Chapter 219: Where in life do we not meet?

Zhang Wei laughed after she said this, but she didn't want to eat much after she came back. The food at Paris's Hotel was indeed worth remembering. She added:

"Don't worry, I'll pay!"

Paris just smiled and said nothing.

After getting a good result and having a full meal, Zhang Wei felt that his life was complete at this moment. After the food on the table was cleared away and a pot of tea was served, Zhang Wei began to chat with Paris.

"I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to ask about you. What are your plans for the future?"

"Continue to study for a doctorate and research in the field of artificial intelligence"

"Didn't you major in mathematics in college?"

"I switched to this for graduate school. It's both computer-related and math-intensive, and I'm quite interested in it."

"That's great! This field will be very popular in the next few years."

Zhang Wei calculated that it would only be a few years before artificial intelligence became popular, so Paris's major had a future.

"You always know a lot. You are a good professional and benefit mankind."

Zhang Wei choked on his tea and waved his hands:

"I don't have such lofty ideals. If I can do something useful by chance, my life will be worthwhile."

They were chatting when there was a knock on the door. Zhang Wei looked towards the door and immediately stood up and greeted the person politely:

"Uncle Lin, long time no see. I came here to bother you as soon as I got back!"

"Vera, you're welcome. I heard this guy brought a girl here, and I wondered who it was. It turned out to be you. You've grown up so much. How is your father? We haven't seen each other for almost a year."

Uncle Lin has a few more wrinkles on his face, but his personality hasn't changed at all. He's still as warm and thoughtful as ever.

"My dad is doing well and sends his regards to you. You still look so young and haven't changed at all."

"Ah, girls are more considerate. Ah Qian wouldn't say such things. Then you two can have a good chat. Uncle won't disturb you anymore."

Paris didn't say a word from beginning to end. Zhang Wei said:

"Your father is always so polite and considerate."

"That's his habit. He wants to control everything. There's nothing he doesn't worry about."

“This is a sweet burden.”

Seeing Paris nod, Zhang Wei also knew that the father and son still got along in this way. If one talked too much, the other would talk less.

"Alas, it's a pity that Dora can't come back for the time being, otherwise we would be reunited!"

"Yes, I didn't expect you to come back to study. Didn't you come back?"

This made Zhang Wei feel a little embarrassed, as if he had betrayed his friend.

She had no choice but to change the subject: "Meeting is always a joy. I'll toast you with tea instead of wine!"

In this way, Zhang Wei started living in the old house again.

The staff at home were all very happy. Betty looked energetic and seemed several years younger. Zhang Wei's life was well organized under her care.

Although her home was far from the school, Zhang Wei rejected Paris's offer to help her find an apartment near the school. She bought a used car and drove it back and forth between school and home every day.

Professor Laura is very strict with her students, not only with her, but with all students. Zhang Wei started an unprecedentedly busy life.

Every day she traveled back and forth between the library and the laboratory at least ten times, because Professor Laura was always trying to explore their limits. Sometimes Zhang Wei could only look up information while doing experiments, and then repeat this process. If she couldn't get a positive answer from Professor Laura, she could only change direction and start over.

Sometimes it was common for her to be asked to redo a project after working on it for a week with just one sentence from the professor. However, this also trained her mentality, as Zhang Wei was naturally very patient.

Gradually, with her hard work, she stood out among several doctoral students of the same period and became the first to obtain the qualification of an independent laboratory.

She looked at her name engraved on the nameplate at the door. Although she would feel that being called a doctor now was not worthy of her, just like she felt when she was called Dr. Wen, she believed that she would be able to graduate with a doctorate successfully.

This day was really worth celebrating, but since Paris was the only friend around her, she drove her broken jeep to find Paris.

When he arrived at the gate of his college, Zhang Wei realized that he had forgotten to tell him in advance and didn't know whether he was in school today.

Just as she was about to make a call, she saw Paris coming out of the door holding some materials, followed by an Asian girl who was gesticulating and talking to him. However, Paris had no expression on his face and seemed a little unapproachable.

Zhang Wei leaned against the car and laughed softly: "I knew he was so handsome that no one would like him."

Before she had stood there for a moment, Paris noticed her. He walked over quickly, a smile instantly appearing on his face:

"Vera, are you here to see me?"

"Of course, I have some good news to share with you, and I have no one else to tell it to except you."

Then he looked at the girl who was looking at her with some hostility and asked:

"Is this your new friend? Would you like to introduce him?"

I don't know what made her so angry at Zhang Wei's words. She shouted in her not-so-fluent English:

"Who's the new friend? You are! I've known Qian for years!"

Paris frowned and explained to Zhang Wei, "This is Anqi, the daughter of my dad's partner. She's a sophomore in college, and her father asked me to take care of her."

He took out his cell phone and said to Zhang Wei, "Wait for me."

Then he made a call: "Zhou Chi, pick up your sister, I have something to do now!"

"You speak Chinese much better now than when you were a child," Zhang Wei praised.

She still remembered that Paris used to stutter when speaking simple Chinese sentences, but she didn't expect that he could speak Chinese well now, with only a little bit of the typical ABC accent.

"Hey, why don't you introduce her to me?"

Seeing that the two men ignored her, the girl asked Paris unconvincedly.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Wei knew that Angie was probably Paris's crazy little fan, so she didn't get involved and let Paris handle it on his own.

They hadn't been standing there for long when they heard a sports car roaring over. A man with a rooster comb and sunglasses got out of the car. As soon as he got out, he shouted:

"Brother Lin, you are busy, I will take this girl back now!"

Zhang Wei felt that he hadn't heard such a familiar Beijing accent for many years, and even the people with cockscomb hair looked more pleasing to his eyes.

"Then let's go." Seeing that they had handled it, Zhang Wei let Paris take his car and leave.

"Ah, are you, are you that little girl Zhang Wei?"

The guy with rooster comb suddenly shouted at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei was also a little confused for a moment. She really couldn't remember when she met such a unique compatriot.

Even the girl looked at Zhang Wei in confusion. Zhang Wei could only look at Paris for help, after all, he knew him.
