Chapter 289 Chance Encounter

Chapter 289 Chance Encounter
"Are you going to participate in the project research again?"

Hu Li was speechless.

Looking at her boyfriend who hung up the phone, she asked unhappily.

"Uh……"

Lu Yao reacted belatedly, and after taking a look at her expression, a hint of apology appeared on his face:
"I'm sorry, I forgot to think about you."

"..."

Hu Li was actually quite speechless.

She has been very happy recently.

Her boyfriend is finally not so busy anymore, and they can get together two days a week without fail. When the weather gets warmer next year, she will definitely be able to spend more time in China...

As a result, things have just gotten better, so why is he busy again?

She heard clearly on the phone just now that her boyfriend's mentor invited him to participate in a chip design project.

After being together for a long time, although she still did not understand any professional knowledge, she understood that the development of each chip was a huge project.

It is calculated in years.

She had seen what her boyfriend was like when he was busy...

But looking into his eyes, Hu Li couldn't help but recall the extremely excited look on his face when he answered the phone just now.

I guess he must be very interested in this project, right?

Besides, his enthusiasm for researching chips is really high.

Thinking of this, facing her boyfriend's apology, she shook her head helplessly:
"It's okay. This is what you're interested in. Forget it. You don't have to consider me... Are you doing research for Huawei this time?"

"If nothing else, yes."

"Oh, that's good. Working for them is much better than doing that research by yourself. At least you work from 9 to 5, and have weekends off... At worst, I can move to Shenzhen next year."

"Um...are you sure you're not angry?"

"No. You're a genius~"

She touched her boyfriend's face lovingly and said with a smile:

"Who made me fall in love with someone who doesn't come home?"

"…What kind of crappy songs have you been listening to lately?"

"hey-hey."

Hu Li smiled, glanced at the time, and pulled him up:

"Let's go eat."

"What to eat?"

"Let's get some Wenchang chicken. It's from the same restaurant we went to last time. I think it tastes pretty good."

"Walk."

His girlfriend's understanding instantly made him feel relieved.

What followed was a touch of excitement.

This time, he wanted to see...how far Qilin could go when he applied these epoch-making technologies himself.

……

After staying in Sanya for two days, he rushed back to Shenzhen on Sunday evening to meet Sun Liqiang.

"tutor."

"Well, come in."

After Lu Yao walked into the room, Sun Liqiang didn't hesitate and directly picked up a document and handed it to him:

“This is the current rough plan for the project.”

"…Just one page?"

Lu Yao opened the folder with great joy, but when he saw the page of paper inside, he was instantly speechless.

Sun Liqiang rolled his eyes:

"I am only responsible for writing your name on the proposal list and submitting it. Only after they agree can you know the part of the R&D plan that you are responsible for. This is a company secret. What's wrong with that? Do you think I should show you the plans for all the projects?"

"hey-hey."

Lu Yao laughed dryly and looked down.

K chip research project

The name is very crude and the content is very dry.

The research company is HiSilicon, and the main responsible company is HiSilicon Central Laboratory.

The plan requires the vehicle to be equipped with the CA9 platform and a 28NM size requirement.

The research and development funds are listed as "200 million yuan (proposed)"

It’s such a simple thing. Apart from knowing the project name and the R&D responsible organization, nothing else is known.

But for Lu Yao...it was enough.

The moment he learned the size of 28NM, he knew what Huawei was researching.

So he nodded, closed the plan, and asked:

"When does it begin?"

"After the Chinese New Year, the project has definitely been confirmed, but the members are still being drafted."

“I should be selected, right?”

"Isn't this as it should be?"

Sun Liqiang gave Lu Yao a reassurance:

"You are quite famous now, a little prodigy with a photographic memory."

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but say:

"I'm already 20, am I still young?"

"Yeah, you're not young anymore, you're already 20."

"……hey-hey."

Purely pretending that he didn't hear the instructor's words, he continued to ask:

"So do I need to prepare anything?"

"No need. Although HiSilicon cannot find your research results, they have their own channels and can find out some things. After knowing your main research results, they will definitely go to find out. They don't need to know the specific project, just the confidentiality level. Besides, you will definitely get all the data of your RF chip tape-out next year, and the LTE baseband project is enough to prove your ability. I am only worried about whether you can handle it."

Lu Yao was stunned.

I immediately understood what the instructor was talking about.

indeed.

He is confident that the RF chip will be able to pass the tape-out verification.

The importance of Beidou navigation is self-evident.

By then, the country will definitely require itself to carry out research and development.

"I should be able to handle it."

He thought about it, nodded and said:
"I have a good idea about the RF chip project. As long as the tape-out is successful and my initial design is proven to be feasible, then the subsequent research and development will not be done by me alone. The country can't let me die from overwork, right? So I can probably form a research and development team, and then I only need to control the overall direction. As for this side... just stagger the two sides."

"..."

Sun Liqiang thought for a moment and said:
"I originally planned to assign you to a research group. But now it seems that this is not going to work... But now the question is... Do you want to join Huawei?"

"Well……"

Lu Yao immediately understood what he meant.

He is still a little transparent now.

If he doesn't join the company, Huawei will definitely not let him join the core projects.

This is a problem...

In fact, the reason is very simple. This is their own project, not outsourced, so they must let their own people to develop it. And his current status is naturally not as good as Sun Liqiang's. He is a "special hire" while he is only a "temporary".

As for Sun Liqiang, he looked at his disciple in deep thought...

In fact, to be honest, he still recognized his disciple's abilities.

This child is indeed a genius, with thinking and abilities far beyond ordinary people.

Not to mention graduate students...even ordinary PhDs may not be as good as him.

In the field of scientific research, geniuses are sometimes so unreasonable.

This is a talent, and it cannot be shortened through hard work.

Therefore, he had great confidence in his disciple... After all, judging from past events, Lu Yao's abilities were self-evident.

But...if he doesn't join Huawei, it's not that they can't "play" together, but he will definitely not be able to touch any core things after joining.

And if it was just pure cooperation, even he felt that his disciple's talents were being wasted here.

It's a waste of time.

So he thought about it and suddenly said:

"So be it."

Looking at Lu Yao who looked up, he expressed his thoughts:
"I won't put you on the list yet. Next year, when your RF chip is approved, I will start recommending you. You should hurry up and finish the LTE baseband project. The shorter the time, the better. Even I know how much Huang Feng and his team rely on you for this project. When the project is completed and summarized, he, as your senior, will not take the credit from you."

"Teacher, do you mean to let Haisi see my value?"

"They have already seen it, but they don't quite understand how much contribution you have made. Therefore, you can focus on radio frequency chips next year..."

"I will definitely put it there. Beidou is a national strategy. I am only interested in the 28NM chip, but if I really have to choose between the two, I will definitely choose the former."

"Well, that's for sure. So go ahead and do it. Good wine needs no bush."

Hearing this, Lu Yao immediately understood what his mentor meant:
"So... Huawei is going to invite me?"

"Ah."

Sun Liqiang nodded:

"The development of a chip, from project establishment to investment in research and development, still requires a certain amount of time and process. There will definitely be difficulties during this period. I will take care of it when the time comes. We can't let the pearl be left in the dust, right?"

Tsk.

After understanding the meaning of these words, Lu Yao sighed in his heart.

Sure enough...the meaning of a mentor is embodied here at this moment.

So, he nodded:
"understood."

"Well, then I won't mention your name for now. You just focus on your research, and I'll take care of the rest."

"Got it."

This is the best way to deal with it.

The concepts of taking the initiative to surrender and visiting someone three times are indeed different.

……

After discussing the next matters with his tutor, Lu Yao immediately started to speed up.

The LTE project itself is not difficult for him, but the completion time of this project may affect his subsequent arrangements, so he naturally has to pay attention to it.

So, people in Huang Feng’s laboratory discovered that Lu Yan had changed a little.

In the past, everyone would come to him when they encountered problems, but now he is the one who comes to everyone.

The initiative is fully utilized.

But no one thought it was a big deal. After spending a month or two together, everyone already knew what kind of person he was, so no one thought about anything else.

As it turned out, the project speed did speed up, but not by much.

Again, this kind of project is not something that anyone can accomplish overnight if they suddenly have a burst of inspiration.

Even if the speed is increased, it is accumulated little by little.

So the results are not yet visible. Moreover... on Christmas Day, the men in the lab are restless and have begun to change their minds.

Huang Feng originally wanted to arrange a table this Friday, but Lu Yao did not agree.

He has to become a master of time management this Christmas.

……

Time flies and Friday arrives.

In the afternoon, Lu Yao got off work early, arrived at the airport, and boarded the plane back north.

As soon as he arrived in Shanghai in the evening, he felt the Christmas atmosphere in Xu Ruochu's car.

In downtown Shanghai, all stores, big and small, have Christmas stickers on their windows.

Some stores are even more luxurious and have already lit up the Christmas trees inside.

"Christmas..."

He sat in the car and sighed:
“Another wave of GDP.”

"…You sound like you care a lot about GDP."

Xu Ruochu rolled her eyes and then looked at the bracelet on her wrist.

This was the birthday gift Lu Yao gave her.

In fact, it is not worth much. According to him, he saw it at a handicraft stall in Sanya. It is made of agate, a bracelet made of a string of colorful agate stones.

She has worn expensive jewelry since she was a child, but she likes it very much.

Because Lu Yao also wore a necklace on his hand.

Also because these colorful stones look beautiful together.

This is enough.

She actually has no idea about whether Christmas gifts are expensive or cheap.

No need.

It's good to feel this kindness.

Facing the complaints from the royal sister, Lu Yao shrugged and looked through the WeChat group chat.

Xu Ruochu stretched his head to take a look and asked:

"Are you coming over tonight?"

In the group, You Run was shouting that they were going to MIXX to have fun tonight.

"Of course not."

Lu Yao shook his head directly:

"During the New Year and other holidays, there are a lot of people in various entertainment venues... so your friends don't invite you to spend the holidays with them?"

"Who doesn't go see their boyfriends on Christmas? Besides, some of them are married, so they will definitely spend this holiday with their families. They are not single."

Hearing this, Lu Yao looked at her strangely...

Because Wang Jun was driving, he put his hand to his mouth. Xu Ruochu also leaned over and heard:
"Weren't you still single on this day last year?"

"..."

Xu Ruochu's mouth twitched.

After rolling his eyes at him unhappily, he said:
"Then find someone who is not single to celebrate the holiday with."

"Ha~"

Amid Lu Yao's laughter, the car drove all the way to the restaurant where the two were going to have dinner.

"Why Japanese food again?"

Looking at the restaurant that was obviously decorated in Japanese style, Lu Yao was speechless.

"It's newly opened. I tried it once and it tasted good. I want to try it with you."

"Who did you come with last time?"

"With my stepmother."

"I found that Aunt Lin really likes Japanese food..."

The two chatted as they walked into the restaurant under the guidance of the waiter.

This type of Japanese restaurant still retains the open kitchen of the Ryōtei, with the main dishes being prepared in the back, while sushi and other dishes are prepared in front of the diners.

As a result, Lu Yao just took a look at the Japanese food table and stopped in his tracks.

"Vesna?"

"...?"

He was surprised when he saw Luo Xuewei sitting at the dining table.

And Luo Xuewei also saw him.

He was obviously stunned.

Then she also saw Xu Ruochu.

"Lu Yao? Ru Chu?"

"???"

Xu Ruochu was also full of surprise.

But immediately she and Lu Yao looked at a gentle-looking man next to her who also looked over.

The man was wearing black-framed glasses, and judging by his age... he was about thirty-five years old, very thin, and actually looked quite ordinary. If you had to pick out one feature about him, it would be his hair.

gray.

Although it is not extremely gray, it looks similar to premature graying of hair.

If I really want to find a specific image, it would be the color of Zhou Xingchi when he is not filming.

A hint of doubt arose in Lu Yao's heart.

Who is this person?

Because he knew Luo Xuewei's identity, he would be wary of anyone who appeared around her.

When the man saw Lu Yao and Xu Ruochu, his first reaction was to turn his head and look at Luo Xuewei.

This action further shows that the two are together.

Then, Luo Xuewei stood up with a smile:

"What a coincidence. Are you eating here too?"

"Uh...right."

Xu Ruochu nodded belatedly.

Although the two have met before, it was Hu Li's relationship after all. She herself was not very fond of Luo Xuewei, but naturally she didn't hate her either.

It's just that the relationship is not close.

Then, Luo Xuewei looked at Lu Yao:
"When did you come back?"

"Just arrived, having dinner with Sister Chu and Brother Xiaochen."

"Brother Xiaochen...Xu Ruochen?"

"Yes, but he won't be here for a while."

Hearing Lu Yao's words, Luo Xuewei said speechlessly:

"Can you tell me ahead of time when you come back next time? How embarrassing is that?"

"What's so embarrassing about this..."

Lu Yao smiled and shook his head:

"What are you..."

"Oh yes, let me introduce you. Zhao Lijun, my friend."

"Hello."

Lu Yao smiled and stretched out his hand:

"Lu Yao."

"Uh, hello, hello, Zhao Lijun."

Only then did Zhao Lijun put down his chopsticks and turned his body around.

But Lu Yao noticed a detail when he put down the chopsticks, that is... the nail of his right middle finger was slightly bulging.

It looks like calluses.

"Xu Ruochu."

Xu Ruochu also extended his hand politely.

"Hello, Miss Xu."

The other party was also very polite.

Luo Xuewei didn't seem to want to introduce Zhao Lijun's identity, and didn't even mention what Lu Yao and Xu Ruochu did. She just glanced at the already full table and asked:
"Have you reserved a seat?"

“I have it.”

Before Lu Yao opened his mouth, Xu Ruochu said:

"It's very difficult to book a seat at his restaurant. We booked a private room long in advance."

"Yes, yes, it's very difficult to reserve a table. I only managed to get one with the help of a friend... This restaurant is very popular in Shanghai right now."

Zhao Lijun nodded quickly.

Like he's showing off something.

Xu Ruochu smiled slightly:
"It seems like great minds think alike... Then let's go eat together in the private room? There are only three of us."

"no thanks."

Luo Xuewei pointed at the plates in front of them:
"We've all eaten our last one."

As she spoke, she glanced at Lu Yao:
"You guys eat, we're all ready to go... come play at the bar tomorrow?"

"What a coincidence."

Lu Yao laughed:
"I'll be there in a minute. Are you going back tonight?"

He began to test the other party's next itinerary.

As soon as he asked, he saw Zhao Lijun turn his head and look at Luo Xuewei.

Luo Xuewei nodded slightly:
"Well, I'll go back after dinner."

"..."
