Boss Wu invited him in.
When Boss Wu saw Gu Shao, he immediately put on a fawning smile.
"I took the liberty to visit you again today. I hope I didn't disturb you, Professor Gu." Boss Wu paused for a moment before explaining his intentions, "I'm here today to talk to you about the new scoring system for the competition."
"Professor Gu might have already seen it online, but I thought it would be better to come and talk to you in person."
"In order to avoid mistakes in the scoring system again, we invited more authoritative experts to form a panel of judges to grade the topics in the competition. According to the evaluation of the experts, Gu Xi's topic deserved the highest score."
After saying that, CEO Wu sneaked a glance at Gu Shao's slightly relaxed expression before continuing, "Previously, we did not conduct a more rigorous review of the topic and listened to the one-sided statements of the experts. On this point, we were indeed negligent in our work. Once again, I would like to express my apologies for our previous mistakes and lack of rigor."
Boss Wu was not only apologizing, but he was also drawing a line between himself and Liu Dexing.
Originally, Wu Pei thought that Liu Dexing would understand why they did not invite Liu Dexing as the head judge. However, he did not expect Liu Dexing to be so unsightly in this matter. Just because his grandson's topic did not get first place, Liu Dexing's group was defamed.
If he had not kicked a steel plate and had been in Liu Dexing's group, he would have been forced to swallow this loss.
What made Wu Pei even more surprised was that Liu Dexing's grandson's research project was also stolen from someone else, not to mention the fact that it was done under the table.
Wu Pei was also taken aback by the news of Liu Dexing being exposed online. He never thought that his former classmate and good friend would be so vicious behind his back.
Even though there was no indication of who was behind all this, Boss Wu could easily guess that other than Gu Shao, there was probably no other person who could so easily topple a mountain in the academic and scientific research world.
Even though he felt sorry for his old classmate, CEO Wu had been in the industry for so many years, so he knew how to judge the situation. Therefore, when Liu Dexing got into trouble, he did not hesitate to make an announcement. He explained what needed to be explained and apologized for what needed to be apologized for.
CEO Wu had made a special trip to Gu Shao in hopes that he would not be implicated.
"The other group has also been disqualified because of cheating, and the contestants have been banned for five years," Boss Wu added.
As for which group it was, no one announced it.
Now, Wu Pei only hoped that there wouldn't be any drama in this year's Youth Creation Competition and that the score would be changed five more times.
Hearing this, Gu Shao nodded and said indifferently, "No problem."
Upon hearing Gu Shao's words, CEO Wu finally felt relieved.
CEO Wu nodded at Gu Shao and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Professor Gu. Also, I would like to thank NTN for their invitation."
The invitation that CEO Wu received was from NTN's technology announcement not long ago.
If Gu Shao did not want to directly prove his daughter's research project, he probably would not have been qualified to receive NTN's invitation.
However, the long-distance communication concept machine with the sense of smell and taste was indeed amazing.
"I wonder what NTN plans to do with this'T&S 'technology?" CEO Wu asked again.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with Gu Shao's slightly meaningful gaze.
Gu Shao's cold gaze made CEO Wu tense up. He also realized that his question seemed to be ambiguous.
CEO Wu's expression stiffened for a moment before he quickly explained, "What I mean is, Professor Gu, have you considered using this concept product as a demonstration model for Gu Xi's group?"
"Gu Xi and her team's topic is very creative, and the theoretical information is also relatively complete. If we include this object as a part of the topic, I think the effect will be greatly enhanced in the second round of public demonstration. Who knows, it might even have a sensational effect, and we will definitely achieve a very good result!"
CEO Wu was giving Gu Shao a lot of face.
First of all, they would turn a blind eye and treat this product as a part of the research project. Gu Xi's group would definitely win first place. Second of all, it might cause a sensation and let a university or even the industry take notice of Gu Xi in advance. This was actually the ultimate goal that Liu Dexing wanted to help his grandson achieve.
This was a good suggestion.
However, Gu Shao's eyes darkened when he heard this. He almost immediately refused, "No need."
"I made this'T&S 'to prove to the outside world that my daughter's idea is reasonable and not impossible. That's all."
When Gu Shao met CEO Wu's astonished gaze, he patiently explained, "I'll give my daughter the best, but definitely the best for her age."
Sometimes, the best was not necessarily the most suitable. This was also the reason why Gu Shao did not participate in Gu Xi's previous model production.
Although the model made by Gu Xi's group was very simple and Gu Shao could see many shortcomings just by looking at it, it was indeed something that Gu Xi's group could make. It was not a concept machine that required a week and a half of NTN's research and development department to barely complete.
Giving Gu Xi too much glory at such an early age would only increase the burden of unnecessary controversy.
Children at this age should be protected and grow up under protection.
— — That makes sense.
Xu Fei could not help but nod when he heard Gu Shao's words.
"I just don't know which article he saw this on …"
Xue Fei muttered to himself in his mind.
Guilty — — When CEO Zhou asked me to copy something on the computer, I 'accidentally' clicked on a folder called [Learning Reference] on the desktop.
Then, I saw a bunch of magical online forums and public accounts sharing software: "How to communicate well with a rebellious child?" "How to make your child your friend", "Parents should know how to respect their children", "What role do you play in a child's growth" …
These kinds of "expert" software were enough just by looking at the titles. Xu Fei did not expect the CEOs to download them and even categorize them.
However, Xu Fei seemed to understand why the CEOs only exhibited "T&S" to the industry and did not choose to publicize it to the market.
It was probably because they did not want "T&S" to affect Gu Xi's research project.
— —
On the other side, Gu Shao glanced at Wu Pei and said, "Also, do you think my daughter's research project is not good enough?"
In addition to the rhetorical question, there was a hint of pride in Gu Shao's words.
Gu Xi's research project was very good, so she did not need any "external help" to get first place.
Gu Shao's confidence was not without reason. No one knew that after the contestants' research projects were announced after the first round of the "Young Creation Competition", Gu Shao secretly read the content of all the contestants' research projects. He even compared the scores of his daughter's research project.
…
On the other side.
Gu Xi still did not know that the person in charge of the "Young Creation Competition" had already approached Gu Shao. She also did not know what had happened to Gu Shao.
Gu Xi had been so busy looking for the certificate that she didn't even have time to surf the internet.
According to their previous agreement, Gu Xi, Sheng Xiuyan, and Dong Mingming brought their evidence to the office building of the competition team.
"Hello, we are from team 07. We have a problem with our research project and need to prepare evidence …" Gu Xi briefly explained the purpose of her visit to the front desk.
Originally, Gu Xi thought that the other party would continue to ask them a few more questions. However, after the front desk confirmed that they were from team 07, she did not ask any more questions or ask for an appointment. Instead, she directly asked them to go to the competition team's office. She was very polite throughout the entire process.
What surprised Gu Xi even more was that not only was the receptionist polite, but the people in the office were also very polite when they saw them. They even poured tea for Gu Xi.
Gu Xi glanced at the people in front of her. They were the same people as last week, but their attitude was completely different from last week.
Sitting on the sofa opposite the other party, Gu Xi suppressed the suspicion in her heart and handed a document that was half the thickness of a Chinese textbook to the other party.
"This is the proof material that we have prepared over the past week. In it, we have made additional descriptions of each step and added relevant support. Please take a look."
The deputy team leader took the document handed over by Gu Xi and flipped through it briefly.
After a few quick glances, the deputy team leader was quite shocked. The agreement he made with the three students last week was more of a prevarication. He did not even think that the three students would be able to find any evidence. He reckoned that they would give up when they encountered difficulties after thinking about it for a while.
However, he did not expect that Gu Xi and the others would actually come up with a set of evidence in just one week.
Although the deputy team leader was not a professional in this area, he could see that this document was very detailed. There were a lot of explanations and notes for almost every step, and there were even examples.
Just by looking at it, he could feel that this document was very convincing.
At this moment, the deputy team leader was not only surprised, but also touched.
This document was not perfect, but it required a lot of time and energy to make it. It went without saying that it was very useful.
Looking at the deputy team leader's serious expression, Gu Xi felt a little uneasy. She waited until the other party closed the document again before asking, "Is this okay?"
The deputy team leader smiled and looked at Gu Xi and the others. He did not hide the shock on his face and said, "Of course!"
Actually, even if Gu Xi and the others did not come today, the competition team was prepared to inform them to come. However, it was not to see their evidence, but to inform them of the latest results of the competition.
After all, whether or not they had this document, their father had already used the simplest and most crude method to prove the rationality of this topic.
Upon hearing the deputy team leader's words, Gu Xi was elated. However, she still asked again to confirm, "So, our topic is reasonable, and the previous evaluation is valid, right?"
"Yes." The deputy team leader nodded and said, "You don't have to worry. Your topic has already been passed, and the latest results have already been posted online today. Before you arrived, you were still in first place."
Previously, the new evaluation results had already been posted online. However, less than a minute after it was posted, it was taken down again because of an accident with Liu Dexing's grandson's topic.
The deputy team leader's words were originally meant to reassure Gu Xi and the others. However, he did not expect that these words would make Gu Xi even more suspicious.
She had just handed in the document, and the other party had already posted the latest results online?
This did not seem to be a matter of speed. Could it be that this was unpredictable?
"Did I miss something?" Gu Xi looked suspiciously at Dong Mingming and the Sheng Xiuyan people beside her.
However, this person also had a suspicious look on his face.
— —
Halfway through, the deputy team leader received a call and walked out. Teacher Yu was left to send Gu Xi and the others off.
"Congratulations," Teacher Yu said to the three of them with a smile as she walked out of the office.
She had paid special attention to the entire incident. She had to admit that Gu Xi's father's move was really surprising and refreshing.
The smile on Teacher Yu's face widened a little. However, she realized that Gu Xi and the others seemed to be dumbfounded.
Teacher Yu raised her eyebrows. "Don't tell me the three of you still don't know what happened?"
"We don't know." Dong Mingming shook his head. "What happened?"
This week, other than going to class, the three of them spent most of their time in the library. If the school library did not have enough information, they would go to University A's library. In short, they did not pay attention to what was going on outside.
"It seems that your parents haven't told you yet." Teacher Yu smiled at Gu Xi and said. She paused for a moment before explaining to the three of them, "The reason why the competition team made a new evaluation so quickly is because NTN's research has produced a machine that can transmit taste and smell remotely. This is enough to prove that your topic is reasonable and can be operated."
Upon hearing Teacher Yu's words, Gu Xi instantly widened her eyes. "You mean NTN?!"
"Yes." Teacher Yu nodded and added, "Also, according to my other senior who attended the launch, the introduction of the'T&S 'concept product directly indicated that the source of the design inspiration was your topic."
"So it's Gu Shao, uh, my father …?"
The people beside her did not notice that Gu Xi had directly called Gu Shao's name and only thought that she was too excited.
At this moment, apart from being in disbelief, Gu Xi was indeed a little happy.
Therefore, after the three of them left the competition building and said goodbye to the people from Sheng Xiuyan and Dong Mingming, Gu Xi went directly to NTN.
— —
Soon, the driver sent Gu Xi to NTN.
After walking through the main entrance, before Gu Xi could find someone to explain the purpose of her visit, the entrance gate outside the door automatically read her facial information and actually opened by itself.
Gu Xi walked in hesitantly.
This was the third time she had come to NTN.
The first time was when she first came to look for Gu Shao. The second time was when Gu Shao picked her up for a paternity test.
This time, the receptionist at the front desk was the receptionist Gu Xi had seen the last time.
Before Gu Xi walked to the front desk, the receptionist had already seen Gu Xi.
"Xiaoxi? Are you here to look for your father? "the receptionist asked with a smile.
Obviously, the receptionist already knew Gu Xi's current identity.
Facing the receptionist, Gu Xi felt a little embarrassed.
"Um, Sister, I'm sorry …" Gu Xi apologized because she had lied to the receptionist previously.
The receptionist smiled, indicating that she did not mind.
Who would have thought that such a dramatic thing would happen? A young girl who suddenly appeared turned out to be the CEO's biological daughter.
After knowing Gu Xi's true identity, many people secretly wondered who Gu Xi's mother was.
Fortunately, the people in NTN were all busy and did not have much energy to gossip. Soon, no one was gossiping about this behind their backs.
All they needed to know was that Gu Xi was the CEO's precious daughter.
"The CEO is probably in his office. Do you want to go up directly? Do you need me to call Assistant Xu to come down and pick you up? "the receptionist asked.
Gu Xi thought for a moment. "I'll go up directly."
The receptionist nodded. "Then you can take the private elevator directly to the 17th floor. Walk over here, pass through the public area, and take the innermost elevator."
The receptionist leaned forward and pointed the way for Gu Xi.
Gu Xi thanked the receptionist. Actually, she had taken Gu Shao's private elevator last time, so she knew about it.
Walking through the lobby, Gu Xi met many NTN employees along the way. Most of them were slightly surprised to see her, but they smiled and nodded at her. One of them even asked in a friendly tone, "School is over."
Thus, Gu Xi realized that not only the receptionist, but everyone in NTN seemed to know about her.
When Gu Xi took the elevator to the 17th floor, Xu Fei was already waiting for her in the elevator.
"Uncle Xu, is my father not here?"
"Your father is still in the meeting." Xu Fei pointed to a meeting room next to him and said, "Let's go to the CEO's office."
Gu Xi nodded and followed Xu Fei to Gu Shao's office.
Xu Fei settled Gu Xi down and went to work.
Gu Xi sat in the office and could vaguely hear Gu Shao's voice.
This voice was obviously a few degrees louder than Gu Shao's usual voice, and there seemed to be a hint of anger in it. It felt like he was lecturing someone.
This was the first time Gu Xi had heard such a tone.
The meeting room was next to the CEO's office. Gu Xi moved out of curiosity.
The door of the meeting room was ajar. Gu Xi walked over, leaned against the crack, and peeked inside.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Xi shrank back.
— — She seemed to have found out?
Gu Xi trotted back to Gu Shao's office like a thief.
— —
On the other hand, in the meeting room, Gu Shao had already retracted his gaze from the crack in the door.
"This kind of mistake should not have happened in a professional R&D department. The confirmed release date will not be changed, so you still have a month. In this month, not only do you have to correct the mistake, but you also have to complete the original operation test. Hurry up," Gu Shao said.
Although he was still expressionless, his tone was completely different from before.
Therefore, when Gu Shao said this, not only were the people present, but even the person in charge of the YS11 R&D department, who was being criticized, was shocked. 'That's it? We made such a big mistake, and the CEO is not going to continue criticizing us?
What had happened to make the president so happy all of a sudden?
