Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

San Francisco Airport is considered a relatively busy airport in the United States. When Ning Zimo was hugging her waist and walking through the endless crowds, Sima Lin could not help but feel her face getting hot, but she hoped from the bottom of her heart that this road would not have an end.

Because taking the initiative and maintaining close contact for a long time like this is the distance that she has longed for most in her heart for so many years.

Especially the fact that he deliberately kept a pace that was completely synchronized with hers made her feel that the span of change she saw in him this time was a bit unbelievable.

She secretly looked over from the side, but happened to see him turn around.

After not seeing each other for a while, Sima Lin not only felt that his hairstyle had changed a lot, but even his facial expression had become "playful and smiling".

"The last time I had a holiday close to Christmas was in Australia in 2003."

"Yeah," Sima Lin said, her voice sounded like a mosquito.

Ning Zi looked at her reaction with a smile, and probably after thinking about it, he took his hand away from her waist.

For a moment, Sima Lin was a little disappointed in her reaction to his action.

But before she had time to fully settle this emotion, her right hand was gently held by his hand that was taken away from her waist.

Whether it was intentional or not, Sima Lin always felt that he seemed to have a teasing smile on his face at that moment.

"I've been busy with work in the past few years, and sometimes I can't stop even for the New Year." Ning Zimo took another step and continued as he walked, "So, I have never had my own life, and I have never had a life of my own.

Important people have been neglected."

The gentle grip from the hands where the fingers were intertwined made Sima Lin instantly understand the meaning of "important person" in his mouth.

"That year, my father just came to Dagu Factory as a product manager, and the new products he led to develop were in a slow-selling state at first. I was still busy with the company at that time, and before I could follow up, Sister Mengyun's company...

Eat a lot of his inventory."

Sima Lin saw him looking back and giving her a deep look, and she suddenly felt her heart beating even harder.

"And that year, we encountered the most difficult situation after returning to China. The company was blocked by a few minions, the company office was sealed, the machines were moved away, and the company that had just been named Emperor Penguin was in dire straits.

Originally, I thought about finding another way to make a name for myself and solve the problem by selling Skype. But in the period before Christmas, eBay only sent the senior vice president to negotiate. Meg Whitman was the one who could best determine the outcome.

The CEO is not here, and the progress is just stuck at a critical point when I urgently need money to acquire Blizzard."

In so many years, this was the first time that Ning Zimo revealed his feelings to himself.

Although Sima Lin listened to his calm tone, she could still detect his uneasiness at that time from his calmness.

She gently shook his big hand, but saw him stop as if sensing something.

"That was the day I was in the most irritable mood in Luxembourg. I even felt that I could hardly control my anxiety when facing Jeff Jordan. But at that moment, you appeared behind him."

Turning to look at Sima Lin, Ning Zimo breathed a long sigh of relief, "As soon as you appeared in front of me, you made me calm down again. At that time, all the upsets were calmed down by your hug..."

"Is it like this?"

The image just flashed through his mind, and the next moment, Sima Lin breathed the last word on his ear.

Many scenes flashed through Ning Zimo's mind in an instant, but it was like going back to a day a few years ago, and the body tightly hugged by her relaxed unconsciously.

The endless flow of people at San Francisco Airport never stopped. Even if a man and woman hugged each other tightly, people passing by would only glance at them lightly, while some people passing by would smile slightly when they saw such a scene.

But at this moment, Sima Lin still hugged him tightly even though her face was hot.

After a long time, she whispered in his ear, "Did you find her?"

Ning Zimo's body trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, "It seems that I have never been able to hide it in this regard."

"It's because you changed too much and too quickly." Sima Lin murmured, "And you didn't even think about hiding it."

"I never thought of hiding it from you, because I have always felt that time is precious, and I don't want to miss anything."

Ning Zimo nodded unconsciously. Although he couldn't see his expression because he was hugging her, he still smiled and said, "You are all terrifyingly smart."

Although he spoke with a smile, the attentive Sima Lin could still tell the regret in his tone.

"Is it because something happened to her?"

"Well," Ning Zimo was struck by the blow. Thinking of the one-way return ticket in his pocket, he nodded with a wry smile, "The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Maryland is the best place I know about the current treatment of leukemia.

Good hospital.

In the past few years, she had spent all her time at work, so her condition had worsened unknowingly. Therefore, when we saw her again, her condition was already worse. Now, she must start receiving chemotherapy.

"

Thinking of his short, lean hair when he appeared this time, Sima Lin knew that there was something very complicated hidden in his brief words.

Although she didn't understand the details, she understood that he had experienced many heavy things in the recent days when she was not with him.

Inexplicably, she suddenly thought of his young face full of tears when he woke up on the stretcher in the ambulance 7 years ago.

At that time, besides being moved, she also realized that he was a compassionate person.

The arms hugging him couldn't help but hug him harder, and Sima Lin said nothing.

Although she had many worries, at this time, she wanted to put them all aside.

After a long time, she heard the voice next to her ear regain its strength:

"Let's go, let's not talk about this for now. I will take you to meet an old friend today. Then, let's wait for Christmas."

…

It took more than an hour to get to the destination from San Francisco Airport. Sima Lin was held tightly by Ning Zimo all the way.

Of course she understood what kind of turmoil was hidden in his heart, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just felt his emotions quietly and chatted with him about light topics.

When the motorcade stopped in front of an old house, she followed his steps and stepped out of the car.

The geographical location of California means that the sun is still warm even in winter. Under the sunshine, the old house with half of its side covered with ivy stands out particularly eye-catching among the houses decorated with lights and colorful lights around it.

The Christmas atmosphere that seems to be approaching has nothing to do with the homeowner.

Sima Lin only had time to take a look at the house when she saw a black Labrador walking slowly towards the other side of the house.

Farther away from the door, a white-haired old man stood erect and looked at them with a kind smile.

Sima Lin felt that Ning Zimo's pace was obviously much faster, so she hurriedly followed.

"Richard...Richard."

"Ning, good boy, you are finally here."

Richard Bing (Ri·Bing) looked at Ning Zimo with a smile, and his eyes followed his clenched hand and extended to Sima Lin's face.

Looking at Sima Lin with a smile, Richard said amusedly, "I have known Ning for many years, and this is the first time he has held a girl's hand to visit me."

Suddenly thinking of Dong Qianqian and Tang Ruiwen, Sima Lin blushed and nodded to the old man and introduced herself.

After Ning Zimo finished introducing Richard, the Ladorado named Richard came up again.

Richard looked at the dog squatting in front of Sima Lin and said with a smile, "Richard heard Ning's voice on the phone in the morning, and he complained a few times. Now that you are here, his attention will be

Transferring it to you has saved Ning a lot of trouble."

Sima Lin bent down and touched Richard's head, "It looks like he's quite old."

"He's not young," Richard laughed. "According to our human age, he is already over 100 years old."

"In one year, you will be 100 years old." Ning Zimo smiled.

Sima Lin was stunned when she heard this, and then she was surprised that the old man was in good spirits.

Seeing her surprise, Richard just smiled. Immediately, he glanced at the two cars not far behind the two of them, "What's the matter? We haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and your travel specifications have become the same as before.

Is it different?"

"In business, we encounter people who can't predict the bottom line. Naturally, the people around us must ensure their safety."

Upon hearing this, Sima Lin looked at Ning Zimo worriedly, but saw him shrugging with a relaxed expression.

The old man was used to Ning Zimo's style, so he just asked, "What about them?"

"We can enjoy your hand-brewed coffee together."

"Hahaha," the old man laughed and waved, "Come in, young people, my house has not been so lively in a long time."

Seeing him turning around and his last glance falling on the hands held by the two of them, Sima Lin suddenly blushed again and quickly opened Ning Zimo's hand and said, "Let me help you."

…

It's still black tea and coffee, but because of the large number of people, the usual Italian style has been made into hand-brewed drinks for sharing.

Ronan watched his boss take the cup leisurely, while still holding the paw of the dog named Richard.

He could tell that his boss must have been to the old man's place several times. The two people with a huge age gap even gave him the feeling of being an old friend.

When he took the coffee from Sima Lin, he was still curious about the old man's identity.

He just heard that this old man was about to be 100 years old!

While he was curious, the old man was already leaning on the lounge chair with a cup in hand.

"Ning, what are you planning to do by coming here with such force this time?"

"Come to see you and report my results to you."

"Ha!" Richard showed interest and leaned forward, "Is there anything else you need to report to me?"

Ning Zimo smiled, "I borrowed your last name to develop a product."

Sima Lin looked over curiously.

What did Richard do when he borrowed his last name from Zimo?

Unexpectedly, while she was curious, Ronan stood up suddenly.

"Mr. Richard Bean?!"

"It's Richard John Bing." Ning Zimo smiled at Ronan, then turned to the old man, "Just today, Bing search engine has completed the final preparations before going public.

This search engine named after your surname has been operating with the mission of 'curiosity' for five years. This time, I am officially here to report to you."
