Chapter 206 Otaku are all orphans
Eduardo was pissed off.
Yes, he is a talented programmer who likes Mark, the short curly-haired guy who has a weird sense of humor, treats himself like a robot when he works, doesn't eat or drink, and lives on Red Bull.
But this does not mean that he will wrong himself and allow the other party to randomly add crimes to him.
"Where do you stand to accuse me, Mark?"
Eduardo said calmly: "I am your good friend, cfo, and partner who founded Facebook... But no matter what my identity is, my private life has nothing to do with you, and you have no right to accuse me of these imaginary crimes." ,."
Mark on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time.
Eduardo has always had a good temper. Although due to his family background, he still has the arrogance of a young master, but in Harvard, a place where talented elites gather, who is not arrogant?He is tactful in communication and has a sense of propriety in doing things, so that almost every student who knows him, most of the evaluations of him are "friendly, gentle, and sincere".
But in fact, that's just an appearance.
He has always been soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and he has his own set of principles and bottom lines in his behavior. Although he will not hurt others maliciously, he will never allow others to bully him.
"Facebook has opened to 34 schools and has nearly 10 users..." Mark avoided Eduardo's questioning, but suddenly reported a bunch of data.
He spoke quickly and in a short tone, as if he was eager to prove something, or to show off something.
"It's really great!" Eduardo was a little puzzled, but he still cooperated with him to change the subject, and the expression on his face eased a lot.
He likes Mark and doesn't want to quarrel with Mark, so he automatically summed up "Mark's unreasonable accusation" just now as "a slip of the tongue after a moment of bad mood". time to destroy everything.
"...Do you want to come to California?"
After talking about the recent development of Facebook, Mark asked again.
Edward hesitated for a moment.
He looked at the sleeping baby Randy, feeling a little complicated.
Recently, while he is busy studying at Harvard, he also has to choose an advertiser for Facebook that can satisfy Mark. He has already worked hard. If it wasn't for Peter's help, he really didn't know what to do for a while. That's it.
Peter inquired about 'the other father of the child' countless times, and didn't completely shut up until he vaguely guessed something.
But Eduardo really couldn't explain what happened that night.
Because, that was really a messy misunderstanding.
To celebrate the initial success of Facebook, he and Mark dated a pair of Asian girls that night.
But in the end, when they opened the room, the four of them took the wrong room card. The two girls slept together, but Mark and himself slept in the same bed by accident. They drank too much, and it was getting dark. Turn on the lights... it's a real mess.
Eduardo admits that he likes Mark, but it never occurred to him to have this kind of relationship with him.
He thought that they would be good friends for life.
After the accident, both of them tacitly 'forgot' about it, and got along as calmly as before.
If this child hadn't come out, Eduardo would have completely sealed this memory in his head and would never take it out for the rest of his life.
But now, Eduardo has a splitting headache and doesn't know what to do.
Logically speaking, he should tell the 'child's other father', but the problem is that he is too rational and doesn't want to destroy the friendship between the two, let alone let the relationship between the two enter an embarrassing situation.At the same time, this will actually make the existence of the child embarrassing... Two fathers who are not "in love" were born because of a misunderstanding. Father, it sounds better.
'The child should be raised by himself! '
Eduardo sighed silently in his heart, and tried his best to politely reject Mark's proposal again: "I will consider it, Mark. But you know, I am here in New York, and I have some things of my own, and, I I will continue to look for suitable advertisements and investors for the website, which will benefit Facebook's profits..."
"Ok, I understand."
Mark, who was repeatedly rejected, hung up the phone without waiting for him to finish speaking.
Eduardo looked at the hung up phone, knowing that Mark might be angry at this moment.
But he was too busy to get away...
On the other side, California.
"Is Eduardo still unwilling to come?"
After Mark hung up the phone, Sean, who had been eavesdropping out of curiosity, interjected from the side.
He is a very admirable entrepreneur apart from his private life.
In Silicon Valley, when Sean Parker is mentioned, people usually have the impression of 'sharp vision and savvy wrist, but life is dissolute and luxurious, without restraint'.
Leaving aside the former, but regarding the latter... Eduardo obviously has a deep hatred.
"Sean is a psychopath."
Eduardo, who seldom speaks bad words to people, once mentioned this to Mark in private.He felt that Sean was delusional and arrogant, and he didn't know what it meant.
In addition, his "drug rumors" also made Eduardo wish to stay away.
But Mark held a different opinion. He felt that Sean's experience and brains were exactly what the company needed. As for personal style, it was not important.
So, before Eduardo knew it, this stylishly dressed man, who walked lightly as if dancing, and had a cynical smile on his face, had successfully joined Mark, a small team in California.
After Mark finished talking with Eduardo, he put his hand on Mark's shoulder familiarly, handed over a bottle of cold beer, and said in a consoling manner: "Seriously, Mark. I think, Edward I'm afraid I can't understand you. He is a traditional businessman, and a businessman only wants to make money. Therefore, in his cement-like head, he can never accept things that are too new, and he can't understand how great Facebook is. business!"
Mark pushed away the beer blankly, ignoring Sean's 'persuasion'.
After a while, he suddenly jumped up from the sofa, crossed his hands behind his back, and paced up and down the room like a wild animal in a cage: "Why doesn't he listen to me? New York has What? Ads? I don't need ads, and Facebook doesn't need ads that aren't cool at all! He likes that New York Spiderman that much?"
Sean shrugged blankly, a little confused about Mark's jumping train of thought.
And, unlike Mark, he didn't welcome Eduardo at all.That's a young master who 'doesn't give himself a good look every time, and wants to drive himself out of facebook'.
At this moment, Mark suddenly pulled a sword out of a pile of computers, cables, modems, cameras, household garbage, bottles, cans, cups, and other debris piled on the floor.
He began to swing his sword in the air, making a whirring sound of piercing the air. From time to time, with one hand behind his back, the other hand raised the sword and thrust forward vigorously, announcing in a menacing voice: "Wait! I will sooner or later That Spider-Man is in prison!"
"What?" Sean really didn't know what superheroes had to do with Facebook.
But now he couldn't concentrate on thinking at all, because Mark's shining sword dangled a few centimeters in front of his nose from time to time.
Backing away in fright, he forced a smile and said, "Hey, Mark, you can choose to exercise outdoors, where there is more space."
But Mark refused.
With a straight face, he began to practice fencing in the room, and swung it around.
"Leave him alone."
When Dustin, Mark's roommate at Harvard and another partner who founded Facebook, walked outside, he pulled the sluggish Sean out of the 'dangerous' room.
He casually explained: "Since the accident in New York, that is, the robot runaway incident studied by the military, Mark has started to practice fencing. Although I think that if he continues to practice like this, he will not be like superheroes. Such an extraordinary skill, but for an otaku, it is not a bad thing to exercise more."
"The incident in New York?"
Sean said in surprise: "I have vaguely heard about this news, but it seems that some government department has put pressure on it. The news has not been clear. It is only said that the robot malfunctioned, and then the sudden riot attacked many innocent people and injured several people... ...Wait, did Mark get attacked too?"
"No." Dustin replied: "Actually, the person who was attacked was Eduardo."
Sean then asked casually: "Oh, how is he, is he injured?"
"No." Dustin laughed.
He also said enviously: "Hua Duo was rescued by Spiderman, and he was hugged and swung back and forth in the air. This is really cool and exciting!"
"Spider-Man saved Eduardo, so why doesn't Mark seem to like Spider-Man?" Sean asked in surprise.
"Um... how do you say it?"
Dustin thought for a while, and vividly made a metaphor: "If you take a beautiful girl out to play, and suddenly someone appears, more famous than you, more handsome than you, and then, a hero before you Save the beauty, what do you think?"
"How can someone be more famous than me than me, more handsome than me? Impossible!" Sean replied narcissistically.
Dustin looked at him speechlessly.
"Wait, what did you just say? Eduardo... equals pretty girl?"
Sean suddenly reacted and repeated in shock.
"Hey man, don't take it so seriously! I'm just, just giving an example."
Seeing Sean's bewildered expression, Dustin immediately burst out laughing, feeling that his example just now was a genius.
Sean continued to maintain a stunned expression.
But Dustin thought it was funny.
He was very proud of himself for being able to bluff this man who was older, mature, and experienced than everyone else.
So, while secretly feeling cool, he made an inscrutable expression, pretending to be calm and concluded: "In fact, Eduardo is not important. "
Looking at the figure of Dustin who left unconsciously after finishing these things; then turned his head to look at Mark who was still in the room, looking like a neurotic, still waving his fencing persistently...
Sean, who has always been bohemian, has a strange look on his face, but somehow feels a sense of superiority in emotional intelligence.
He couldn't help looking around, feeling quite lonely as a master, he couldn't help sighing to himself: "Otaku are all born alone."
The author has something to say: First of all, I'm sorry, I accidentally wrote another chapter of me, and I wrote too much as I wrote it. For those who don't like to read it, forgive me.
Secondly, I don't think anyone will believe the beauty advertisements and part-time job advertisements below, but I still remind you, dear friends, don't believe them, they are all liars.
Finally, a general mention of the progress of the article.
TSN mentioned it at the beginning, and it was already within the scope of the outline I wrote. Although there are a lot of content recently, it has not deviated from the main line, and the Wolves cp is also the same.The protagonist hasn't been online very much recently, but he will still be online later, and he still has a relatively important plot, which will come to an end after he finishes writing it.
At present, my plan is to finish this article in mid-January. This is a more ideal and faster idea, and it may be delayed until the end of January.
