Hammer of Technology

Finally, on the third day of junior high school, Director Lu gave him a reason to rush back to school two days earlier with a phone call.

"Ning Wei, I want to ask your opinion on something. If you are not too busy at home, you might as well go back to school."

"Okay! Then I'll book the ticket now."

"Huh? You don't even ask what's the matter?"

"Director Lu is looking for me, there must be something important, so hang up first, and I'll go book tickets right away. By the way, the laboratory is not on holiday yet?"

"There's someone on duty, and your Senior Brother Yu didn't go home for the New Year this year. Heh, he got two top journals and second works without doing anything. He still has the face to ask for a vacation? I told him that if the project was not completed, he didn't." Fake! Don’t worry, there is enough instant noodles in the lab, he won’t starve to death!”

See what this says...

hang up the phone

Ning Wei silently mourned for Yu Xingwei for 2 minutes in his heart, and then decisively booked a ticket back to school that day.

When I came home, I was picked up in a beautiful manner, but when I left, I was actually very low-key.

Because it was a temporary decision to return to school two days earlier, Lao Ning and his mother made a call to send Ning Wei to the high-speed rail station.

Seeing Ning Wei walk into the station carrying a bag full of food and drink, Lao Ning was fine, Ning's mother's eyes were inexplicably wet, and she couldn't help wiping her tears and complained: "I have known since I was a child that I will tell my son If you are promising, if you want to be promising, you are really promising, and you can't even live a full year when you go home, what do you men want in your life?"

Lao Ning rolled his eyes and remained silent.

But even as a straight man of steel, he knows very well that it is extremely unwise to argue with a mother who is sending her son on a long journey.Keeping silent at this time is the best protection for yourself, otherwise it is really possible to be hungry during the Chinese New Year!

Well, what he is afraid of is not his wife, but a mother.

……

Ning Wei rushed to the laboratory, and sure enough, at the first sight, he saw Senior Brother Yu busy in front of the computer in the laboratory.

I walked in quietly and took a look, oh, I was playing minesweeper.

The computer Yu Xingwei uses is a win10 system. To play this game, he has to download it from the Microsoft store. Although it is free, it is enough to show how boring the brother has been these two days.

It's understandable when you think about it. After all, although the project is rushed, there is still a minimum of humanity in the laboratory. From [-]:[-] onwards, the two project teams began to take vacations at the same time, and they didn't officially start work until the fourth day of junior high school.

It is equivalent to leaving Yu Xingwei alone on duty in two laboratories. If he doesn't play games, he might really go crazy.

But there is one thing to say, although people are leisurely, but here in the turbulence algorithm laboratory, the test has been running, and the data is uploaded every day, which is all thanks to Yu Xingwei's efforts.

"Senior Brother Yu, Happy New Year!" Ning Wei patted Yu Xingwei on the shoulder and greeted him.

"Ah!" Yu Xingwei screamed, jumped up, and turned his head to see Ning Wei who was carrying a bag before he calmed down, "Mr. Ning, I don't want you to be so scary."

"What about it in broad daylight?" Ning Wei smiled.

"Mr. Ning, you don't know. I've been in this lab by myself for almost three days. I guard the lab during the day and have nowhere to go at night. Except for thirty nights and noon on the first day, the big boss Send kindness to ask me to go out for two meals, I stay in the laboratory by myself every day, can you not be afraid?"

Yu Xingwei started to feel bitter, and then said quietly: "It's not like Mr. Xiao Ning, he will go back after the holiday, and have a good time during the Chinese New Year, right?"

Hearing this, Ning Wei also sighed, and then started the crazy rant mode: "Hey, what are you playing? Don't mention it, I'm busier when I go home than in the laboratory. You know that, the next day Professor Lu went to Yancheng to discuss a mathematical problem with me. The two of us discussed for five days, and then he left lightly, and handed over the discussed things to me to write a thesis. Thinking that I will be busy with projects after the Chinese New Year, then I can only write at home."

"In this way, I wrote a paper and submitted it to the Journal of the American Mathematical Society. I just sent an email yesterday saying that the editor-in-chief had temporarily passed it, and I am still in the stage of looking for reviewers. Oh, by the way, this journal is still lost. I was asked to be a reviewer for an article. That’s all, I have to pay attention to the data in the laboratory every day, and today I was called back to school by your boss. What kind of years have I passed? Lonely."

After the words fell, Ning Wei found that Yu Xingwei hadn't responded for a long time, but just stared at him and looked at his expression, and felt even more aggrieved...

Can't help wondering: "What's wrong with you? Brother Yu?"

"Damn it! Mr. Ning, I won't take you like this! Go home for the New Year, eat delicious food every day, go to a western restaurant to eat steak, and get an SCI from a top mathematics journal? I spend every day in the laboratory. Working overtime, but there is no bullshit! Who is so lonely?"

107 Someone's Luck Is Always Against the Heavens

Ning Wei blinked and looked at Yu Xingwei. When his eyes met, he seemed to see his humble appearance in front of Senior Brother Lu, and he felt inexplicably relieved.

Really, before he said those words, he just wanted to complain. Who would have thought that the effect would come...

Can't help but patted Yu Xingwei's shoulder distressedly, and said sincerely: "Brother Yu, actually think about it from another angle, if you don't go home during the Chinese New Year, you will not only save travel expenses, but also earn a lot of overtime subsidies. Although you were not able to reunite with your family, But at least I made money."

"Oh, then Mr. Ning, how about this, I'll give you all the ticket money I saved for overtime pay, and you give me the top issue?" Yu Xingwei looked at Ningwei resentfully and said.

"Brother Yu, with your ability, there will definitely be a top journal after the first publication. It is not difficult to publish a top journal. Those editors and reviewers are very easy to talk to. For example, I wrote the letter on turbulent flow algorithm. Although the reviewer People gave some comments, but "Science" published it directly. The reason why you haven't made a work yet is because you haven't found a proposition that suits you, and you can play to your level!" Ning Wei said sincerely.

To put it bluntly, Ning Wei's words almost moved Yu Xingwei to tears.

Really, it's only a few million points away, and Yu Xingwei will believe it.

Is it not difficult to publish the top issue? !

Wanted to refute, but found that he didn't know what to say.

There are three top issues in half a year, if the winter vacation article is still accepted, it will be four...

It's really not difficult.

But at this time Yu Xingwei just wanted to cry.

Really, it's really cool to mix with this kind of genius and make achievements, but the feeling that IQ is crushed all the time, and I always think I'm an idiot is enough to make people want to be autistic.

"Okay, I know that the laboratory only has instant noodles. I brought you a lot of delicious food. The sausages and cured pork ribs are all made by my mother. I will tidy up and let's have a good dinner at night. I will go to Director Lu first. Come on, ask me what's the matter."

"The boss is in the office?"

"I told him about when I would arrive, and he said he would wait for me in the office."

"Let's go together, no one has talked with me for a long time."

"Row!"

The two walked out of the laboratory and went up to the seventh floor.

Sure enough, Director Lu was already waiting in the office. When he saw Yu Xingwei walking into the office with Ning Wei, he didn't seem too surprised. He just pouted and said, "Ning Wei is here, sit down, Xiao Yu , make two cups of tea for Ning Wei and himself."

"okay!"

……

Sitting on the sofa, Ning Wei glanced at the busy Yu Xingwei with embarrassment, then turned to the opposite side, and asked, "Director Lu, what's the reason for rushing me back this time?"

"It's not that I am in a hurry to call you back, but you are in a hurry to come back, right? I didn't say anything clearly, so you are in a hurry to book a ticket." Lu Changbin looked at Ningwei angrily.

"hey-hey……"

Ning Wei smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Well, relatives and friends of my parents and relatives are guests during the Chinese New Year, and they all try to introduce me to a girlfriend, so I feel embarrassed staying at home."

"boom……"

There was a sound next to him, Yu Xingwei turned his head and apologized with a blushing face: "Oh, I'm sorry, it was too cold outside and my hands slipped."

"It's a good thing this isn't a chemistry laboratory! Otherwise, if you slipped your hand, we'd all be gone!" Lu Changbin said angrily.

"It's okay, it's okay, Brother Yu take your time, I'm not thirsty." Ning Wei said quickly.

"Leave him alone. So you don't have a girlfriend yet? There are so many girls in Jiangda University, but you haven't met one you like? The introductions by relatives and friends may not be reliable. How about I introduce one for you another day? Let's The daughter of a teacher in our school, from the School of Economics and Management, is two years younger than you, she looks pretty, has a sweet mouth, and is very polite, you have to think about it, I will invite their family out for dinner tonight."

"Ahem, Director Lu, why don't we get down to business first." Ning Wei felt cold sweat start to ooze from his forehead. Could it be that as people get older, they just like to have some mandarin ducks?

"That girl is really nice..."

"Cough cough..."

"Okay, let's get down to business, you know about the SODA conference, right?" Lu Changbin asked.

Ning Wei shook his head.

"I know this. SODA is ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, which is one of the three top academic conferences in the field of computer algorithms." Yu Xingwei brought over the brewed tea, and then rushed to answer.

"Heh, what's the use of you knowing? They didn't invite you!" Lu Changbin sneered.

"Huh? Xiao Ning also submitted a paper to this conference when he returned home? Was it accepted?"

Yu Xingwei was startled, and then quickly reacted, saying: "No, Mr. Xiao Ning doesn't know about this conference, so how could he submit a paper?"

Lu Changbin glared at Yu Xingwei, who immediately shrank his neck and remained silent.

"The thing is like this. I have a friend named Shen Zheqing, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, who is also a member of the ACM Association. He is also one of the conveners of this 2022 SODA conference. He saw your article on "Science" A paper on turbulence algorithms."

"Because I saw that the unit stayed with us, so I called me first, hoping to invite you to participate in this year's meeting and speak as a special guest at the meeting. He asked me to ask what you mean first. , if you are interested, he will send an email. After you pass the email registration and verification, you can get the electronic invitation letter for this meeting. The meeting is only three weeks away, but if you decide to go, you must Hurry up and start preparing for the visa.”

Hearing Lu Changbin's words, Yu Xingwei glanced at Ning Wei with unconcealable admiration in his eyes.

Does this still need to be considered?

How many people want to participate in this kind of top-level meeting with their necks sharpened, but when they come back, it will be covered with a layer of gold, let alone listen to the boss's wishes, why would they be able to give a separate report at the meeting?

Then it is not only a layer of gold, but also inlaid with diamonds. When you come back, it will be in the news, and you will have to write a special book on the school's official website.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yu Xingwei was really sour this time.

But Ning Wei really hesitated for a while, and did not agree, but asked: "Director Lu, where is this meeting held? How many days will it take?"

"At the Westin Alexandria, the meeting schedule is arranged for four days. But it doesn't matter if you go to play for an extra day. The school will reimburse you for the round-trip transportation expenses, and there is another three thousand dollars for you during the meeting. You can take a day to go shopping in the local safe business district, but there is one thing, you are absolutely not allowed to leave the hotel at night when you are in the United States, and I will say hello to Professor Shen about this."

It didn't take long, and Ning Wei felt a little moved.

Thinking of Brother Lu also said that it is not good to work behind closed doors, go to some top conferences, listen to other people's reports, have some exchanges with top leaders in the same industry, and inspire yourself if you are not sure, it is still very touching.

More importantly, it feels good to go out and see the world.

only……

"Wait, Professor Lu, are you not going?"

"Originally, I also planned to go, but there is an important meeting time conflict in China, so I can't go. Otherwise, I won't ask for your opinion, and I will help you agree directly. You can also promote this kind of meeting by the way. The turbulence algorithm will lay the foundation for the formal test and launch in the future." Lu Changbin replied.

"Boss, I have an idea, I don't know if I should say it or not." Hearing this, Yu Xingwei said immediately.

The eyes of the two immediately focused on Yu Xingwei.

"To put it bluntly, Boss, you are hesitating because you are worried about Mr. Ning? After all, I don't feel at ease if I go out alone! If you can't go, I can help you to see Mr. Ning? Right? Although I can't help much, it's okay to take care of Mr. Ning's daily life and do some security work within his ability? Besides, I happen to be the second author of that paper?"

Lu Changbin was stunned, but before he had time to express his opinion, Ning Wei slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, Director Lu, if Brother Yu can go with me, it would be nice to have someone to take care of you. Can you talk to that Shen The professor said, send two invitation letters directly?"

Lu Changbin glared at Yu Xingwei. After thinking about it, he felt that it was indeed feasible. The most important thing was that Ning Wei was really not at ease to go to this kind of academic conference thousands of miles away by himself, so he simply agreed: "Okay." , then let’s put it this way. I’ll talk to the other side later, and just say that you want to bring a laboratory assistant with you, and it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

"Ahem... Really?" Hearing that Lu Changbin agreed so simply, Yu Xingwei was stunned.

Happiness came so suddenly that Yu Xingwei felt like he was floating in the clouds, as if he was in a dream.

"What? It's still too late for you to regret it!" Lu Changbin glared at Yu Xingwei angrily.

"No, no, no, I don't regret it, for Mr. Xiao Ning, let alone go to the United States, just go to Iraq!"

Lu Changbin ignored Yu Xingwei, and looked at Ning Wei again: "Then this matter is decided. By the way, do you really want me to invite that teacher and his daughter out for dinner tonight?"

"Director Lu, I suddenly realized that there is still a project to be done in the laboratory, so I will go first." Ning Wei stood up immediately.

He has been single for 23 years based on his strength, how could he be relapsed so easily?

"Okay, you go to work first, Yu Xingwei, you can leave later." Lu Changbin nodded, and then called his "protégé student" to stop.

……

Watching Ning Wei walk out of the office, close the door, and the sound of footsteps gradually fade away, Lu Changbin turned his attention to Yu Xingwei, and he didn't speak until he saw the disciple sitting there uncomfortably, "I said Yu Xingwei, You are really lucky! You got two articles from the top journal, and you were able to attend an academic conference. If you keep messing around like this, I will be embarrassed to miss your graduation in the future."

"Boss, in fact, I have one thing to say. I'm not as relaxed as you said. Yes, I admit that I have mixed up with these results. I was able to attend the meeting because of Mr. Xiao Ning's credit, but you know the key to it. How much pressure is there? In the past few months, I seem to be relaxed and happy, but how many times have I doubted my IQ secretly! You don’t even know the kind of pain from the bottom of my heart!”

Yu Xingwei poured out bitter water.

"Oh! It's been so hard? Then, I'll ask Huang Wenjiang to trade with you later?"

Yu Xingwei immediately puffed up his chest: "Don't, this is me. My mental quality is good enough. I'm afraid I'll be depressed if I change to other senior brothers. You can leave this kind of thing to me."

Lu Changbin straightened his face and said, "Be serious! Let me tell you, you asked to attend the meeting this time, but don't think about taking all the good things. If you go, take responsibility for me. Must I will be with Ning Wei 24 hours a day, and I will make an agreement with the other side in advance, and the room will be arranged together. Let’s put it this way, if Ning Wei breaks a piece of skin during the meeting, you, a doctor, really don’t want to graduate.”

Yu Xingwei also became serious, and replied: "Don't worry, boss. Make sure to complete the task!"

"Okay, you can go to work too." Lu Changbin leaned on the stool and waved his hand, saying.

"That, boss..."

"What's the matter with you?"

"Actually, I'm still single, and it's quite stressful to talk about the age of my girlfriend after graduating from a PhD..."

"Heh... If you're single, go find it yourself! Oh, you also want to meet that teacher's daughter? I'm sorry, I introduced Ning Wei to a girlfriend because I wanted to keep him in Jiang University and in the laboratory. Come on. , can you give me a reason to introduce someone to you? Am I afraid that you will run away too?"

Seeing the shameless appearance of his own students, Lu Changbin couldn't help complaining.

"Actually, I'm not too bad."

"Okay, you have completed the mission this time. When I come back, I will treat you to dinner and call the teacher. But I won't help you with anything. Whether you can chase him or not depends on your own ability."
