I am weak and friendly

Chapter 417 Tang Yiping's First Open Source Team (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month)
"Please sit down, Teacher Zhou." Xu Songnian quickly stood up and invited Zhou Siyuan to sit down, thus brushing off Tang Yiping's abrupt invitation.

The other party was Tang Yiping's teacher, and a teacher who taught a professional course like "Data Structures".

Although Xu Songnian is not a computer science major, none of the professional courses at a university like Chuanling University are easy. The teachers can be said to hold the power of life and death. Getting closer to the teachers might save Tang Yiping's life at a critical moment.

Xu Songnian didn't want Tang Yiping to talk nonsense.

Unlike Tang Yiping, Xu Songnian had experienced all sorts of harsh treatment from society, including repeated beatings and being hung up and beaten.

but……

Just as he changed the subject, he heard Tang Yiping say, "Teacher, are you also planning to have me introduce you to General Manager Chen?"

Xu Songnian wished he could knock himself unconscious with a stick.

No, so all my interruptions were for nothing, right?
Can't you keep your mouth shut, kid?

Sigh... these kids born after 05...

Having been repeatedly battered and bruised by society, Xu Songnian felt a deep generation gap, the kind that could ruin him.

But what else can we do? We can't just ignore it!
Tang just helped me so much...

He was about to speak when he heard Zhou Siyuan say with a smile, "Of course not, I came for you, Tang. It's rare to have such an outstanding student, so I came quickly..."

"Actually, I was just interning at Linghai Technology. I'm really not that great..." Tang Yiping quickly clarified, "My programming skills are very weak. I was taught by others... I really didn't do any impressive work."

Elsewhere, Tang Yiping could pretend to be cool.

After all, there are no exams in other places.

If there's a problem, we can just use the dog!

Dogs don't tattle, right?

but……

It won't work with Zhou Siyuan!
Zhou Siyuan is really going to have an exam here!
What if you brag about your achievements, only to get a zero on the exam?
Are you suggesting we let the dog take the exam too?

Therefore, Tang Yiping dared not be reckless or pretentious at all.

After all, I really am just a weakling with only 1302 points on Marks.com!
Uh, I was misunderstood.

It was all Fu Lixin's fault for misleading Tang! He caused Tang to develop a habitual way of thinking!
Actually, I was referring to your open-source OIFU and ROBO-FU!
Zhou Siyuan was helpless.

But Tang Yiping was so humble and low-key, he thought, Tang really doesn't want others to know his true identity.

He originally wanted to mention that he was also a user of L station, and then steer the conversation towards the fact that he was the one behind Recursion Dream. He thought that if he did that, Tang would understand.

But for now, we have no choice but to give up.

Anyway, I've already made contact with Tang, so let's leave it at that for now and talk about it later, no rush.

"Tang, don't be modest. You're the most promising young talent in my class right now," Zhou Siyuan said. "You mentioned open-source projects earlier. What have you open-sourced this time?"

The conversation turned to this open-source project, and the group found common ground.

This meeting wasn't as bad as Zhou Siyuan had imagined; in fact, all his worries turned out to be unfounded.

The three of them had a very pleasant chat.

Tang Yiping rarely gets this close to his teacher.

As an SMA patient, Tang Yiping spends most of his time in seclusion. Whether it's changing classes or doing other things, he needs more time than others, so he doesn't have time to connect with his teachers. So far, no teacher wants to mentor a student who could potentially die at any moment.

Therefore, Tang Yiping felt that Teacher Zhou was a very approachable teacher!
I feel so lucky to be able to study in Professor Zhou's class.

Although I feel that Teacher Fu is also good, Teacher Zhou is definitely more to my liking.

I must study Data Structures properly!
Tang Yiping thought.

Zhou Siyuan felt that Tang was really approachable, but just too humble and low-key.

Having already achieved so much, he still says he wants to learn from himself.

Am I worthy? How many hands do I even deserve?
However, this time when I go back, I hope my students won't throw me out of the seventh-floor window.

Xu Songnian, who was standing next to them, listened to their conversation and occasionally played the straight man, but as the conversation went on, he felt something was off.

Tang Yiping was a naive young man who hadn't experienced the real world and couldn't tell the difference, but he could.

Isn't Mr. Zhou being a little too respectful to Tang?
This respect is different from that shown to Fu Lixin before.

it's wired.

"I have a meeting this afternoon, so I'll head back first. Do you need me to take you home?" Zhou Siyuan asked the two after finishing their meal.

"No need, thank you, Teacher Zhou," Tang Yiping said. "I plan to show Lao Xu around the campus again."

"Then I'll be going now." Zhou Siyuan patted Xu Songnian on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Lao Xu, with Tang here, your project will be completed soon."

After watching Zhou Siyuan leave, Xu Songnian asked Tang Yiping, "Pingzi, why was Teacher Xu so... polite to you?"

He originally wanted to use the word "respectful," but after thinking about it, he used the word "polite" instead.

"Really?" Tang Yiping asked blankly.

Of course it is, can't you see it?
Forget it...

"Maybe I'm being too sensitive," Xu Songnian said.

"Come on, I'll take you for a walk around the campus so you can get familiar with it," Tang Yiping said.

“No rush…” Xu Songnian said, “Let’s go back and set up the open-source project first! I have a lot of blueprints and stuff here, should we upload them along with the open-source project?”

If hardware is to be open source, then this is indeed necessary.

“But, Lao Xu, there’s a problem,” Tang Yiping said. “If you plan to open-source this project, it’s equivalent to allowing anyone to use it, including others taking it and turning it into products for sale, etc. You yourself won’t be able to profit from it… Of course, there might be some indirect benefits, but not much…”

"Hey." Xu Songnian waved his hand. "Why would I make money from this! I'd love for someone to turn it into a product, that way it could benefit a lot of people. After all, neither the [0xT1P] big shot nor that 5090 big shot you mentioned charged, right..."

Xu Songnian wasn't going to stay a second longer: "Let's go, let's get this open-source project up and running!"

For most of the afternoon, Tang Yiping and Xu Songnian were busy working on a new open-source project.

They organized all of Xu Songnian's materials, and then organized the code that Xu Songnian had someone modify. Everything was ready, and Tang Yiping also helped Xu Songnian register an account.

Then came the final step.

"If the two of us open source together, and we want to build an organization, what should we call this organization?" Tang Yiping asked.
