My Age of Investment

  Chapter 69 Non-My Race

  Millie is a reporter for the San Francisco Evening News. When she recently went out to interview several California universities, she heard that many students on campus were discussing a website called Facebook.

  Out of curiosity, she learned more about Facebook.

  It’s a bit interesting to find out that it was founded by Stanford students.

  She continued to dig deeper and found that this website had also received a round of angel investment, and the number of users remained silent, reaching hundreds of thousands.

   not only occupied the campus market of the Ivy League school, but also set off a social storm on campus in California and several nearby states.

  After applying to her superiors, she decided to go to Stanford to interview the student entrepreneurship team.

  Before that, she must first get in touch with the Facebook team and obtain permission for the interview.

  A mailbox was hung up on the Facebook website, and Millie sent an email to this mailbox, self-reported her home, and stated her intentions.

  Kristina was in charge of managing the work mailbox. After receiving the email, she did not dare to neglect, and ran to ask Xia Jingxing for instructions.

   "A reporter wants to interview us?"

  Xia Jingxing did not appear to be surprised. After all, with the increasing reputation of Facebook, it will be sooner or later that the media will pay attention.

   "Yes, the other party is a reporter from the San Francisco Evening News."

  Different from Xia Jingxing’s calm face, the babes seemed very happy.

  In her opinion, this is a good opportunity to enhance fame and brand.

  Although Facebook has also been in newspapers before, they are mostly school newspapers.

  Standing in the spotlight and being followed by mainstream media, this is the first time that Facebook.

  Xia Jingxing is a bit tangled.

  When he wants to come, it's best not to accept any interviews, just awkward development.

  This is also related to his identity, he is afraid of attracting the attention and suppression of interested people.

   But think about it carefully, it must be impossible to hide.

  Fear of a hammer, it's over!

   "Let's reply to the reporter by e-mail, we will accept the interview."

  The foreign girl smiled and nodded, and ran away.

  …………

  …………

  An interview vehicle parked downstairs in Building F of the incubation base, and Xia Jingxing and Christina, who were waiting here, hurried to greet them.

  In the interview car came out of the interview car, an Asian woman wearing professional attire with a capable temperament, black hair and black eyes, twenty-five or six-year-old.

  Millie saw a red-haired girl and an Asian boy standing in front of her, her face was slightly surprised, but she quickly returned to normal.

   "The two must be the founders of Facebook, right?"

   "Yes, my name is Christina, and his name is Darren." The foreign girl introduced with a smile.

   "Hello, my name is Millie."

  Millie stretched out her hand with a smile, and shook hands with the two of them separately.

   After a few greetings, Xia Jingxing and the foreign girl led Millie upstairs, followed by a strong white man carrying a camera.

  "Daren, listen to your accent, are you Chinese-American?"

  As she went up the stairs, Millie asked with a smile.

  Xia Jingxing shook his head, "No, I am a Chinese, a student from mainland China."

  Millie gave an "Oh" and did not continue to ask.

  The foreign girl smiled, "Milli, I think you look like, you should be of Chinese descent?"

   "Yes, I am Chinese American."

  Kristina didn’t notice anything wrong with this statement.

  It was Xia Jingxing who noticed that Millie had emphasized the word "American", which seemed to emphasize something.

  Don’t guess, he knows that this woman must be an ABC.

  AmericanBornChinese refers to the descendants of Chinese born in the United States.

   "Then you should speak Chinese?"

  The foreign girl smiled, “Chinese is too difficult to learn, Dai Lun has taught me for a long time, I can only say "Nihao", "washing"... these simple words."

  Kristina’s weird Chinese emphasized that the cameramen who followed could not help but laugh.

  But Millie didn’t smile, she kept a straight face and said lightly, “I can’t speak Chinese.”

   "You can't speak Chinese? Why?"

  The foreign girl looked dazed, feeling very unbelievable.

   "I am an American, why do I speak Chinese?"

  Millie thought that the other party was mocking herself, so she said that she was not salty or indifferent.

  Xia Jingxing pulled the foreign girl a bit, and signaled her not to ask.

  The foreign girl doesn't know the reason, but Xia Jingxing can know it very well.

  The Chinese like Millie is fully integrated into the United States, except for her skin color.

   does not speak Chinese, and hates everything from China.

  The reason is not complicated. It has something to do with being racially discriminated against and bullied by classmates when I was a child, and still being discriminated against and bullied by my colleagues at work... etc.

  Erase all imprints from China in an attempt to integrate into the mainstream white American society.

  Probably this is the case.

  There are many such Chinese in the United States, and it is this group of people who are most anti-Chinese.

  Xia Jingxing summarized in eight words: forgetting one's ancestors in numbers, and unscrupulous descendants.

  The group stopped talking, and went up to the second floor silently.

  Xia Jingxing opened the office door and a group of people walked in.

   Millie looked at the humble office, which was arranged in a mess, and she couldn't help frowning.

  Especially there are a few disheveled employees who sleep on a camp bed or put their feet on the desk...

   There was even a strange smell, she slapped her nose in front of her nose, "Are you here for the interview?"

"certainly."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “Although the environment is a bit rudimentary, this is our true face and we don’t need to do any beautification.”

  Millie gave Xia Jingxing a glance, and she felt that the other party meant something.

   "Sorry, please come here."

  The foreign girl greeted Millie and the cameraman to walk to the sofa in the corner.

  Looking at the crumpled sofa, Millie didn’t sit down directly, she took out a wet tissue and wiped it several times before she sat down. She only sat in one corner.

  Xia Jingxing is completely speechless, what a strange thing.

  The foreign girl also frowned, this behavior is a bit uncomfortable.

  She glanced at Xia Jingxing, exchanged her eyes, and reached a consensus: end as soon as possible.

  Xia Jingxing called the little dog over, and the three of them sat on the sofa at random and began to accept the interview.

  Millie is still very professional. Although the environment is not good, she still insists on interviewing.

  After asking a few questions about the reasons for the creation of Facebook, the process of her experience, and so on, Millie began to be a demon.

  "Dalun, I want to ask, why did you come to the United States to study in the first place?"

  Xia Jingxing gave her a glance, who was looking at him with a smile.

  "I like the Internet, and the Internet in the United States is number one in the world."

  "What about other fields? Economy, culture, freedom, etc.?"

  Millie smiled faintly, and continued to ask.

   "We are talking about Facebook today, right? Isn't that a long way to go?"

  Millie spread out her hands, "No, our American newspapers are more open and talk freely."

  Xia Jingxing shrugged, "Okay, then I'll talk freely.

  There are too many places in the United States. The first to develop an atomic bomb, the first to enter space, the first to land on the moon, and the world’s most aircraft carriers..."

   "Excuse me, interrupt, the first one to enter space is Gagarin."

  The cameraman couldn't stand it, so he interrupted.

   "Oh, I might have made a mistake. I studied science and engineering. The history is not very good."

  The cameraman smiled, glanced at Millie, and said coldly, "Millie, make progress faster, there are other things."

  The cameraman became angry, and Millie finally converged and stopped being a monster.

   Ended the interview hastily, Millie declined Xia Jingxing’s invitation to stay in the school cafeteria, stepped on high heels, and left indifferently.

  After watching them go away, the Yang Niu glanced at Xia Jingxing, and asked with a puzzled face: "Aren't you from the same race? But why do I feel like she... hates you very much, or has a feeling of being superior."

   "Even you can feel it?"

   "Nonsense, my eyes are not blind." Yang Niu didn't have a good air.

   "By the way, please correct me. She and I are not of the same race."

  PS: Thanks to the book friends 20191019201957804, the head of the European Union, the Big Praise Bread Party, and the Golden Light Man of Thunder for their rewards!
