Qiao Yanan is only 28 years old this year, but she has already become the deputy director of the R&D department of Shanghai Ming Group. The average age of the entire R&D department is 46 years old, which also indirectly proves her scientific research ability and extraordinary talent.
Her ability is second only to Dr. Zhao and surpasses most scientists, so everyone in the R&D department is quite impressed by her.
At this moment, everyone was looking at Qiao Yanan with anticipation.
Xuan Ming also looked up, a subtle smile forming on his lips. He wanted to know how Qiao Yanan would solve this situation.
"System, can you solve this problem? Tell me the answer quickly!" Qiao Yanan urged anxiously in his heart.
248's tone was extremely frustrated. "Host, I can't tell you the answer. You have to figure it out yourself." As it spoke, it used the surveillance equipment in the conference room to check the draft papers placed on the tables. However, they were either blank or only had a few characters written on them, which was of no use.
"I can't even understand the question, how can I solve it?" Qiao Yanan screamed.
"That's your problem, host. If you had used these five years to properly learn communications technology, you wouldn't be facing this situation today." 248 also felt a lot of resentment. It was really unfortunate to encounter such a hopeless host.
"Let's not blame each other now. Let's just deal with this hurdle first, okay? Tell me the answer soon!" Qiao Yanan hid his trembling hands under the table.
"I can't tell you the answer. I've already said that the Lord God won't allow us to leak technology beyond our current era. The scientific research results I provided you with before were already produced by others, and they didn't violate the rules. But the current situation doesn't allow that! This question remains a question mark, don't you understand? If I tell you the answer, it would be like directly bringing this technology into this world, and I would receive the Lord God's most severe punishment! When the Lord God remotely destroys me, you, who are bound to me, will also die!"
248 had to issue the most severe warning.
"Then what should I do now? Ah? I'm Minister Qiao, there's no way I can't solve this problem!" Qiao Yanan's voice was so sharp that it was split.
During the time she sat there motionless, everyone looked at her differently.
"Figure it out yourself!" After saying this, 248 fell silent. No matter how Qiao Yanan screamed, threatened, or acted pitifully, he remained indifferent.
The inner thoughts of the two men were like a Peking opera with clashing drums and gongs, so exciting and captivating. Xuan Ming almost laughed, but could only press his fist to his lips and pretend to be serious.
On the other side, Zhuang Li, already impatient, ordered again, "Madam, please do this question."
"Xiao Qiao, why are you still standing there? Teacher Zhuang is calling you." An engineer sitting next to Qiao Yanan couldn't sit still anymore and poked her arm with a ballpoint pen.
Qiao Yanan looked across at him with a gloomy expression and sneered, "You always call me Madam, Madam. Don't you have a name? Before you can do good research, I hope you can first learn how to behave. At the very least, you should understand what politeness is."
Accustomed to a life of superiority, Qiao Yanan almost forgot that she was just a waitress selling red wine in a nightclub. She didn't understand what high technology meant, but she knew how to make trouble.
When Zhuang Li asked her to go up and do the questions, she found fault with him, making everyone think that she was angry, not that she didn't know the answer.
Sure enough, some of her colleagues who were on good terms with her showed understanding expressions and whispered to her not to take it to heart.
Several old scientists murmured, "Teacher Zhuang is very talented, so he is naturally arrogant. He just came back from abroad, so he doesn't believe in seniority. Why are you angry with him? He has no tolerance at all." They actually completely stood on Zhuang Li's side.
Xuan Ming: “…”
These old stubborn people are becoming more and more pleasing to the eye today.
Zhuang Li placed his hands on the table, his lips curled into a smile. "So, what do you want me to call you? Minister Qiao?" He straightened his back and nodded gracefully. "Then Minister Qiao, please prove with your strength that you are still worthy of this position in front of me."
"I've been checked." Xuan Ming covered his wildly raised mouth with his palm.
Qiao Yanan, who had thought she could get by with some nagging, was suddenly stuck in mid-air. If she didn't go up to do the questions today, she would have to admit her incompetence; if she went up, her true abilities would still be exposed, and no matter what she did, she would be doomed.
"Minister Qiao, go up and try it. With your scientific research ability, you should be able to deduce some of the answers." Several colleagues who had a good relationship with Qiao Yanan helped her move up again.
Zhuang Li walked aside and gave up his seat on the podium.
A flash of inspiration suddenly came to Qiao Yanan's mind.
248, who had been quietly observing the situation outside, immediately warned, "Host, I advise you not to feign unconsciousness. From a behavioral psychology perspective, I suspect Zhuang Li's first reaction won't be to call a doctor, but to pinch your philtrum. I'm afraid you'll jump out of your skin in pain. People with his exceptional intelligence are generally skeptical. If he determines you're a liar, he won't believe anything you say or do."
Qiao Yanan, who was covering his head and shaking his body, suddenly became stiff as a stone.
"Puff...cough cough" Xuan Ming quickly covered his mouth.
"This won't work, that won't work, what do you want me to do?!" Qiao Yanan wanted to grab her hair, kneel on the ground and scream to the sky.
After dawdling for so long, and even breaking out in cold sweat, her abnormal behavior was noticed by everyone. However, after working with her for so many years, no one thought too deeply about it.
Zhuang Li, however, didn't give her any face at all. He walked back to the podium and said calmly, "It seems this question is too difficult for you. Let me change it."
He tapped the keyboard lightly and asked another question - D2D resource allocation algorithm based on exhaustive search in 5G.
"Minister Qiao, please come in." He stepped aside, bowed slightly, and extended a hand to invite, with a very humble and polite attitude.
But to Qiao Yanan's ears, the term "Minister Qiao" sounded more ironic than the previous "this lady".
What made her even more upset was that 248 suddenly said in her mind: "He also patched the second loophole."
The engineers and scientists sitting on either side pondered the problem, but no one picked up a pen to calculate. They looked back and forth at Zhuang Li, who smiled pursed lips, and Qiao Yanan, who had a sinister expression, as if they understood something.
Minister Qiao can't answer these two questions...
Zhuang Li nodded and said, "It seems this question is still too difficult for Minister Qiao." He walked up to the podium, tapped the keyboard, and said in a gentle voice, "Then I'll change to another one."
After a while, the third question appeared on the screen - a 5G network slicing orchestration algorithm based on GA-PSO optimization under the SDN/NFV architecture.
248 sighed, "This is the third loophole."
Qiao Yanan looked at the screen blankly.
Zhuang Li admired her expression with amusement and nodded, "It seems you don't know how to solve this problem either. Then I'll give you a simpler one." His slender fingertips danced on the keyboard.
Beads of sweat formed on Qiao Yanan's forehead and trickled down. She glanced at her colleagues sitting on either side, then at Xuan Ming sitting across from her, her heart clenched with embarrassment and anxiety.
"Minister Qiao, please take a look at this question." Zhuang Li turned and pointed at the white curtain.
248 spoke weakly, "The fourth loophole has been filled."
Qiao Yanan's mind was a mess, and she couldn't think straight. Of course, even if she could think, she still couldn't understand the difficult technical terms. The confusion in her heart had become tangible, clearly written on her face.
There was a noisy discussion in the conference room:
"No way? Minister Qiao has no idea at all?"
"Then how did she derive the basic algorithm for 5G?"
"She's been acting so strangely today!"
Qiao Yanan's body was trembling slightly. She felt like the voluptuous ghost in the tales of Liao Zhai, having her shiny, beautiful skin peeled off alive, revealing her ugly true form.
In a strong sense of shame and uneasiness, she hugged herself tightly.
"It seems that Minister Qiao doesn't know the answer to this question either. Then I'll pick a few simpler ones." Zhuang Li smiled and typed on the keyboard.
After reading the question, 248 despairingly declared, "He's patched all the loopholes. You have no chance of surpassing him in the 5G field. He seems to have long realized that you are a novice, so he deliberately left these six algorithms blank to set you up."
"How could he know?" Qiao Yanan was so scared that her heart almost exploded.
"I just watched the surveillance video, and it seems he made that judgment based on your expression. After all, he's truly capable, and experts in this field can tell his depth with a single listen. But you were different. You were actually mocking him at the time." 248 accused, "I've always told you that you need to learn how to manage your expressions!"
Of course, Qiao Yanan has learned how to manage her facial expressions well, but she is praised too highly in this world, and her extremely inflated self-confidence has made her lose her mind.
Now, everyone in the conference room was looking at her, with suspicion, scrutiny, and disbelief in their eyes.
Qiao Yanan desperately searched for excuses to exonerate herself in her mind.
Zhuang Li didn't give her a chance to struggle. He linked the six questions together and said slowly: "Since Minister Qiao doesn't know how to derive their algorithms, can you explain their basic ideas?" In this way, the difficulty of these questions has been reduced to the lowest level, which is equivalent to basic operations for experts in the communication field.
Qiao Yanan called for help again: "System, help me!"
248 shook his head dejectedly: "Host, this won't work! Expounding on the basic idea would be equivalent to indirectly bringing the algorithm into this world. I will be killed by the Lord God!"
Qiao Yanan was desperate.
Hearing this, Xuan Ming clearly realized that the Lord God's suppression of this world had reached an extremely harsh level. He would not allow even the smallest technological advancement of 0.001%.
"What should I do? What should I do? They are all looking at me!" Qiao Yanan screamed wildly in her heart. There was no longer a trace of arrogance in her tone, only the embarrassment and helplessness of being skinned.
248 kept silent.
Several young engineers loudly questioned: "Minister Qiao, can't you even explain your basic ideas clearly? This is not your level!"
Zhuang Li chuckled softly. "Yes, Minister Qiao, this isn't your true skill. Come," he said, gesturing with a finger frivolously. "Use your strength to overturn my argument, to refute my evidence, to argue with me about who's better. Prove with ironclad facts that your 5G technology is superior to mine."
Qiao Yanan looked into his narrow, long eyes, which shone like cold stars and captivated her. She suddenly felt extremely regretful. If she hadn't been so unreasonable in the beginning, she wouldn't be so embarrassed now.
Zhuang Li kept calling Minister Qiao, but it was like slapping her in the face again and again, and reminding everyone all the time how unqualified she was for the position.
Looking at Qiao Yanan's guilty expression and evasive eyes, everyone became more certain of their previous seemingly absurd guess.
Zhuang Li supported himself on the table with both hands, leaned forward slightly, and pronounced judgment on Qiao Yanan: "Minister Qiao, you don't understand communications technology."
There was a burst of surprised noise in the conference room.
Xuan Ming looked very serious on the surface, but he was slowly clapping in his heart.
Wonderful, really wonderful! Curly is indeed a skinning expert.
