The End of Technology

In the atmospheric office, the old man was talking to his secretary.

"What's going on with the big body? How did it happen?"

"Forehead……"

"Don't hesitate. I heard that people are going to give awards to little guys now. The invitations have been sent to the school, but I can't find anyone to accept them? Is this a problem?"

"Well, I have verified it and it is indeed the case."

"Ha... Okay, very good, great! Some of our comrades have done a good job. They are actively giving advice on education every day. They are talking about cultivating scientists of the new era and retaining talents. What should we do? We received a lot of opinions. Now that we have a child we trained ourselves who has achieved results and won awards, we are starting to think of ways to drive people away. Well, this is to prove our The level of education is still far from enough to spare no efforts?”

The secretary standing aside lowered his head and did not dare to answer.

He has been serving the old man for a long time, so he naturally knows the old man's temperament very well. He seems quite peaceful at this time, but there is a hint of murderous intent in these words.

As expected, when he spoke again, he was filled with murderous intent.

The old man lowered his head and looked at the document, signed it casually, then moved the document towards the secretary, and said: "If this matter cannot be handled well within a week, or the person really leaves, the person handling it will have a plan. One, let them take the initiative to write their resignation report as soon as possible. If they don’t want to do these jobs well, then they shouldn’t do them. It’s best for everyone to be decent. If anyone doesn’t want to be decent this time, I will personally help him. In addition, you will do it later. Go ask Li Rongchang directly how he does things!"

"Yes!" The secretary took the document from the desk and left quickly.

In three years, this was the first time he had seen the old man get so angry.

…

"Chen Yonggang, Principal Chen, can I beg you? Where is Ning Zi? Can you go find this man?"

"No, old leader, my phone has almost become a dedicated line. All the people calling me ask about this matter. I really don't know! If I want to know, let alone apologize, I will kowtow to him now. Okay! You don’t know, I don’t even dare to stay in the principal’s office now. As long as I’m caught in the office, I really don’t have to do anything... You said that it’s like this, how can I still hide it?”

"Tell me the truth, do you really not know?"

"I have called the young man hundreds of times in the past few days, but no one answered. How can I know where he is? If you don't believe me, I will show you the call records. I was so anxious that I called the police. !”

"Would it be useful for you to call the police? I've followed his last movement path... Ning Zi is so cruel. He didn't even turn on his mobile phone for such a long time! He didn't even log in to his email address once. Yes! Is he really not afraid of missing something important? "

"No, have you even checked these?"

"If you don't check? How can you find the person if you don't check? Now I can only confirm that he has not left the country, but I really can't find him. Xiao Chen, I was a little confused about this matter, but I didn't treat him badly before. I’ll pass you by, right? If you want to know something, don’t hide it, okay?”

"Old leader, I almost want to swear! I really don't know! Otherwise, Ning Zi is very close to a girl in the school. I will ask again to see if there is any news about her."

"That girl named Lu?"

"You even know this?"

"Nonsense! Can I not know? Let me tell you, this time I am really not joking with you. Many people are affected this time, and it spans departments. You have to mention it at the physical education level. No problem. You also know , this time it’s almost 100% passable. But if you still can’t get Ningji back within three days at most, it’s not a matter of whether you raise it or not. When the time comes, everyone will explode together, and no one will be able to get it. .”

"Of course I know about the powerful relationship, but I have to know the situation. In this case, I will go and inquire about it."

"Okay, remember, three days, three days at most, we must find him. Comrade Xiao Chen, you have to know that the New Year is coming next month. Can so many people have a good New Year? I count on you."

"..."

Oh shit……

Chen Yonggang was completely speechless.

He is just the principal of a small sports university. How are you doing during the New Year? It has nothing to do with him!

…

Chen Yonggang let out a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone. He finally understood why Ning Zi refused to tell him where he was.

Under this kind of pressure, let alone a week, he would have to do everything in one day.

Even though the old leader's words were very polite today, yesterday's phone call was full of curses.

Now everyone involved is as if they have been fed by gunpowder. They have no choice but to be forced into this situation.

He is now as if he is sitting on a powder keg that may explode at any time. He can only pray that no small flames suddenly appear at this time, otherwise it will really explode and he will become even more popular...

Really, every time he thought about Ning Zi's words, he wanted to quit his job and start over at a new school at worst.

It's a pity that when his resignation report is typed out at this time, it will be torn into pieces as soon as it is submitted.

After so many years of work, this is the first time Chen Yonggang has experienced such a big scene.

Ning Zi played too hard.

Especially the exquisite invitation letter from the International Computer Federation, it came at the perfect time.

With one slap, everyone was unable to find Bei.

For example, Principal Song, who had been active for a long time, was completely cold. This is no longer rumored. Most of the work at hand has been handed over, and the very capable father-in-law behind him has not shown up now.

The big problem is that this matter has gone too far. It was agreed that it would be a month, but it was only 20 days ago that Chen Yonggang couldn't bear it anymore, but there were still seven or eight days left before Ning Jie's original plan. He really couldn't hold on anymore. There was no other way. The people affected this time Too much. If everyone is really offended, the trouble will be really big.

Unable to wait any longer, Chen Yonggang took out his cell phone and called Ge Dongshu.

He really didn't believe it anymore. Ning Zi's social circle in the capital was not large. If anyone helped hide him, it would only be the Youwei Group.

The call was quickly connected, but before he could speak, the other party asked: "Principal Chen, have you found Ning Ju?"

"Mr. Ge, I still want to ask you about this. Didn't you help Ning Zi hide?"

"Us? How did you think it would be us? I'm worried now. The M10 wanted to be launched in Europe before Christmas. There are still several privacy technical issues that I hope he can help fix. This can not only maximize the capabilities of the voice assistant, but also avoid some possible risks. As a result, we can’t contact people now, so we have almost completely cut off the functions in order to be able to go on the market.”

"It's really not you?"

"That's not true! You're not the only one who asked us here. Come on, Principal Chen, do you have to think of a solution? There's no news from a living person for such a long time. It's better not to have any accidents."

Chen Yonggang could hear a hint of anxiety in the sharp energy of Ge Dongshu's words.

To be honest, Youwei Group may indeed be more worried about Ning Zi's safety than him at this time.

He hadn't thought of this at first, but now he was worried.

If there really is a security issue...

Chen Yonggang suddenly broke out in cold sweat. If this man lost a hair, he couldn't bear it.

"Okay, I'll find a way to find someone quickly. Damn...this is a big deal!"

"Well, I'll give you the number of the Youwei Liaison Office in Beijing later. If you need any help, you can contact them directly."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ge."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yonggang thought of the steps Ning Jie said and decided to look for Lu Xiaoya.

This is the only clue he can think of now.

It is impossible for Ning Zi to find a place arranged by Apple for him...

Those 80 people are no longer in the capital.

…

In the simply decorated room, Ning Zi, who has almost driven countless people crazy, is immersed in the photonic chip prototype board displayed on the computer screen.

This is a prototype board designed purely to solve the Ising problem. It is designed based on the optical computing architecture of pure photon physics phenomena. There is no doubt about the advanced nature, which can be regarded as Ning Zi’s biggest achievement during these twenty days of retreat.

If nothing else happens, after the future chip R\u0026D center is built, corresponding prototype boards can be made based on the current results.

However, at present, this kind of photonic chip board has no commercial value, and it is not even comparable to the research and development progress of quantum computers. Because its only function is to verify the Ising problem and then try to solve N=NP? question.

The reason for its narrow application is that this photon computing mode is best at linear calculations including higher-dimensional parallel calculations. But if you do AI calculations such as convolutional neural networks, there is no advantage at all, because this thing has too many restrictions when reading other operators and reading memory.

The current problem is to design the corresponding optical algorithm to solve this specialized problem. This is again an extremely complex area.

Ning Zi has already written another paper. When it is published, it will trigger widespread discussion. In March, he will select suitable targets from the discussion and then find ways to attract suitable talents to the University. In this way, when the chip R\u0026D center invested by Apple is completed, there will be a reliable scientist who is proficient in optical computing to promote the project.

Writing a paper to put bait is an idea derived from the fact that turbulence algorithm can catch treasure scientists like Conan Lamar.

Scientists worth recruiting cannot be determined solely by the number of awards they win. Otherwise, it is easy to attract too much attention early in development. And in many cases, the number of awards won does not represent the ability of those scientists to solve problems now and in the future.

The paper was sent out in March and is still under review.

Of course, Little Cutie in March is here. Although he has turned off his mobile phone and has not logged into his email, Ning Zi still knows what is happening in the outside world. As for where he lives now - it's actually in the largest community outside the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing.

The community is so big that there are three subway stations alone. Countless young people struggling in the capital rent here. Naturally, one more Ning Zi would not be noticeable. And because most people rent here, they don’t care about their neighbors. In addition, Ning Zi almost never left the house, so it was even harder to find traces.

In fact, it is not particularly difficult to hide in a metropolis with a population of more than 20 million, most of which are migrant workers. If there is a kitten that can naturally help isolate the clues obtained through the Internet, and someone cooperates to provide a house to live in, and helps to purchase various daily necessities once a week, it can almost really disappear.

…

"Ding dong"

The doorbell rang outside the door.

Ning Zi finished her thinking, glanced at the kitten on the table, stretched, stood up, walked to the living room, and opened the door.

The woman outside the door glanced at Ning Zi, and then walked into the room. Ning Zi closed the door, and she walked into the refrigerator in the kitchen in a familiar manner and put the things in the bag into the refrigerator. A gentle voice also came from the kitchen. in the living room.

"Mr. Zhang was scolded badly today. If you don't go back, I think the company will soon be replaced by a vice president."

That's right, the house where Ning Zi lives belongs to Zhai Qiuxian, the coach who taught him how to shoot.

In fact, after seeing off his traveling family at the airport that day, he was able to get here smoothly and undetected, thanks to this female bodyguard who was well versed in various investigative techniques. In addition, the cold weather in Beijing in winter also helped a lot.

In the car, he put on an exaggerated and heavy down jacket, a big hat, a mask, and a pair of prescription sunglasses, which were enough to make Ning's father unable to recognize his son.

Asking Zhai Qiuxian for help was also a last resort.

It would not be easy for Ning Zi to disappear in the capital for a month without help.

But asking for help from others will always leave loopholes. Only Coach Zhai would be almost unaffected if he could keep the secret.

After all, the two of them didn't interact much. He only went to practice shooting twice a month.

Moreover, due to Zhai Qiuxian's cold temperament and special status, even if someone came to inquire about her, they would be dismissed in a word or two.

The only thing that Ning Zi didn't expect was that the coach happened to have a small house here.

And the communication was extremely smooth.

Ning Zi mentioned it softly during the gun practice, hoping to find a place to stay temporarily for a month to ensure control of the chip R\u0026D center after Apple's investment. Only in the future can more wealthy people in that country choose to jump off buildings. Coach Zhai Then agreed.

Of course, the two didn't live together.

In fact, Zhai Qiuxian didn't live in this house much before. Due to work reasons, Qiangdun Company provides accommodation for the company's business backbone, so that if there is an emergency task, they can arrive in time. Zhai Qiuxian only chose to stay here for a while when she was on vacation.

During this period, Zhai Qiuxian would come here from time to time every week, bringing some things and daily necessities, and then return to the company.

At least so far, no one has found any trace of Ning Zi.

…

"Has Zhang Haifeng been scolded?"

"Um."

"Then it seems I should go back."

Zhai Qiuxian walked out of the kitchen, glanced at the kitten lying in the living room, and said, "It's really time to go back. I don't raise cats, so I can't buy cat food and cat litter, otherwise it may arouse suspicion. But this cat is quite clean. . There is no peculiar smell in the room. But it must not have been eating very well recently."

"Well, it's convenient to go outside." Ning Zi explained casually.

Fortunately, Zhai Qiuxian's house is on the second floor. It is indeed not high for a cat, so it can come and go freely.

Zhai Qiuxian shrugged and did not continue the topic.

She has not been interested in stuffed animals since she was a child.

"You're just going to go back like that?"

"Before I wanted to hide and be quiet for a few days, I really didn't think about how to go back. What do you think about going back secretly as an excuse to pack up your things and run away?"

Zhai Qiuxian looked at Ning Zi as if she were looking at an idiot.

Although she knew very well that the young man in front of her was not an idiot at all.

But after a while, she no longer planned to discuss this issue with Ning Zi.

"I'll find a way to send you to Houhai later, and then you can find a way to get back to your size."

"Why are you there in Houhai?"

"Because it's lively there, it's convenient for you to take a taxi, and you won't get lost. Besides, I don't want to have anything to do with this matter."

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Ning Zi promised.

Indeed there will be no connection.

At this time, if anyone dares to ask where Ning Zi has been hiding during this period...well, a person with such an IQ is most likely not qualified to sit across from Ning Zi and ask questions.

"Do you remember where I dropped you off?"

"Remember."

"I'm going to drive first. I'll go out in ten minutes and go directly to where you got off the car last time."

I once again put on the exaggeratedly heavy clothes when I came here, put on my hat and glasses, put the kitten in the pocket of my clothes, and put on my makeshift backpack. Almost exactly ten minutes.

Ning Zi walked out of this room for the first time in more than twenty days.

Fortunately, it was neither early nor late at this time, and there was no one in the building. Ning Zi did not choose the elevator, but walked out of the corridor from the stairs and strolled to the road where she got off the car last time. A silver car was already waiting there.

Opening the car door, sitting in the back seat, and seeing the pile of clothes that had been prepared for him, Ning Zi consciously began to change. Glass with reflective film can block all prying eyes. Of course, no one would peep into the moving car.

Soon Ning Zi changed back to her previous attire, including her computer backpack.

"Do you want me to take this suit of clothes out of the car and throw them away later?"

"No, I'll take care of it."

"How much did it cost in total? I'll pass it on to you later."

"What? Are you afraid that my leader won't be able to catch me helping you hide it for so long?"

"Oh, you're so careful."

"Industry specializing in surgery."

After the simple conversation, the car fell into silence.

About an hour later, the car stopped. Ning Zi nodded to the driver and got out of the car.

The location chosen is really good. It happens to be in the blind spot of the surveillance. In addition, I drove relatively fast before. If I accelerator and press the pedal deeper when starting, I would probably not think that this car had been parked on the side of the road for a while. This is indeed the case with Coach Zhai. made.

Of course, this judgment was not made by Ning Zi, but by the kitten in his pocket that had poked its head out. When it comes to spying on cameras, the March Cutie is a cheater, so there's basically no need to doubt what he said. This also shows that Coach Zhai is indeed professional.

Ning Zi ignored Mao Mao's comment. After waiting for ten minutes, she closed her collar and moved under the guidance of March. This place was only about 500 meters away from Metro Line 4.

He was in no hurry anyway.

…

Yanbei is big.

Chen Yonggang dragged his tired steps and walked out of Building 3 of the women's dormitory along with the freshman counselor from the martial arts academy. Obviously, the so-called steps that Ning Zi mentioned before were just a casual joke.

No one knows where Ning Zi is now.

No one knows when he will return.

He has already thought of all the ways he can think of. Anyway, there is no other way, so he can only think in an optimistic direction - building a new school, not only can he be the principal, but the welfare benefits can be tripled, which is actually quite good. .

Chen Yonggang has even begun to consider which people from the University of Sports have pioneering ability and are likely to be poached. If he can have a few more knowledgeable and capable assistants, he can also build up the school's structure as soon as possible. At least he can't delay Ning Zi when he goes to a new school. His hind legs, otherwise he would look too useless.

Just when his mind was in a mess, he suddenly felt someone tugging on his sleeve. When he came to his senses, the voice of the counselor next to him penetrated into his ears: "Principal Chen, Principal Chen, we are being called from above. "

Chen Yonggang stopped in shock and turned around to see, sure enough, two girls were waving at him in front of the window on the third floor. After a while, Lu Xiaoya rushed out from the door of the women's dormitory.

"Huh... Principal Chen, just now, Ning Zi sent me a message just now, saying that he was on the subway and would go back to school later. I told him that you were still in the dormitory just now, and he asked me to follow you. Say it, don’t worry.”

Happiness came so suddenly that Chen Yonggang couldn't react for a moment and subconsciously repeated: "On the subway?"

Lu Xiaoya nodded fiercely and said, "Yes, on the subway."

"Is there no subway station near our school?"

"Uh...then I didn't ask."

"Quickly ask him which line he is on and where he is going to get off the subway. I will send a car to pick him up right now."

"oh……"

"He said he got off at Guancun on Line 4..."

"Okay, classmate Lu, please keep your mobile phone open. If I can't get through to Ningji later, I'll contact you." After saying that, Chen Yonggang took out his mobile phone from his pocket and trotted towards the administration building. The sound drifted over with the evening breeze...

"Prepare the car immediately and pick me up from the second body..."

Lu Xiaoya glanced at the counselor who was still standing there in a daze, stuck out her tongue, and said, "Teacher Xue, I'll go back first."

"Oh, oh, go back. Slow down, don't be in a hurry."

"Thank you, Teacher Xue, for your concern."

She politely thanked her, but the girl still jumped up and ran towards the dormitory.

Speaking of which, Lu Xiaoya is in a good mood...

Ning Zi is back, and her life can finally return to normal. This is truly the peace of the school.

At least, finally there would no longer be a group of people chasing her every day asking where Ning Zi had gone.

Wait, Lu Xiaoya suddenly realized, this guy turned on his phone, why did he send her a WeChat message first? Is it because she doesn’t have enough things on her plate? !

This guy……

…

When Chen Yonggang saw Ning Zi walking out of the subway station through the car window with a relaxed look on his face, he almost shed tears.

Thinking back to when he discussed this matter with Ning Zi last month, he felt confident that it wouldn't be a big problem to get through this month.

But who would have thought that after just two weeks, he already felt like he couldn't survive it. These days have been like a year, and he hasn't had a good night's sleep. At this time, looking at her brisk steps, it looks like she just came back from vacation...

After being stunned for a moment, Chen Yonggang quickly opened the door, got out of the car, waved to Ning Zi who had just walked out of the subway platform, and shouted: "Ning Zi, this way, this way..."

Ning Zi turned her head, saw Chen Yonggang, and walked over.

"Principal Chen."

"You are willing to show your face. Where have you been hiding for so long?"

"In the bridge hole over Houhai."

Chen Yonggang was stunned. Fortunately, he saw that Ning Zi didn't look embarrassed at all, and there was no dust on the cat in this guy's arms, so he realized that he was joking with him again. I could only smile bitterly and say: "Get in the car first, and then we'll talk about it later."

…

"The matter of raising the school's administrative level by one level has basically been decided. Now we are waiting for you to come back. As long as the agreement between the group and Apple is restarted, it will be passed immediately."

"The superiors have specially supervised this matter. Anyway, if you have any requests, they can be met at this time. By the way, the International Computer Federation has sent you a letter. We have inquired and it should be an invitation to attend the graphics conference held in Seattle. The Turing Award dinner. In fact, the person opposite wanted to contact you, but couldn’t. I called the work several times, and finally said that you should have been selected for this year’s Turing Award. Congratulations, Ning Zi.”

"oh!"

Ning Zi nodded, and then said: "There is nothing to congratulate. I just contacted them on the subway. This year, including me, there are four Turing Awards. It is the first time in the history of the Turing Awards that they are awarded in the same year." To four winners. Coincidentally, this year’s winners are all researching artificial intelligence. Their contributions lie in probabilistic modeling of sequences, high-dimensional word embedding and attention mechanisms, generative adversarial networks, backpropagation, Boltz Man machine, modified convolutional neural network, improved backpropagation algorithm, broadened the perspective of neural network...so I have made it clear that I will not go to the scene to win the award."

Chen Yonggang was stunned and asked: "Ah? Why?"

Ning Zi looked at Chen Yonggang and said, "Didn't I explain clearly enough just now?"

Chen Yonggang shook his head, still looking confused.

Ning Zi patiently explained again: "Because their contributions are not in line with my achievements. Computer deep learning is still in the development stage. Although many results have been achieved, it has indeed made computers more advanced in many fields. Smart, but not disruptive. My result is that the computer can bypass the so-called deep learning and directly have a certain thinking ability. These are contributions from two different dimensions. They are awarded in the same year. You can see To do it was a disgrace to what I had done.”

"Hmm... So you also want to refuse the award?"

"When did I say that I refused to receive the award? I just refused to go to the scene to receive the award on the same stage as the other winners, but I did not refuse the trophy and bonus. Don't worry, I will not do anything to make myself suffer and save others money. "

Chen Yonggang didn't know what to say for a while.

I just learned a little bit.

Winning the Turing Award is a humiliation. If this word spreads, countless people will probably beg to be humiliated by the International Computer Federation, right?

Chen Yonggang felt that Ning Zi's perspective on thinking was really strange, but on second thought, it was probably because of his self-confidence and pride, as well as his willingness not to suffer, that he could support him in achieving these achievements, right?

At this moment, Chen Yonggang felt that life was getting more and more promising. With the support of such a proud and capable genius who did not act impulsively, the good days were definitely yet to come!

Thinking that next school year, after the children of the class of 2018 enter school, the school will have two Turing Award winners and two Fields Medal winners, Chen Yonggang unconsciously straightened his back. The frustration felt during this period was completely gone.

…

In fact, the decision not to go to receive the award was actually made long ago. Because in fact, Ning Zi already knew through March that there were three winners this year.

For this reason, the cute little girl lost her temper in March. The kitten was very angry, and the consequences were almost serious...

After all, while Ning Zi could remain indifferent to this so-called humiliation, Mao Mao could not.

Yes, in fact, the person who feels most humiliated is March Little Cutie. In its words, comparing the achievements of laying a solid foundation for artificial intelligence with real artificial intelligence is simply more difficult for cats than directly declaring war. accept.

So it is naturally impossible to go to receive the award on site.

However, Ning Jie did not give up the bonus. In the words of March, all those little mice are just meat...

And if Ning Zi directly refuses the bonus, it means that three people who should not receive the bonus will each get an extra US$80,000, which is even more unacceptable. Anyway, if you don’t go to the award ceremony on site, the bowl-shaped trophy you should get will still have to be mailed to China. Then it can be placed in the exhibition hall of the National Sports University. The US$250,000 prize money you should get must not be less, and it can be used for Purchase various consumables for the laboratory...

Using the enemy's money to develop your own technology is the way to go.

From this point of view, March is still absolutely rational and will not give up the benefits he deserves because of anger. This is definitely one of the basic qualities that a mature cat needs to possess.

…

When Chen Yonggang's car parked in front of the administrative building of the University of Sport, the good news that Ning Zi returned to the University spread at the speed of light.

God knows how many people breathed a long sigh of relief the moment they received the news, and the long-lost smile once again appeared on their faces.

For example, Chen Yonggang's old boss even uncharacteristically asked him to come over when he had time and take away the two remaining cans of the good tea from last time.

There were also people who didn't stop in the middle of the night and rushed directly to Ning Zi's room in the administrative building of the University.

"Where are you hiding?" Zhang Haifeng asked, staring at Ning Zi.

Ning Zi could tell that Mr. Zhang was really not having a good life recently. He didn't need to be keenly observant, but the contrast was very strong.

After all, this person had always paid attention to his image when he appeared in front of him before.

Not a hair will be messed up.

But today is obviously different. Not only is her hair a little messy, but her eyes are also heavily covered with dark circles, and even her clothes are wrinkled.

However, Ning Zi's answer was still very simple: "I can give you another chance. I hide and you find."

After hearing this, Zhang Haifeng was stunned for a moment, and then his momentum suddenly disappeared...

"No, it's enough to experience this kind of thing once. Now you have met all your requirements. No one is watching Chen Yonggang's position anymore. Can we let everything return to normal?"

"oh!"

"Oh what do you mean?"

"I just know it and will consider it."

Zhang Haifeng shut up. He looked like an idiot if he continued the conversation like this...

But there was nothing he could do. His original mission was to protect Ning Zi, but Ning Zi disappeared under his nose for twenty-three days. More than one person had already expressed disappointment in his ability.

Chen Yonggang's pressure is at least controllable, but his pressure is infinite.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Haifeng said: "I will send Coach Zhai here, and she will arrange your travel plans from now on. You should be considered acquaintances, this should be acceptable, right?"

Ning Zi looked at Zhang Haifeng, turned his head slightly, and snorted: "Huh? Do you want to control my freedom of movement?"

Zhang Haifeng looked at Ning Zi and said seriously: "I don't mean that, it's just for your safety. Even if you hide again, there must be someone by your side to ensure your safety. I will tell her that I will completely listen to your arrangements. You even You can ask her not to disclose your whereabouts. Think about it, you don’t need to arrange for someone else to practice shooting in the future, she can take you there directly. "

Ning Zi looked at Zhang Haifeng, who looked serious, and suddenly didn't know how to evaluate it.

Speaking of which, Coach Zhai really did not disclose his whereabouts to anyone for more than 20 days.

"Whatever, but I'm tired and need a rest, so I won't send it off." Ning Zi said expressionlessly.

This sentence seems familiar...

By the way...that's what Ning Zi said last time.

Well, someone must guard the door this time...

…

With Ning Ju's return, the storm finally subsided.

The most obvious change is that the four buildings under construction in the school have restarted.

Especially in the computer building, several tower cranes started working again.

The "clang" sound that made many people feel irritated before seems to be less noisy and even a little pleasant after work resumes.

After all, as long as work resumes, it means that the university has not returned to its past. After experiencing some things, many students still feel different. After all, Yanbei University is not an ordinary university, but a university that was almost merged with or merged with Yanbei University.

The contract with Apple also stipulates that performance will be restarted.

This time, 380 acres of land were approved almost at the speed of light as the future dedicated land for the chip research center of the University of Sports. And it is about two kilometers southeast of the school. This is already a huge feat. After all, Sports University cannot compare with Yanbei University, and the total area of ​​the main campus is only 1,130 acres.

It is equivalent to directly expanding the area of ​​​​the body by one-third. Although there is a distance, two kilometers is really nothing to complain about. The external bidding has been completed, and the construction team has begun to move in.

In addition, two foreign friends, Dominette Duncan and Conan Lamar, no longer broke their contract and left. Everything seems to be back to the peaceful state it once was.

Of course, the most reassuring thing for everyone was that the Ning family who went on a trip returned to the capital as promised.

This at least shows that Ning Zi really wants his family to travel abroad.

Of course, just like no one knows where Ning Zi has been hiding for more than 20 days, no one can say whether Ning Zi's family will directly settle abroad if this incident is not handled properly.

So just in time for the final exam week, the University was upgraded to a vice-ministerial unit as expected.

At this time, it doesn't matter whether Ning Zi is playing double act with Chen Yonggang. Anyway, everyone knows that the university cannot take advantage of it.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, even if Yanbei University wants doctoral students to attend lectures, they have to pay honestly. How can it be so easy to take advantage of it?

Of course, most of Ning Ju's family members also returned to their previous peaceful lives.

Resignation applications and the like were selectively forgotten by the leaders with a tacit understanding, and even the benefits at the end of the year were more than others.

Ning Jie didn't care about these things. There is no need for him to ask.

In this way, after the Ning family happily went on a trip, the family's first Spring Festival in the capital came within a few days.

The Ning family spent their first Spring Festival in Beijing directly at the National Sports University. That's right, it's the small villa built specifically for Ning Jie by Ti University.

With the principal's supervision, the small villa specially built for Ning Jie was not only built, but also decorated at the end of January.

Especially in terms of decoration, no money was saved. Everything is made of the most environmentally friendly materials and branded appliances.

Although the house is not big, with the upper and lower floors adding up to just over 200 square meters, and a layout of four bedrooms and two living rooms, it has a large backyard and is in a quiet location, not too far from the canteen and the sports ground.

Of course, the suite in the administrative building was also reserved for Ning Zi.

The two residences have different functions. This is suitable for family gatherings, but the administrative building is obviously more convenient for Ningzi to study and work.

Ning Zi didn't refuse.

In fact, there was no need for him to refuse. Whether it was a department sponsored by the group or a chip research and development center sponsored by Apple, they could all be discounted.

Although in theory Ningji still has absolute control and use rights over the internal instruments and equipment, at least the symbolic management rights still belong to the University. Moreover, when the research results are published in the future, the signature of the institution must also be brought with it.

The value of this is naturally not comparable to that of a villa.

The Spring Festival was also very lively.

In fact, the Ning family's Spring Festival has never been so lively as this year.

Ning Zi did not go out during the entire Spring Festival. Anyway, people came to visit her every day to pay New Year greetings...

Fortunately, there is an uncle and his family who are in charge of the kitchen.

The happiest person is probably Ning Yulin. After all, little girls like to be lively. This time they went abroad to see a lot, and when they came back to catch up with the Spring Festival, it was lively every day.

The most important thing is that Xiao Nizi’s score in the final exam was pretty good. Although I went out to play a lot in the last month, at least this time I scored over 100 in Chinese and over 80 in math. English made the biggest progress, with a total score of 116 out of 120.

Well, Ning Zi couldn't ask for more from Ning Yulin's math scores. No matter what, he is at least at the level of a normal junior high school student now.

In this way, the entire February was spent in a happy and peaceful atmosphere.

Not long after the winter vacation, the International Computer Federation officially announced the list of 2018 Turing Award winners on its official website.

Ning Zi's name ranked first.
