"The Devotion of Suspect X" was unexpectedly popular in Taiwan, especially among the students, causing a huge sensation. Every day, many students came to "Life" magazine after school to ask about the plot behind the novel. As a result, the sales of "Life" magazine also increased greatly. Of course, the more they sell, the greater the income for Li Zetian, because for every copy of "Life" magazine, he can get 2 yuan in Taiwan dollars.
With the launch of the second issue of the magazine, "The Devotion of Suspect X" has become even more popular.
For a time, the "Life" magazine was crowded.
It can be said that in order to obtain the traditional publishing rights of the entire novel, the major publishers in Taiwan almost broke through the door of the "Life" magazine. Even the film companies have come to the door, wanting to get the film adaptation rights of the novel. Li Chengzhi called his son to ask for his opinion. Li Zetian said that after waiting for a while, "The Devotion of Suspect X" will definitely become more and more popular. At that time, he will negotiate with publishers and film companies. It's up for sale here, don't worry!
At the same time, Li Zetian began to write his second novel "Walking in the White Night", which is also a classic work by Keigo Higashino, a master of RB mystery novels. After writing "The Devotion of Suspect X", Li Zetian has become very comfortable with the adaptation of the novel. Not only did he write the essence of the original work, but he also wanted to be innovative and add his own ideas to make the story more exciting. Of course, Li Zetian admits that it is not easy to do this.
If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tool. Li Zetian went to the store and spent $500 to buy a 1200 computer developed by Wang An Computer Company in 1971. Only, it comes with a search function, which is much better than IBM's $400 electric typewriter.
The United States is facing economic transformation at this time, the proportion of the tertiary industry is rising, the number of office white-collar workers has increased significantly, and the existing office equipment has been unable to keep up. Wang An aimed at this opportunity, concentrated scientific research and funds, and developed an office system. Previously, this was the exclusive domain of IBM. In 1971, when Wang An Computer Company launched the Model 1200 computer, it was reported that Thomas Watson, Jr., chairman of IBM who was hospitalized for myocardial infarction, was furious when he saw the news in the newspaper and scolded his assistant for not reporting relevant information in advance. After the curse, Watson fell into a faint!
At the end of November, "The Devotion of Suspect X" was serialized in "Life" magazine, with a total sales of nearly 600,000 copies. Li Zetian earned 1.2 million Taiwan dollars, which was almost 30,000 US dollars when converted into US dollars according to the exchange rate at that time!
Now Li Zetian is also considered a small asset, and his entrepreneurial heart is already ready to move!
…
…
Christmas is coming, and every college at Harvard University will hold a Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve. This is a very grand 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 very lively, with a lot of food and drinks. Li Zetian was not very social, and he didn't make any friends in the music department. So, he probably brought a mouth to eat...
Bacha Bacha, it's delicious!
However, after a few minutes, when he looked up, he suddenly saw Chen Ruoxi, the girl at the school opening party. At this moment, she was drinking beside a Christmas tree with colorful lights not far away, and beside her no one else!
Chance! ! !
Li Zetian's heart moved, his spirit instantly became excited, and he took a glass of wine on the table and drank it.
As the saying goes, "wine strengthens the courage", after a glass of wine, Li Zetian decided to go to greet her.
He quickly walked up to her, "Hi, hello! Do you still know me?"
"็ Hello Who are you… ?"
"You don't remember me?"
"It seems to have an impression, but I can't remember it."
"Didn't you fall down the stairs at the freshman orientation party? I caught you."
"Oh, it was you, I remembered."
"Hello, let me introduce myself formally. My name is Li Zetian, and my English name is Chronos·Lee."
"Nice to meet you, my name is Chen Ruoxi!"
"Well, it's nice to meet you too... "
After introducing himself, Li Zetian, who was first in love, suddenly didn't know what to say. He had never learned the skills of flirting with girls, and he had no talent for this. On the contrary, the more nervous, the more unable to speak.
cold field.
Awkward.
And Chen Ruoxi obviously knew Li Zetian's intention to come to greet her. Pretty girls are often chased by boys! If it is the boy she likes, she will take the initiative to talk to him, but if it is not the boy she likes, she will be too lazy to speak. Otherwise, simply deal with it. Li Zetian is thin and not tall, not the sunny and handsome boy she likes.
After holding back for a long time, Li Zetian 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 in a different way. From the conversation with the other party, Chen Ruoxi thought that Li Zetian was a boring person, but she did not know that Li Zetian did this because he was nervous. He usually talked to Bill Gates and Steve. · Ballmer, DEC company executives and others talked about computers and the economy, it was admirable!
For Li Zetian, perhaps it would be better for him to give a business speech in front of the whole school than to speak in front of a girl he likes.
At this moment, Li Zetian felt so embarrassed.
Luohua intentionally flowing water is ruthless, and flowing water loves Luohua unintentionally.
He was not stupid, from the attitude of the other party, he could clearly feel that Chen Ruoxi was not interested in him.
"Who didn't have a few secret crushes when he was young! Maybe, the other half who really belongs to him is still waiting for him in the future!" Li Zetian comforted himself in his heart.
Li Zetian said goodbye to Chen Ruoxi immediately.
As soon as Li Zetian left, Wang Lie, Wang An's son, came to Chen Ruoxi's side and asked with a frown, "Ruoxi, who is that man?"
"Just a friend."
"Friend? I don't think so. I think that kid clearly wants to pursue you!"
"So what? I want you to mind your own business!"
"Ruoxi, don't make trouble, you are my girlfriend, how can I ignore it?"
"I already told you to break up!"
"Ruoxi, I know what you said is angry! Didn't I promise you that I would not make mistakes again, what do you want from me?!"
Chen Ruoxi didn't speak, turned around and left.
With a gloomy face, Wang Lie said to the several companions behind him, "Go and investigate that man quickly, and teach him a lesson by the way, so that he will appear less in front of Ruoxi in the future!"
"Hehe, don't worry, he will never dare to appear in front of Miss Ruoxi next time!" A tall man grinned.
"Um!"
Chen Ruoxi returned to her sister group, talking and laughing, as if what happened just now did not happen at all.
"Ruoxi is just different, there are people chasing him wherever he goes! Who is that man?" everyone joked,
Chen Ruoxi replied with a smile, "My name is Li Zetian, he is from China, he should be a freshman in the music department, I don't know much about him."
"I don't understand it now, but I can gradually understand it later! How is it, Ruoxi, have you seen him?"
"You want to give it to you, I don't like it anyway!"
"Of course you don't like it. The heir of Wang An Computer Company is much better than a poor boy! In other words, why don't you forgive Wang Lie? Don't you worry that someone else will take him away?"
"I'll watch his performance on my birthday next week. If he does well, I'll forgive him!"
"Hey, poor Li Zetian, it's destined to not be able to hold the beauty back, giggling..." The crowd laughed.
"I think that Li Zetian is actually quite good!" Someone suddenly said among Chen Ruoxi's sisters.
Hearing this, everyone cast a surprised look.
"Yu Jingqiu, you can't be mistaken... Do you think he is 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, while her The appearance is not weaker than Chen Ruoxi at all, with long hair fluttering, fair skin and beautiful skin, slender body, graceful and graceful, and he also has an intellectual and wise temperament!
