Xueba's computing system

Chapter 98: Connections are more attractive than abilities
He had passed the mentor's test for the time being, but Lin Yuan went to great lengths to come up with the Feng Shui AI model parameters not just to deal with the mentor.

Because in the future, as Haotuan rolls out its food delivery algorithm, the outside world will always wonder about one question - where did Haotuan's new algorithm come from?

Lin Yuan's move can actually be considered as preparing for a rainy day.
-
In the blink of an eye, it is the end of October and deep autumn has arrived.

Lin Yuan's first semester of graduate school is already halfway through, and he doesn't really feel like studying. Because for him, working in the Good Group has become his main job, and studying has become a side job.

In addition to occasionally going to Haotuan Company, Lin Yuan's daily routine every week is mostly spent in a corner of the classroom with a laptop in his arms.

Ever since everyone learned at the entrance ceremony that he worked at the Haotuan Internal Research Institute, classmates often came to talk to him.

Originally, Lin Yuan wanted to be a quiet poor student, the kind that no one would notice.

But the rule of the world is always - people are afraid of becoming famous, pigs are afraid of getting fat, and the rich have distant relatives even if they live in the mountains.

"Lin Yuan, how did you get into the research institute?"

“Is it difficult to interview at a large Internet company?”

"Can you help me get an internal referral?"

.

.

Lin Yuan often has to face this kind of approach.

Because of the current economic downturn, the IT industry has also been impacted. However, IT is a tool-based industry after all.

The so-called tool industry is used by all walks of life. Nowadays, any company that has something to do with intelligence will always have IT development needs.

It's like, no restaurant can be without oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Whenever a new industry emerges, people are always surprised to find out: Damn, why do we still have to hire a few programmers?

Just like the new energy industry which has been very popular in recent years. Materials people boast that they have ushered in spring. But they were surprised to find that although materials science is at the core of the new energy industry, programmers are still standing there, looking at you with an irreplaceable smile.

This is the awesome thing about tool-based professions, just like you can’t live without rice and noodles.

So, although the IT industry's heyday has passed, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and the IT industry's sunset glow is still brighter than other industries.

The best positions in the IT industry, except for a few with names beginning with "Guo" or "Central", are in big companies in the Internet and gaming sectors.

Good positions at the central government are hard to come by, so big Internet companies have become the main battlefield for IT monkeys to fight over.

As a senior engineer at the internal research institute of a second-tier Internet giant, Lin Yuan is a very popular person.

GPA, credits, major rankings, and competition places, aren't they all for the final job search? Lin Yuan has bypassed these avenues and has reached the end point in everyone's eyes with one sword.

Lin Yuan was at a loss as to what to do with his classmates’ excessive enthusiasm, so he had to put an anti-peeping film on his notebook because there would always be pairs of eyes suddenly appearing beside him.

Even the few girls in the two classes of this major often gathered around Lin Yuan.

There are few female students in IT majors, and even fewer at the graduate level.

Those girls often looked at Lin Yuan with admiration, as if they were admiring a living academic master.

Even the teacher often called Lin Yuan to answer questions intentionally or unintentionally. In order not to embarrass himself in front of everyone, Lin Yuan had to waste energy preparing for the day's homework in advance.

In the end, Lin Yuan was really fed up with it. He felt that this would not work.

But it is definitely unrealistic to skip classes frequently since the statement is out there.

After much thought, he finally came up with a vicious plan - to defile himself.

Therefore, from then on, Lin Yuan, whether consciously or unconsciously, wanted to tell everyone that I got into the Good Group Research Institute through connections, so don't come to me to ask questions. I can't do that.

He even went out of his way to copy other people's homework.

You know what, copying homework is really fun.

Many things learned in school are not purposeful in the first place, such as operating systems and database principles. Many IT practitioners will never use such in-depth theories in their lifetime, so Lin Yuan’s habit of this kind of knowledge is to look up information when needed.

Therefore, it was okay to copy the homework for many courses. After a period of self-debasement, everyone gradually accepted Lin Yuan's personality as a person with connections.

Of course, the real hero here is Gu Xuan.

Because ever since Lin Yuan became famous at the opening ceremony, Gu Xuan's halo as the top student in his field had faded. Naturally, he was very unhappy.

After hearing that Lin Yuan got into the research institute through connections, Gu Xuan was immediately relieved - I knew it, there was no way that poor student could have gotten in on his own.

So Gu Xuan became confident again, and at the same time he privately fueled Lin Yuan's personality as a person with connections.

“I knew it the day of the interview.”

"I saw it with my own eyes. The teachers took special care of him."

"Otherwise, given his ranking in the major, how could it be possible that his supervisor is Professor Zhang, and he was admitted to a good group research institute?"

.

.

Gu Xuan was willing to be Lin Yuan's tool, and Lin Yuan was too lazy to talk to him. Being a jerk is quite useful when it is used in the right place.

After that, gradually no one came to Lin Yuan to ask questions anymore.

But there are still many classmates who respect him.

Lin Yuan’s simplicity made him overlook a problem before - sometimes, having connections is more attractive than having abilities...

Some classmates respected him more than they did the counselor, which even Lin Yuan himself did not expect.

Lin Yuan was soon relieved. After all, the counselor was urging you to find a job quickly, while Lin Yuan seemed to be able to help you find a job with just a flick of his finger.

Finally, Lin Yuan was too lazy to care about what others thought of him. As long as they didn't come to him to ask questions, everything else was fine.

Even though Gu Xuan had been competing with Lin Yuan privately for half a semester, Lin Yuan never really took him seriously. On the surface, the two of them still maintained the harmony of fellow apprentices.

At an appropriate time, Lin Yuan finally proposed his idea to Gu Xuan, "Can you tell me about your 3D structured light project?"

Gu Xuan quickly realized Lin Yuan's intention to join his project, and also quickly understood Lin Yuan's intention to be the second author.

"Don't worry, I'm here. This second work will definitely be yours."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Gu Xuan did not deliberately make things difficult for Lin Yuan on this project. He even regarded Lin Yuan's move as a sign of surrender to him - you are a person with connections, but in the end you still have to come to me for begging.

Gu Xuan had to admit that he was jealous of Lin Yuan. He really thought Lin Yuan was a relative, and what he was jealous of was naturally the invisible relationship between Lin Yuan and Lin Yuan.

Gu Xuan's family obviously had some background, as he drove a Benz C260 in his first year of graduate school. But his family was not so good as to be able to be like Lin Yuan, who was ranked in the s in his major, but could still cling to the thighs of senior professors and get into a good research institute. So Gu Xuan was very jealous.

Of course, this is how Lin Yuan is viewed in Gu Xuan’s eyes.

How could Gu Xuan not be proud when a relative whom he actually envied asked him for help?

Lin Yuan didn't know how he could make Gu Xuan feel like a loser who had turned the tables on someone with connections. It was as if the two of them had their personalities reversed.

Lin Yuan was just trying to complete the task of publishing an SCI paper given by the computing system, just to get some computing power from the system. At best, he was using Gu Xuan as a tool.

"Forget it, let him have fun if he wants. Humph, I will be able to earn 50 yuan a year in another month."

But then Lin Yuan found something wrong, because Gu Xuan seemed to be only interested in things like papers to enhance his qualifications. Maybe he didn't care about an annual salary of 50 at all. Maybe he opened a benz just to keep a low profile.

It seems that I can't get any satisfaction from the other person by paying him 50 yuan a year.

In this case, how come Gu Xuan and I have a similar problem - we treasure what the other already has?

Well, Lin Yuan once again felt that this world seemed a little funny...
