Chapter 15 Toast without eating or drinking
This level is ultimately unavoidable, although it has been two days late.
The third day after the forum of Pan Wang Daguan was the time when the "Dream True Magic Mirror" was officially launched. Zhang Zhicheng also invited Xia Ming to the press conference to help the platform. Of course, Xia Ming had no time to go, and he was undergoing the three trials.
"The funding problem has been solved..."
In Professor Xu's office on the second floor, Xia Ming was surrounded by Professor Xu, Tang Xiaotang and Lin Cheng. Tang Xiaotang reported to Professor Xu about the progress of the cooperation these two days, but his eyes were always on Xia Ming. Of course, it was not about the endless affection, but about confusion and suspicion.
"I also want to write all of these in the resume, 'proficient computer software and hardware, programming masters, and even though I only passed the Level 4 exam in English, I have a level of Level 8', but I have to believe it."
Xia Ming’s strategy to conceal the existence of R3AI is very simple: we just teach ourselves, whether you believe it or not, I will say that anyway.
Of course, the actual rhetoric needs to be polished, so his explanation is quite convincing. He was a journalist at Yanhua University and claimed to be a programming expert. Such a contrast is not cute. Whoever reads the resume, the first impression is that "this kid can really brag."
Professor Xu put down the materials in his hand and looked very serious: "The political review report from the school security department was given to me yesterday. Xiao Xia, your family and your learning experience are all fine. The problem is..."
Xia Ming's heart was shocked, political review! He really went to check his own family.
"The problem is character! The research of the institute is only theoretical and cannot be said to be very sensitive. We never care about any academic spies. In fact, there are really academic spies, which also means that we are valued. Just like this time, it is not Xiao Xia, your cooperation with Mengzhen Company, our institute can't even get to the eyes of those people."
Professor Xu's face was filled with dissatisfaction: "Xiaoxia, what are your abilities? Just explain them clearly when you enter the research institute. What are you doing for hiding? Isn't this just for nothing and make people doubt you? No matter how much you help, why do you keep believing in you?"
Professor Xu's question is directly at the heart of the people, and Xia Ming doesn't know how to answer.
"Xiao Xia must be covered up her thoughts, otherwise she will be laughed at. This is also human nature."
Lin Cheng was talking to Xia Ming, but the sudden chill on his neck made Xia Ming feel that this was not helping him, but cheating him.
It’s not possible to use the ultimate move. Xia Mingxin made a fuss: “Professor, I remember that I actually wanted to leave that day. Didn’t Uncle Tang not want to keep me at first?”
Professor Xu looked at Tang Xiaotang with a deep look. Tang Xiaotang looked at the ceiling, but the faint blush on her cheeks revealed her guilt.
"Professor, I didn't deliberately hide it from everyone. I'm working hard on my senior brother and uncle." Then Xia Ming began to seek credit, and Professor Xu and Tang Xiaotang nodded subconsciously.
This is indeed undeniable. Xia Ming and Lin Cheng stayed for five days last week, and the previous two days were busy day and night, and they completed the architectural transformation of the peripheral computer room in advance. This is what everyone in the institute saw. At the Pan Wang Daguan meeting, Xia Ming made great contributions, not only solved the funding problem, but also found an academic cooperation unit.
Seeing the atmosphere ease, Xia Ming struck while the iron was hot: "The matter of Mengzhen Company really relies on the inspiration of the institute and the guidance of the senior brother. I am too selfish on this. Professor, if you think it is inappropriate, I will change the agreement with Mr. Zhang now, and the profits will belong to the institute!"
Professor Xu shook his hand repeatedly, and Tang Xiaotang gave him a fierce look: "You are shameless, I want it. That night, I made it very clear in front of so many people. The institute will not be greedy for your little money! But Lin Zi, I think you have to pay someone’s consultant fee!"
Lin Cheng also shook his hand: "I'm embarrassed to take this money."
There is no need to take this money because there is other money. Xia Ming and he are already partners. After polishing and encrypting the power-saving app, they were handed over to Li Diluo to operate. Although they were not clear about Li Diluo's ability, Xia Ming found an advisory group and with those people to help, it would be fine to earn one or two million.
Lin Cheng and Xia Ming have a tacit understanding of this matter, and technology has nothing to do with the research of the institute, so there is no need to say it here. From the perspective of hindsight, it is not that Xia Ming dragged Lin Cheng down and formed a key move for Xia Lin Group in the institute.
So Lin Cheng consciously fulfilled the duties of his party members and said something that surprised Xia Ming, but was also looking forward to it: "I think Naruto should be transferred to the core research group. With him in mind, the software can speed up a lot of progress."
Professor Xu and Tang Xiaotang were silent, and Lin Cheng emphasized his tone: "I need an assistant like Naruto!"
Professor Xu said: "Let's think about it."
When Lin Cheng and Xia Ming left the office, Professor Xu asked Tang Xiaotang: "What do you think?"
Tang Xiaotang still didn't speak, Professor Xu said again: "At first, he couldn't get into the interview list, you insisted on him. I can't ask if you have any ideas. If you have any decision, I would advise you as my uncle. Wait a little longer, Xia Ming, this kid, is hard to see."
Tang Xiaotang said laughingly: "Professor, what are you thinking? I'm not..."
She sighed again: "He is indeed helpful to the research for the core group, and I don't object to it."
Xia Ming got off work early today. He received a notice from joining the core research group. This news would be more than Zhang Zhicheng's purchase of the authorization of not providing the same encryption service within the second half of the year. This means that he has officially entered the palace of scientific research. He can straighten his waist in front of Li Diluo and say, "My ideal has been changed. I am a man who wants to be a great scientist! Because now I am a scientist!"
Xia Ming ran out of the campus all the way. He had been running all the time. He wanted to figure out what was related to running and even physical exercise on R3AI, but he was so busy that he couldn't care about it. However, this time he was just a simple running, and it seemed that he had changed a little, at least his lung capacity had increased a lot.
As soon as he left the school gate, he was stopped by two people wearing sunglasses and suits. Behind them was an extended expensive sedan. The otakus like Xia Ming knew something about Land Rover, and he couldn't see what brand of the clam shell spirit on the front of the car was.
The car door opened, and there was a person in the car that Xia Ming had only seen three sides but was already very familiar with, Yang Shengtang!
Yang Shengtang waved to him, Xia Ming thought about it, but he got in the car.
Yang Shengtang handed over a glass of champagne: "I apologize for my misogynistic apology in Panwang Grand View that day..."
Xia Ming took the wine, but didn't drink it, and said lightly: "It's easy to say."
"I'm afraid there is something wrong with drinking?" Yang Shengtang's eyes slipped over and there was a hint of contempt: "Sometimes my eyes are not very accurate, and my mind is fine."
That's right, it's not worthy of being a noble person like you.
Xia Ming said in a tone of a country bumpkin buying a city household registration: "There is no need to go around with me as a scientific researcher. Just tell me if you have any questions."
Yang Shengtang's eyes twitched, took a deep breath, and expressed his intention: "Since you are Xiaotang's assistant, you should know the relationship between me and Xiaotang. To be honest... Some problems have occurred between her and I. Today I will look for you. In addition to apologizing, I hope you can help me."
Yang Shengtang's low posture surprised Xia Ming. It seemed that this man's dual commerce was still saved.
"Xiaotang is indeed a genius, but she is a woman after all. Strictly speaking, she is just a child. She doesn't realize that in addition to her interests and hobbies, she also has responsibilities. Speaking of this, it's a pity. Do you know that Xiaotang's parents both died in an accident last year?"
Yang Shengtang was a little sad, and Xia Ming also felt a little sad, as if he had heard someone talk about this.
"Xiaotang's father, my father, and Professor Xu are not only classmates and friends, but also like-minded partners. In the career they started, Elliot is just a small role at the front desk. After Xiaotang's father passed away, the position was left to her. She has been very outstanding since childhood, and we all believe that she can take on such a responsibility."
Yang Shengtang turned his wine glass and looked directly at Xia Ming. Xia Ming didn't say anything, but nodded and signaled to continue.
"But she has focused on irrelevant scientific research and created a living artificial intelligence? Only those science fiction fans believe such nonsense! But this is not her fault. She was just bewitched by Professor Xu. Professor Xu has become obsessed with it. Do you know why he is not doing research in the United States with better conditions? Because his research not only does not receive our support, but also the academic community there, so he came here."
When Yang Shengtang talked about Professor Xu and the Institute, Xia Ming felt that he should make a statement: "Mr. Yang, as a member of the Institute, I have heard enough of the arguments of laymen like you."
"Outsider? Ha..." Yang Shengtang argued: "I am indeed an outsider, but there are so many scientists and geniuses in the United States, and they are all outsiders?"
"The setting of the ultimate goal is different from the actual research, and of course the direction is the same." Xia Ming only issued a statement and was too lazy to do popular science.
Yang Shengtang did not continue on this topic: "Even if it makes sense, it is not worthy of Xiaotang at all. Shouldn't her genius and her beauty have a broader stage?"
Yang Shengtang's words were a little sincere: "She is still young and is still very rebellious at heart. She doesn't like to listen to my words. You are about the same age as Xiaotang, and she should listen to your words. I hope you can let her see more of the outside world and let her understand how wonderful the outside world is. Horse racing, yachts, culture and charity have so many places that can make her show her talent and glory. I will arrange specific things, so you persuade her to get used to these lives little by little."
"This is also good for you. I know you really made a lot of money by dreams, but for our world, status brings money, and such status cannot be exchanged for money, let alone your little money..."
Yang Shengtang said in a sarcastic tone: "You should know that Person is the guy who made the game "Minecraft". He sold the game to Microsoft, with a net worth of more than one billion dollars, and could buy a Beverly Hills mansion, but he was not happy at all because he couldn't squeeze into our world. In front of us, he was always a country bumpkin."
He looked at Xia Ming and said in a deep voice: "In Plato's ideal country, the philosophical kingdom ruled the world, and in reality, the ruling the world is people like us, scientists? They have always been servants, and can only kneel at our feet and chase the apples we threw out."
Xia Ming was silent for a while before speaking: "I thought about what kind of person she is just now. Then I found that she is the most beautiful only when talking about science, research, the essence of this world, and how to transform this world. At that time, she was completely a queen, and people couldn't help but want to worship her!"
He looked at Yang Shengtang with pity: "People like you may still rule the world, but you didn't hear outside the window..."
The words were interrupted by the ringtone of the cell phone. Xia Ming saw that it was Zhang Zhicheng, and ignored Yang Shengtang and went straight. The next second, he kept bringing the cell phone from his ear, and Zhang Zhicheng's roar made his eardrums hurt.
"Three hours, the Android and iOS payment rankings are the first in both the first place! Xiaoxia, we succeeded!"
The reason why Zhang Zhicheng brought Xia Ming was not because Xia Ming worked overtime to get the anti-cracking protective case for Android and iOS, but because Meng Zhen’s publicity team took advantage of the gimmick created by Pan Wang Daguan to directly use the “uncrackable black technology” as a promotional point, which not only attracted a lot of attention, but also made a certain fact that he earned enough money and silver when listening to Zhang Zhicheng’s excitement.
Turning off his phone, Xia Ming continued, "You didn't hear the sound of wind and rain outside the window. The world is about to change. People like Xiaotang are holding ropes, waiting to ring the death knell of the old era.
Xia Ming's tone was very sincere: "You also know that there was a problem with Xiaotang, but you don't know where the problem is, let me tell you..."
He looked directly at Yang Shengtang and suddenly felt that the "discrimination" in Tang Xiaotang's dictionary was also included in his own dictionary. Now he is discriminating against Yang Shengtang. In a sense, people like Yang Shengtang are like ants in front of him and Tang Xiaotang.
His words made Yang Shengtang's expression collapse instantly: "You never realized how humble a mortal like you is in front of Xiaotang."
"Queen...Xiaotang..."
Yang Shengtang muttered for a while, his eyes became sharp again: "I really didn't expect that you are still such a person who doesn't know how to be tall and strong! Xiaotang is something you can call, and is it that you are qualified to pursue?"
This... you really misunderstood me, Xia Ming smiled bitterly, but he didn't want to explain, and he had no obligation to explain to Yang Shengtang.
Yang Shengtang could no longer maintain his gentlemanly demeanor and said with a stern face: "If you don't want toast, you will be punished with a decisive way? Do you think you can just hide in the research institute and hide behind Xiaotang..."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Ming drank the glass of champagne in one gulp, and then was stunned, as if he had just heard Yang Shengtang's words, scratched his head and said, "I'm thirsty, sorry, I don't mean that."
What does that mean?
Of course, the conversation couldn't continue. After getting off the car and watching the lengthened sedan leave, Xia Ming was a little regretful. He should ask Yang Shengtang what brand this clam shell elf logo is... Mobile phone users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
