In the afternoon, the headquarters office building of Times Weekly in Manhattan.

The little secretary hurried to the door of the bathroom: "Ms. Elena, Ms. Wang has arrived first, are you still okay?"

"What what? Wait a minute!"

There was a rustling sound, followed by the sound of running water, and Elena rushed out of a squatting seat in a hurry: "Miss Wang has arrived? Didn't you say two o'clock in the afternoon? It's still half an hour away."

Saying so, but she hurried to the makeup mirror first. Forty years old, but as a senior editor of Time Magazine, Elena can be said to be a typical successful woman. Wearing an elegant Chanel suit and spraying Chanel No. 5 perfume on her body, even if the interview subject arrives early unexpectedly, she must first tidy up her golden hair and gem-studded collar, and must not appear disheveled in front of each other.

"Because Miss Wang said..."

Elena's little secretary couldn't laugh or cry: "She has been to Manhattan so many times, and today she took the subway once in a while, and it turned out to be many times faster than taking a taxi, so she didn't know the time."

"Ground, subway?"

Flipping through the Hermès bag with hands and feet, Elena quickly touched up her makeup after washing her face: "Taxi? This kind of reason is okay? Well, for an interview, Manhattan, transportation, it is really the fastest, and it is not Blame her... for leaving!"

After completing complex actions such as applying foundation and eyeliner in just half a minute, Elena walked out of the bathroom quickly.

"Interview draft, yes interview draft...Scott! John! What are you doing in a daze, hurry to the reception room, Miss Wang is here early!"

The sound of high-heeled shoes clicking quickly passed through the office area, and the two young men who were still drinking coffee hurriedly put down their cups and stood up quickly: "Oh my god, isn't there still half an hour left? Why are you here early?"

I was in a hurry. After all, the interview was not just for the reporter alone. After that, there was also a series of work such as taking pictures. When they were busy, the colleagues around them all gloated: "Hey, you should pay attention to your image, and spray on the cologne quickly. It has been many years since I have had the opportunity to interview a beautiful girl, you have to grasp it !"

"Oh shit, that's just a middle school student!"

"No no, what's the matter with the middle school students? I'm not very old, so I can wait... Alright Elena, let's go right away!"

Because of someone's early arrival, the interview team was almost in a hurry to prepare. In fact, this also shows the work intensity of "Time" Weekly. Just half an hour in advance can make people feel rushed. If it is a company with little business, I am afraid that everything will be prepared slowly three days in advance, right?

Then, the door of the reception room was opened.

As soon as she walked in, Elena's eyes lit up.

The girl was wearing a white lady's suit from an unknown brand, and the dark one was a style she had never seen before. Although not well-known, you can tell at a glance that it was made by a famous artist. The slender suit pants are tailor-made, which perfectly complements the girl's slender legs. The neutral style similar to Armani makes her taller and taller.

Wearing a tie at the neckline, with black hair coiled behind his head, it stands to reason that this kind of transgender attire for a small adult would be ridiculous on an ordinary girl. But when this outfit was put on the girl in front of her, Elena held her breath.

"Hello?"

"Ah, ah... hello, Miss Wang."

Elena was stunned for a moment before she realized, she quickly shook hands with Alice and said, "I'm your reporter Elena, can I call you Alice?"

"Of course, please sit down."

Alice waved to the seat beside her, as if she was the owner here.

Elena sat on the seat, and the two assistants beside her immediately set up the tripod and got ready to take pictures.

"Alice, I was a little surprised when I received the notice. I didn't expect you to arrive early."

As soon as she sat down, the interview mode started. Elena took out a pen and paper, and said by the way: "I heard that you used to take a taxi when you came to Manhattan, did you just change to the subway today?"

Alice glanced at the pen and paper in Elena's hand: "After all, I'm from Los Angeles, and New York is the big apple on the east coast. Wouldn't it be a pity if I walked underground every time I came here? Manhattan is so bustling." place, you should take a taxi to tour it.”

It is easy to meet someone who knows how to cooperate. Seeing that Alice has entered the state of being interviewed immediately, Elena quickly recorded it cheerfully: "So, you are also very interested in New York, so as a Cisco Systems company The boss of Microsoft, a shareholder of Microsoft, a partner of DreamWorks, and you who have published two sets of books in Bantam, do you plan to expand your business to the east coast?"

"If there is a chance, of course I will."

Alice first gave a satisfactory answer to the question, and then smiled lightly: "But I said Elena, is it really okay for us to ask and answer in such a rhythm as soon as we come up?"

The two assistants immediately laughed, and one of them fiddled with the reflector and said, "Yes, yes, Elena, we are just getting busy, please slow down."

Elena also laughed, no one knew, but the moment she entered the room, she was really affected by the neutral aura on Alice.

At this moment, he caught sight of Alice's suit, and a chatty topic naturally came up: "Alice, can you introduce us to today's clothes? How did you think of wearing such a... so cool suit? "

The suit is a completely slim fit style, coupled with Giorgio Armani-like androgynous specific styles, it is really a famous designer at a glance. In addition, Alice's brows have a heroic beauty, and now she has a side-cut hairstyle. It can be said that even a forty-year-old woman, Elena, has to be intimidated by the girl's temperament.

This is really strange, after all, the other party is only a fourteen-year-old girl, but with such a suit of clothes, Elena really can't compare her with ordinary people of the same age.

Just look at the two assistants I brought with me now, if it weren't for the fact that everyone usually interviews celebrities, after all, they have a wide range of knowledge, they might have to put Brother Zhu's face on the show.

Faced with the problem, Alice did not sit with her legs slanted like an ordinary girl, but spread her legs apart like a boy, put her elbows on the armrest of the sofa, and clasped her hands together.

"Well, Elena, in fact, apart from the identities you mentioned, I'm also a major shareholder of a clothing brand."

"You are in the clothing brand industry, not the clothing processing industry!?"

Elena recorded it in surprise, this is a real big harvest. Unexpectedly, the IT genius girl that people think of, in addition to having both arts and sciences, and can write scripts and novels, has also become the founder of a clothing brand! ?

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just a shareholder, and someone else is responsible for designing the clothes."

"Understood, so which brand is the suit you are wearing now? What's its name?"

"It's named after my brother and sister's name combination, Oscar \u0026 Hannah, but our company's current main market is in China, and you can't buy it here in the United States."

Elena now only feels that her hand speed is not fast enough, because there are so many things she can write: "It is a lucky pair of brothers and sisters to have a sister like you, but why do you want to put the market in China? "

"As an emerging brand, it is unwise to seize the mature European and American markets with other seniors. On the contrary, China, which has just reformed and opened up, is still a fertile ground for the clothing industry. As a Chinese, I have the responsibility and obligation to invest gone."

This is a very convincing reason. As a senior editor of "Time" magazine, Elena herself knows that since 1978, great changes have really taken place in China. Not to mention, last year's Person of the Year, isn't that the leader from that country? Moreover, he was first printed on the front page of "Time" in 1978.

It was an unexpected surprise that a new career of the interviewee was discovered so easily, but the planned interview content cannot be stopped. After Alice briefly introduced the establishment of "Oscar \u0026 Hannah", the topic turned to the real point.

"Genius exists in many industries, and as a new industry, the programming field is dominated by young people. As people from English-speaking countries, we have an advantage in programming..."

"You ask me whether programming will be replaced by Chinese? Haha, isn't the Chinese input method itself a program? Alphabet languages ​​have unique advantages in the computer world. For pictographs, the keyboard is the most basic difficulty, isn't it? ?”

"Windows 1.0 was developed by me alone, but the post-maintenance work is also indispensable to the help of Microsoft colleagues, and they are currently developing the second-generation system, which I have not intervened at all."

"Working with Gates has been a pleasure, we have a lot in common..."

"Both arts and science? In fact, this is the result of the balanced development of the left and right brains..."

There is so much to write about about Alice, which is what makes her different from any other interview subject. A fourteen-year-old multi-millionaire, and maybe already has a billionaire net worth, and these achievements are almost all developed by her, and they are still different from the actor who became famous overnight. This alone is enough to make countless media the subject of an article, but Ai Lianna writes these with sore hands, but still clearly realizes that she has seriously strayed off topic.

"So, oh my God, allow me to take a break, I'm kind of tired."

Shaking her hands, Elena smiled wryly, an hour has passed, and the real question has not been asked yet, it is because there are really too many to write. Look, even if she went off topic to such an extent, didn't the editor-in-chief never come to remind her?

"Then take a rest first, don't worry."

From the beginning to the end, Alice was very calm.

"This is the first time that "Time" has interviewed a middle school girl since it was published half a century ago. Even if it lasts until eight o'clock in the evening, I believe everyone will agree."

Elena took a deep breath and sighed softly.

"I wish I had a daughter like you."
