Accepting Apple's donation is simple and straightforward.

The contract was signed in the morning, and the money arrived in the afternoon.

For Cheng Xuyang, when he was completely hopeless about the attitude of Xilin University of Technology, there was an unexpected surprise.

For example, after signing the contract, the school invited several local media to take a few photos.

At least you can see it in the local newspapers.

Although Cheng Xuyang doesn't care too much about these, it is good to spend so much money to go out, and it is good to be able to promote the brand.

However, what Cheng Xuyang admires the most is the character of the leaders of Xilin University of Technology who do not see rabbits and do not scatter eagles.

Even though the contract has been signed, both parties took pictures with 20 million props under the witness of the media, but the boy was still not seen at the lunch dinner.

Ask a question, and the answer you get is not in a hurry, there is no hurry, the child is still busy doing research, and he will have time in the evening.

Cheng Xuyang naturally won't believe this kind of nonsense.

At the beginning of the school year, an eighteen-year-old student was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat lunch?

However, after lunch and a simple rest, according to the arrangement of Xilin University of Technology, a vice president surnamed Zheng took him around the campus in the afternoon, and when he came to an optical laboratory building, Cheng Xuyang was silent.

"Mr. Cheng, this is where Qiao Ze is staying now, his laboratory is on the third floor, but you have also seen that this place now belongs to a secret unit, and I don't have the permission to go up." Zheng Luhua pointed to the sign hanging in front of the gate of the fence that had been repaired in the experimental building, and explained with a smile.

Cheng Xuyang glanced at the building that had not been hung with any other signs except for a sign that said "Confidential Unit, Please Do Not Enter", nodded and responded: "It's okay, I understand." ”

"Don't worry, the school has already informed Qiao Ze, and he will definitely be able to spare time in the evening." Zheng Luhua said with a smile again.

"Hmm." Cheng Xuyang nodded, and forcibly swallowed back the words "I really don't have time to forget it".

He's found that it's not appropriate to say some business politeness here, because the other side is likely to really push the boat.

They are all masters of tai chi.

After a round around the school, a special lounge was arranged.

In fact, the school consulted about the meaning of Xuyang, and if he wanted, he could hold a lecture specifically for him.

There should also be a lot of students to participate, and Cheng Xuyang can also talk about the meaning behind this scholarship donation, but Xu Yang still refused after thinking about it.

It's inexplicable, he doesn't want to say anything more here at all.

He would rather be in the lounge, doing his office.

It was six o'clock in the afternoon, and he was again warmly invited to the exquisite box on the second floor of the school's staff cafeteria.

I have to admit that the school is still very enthusiastic, although Principal Chen, who attended the dinner at noon, was not there, but two vice principals came, as well as the deans of the beneficiary colleges and a lot of bigwigs from the school office.

President Zheng, who had been with him in the afternoon, gave a very enthusiastic introduction.

However, until the polite greetings and then everyone sat down, Cheng Xuyang still didn't see the figure he came to meet. The main reason why he couldn't bear to ask was that after everyone sat down, there were still two seats left on the round table.

Fortunately, someone politely gave an explanation.

"Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of the School of Mathematics, Qiao Ze has to come late, he did some academic discussions with some mathematicians today, saying that there is still an email that has not been answered, and he will come over after he finishes writing. It's not too early, why don't we serve the food first and wait while eating? ”

It was Xu Dajiang who spoke.

Cheng Xuyang glanced at Zheng Luhua.

Good guys, I don't have time to do research in the morning, and I don't have time to do academic exchanges with mathematicians in the afternoon......

Really, he really wanted to ask, is there no one else in this school?

It's just that when he spoke, he still said very politely: "No, in fact, I'm not hungry either, I'm just curious, Qiao Ze seems to have everything happened today?" ”

After finishing speaking, Cheng Xuyang suddenly felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little strange.

He admitted that he was a little mocking when he said what he just said, but it didn't make everyone stare at the dean of the math academy with eyes that he didn't know how to describe, right?

Was it because what he said was uncomfortable, or did what the dean said touch the sensitive nerves of other people?

"Haha, it's not like it's all happening today. However, today's day is indeed quite special, Mr. Cheng does not do scientific research, and may not know some things. To put it simply, José has recently applied for an expert qualification, and for the time being, ......"

"Brother Qiao, this is here."

A crisp voice interrupted Xu Dajiang's introduction.

Looking sideways, Su Mucheng's pretty figure was standing outside the door, waving in the direction of the side corridor

Xu Dajiang subconsciously stood up, "Coincidentally, isn't it, someone is here, that ......"

When Qiao Ze's figure appeared, Su Mucheng generously took Qiao Ze's hand and walked into the box, and then said hello to Qiao Ze, the only person he knew in the box, Tian Tian's representative: "Dean Xu, we are here." ”

"Haha, sit down, sit down, come to Qiao Ze, Mu Cheng, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Cheng of Apple, Mr. Cheng Xuyang......"

……

When Cheng Xuyang looked at Qiao Ze's excessively young face and said "hello", Qiao Ze nodded at Cheng Xuyang, which was regarded as a greeting.

Cheng Xuyang was still thinking about why the little boy's eyes didn't seem to be focused when he looked at him, and the girl next to Qiao Ze had already begun to warm up: "It's time to serve, Brother Qiao ate half an hour later than usual today, and he must be hungry." ”

"Yes, it's time to serve, Lao Zhou, you go and let me know, don't let our guests wait for a long time." Zheng Luhua smiled and agreed.

"Hmm." The school staff stood up and walked out of the box.

A series of operations made Cheng Xuyang almost forget what he wanted to say just now.

He had rehearsed the scene after meeting Qiao Ze many times in his mind, but he never thought it would be like this.

He probably felt that Qiao Ze and this little girl were really just for eating.

Soon, Cheng Xuyang's idea was confirmed.

Because the waiter served the dish quickly, it was obviously already ready.

When Cheng Xuyang was still prevaricating with these leaders of the school that he couldn't drink, he noticed that the little girl had already served Qiao Ze's meal.

Good one to do his job.

Cheng Xuyang felt that the situation was wrong, and took the initiative to speak: "Qiao Ze, after eating, let's have some coffee or tea together?" ”

Qiao Ze, who was eating silently, glanced at Cheng Xuyang and didn't say a word.

However, the little girl next to him raised her head and smiled, and said sweetly: "This uncle, Brother Qiao doesn't speak when he eats." But there is definitely no time tonight, Brother Qiao is still discussing a problem with a professor at Yanbei University, they have been arguing all afternoon, and no one has been able to convince anyone so far. I guess we'll have to go on in the evening. ”

Then Cheng Xuyang saw Qiao Ze nodding silently, and then he was still eating quietly.

He doesn't even need to change chopsticks to pick up the food.

Because the little girl beside him, while talking to him, he didn't eat much, and he didn't forget to diligently put the dishes into the bowl of this silent young man.

Cheng Xuyang took a deep breath, and before he could speak again, President Zheng beside him took the lead in asking: "Su Mucheng, which professor in Yanbei is Qiao Ze discussing with him?" ”

The tone seemed to be a little astringent, Cheng Xuyang subconsciously glanced sideways, and found that the vice principal seemed to have some indescribable sadness on his face.

"I didn't ask, I just know that the professor's surname is Zhang, right? Well, if I think about it, it seems to be called Zhang Hongcai? Su Mucheng tilted his head and glanced at Qiao Ze.

Qiao Ze nodded again.

"Hmm......" Zheng Luhua looked at Xu Dajiang.

But Xu Dajiang didn't look at Zheng Luhua at all, he stood up directly and raised his glass enthusiastically.

"Mr. Cheng, I will first toast you with tea instead of wine, on behalf of the students of the Academy, and thank Apple for its support to our Xilin education."

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Cheng Xuyang raised the teacup and took a shallow sip.

"Haha, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, you're welcome, Mr. Cheng."

"Dean Xu is so polite."

Although he was interrupted by Xu Dajing, Cheng Xuyang only felt more depressed in his heart.

For the first time in my life, I felt so powerless.

The man he had to see did see him, but he found it difficult to talk to the boy.

Of course, Cheng Xuyang doesn't feel that he has to blame himself.

Even a dumb person can squeak twice.

But since Qiao Ze walked into the box, he didn't say a word, he didn't even make a sound, and the others didn't seem to think it was weird.

Even with the dignity of the principal, it was obvious that he should have asked Qiao Ze directly to get the answer, so he chose to ask the girl next to Qiao Ze directly.

What's more, Cheng Xuyang really felt as if he had come to the wrong time.

He could feel the strange atmosphere at the dinner table.

Especially when it comes to Qiao Ze's academic exchanges with professors at Yanbei University.

Isn't that a good thing?

The students of Xilin University of Technology have been able to do academic exchanges with the professors in Yanbei, what the hell is the constipation expression on the face of the school leader?

However, the others didn't give him much time to think at all, and after Xu Dajiang started, others followed suit.

Whether it's a drink or a cup of tea, come and toast it.

Cheng Xuyang could only keep picking up the teacup and start his daily politeness.

Finally waiting for everyone to salute down, Cheng Xuyang sensitively noticed that Qiao Ze had put down his chopsticks.

This is supposed to have finished eating, right?

So Cheng Xuyang decided to cut through the mess quickly, and no longer cared about this being at the dinner table with a large number of people, and said very simply: "Qiao Ze, on behalf of Mr. Tim Cook, I would like to extend a sincere invitation to you to be the scientific advisor of our Transformer Large Language Model Division. If you wish, you can discuss the conditions at any time. ”

The clutter of voices immediately quieted down a lot.

It also made Qiao Ze's voice clearer: "Not interested." ”

Cheng Xuyang looked at Qiao Ze and waited for a moment.

After discovering that Qiao Ze no longer planned to speak, he was slightly stunned.

At this moment, he probably understood why Xilin University of Technology had to get the money first before he was willing to let him meet with Qiao Ze.

But obviously, if 20 million is just to listen to these three words, Cheng Xuyang himself can't forgive himself.

"Jozer, you may not know what I mean, this scientific advisor can be part-time, you can continue your studies, and we can build any language lab for you that you feel necessary, according to your requirements. And your responsibility is only to help our engineers answer some questions and give them some direction.

It might not even take you too much time, and you can get everything you can imagine here. Respect, Inclusion, Value, and Creation...... Anything you need, we can provide it to the best of our ability. ”

Qiao Ze nodded and said, "Oh, not interested. ”

Su Mucheng next to him couldn't help but smile and said, "Hehe, uncle, don't persuade Qiao Ze." The conditions you can open have already been opened, and I will tell you secretly, Mr. Yu took a letter of appointment when no one was around, and the annual salary was blank, and Brother Qiao filled it in casually, but Brother Qiao rejected it. ”

Qiao Ze glanced at Su Mucheng beside him, there was still half a bowl of rice left, and then he looked away, and began to think about what he had just argued with Zhang Hongcai in his mind.

Cheng Xuyang was stunned, looked at Qiao Ze, and found that the young man's eyes were out of focus again, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"Tell you secretly, Brother Qiao told me privately that he judged that Apple's future would definitely not be promising. The reason is that you have no experience of surviving adversity. To put it simply, you have not been sanctioned. As a result, your engineers only need to consider the world's most advanced supporting technology, and at the same time, there is too much incentive to innovate, after all, they only need to stick to the rules to eat.

But Youwei, or all the semiconductor-related companies in Huaxia that are limited by technology, are different. Because their engineers have to find a way to find alternative solutions using outdated equipment to compete with products with state-of-the-art processes.

In this way, after Huaxia has made up for the shortcomings, the technical solutions accumulated in the previous way will be used in the latest products, and there will be a qualitative improvement. So where are we now, and it will be until then that Apple will really feel the pain.

Although I don't understand these things, Brother Qiao's previous judgments are all right, so I think Brother Qiao's judgment this time is also right. But Brother Qiao doesn't like to say too much in front of outsiders, so I'll help Brother Qiao say this, as for whether you believe it or not, that's your business. ”

Su Mucheng said happily.

She loves it.

This was not what Qiao Ze asked her to say, it was just Qiao Ze's casual comment when he talked about this meal at noon today.

But Su Mucheng felt quite emotional, so he simply helped Qiao Ze polish it and told the apple uncle about it.

After all, if she said Qiao Ze's original words directly, she was afraid that the uncle opposite would not understand.
