Chapter 39 – My Old Boss (2/2)

I walked over, and reached out my hand to him, “Mr. Xu, Hello! I am the representative for this cooperation, Liu Lei!”

“Oh? You know me?” Xu Zhongbang looked at me in surprise.

Oh yeah! Xu Zhongbang and I shouldn’t have met in this life, no wonder he would feel so weird.

“Microsoft’s Deputy Director Xu, I’ve seen news about you in the newspapers!” I explained.

Xu Zhongbang immediately replied,” Is that so, I didn’t think Mr. Liu would pay a lot of attention to us, Microsoft!”

There was clearly two layers of meaning to his words, on the surface it pointed to me paying attention to news reports, but underneath it was saying that I was only acting contrarily to Microsoft.

“Nope, nope. I just look at the technological news at times!” I faked a laugh. I didn’t think my old boss in my previous life would one day be standing against me.

“I trust that Mr. Liu already know that we will be introducing Windows 95 next year?”Xu Zhongbang asked.

“Yes, a friend got me the internal testing version,” I said.

“Oh? That’s great, Mr. Liu should have already looked at it right? Our company’s graphical operating system is the most advanced in the world right now, I believe Mr. Liu should understand my meaning,” Xu Zhongbang suddenly said.

What meaning? Arrogance? I intentionally asked in a confused tone, “ Mr. Xu, I don’t quite understand what you meant>”

“Mr. Liu, if the person that developed this system wants to join us Microsoft, we would welcome with open arms, there is no need to choose this sort of method!” Xu Zhongbang said.

Only now did I understand, Xu Zhongbang misunderstood my intention. However, he can’t be blamed, when I was in Microsoft, this sort of incident wasn’t infrequent, people often found certain directors, claiming to have developed the best system or software in the world, in order to catch Microsoft’s attention, and find a job through that. Of course, he may be testing to see my true intention.

“Mr. Xu, I think we should take a look at the operating system then make any further judgments!” I smiled.

“Sure!” Xu Zhongbang entered Songjiang University’s computer suite with me.

I turned on computer 586 that has Shuguang 95 already installed, after the familiar self-checking screen passed, a startup screen that I designed appeared —— a ray of light gradually appeared onto the gray ocean, on it was written a few Chinese characters “Shuguang Operating System 95.”

Actually my startup screen looked like an animation, however the technology used to make the light on the ocean was the same as the Windows startup screen, it’s just expressed in a different way. However mine was more eye-catching.

When it just started, Xu Zhongbang didn’t really want to look, but when he saw the interface that was more beautiful than Windows 95, he couldn’t help but become dumbfounded.

“Please try it, Mr. Xu,” I had predicted that he would have this reaction, hehe, this is an improved version of Windows 98.

Xu Zhongbang used his trembling right hand to hold onto the mouse and opened “My Computer”.

As the deputy director of the Huaxia region, Xu Zhongbang was very familiar with the specs of the Windows 95 that was about to be sold, yet the operating system he was using, surpassed Windows 95 not only by one tier in both the interface and features.

“My god! I need to meet the developer of this system!” Xu Zhongbang said excitedly.

“That is unneeded. The creator is an important official in our country’s Academy of Science, so it would be inconvenient, I believe Mr. Xu would understand the reasoning behind this,” I said.
