Chapter 749
Dominic had mentioned to me before that he was based in Aethelgard p>
“Oh my word, the man taught you so much, and you still didn’t even know his real identity?
What happened next? Did Owen find him for you p>
“Not exactly.
Owen took one look at the phone number and asked me, ‘How do you have Dominic West’s number p>
I immediately asked him, ‘Who is Dominic West? You know him p>
I distinctly remember Owen giving me the most speechless look p>
“What kind of god-tier networking luck is this? I’m so jealous p>
Clara sighed again in awe.
“Exactly! Stumbling into a titan of industry without even knowing it? Ugh p>
“And then? Did Owen tell you who he really was p>
“No, Owen just said, ‘He’s a good friend of mine. As for what he does, it’s not convenient to say right now p>
At the time, I just felt the name sounded faintly familiar, but I couldn’t pinpoint why.
But the more Owen kept it a secret, the more curious I became. Why couldn’t he tell me?
Eventually, I came to Aethelgard and finally met Dominic in person at Owen’s villa, but they still refused to tell me what his actual job was.
I just figured that someone with such elite tech skills must have an insane career. I assumed he was a senior executive at some massive tech firm.
It wasn’t until I moved to the city for college. Owen and Dominic came to pick me up
at the station, and my classmate Harvey Rivers, who was traveling with me, took one look and blurted out, ‘That’s Dominic West p>
After asking Harvey, I finally learned his true identity p>
Both hosts stared with wide eyes, completely engrossed in the story.
“We heard that your computer skills are phenomenal. Did you learn everything from Mr. West p>
“Yes, I learned it all from him p>
“But your major in college is computer science. Is there really anything left for you to learn p>
“Absolutely, there’s so much more I need.
My practical computer skills are solid, but I’ve always just learned whatever I
needed at the moment, so my knowledge is a bit specialized.
It’s only in a university setting that can acquire comprehensive, systematic knowledge and fill in the details I previously overlooked p>
“We heard you mention Harvey Rivers just now. He’s also one of Aethelgard University’s Entrepreneurial Vanguard Award winners, right? Are you two close friends? When did you meet p>
“Yes, we’re very close friends. We’ve known each other since kindergarten.
We were classmates back then, and we still are now p>
“Wow! That’s quite a deep connection.
How many people stay classmates from kindergarten all the way through college? At least it’s a first for us.
When you graduated high school, did you apply for the exact same major p>
“Yes, we applied for the same major. At the time, my good friend Elara Finn also chose the exact same path p>
“Did they proactively match your choices p>
“Yes, because they believed in me. They felt that whatever decision I made was bound to be the right one.
So, the three of us applied to the same school, for the same major, and coincidentally ended up assigned to the exact same class p>
“So, was Harvey’s online education platform influenced by you as well p>
“Yes, I was the one who initially pitched the idea. I thought it was a brilliant concept, but was too busy with other projects to handle it, so I shared it with him. fo
But I didn’t manage anything after that. The fact that the startup succeeded is entirely due to his own hard work p>
“That’s incredibly impressive of him, too.
How many high schoolers could turn an idea into such a massive enterprise p>
“Did his startup capital come from his family p>
“No, it was his own money.
He holds shares in almost every company under my group. Naturally, I hold a portion of equity in his company, too p>
“Then where did the money he initially invested in your companies come from p>
