Chapter 239 Each Generation Has Its Own Responsibilities
While Frank was feeling like every second was a passing second, Qiao Yu was lamenting the change in his identity and status, which had brought about changes in his voice.

To be honest, he was somewhat addicted to this feeling of keeping his word.

What is youthful spirit?

Specifically, no matter what I say, you must listen carefully and give feedback in a timely manner.

In the past, his voice was insignificant and people would just laugh when he spoke out. Some people even dared to oppose him or scold him publicly.

But now, he could make everyone feel terrified just by making a suggestion. Those outsiders had no right to interrupt.

I have to say, this feeling is quite intoxicating for a seventeen-year-old boy.

Well, let alone a 17-year-old boy like Qiao Yu, even a middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s would definitely like this kind of unbridled feeling - when I speak, the whole world must listen carefully...

After experiencing this intoxicating feeling for a moment, Qiao Yu rushed straight into the bedroom and went to sleep.

Today, I was very exhausted while negotiating terms with several executives from technology companies. Even the strongest brain cannot withstand such exhaustion.

The world is big, but sleeping is the most important thing at this time. So Qiao Yu fell asleep, and in less than 30 seconds, a light snoring sound came from the bedroom.

The boy's sleep quality is still as good as ever, which is admirable. As for the disturbances in the outside world, what does it have to do with him?

……

When Qiao Yu fell asleep, Zheng Xiwen, who had just fallen asleep for a short while, was called up again.

Zheng Xiwen knew that Qiao Yu wanted to make trouble, and he even wrote a special report for this purpose. However, he really didn't know that Qiao Yu could be so swift and decisive. If he said he wanted to make trouble, he wouldn't even wait until tomorrow to let him sleep well, but he started it that night!

The most annoying thing is that now it seems like all this was caused by him. If he hadn't mentioned those few things about Qiao Yu's biological father today, perhaps nothing would have happened today and everyone could have slept well.

Zheng Xiwen was called up, and after seeing what Qiao Yu did, he didn't know what to say. He even felt that he had committed a serious sin.

A happy math genius boy quarreled with his mother because he knew the situation of his biological father, and then suddenly began to contact foreign technology companies that coveted advanced technology theories...

The key point is that Qiao Yu is looking for Frank without naming him. Oh, it should not be said that he is causing trouble for Professor Feng Yu, but he is directly venting his anger on the school where Feng Yu works.

Of course, Zheng Xiwen felt that he could also understand the thoughts of a seventeen-year-old boy.

No matter how great his achievements in mathematics were, Qiao Yu was still a teenager in adolescence.

It's normal for Qiao Yu not to want others to know the reason for this matter involving blood relatives.

Especially when Qiao Yu also had to take care of Qiao Xi's face, concealing the details could even be said to be subconscious.

But there has to be a reason, right?

He had only slept for three hours, and the academic circles of half the world were already gossiping. As for the California university system in the center of the vortex...

How should I put it? According to the information that was synchronized, those people were probably going crazy.

Of course Zheng Xiwen thinks it is understandable.

No matter who is eating hot pot and singing, living a very happy life, bad news comes inexplicably, and there is no good solution yet.

The instigator simply ignored the matter and was too lazy to even give a reason. If he were in his place, he would go crazy.

Zheng Xiwen could understand both sides, but now the only thing he couldn't understand was himself. He wondered how Qiao Yu had tricked him into talking in the afternoon.

As a result, the originally peaceful days turned into a mess.

"Where is Qiao Yu?" After reading the intelligence briefing and understanding the general situation, Zheng Xiwen rubbed his brows, put on his headphones and asked.

"He should be asleep already."

"Sleep?"

"Yes, he must be sleeping soundly. Although I can't see him, I can hear his even breathing. He is sleeping very soundly and fell asleep in seconds. This young man is amazing. He doesn't worry at all."

Hearing this, Zheng Xiwen was furious and asked, "Well... then why did you wake me up?"

"Boss, we didn't want to wake you up. It was the higher-ups who told us to wake you up and get a report out quickly. Really, we can't handle the calls coming in one after another.

We need to know Dr. Qiao’s mental state and assess the current complex situation to see if it is necessary to adjust the security level... Academicians Yuan and Tian were also asking Qiao Yu what was going on.

Whether to report this information, whether to adjust the existing plan, whether to increase manpower, all these require your decision, Boss."

Zheng Xiwen had nothing to say.

"Oh, you didn't see that Dr. Joe was so cool today. That ignorant executive sent by Nvidia tried to threaten Dr. Joe, saying that they could unite or something. Guess what Dr. Joe said?"

"Say what?"

"He said that this felt right, and that this was the fate of the Chinese people, and that every generation would have to fight against the coalition forces of their own. So let the other side come, and if he gave in, he would immediately announce his withdrawal from the world mathematics community.

This is really powerful. We like Dr. Qiao more and more. It's just that the opponent was too quick to back off and changed players right away. Otherwise, it would be exciting to watch. I don't know when we can really fight the opponent with real weapons!"

Zheng Xiwen was annoyed when he heard this and immediately said, "That's enough. Dr. Qiao can say this, but can you? They are talking about academic competition, what about you? Are you talking about the same thing? It's already troublesome enough now, don't make it worse!"

"You're right. You go ahead and do your work. If you need anything, just give me a call. I'll be there whenever you call."

After hearing these words through the headphones, there was a moment of silence.

Zheng Xiwen has gotten used to it. As long as these young people are not around, they will leave immediately if they are scolded.

If this guy didn't have strong business skills, he would have kicked all of them out of the team long ago.

But Zheng Xiwen didn't have time to sigh. Although these young people talked a lot of nonsense, they reported all the work that needed to be reported. He still had to continue to rush to finish the report.

As for the reason why Qiao Yu did this, they definitely couldn't tell him. He had already made a mistake once, and this time he would ignore anyone who asked him. Even if it was Mr. Yuan or Academician Tian...

They could just ask Qiao Yu directly, and just don't make things difficult for him.

As for the security plan...

Since the higher-ups have asked this, then we must upgrade. In the security industry, if you deny the upgrade arrangement from your higher-ups, no one will remember your kindness even if nothing goes wrong.

If something messy happened, even if Qiao Yu lost a hair, it would be his responsibility.

As for Qiao Yu's mental state...

Well, Zheng Xiwen is very sure that Qiao Yu is not really cooperating with those big companies.
He didn't understand math and technology, but Zheng Xiwen felt that he knew Qiao Yu very well. This kid was very cunning and his superiors didn't need to worry.

The inquiries one by one soon became reports in a strict format. Zheng Xiwen had long been accustomed to being in charge of these matters, and his processing speed was also very fast. This was his advantage, and it was also the reason why he was directly arranged to be next to Qiao Yu as soon as Qiao Yu mentioned it.

The people in the middle of the communication link are very important.

Zheng Xiwen is not only experienced, but also an important information transmitter, which is very important to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

However, by the time Zheng Xiwen finished everything, it was almost four o'clock in the morning.

There is no other way. This thing not only requires a concise and clear format, but also rigorous wording. After all, we have to take into account the leaders who read the report.

Leaders are under time pressure, so the format is chosen to ensure that the number of words contains the maximum amount of information.

The wording of the report is rigorous enough to ensure that there will be no misjudgments when making decisions due to possible ambiguities in the report.

After stretching, he checked all the reports one last time before submitting them all through the encrypted system.

He lay down on the bed feeling extremely tired, and suddenly he realized that he was not sleepy at all! He was physically and mentally exhausted but couldn't fall asleep at all. He felt that no matter what sleeping position he took, it was not comfortable.

Some sleeping details that I almost never paid attention to under normal circumstances were magnified infinitely at this time. For example, no matter whether I put my hands inside or outside the blanket, they didn't feel right, so I could only toss and turn in bed, unable to sleep.

At this time, Zheng Xiwen was extremely envious of Qiao Yu.

He couldn't understand how this guy could be so careless. He just messed up everything after throwing a tantrum, and then fell asleep on the bed.

And it is said that it only took less than a minute. This ability is simply incredible and can withstand infinite pressure.

It may also be that you don’t pay attention to these things at all.

In this way, Zheng Xiwen stayed awake until he felt light coming into the room through the gap in the window, then he dozed off for a while. Immediately afterwards, he was called up again because Qiao Yu had already gotten up.

……

"Eh? Uncle Zheng, didn't you go to bed early yesterday? Why are there such dark circles under your eyes? Is it true that people can't escape the occasional insomnia problem when they get older?"

They met early in the morning, and seeing Zheng Xiwen's panda eyes, Qiao Yu asked curiously.

Zheng Xiwen was speechless again for a moment.

He understood Qiao Yu. He could not only make people laugh to the point where they were at a loss, but also make people angry to the point where they were at a loss.

Obviously Qiao Yu chose the latter today.

"Yeah, I went to bed early yesterday and was woken up early too. Guess why I was woken up in the early hours of the morning?"

Zheng Xiwen stared at Qiao Yu and asked.

"No way? Someone actually sneaked into our yard yesterday? I didn't even hear anything? Was I too lax and slept too deeply at night?"

Qiao Yu asked back in surprise.

Zheng Xiwen looked at Qiao Yu's innocent face and decided to change the subject.

"Do you need me to help you sort out the main schedule for today?"

"Don't be so serious, Uncle Zheng. I was just joking. And I think you need to get used to it. After all, I haven't even started to fire at full force yet." Qiao Yu said easily.

Zheng Xiwen was too lazy to talk.

But Qiao Yu felt that there was nothing to arrange for his schedule today.

He stayed in the office of the research center, chatting with the representatives of the big companies across the street and continuing to exert some pressure. When these representatives were able to sleep, he also had to study the selection of candidates for the project team.

After all, according to the scheduled time, the list of the project team will be announced tomorrow. Choosing a long-term partner is a very cautious matter.

Although he said during the meeting with the people from the Academy of Sciences that results should speak for themselves, that was actually to shut those people up.

He is the only one who grades the papers and enters the test scores into the system, so the scores of who can pass and who cannot are just for reference.

After all, as long as the scores are within the same range, the abilities are actually similar. So what matters is whether the person is suitable.

Qiao Yu understood a truth from a very young age: not all children can play together. Giving sincerity may not necessarily get sincerity in return, and it may even be a waste of time.

So it is important to choose the right people to work with. Just like Brother Chen, although he has this or that shortcoming, at least he has a sense of shame and knows how to repay kindness.

Qiao Yu is not afraid of someone playing tricks on him, but he has already won the Fields Medal. If he still wants to play tricks on the project participants under his leadership, wouldn’t he have won the award in vain?
In short, it is important to unify the thoughts internally. It is inevitable that Qiao Yu's team members have selfishness, and his selfishness is even greater, but their moral character must be qualified, at least higher than his.

In this way, Zheng Xiwen followed Qiao Yu to the office building. Just as he was about to go about his own business, he was stopped by Qiao Yu again.

"Uncle Zheng, don't leave. Come to my office and let's discuss the selection of the project team."

"Don't you need to be busy with something else?" Zheng Xiwen stopped and asked sideways.

Qiao Yu replied casually, "No hurry, let's leave them alone first. I took advantage of their time yesterday and stayed up late to negotiate with them. Today they should stay up late too."

It's only a little after eight in the morning. If you take into account the time difference, it's only a little after eight in the evening in the US. If you want to talk about something, you have to wait until the afternoon, otherwise they will easily lose track of the main points."

Zheng Xiwen nodded, agreeing with him, then turned around and followed Qiao Yu into his office.

He didn't like Qiao Yu messing with his own people, and sometimes even felt resentful about it; but when Qiao Yu messed with other people, he had no objection at all, and even welcomed it.

There is still enough gold content in the fact that every generation of Chinese people has a coalition to fight. Anyway, he has already said too much, so it doesn't matter if he says a few more words.

Seeing Zheng Xiwen follow him into the office, Qiao Yu immediately asked happily: "Let's start with your professor from yesterday? That Zheng Zefeng, what do you think of him?"

"What do you mean?"

"Of course it's the details, like his..."

As he was speaking, Qiao Yu's cell phone rang again. Qiao Yu smiled apologetically at Zheng Xiwen, then took a look at the phone and then calmly started operating it.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Zheng, I forgot to set my phone to Do Not Disturb. Don't worry, no one will be able to disturb us from now on."

"You didn't even answer the calls from your advisor and Academician Yuan?"

"Haha, don't worry, I've sent messages to Director Tian and Master Shi on WeChat. They're eager to stay away from all this trouble. As long as I'm obedient and don't go out, no one can stop me!"
