Chapter 78: Can

After seeing off Feng Jingxin and He Zhangbai and the others, Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu also got into the car and headed to the restaurant.

A few minutes after they arrived at the private room, Nan Zhizhi also arrived.

"Mr. Nan."

Seeing Nan Zhizhi push the door and enter, Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu stood up to welcome him.

Seeing Lin Wu, there was no surprise on Nan Zhizhi's face.

Lin Wu introduced herself politely again: "Hello Mr. Nan, my name is Lin Wu, we met at the tech exhibition before—"

"I know." Nan Zhizhi had no expression on his face and reached out to shake hands with her.

After Nan Zhizhi sat down, Lin Wu sat down in the seat beside him, and then said: "I admire you very much, and have always hoped to have the opportunity to meet you and discuss professional knowledge in the AI field with you face to face."

Nan Zhizhi: "Hmm."

At this time, Feng Tingshen's phone rang, he stood up and said to Nan Zhizhi and Lin Wu: "I'll go out to answer a call, you guys chat."

Lin Wu nodded.

After Feng Tingshen left, Lin Wu picked up the menu on the side and handed it to Nan Zhizhi: "Mr. Nan, let's order first, and chat while eating in a while?"

Nan Zhizhi pushed the menu aside and said: "No need for now."

Lin Wu paused, and before she could react, Nan Zhizhi said directly: "You want to be my student?"

Lin Wu didn't expect him to be so direct.

Nan Zhizhi was direct, and she didn't shrink back because he was a person at the top of the pyramid in the AI field, she admitted confidently and calmly: "Yes, I am very interested in the AI field, and hope to learn by your side and strive for greater progress."

Since she was here to see Nan Zhizhi, she naturally wouldn't come without any preparation.

After speaking, she took out her computer and said: "Let me show you the product I made when I graduated with my doctorate?"

Nan Zhizhi scrolled the mouse to flip through her graduation work.

After reading a few sets of data, he said calmly: "As far as graduation work is concerned, it is indeed much better than the average doctoral student in school."

Hearing Nan Zhizhi say this, the smile in Lin Wu's eyes deepened, and she was more confident, she was about to speak, when Nan Zhizhi let go of the mouse, moved his gaze away from the computer, and asked: "Is this completed this year?"

Lin Wu: "Yes."

"Nothing else?"

Lin Wu paused, unable to hear for a while whether he was satisfied with her, expecting her to provide more highlights, or dissatisfied, but seeing she was quite excellent, wanted to give her another chance.

But her grades in school had always been at the top, and she had won many awards, and her doctoral supervisor praised her highly.

You know, her supervisor was also a person of great importance in the field in Country A, and had participated in several aerospace plans of Country A.

Her supervisor's praise was absolutely enough!

Therefore, she had enough confidence in her profession.

Thinking of this, her heart stabilized again, and she said: "I have done some technical analysis on the exhibits displayed at the last tech exhibition, do you want to listen?"

"Speak."

Lin Wu began to unfold a technical explanation of an unmanned driving car from the last exhibition

She spoke continuously for over ten minutes, during which Feng Tingshen even returned once, saying he had another important call to make.

A while later, just as Lin Wu wanted to continue speaking, Nan Zhizhi suddenly looked up and said, "That will do."

Lin Wu then stopped.

Nan Zhizhi stood up and gave his final evaluation: "Your grasp of basic knowledge is decent, but it is not yet up to the standard for me to take on a student."

Lin Wu was stunned, then pursed her lips.

This was not the answer she wanted.

As Nan Zhizhi pushed the door open to leave, Lin Wu stepped forward quickly and said, "Mr. Nan, then how do you think I should improve?"

Nan Zhizhi paused, then said coldly, "Study more, and pay more attention to new developments in the field."

Just as he finished speaking, Feng Tingshen returned.

Before he could speak, Nan Zhizhi said, "I have done what I needed to do; I will contact you again in a few days."

Feng Tingshen: "Alright."

After Nan Zhizhi finished speaking, he left directly.

Feng Tingshen looked at Lin Wu, and seeing her poor complexion, asked, "The result wasn't good?"

Lin Wu nodded candidly: "He didn't accept me."

"What did Mr. Nan say? Tell me about it?"

Lin Wu then recounted the process and all of Nan Zhizhi's evaluations and suggestions for her.

"Your ability is indeed quite good," Feng Tingshen said. "I think his suggestions are also quite pertinent."

Lin Wu paused.

She had indeed been studying her professional knowledge less lately, and she rarely paid attention to new developments in the field. Had Nan Zhizhi seen that she was not diligent or focused enough in this regard, felt her attitude toward her profession was problematic, and decided she was not worth cultivating, thus rejecting her?

Thinking that it was her own attitude toward her profession that led Nan Zhizhi not to take her as a student, rather than a lack of ability on her part, Lin Wu felt much better.

Feng Tingshen said: "Try again when there is an opportunity later."

Lin Wu: "Alright."

She believed that once she corrected her attitude, given her professional ability, passing Nan Zhizhi's test would no longer be difficult.

Thinking of this, she actually regretted putting too much of her heart into racing recently.

Otherwise, would she not already be Nan Zhizhi's student by now?

Nan Zhizhi returned to the villa.

In the villa, Rong Ci and Yu Moxun had just finished buying and cleaning ingredients, preparing to cook hot pot.

Seeing him return, Yu Moxun asked: "Back so soon?"

Nan Zhizhi took off his coat, his tone still cold: "Yes."

Yu Moxun glanced at Rong Ci, who was bringing bowls and chopsticks out of the kitchen, and gossiped again: "So... we shouldn't have an extra junior sister or anything like that, right?"

Nan Zhizhi ignored him, took the bowl Rong Ci handed him, and sat down.

Silence meant no.

Yu Moxun laughed, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Rong Ci: "I told you, the first time I met her, I had already figured her out completely."

Rong Ci smiled, told him to go into the kitchen to bring out the remaining meat, and said: "Yes, you are the most amazing."

Yu Moxun brought the meat out and asked curiously: "Teacher, then what level do you think she is at in the field?"

"A level slightly higher than the average excellent doctoral graduate."

"Great minds think alike."

The AI field in the country has developed rapidly in the last ten years, and the various technologies mastered internally by the state have likely surpassed the world level for some time.

And as the most core figure among them, Nan Zhizhi faces the world's top products, technologies, and talents in this field every day.

Lin Wu's level, among ordinary people, is indeed already very excellent.

But that is only among ordinary top students.

Compared to the people around Nan Zhizhi, however, she is still far behind.

As for him and Rong Ci, it goes without saying.

That is truly not on the same level.

After all, Lin Wu is twenty-five this year, and she cannot even reach the edge of the CUAP that Rong Ci created many years ago.
