The End of Technology

There is not much to talk about in formal talks.

Except for Ning Zi's first slightly pointed question, cordial, friendly, caring, peaceful... and other extremely gorgeous words of praise can probably be used to describe the atmosphere of this meeting.

The only problem is probably that both sides are talking nonsense.

For example, Chen Yonggang once again represented the University of Sports and Praise for Apple's achievements, while Tim Cook, on behalf of Apple, expressed his affirmation of the University's development over the years. It probably means that both parties feel that the other party is doing a good job and will have a bright future. If they can cooperate, a win-win result will be achieved. Of course, if the identities of the two parties are really to be exchanged, it is absolutely impossible.

This kind of occasion naturally had nothing to do with Ning Zi. Fortunately, it did not last long. After all, the two parties had already exchanged business ideas for a while before visiting the University. Now just a final summary.

After the conference, there is free dinner time.

Ning Zi had set the tone before, so there was no need to pay too much attention to it. Principal Chen was also a real person, so he simply set it in the school cafeteria.

Of course, the faculty canteen also has private rooms.

In addition to the decoration that may not look upscale like a star-rated restaurant, the ingredients ordered in advance are still very fresh and the chefs are also very capable. At least in the eyes of many school leaders, the taste is definitely no worse than the so-called Michelin restaurants outside, and it is also affordable. .

Fortunately, most of Tim Cook's entourage this time are Chinese. There are not many entourages from the US headquarters, and most of them don't sound high-level. The most important thing is that Tim Cook did not appear at the official dinner, but went out to eat alone with Ning Zi. The team was led by Ge Linyue, who was more familiar with the Chinese environment, and communication was smoother.

Of course, Ning Zi had a good reason not to attend this kind of dinner. He was slightly afraid of society.

In short, no matter whether you are satisfied or not, that’s it.

Anyway, everyone knows whether this cooperation with the University of Sports will be successful or not, and they don’t care about the outcome of the discussion here anyway. Even if you have to bargain, you have to wait until Xiao Zao on the other side has reached an agreement, so everyone has no psychological burden and is naturally very happy.

The kind of happiness that everyone is happy with.

…

Of course, for Ning Zhe and Tim Cook, their dinner was not tense.

There is no doubt that he is very stable as the CEO of Apple, and even made shareholders not only willingly offer the highest salary and stock incentives in the world, but also cried and begged to prepare a special plane for the CEO. Since then, Make sure that a person who can work hard has top-notch IQ and emotional intelligence.

He was probably the kind of real boss who, if he wanted to, could still make the person to be slaughtered feel like a breath of fresh air during the conversation, even if he was thinking about how to cut the person opposite him in his heart.

Separate private rooms, standard Chinese-style Western food, and a relatively private environment are enough to allow smooth communication.

Of course, Tim Cook was still talking most of the time, while Ning Zi listened quietly and occasionally responded with a sentence or two. Until the pleasantries are over, the key issues are discussed.

"Ning, I have a feeling that you attach great importance to a chip research center. Although I don't know why, I think you must have your own ideas. Can you tell me what directions this R\u0026D center needs to research in the future? Although we have a list of equipment you need, it seems that the things on these lists are inconsistent with the current chip development path."

After Ning Zi swallowed the steak in his mouth, he spoke frankly: "Two directions, photon computing chips and new structure electronic chips. The research and development paths are indeed inconsistent. Silicon materials have been used by different types of semiconductor companies represented by Intel and Qualcomm. We have gone to the extreme and have built a strong enough moat through various patents. We can only make breakthroughs by finding another way."

Tim Cook smiled and then asked again: "Those most sophisticated robotic arms should be equipped with advanced artificial intelligence technology, right?"

Ning Zi nodded and said calmly: "Yes, this is also the reason why many products need to be specially customized. There will be a nearly fully automated laboratory that will be used to hand over artificial intelligence to the screening, deployment and data recording of materials. , a small number of researchers will do auxiliary work. If the research center starts construction now, the supercomputing center built by Youwei Group will be put into use after it is completed. To maximize efficiency."

Tim Cook put away his smile and asked seriously: "I looked at the list you made. Seventy percent of the instruments and equipment need to be imported from outside China, and 100% of them need to be imported from outside China." Ninety percent of them are prohibited products under the Wassenaar Agreement. To be honest, this list puts a lot of pressure on Apple.”

This time Ning Zi smiled and said: "This is why I am willing to waste some time sitting here and talking with you. If it weren't for these restrictions, I wouldn't even need to cooperate with Apple. I know that Apple has the ability and motivation to help We built this R\u0026D center. After all, it is just a few large laboratories. As long as it is not imported in batches, all the equipment is just a few scattered units. There are too many ways for Apple to bypass the so-called control, and it does not even need to be There is an additional cost.”

Tim Cook did not deny this. They are all smart people and there is no need to bargain on this kind of thing. He just said openly: "Yes, Apple does have this ability. But the key is why it does it. After all, Both Intel and Qualcomm are extremely important partners for Apple. Qualcomm, in particular, is an important customer of Apple's patent business. We can get relatively favorable prices."

Ning Zi nodded happily and said: "I understand what you mean, so I am also prepared to increase the price. If Apple can invest in helping Sports University build this chip R\u0026D center, the world's high-end smart product ecological market will have a bright future." And there are only two brands: Apple and Youwei. If the R\u0026D center develops smoothly, Apple may not even need to pay Qualcomm’s high baseband patent licensing fees in the future.”

"And your relationship with Intel and Qualcomm is not as close as you said. In fact, Apple and Qualcomm have been in litigation for many years. It is possible to fall in love, and it is not merciless to kill each other. Maybe it is time to change partners. And Both Youwei Group and Apple need a reliable competitor to maintain the company's ambition in the consumer goods market. So this arrangement is almost perfect."

Well, the plans given in March have never been less than perfect so far.

After all, it has gone through rigorous mathematical model simulation and analysis.

But Tim Cook shrugged and said: "Apple will remain aggressive without competitors."

Ning Zi shook his head: "Maybe you can guarantee it when you are in office, but you are 57 years old this year. How long can you continue to work? 10 years? 20 years? Not to mention that people's energy will decrease with age. But more importantly What's more, my technical reserves are enough to make Apple fall from the altar. Apple's shareholders support you because you can make Apple's financial report look good. If Apple's financial report no longer looks good... By the way, how long will your contract expire?"

The highly offensive words did not make Tim Cook angry.

Just let the conversation between the two fall into silence at the right time.

Tim Cook can indeed feel the pressure. For Apple, the two-power structure is really not the best choice. If, as Ning Zi described, Apple no longer needs to pay patent fees to Qualcomm and use Intel's disappointing chips in the future, it also means that Apple will be more dependent on China's supply chain. And it is an extremely high-end supply chain.

The most ideal situation is actually for the three companies to check and balance each other. Apple can maintain the relationship between the three companies at the same time. The crux of the problem is that although the current chip research center of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is only on paper, Tim Cook has a hunch that this young man may really cause the permanent decline of Intel and Qualcomm.

Although Tim Cook also feels that he will most likely have retired by then, he doubts whether his successor will have the ability to arm-wrestle with the young man in front of him.

In the end, Tim Cook simply said: "This is why I am worried. If Apple relies too much on China's industrial chain in the future and has no other options, I will be even less optimistic about Apple's future."

Ning Zi looked at Tim Cook and suddenly answered the question: "I recently met a, um, female... no, I should say a female friend. This is also the first time I have made a female friend in my entire life. , she’s a very interesting woman.”

Yes, after hesitating for a moment, Ning Zi finally chose the word female friend instead of Girl friend, which seemed more rigorous. Of course, it probably feels the same when it falls into the ears of Tim Cook. Regardless of his identity, this sentence seems very abrupt.

"While I was waiting for you in the classroom just now, I was looking at her circle of friends and found that she had a lot of ideas that sounded reckless but were quite insightful when you think about it carefully. For example, she believed that the greatest respect for an opponent is to blow it up with one punch; and Yes, before you think about the possibility of being slapped in the future, you should first think about whether you have a future. Of course, I think you have already considered these, so there is no need to continue to waste time. "

Tim Cook smiled and said: "We are indeed very interesting friends. Maybe you can introduce us to each other."

After hearing this, Ning Zi also smiled and said: "Maybe there will be a chance, but let's forget it this time. Just now she was saying that she really wanted to try to knock down your bodyguard with one punch, and then follow you Let’s talk face to face about Apple’s signal issues.”

Well, after hearing this, Tim Cook no longer insisted: "My instinct tells me that I should bet this time. Apple will build a chip R\u0026D center for you. I can accept the conditions you just gave. In the future There are only two brands in the ecological market of high-end strong smart products: Apple and Youwei. Yes, that’s right, you are talking about the full ecological market of smart products.”

This was an expected cooperation. Ning Zi did not show any joy, but first corrected a small mistake in Tim Cook's mouth: "This chip R\u0026D center was not built for me, but for the experience." Big. I have here a detailed list of future cooperation between the two parties. I will provide Apple with certain technical suggestions based on the construction stage and quality of the R\u0026D center to ensure Apple's competitiveness in the high-end market."

After saying that, Ning Zi took out a printed document from her bag and handed it over.

It was still planned as early as March.

As Ning Zi and Chen Yonggang said, Apple's behavior pattern can be predicted.

From the moment Tim Cook decided to make this trip to China, the final compromise has been explained.

The Tim Cook results file, glanced at it, and put it aside.

This is not what he needs to pay attention to. Naturally, there will be professionals who will read this information in detail, then check out the key points, and bargain with the University. So he just raised his glass and said, "Nice to work with."

Ning Zi also raised his glass and said: "If we can really cooperate happily, maybe the glory of Intel, AMD, Qualcomm and all current chip foundry companies will become history. Are you looking forward to it?"

Tim Cook suddenly felt that maybe this cooperation might not be so pleasant.

As he just said, the most ideal situation for Apple is to always have the power to choose the industry chain and the patents used. Fortunately, even if this can achieve the effect Ning Zi said, it cannot be a short-term thing.

As Ning Zhe said, he is 57 years old this year. He believes that for at least twenty years, a research and development center is unlikely to really pose a threat to the current semiconductor industry chain.

After all, chips are not software. From chip design to final shaping, there are too many processes to go through, and the industries involved are too huge. As for twenty years later, he is already 77, and it is impossible for him to adapt to the intensity of work of Apple CEO.

What’s more, not every business venture can be successful. Many times young people's self-confidence is just an expectation for the future. In fact, this kind of research is more likely to fail.

Well, even if he does succeed twenty years later, if he is still alive at that time, he should already be enjoying life. No need to worry about these things. From this point of view, Ning Zi’s female friend is right. When you are worried about being slapped in the future, the first thing you should consider is whether there is a future.

After drinking the red wine in the glass, Tim Cook changed the subject and said, "By the way, I heard that you want to recruit Professor Lamar?"

Ning Zi nodded candidly and replied, "Yes."

Tim Cook smiled and said: "Then maybe I can help. Of course, I won't take the initiative to persuade him, but if he makes up his mind, I can help him solve some worries. For example, if Professor Lamar really decides to stay If he is in China, I can help him deal with the attitude of Berkeley; if he has family members who need to be sent to China, Apple can also help."

This is already a huge favor.

Many times people's decisions are troubled by these trivial matters. If there is a giant like Apple to help with the aftermath, it will undoubtedly make things much easier.

In fact, any super company with a pure cash reserve of more than 250 billion US dollars, regardless of other valuations, can easily accomplish things that are difficult to achieve in the eyes of many big bosses.

Ning Zi knew this, but he knew even better that a CEO who could help the company make so much money definitely didn't have the habit of helping others everywhere. So he asked: "What about the request?"

Tim Cook did not refuse, but said seriously: "I have only one request. Please help me tell your female friend not to want to be my bodyguard again. They have never seen Chinese Kung Fu. If they are all beaten by one She was knocked down by a punch. Next time she comes to China, it will be difficult to find bodyguards. Also regarding the problem of poor signal... If she needs it, we can provide her with a special edition."

Ning Zi was silent, then smiled: "Thank you, I will take the time to tell her."

…

What follows is a period of intense negotiations between the two parties.

Tim Cook's schedule is very tight, and he only stayed in Beijing for one more day before going around China to inspect China's industrial chain and foundries. Apple's negotiation team stayed at the University of Sports and discussed detailed issues with school representatives to finally reach an investment and construction plan.

Ning Zi did indeed convey the goodwill conveyed by Tim Cook to Lu Xiaoya.

Sister Yaoqiang reluctantly agreed to the request not to take action against the old man's bodyguard. After all, the old man was over fifty years old, so she still had to give him some face. Well, respect the old and love the young...

Regarding the old man's plan to give her a special version of Apple, Lu Xiaoya refused without hesitation.

In Lu Xiaoya's original words: "Bah, a small sugar-coated bullet wants to corrode me? That's so disrespectful! Isn't it worth a big sugar-coated bullet if I want a strong sister? You and that old gentleman He said, he gave me the apple directly, so I reluctantly accepted it."

how to say……

Ning Zi thought it was a good idea to have a strong sister. He decided to fulfill his desire to have a strong sister, so he ordered two kilograms of red Fuji apples online at his own expense. He left Lu Xiaoya’s phone number and address, and specifically stated in the note, Apple Inc. Gift.

In any case, the acquaintance with Sister Yaoqiang added a lot of joy to Ning Zi's extremely boring life. Even my mentality gradually became brighter, and I even learned to joke with others.

This is definitely a welcome change for many people.

For example, Chen Yonggang.

The principal has always felt that Ning Zi was too rigid and serious, but things have changed recently, and he actually learned to laugh.

Of course, Principal Chen is more than happy.

Apple’s investment plan was finally finalized after a week of negotiations.

The two parties have officially signed the contract, which means that in about a year, one building will contain two materials laboratories, two software laboratories, a chemistry laboratory, a biology laboratory, a quantum laboratory, and an optical laboratory. A chip structure laboratory and a large-scale chip R\u0026D center with a fully automated chip research base are about to be built at the University.

What the university needs to be responsible for is to secure research and development land as soon as possible, while Apple is responsible for paying for it, ordering equipment, and guiding and supervising these high-standard laboratories according to preset standards.

Of course, this is no longer a matter of huge investment. Relative to the money invested, those equipment are the most valuable.

The fact that Apple spent huge sums of money to build this chip R\u0026D center at Yanbei University of Sports even made the news at 7 o'clock every day.

This also allowed Chen Yonggang to keep his back straight no matter what activities he participated in during this period.

Especially at the land approval meeting, Chen Yonggang arrogantly slapped the plan for the chip R\u0026D center invested by Apple on the table. Then he began to preach again about Yanbei University’s determination to develop into a world-class research and development university. He also expressed his sincere hope that the higher-ups would consider it comprehensively and equip the university with more supporting facilities and funds.

If Chen Yonggang said this before, few people would take it to heart, but this time it is obviously different.

After all, word has spread throughout college circles and related industries that once the chip R\u0026D center cooperated by Apple and the University of Sports is really built, it will be the most comprehensive and advanced chip R\u0026D center in the country. It is said that after completion, the equipment, instruments and modernization level of the R\u0026D center will be conservatively estimated to be at least five years ahead of relevant domestic laboratories.

Secondly, the key lies in its comprehensiveness, which involves almost every step of chip development. One software laboratory is responsible for the task of researching EDA software, and the other software laboratory is doing research on artificial intelligence and hardware matching.

The new materials laboratory is used to screen materials for new types of chips, and the supporting chip structure laboratory is used to break through the patent restrictions of traditional silicon-based two-dimensional chips, try to make breakthroughs in multiple fields, and create new types of chips...

Optics, chemistry, biology and quantum laboratories are designed to try to build biochips and quantum chips.

These are the reasons why this R\u0026D center did not purchase modern semiconductor chip basic equipment such as traditional advanced photolithography machines and etching machines.

But no matter what, if this chip R\u0026D center can be successfully built, most related research institutes and laboratories will have a basis for cooperation with the University. Maybe there will be projects in the future that can be used by others. .

It may be impossible for ordinary people to understand that laboratory instruments with the same function are just different brands and models, but to users, it can even be said that they are not the same thing at all.

Hardware standards such as sensitivity, dynamic range, spectrum analysis rate, response speed, noise level, per capita computing resources, etc. directly determine the upper limit of scientific research. After all, for most disciplines, the so-called scientific research is nothing more than a process of trial and error.

Really, scientific research is actually very similar to the free online game system that is particularly popular in China.

Civilian players do not have various magical equipment bonuses, so they can only work crazy every day, but even so, many achievements in the game are still impossible to obtain.

But the top krypton gold boss is different. He is dressed in top-notch divine clothing and has a top-notch baby. Even if he stands there and lets a group of civilian players fight during PK, he will not lose a trace of blood. He can really kill an entire city with just one person.

For scientific researchers, laboratory instruments and equipment are equipment. Poor laboratories may still use old equipment from more than ten years ago. The errors in various data seem to be astonishing now. This kind of laboratory has the largest The purpose is actually to give students practice. Even if they are hard-working and talented researchers, they will not be able to publish good articles in this kind of laboratory.

As long as the editors of any journal that is a bit reliable and is not the kind that pays to be included in the paper, they will shake their heads and throw the paper into the trash can as soon as they see the laboratory equipment listed in the paper. This is the standard civilian player.

In those top laboratories, at least the main equipment and instruments are the most advanced. They belong to the kind of magical equipment that can cut 999 blood with one knife. A small associate researcher in their laboratory may be able to make a small mistake. A paper comes.

Now that the university has a world-class chip research center, this is like agreeing that everyone will be an unknown civilian player, but you suddenly spend money like crazy and become the number one in the national server...

At this time, it is no longer a matter of whether the sports university will grab resources. The question everyone is considering has shifted to whether they can get a share of the development of the sports university in the future. Just like Yanbei University proposed the idea of ​​​​merging into a unified university, at this time, it would be a good selling point for the university, so of course it doesn't matter.

Especially when this research center was on the seven o'clock news.

In addition, there is actually another big news in the Chinese academic community.

The 50-year-old Conan Lamar, a Hispanic-American Turing Award winner, an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, an academician of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and an academician of the Spanish Academy of Sciences, publicly announced that he has signed a contract with Yanbei University of Physical Education and Technology and serves as the School of Computer Science at the University of Beijing. The first dean, and presided over the work of the artificial intelligence software laboratory under the Future Chip R\u0026D Center.

As this news spreads, the rise of the university is probably just around the corner.

Of course, what Chen Yonggang was most worried about also happened.

…

"Xiao Chen, the organization has entrusted me to discuss something with you. I hope to put more burden on you and push you to a more important position. You must be mentally prepared."

At the end of November, Chen Yonggang, who attended the seminar on innovative development of higher education, was invited to the office by his former leader of the Ministry of Sports. After the meeting, they drank tea together and exchanged greetings before hearing these words.

For Chen Yonggang, hearing these words was probably unexpected and reasonable.

What is supposed to come will eventually come.

Fortunately, he had already made a plan in his mind, so Chen Yonggang didn't feel like there was anything to be angry about. He just asked in a nonchalant manner: "Oh, is it because the work I did at the University was not satisfactory?"

"What do you say? It's because I recognize your contribution to the University of Physical Education that I plan to let you move. This is good news, and you picked it up?"

"Huh? Where? When?"

"The details haven't been decided yet, but it's basically confirmed that I will return to the General Administration to join the party group. Congratulations, Xiao Chen."

"Oh, then who will take my shift?"

"Why do you ask so many questions?"

"What's wrong? Old leader, I'm about to be promoted, so I'm still hiding this news?"

After thinking about it, the person on the other side reported two names: "You... to be honest, we haven't decided yet and are still arguing. Now it seems that Song Zhengqiang and Shi Yanghong are the most promising."

"Song Zhengqiang and Shi Yanghong? Isn't that right? Aren't they doing very well? Why do you want to come to Ti Da?"

"So, Xiao Chen, you are so high-profile that you want to transform the University into a research-oriented university. After all considerations, you must have a president with experience in the management of a research-oriented university to take over. Next, the school may have to change its name. Maybe there will be a handover at the ministries and commissions. You will know after you hand over, but it will still be noisy when you go up." The leader said calmly.

"Oh, I got it."

Chen Yonggang nodded, and then said very carefully and seriously: "Old leader, please give me a message. Personally, I resolutely obey the orders of the organization. But there is one thing, no matter who takes over my position, please consult first Our school Ning Zi’s opinion.”

"Huh? Do you still need to ask for his opinion on this matter? Why?"

"To tell you the truth, whether it is the project to assist the group or the agreement signed between Apple and us, there is a special clause. I can't remember the specific clause. Those who engage in legal affairs use too many words. It’s too rigorous, and you have to read the contract to find out, but the explanation is that although these are theoretically aided to the University, they are only provided to the University for daily scientific research.”

"What Ning Zi enjoys is the ownership and control of all these devices. In other words, even if the supercomputing center and research center are built and running normally, if he feels unhappy and wants to take away all the computers and equipment inside, It can be transferred as long as you can find a place to receive it, or you can just move it into a warehouse and store it according to the contract. Of course, those fixed buildings are definitely still large properties."

Obviously this question is really embarrassing.

This directly made the leader a little confused, and subconsciously asked: "Why is there such a contract clause?"

Chen Yonggang spread his hands, and then began to cry bitterly: "What can I do about this? You know, people come to invest and build, and they don't really care about the face of the body. They are looking for what Ning Zi can give. Technology. These people all negotiated with Ning Zi first before coming to talk to us. Do you think that just because of the brand name of Yanbei Sports University, these capitalists can invest real money? The legal department has drawn up a contract. If you don’t agree with this, let’s not talk about it. What can I do?”

"Especially when negotiating with Apple, those foreigners licked the young man first, and then looked at us with their nostrils during the negotiation. Have I told anyone about this grievance? Go to the National Sports University and ask about it. When M. Cook came to visit the University of Sports, he didn’t even have dinner with us. He went to have a meal and chat with Ning Zi alone, leaving the general manager of Greater China to deal with us at the dinner."

"Do you really think that I, the principal, can decide these big things? To be honest, I have not wanted to do it for a long time. I am also a dignified secretary and principal, but what I usually do is just running errands. For a student We won’t talk about the decision, the jumping up and down, and I can’t even say anything about how the laboratory will be used in the future. I don’t feel aggrieved! You don’t know that the principal is responsible for this, and I am especially I’ve long since felt that enough is enough.”

"To tell you the truth, even if you don't mention this to me today, I would like to change places quickly. Do you think I don't want to merge with Yanbei University? Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for me to become the vice president of Yanbei University? But I have no choice but to be held back! The little guy refuses to merge, so it’s useless for me to work in private. People have said that I just want to enjoy the process of building the National University into a research university.”

"I have long understood that other students come to college to learn knowledge, but this one comes to college to play business simulation games. Otherwise, why do you think he doesn't go to Yanbei or go abroad directly? , do you have to come to Tiida? Hey, it’s nothing but fun! Every day, I am treated as a tool and I have to do whatever I am told. The reception room in the administrative building has been converted into a private suite. , why? Aren’t you afraid that this guy will get angry and run away? "

"So, before leaving the University, I still suggest that you seek other people's opinions first. For example, let the candidates meet with Ning Jie to talk about future development strategies and how the two sides can cooperate, so that you can be good to me in the future. Hello everyone. This will save me all my people from leaving, and don’t let someone else come up and bother me with a lot of nonsense. I definitely don’t want to deal with it anymore!”

"Do you think that I am very proud of myself and think that I enjoy it? Hey, let me tell you, this is joy in hardship. I was wronged in school and came out. If I can't be proud of myself, I would have exploded long ago. You're not an outsider, so I'll just tell you what's on my mind. I think it's great to let me go at this time. When I'm successful and famous, I can brag about myself wherever I go, and I don't have to continue pretending to be a grandson in front of a student. !”

"By the way, you just happened to take this opportunity to help me respond to the above. In fact, my requirements are not high. It doesn't matter whether I go to the General Administration or not. Since I still have some merit, I will be transferred to the Sports Fund Management Center. , or the Sports Lottery Management Center are all possible, don’t study it over and over again, as long as it can be done quickly, let me get out of the misery of the University of Sports as soon as possible."

After complaining, Chen Yonggang was relieved and picked up the good tea brewed by the old leader and took a long sip.

The old leader was stunned and couldn't answer the question.

Hmm...what the hell...is the internal situation at the University of Tibet so complicated?

Let future candidates for the president of the National Sports University meet with students one by one to discuss their views on the future development of the school?

What about the draft?

And it doesn't look like Chen Yonggang was telling a lie. After all, when he brought it in and thought about it... he seemed quite aggrieved... So was this guy really pretending to be enjoying himself during the meeting?

"Chen Yonggang, are you serious?"

"I'm not an old leader. Just wait. I'll ask the school to fax you a copy of the contract document we signed recently. Let me show it to you and you will know whether I am serious about it or not. To sum up, I will ask for two things. Firstly, you can transfer me away quickly, and secondly, after I am transferred, don’t bother me with these nonsense again.”

"Well, don't worry, I will report it. Just ask them to send the documents first."

"okay!"

…

For Ning Zi, the coming November is very fulfilling.

The construction of the school has drawn another important step. The awesomeness that was boasted at the beginning of the semester has become the recognized future in the eyes of many people.

More importantly, I have two more female friends in my life.

A female friend who can occasionally bicker on WeChat when she is resting her brain, and a female friend who can communicate face to face while shooting a gun.

The only thing that occasionally confused Ning Zi was that both of her friends were women, and their hobbies seemed to be quite similar. For example, these two female friends often share videos and short comments about highly confrontational sports such as street fighting, grappling, routine martial arts, etc. in their circle of friends.

Especially Sister Yao Qiang, who often shares various fighting tips in her circle of friends, which makes people feel really tortured.

After learning that Lu Xiaoya's father, Lao Lu, had won the national championship in free fighting and was still serving as a free fighting coach, Ning Zi could probably understand Sister Yaoqiang's love for fighting.

However, forwarding various comments and videos from the founder of Unlimited Fighting all day long still made Ning Zi feel that it was a little too much. After all, it would be somewhat inconsistent to bring in a cute little girl waving a pair of scissors wildly.

But no matter what, Ning Zi can feel that life is really much richer.

Especially the almost inexhaustible supply of various sand sculpture animations on Lu Xiaoya’s mobile phone, which allowed Ning Zi to experience another kind of life...

All in all it was good.

If we were to write a year-end summary, it would probably be called a bumper year.

However, two uninvited guests came to his room this afternoon. Principal Chen politely brought them in, saying they wanted to discuss with him the change of school leadership.

For Ning Zi, it felt a bit sudden.

Because Chen Yonggang hadn't mentioned this to him before, but when he saw Chen Yonggang sending people in and planning to leave after the introduction, Ning Zi roughly figured out the situation and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

After cooperating for so long, Ning Zi could certainly grasp Chen Yonggang's inner thoughts, and naturally ignored the principal with a grimace on his face.

Instead, he calmly faced the visitor.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the younger person opposite also spoke in a very friendly manner: "Student Ning Ji, this time we are here to talk to you about the leadership change of the sports university. You can talk to us about the sports university. We will keep a record of President Dah Sing’s requirements and his thoughts on the future development of the university and then consider them all.”

Ning Zi asked: "Didn't Principal Chen do a good job? Why do we need to replace him?"

The two looked at each other, and the younger one said: "It is also to better serve the school. Principal Chen has more important work arrangements, and we have also asked his personal opinions..."

"Wait a minute, didn't Principal Chen tell you that his own opinions can't be counted at all?"
