zetian smiled and said: “Just a little bit faster than you, 4 minutes and 21 seconds!”
Hearing this, Bill Gates froze.
I took 6 minutes and 05 seconds, and Li Zetian only took 4 minutes and 21 seconds, and this is just a little bit faster????
Bill Gates was crestfallen.
There is no harm without comparison.
If he had known, he wouldn’t have asked.
Li Zetian glanced at Bill Gates and smiled inwardly: “Bill Gates is an incomparably proud guy, but as long as I surpass him in all his strong points, he will gradually regard me as an insurmountable existence.
In the future when Microsoft is founded, he won’t even support the wall, he’ll only support me!
Hehe…”
…
Since applying to be a computer engineer at DEC, Li Zetian became even busier, frequently staying up late in the computer room.
At the same time, through an intermediary company, he had someone register an empty shell overseas offshore company for himself.
The name was “Zhetian Company”, named after his past life name Li Zhetian.
However, this was only the Chinese name.
Overseas registrations must all be English company names.
The English name of Zhetian Company was called Umbrella, or it could be translated as Protection Umbrella Company!!!
Although the company was currently an empty shell, Li Zetian believed that in the near future, this company would become the most terrifying existence!
In addition, he decided to give himself an English name to facilitate dealing with foreigners.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do…
This English name was Chronos Li.
Of course, the name Chronos actually had quite a background!
He was a super-primordial god in ancient Greek mythology, first representing the first cause that transcended everything, and also representing time.
His power was unique, above all things, existing before the beginning, and creating everything.
It had a unique feeling, and it wasn’t awkward to pronounce.
Importantly, Chronos was the god of time, and Li Zetian being able to travel through space-time and return to 1973 must have some connection with time.
…
Harvard University dormitory.
When Li Zetian told Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer that he had taken an English name, Bill Gates immediately clapped and praised: “Li, it’s really great that you can take an English name.
Chronos Li is much better than the previous Zetian Li.
Especially the Chinese word Zetian, I always mispronounce it!”
Steve Ballmer also nodded in agreement: “Haha, I also support this name!”
Li Zetian smiled faintly.
It seemed taking an English name was still very necessary.
After a while, Li Zetian made a phone call to his parents far away in Taiwan.
It was his father Li Chengzhi who answered the phone.
“Dad, are you and Mom both in good health?”
“We’re doing great!”
“How are the preparations for ‘Life’ magazine?
It’s October 26th now, and it will be published on November 1st.
There are only a few days left!”
“Rest assured, everything is ready!”
“Mhm, that’s good.
There’s also another thing I want to talk to you about!”
“Speak, what is it?”
“I established a company myself and plan to independently operate the copyright of ‘The Devotion of Suspect X’.
After all, ‘Life’ magazine is not our own property.
Although granduncle agreed to let you manage it, once granduncle passes away, will his descendants still safely leave ‘Life’ magazine in your hands?
Doesn’t the saying go, first generation relatives, second generation cousins, third generation scattered…
What’s more, we have always lived in the mainland, and they live in Taiwan.
We haven’t visited each other before…”
Li Chengzhi instantly fell silent.
After a long while, he sighed slightly and said: “Mhm, I understand!”
The copyright of “The Devotion of Suspect X” belonged to Li Zetian.
He only authorized the publication rights to “Life” magazine; as for other copyrights, such as book publishing, electronic copyright, film and television adaptation, etc., he did not.
However, Li Zetian’s father Li Chengzhi was fully devoted to “Life” magazine, so Li Zetian had to give him a reminder. Find the original chapter at novelping.com.
“Mhm, then that’s it, I’m hanging up!”
“Okay…”
Just after Li Zetian finished this call, Bill Gates waved at him and shouted: “Chronos, come quick and play cards!”
Uh, ever since Bill Gates learned to play cards, he almost became a card addict!
“No, I have to go to the school computer room now!” Li Zetian shook his head and said, thinking to himself, I still have to strive for my future!!!
Li Zetian now frequently traveled back and forth between Harvard University and DEC, constantly enriching himself.
The golden scales are not things of the pond; once encountering the wind and clouds, they will transform into a dragon!
Li Zetian would sooner or later turn into a soaring giant dragon!!!
…
On November 1st, the revamped “Life” magazine was published.
At first, people didn’t pay attention to this small magazine.
However, a few days passed, and “Life” magazine suddenly started to become popular.
Students from many schools in Taiwan were discussing “The Devotion of Suspect X”.
“Have you read ‘The Devotion of Suspect X’?”
“Haven’t read it…”
“Hurry up and buy a copy of ‘Life’ magazine to read.
It has the serialization of this novel.
The plot has thrilling twists and turns, confusing and intricate.
It simply makes one unable to stop.
It’s absolutely a classic among classics in mystery novels!
So looking forward to next week coming quickly, then I can continue reading!”
“Really?
Then I’ll go buy a copy right now.”
A certain newsstand.
“Boss, do you have ‘Life’ magazine?”
“Oh my, I don’t know what happened, these past two days many people have come to buy this kind of magazine.
It was sold out early this morning!”
“Life” Magazine Office.
Li Chengzhi was holding the phone and shouting loudly: “Print more, quickly print more for me!”
“Editor-in-Chief Li, how many do you plan to print?”
“100,000 copies, no, print 200,000 copies for me!!!”
