Chapter 411 You must try it
Su Mingchang showed off his grandson to the people around him, while An Ruijin was asked about Han Zhengping's situation.
"How old?"
"Where do you go to school?"
"What's your major?"
"Are you dating someone?"
There were only so many people in the upper class, and everyone preferred to marry someone of equal status. The sudden appearance of a young man who seemed to be excellent in all aspects in the Su family naturally attracted a lot of attention. Those who had girls of the right age at home or in their relatives' homes all wanted to inquire about his situation.
An Ruijin handled it with ease:
"Young people nowadays value freedom of marriage. Everything depends on their own decision."
"It's time to learn knowledge. Now I should focus on my studies. I can talk about my partner later."
But even though she said that, those who had their minds set on this wouldn't give up so easily. There were only so many people in Kyoto's upper class, and not many of the next generation were particularly outstanding.
There aren't many people like Han Zhengping, who are both good-looking, academically competent, and have a good family background. If you can get one in advance, it would be the best thing.
After dealing with the people who were asking about Han Zhengping's situation, An Ruijin said to Old Lady Xia who was sitting next to her, "Xiao Si is such a lovely kid. Seeing her makes me so happy."
Old Mrs. Xia knew what she meant, which was to reassure them that the Su family still favored Xiao Si.
"Xiao Si is a really likable kid, and Zhengping is also very good," said Old Lady Xia.
Han Zhengping toasted with Su Wenshan and Kong Xiuwan, and then came to Gu Siqing's table. Gu Siqing sat with Wang Yueju, Gu Yimin, and Gu Erhui.
Kong Xiuwan and Su Wenshan toasted everyone one by one. When it was Gu Siqing's turn, Han Zhengping stood beside her, looked at her with a smile, and mouthed, "Don't drink."
Gu Siqing nodded and mouthed back, "I don't want to drink."
Gu Erhui sat next to Gu Siqing and couldn't help laughing when she saw their interaction. This tacit understanding formed since childhood was different.
The banquet ended at around one o'clock, and Gu Siqing went home with her family. Han Zhengping even came out to say to her, "I'll give you extra lessons tomorrow."
"Aren't you busy?" Gu Siqing asked.
Han Zhengping: "What am I busy with?" It's not me getting married.
Gu Siqing thought about it and decided that he really wasn't busy, so she nodded and said okay, then got into Gu Jianguo's car. Han Zhengping watched their car drive away before turning back.
The next day, Han Zhengping arrived at around nine o'clock. Gu Siqing was home alone, and the two of them were in the room, one doing papers and the other reading. Gu Siqing took a break after finishing a set of papers, looked at the English book in his hand, and said, "I'll go to the United States to see you next summer vacation."
He came back twice a year, and although he could study and read books after returning, it was still better to stay in the laboratory. The laboratory founded by Su Wenshan was already operating, with its main research direction being chips.
Gu Siqing naturally understood the crucial role chips would play in future tech market competition. In her past life, countless Chinese companies had been hampered by foreign competition simply because of a single chip.
Gu Siqing had read a lot of information about chips in her previous life. Later, the companies that controlled the international chip market also began to invest heavily in research in recent years.
At this time in the past, some people in China also proposed to research chips, but due to funding, policy and other reasons, they were not successful.
Now that the Su family had the funds and didn't need government support, she believed that as long as she persisted, she would definitely succeed. If she succeeded, she might even be able to change the future of the international market. Thinking of this, Gu Siqing felt a surge of emotion.
Han Zhengping was delighted to hear her say she would visit him in the US next year. But he still said, "I'll be back next summer to accompany you through the college entrance exam."
"The college entrance examination is only two days long. You don't have to rush back specially." Gu Siqing felt that this was completely unnecessary.
"We'll talk about it later." Han Zhengping took the paper she had finished and looked at it, and stopped discussing this issue with her.
Gu Siqing didn't dwell on this question any more. She casually picked up a periodic table of chemical elements and looked at it. Suddenly, she turned around and asked Han Zhengping, "What are the main components of semiconductors now?"
"Silicon and germanium." Han Zhengping looked up at her and asked, "Are you interested in this?"
Gu Siqing quickly shook her head, "I'm just curious. I just don't have a brain for science."
Han Zhengping chuckled after hearing her words, "You have a very accurate understanding of yourself."
Gu Siqing shrugged, looked at the periodic table of chemical elements and said, "Is there anything else that can replace silicon and germanium? For example, gallium arsenide, indium phosphide, or something else."
Han Zhengping frowned after hearing her words and asked, "Gallium arsenide and indium phosphide, how did you come up with that?"
Gu Siqing opened her eyes wide and said in shock, "Really? I was just saying it casually."
"I haven't tried it, so I don't know." Han Zhengping said thoughtfully.
"Then give it a try when you go back, maybe it will work. If it works, won't that mean I have made a contribution to science?" Gu Siqing's face was full of hope, which made Han Zhengping want to pinch her cheeks. She was so cute, but he still held back.
"I'll give it a try later. Maybe you can really contribute to science." Han Zhengping said casually. Seeing that he didn't take it too seriously, Gu Siqing said, "You must try it!"
"Okay, I'll definitely try it." Han Zhengping said with a smile.
This time, Gu Siqing felt more at ease. The reason she proposed using gallium arsenide and indium phosphide instead of silicon and germanium was because a friend of hers in a past life worked in the chemical industry and had repeatedly told her that the core raw materials for second-generation chips were gallium arsenide and indium phosphide.
She hadn't thought of this before, but today, when she saw the periodic table of chemical elements and Han Zhengping sat next to her, she suddenly remembered it. She didn't know if it would be useful.
After a short break, Gu Siqing resumed her practice, finishing at noon. Neither Wang Yueju nor Gu Jianguo came home for lunch; it was almost Chinese New Year and both were very busy. She asked the nanny to make a simple meal, which they ate together before continuing with their practice in the afternoon.
Life is so hard for high school students.
At around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, there was a knock on the door. The two of them went over and saw Qi Hang standing at the door with a lot of gifts in his hands.
When he saw them, he immediately smiled and said, "I was rather rash in some things before, which caused Gu Siqing a lot of trouble. I'm here to apologize today."
"I understand, but we don't accept your apology." Han Zhengping said as he slammed the door shut, then pulled Gu Siqing back to the room to continue studying.
Sitting down in the room, Gu Siqing sighed and said, "Qi Hang came in second in the Mathematical Olympiad and even got into Tsinghua University. As long as he puts his heart into his studies, he'll definitely achieve something in the future. Why does he have to be so scheming?"
"He may think that if he keeps trying, there will be a shortcut." Han Zhengping said.
Everyone receives different education and influence since childhood, and has different ways of looking at success.
Gu Siqing shrugged and stopped thinking about Qi Hang. He was an unimportant person and there was no need to bother with him.
