Chapter 196, "Time" Weekly Interview (Part 1)

In the afternoon, the headquarters office building of Manhattan Times.

The little secretary hurried to the bathroom door: "Ms. Ailena, Miss Wang has arrived first, are you not getting well yet?"

"What? Wait a minute!"

A sensational sound, followed by the sound of water, Eilena rushed out of a squatting position: "Ms. Wang has arrived? Didn't she say it was two o'clock in the afternoon? It's still half an hour away."

As she said this, she hurried to the makeup mirror first. She was forty years old, but as a senior editor of Time magazine, Elena can be said to be a typical example of successful women. She wore an elegant Chanel suit and was sprayed with Chanel No. 5 perfume. Even if the interviewee unexpectedly arrived early, she had to sort out her golden hair and gem-inlaid collar, and she must not appear in front of the other party in disorganized clothes.

"Because Miss Wang said..."

Ailena's little secretary was amused and crying: "She came to Manhattan so many times, and today she rarely took the subway once, but it turned out that she was many times faster than usual to take a rental, which made her not estimate the time."

"Di, subway?"

She quickly flipped her Hermes bag, and after washing her face, Elena quickly put on makeup: "Taxi? This kind of reason is OK? Well, accept an interview, Manhattan, transportation, it is indeed the fastest, and it's not her fault...leave!"

In just half a minute, complex behaviors such as applying foundation and tracing eyeliner were completed instantly, and Elena walked out of the bathroom quickly.

"Interview draft, by the way, the interview draft... Scott! John! was standing there, why did you do? Hurry up and go to the reception room. Miss Wang arrived early!"

The sound of high heels quickly passed through the office area. Two young men who were still drinking coffee quickly put down their cups and stood up quickly: "Oh my God, isn't there still half an hour? Why did you arrive early?"

After all, the interview was not just a reporter's business, but also a series of work such as taking photos. When they were busy, their colleagues around them were gloating: "Hey, you have to pay attention to your image, and you sprayed the cologne water quickly. There has never been a chance to interview beautiful girls for many years, so you have to seize it!"

"Oh damn, that's just a middle school student!"

"No, what's wrong with the middle school student? I'm not old, can you wait... OK Ailena, let's go right away!"

Because someone's early arrival, the interview team was almost ready in a hurry. In fact, this can also show the work density of Time magazine. Just half an hour ahead of time can make people feel busy. If it is a company with little business, I'm afraid that everything would be ready three days ago, right?

Then, the door of the reception room was opened.

As soon as she walked in, Elena's eyes lit up.

The girl was wearing a white women's suit from an unknown brand, and the dark style was also a style she had never seen before. Although she was unknown, she could tell at a glance that it was made by a famous artist. The slender suit pants were tailor-made, perfectly setting off the girl's slender legs, similar to Armani's neutral style, and made her taller figure.

He wore a tie on the neck and a black silk tie on the back of his head. Logically speaking, this kind of transgender dress is definitely funny when he puts on ordinary girls. But when this outfit is worn on the girl in front of him, Elena held her breath.

"Hello?"

"Ah, ah...Hello, Miss Wang."

Ailena was stunned for a moment before reacting, and quickly shook hands with Alice and said, "I am your interview reporter Ailena. Can I call you Alice?"

"Of course, please sit down."

Alice waved to the seat beside her, as if she was the master here.

Elena sat in the seat, and the two assistants next to her immediately set up tripods to prepare for taking photos.

"Alice, I was a little surprised when I received the notice. I didn't expect you to arrive early."

As soon as I sat down, the interview mode had already begun. Eilena took out the paper and pen and said by the way: "I heard that you used to take a taxi when you came to Manhattan, but you only transferred to the subway today?"

Alice looked at the paper and pen in Ailena's hand: "After all, I'm from Los Angeles, and New York is the big apple on the East Coast. If you come here every time you walk underground, wouldn't it be a pity? In such a bustling place in Manhattan, you should take a taxi to visit."

It’s easy to meet someone who knows how to cooperate. Seeing Alice suddenly enter the interview state, Elena happily recorded it quickly: “So, you are also very interested in New York. So as the boss of Cisco Systems, a shareholder of Microsoft, a partner of DreamWorks, and a two set of books on Bantams, do you plan to expand your career to the East Coast?”

"If you have a chance, of course you will."

Alice first gave a satisfactory answer to the question, and then smiled softly: "But I said Ailena, we asked and answered questions and answers in a rhythmic manner as soon as we came up. Is it really good?"

Both assistants laughed immediately, and one of them fiddled with the reflector and said, "Yes, yes, Ailena, we are just busy, you guys are slow."

Eilena also laughed. Others didn't know that the moment she entered the house, she was really affected by the neutral aura on Alice.

At this moment, I looked at Alice's suit and came naturally with a chatty topic: "Alice, can you introduce us to today's clothes? Why do you think of wearing such a...a very cool suit?"

The suit is a completely slim style, and the specific style as neutral as George Armani is really obvious at a glance. In addition, Alice's eyebrows are already full of heroic beauty, and now she has a hairstyle with a pair of hair. It can be said that even Elena, a 40-year-old woman, has to be intimidated by the girl's temperament.

This is really strange. After all, the other party is just a fourteen-year-old girl, but Ailena is really unable to compare her with her ordinary peers by being so dressed up.

It depends on the two assistants I bring now. If it weren’t for the fact that everyone would always interview celebrities, after all, they had a wide range of knowledge, so they would probably have put Brother Pig’s face on the show.

Faced with the problem, Alice did not sit slanted like an ordinary girl, but instead spread her legs apart like a boy, put her elbows on the armrest of the sofa, and her hands were also joined together.

"Well, Ailena, in fact, in addition to the identities you mentioned, I am also a major shareholder of a clothing brand."

"You are in the clothing brand industry, not the clothing processing industry!"

Ailena recorded it in surprise, which was a real big gain. I really didn't expect that the genius girl who people thought was able to create scripts and novels in addition to being both liberal arts and science, actually became the founder of a clothing brand!?

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just a shareholder, there's someone else who is responsible for designing clothes."

"I understand, so what brand is the suit you are wearing now? What's the name?"

"Names after my brother and sister, Oscar & Hannah, but our company's main market is in China and can't be bought here in the United States."

Eilena now just feels that her hand speed is not fast enough because there are so many things to write: "It's such a lucky pair of brothers and sisters to have a sister like you, but why do you put the market in China?"

"As an emerging brand, it is unwise to seize the long-established European and American markets with other seniors. On the contrary, China, which has just been reformed and opened up, is still a fertile land for the clothing industry. As a Chinese, I have of course the responsibility and obligation to invest."

This is a very convincing reason. As a senior editor of Time magazine, Elena herself knows that China has really changed a lot since 1978. Not to mention that last year's annual figure was the leader from that country? Moreover, it was the first time he was printed on the homepage of Time in 1978.

It was an unexpected surprise that he had discovered a new career of the interviewee so simply, but the planned interview content could not be stopped. After Alice briefly introduced the establishment of "Oscar & Hannah", the topic turned to the real focus.

"Many industries have geniuses, and as an emerging industry, the field of programming is originally the world of young people. As people in English-speaking countries, we have an advantage in programming..."

"You ask me if programming will be replaced by Chinese? Haha, isn't Chinese input method itself a program? Alphabet language has unique advantages in the computer world. In terms of object characters, the keyboard is the most basic difficulty, isn't it?"

"I developed Windows 10 alone, but the later maintenance work is also indispensable to the help of Microsoft colleagues, and they are currently developing the second-generation system, so I have not interfered at all."

“Working with Gates is a pleasant experience, we have a lot of languages ​​in common…”

"With both literature and science? Actually, this is the result of the balance development of left and right brain..."

Alice has too many things to write about, which is the characteristic of her not going to any other interviewee. A fourteen-year-old multi-millionaire, and maybe she has a billionaire, and these achievements are almost all developed by her step by step, and they are of the same nature as the actor who became popular overnight. This alone is enough to make countless media the subject of an article. But while Alyina is writing these with a sore hands, she still clearly realizes that she has seriously off topic.

"So, Oh my God, please allow me to take a break, I'm a little tired."

Shaking her hands, Eilena smiled bitterly. An hour has passed, and the real question has not been asked yet. It is because there are so many people who can write. Look, even if she goes off topic to this level, hasn't the editor-in-chief come to remind me?

"Then let's take a break first, don't worry."

And from the beginning to the end, Alice was very calm.

"This is the first time in the half century since the founding of Time magazine, an interview with a middle school girl. Even if it lasts until 8 o'clock in the evening, I believe everyone will agree."

Elena took a deep breath and sighed softly.

"I would have had a daughter like you."
