Super God-Level Top Student

Lv Bei's startled expression made Xu Dajiang instantly understand something, so he immediately said with a smile: "Haha, it's okay. Jian Gao went to a meeting, so it's normal for no one to pay attention to such things. Isn't Bai also at the meeting? He'll definitely sort it out."

"Besides, the expert group is here for assessment, not for lunch. Which expert cares about a meal? No one is in charge, they can go to the school cafeteria or eat outside. Who still worries about meal money these days? Eating what you want might unexpectedly satisfy them. We have so many specialty dishes at Xi Lin."

Xu Dajiang is actually quite double-standard.

If the School of Mathematics had this kind of issue, he'd probably be furious. But if it's the Physics College... who doesn't make small mistakes sometimes? Anyone who gets angry over such trivial matters must be petty.

However, Qiao Ze also doesn't think there's anything wrong with what Xu Dajiang said. Who cares about a meal these days, for instance, he doesn't really like when people invite him for dinner when he's out.

Thinking of this, it's nothing more than in his limited experiences of visiting and meeting people, everyone seems quite enthusiastic about such hospitality, so it's hard to refuse.

And compared to formal receptions, he honestly prefers to eat what he wants at his own time. It saves time and avoids dealing with many people and their idle talk at the table. Especially those gatherings with alcohol.

According to the rule observed by Qiao Ze, most people at these drinking gatherings talk noticeably more after drinking, becoming quite noisy.

So Qiao Ze nodded in agreement and replied: "True."

"Well, but I think the Xi Lin Institute still lacks someone in charge. Yu has been in the admissions office long enough; it's time for a change of place. Why not talk to Zhang and transfer Yu's role to the institute? That way, someone can make decisions when similar situations arise," Xu Dajiang suggested.

Although Xu Dajiang doesn't mind the visiting expert assessment group facing some inconvenience, since it's helping the physics side. Whether it succeeds or not is Bai's concern. But Xi Lin Institute's main business is still mathematics, and future connections with math will surely increase.

He and Li Jiangao can't be at school all the time, and Qiao Ze probably won't pay much attention to matters of receiving guests, so it's better to have a reliable person to influence things. Yu Chenggong is definitely the ideal choice.

Qiao Ze will certainly trust him, he does things perfectly and reliably.

Just a year ago, he might have chosen to try and persuade himself, think of ways. But now what Qiao Ze says definitely carries more weight, especially after the change in leadership.

"Hmm, what position would be suitable for Yu?" Qiao Ze seriously nodded and then asked.

"Xi Lin Institute is now a department-level unit, isn't there still a vacancy for deputy director? Currently, Yu is at the main level; transferring to an administrative deputy director position would also count as a promotion. You should give Zhang a heads-up and get this sorted early before the institute turns into a research academy, which could cause trouble later."

Xu Dajiang offered his suggestion without hesitation.

From this point, back when Chen was still in position saying this guy should serve in the organization ministry was responsible.

After all, when it comes to personnel arrangements, Xu handles it quite steadily.

"Got it." Qiao Ze accepted, planning to call Zhang tonight.

After all, Zhang mentioned on his first day at school that his decision to transfer here was to support the institute's work and told Qiao Ze he could call anytime. Qiao Ze hasn't called yet, it should be fine.

"Trust me, Professor Qiao, if you speak up there'll be no problem. By the way, what are you planning to do now?"

"Going for a walk."

"It's perfect, I'm free, I'll join you for a walk?"

"Okay."

"So let's go, I should take a nice walk around the campus. Honestly, since moving to the new campus, I still haven't properly explored around here..."

Seeing the enthusiastic Xu Dajiang chatting with Qiao Ze, Lv Bei and Li Chengze breathed a simultaneous sigh of relief.

All this chatting, quite stressful.

...

United States, Seattle, Redmond.

As night falls in Huaxia, for Satya Nadella it's a new day beginning.

Yesterday, after Kevin Scott talked to him, he went home and made several calls to consult with some well-known American scientists engaged in bio-computation research.

Including Leonard Adleman at the University of Southern California, Eric Klavins at the University of Washington, and of course Andrew Phillips who works at Microsoft Research Institute.

Coincidentally, when video-calling Andrew Phillips, this homegrown scientist had already received some information from Kevin Scott.

There were definitely gains.

At least it provided Satya Nadella a general understanding of the current progress in developing bio-computation in the United States, including his own research progress. Unfortunately, as for now, there's still no dependable commercial model.

In Andrew Phillips' words, he originally thought their research, including biology and cellular computation models, engineered biological systems, bio-computation applications, etc., was leading the world.

But the series of data provided by Kevin Scott started making him question that judgment. If the listed experimental data weren't faked, then indeed Huaxia has moved further in bio-chip research.
