Chapter 692 Ding Yao’s invitation
In the laboratory.
Looking at Professor Jiang’s excited back as he left in a hurry, Qian Lele blinked in confusion, but didn’t think much about it.
Just when she was about to return to work.
“Buzz buzz” The computer on the table vibrated.
[Ding Yao: "(>ω<)/Lele! I'm back to school today! Are you busy now? Let's have dinner together at noon?"]
Saw this message.
Qian Lele quickly replied: "Okay, I will be free at about 11:30, and I will call you then"
C
[Ding Yao: "Yeah~ See you later! Mmm~"]
Putting down the phone, Qian Lele showed a brisk smile on his serious face.
Ding Yao is one year older than her and will be a senior at the School of Art when school starts.
Since the grand birthday party during the summer vacation.
As a music performance major, Ding Yao entered an internship at a well-known entertainment company in the imperial capital through her family connections and began to work hard for her dream of becoming a star in the future.
Calculating carefully, Qian Lele has not seen this best friend for almost three months.
I actually miss her very much.
There are many things I want to say to her.
Immediately, Qian Lele stood up.
Came to the four graduate students who were discussing together.
He patted one of the girls on the shoulder and said softly: "Senior Shanshan, I have made an appointment with my classmates for dinner at noon, so you don't have to order food for me."
After joining this experimental group, there is an additional benefit, that is, you can take care of the meals at noon.
This benefit is only available after the cooperation with [Yun Tong Zhi Cui], which is said to be specially provided for the project team.
For the extremely frugal Qian Lele.
This saves more than ten yuan in lunch money every day, which is one of her biggest "little blessings" recently.
"Well, okay." Wang Shanshan made an OK gesture, and then immediately joined the lively discussion.
Qian Lele did not leave immediately, but stood aside and listened quietly.
"I went to a lecture last week about the impact of large AI models on the programming industry. Those of us who are engaged in front-end vision will be eliminated if we don't quickly move to the intersection of algorithms and AI."
"It's too difficult. Look at the computing equipment in our laboratory, they are still GTX graphics cards from four or five years ago. , even running a small model is so laggy. "
"Oh, it would be great if I could join the research group of a top boss like Qingbei. I heard that they cooperate directly with large technology companies, and there is no shortage of equipment, data, and funding. We don't even have a decent corporate cooperation interface here."
"Okay Shanshan, what are you daydreaming about? Now that Professor Jiang can help us win the [Yun Tongzhi] project, it is already quite awesome, just be satisfied."
"Yi, Lele, what are you doing today? You are in your junior year, and you will take the postgraduate entrance examination next year. With your grades, you can actually try one of the top 10 universities. Do you have a goal? "Senior Sister Shanshan asked with concern.
"Not yet—" Qian Lele shook his head.
The heart that was so excited just now because I was about to see my friend gradually sank.
I feel deeply anxious.
With the emergence of large AI models such as ChatGPT-4 and Lime3.0.
Nowadays, programming has begun to enter the era of AI assistance.
With the recommendation of Tang Song, she also began to try to use Lime3.0 to write front-end pages. The amazing efficiency and code quality deeply shocked her.
She felt that the code written by AI was much better than what she had racked her brains to come up with.
The algorithm is also more concise and elegant.
Just like what the seniors and sisters discussed.
By the time they graduate this year, the entire programming field may usher in a sea-shaking change.
In the future, low-end coders may be replaced by AI.
For Qian Lele, this is an imminent existential crisis.
If possible, she actually doesn’t want to go to graduate school.
Because that would delay her precious earning time for three years.
But looking at the current situation.
If you don’t continue your studies, it will be too difficult to truly gain access to AI, the most cutting-edge technology that can change the future.
Even though it is as powerful as Professor Jiang’s laboratory, it has received a considerable amount of scientific research funding because of the [Extract of Yun Tong] project.
But in the face of such bottomless investment in AI research and development, it is still a drop in the bucket.
At most, it is just to purchase a few more latest computing power graphics cards.
At this time.
The wooden door of the laboratory was pushed open with a bang.
The slightly hasty sound of high heels sounded on the floor tiles.
Everyone followed the sound subconsciously.
Then he saw Professor Jiang Yourong, who had a flushed face and walked in quickly.
"Papa"
A crisp clap sounded.
"Everyone, please stop what you are doing for a moment!" Jiang Yourong's voice was trembling with extreme excitement, "I have something that I want to reveal to you in advance!"
Qian Lele was about to leave when his steps suddenly stopped and he stood there too.
The eyes of all the students in the laboratory were curiously focused on their instructor.
They have never seen Professor Jiang show such a look.
As we all know, this young associate professor has always been "Buddhist":
Gentle and non-argumentative, with loose assignments and low requirements, students secretly call her "Ginger Bodhisattva".
But now, her whole body seems to be glowing.
Jiang Yourong looked around the group of students, his eyes burning, as if he was trying his best to restrain the joy in his heart.
She took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Just now, I received a formal invitation."
"Our scientific research team has been successfully selected into the core university cooperation list of the [Xuanji Light World] project!"
Everyone in the laboratory was startled, almost thinking that they heard wrongly.
【Xuanji Light Realm】?
Tang Yi’s precise [Xuanji Light Realm]? !
How is this possible?
"We will be deeply involved in the co-construction of the Human-Computer Interaction and Cognitive Science Joint Laboratory with the teams from Qingbei and the University of Science and Technology of China."
"This means"
Jiang Yourong's voice began to rise uncontrollably.
"Starting from next month, we will receive continuous scientific research funding support from [Xuanji Light World] of 3 million to 5 million per year! We will also receive, provided by them, The world's top AI computing power cluster and the most complete data interface! "
"Buzzing"
The entire laboratory was deathly silent.
Even the hum of the fan seemed to have been cut off.
Almost everyone raised their heads at the same time, eyes widening.
What is this? ! Tied with Qingbei University and University of Science and Technology of China? !
How many millions of scientific research funds? !
Top computing cluster? !
This is simply a fantasy!
Qian Lele felt that his heartbeat was so fast that he could no longer control it.
Although she has just joined the scientific research group, she has also heard her seniors talk about domestic cutting-edge technology companies.
Among them is [Xuanji Light World], which has been in the limelight recently, and is a "next-generation interactive platform" jointly created by Tangyi Precision and Qingning Technology.
Professor Jiang said that they will participate together with the top universities.
A few seconds later.
Wang Shanshan was the first to come to her senses, her voice trembling: "Teacher Jiang, are you serious? No, you are not joking with us, are you? "
Others also They all looked over.
Jiang Yourong straightened his back and his plump chest heaved, "Of course it's true, the invitation email has been sent to my mailbox, it's officially stamped."
"This—""
"Holy shit! How is that possible?"
"We actually got a project of this level?!"
Looking at this group of students who were completely shocked.
Jiang Yourong smiled slightly and coughed lightly, "It's not too surprising. You may not know this, and it's because I'm too low-key. In fact, I once worked at Smile Holdings as a working assistant to Director Jin."
Looking at his mentor blankly.
They have been following Professor Jiang for more than a year. They never expected that their Buddhist tutor would be related to the legendary Jin Meixiao, and he was also a former assistant? !
Jiang Yourong felt happy as he watched this scene.
She finally released the excitement stored in her heart.
That "suppressed sense of pride" is like a bubble, tumbling outwards.
Who knows how she feels now?
Director Jin, I, Jiang Yourong, am back!
.
When Qian Lele walked out of the teaching building of the School of Computer Science, he was still in a state of excitement.
The winter wind blew past her face, but she didn't feel the cold at all.
In my mind, the words that Teacher Jiang just announced were constantly echoing.
It feels like a dream.
If these become a reality, then what projects will she participate in next.
It will no longer be the obscure “data annotation”.
But it is research that can truly be in line with top scientific research.
This means that her resume, qualifications, and even future employment options will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Thinking of this, her heart surged and her steps speeded up unconsciously.
Wait until you reach the Art Institute building.
Far away, I saw that familiar figure.
Ding Yao was standing under the ginkgo tree, kicking the fallen leaves out of boredom.
Today, she is an intern at an entertainment company.
The way he dresses, he looks more like a "quasi-artist", extremely refined.
Qian Lele looked at her and couldn't help but feel a little envy in his heart.
She also likes beautiful clothes, food, and shopping.
But, her world is still too narrow.
But she believes that one day.
You can get there even with your own hands.
"Lele! This way!" Ding Yao saw her and waved excitedly.
"Yao Yao!"
Qian Lele walked faster and faster, and finally started running.
Two girls who had not seen each other for a long time hugged each other passionately.
Chirping and chatting.
"By the way, where are we going to eat? Is there anything you want to eat?"
"I'm treating you today!" Qian Lele pulled him. She raised her arms and smiled with her eyebrows crooked, "There is a new spicy hot pot opened opposite the school. There are many dishes and it is delicious!"
Looking at Qian Lele's bright, expectant eyes.
Ding Yao smiled and responded: "Okay, then I'll listen to you."
The two walked through the slightly bleak campus in early winter and arrived at the "Asuka Hotpot Restaurant".
The heat is thick and the smell of spices whets your appetite.
Qian Lele showed no mercy when ordering.
Add bacon, tripe, fat beef, and pork belly all at once.
He took the initiative to take two bottles of Ding Yao’s favorite juice.
The final weighing totaled 126 yuan.
She didn’t even hesitate and scanned the QR code to pay.
After sitting down in the booth.
Ding Yao looked at this friend up and down, her eyes full of surprise.
"What are you looking at?" Qian Lele was a little embarrassed to be looked at.
"It feels like your whole person has changed. Your skin has gotten better and your eyes have brightened up." Ding Yao smiled and pointed to the list posted on the table, "There are still these, you couldn't bear to part with them before."
"I used to be too poor. "Yes." Qian Lele laughed in a low voice: "As you know, I have a stable job now and earn a lot every month."
"Haha, that's great."
Soon, the steaming spicy pot was served.
The two chatted while eating.
Qian Lele also knew the details of Ding Yao’s recent situation.
She majored in music performance and relied on family connections to join Lehua Entertainment as a "trainee assistant".
Usually I have to follow the artist team to make announcements, do field control, and coordinate backstage equipment.
You also have to take into account your own vocal training.
It sounds glamorous, but it’s actually quite hard.
Qian Lele listened with both admiration and pity in his eyes.
But she knew that her good friend’s family was in very good condition.
Even if you don’t become a star, you can still go back and inherit the family business.
"Come on Yaoyao, I believe you can do it!" She encouraged seriously.
"Let me lend you a good word." Ding Yao smiled and touched the drink bottle with her, and couldn't help asking gossiping: "By the way, how are you and your male idol?" p> "What do you mean, "Nothing's going on"?" Ding Yao raised her eyebrows, "You didn't say anything on WeChat, making it so mysterious."
Qian Lele hesitated for a moment and said, "He is now—my brother."
"Brother?!"
"Well - I recognize him as my elder brother. He helped me a lot and took good care of me. My current part-time job as a front-end developer was arranged by him."
"Okay -" Ding Yao sighed, "It's a pity that such a handsome man, it would be a waste to be an elder brother."
Although she had only met once, she was extremely impressed by the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Even though I am now interning in the entertainment circle of the imperial capital, I have seen many so-called "good-looking" idols.
It is rare for her to see a man who is as outstanding as Tang and Song, both in appearance and aura. But she also knows that a man like Tang and Song will definitely not lack women around him.
This simple Cinderella, as she is now, has a powerful "brother" as her backer, which is also a good choice.
The two were silent for a few seconds.
Ding Yao seemed to suddenly remember something and said: "By the way, are you free tonight?" I recently took a long-term part-time job as a training consultant for a light medical beauty chain. After going back and forth, I got to know two shareholders of that organization.
There is a female shareholder who is about the same age as us. She has a good background and knows the high-level resources of [Tangzong Entertainment].
My internship here is about to end, and I was wondering if I could have a chance to get online.
Tonight, the other party is going to have a party in her private club.
My dad shamelessly helped me get a temporary membership experience card. "
Her eyes were shining and she spoke faster.
"That club is very high-end. Not only does it have free premium SP You can experience A and beauty treatments, and there are all kinds of delicious food! I want to try my luck, and even if I can’t get online, I can go and see the world for free, so let’s go together! ”
Hearing this, Qian Lele hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed by accident.
Since the last time I danced with Tang and Song Dynasties in the Iivehouse of the film and television base.
Later, I mustered up the courage to hug him.
It was as if a level had been opened in her heart, and she was eager to continue upwards and see a wider world.
She no longer refuses Ding Yao’s kindness because she is afraid of being looked down upon.
Moreover, the breaking news that Teacher Jiang just brought made her full of unprecedented expectations and confidence in the future.
She is an optimistic person, as long as there is hope and clear goals in life.
She will definitely move forward bravely!
