They're already in university, and the primary school system is only just starting out?

Chapter 105 Tao Wei's Curiosity

Shen Yan's slight nervousness and shyness quickly subsided after talking about work.

She returned to her workstation, neatly arranged her books and materials, and then, oblivious to her surroundings, immersed herself in studying other clients' information.

As Chen Lin watched the outline of the company's business gradually become clear, he felt a sense of relief.

He lay back in his ergonomic chair, stretched, and temporarily cleared his mind of business-related thoughts.

Next, it's time to get down to business.

The core mathematical proof of that graduation thesis was complete, but the remaining abstract, introduction, and...

Literature reviews, acknowledgments, appendices... these tedious but time-consuming written tasks should also be put on the agenda.

These jobs required almost no brainpower from him; they were purely physical labor.

Chen Lin set himself a small goal—to get everything done within a week!

Around the same time, a thousand miles apart.

Dongguan City, Guangdong Province.

Inside an office in the Genesis Group headquarters building.

Tao Wei, the deputy general manager of the software R&D department, had just hung up the phone call from Sun Yu.

He put down his phone, leaned back in the large boss's chair, and unconsciously tapped his fingers lightly on the table, a playful contemplation on his face.

Opposite him stood a young man in his late twenties, wearing black-rimmed glasses and exuding a capable air; he was none other than his capable assistant, Luo Qin.

"Luo Qin, that phone call just now was from Yanhai Company, which General Manager Peng introduced," Tao Wei said slowly.

"Oh? What did they say? Did they give up, or are they going to come and give it a try?" Luo Qin asked curiously.

Tao Wei smiled and said, "No, that's not it. They said they could solve our test question, but it's a separate technical service, and we need to sign a contract first. The fee is 10,000 yuan."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qin's eyebrows shot up, and his voice rose several decibels, "Ten thousand yuan?! Just for solving a test question? That's outrageous! They really think too highly of themselves! Do they really think they're the top experts in the country?"

Looking at his assistant's indignant expression, Tao Wei neither agreed nor disagreed.

He slowly turned halfway around in his chair, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Luo Qin, have you seen that video that went viral online last month? It's about a student from Yannan University who solved a difficult problem at a modeling competition in front of a bunch of professors and academicians."

"I don't remember." Luo Qin shook his head. He had been focusing all his attention on the project lately and had no time to watch short videos.

Tao Wei nodded, seemingly expecting this. He picked up his phone, opened WeChat, found a video link in his chat history with Peng Yifeng, and then handed the phone to Luo Qin.

"Take a look at this first."

Luo Qin took the phone with some confusion and pressed play.

The video quality is somewhat shaky, obviously filmed by an audience member with their phone, but the sound is relatively clear.

When he saw the young man named "Chen Lin" in the video glance at the problem on the blackboard, spend less than a minute, pick up the chalk, and start writing the solution on the blackboard without hesitation, Luo Qin's eyes, hidden behind his glasses, showed surprise for the first time.

too fast!

This speed of thinking is simply inhuman!

Luo Qin himself was a top student in college; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to join Chuangjiyuan, a top domestic listed company, right after graduation and be cultivated as a core technical talent.

Based on his still-partially forgotten math knowledge, along with the explanations and analyses from various expert netizens in the video's bullet comments, he quickly determined that the young man on the screen was not just pretending to write nonsense; rather, every step of his derivation was concise, elegant, and full of logical beauty, directly addressing the core of the problem!

It was a kind of effortless composure and confidence that he had only seen in his mentor, a well-known mathematics professor in China!

The video was short and finished playing quickly.

Luo Qin silently handed the phone back to Tao Wei, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily. He asked with a hint of uncertainty, "Mr. Tao, this Chen Lin... he wouldn't happen to be...?"

'

Tao Wei looked at his shocked expression, smiled and nodded, confirming his guess.

"That's right. When Mr. Peng introduced Yanhai to me, he clearly stated that the founder of this company is Chen Lin, the man in the video."

"hiss-

—

Luo Qin couldn't help but gasp, and the slight resentment he felt due to his youthful arrogance was instantly washed away.

For the first time, he genuinely felt a sense of awe, realizing that "there are always mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people."

I thought that someone like me, who graduated from a prestigious university and made a name for myself in a big company at a young age, was already one of the best among my peers.

Compared to Chen Lin, the college student in the video, his so-called excellence was simply a joke.

Tao Wei took in Luo Qin's reaction and slowly spoke, making his own judgment.

"Although I don't know whether Chen Lin can ultimately solve the problems we are facing, after all, so many top teams in China have been working hard in this field for so many years, but their progress has been very limited."

He changed the subject, his tone becoming incredibly certain.

"However, one thing I'm certain of."

Tao Wei's gaze sharpened as he looked at his assistant and said, enunciating each word clearly, "This Chen Lin is truly talented in mathematics."

After listening, Luo Qin digested the information, but a new question arose in his mind.

He asked, somewhat puzzled, "Mr. Tao, since you're so certain, why go through all that trouble of having him solve that test question? Wouldn't it be more direct to invite him over and discuss the project face-to-face?"

Upon hearing this question, a rare hint of embarrassment appeared on Tao Wei's usually composed expression. He even unconsciously scratched his head and smiled.

"Well, well—it's mainly because I'm a little curious myself."

"Curious?" Luo Qin was even more confused.

"Yes, it's curiosity." Tao Wei's eyes gleamed with the fervent light unique to technicians. "That problem, although not extremely difficult, still took me and a few core technical staff from our department most of the time to figure out."

He leaned forward slightly, his tone full of anticipation: "I just want to see with my own eyes how these true geniuses approach problem-solving when faced with real problems in our industry, and how they differ from us ordinary people."
