It took a few hours to get back to B City from Zhang Village, but the journey was smooth.
Lin Xi sat quietly in the car, occasionally listening to the driver introduce her to the local customs, food, and fun places in B City.
Although she didn't sleep last night, Lin Xi was not sleepy at all, as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
When the car reached a place not far from the NTN Technology Center, the driver stopped and explained, "Foreign cars can't enter, so we can only stop here."
Lin Xi nodded, thanked him, and got out of the car.
Standing in front of the NTN Technology Center, Lin Xi looked up at the high-end and magnificent building in front of her and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. The legendary NTN Technology Center, indeed … even the office building looks imposing.
This was also the place she had always yearned for. Lin Xi remembered that there was an essay titled "Dream" at a school cultural event. She wrote about her dream of becoming the youngest professor in China and entering this place.
That essay was later selected as an excellent example. Unfortunately, when Lin Xi ran to tell her family excitedly, Song Kexin only glanced at her indifferently and said, "Not bad." The others were completely indifferent. At that time, everyone was busy watching Lin Anxin's class perform a group dance.
Lin Xi fell into her memories.
A thin figure wearing a sweater and carrying a huge suitcase appeared in front of the NTN building. It was a little out of place.
Probably because Lin Xi stood outside the building for too long, she was seen by the patrolling security guards not far away. They seemed to think that she was a beggar.
The security guard walked over and called Lin Xi, "Kid, what are you doing here?" Didn't she know that this was not a place for beggars?
Seeing the security guard in front of her, Lin Xi nodded at him, "Hello, uncle. I'm here to look for someone. May I ask if I can enter the NTN Technology Center from the main entrance?"
Lin Xi's attitude was polite, and the meaning of her words was very clear. She didn't seem like a beggar.
The security guard looked at Lin Xi suspiciously, "You're here to look for someone?"
"Yes, the person I'm looking for works here."
Lin Xi didn't seem to be lying, but looking at her expression …
The security guard was uncertain and didn't know how to deal with it. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Lin Xi, "I don't know either. Come with me and ask him yourself."
The security guard brought Lin Xi to the front desk of NTN. He briefly explained to the staff at the front desk and then left.
The receptionist was a young lady.
The other party looked at Lin Xi with suspicion in his eyes. The girl in front of him didn't look very old and was obviously still a student. She definitely wasn't here to do business, but she didn't look like she was here to look for someone either.
However, the receptionist still asked softly, "Who are you looking for? I can check it for you. "
"I'm looking for Gu Shao and President Gu," Lin Xi said.
Hearing this, the receptionist was stunned. She almost thought that she had misheard.
"You're looking for President Gu?"
"Yes." Lin Xi nodded.
The receptionist frowned. Obviously, she didn't believe Lin Xi's words.
Their big boss and the girl in front of them didn't seem to have anything to do with each other.
"Do you know about President Gu from books or news reports?" the receptionist asked again.
Lin Xi thought about it. She had learned that Gu Shao was her biological father from the novel in her dream. It should be considered a book, so she nodded.
Seeing this, the receptionist's mouth twitched. This child saw President Gu in the news and wanted to come here to look for him. Was this … a joke?
Although the receptionist felt that Lin Xi was being unreasonable, she still asked professionally, "Then, do you have an appointment?"
Lin Xi shook her head. "No."
She asked anxiously, "Then can I make an appointment now?"
The receptionist smiled professionally. "Sorry, President Gu's appointment is very late."
"It's okay. I can wait." Lin Xi was persistent.
The receptionist was suddenly in a difficult position. She had only wanted to send this child away, but she didn't expect her to be so insistent. It didn't make sense for a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old child to make an appointment with their president.
"I'm sorry. I can't make an appointment for you without a valid reason." The receptionist smiled professionally and said firmly.
Lin Xi couldn't help but feel disappointed when she heard this.
She didn't expect it to be so difficult to meet the big boss.
However, Lin Xi didn't want to give up.
Lin Xi bit her lip and lowered her head. She still stood in front of the receptionist, motionless.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Lin Xi's mind. He raised his head and sincerely looked at the young lady at the front desk. He said again, "I really want to meet President Gu. Although I haven't seen him before, he is my benefactor."
If it weren't for Gu Shao, she wouldn't have existed in this world. Therefore, it wasn't wrong to say that he was her benefactor.
Lin Xi suppressed the guilt in her heart and said, "I'm a needy student sponsored by President Gu."
The receptionist's expression changed when she heard this. She looked at Lin Xi with surprise in her eyes.
Then, Lin Xi continued, "I came here from Zhang Village specifically to thank my benefactor."
With that said, Lin Xi took out her report card for this month's exam from her schoolbag and handed it to the young lady at the front desk.
At this moment, the report card was wrinkled and crumpled. Lin Xi looked just as pitiful as the report card.
Lin Xi didn't do it on purpose. Previously, when she jumped into the man-made lake to rescue Lin Anxin, her report card was in her school uniform pocket. After being soaked in the lake water, it became like this.
There was no name of the school on the report card, but there was a school emblem in the upper right corner. Fortunately, the receptionist didn't pay attention to primary and secondary school resources at her age, so she didn't know that it was the emblem of some aristocratic school.
The receptionist's gaze fell on the report card. The number "1" on the grade ranking column was particularly eye-catching. The scores for each subject were also very nice.
"So, you want to show your report card to President Gu, right?" the receptionist asked.
Lin Xi nodded.
Lin Xi's current appearance was dirty and her hair was messy. She really did look like a poor student.
Looking at Lin Xi's pitiful appearance, but her eyes were full of sincerity, the receptionist was somewhat moved.
Although she didn't know if President Gu had ever sponsored a poor student, Lin Xi didn't look like she was lying. What she said was also very true.
She's an outstanding girl who knows how to repay kindness!
The receptionist thought to herself. She was moved by Lin Xi's actions.
"You can sit here and wait for a moment. I'll arrange an appointment for you," the receptionist said to Lin Xi with a friendly smile. This smile was completely different from the professional smile she had shown before.
The receptionist called the president's office and explained the situation briefly. She even added some personal feelings.
…
She quickly received a reply.
The receptionist led Lin Xi through a security check and walked to the elevator. "I've already made an appointment. You can go up from here. The elevator will go straight to the 27th floor. Someone will receive you after you go up."
"Okay, thank you, sister." Lin Xi cast an incomparably sincere and grateful smile at the receptionist.
Hearing Lin Xi call her "sister", the receptionist was elated. She was only 26 years old. Children actually called her "auntie" when she went out now! This was too much!
Seeing Lin Xi enter the elevator, the receptionist was still thinking about whether or not to inform the reporters. After all, this was touching and worthy of publicity.
—
27th floor. Gu Shao was still in a meeting. Lin Xi was arranged to wait in a small conference room by the staff member who received her.
Lin Xi sat in the conference room and waited quietly.
At this moment, Gu Shao's assistant, Xu Fei, walked in and looked curiously at Lin Xi.
"Are you the poor student sponsored by President Gu?" Xu Fei asked, deliberately avoiding the word "poor student".
Lin Xi did not answer. She vaguely replied, "Actually, I'm not …"
Xu Fei looked at the girl sitting upright in front of him with her back straight. He was amazed. He did not expect that the boss, who usually looked cold-blooded and heartless, would sponsor a poor student.
Xu Fei seemed to have noticed Lin Xi's restraint and nervousness. He coughed softly and asked her, "Do you want to drink water?"
"Okay," Lin Xi replied. Then, she said, "Thank you."
Xu Fei asked someone to bring a glass of water over. Lin Xi took the glass with both hands and took a few sips.
The small conference room fell into an awkward silence again.
Lin Xi stared at a certain part of the conference room in a daze.
Xu Fei followed Lin Xi's gaze and saw a t-nm chip design diagram displayed on the wall.
Xu Fei raised his eyebrows. In order to find something to say, he casually asked Lin Xi, "Can you understand this?"
Xu Fei was just asking casually. He did not expect Lin Xi to really understand it.
Lin Xi nodded seriously.
"This is the design of the t-nm chip, right?"
"You know about it?" Xu Fei was surprised that Lin Xi could actually say the name of this chip. There was no name or introduction on the display board.
Lin Xi said, "Yes, the ring double conductor formed by the 'n + 2' high-speed NS element increases the operating speed of the t-type chip by 60 times."
"In addition," Lin Xi paused and said, "the t-nm chip has also been reduced a lot in size. An ordinary t-type chip is usually 0.8 to 1.2 square centimeters, while the t-nm chip can be as small as 0.05 square centimeters."
Speaking of this, Lin Xi's eyes seemed to be shining.
— — Accurate!
Xu Fei's jaw almost dropped.
"How do you know all this?" Xu Fei asked. This kind of cutting-edge technology, even college students might not know about it.
"I saw it before," Lin Xi explained frankly, "It was published in the digital journal 'Electronic Technology' in June last year."
Xu Fei: "!" She was indeed a straight-A student …
Xu Fei: "Ahem, which grade are you in?"
Lin Xi: "Second grade."
Xu Fei: "…" What was he doing in the second grade? It seemed like he was still carrying the Three Strands, Four Mysteries, and Five Mysteries.
"Are you very interested in the field of electronic technology?" Xu Fei thought of something and asked. His eyes were shining as if he had found a good seedling.
Lin Xi opened her mouth and was about to answer when she saw Xu Fei suddenly stand up and look past her in the direction of the conference room door.
"President Gu."
“！”
President Gu? Gu Shao?!
Lin Xi was stunned. She suddenly stood up and turned her head to look behind her.
