Chapter 45: The Future

The sky is clear and blue.

Guangzhou, beautiful and beautiful.

Baiyun Mountain, the mountains are stacked and green, and the greenery is verdant.

Looking at Yuefeng, climbing to the top floor, on the balcony on the fifth floor, there are only two people, Xu Xincheng and Lucy.

Xu Xincheng looked at Lucy, she sat upright, silently looked into the distance for a while, and then lowered her eyebrows, and like those three nights, she entered a state of meditation and meditation, and entered a state of meditation and meditation.

However, unlike those three nights, Lucy at this moment is as quiet and elegant as a deep valley orchid, as clear as a clear sky and a bright moon.

He didn't disturb Lucy's meditations, and as he had done for the other three nights, he was quietly by her side, quietly guarding her.

He also sat upright, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him, which was the city of Guangzhou that he was familiar with.

At this moment, all the bustle and hustle and bustle in the city, all the bustle and troubles were far away from him, far, far, far away like the white clouds fluttering in the sky......

I don't know how long later, Xu Xincheng faintly heard a brisk birdsong in the distance. The sound was melodious, fresh and pleasant, and it woke him up from a quiet and clear world, and he slowly opened his eyes, shook his head slightly, and came back to his senses.

Only then did he realize that just now, he had entered a deep meditative state, and in the past two or three years, he had tried to meditate from time to time, but he had never grasped the essentials, and this was the first time he had truly entered a meditative state of emptiness.

At this moment, he felt an unprecedented tranquility in his heart, and his mind appeared an unprecedented clarity.

Xu Xincheng shook his head slightly, took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and slowly turned his head to look at Lucy.

She was smiling at him and said, "Steve, thank you for being with me to see the beauty here." Her smile was full of sincere gratitude.

He was momentarily moved to speechlessness.

Lucy just said that she had been here alone before, so bringing him here today represents Lucy's great trust in him. Besides, he saw such a beautiful scenery today, and the person who should be most grateful should be him, but it was Lucy who thanked him.

Xu Xincheng hurriedly returned a smile full of sincere gratitude, and said gratefully: "Lucy, this is the first time in my life that I have seen such a beautiful scenery, and I will tell you the truth, I have just entered a state of deep meditation for the first time, so I should thank you." ”

Lucy smiled and refilled the tea for the two of them leisurely, then looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Steve, can we talk about something deeper and more serious?"

"Absolutely. He replied.

"The topic is about the future. ”

"Future?"

"Yes. There are many topics to talk about the future, and there are many areas that can be covered. Today, we're just talking about the future of AI. ”

"Good. ”

"First of all, can you ask why you chose to work in the AI industry in the first place, and how did you get there?"

These two questions are too easy, Xu Xincheng said without thinking: "I have had two dreams since I was a child: first, to get out of my hometown, out of that 8th-tier city, out of that small world, to go to the outside world, for my parents to win a place for themselves in this big world, so that my parents can live a decent life, and second, to work in the AI industry and make a difference."

About the first dream, I said it before. And the second dream, it dates back to my fifteenth birthday. When I woke up that morning, my mother gave me a copy of A Brief History of Artificial Intelligence as a birthday present, and as soon as I took it, I immediately read it with love and finished it at 10 o'clock that night.

At that time, I was only a junior high school student, and I didn't understand a lot of the content in it, but from that day on, I developed a strong interest and enthusiasm for computers and AI, and from the next day, I began to read all kinds of books and materials related to computers and AI that I could find, and by the time I was a sophomore year of high school, I decided to work in the AI industry in the future.

The major I enrolled in college is English instead of computer science or other AI-related majors, because I know that I must learn English better, only in this way can I better realize my first dream, and can I better realize my second dream, because only by learning English well, I can better read the original foreign English scientific research works related to AI in the first time, consult the latest foreign scientific research materials, and communicate directly with foreign AI industry professionals.

Towards the end of my junior year, I saw a news report on Hongfei's creation of an AI division on the Internet, and I immediately found their job advertisement, submitted a resume, and attached an enthusiastic cover letter.

In the letter, I said that the job opportunity was my dream career, and in the letter, I wrote about my experience on my fifteenth birthday, the moment when that dream began, and how I voraciously studied and read all the books and materials related to computers and AI from that day on.

Later, Manager Zhang from the Human Resources Department told me that it was my cover letter that moved her and prompted her to decide to let me, a candidate who had not even finished her junior year and had a completely wrong major, pass the audition and enter the interview stage.

The interview is divided into three rounds, and the competition is extremely fierce, which can be described as one in a hundred. The day after the third round of interviews, Manager Zhang personally called me to inform me that I had successfully passed the interview and was hired as a reserve cadre.

That night, I couldn't sleep all night with excitement, and I was thrilled with this opportunity because I knew that with this job, I would officially enter the AI industry, and the journey to achieve my second dream had officially begun, and I would give my all to achieve my dream of making a difference in this industry.

I'm so excited and excited because I know that AI is an industry that can really change our world. ”

"You're right, AI is an industry that can change our world," Lucy said seriously. ”

She paused, looked at him very seriously, and continued: "Recently, my company has been negotiating a large AI project, and is preparing to invest in and launch this project, you have a lot of knowledge about the AI industry, I have a few questions about artificial intelligence, I would like to ask you, I want to hear your thoughts and opinions." ”

Xu Xincheng hurriedly said: "Don't say the word "ask for advice." I'm new to the industry and can only answer as best I can. ”
