Chapter 61 She is my best disciple
Xue Beiwang was clearly taken aback. "You... specifically asked me to come here just for this?"
"yes."
Xie Jinghuai nodded solemnly, "I came here specifically for this matter."
Jiang Shiyuan clenched her fists inch by inch with her hands hanging by her sides, almost scratching deep marks on the door panel, and felt waves of pain in her heart.
She couldn't believe that Xie Jinghuai would go to such lengths for Lin Zhixin!
In order to grant his beloved's wish, he was willing to lower himself and set aside his pride to beg for her help.
Is this still the same arrogant, high-and-mighty chosen one?
"Zhixin had published two papers on artificial intelligence abroad that had a significant impact on the academic community. After returning to China, I also saw her talent and ability in this area. Otherwise, I would not have hired her as the director of our R&D department."
Xie Jinghuai's phoenix eyes curved slightly, "But she still feels that she has many shortcomings and hopes to further improve her abilities."
She was a loyal follower of yours even when she was abroad, and becoming your student was a long-cherished dream of hers.
Lin Zhixin's eyes were incredibly sincere. "Yes, Professor Xue, if I could become your student, I would have no regrets in this life..."
As she spoke, she launched into a long and detailed account of her views and thoughts on Professor Xue's research projects.
And she really did have something to say.
Xue Beiwang nodded slowly, his opinion of the beautiful and delicate girl changing somewhat.
Jiang Shiyuan could tell that Lin Zhixin had made ample preparations to win over her teacher.
Moreover, she knew very well that Lin Zhixin was not just a pretty face, but actually had some real skills.
Maybe, out of respect for Xie Jinghuai, the teacher might actually take her on as a disciple.
Jiang Shiyuan's breathing became heavier, and a drop of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Is Lin Zhixin going to intervene in and destroy her life once again, cruelly plundering her?
“Ms. Lin, your viewpoint is very novel, and it’s clear that you have studied my paper in depth and attended my lectures.”
Seeing that she had gained Professor Xue's approval, Lin Zhixin could not contain her excitement and quickly cast a joyful glance at the man.
Xie Jinghuai also smiled, seemingly infected by her emotions.
“But I already have an apprentice. My apprentice is very outstanding. If she wants to, she has the ability to become a female leader in the field of artificial intelligence in China.”
Unexpectedly, Xue Beiwang poured cold water on them the next second, "Besides, I'm the kind of person who likes to stick to one thing and doesn't like to be fickle. I still prefer the children who grow up little by little under my guidance. That gives me a great sense of accomplishment, and sometimes what a teacher needs is that sense of accomplishment."
Offering help in times of need is far more valuable than adding to someone's existing success, isn't it?
Jiang Shiyuan's eyes widened, and her heart raced.
The two men, who were opening champagne halfway through the match, both froze.
"Professor Xue, is your... your student also a girl?" Lin Zhixin's smile almost froze.
"Yes."
Xie Jinghuai couldn't help but ask, "Is it the one in the room?"
"That's right."
Inside the door, Jiang Shiyuan's eyes welled up with tears. Overjoyed, she felt ashamed to face her mentor.
Out of respect for Xie Jinghuai, Xue Beiwang did not explicitly refuse, but only gave a perfunctory reply:
"Thank you for your appreciation, Miss Lin, but let's discuss the matter of taking on a disciple in the future."
Lin Zhixin bit her lip in resentment, feeling extremely dissatisfied with the female student Professor Xue had praised.
Having said that, it would be impolite to insist any further, so Xie Jinghuai could only settle for second best:
"We would like to ask Professor Xue to visit us and provide guidance on the two AI projects that our Xie Group has recently been developing, so that you can give us your feedback when you have the time."
Xue Beiwang readily agreed, "Okay, I'll definitely go when I have time."
Then, Xie Jinghuai and Lin Zhixin got up to say goodbye, and Xue Beiwang simply watched them leave.
"Brother Jinghuai..."
Although Xie Jinghuai had mentioned Lin Zhixin before, Lin Zhixin still addressed him that way in private. "Am I...did I do something wrong that Professor Xue doesn't like?"
"No, you did a great job and were well prepared."
Xie Jinghuai spoke gently, offering words of comfort: "Professor Xue is a man of strong emotions, only interested in academics, which makes his personality difficult to fathom."
This time, you left a good impression on him. Although he didn't agree to take you on, he didn't explicitly refuse either. When he comes to the group for guidance, I'll try to arrange for you two to have more interaction.
"Yes, thank you for thinking of me like this, Brother Jinghuai." Lin Zhixin gazed at the man, her expressive eyes filled with tenderness.
"You once saved my life, this little favor is nothing."
Xie Jinghuai paused, then added, "Moreover, your desire to become Professor Xue's apprentice is also for the sake of the group."
"In the end, it's because I'm not strong enough..."
Lin Zhixin lowered her eyes shyly, her delicate appearance perfectly arousing a man's protective instincts and impulses. "If only I were a powerful and influential figure like Nora."
The fact that Xie's Group changed designers for its new energy vehicles has indeed had a significant impact on Xie Jinghuai.
Therefore, Lin Zhixin came up with the idea of seeking connections, since she didn't understand design and could only improve herself technically.
Moreover, if she could get in touch with Xue Beiwang, she would have the opportunity to meet more leading figures in the field of artificial intelligence in China, and might even be able to access Professor Xue's research institute's "hidden heart" big data model.
The government has already taken notice of "hidden heart" and it is expected to become a key national project, or even a powerful national tool; it's only a matter of time.
Lin Zhixin thought that if she could participate in the project, it would be a great honor for her family and ancestors.
Even if she can't, by following Xue Beiwang, she might be able to glean some core technology, which she can then use for her own purposes. Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?
"Don't think like that, Zhixin, you are excellent too."
The man's voice was warm and deep, "In my opinion, you are no worse than Nora. Nora only knows design, but you understand the technical aspects, and you are much more advanced than her."
Lin Zhixin blushed with joy upon receiving praise from her beloved.
Thinking of Nora, Xie Jinghuai felt short of breath, and his handsome face turned icy cold.
"It won't be long before I make Nora realize that leaving the Xie family was the worst decision she ever made in her life!"
...
After they left, Jiang Shiyuan accompanied Xue Beiwang to the cafeteria for a meal.
“Teacher, I want to ask you a question…” Jiang Shiyuan began hesitantly.
Xue Beiwang saw right through him. "Are you trying to ask why I didn't agree to Xie Jinghuai's request to take that Miss Lin as my apprentice?"
"yes."
Jiang Shiyuan nodded, "Teacher, you have always been a person who cherishes talent, and Lin Zhixin is also very capable and highly educated. In addition, President Xie recommended her. I thought you would accept her."
"It's precisely because Xie Jinghuai recommended her that I don't want to take her in."
Jiang Shiyuan was stunned, "Why..."
"I have my own criteria for accepting apprentices. I don't just accept anyone who is handed to me. I look at their knowledge, ability, and character."
Xue Beiwang picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Jiang Shiyuan's bowl. "I can only say that Miss Lin doesn't meet my standards. Also, having you, Jiang, is better than having ten apprentices. Besides, I'm getting old. Once 'Hidden Heart' is successfully developed, I plan to retire to the second line, so I don't want to cause myself any more trouble."
Jiang Shiyuan's eyes welled up with tears, and her heart surged with emotion:
"Cangxin, it's been a long time since I've heard that name."
"The 'Hidden Heart' model is the result of our joint research, and you even came up with the name. You deserve half of this credit."
Xue Beiwang looked intently at her, "So, I really hope that you can come back, Xiao Jiang, and we can work together to make 'Hidden Heart' perfect again."
"Thank you for your kind invitation. I will consider it once I've finished dealing with things at home."
Jiang Shiyuan recalled the days and nights she spent with her teacher and other senior students struggling to "hide her heart," the sweat she shed, and the blood she poured into it. Her once frozen heart began to pound violently again.
...
After saying goodbye to Professor Xue, Jiang Shiyuan thought that Xie Jinghuai and Lin Zhixin should have long since disappeared, and then she walked around the campus with peace of mind.
Hey! Look! Handsome guys and beautiful girls!
"Oh my god! Is this a scene from a Korean drama? This scene looks just like a movie poster, it's so romantic!"
Hearing excited chatter, Jiang Shiyuan couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound—
