Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: November 9, 2001}

{Location: United States}

Sachs looked at the two figures going out one after another and didn't know what he was thinking of, so he couldn't help but smile. The man next to him followed his gaze curiously, and happened to see the last moment when Li Ying disappeared behind the door.

He couldn't help but sigh, "Youth is so good. When I stay with them, I feel like I am 10 years younger."

Sachs laughed, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Richard, when you took me at McKinsey 6 years ago, why couldn't I make you 10 years younger?"

"That's not the time when you, although young, are already 25 years old. Your plasticity is not as strong as these two 20-year-old guys, let alone as powerful as them." The man named Richard laughed as he spoke.

Sacks raised his eyebrows at his work mentor indifferently, "Richard, Ning won't turn 18 until today."

"18 years old?" Richard's eyes widened, and several people packing things around him stopped what they were doing in shock.

Seeing Sachs nod in the affirmative, Richard suddenly realized, "We brought Li here this time, partly because of the recommendation of her mentor Chris, and partly because she had already shown outstanding performance during her internship.

ability."

"Oh? Chris is a senior partner at McKinsey. Li is not only very capable, but also very lucky." Sachs was also surprised, but then he shook his head, "But Ning is different. No one recommends Ning. He is our

The most unexpected harvest this year.”

After Sachs finished speaking, he briefly described what happened before and after Ning Zimo joined Paypal. Everyone in the McKinsey team was amazed when they thought that many of Paypal's achievements today were made by that young man.

After hearing this, Richard was even more impressed. After a long time, he asked, "So, on the one hand, Ning takes the position of coo because of his really good ability, and on the other hand, it is your PayPal star-making plan?"

"No, Richard." Sachs quickly shook his head when he heard this, and his expression became solemn, "In my opinion, Ning's abilities are more than that, so we are doing our best to give him more room to display."

“Like the ideal team you were looking for six years ago at McKinsey?”

"right."

Sax's decisive answer made Richard tremble.

It took a long time for Richard to recover. He reached out and patted Sachs on the shoulder, "Congratulations, Sachs. I believe in your vision, and I believe that you and your team will be outstanding in the future."

"Thanks, man..."

The sounds of encouragement in the conference room all reached the ears of Li Ying, who was across the door. She stood by the door, and it was difficult to connect the person she heard with the big boy just now.

Does he still have that side?

But what does his dull behavior in front of that punk girl mean?

Li Ying always wanted to laugh when she thought of his always slow reaction.

In California in November, the air was a bit cool in the evening, but pushing the stroller carrying Wei Ni made Ning Zi silently sweat.

"Potato chips! Coke!" Winnie sat in the cart and leaned towards the snack shelf.

Ning Zimo saw the eagerness in her eyes and moved the cart closer to the snack area.

As soon as she got close to the shelf, Winnie excitedly swept down a bag of potato chips from the cart. She looked so happy that she looked like a rich man who had dug up a treasure.

But the thing that made Ning Zimo smile bitterly was right here. What she took were all worthless things. For 10 US dollars, you could buy a bunch of puffed food and fat house water.

"Weini, save your stomach, we'll have red wine steak for dinner." Ning Zimo pointed to the steak that Wei Ni threw to the side of the cart. Who would have thought that after the girl looked at it with disdain, she turned around and hugged the potato.

The film does not play.

"If I don't eat steak, I will hold potato chips, drink Coke and watch a movie. You can't deprive me of my last happiness."

At this moment, Wei Ni, who was holding her chin up in front of Ning Zimo, was not as cool as the usual punk girl.

Thinking that Chen Shijun always proudly said that he had some discs suitable for enjoying with Kelly, Ning Zimo could only overturn his original plan and nodded.

Winnie waved her arms happily, as if she had won a battle.

Dong Dong Dong,

Kelly put the guitar aside when she heard the sound of the door. When she opened the door, she suddenly asked curiously, "Why is it you two?"

Chen Shijun shrugged and said nothing. Pan Yu, who was behind him, raised the bag in his hand and smiled bitterly, "We saw Ning and Wei Ni in the supermarket and followed them back quietly."

"so?"

"Ning pushed Wei Ni and bought a bunch of things in big and small bags. It seems that they are going to have a good weekend for two people." Chen Shijun looked helpless.

"Ning asked for a day off tomorrow, plus the weekend, it will be three full days."

Kelly's eyes carefully examined his face, and after a long time she curled her lips and said, "Your reason for staying the night is really weak."

Chen Shijun rolled his eyes and explained, "Tomorrow is Ning's birthday, so tonight..."

"Wow..." Kelly was stunned for a long time, and then gave up her position, "Then it looks like I can only temporarily take in you two poor homeless ghosts."

"Thank you~~"

Chen Shijun was walking in when Kelly suddenly grabbed him, "You said they won't talk about music all night again, right?"

"Who knows? Pan and I gave up the house for the sake of our two-person world." Chen Shijun curled his lips and said.

Kelly suddenly thought of a possibility and glared at him charmingly.

Chen Shijun suddenly realized what he was doing, and instantly he had a proud expression on his face.

"There is beer in the refrigerator~~" Winnie exclaimed as soon as she opened the refrigerator after entering the door. In the blink of an eye, she excitedly took out a few cans and placed them on the floor.

Ning Zimo, who was playing with the VCDs, took a look and saw that they were Chen Shijun's inventory. On weekdays, he would always go to the supermarket to buy a few dozen to prepare, so Wei Ni, who couldn't buy wine, naturally intercepted them.

Speaking of which, there are still many loopholes in the so-called tobacco and alcohol control policies, and operations like Wei Ni's cannot be monitored.

Chen Shijun was easy to talk to, but Ning Zimo was confused, "Do you want the Coke?"

"No! My agent won't let me touch it, but I'm already 17 years old, and I want to have a taste of it!" Winnie held a few more in her arms in a blink of an eye, her movements were very much like a squirrel.

Ning Zimo was so happy.

"You should listen to them. If you drink too much, your brain won't work and you'll get into trouble easily." Ning Zimo curled his lips.

"It's not outside anyway. Besides, you won't do anything to me even if you drink too much." Wei Ni winked at Ning Zimo, with a confident and "brave" look on her face.

Ning Zimo was a little helpless. This was not caused by him. Ever since that kiss, some of his feelings for his idol in his previous life still made him surrender.

Although they just talked about music that night, when they walked out of the bedroom the next day, they became a couple in the eyes of others.

Before she had time to digest this emotion, the World Trade Center tragedy the next morning became a dark cloud hanging over her head, making her unable to recover for several days.

So, she hid next to him for many days in confusion. Then the two of them were busy separately, so naturally they didn't have much chance to get along.

In fact, other than the occasional couple holding hands, hugging and kissing, they didn't do much else.

But how come his restraint has now become her reliance?

But today, Winnie rushed back from New York to be with him as soon as possible on his 18th birthday.

It is impossible to say that you are not moved!

This girl who is one year younger than him always takes the initiative to take a step forward. What else can Ning Zimo do?

Just like this, the conspiracy succeeded, and he ran away to the sofa with a beer in his arms. He just had to run away one more time because of greed.

Ning Zimo continued to lower his head and concentrate on selecting films, but the few discs he flipped through made him extremely disappointed with Chen Shijun's collection!

That guy often brought these collections to Kelly, euphemistically saying they would enjoy them together.

But what the hell are these?

"American Pie 1"

"American Pie 2"

"Titanic"

"Sensory World"

"Tie, tie"

How full of hormones does he have? Ning Zimo can even guess what he and Kelly are doing when they watch these movies.

It’s really dumbfounding. This is the real version of how you never know what your teammates are doing when you are fighting.

You thought he had stored a warehouse of grain to survive this winter, but when he needed it, he saw a warehouse full of Durex.

At this moment, a slender finger suddenly appeared in Ning Zimo's sight, and that hand led Ning Zimo's gaze directly to "American Pie 2".

"This movie just came out not long ago, I haven't watched it yet."

Ning Zimo turned his head and felt the future diva's expectant face on his shoulder.

"That's it?"

"Hmm..." Her eyes curved like crescent moons, and she raised her eyebrows provocatively, "Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

A rough old man was provoked by a little girl?

I can't stand it!

Ning Zimo angrily pushed the disc into the cabin. As soon as he climbed to the sofa, Winnie, holding a beer and potato chips, came over and sat down.

A can of beer was handed over casually,

"cheers!"

"cheers……"

After taking a sip of cold beer, Ning Zimo didn't feel cool, but instead felt his cheeks warm.

After finishing the two bottles of beer quickly, Winnie's face suddenly turned rosy. Before he could tell whether it was shyness or tipsiness, he inadvertently smelled the intoxicating scent.

Fortunately, the main film has finally begun.

It is a youth comedy that is more funny than sentimental. The plot often makes Winnie next to her laugh out loud.

But apart from being amused, Ning Zimo could only retract his legs most of the time to cover up the tent erected by the plot.

Having endured it until the end of the main film, Ning Zimo was still glad that those little plots did not induce him to transform.

But beside her, she spreads seductive messages, and his tipsy and sharp senses are constantly being impacted by those messages.

"I'm going to change the film."

Wei Ni seemed to sense something and took the initiative to crawl over and choose a new disc. But Ning Zimo vaguely felt that she was using every advantage to spread more information.

When she crawled back, she leaned over with a sly look on her face and whispered softly, "Not bad, quite a gentleman."

"Of course!" Ning Zimo puffed out his chest and patted it twice, forcing down those small thoughts.

But in an instant, her thoughts were confused by her close presence.

Is wine a fine wine?

But Ning Zimo thought it was a devil and torture!

If instead of playing "Titanic", it was replaced by "Sensory World" or "Tie, Tie", Ning Zimo felt that this night would always produce some species changes that often occur on full moon nights.

After turning around and watching this epic movie again, you can always see a different world when you calm down.

The large cruise ship was packed with tourists, and it also carried two people who would never have met.

Then, at the right time, it transforms into various possibilities and an encounter.

So, a man and a woman met here.

Those accumulations from points to lines and then to surfaces,

A new world of two people was born.

When they couldn't help but touch each other, although they could temporarily break away from the original constraints, they could not escape "reality".

Even if you want to rely on a painting or the illusion of fog on a piece of glass to deepen the memory of a certain moment...

Suddenly, the video stopped at the image of a hand sliding down on the misty glass.

While he was wondering, Ning Zimo felt Wei Ni's hands groping for her fingers tightly together.

It seemed like he had been waiting for a century, and her crescent-shaped eyes were like a lake in front of him.

"It's twelve o'clock..."

That suddenly quiet, hoarse and sexy voice seemed to transform her into someone else.

"honey..."

There is a breathtaking electric current in the tone,

Teasing every cell in Ning Zimo's body,

Until every crack in the heart.

"Are you ready to receive your birthday gift..."
