I looked at the man in front of me and asked, "Are you Jack Lodi, the president of this AEF company?" To be honest, I wish none of this was true so I could avoid embarrassment.

Jack Lodi looked at me, nodded, and smiled, "You look hard to believe." But that's exactly what you say. ”

Damn, how can this not be, it's over...... I once said in a lecture that he was ignorant.

"Chengyi-san, is it? I think you had a great talk at the last presentation, and I appreciate your ideas for innovative things. Jack Lodi held out his right hand to me, "I'm glad to have met a student with ideas like you." ”

Fortunately, he was very generous and didn't take me seriously.

The people around me looked at me, and I reached out my right hand and shook his hand. "Mr. Jack, what I said in the last talk may have been a bit emotional. I also hope you don't pay too much attention to it. ”

"NO, NO, NO, CHENGYI, YOU HAVE A VERY REASONABLE POINT, TO BE HONEST, I HAVE BEEN TO PROFESSOR WU'S LECTURE MANY TIMES. I agree with Professor Wu's theory. But I question it in every talk. The purpose is to find young people like you who have a belief in science. Mr. Jack seemed to get more and more agitated the more he spoke.

"Yes, Cheng Yin, you don't know, since you left the lecture abruptly last time, Mr. Jack has been mentioning you to me from time to time. I searched through the entire physics student list and couldn't find it, until I saw you in the graduate interview room and realized that you were not a student at our school at that time. Professor Wu said earnestly.

"Mr. Jack and Professor Wu, you have praised me falsely, I am just an ordinary student who can't be more ordinary, not as powerful as you say." In the face of their compliment, I felt like I was burying myself in a hole.

"Chengyi, you are too modest, I'm sorry for the two, I still have a few acquaintances over there, I'll go over and say hello, you continue to visit. We'll talk about it later when we have time. ”

After Jack finished speaking, he walked to several professors from the computer department not far away.

"Cheng Yin, you look a little nervous in front of you." Professor Wu smiled and patted me on the shoulder.

But no, there was tension, and it was clearly very nervous. Just a few minutes ago, I would never have believed that the gringo at that presentation was the president of AEF.

Suddenly there was beautiful music in the stereos, and after the beautiful melody was a lunch cue announcement.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of all AEF staff, I would like to welcome you to a great lunch. Please move to the restaurant area on the main floor and wish you a pleasant meal. ”

Hello ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of AEF, I would like to ......

The dining area on this floor, isn't it a joke, I looked at the surrounding walls, isn't this floor just an exhibition hall, there is no passage? I looked at Professor Wu suspiciously.

There was not a trace of doubt on Professor Wu's face, he just looked up at the ceiling.

Is it so high-tech that lunch falls from the sky? But I never believed that lunch would really fall from the ceiling.

Suddenly, the radio started again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please note that the dining area is falling, please move away from the circular platform in the middle of the exhibition hall."

What the!!! The dining area was falling, really, and I saw a blue glow from the ceiling directly above the circular platform, and a ceiling that was equal to the circular platform began to sink. Damn, it's really down!!

In a few moments, the circular ceiling descended neatly above the circular platform.

In the center of the circular ceiling is a square carbon steel extension column, looking up to connect to the ceiling of the previous floor, it seems that the ceiling is descending by this, from the pillar to the outside of a total of three circles of tables and chairs, the closest to the pillar of the cooking table standing several chefs, are seriously cooking the dishes on the table, and then the outer circle is already full of all kinds of food table. The outermost circle is full of dining tables and chairs, and there are already beautiful cutlery on them.

I really couldn't believe my eyes anymore, and from the moment I walked into this building, I kept refreshing my perception of things. I finally understood what it means to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles.

Professor Wu and I walked to the dining area, looking at all kinds of delicacies, I didn't know what I was going to eat.

"Cheng Yin, the thick grilled steak here is very good, I eat this every time. You can try it. Professor Wu walked to the innermost cooking table, where a chef was grilling steak on an iron plate, exuding the aroma of the steak and the spicy taste of black pepper. Before I could eat it, my saliva was dripping down.

"Medium-rare, thank you." Professor Wu said to the chef who grilled the steak.

"Me too." Now I only have steak in my eyes.

I turned around the table several times, pesto, vegetable platter, and all kinds of desserts and drinks. To my surprise, not a single drop of the drink on the table had spilled during the descent. There was not a single trace of the drink on the table.

By the time I got back to my seat, my professor had already started eating the steak. I took a sip of the orange juice on the table and was about to eat the steak.

A familiar voice came from behind me. "Chengyi, how is it, the lunch here is not bad, right?"

I turned around and it was Jack Lodi. "It's so great, I almost forgot that I came to the scientific research meeting."

"If you like it, if you like. By the way, Professor Wu, I forgot to ask you earlier, did you tell you about it before with Cheng Yi? Jack Lodi looked at Professor Wu who was eating steak.

Professor Wu hurriedly put down the steak and explained to Jack: "Mr. Jack, Cheng Yin, is not yet a student at China University of Science and Technology, so I haven't discussed this matter with him yet."

"Oh, I see, that's a shame. But I'm sure we'll have a chance. Mr. Jack looked a little disappointed, and he slowly walked to the other tables and chatted with the professors again.

"Professor Wu, what exactly is Mr. Jack talking about?" I asked.

"Oh, Mr. Jack would like to invite you to join his research group and work on some related topics together. Cheng Yin, you haven't been officially admitted yet. When your acceptance letter arrives, there is still a chance. ”

I looked at everything around me, there was so much I didn't know about it, and if I could have joined the research group, I would have been able to find Alpha and Professor "Z" faster.

Thinking about this, I suddenly felt that ------- trip was worthwhile.
