Chapter 439 "Match"

Chapter 439 "Match"

Chapter 439 "Match"

Deng Zhi seemed to really treat Chen Zhe as his younger brother.

Even though we haven't seen each other for many years, we will still choose to help him unconditionally when we meet again. The successful start of CUHK Learning Network is inseparable from Deng Zhi's initial reporting and promotion.

So, when Deng Zhi said, "Come home with me to get the medicine later," it might sound ambiguous to others, but Chen knew that Deng Zhi was just concerned about his own health.

However, just as he had expected, there were too few places where he could quietly accept interviews at this time. S600 circled the city for half a day but still could not find a suitable place.

Chen thought for a moment and said, "Sister Zhizhi, how about... we take you home first, then take a walk around your neighborhood and chat for a while?"

"can!"

Deng Zhi thought this was a good idea. His home was not in a bustling downtown area, but in a relatively quiet old neighborhood in Dongxiaonan.

But she was still a little hesitant: "You still want to walk after drinking? Won't it be too tiring? If not, let's do it another day."

"Isn't your editor-in-chief very anxious?"

Chen asked with a smile.

"It's urgent, then."

Deng Zhi tilted her head, her short hair hanging on her shoulders like tassels, and sneered disapprovingly: "What's the big deal if it's a day or two late?"

"Never mind. I understand the urgency of work."

Chen Zhuo shrugged and said, "Just take a walk to sober up."

……

Although Guangzhou is full of lights and nightlife late at night, there is rarely any traffic jam. After just over ten minutes, Ma Haijun drove to the gate of the "Binjiang Ruicheng" community.

"Binjiang Ruicheng" is newer than Chen Zhuo's "Donghu North Courtyard", but the location is not as good.

To use today's "fashionable" words, the school corresponding to the house is just average, but Deng Zhi doesn't seem to have any plans to get married and have children, so it doesn't matter what the "school district house" is.

After getting out of the car, Ma Haijun slid the car to the side of the road not far away.

It doesn't disturb the boss while he's talking about things, but you can observe his needs at the same time.

"Isn't this car cheap?"

Deng Zhi stared at the flashing taillights and the license plate with the word "Leopard".

She doesn't study luxury cars, but based on her work and experience, she can roughly guess that the S600 should be worth more than 200 million.

License plates are even rarer.

Chen Zhuo did not hide anything and explained frankly: "The company needs a car to entertain guests, and the license plate was given to me by a partner."

Deng Zhi nodded slightly, she completely understood.

This is a common practice at present. In the context of great development of the times, almost every industry can make money, and there is impetuous noise everywhere. Before the two parties discuss cooperation, they will subconsciously "select people by the car".

As a result, many businessmen now even take out loans to buy luxury cars for the sake of business.

This unhealthy value system will gradually change as the noise fades away and the economic environment becomes more stable, and people will gradually pursue simplicity and practicality.

"How did you suddenly cross over from the Internet to the software industry?"

After taking only two steps, Deng Zhi suddenly asked.

The interview began inadvertently.

Chen Zhuo did not answer immediately, but straightened his back and said in a deep voice: "Strictly speaking, there is no such detailed division between the domestic Internet and software industries. Internet companies can develop software, and software companies also sell software through the Internet. They are both products of the development of computer information technology."

Deng Zhi's recorder is already turned on. It seems that she has prepared everything for tonight's interview.

"Is the name of the Chinese Institute of Computer Software Science taken from the first two characters of [Zhongda] and [Huagong]?"

Deng Zhi asked again.

"Yes, but it means more than that."

Chen Zhuo said with emotion: "There is still hope in our country. It is best if the software related to people's livelihood and the country is designed by the Chinese themselves."

"Chen is very patriotic."

Deng Zhi asked softly, her high heels stepping on the ground, the "tapping" sound seemed like the breath of a quiet night.

"Of course."

Chen answered without hesitation: "When I was in primary school, my geography teacher said that China's land area was not the largest in the world. I was secretly sad for a long time."

Deng Zhi couldn't help laughing. It seemed that every Chinese child had this feeling.

"What kind of help can this institute provide for tracing back?"

Deng Zhi's interview is still going on.

"At present, we will definitely give priority to serving the CUHK Learning Network, and hope to bring a better experience to our members. After all, our slogan is to serve our members."

It is impossible for Chen to bring up the concept of "reply" in the interview and still use "CU Learning Network" as a cover.

"Have you ever considered the possibility of failure? After all, it's a huge sum of 2000 million, and you're only 19 years old."

Experienced journalists like Deng Zhi always conduct interviews in a step-by-step and logical manner.

It includes both praise and publicity, as well as questions about hidden dangers.

“Of course I considered failure.”

Chen Zhuo did not shy away from this question and said loudly: "If we fail, then just treat it as an attempt and effort, but we will not give up. I always believe that entrepreneurship is like life. Lows are not the norm. Excellent companies will eventually go through the cycle..."

"That is nice."

Deng Zhi secretly admired.

She had talked with Chen Zhuo more than once, but every time they communicated, she could feel that Chen Zhuo was making progress.

From being "good at interpersonal relationships" in the beginning, to later dabbling in the "Internet industry", and now to the "Software Research Institute", Chen Zhe is also in a process of continuous learning.

“I knew a lot, but I didn’t rest on my laurels!”

This is Chen Zhuo’s current state. Rebirth is not his greatest reliance. The habit of being good at thinking and summarizing is the foundation of a person’s success.

On spring nights, the sky seems as if it has been carefully wiped, and it is so clear that you can see through the universe at a glance.

The trees have fuller leaves, the wind has become more lyrical, and the fragrance of the night permeates the air, weaving into a soft dream.

Chen Zhuo and Deng Zhi walked side by side, sometimes he was in front and sometimes she was in front.

This scene seemed to be put into an hourglass of reversed time, returning to the childhood in vague memory again.

Later, the two of them not only talked about the China Software Research Institute, but also about the corporate culture of Su Hui, the difficulties in starting a business, and the time allocation between class and work...

These were the interview outlines prepared previously, even including Chen Zhuo's love life.

An excellent personal interview cannot be all about work, it must touch upon some privacy so that the audience can feel it is relevant when reading it.

Even those business tycoons who are interviewed in the future will generally mention a few words about marriage and children.

It's like a novel, it can't be all dry stuff.

"I've heard you say that before."

So, Deng Zhi naturally turned to this topic: "You have a girlfriend, and you are in a very good relationship. I'm curious about when you started dating?"

"If we're officially dating... well... college."

Chen rubbed his nose and said, "But [love] started in high school."

There was no flaw in this sentence. "Oh? So it was a high school romance?"

Deng Zhi couldn't help but ask: "Is it she who pursued you, or you who pursued her?"

"She liked me first!"

Chen replied shamelessly.

Chen was originally trying to be humorous, but Deng Zhi said with deep feeling:

"You must have done very well in high school. Girls of school age like two types of guys: either the guy smoking at the stairs, or the guy waiting to receive an award at the flag-raising platform."

"what……"

Chen thought that this seemed to be the case.

He glanced at Deng Zhi and found that there was no nostalgia in her expression, only emotion. He knew that Deng Zhi was just talking about the matter at hand and was not using this as an opportunity to miss Bai Yueguang.

Speaking of "White Moonlight", Chen Zhuo couldn't help but ask: "Where is Zhizhi's boyfriend from college now?"

“I didn’t have a boyfriend in college.”

Deng Zhi said openly.

"What about after work?"

Chen asked again.

"After work..."

Deng Zhi joked: "My work is my boyfriend."

"Sister Zhizhi has been single since birth?"

Chen was a little surprised at first, but then he remembered the "five conditions" of the newspaper office janitor. Although they seemed ordinary, upon closer thought, they could really screen out 99% of the boys.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

"Drip~"

At this time, a car drove past from behind, its wheels close to the ground spinning rapidly, swirling up the fallen leaves on the road and slowly rolling them into the low grass.

Up and down, one after another, echoing the chirping of cicadas in the treetops.

Deng Zhi accidentally looked at the time and realized that it was almost two o'clock. It turned out that they had been chatting for so long without realizing it.

"Okay, the interview is over!"

Deng Zhi let out a long sigh.

She is usually very busy with work, and taking a walk occasionally makes her feel as relaxed as if she were on vacation.

"Then I'm going back."

Chen said, taking out his cell phone and preparing to ask Ma Haijun to come pick him up.

"Wait a minute, I'll go upstairs and get you some medicine."

Deng Zhi still remembers this incident, and she really shows the demeanor of an older sister who cares about her younger brother.

"no thanks."

Seeing the S600 slowly approaching with its lights flashing, Chen shook his head: "The alcohol smell has dissipated, don't worry about me, but Sister Zhizhi..."

"Ok?"

Deng Zhi thought Chen had something to add to the interview.

"I heard from the security guard that you often work overtime until the early morning."

Chen Zhuo recalled his past experience and sincerely suggested: "There is no end to the work. As ordinary people with limited energy, we should complete important tasks excellently instead of mediocrely taking care of all the work. What do you think, Sister Zhizhi?"

Deng Zhi raised his head and saw the sincere concern in the eyes of this younger brother, and nodded silently.

……

After Chen Zhuo left, Deng Zhi also went upstairs and went home.

She thought her mother was asleep and moved quietly, but when she was changing her shoes, the door in her mother's bedroom suddenly opened a crack.

The scattered light cast a warm shadow on the floor.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Deng Zhi asked in surprise.

"How can I sleep if you don't come home?"

Deng Zhi's mother is over 60 years old. Coupled with the influence of her husband's death a few years ago, she has a lot of white hair on her head, like a felt hat of time.

"is it?"

Deng Zhi half bent over and carefully took off her earrings, saying, "I don't know who it was the day before yesterday, but he snored so loudly when I got off work."

"I fell asleep after I saw your car go into the basement."

The mother said unhappily, and then her face was full of smiles again: "Zhizhi, who is that man?"

Deng Zhi took off her earrings, went to the bathroom to remove her makeup, and asked casually, "What's that?"

"You still don't want to admit it?"

There was a hint of anger in Deng's mother's tone, but there was joy hidden in her voice.

Now her only last wish in life is for her daughter to get married.

But my daughter won't cooperate. It's okay that she doesn't date or meet boys, but when she heard that I was going to go back to my hometown for a blind date during the Chinese New Year, she simply didn't go home.

I didn't expect that she would "turn over a new leaf" today and walked downstairs with a man for almost two hours.

Deng's mother is too old to stay up late, and she is so sleepy that she can't even open her eyes, but for the sake of her future son-in-law, she still insists on staying up late.

"That's the man who just walked around the neighborhood with you for more than ten times!"

Deng's mother thought her daughter was too shy to admit it, so she just said it straight out.

"what?"

Deng Zhi stopped washing her face, and water drops flowed down her pointed chin, dripping into the pool and creating tiny ripples.

After a while, she said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "That's Chen Zhe! Aunt Mao's son. I have something to interview him about!"

"Let's talk again."

Deng Zhi scooped up another handful of water and soaked his cheeks: "He also has a girlfriend, his childhood sweetheart from high school."

"Chen Zhe..."

When Deng's mother heard that it was Chen Zhuo, she suddenly became like a deflated ball and lost interest completely.

"Huh! The little kid has a girlfriend."

Mother Deng grumbled.

In her memory, Chen Zhe will always be the little kid with a snotty nose who followed Deng Zhi pitifully.

The old woman returned to the bedroom disappointedly. When she stood at the door, she suddenly stopped and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

But the picture of you two walking together just now really looked like a perfect match.
