Giant of the times

The moral character of the old man in front of me is undoubtedly noble and great. This money has been accumulated by the old man throughout his life. How can he ask for it?

Before Li Zetian could speak, a voice next to him suddenly sounded.

“Old man, we can’t take this money!!!”

It was Tang Jiawei who spoke. He was not far away and obviously heard the conversation here. At this moment, he came over, zipped up the bag, and said to the old man: "These are your hard-earned money, we can't take it!"

The old man shook his head and said: "Why do I need so much money now that I'm in the coffin? Someone once said, 'It's a shame to die among the rich!' I don't want to take so much money with me." Money dies!”

Tang Jiawei said: "That's what the steel magnate Carnegie said, but $100,000 is not a huge wealth. It is your pension money for your later years. You should not donate it! If you donate money, how will you live?"

"I can still make money!" The old man said stubbornly, sitting on the stool and assuming that if you don't accept the money, I won't leave!

Li Zetian asked: "Old man, do your children agree with your donation?"

The old man shook his head: "I have no children, so you don't have to worry!"

When Li Zetian heard this, he felt desolate in his heart. He turned his head and winked at Tang Jiawei, called him aside, and whispered: "I don't even have any children, but I am willing to donate all my wealth. He is definitely an old man worthy of our respect. Do you think this will work? , I collected the money, but arranged a very leisurely and easy job for him in the school, such as taking a walk every day, watering the flowers and trees, etc. Anyway, the school is so big and there is not much to do, so Quan should be Let him spend his old age here and have someone to rely on. Of course, if you don't want to, then you can't accept the $100,000..."

Tang Jiawei nodded, "You are right, just do what you want. Confucius Chinese Academy will be his nursing home from now on, and we will take good care of him!"

"Um!"

Tang Jiawei and Li Zetian walked up to the old man together. Tang Jiawei said: "Old man, we can accept the money, but we have another condition, which is to let you come to our school as a gardener and water the flowers and plants here every day if you have nothing to do. , our school provides accommodation and meals, are you willing?"

The old man has lived for a long time, and his mind is as clear as a mirror. The land is so big, and all the work can be done in less than half an hour, and it is also an easy job of watering. Who wants to hire an old man to do the work? They must have heard that they were childless and felt sympathy. In order to take care of themselves, they made a request to be a gardener.

The old man was particularly touched. After thinking about it, he agreed: "Okay, since you don't dislike me for being old, then I will come to help you..."

Tang Jiawei and Li Zetian looked at each other and smiled.

"Old man, you will be a member of our school from now on!" Tang Jiawei walked up to the old man and stretched out his hand.

The old man shook hands excitedly and said, "Okay, okay!"

Li Zetian smiled with satisfaction, then said hello to Tang Jiawei and went to find Yu Jingqiu.

At this moment, the ceremony is almost over.

Yu Jingqiu asked: "What are we talking about?"

"Did you see that old man over there? He donated his life savings of 100,000 US dollars to the school so that Chinese compatriots can learn Chinese language and fulfill his regrets..."

When Yu Jingqiu heard this, she couldn't help but sigh: "This is a praiseworthy and respectable old man!"

"Yes." Li Zetian couldn't help but nodded.

In fact, what the old man just quoted from Carnegie has caused Li Zetian to think deeply.

"It's a shame to die rich!"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.

Li Zetian is convinced that with his memory and technology ahead of his time, he will have no problem becoming the world's richest man.

So, do you want to die rich?

Li Zetian suddenly thought of his previous life. He was a lonely orphan, sleeping on the streets, suffering from cold and hunger, being looked down upon by others, and experiencing all the pain in the world.

"If I make a lot of money, I must do charity. I do charity not to reduce corporate or personal taxes, but to sincerely help those desperate and helpless children!!! Take the money. What is for the people should also be used for the people!!!" Li Zetian said to himself.

At this moment, Li Zetian felt that his purpose of making money was no longer dirty and selfish, because he shouldered a great mission and responsibility! ! !

At noon, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu had lunch at the Confucius Chinese Academy, and then said goodbye to Tang Jiawei.

Returning to Harvard University, Li Zetian once again entered into BASIC language development without sleep or food. At this moment, he seemed to be more motivated than before.

…

Universities here in the United States usually have a three-month long vacation and start school on September 1st, which means that Harvard University’s final exams will be held in May.

As Harvard University enters May, it can be clearly felt that the study atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger. The library is basically full, and even Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer are stepping up their review. I am afraid that in the entire Harvard University, Li Zetian is the only one who is indifferent to this final exam.

For Li Zetian, the school's computer room is the place where he spends most time. Like Paul Allen in his previous life who developed BASIC, he also used the school's computer to imitate the 8080 integrated block to develop the BASIC language. At this moment, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the development of the BASIC language. In his previous life, Paul Allen and Bill Gates completed this work together, but in this life, Li Zetian completed this work alone. Therefore, he I had to work harder, and as for school courses, I had to give up completely.

Yu Jingqiu was worried that Li Zetian would fail the final exam, so she couldn't help but ask him.

Li Zetian did not answer, but asked: "If I want to drop out of school and start a business, will you support me?"

When Yu Jingqiu heard this, she was silent for a while, then nodded firmly and said: "Support! No matter what you want to do, I will support it, because I believe in you!!!"

The words "because I believe in you" moved Li Zetian. He hugged Yu Jingqiu and promised her: "If I drop out of school today, there may be many people pointing fingers at you behind your back, saying that the boyfriend you are looking for is not good. You say you have no vision, but I believe that one day, I will return as the king!!!"

"Well, I'm waiting for you!!!" Yu Jingqiu raised her head and kissed Li Zetian directly!
