Chapter 44 This Is Too High-Profile!
the next day.
Half past nine in the morning.
At the west gate of the Friendship Plaza Commercial Building in the center of Jiangzhou, a long queue had formed early. They were all fruit computer enthusiasts who had heard the news and were preparing to enter one after another to participate in the new fruit product exhibition.
Zhao Yi was dressed in a street stall sportswear and was walking briskly forward. When he crossed the long and narrow queue and passed through the VIP aisle, he was stopped by the staff.
"Are you attending an exhibition?" The security uncle pointed at the queue extending to the square, "Go to the back and queue up."
Zhao Yi dried the personnel ID card hanging on his chest and saw that it read——
Fruit new product exhibition
Special Guest:
Zhao Yi.
The security uncle looked at it carefully several times to make sure it was not an ordinary personnel card. He looked up and down in surprise for a long time before making a 'please' gesture.
There were enough people queuing outside, but not many people inside.
‘Fruit fans’ have to go through a series of registrations to participate in the exhibition, and everyone will receive a personnel card, so naturally it cannot be done quickly.
Zhao Yi entered the mall and saw the exhibition hall on the left. Next to the exhibition hall was a large fruit store.
He did not go directly, but strolled forward.
Suddenly there was an exclamation from the side, "Zhao...Zhao Zhenxi's son!?"
Zhao Yi turned around and saw an acquaintance. She was wearing a dress that reached her knees, a pair of flat sneakers, and her black hair was shining with light.
"Gone with the wind...my dad's boss?"
"You know I'm your dad's boss, but you're still so rude!"
Zhou Qing rolled her eyes, walked over and said with a smile, "When you came in just now, you looked familiar to me. I said I wouldn't admit it, why are you here?"
Zhao Yi took the personnel ID card and showed it to Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing also had one hanging around her neck. She didn't look carefully, but just said strangely, "Why didn't I see you when I was queuing up? I got up early today. I came to line up at 6 o'clock and waited for three hours."
"You're so hardworking!"
Zhou Qing said proudly, "I am a loyal supporter of Fruit Computer!"
Zhao Yi was speechless and said, "You are already a loyal supporter, why would you forget Guoguo's account?"
"What does that matter? Fruit's computers are beautiful, especially the one shown today. I've already spotted it!"
The two exchanged a few words and then talked about Zhao Yi again.
It is really abnormal for a high school student to show up in Jiangzhou three hundred kilometers away without going to school.
Zhao Yidao said, "Isn't this asking for leave? I'm taking a day and a half. My parents must know that I'm coming to Jiangzhou!"
"Right."
Zhou Qing was still a little surprised, "I didn't expect that you also like Fruit Computers and actually asked for leave to attend the exhibition."
"hehe."
Zhao Yi smiled in agreement.
Zhou Qing is the boss of Zhao Zhenxi. She has met Zhao Yi once. Zhao Yi also helped repair the computer. They are both in Jiangzhou, three hundred miles away from home. She will definitely take care of him subconsciously.
Zhao Yi was dragged around and around.
Then he becomes the shopping cart.
Popcorn.
drinks.
Zhou Qing also chose a small telescope, saying that it might not be clear if she was sitting in the back, but a telescope would help her see more clearly.
"Are you here to see a movie or a meteor shower?"
Zhao Yi couldn't help but complain.
When it was close to ten o'clock, Zhou Qing and Zhao Yi went to the exhibition hall together.
The exhibition hall was already overcrowded.
The media who came to interview have all set up their equipment. Most of the people who can enter the exhibition hall are sitting in their respective positions. The hosts and managers who are preparing to give explanations are standing next to the booth, waiting for the time to pass. .
Zhou Qing pulled Zhao Yi forward while looking at the seat number on the personnel ID card.
"Zhao Yi, where is your seat?"
"Go forward!"
"Reached?"
"Move forward!"
"I'm here." Zhou Qing stopped in the third row from the bottom, looked forward and said, "Go and find it yourself in front. I'll give you this can of popcorn and drinks, so grab them!"
"Thanks!"
Zhao Yi took the food with a smile and continued walking forward.
Go again.
Go again!
After Zhou Qing found her seat, she looked up and was surprised to find that Zhao Yi simply walked to the front, walked close to the booth, and sat in the first row?
Can ordinary viewers sit that far forward?
…
Zhao Yi's position is on the right side of the first row.
On the left is a middle-aged man in a suit. He is dressed like a computer seller. He probably upgraded to the 'VIP' level because he sold a large number of products.
On the right is a female reporter wearing a shirt and jeans.
She was holding a pen and notebook in her hand, and kept looking up as if she was recording something. There was a male colleague in the aisle on the right, who was competing with the camera lens.
Zhao Yi glanced at it casually and started eating if he felt it was boring.
Popcorn!
Orange juice!
A crunching sound came from the mouth, and people on both sides looked over at the same time.
Zhao Yi looked around and put down the popcorn a little embarrassed.
This thing is still suitable for the back row!
The man in the suit glanced at Zhao Yi and lost interest, but the female reporter on the right looked at him several times in a row.
The female reporter’s name is Ding Lei.
To be a reporter, you need to have excellent insight. You can tell a lot about a person by looking at his clothes, movements, and expressions, and depending on the occasion.
Ding Lei has always been very confident. She feels that she can read people very accurately, but now she has discovered people who can't understand her.
No more than twenty years old.
Wearing sportswear that sells for dozens of yuan at street stalls, the total cost of the whole outfit may not exceed a hundred yuan.
Juice and popcorn in hand.
Analyzing the above three points, the young man next to you is either an ordinary student, or someone who dropped out of school to work everywhere, and he will definitely not be on par with the 'elite'.
But……
He sat in the special guest seat!
"Is he a family member of a high official? Or is he here on behalf of someone?" Ding Lei pondered carefully.
After thinking for a long time with no result, she simply took out a business card and handed it over, and extended her hand, "Hello, Ding Lei, a reporter from Nanjiang TV Station."
Zhao Yi took the business card and shook hands with Ding Lei, "Hello, my name is Zhao Yi, student."
"..."
Ding Lei also opened her mouth and smiled, becoming even more confused, "Is he really an ordinary student? Why can he sit here?"
The exhibition begins.
The host walked onto the stage and the two of them stopped talking.
The fruit company's new product exhibition in Jiangzhou City is, to put it bluntly, a promotion in Nanjiang Province.
They have held the same exhibition twice, which may sound a bit strange, but is actually quite normal.
This is not more than ten years later, the Internet is not that developed, and the express delivery business has just taken off. Most people still rely on their legs to buy things, especially valuables such as mobile phones and computers, which must be sold in physical stores.
If a fruit company wants to sell more products, it not only needs to transport the products to stores, but also needs to hold exhibitions in various places to promote the brand of fruits. Otherwise, no matter how high-tech the product is, it will be useless if no one knows about it.
The appearance of this MacBook air is full of technology, and its thin and light design attracted countless eyeballs when it first appeared.
The manager who took the stage mainly showed the appearance of the computer and only briefly touched on the configuration.
The last thing is the price--15,299 yuan.
This price is indeed very high, but most people are not surprised because the issue price in the United States is US$1,799, which is equivalent to nearly 14,450 yuan.
After the manager demonstrated the product, he selected some "fruit powder" to try, and then left time for the "technical department".
This was planned.
The fruit company plans to use the name of "rewarding geniuses" to create a big advertisement in Nanjiang Province and even in China.
Cavallero took the stage.
On the stage where everyone is watching, Cavallero's appearance and temperament are by no means pleasing. He is not that generous and calm, and you can tell at a glance that he is a 'technical man'.
When everyone was complaining about the fact that such a 'technical man' was allowed to take the stage at the exhibition, his words attracted all the attention, "In the past month, the technical department of the fruit company has been very busy! Guess what we are busy with?"
"Instead of developing new things or improving our software, we are busy fixing system vulnerabilities!"
"God, as the vice president of the technology department, I never knew that our operating system had so many vulnerabilities. A high school student from China submitted seven of them in one go!"
"Hula..."
There was a commotion in the venue.
After the venue gradually became quiet, Cavalero said fearfully, "Fortunately, he is the only one. If every high school student in China submitted bugs to us, our manpower would be too busy even if it were increased a million times."
"Later, I got to know him, and I was also sure that he was a supercomputer genius. I don't use 'super' to describe him at all. He is only eighteen years old!"
"I wanted to recruit him to the fruit company at that time. He might become the first barrier to safety in the future!"
"But it's impossible, he's still a high school student."
"So, I thought that if he could go to the University of California, he would be able to help us while studying in college, and he could stay in the fruit company after graduation. Unfortunately, he still refused..."
"What a shame!"
"I talked about this with Mr. Jobs, and he said something that stuck in my mind, 'Just because he can't come to the fruit company, we can't ignore his contribution to the safety of the fruit.'"
"He accurately submitted seven vulnerabilities, making our system more secure. We rewarded his contribution, and we decided to give him an additional gift..."
"A bonus of one million yuan!"
"Welcome him!"
"A computer super genius from Zhengyang City, China, who studied at Zhengyang No. 13 Middle School——"
"Zhao Yi!"
Cavallero clapped hard as he spoke, his movements almost hysterical. His eyes were fixed in the direction of Zhao Yidi, prompting others to look over as well.
Under everyone's attention, Zhao Yi stood up in a daze.
He was really confused.
Although I was mentally prepared to be known, this way of appearing... was too high-profile!
