A flight from China to Switzerland takes about ten hours.

Ding Yue and a group of six people took off from Yancheng time at 9 o'clock in the morning and arrived in Zurich, Switzerland, Europe, it was already about 7 o'clock in the evening of Yancheng time.

However.

Since Switzerland is located in the 1st Eastern Zone and Xia Kingdom is in the 8th Eastern Zone, there is a time difference of about seven hours between the two places.

In other words, 9 a.m. in Xia is two o'clock in the morning in Switzerland.

And after Ding Yue arrived in Zurich, Switzerland with his people from Fog City University of Arts and Sciences, it was around twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

"Ten hours of flying, is this Switzerland still daytime?"

After Huang Youjie got off the plane, he was a little confused for the first time.

He didn't take into account the time difference between the two places.

At this time, Xu Bin slapped Lao Huang's head: "You are stupid, don't you have time difference?"

"Yes, yes, forgot. ”

Hearing this, Lao Huang nodded hurriedly.

After sleeping on the plane again, after arriving in Zurich, Switzerland, Ding Yue felt quite energetic.

The problem of jet lag doesn't seem to be a big problem.

The other five were in a similar situation to Ding Yue.

"Principal Ding, I remember that Switzerland seems to be from the East 1st District, and our Xia Country is the East 8th District, which means that there is a difference of seven hours between here and our Xia Kingdom, so the current time is Swiss time...... Twelve o'clock at noon?"

Wen Ruohan counted it seriously.

Ding Yue glanced at Wen Ruohan, this girl looked like she was seriously calculating the time, but she was a little cute and cute.

There is still some distance from the airport to the city of Zurich, but Wen Ruohan has already prepared for it, and contacted the hotel to have a special car to pick you up.

After all, it is a 5 star hotel.

In addition, before the trip, Wen Ruohan had already exchanged a large number of euros for Principal Ding, which could be used for the expenses and shopping in Europe this time.

Soon, the hotel's special car came, a total of two, and took Ding Yue and the six people to the city of Zurich.

Zurich doesn't sound like a well-known city in Europe, and it seems to be less well-known in China than Paris, London, Berlin, Prague, etc.

In fact, as the largest city in the Swiss Confederation and the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of the country, Zurich is also the richest city in Europe, and has been rated as one of the most liveable cities in the world by UN-Habitat for many years.

Here, Zurich is home to the headquarters of more than 120 banks around the world, more than half of which are foreign banks, making it known as the "European Billionaire City" and one of the world's largest financial centers.

After arriving in the city of Zurich, Ding Yue found that it was bounded by the Limmat River, and the west bank should be the old town.

On the east coast is the new town.

The hotel where Ding Yue and others live is located in the new city.

After arriving at the hotel, Ding Yue and the six of them settled in a luxurious five-star hotel, because there was no need to live in the presidential suite, so Ding Yue lived in an ordinary executive suite.

However, the price is not cheap, but this money is nothing to Ding Yue.

"Principal Ding, the suitcase has been put here for you, then I'll go back to the room first. After the secretary Wen Ruohan put Principal Ding's suitcase away, he was ready to leave.

"Okay, you can rest and rest when you go back, but you can get jet lag. ”

Ding Yue nodded.

However, Wen Ruohan shook his head and said, "Well, Principal Ding, I slept again on the plane, and I feel that there is no need for jet lag." ”

As soon as Wen Ruohan's words fell, at the door of Ding Yue's room, Huang Youjie and Xu Bin also came over.

"You just arrived in Switzerland and you don't rest?"

Ding Yue looked at Huang Youjie and Xu Bin, full of energy.

It seems that everyone has slept on the plane, and now in Switzerland, although the time is only 12 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone is not sleepy at all, but very energetic.

The competition time of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest is 2 o'clock in the afternoon of tomorrow Swiss time, so if you continue to sleep and rest now, you may not be able to sleep at night, and it will be difficult to participate in the competition the next day.

Thinking of this, Ding Yue frowned slightly, looked at Lao Huang and Ah Bin, and asked, "Why don't we go out for a walk?"

"That's what I mean!"

Huang Youjie nodded excitedly.

Xu Bin also nodded: "I discussed with Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen, go out for a walk today, rest well at night, and then face the ACM competition tomorrow!"

"Alright, let's go!"

Ding Yue saw that Xu Bin and his computer team had already planned the arrangement, so he immediately agreed to go out for a walk.

It was perfect to wander around for an afternoon and then come back in the evening for dinner and an early rest.

"Hee-hee-hee, do you want a travel guide to Zurich? ”

At this time, Wen Ruohan was also excited, picked up the mobile phone and waved it.

Before the trip, Wen Ruohan had already made a travel strategy about Zurich, Switzerland, and even the whole of Switzerland and Europe.

"Xiaowen, well done!" Ding Yue gave Wen Ruohan a thumbs up.

I have to say that his private secretary is really careful and serious in his work, and Ding Yue can't remember how many times he has praised Wen Ruohan.

When he first asked Wen Ruohan, a student majoring in secretarial, to be his principal's secretary, Ding Yue didn't have much confidence in his heart, thinking that it might take several years for Wen Ruohan to be able to use it handy.

Unexpectedly, it has only been more than a year, and Wen Ruohan is already a mature secretary to the principal.

"Abin, call Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen, let's go!"

And so.

Six people from Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences left the hotel and, under the careful leadership of Wen Ruohan, took the public transportation in the city and began to experience the richest city in Europe and the most livable city in the world.

According to the guide prepared by Wen Ruohan, Zurich's Old Town is a must-see experience, and it can be reached by trolleybus.

"This is Gothic architecture, right?"

Walking on the streets of Zurich's old town, Huang Youjie looked around, and occasionally saw a few European beauties, and the buildings here are obviously different from those in China.

Walking to a building, Lao Huang couldn't hold it anymore, so he quickly called Wen Ruohan and started taking pictures in front of the building.

"Hey, hey, Xiaowen is my personal secretary. Ding Yue glared at Lao Huang and quipped: "I'll charge for taking pictures of you." ”

Lao Huang was already immersed in all kinds of posing for photos, and he didn't pay attention to Ding Yue at all.

Ding Yue found that Zurich's old town is home to traditional artisans and antique dealers, bookstores and flower shops, as well as jewellery and fashion.

Obviously, the best way to visit the old town is on foot, the streets here are not quite the same as those of the cities in China, the ground is paved with cobblestones, you walk through the city, you stop and go in every street, sometimes the streets are very quiet, and in the light of the day, it is really good for posing.

Walking down a street, Wen Ruohan was quickly attracted by a jewelry store.

"Principal Ding, can I go in and have a look?"

Wen Ruohan asked Principal Ding for instructions.

After all, if you go to a jewelry store, only she is a girl, and it will obviously take a little time to visit a jewelry store, so you have to ask Principal Ding if they can wait for themselves.

When Ding Yue heard this, he nodded with a smile.

So Wen Ruohan rushed into that jewelry store.

In Europe's richest city, despite being an old town, there are still plenty of jewellery, fashion boutiques, and well-known brands everywhere, so you should be able to spend a lot of money here.

After about three or five minutes, Wen Ruohan walked out of the jewelry store just now.

"Stopped shopping?"

Ding Yue saw Wen Ruohan who was dejected and asked.

"It's so expensive!"

Wen Ruohan said a sentence that many young people often say in today's society when facing consumption.

"On this trip to Europe, you did a lot of everyone's things, so let's do it, this principal will reward you, you go in and choose a piece of jewelry you like, and I will pay for it. ”

Ding Yue smiled faintly and said to Wen Ruohan.

When Wen Ruohan heard this, his face suddenly showed joy, and he asked in surprise, "Principal Ding, is it really?"

"Uh-huh, when did Principal Ben never deliver on what he said?" Ding Yue shrugged.

"Long live Principal Ding!"

Wen Ruohan instantly rekindled his excitement and joy, and then rushed into the jewelry store.

In the end, Wen Ruohan chose a piece of jewelry worth about 500 euros, which is equivalent to about 3,000 yuan.

When Ding Yue walked into the jewelry store to pay, he realized that the piece of jewelry that Wen Ruohan chose was actually very cheap in this store.

"Wen Ruohan, there is obviously a better one, why did you pick a piece of jewelry for 500 euros?"

After walking out of the jewelry store, Ding Yue couldn't help but ask Wen Ruohan curiously.

In general, in this case, a girl who is more fond of vanity may choose a piece of jewelry that costs thousands of euros or even more.

"I think it's very good-looking, and I like it too, 500 euros Principal E-din, it's very expensive!"

Wen Ruohan said simply and happily.

Ding Yue couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

This girl is very nice.

After taking a walk around Zurich's old town and feeling the alternative cityscape here, Ding Yue and everyone came to the riverside again before they knew it.

This river is supposed to be the Limmat that accompanies the old town.

By the river, there are tourists interacting with the swans by the river, which is quite interesting.

"If you say you lived here, how comfortable would it be?"

"It's the richest city in Europe, and it's not a good place to live without money. ”

"Hahaha, thinking about it this way, in fact, I think the country is quite good. ”

"Yes, yes, we also have a lot of pleasant cities in Xia Kingdom, and there are even better scenery of mountains and rivers, this Zurich, in fact, is just like that. ”

"By the way, Chen Jun, which city do you want to live in in the future?"

"I want to go to Shucheng, where the pace of life is slower, what about you?"

"I want to go...... In fact, I want to buy a villa in a quiet place, and then I usually have nothing to do to do software and write programs, how comfortable it was to live that day. ”

Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen, two computer science students, walked on the banks of the Limmat River and chatted.

"I think Ouyang Chen, your idea is quite good. After Ding Yue heard it, he naturally joined the chat: "Work hard in the future, the money for a villa can actually be earned soon, and when the time comes, you will have your own villa, and the technology of the times is also advancing, and when the time comes, you will work remotely in your own villa and in a quiet environment, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Ding Yue felt that it might not be difficult for Ouyang Chen's wish to come true.

His computer skills are very powerful, Xu Bin told Ding Yue, otherwise he would not have chosen him to form a team to participate in the ACM International Collegiate Programming Competition.

For a powerful computer-based talent like Ouyang Chen, Ding Yue obviously wants to stay and use it for himself.

Later, when he joined his Feiyue Group and developed a powerful software program, it would not be difficult for Ouyang Chen to make money.

"But when I go to work in the future, how can any company let programmers work remotely from home without going to the company every day. ”

Chen Jun shook his head helplessly and sighed.

In China, programmers engaged in the computer industry, in addition to working in the company during the day, working overtime, and returning home at night, may also have overtime at any time, which can be described as miserable.

Working remotely from your own home as you like is unthinkable.

Except, of course, last year's exceptions.

"In the future, in our Feiyue Group, excellent computer-based talents and employees can work remotely anywhere they want. ”

Ding Yue looked at Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen, and said with a smile.

Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen listened to it, and they were immediately full of yearning for Principal Ding's Leap Group.

All students studying at Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences know that Feiyue Group is the group company behind Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, and it also belongs to President Ding.

And the welfare of Feiyue Group is even better to explode, which is also known to many students.

Because the first batch of students to enter the Feiyue Group is the batch of mechanical departments, although they are manufacturing medical and health robots in the Feiyue Group, the benefits are still far higher than those of the same type of mechanical design and manufacturing companies.

"Principal Ding, what you just said, can it really be realized? If you work in our school's own company after graduation, you don't need to clock in from 9 to 5 every day?"

Chen Jun asked Principal Ding excitedly.

Ding Yue smiled calmly and nodded: "That's right, in fact, as long as there is equipment for work like computer programs and software, where is it not the same?"

"Principal Ding, I heard that Feiyue Animation Studio has been on vacation since they finished "Super Marines", and it is still a paid vacation, is it true?"

Ouyang Chen also asked curiously.

The company treats its employees too well, right?

You know, overtime in most companies in China has basically become the norm, and even someone even proposed that 996 is a blessing, and 007 for programmers has long been commonplace.

And the Feiyue Animation Studio, which has been joined by many students majoring in animation at Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, has actually taken a vacation from September and has been repairing until December, which is not too cool, okay.

Feiyue Animation is a department under the Feiyue Group, and it can be seen that President Ding's Feiyue Group is really a good place to go.

It's just that Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen don't know whether President Ding's Leap Group will recruit college graduates majoring in computer science.

"Of course, Feiyue Animation Studio's side is a big success this time, so it's normal to take a vacation for a while. ”

Ding Yue replied, then looked at Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen, and asked, "Where do you two want to work after graduation?"

"Silicon Valley!"

"Zhongguancun!"

For college students who study computer science, places like Silicon Valley and Zhongguancun are undoubtedly the places they look forward to.

"Very good. Ding Yue expressed his appreciation for Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen's employment goals after graduation.

But!

Silicon Valley and Zhongguancun may not be the best places for Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen.

"Are you thinking about staying?"

Ding Yue suddenly looked at the two of them and asked, "The school is also preparing to build its own high-tech industry, and it needs talents in the computer field like you." ”

Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen, just like Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei from the mechanical department, of course Ding Yue had to hold it in his hands.

Such outstanding students will inevitably be technical talents in the computer industry in the future, which plays a very important role in Ding Yue's internal circulation development of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences.

"Principal Ding, what did you just say...... After we graduate, let's stay?" Chen Jun said, his eyes widened when he heard this, "Actually, I am willing to join. ”

Ding Yue couldn't help but glance at Chen Jun.

I didn't expect this young man to be so positive, and it could be seen that he should belong to the kind of "iron fan" of Fog City University of Arts and Sciences.

"I am also willing, in fact, I would like to work with Director Xu on the development of software programs. Ouyang Chen also nodded and said.

Seeing that the two students had expressed their positions, Ding Yue nodded happily and said, "Okay, then I will represent the Feiyue Group in advance, and you are welcome to join." ”

"What are you talking about?"

At this time, after Xu Bin finished teasing the swans by the river, he came over and saw Ding Yue chatting with Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen, so he asked curiously.

"Recruit talent. ”

Ding Yue just responded to Xu Bin's brief four people, and then walked towards Lao Huang and Wen Ruohan: "After walking around the old city, let's go, let's go to today's highlight to have a look." ”

"The main event?"

Xu Bin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and muttered and asked, "What's the big deal?"

"What are we doing?" Ding Yue asked, turning his head and looking at Xu Bin.

"I'm here to participate in the ACM International Collegiate Programming Competition. Xu Bin replied.

"Uh, I mean, we're at Fog City University of Arts and Sciences...... It's a university, but since you're in the richest city in Europe, you can't go to see the university here. ”

"You mean!"

When Xu Bin heard this, his face immediately showed joy, and then he said excitedly: "ETH Zurich!"

Ding Yue smiled slightly and nodded.

"ETH Zurich, what kind of funny is this? Is our Fog City University of Arts and Sciences awesome?"

Wen Ruohan heard the name of the university mentioned by Director Xu not far away, and then couldn't help but ask Huang Youjie next to him.

"Poof!"

As soon as Huang Youjie took a sip of water, he immediately squirted out.

"What's wrong, Lao Huang?"

Ding Yuegang walked over and saw Lao Huang squirting out a mouthful of water, and asked curiously.

"Just now...... Secretary Wen asked, asked ETH Zurich, is there our Fog City University of Arts and Sciences, hahaha!"

Lao Huang really couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Wen Ruohan was at a loss, not knowing what was going on: "Could it be ...... Is ETH Zurich amazing?"

Obviously, Ding Yue saw that Wen Ruohan didn't know ETH Zurich, because the name of this university is really not so easy to remember, compared to Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College, Nanyang Polytechnic, etc., it is really difficult to say.

"Xiaowen, haven't you heard of ETH Zurich?" Ding Yue looked at Wen Ruohan and asked.

Wen Ruohan shook his head very sincerely.

Wen Ruohan can't recognize so many universities in China, let alone universities around the world, but Wen Ruohan has never studied it.

"If you want to talk about the top three schools in Europe, do you think those three can get in?" Ding Yue asked Wen Ruohan again.

"Well, Cambridge and Oxford, these two universities must be okay, right?"

"That's right. ”

Ding Yue nodded.

"Hmm, what about the third one?" Wen Ruohan was stunned, because when it came to the world's famous universities in Europe, Wen Ruohan could only think of Cambridge University and Oxford University.

A smile appeared at the corner of Ding Yue's mouth, he stretched out his hand and patted Wen Ruohan's head, and said, "This third school is ETH Zurich." ”

"So powerful?"

When Wen Ruohan heard this, he was instantly stunned.

This university, which I have never heard of, can be ranked with Cambridge and Oxford?

It's incredible!

"In the QS World University Rankings, the University of Oxford is ranked fourth in the world, the University of Cambridge is ranked seventh in the world, and do you know what ETH Zurich ranks?"

Ding Yue asked with a smile again.

"I know, I know, ETH Zurich is ranked sixth!" At this time, Ouyang Chen stepped forward excitedly and said.

Hearing this, Ding Yue turned his head and glared at Ouyang Chen.

"Wow, sixth in the world!" Wen Ruohan was directly dumbfounded.

This is beyond Wen Ruohan's imagination just now, because Wen Ruohan just heard President Ding say that ETH Zurich can be ranked among the top three in the world in Europe with the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford, so how can it be ranked in the top 20 in the world?

As a result, I didn't expect to rank sixth, which is even higher than the ranking of Cambridge University, which is terrifying!

"ETH Zurich has always been known as the first school in Europe, which shows its strength!"

Xu Bin explained to Wen Ruohan.

"At ETH Zurich, there are too many people who have won the Nobel Prize, the Fields Medal, and the Turing Award, and Einstein graduated from ETH Zurich!" Ding Yue patiently said to Wen Ruohan.

Hiss!

When Wen Ruohan heard this, he couldn't help but gasp.

Who doesn't know Einstein!

Actually graduated from this university?

No wonder this university is so powerful, I actually asked this university just now if it is as powerful as our Fog City University of Arts and Sciences.

It's not a question of whether it's powerful or not, it's just a hanging!

Ding Yue saw that Wen Ruohan was so surprised, and then smiled: "But in the future, our Fog City University of Arts and Sciences may be even more powerful than this ETH Zurich." ”
