Chapter 1209: Incredible

"Brent, what do you think, what the little girl and our little friend said are true?"
When Tan Zhenhua and Vivian left, Bush asked.
Brent. Scowcroft thought for a while before replied: "I think half of it should be true."
"half?"
"Yes Bush, when Vivienne said that Eric was going to send her an island, I paid special attention to her expression. My feeling at the time was that she was either a very good actor or she Everything that I said came from the heart, it was her true feelings, but I am not familiar with the girl Vivienne. Well, I think Dr. Rice may have more say in this regard."
"Dr. Rice?" The vice president turned to the Stanford University associate professor who was still a little cautious in front of him.
For the first time in his life, he had the opportunity to perform independently in front of such a big man, Condoleezza. Les secretly took a breath, cheered on himself, and after careful consideration of the words, he said: "Mr. Vice President, I basically agree with Mr. Brent's judgment. As far as my personal feeling is concerned, Vivienne should be sincere, she didn't tell lies, but whether that Eric said is true or not, I'm not sure."
"Oh? The reason?"
"To be precise, I have no real evidence, it's just a feeling." Rice replied: "Vivienne is a student of Stanford University, graduated from the business school, and is currently studying for an MBA, the same year as Eric It was registered as a first-year freshman in 1982. To be honest, I didn't pay attention to her at the time, but simply knew that she came from a Chinese immigrant family and she was already in the third generation until she became Eric's girlfriend. "
At this point, Les noticeably paused, and after organizing her language again, she continued:
When she became Eric’s girlfriend, I started paying attention to this girl. To be honest, I didn’t find her What is the difference between other girls of the same age? Although Vivienne is of Chinese descent, it should be the reason why she grew up in the United States. Her personality is obviously biased towards the style of our Americans-straightforward, enthusiastic, and get along well with most classmates It was very harmonious. The roommate Katie who shared her bedroom with her was her best friend. Katie came from Texas and later married Eric’s brother. He became pregnant during school and had to leave school some time ago. I just re-applied for admission, but I heard that she is pregnant again. It seems that Kaidi’s graduation will be indefinitely."
Speaking of this, Les has a smile on the corner of his mouth. I don’t know if he thinks of the awkward expression of that carefree Katie who was just admitted to school, and then found out that she was pregnant again, so she had to run to her again when she applied for a leave of absence. .
With her short hair hanging in front of her ears, Les continued: "With the help of Eric, Vivienne founded the "hyperbolic" venture capital fund. As far as I know, this fund is running pretty well. , I have successfully invested in several projects one after another. However, I guess these projects should be related to Eric. Although Vivienne is still studying for an MBA, I heard that her reputation in the investment field is already very strong. But all this shouldn’t change her character too much. At least I can feel from her speech and behavior. She is still the straightforward girl at the beginning and has not changed much, so I think, what she said just now At that time, it shouldn't be acting with Eric, um, this is my instinct as a woman."
Bush nodded slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he asked: "Then, Dr. Rice, tell me about Eric. What's your impression of him? Someone told me that you are the most familiar in the country. His people."
"Eric?" At the mention of the name, Les' brows suddenly frowned. This time she thought about it longer, as if it was very difficult to find an accurate word to describe this person. , But in the end she still spoke: "Mr. Vice President, I really can't find a suitable word to describe him. How should I put it? Maybe he is the most incredible person I have ever met."
"Unbelievable?"
"Yes, it's incredible." Les said, "Unlike Vivienne, I noticed Eric when he came to register as a freshman on the first day. Mr. Vice President, you know, before him, we Stanford has accepted more than one group of overseas students from China Mainland, but he is probably the first non-China national government sent by us. He received a full scholarship from our school to study in China, and his age surprised me. He is so young, which is completely the normal school age. This is completely different from the students or visiting scholars in their 30s or even 40s that we received before him. Of course, at the time, I thought that this was our US The product of China’s further liberalization of the admission policy for international students. He was just the first lucky person to enjoy this policy. But soon, his series of actions refreshed my understanding."
"Are you talking about the conflict between him and Matthew Mellon."
"That's just the beginning." Les replied, "Looking back now, this incident is actually very suspicious. Why was Eric's very good brother right next to him when he was attacked? Why was he able to do nothing? His brother was only slightly injured? Why did the media of the Democratic camp react so quickly and use this incident to launch waves of public opinion attacks and successfully reverse the unfavorable situation and win After the midterm elections of that year, they successfully extended their majority status in the House of Representatives? And after this incident, I learned that Eric was not a poor third person, as the report said at the time. All countries in the world have nothing but poor students who work hard to study. At that time, he was not as successful as he is now, but he can be regarded as a rich man. He even asked us to get the privilege of only taking exams and not attending classes. Stanford University donated 5 million US dollars and also sponsored a scientific research project that now seems to be very successful!"
"You are talking about the Cisco company." Brent. Scowcroft interjected.
"Yes, the subsequent development is not just a Cisco company. You should all be aware that he invested in SGI, invested in MIPS, and then established a "matrix" laboratory based on these companies. Do you know? Dr. John Reloy Hennessy, the head of the MIPS research team, is now the president of our Stanford University, and Eric is the president’s only doctoral student. To be honest, I have seen it on the Stanford campus Too many geniuses, but I still can’t understand how Eric did all of this. His actions and achievements are seriously inconsistent with his age. No one can guess from his young and gentle appearance that he is doing it. What I think about and what I am doing, so I can only use the word "unbelievable" to describe him this time, but one thing is for sure, Eric is an actor, a very good actor."
George. Bush silently nodded, and then asked after a moment of silence, "So Dr. Rice, do you agree with Brent's "half" conclusion?"
"Yes, Mr. Vice President, I think Vivienne is definitely not acting, but Eric must be!"
