Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 1071 - 417: Very Happy to Tease This? _2

In comparison, the older brother is much quieter, just likes to put his thumb in his mouth, tilt his head to one side, and sleep very peacefully.

In the eyes of adults on both sides, this became clear evidence that one child is like the father and the other like the mother.

After all, in life, Qiao Ze is indeed quiet, while Su Mucheng is active, leaving no room for argument.

Yes, the whole day, everyone else was busy with their own things, while Qiao Ze devoted most of his energy to accompanying the two little ones. Although he couldn’t help with much, he could call for help with diaper changes when they cried, or be the first to guide the little ones to the "food warehouse".

After returning home, with Dou Dou joining in, the house became even livelier.

The carrier on Dou Dou’s back, layered with thick cushioning, could be transformed into a baby carriage, capable of taking the two little ones running around the house. Yet, fitting two babies at once was still a bit cramped; now, while they’re sleeping, it barely works, but in another month or two, it might not.

But these are not major issues for Qiao Ze; he just needs Dou Dou to redesign a larger carrier for himself, preferably one that can rock side to side, thus saving even the need for a cradle. Having Dou Dou really saved the adults a lot of trouble.

As the weather got hotter, Dou Dou’s mechanical arm could hold a fan to cool the little ones down, and also automatically ward off all sorts of mosquito and insect disturbances, which delighted both grandmothers. They praised Dou Dou like a flower, solidifying the reputation of this family trio as valuable treasures.

Only, Qiao Ze thus became more disliked by Lu Xiuxiu.

After all, from her perspective, her own son just stupidly stood in front of the two little ones, staring blankly without offering any help, looking not very clever.

Everyone else was concerned whether Qiao Ze’s academic level had improved, or if he managed to achieve some other accomplishments, while Lu Xiuxiu wished her son would transfer some of that academic sharpness to everyday life.

Anyway, with his career already successful, she was very satisfied with such a cozy little life.

In some sense, Lu Xiuxiu’s thoughts somewhat defied the evolution of human civilization. But from a mother’s standpoint, no one could say there was anything wrong with it.

So early the next morning, Qiao Ze was sent to the research institute to work.

Lu Xiuxiu found Qiao Ze at home unhelpful, while he seemed like an eyesore. Su Mucheng understood that Qiao Ze should indeed make more achievements at the research institute. Being stuck at home every day would only make both of them feel bored.

For Qiao Ze, this arrangement was quite satisfactory too.

Not only because he had promised to meet with Satya Nadella in the afternoon, but mainly because his paper’s progress was also being delayed.

Although the two little ones were indeed adorable, enough to touch his not-so-sensitive nerves, watching Peter Schultz and Edward Witten argue was also very interesting and meaningful.

Not to mention, he planned to bring more people with already very high math capabilities into the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute to explore those future-related issues together.

...

At the Mathematics Research Institute, after just two days of absence, Lv Bei looked even more haggard. It was clear that managing Dou Dou’s affairs daily was quite stressful.

The good news was that, according to an email from the AI Charter Bureau, a group of allocated talents had already started their week-long intensive training. After the training, they would take over this aspect of work, while coordinating with Xilin’s local various grassroots management organizations to handle AI management dispute resolutions.

Once this group formally started at Xilin, personnel like Lv Bei could withdraw from this tedious work.

The bad news, however, was that the closed training for this group was scheduled for half a month. In other words, Lv Bei couldn’t rest for half a month. Faced with a big guy congratulating him with an aggrieved expression, Qiao Ze thought that next time something like this happened, he would let Dou Dou directly recommend Lv Bei, so Li Chengze’s team could be on duty instead.

Among close acquaintances, the benefits should be evenly distributed.

Apart from Lv Bei’s dissatisfaction with his recent work, there was nothing much to say. Although he hadn’t been there for two days, the research institute’s work was progressing in an orderly manner. Simply put, it was much the same whether he was there or not.

Even the celebratory candies for the baby’s birth were distributed by Li managing director at his own expense, ensuring no one among the over seven hundred members of the institute missed out, truly enhancing the sense of camaraderie.

This was all due to Li Jiangao being relatively low-key; according to Xu Dajiang, initially, he wanted to put up a banner for celebration, but managing director Li politely declined.

This somewhat made Xu Dajiang feel it was a pity, and upon learning about it, Qiao Ze again felt deep gratitude towards Uncle Li from the bottom of his heart.

After all, if a banner were really put up, it would indeed feel quite odd.

Once he sorted out the work accumulated over the past two days, Li Chengze came to notify him that Satya Nadella would visit at two in the afternoon.

In fact, this Microsoft president had arrived in Xilin the previous night and was being received by the department responsible for business at Xilin’s side. The Mathematics Research Institute also arranged for Yu Chenggong to accompany them, staying at a hotel not far from the new campus of Xilin University of Technology.

Considering that for Edward Witten, this was akin to a hometown visit, Qiao Ze specifically asked whether he wanted to meet this Microsoft president, but Professor Witten promptly refused.

Qiao Ze speculated that this might imply that the Microsoft president wasn’t very well-liked in the United States.

After all, under usual circumstances, a mathematical physicist wouldn’t refuse a meeting with such a tech giant.

At two in the afternoon, when Satya Nadella arrived on time for the appointment, Qiao Ze noticed that this Microsoft president did indeed seem to have a slight issue; as he stood at the office door, he paused briefly before hesitantly stepping into the office.

Then he politely greeted, "Hello, Professor Qiao, it’s a pleasure to meet you."

"Hello, Mr. Nadella, please have a seat."

Qiao Ze gestured toward the sofa specifically set for guests in the office and said, then thought a moment and added consolingly, "You don’t need to be too nervous." frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

"Nervous?" Satya Nadella blinked, then realized something and immediately said, "Oh no, Professor Qiao, I think you misunderstand, I don’t feel nervous. Actually, meeting you feels very relaxing, truly."

"Oh, I saw you hesitated a bit when you came in," Qiao Ze replied flatly.

Upon hearing this, Satya Nadella said with a serious face, "That was because I remembered what Mr. Yu said yesterday. He’s a very, very nice person, who specifically reminded me of some things."

Qiao Ze, of course, knew the Director Yu referred to by this Microsoft president was Yu Chenggong, appointed to be responsible for administrative work. To be honest, this Uncle Yu indeed had a way of earning people’s good graces, but Qiao Ze was truly curious about what Yu Chenggong said to make this big shot so full of praise.

Even saying "A very, very nice person."

Estimating that even Dou Dou wouldn’t receive such high praise, he couldn’t help but ask, "Oh? What did he remind you of?"

"Um, I hope you don’t feel offended, I think Mr. Yu was just well-intentioned."

"Of course, in fact, I’ve always held Mr. Yu in high regard, and I believe he wouldn’t offend me," Qiao Ze replied.

"Well, he told me that you are a very rules and detail-oriented person. For example, you don’t like it when someone enters your office with their left foot first, as it makes you feel offended. There were even disagreements caused by these details, which is why I was very careful to use my right foot when stepping in just now."

Satya Nadella stated frankly.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Ze instinctively pursed his lips.

He wasn’t really sure what mentality Yu Chenggong had last night, earnestly telling Satya Nadella these things while managing to keep a straight face.

After all, nothing like that had ever happened.

He wondered if his playful act made Yu Chenggong feel particularly delighted...

But since it was just a minor issue, and not harmful, he let it go.

However, he suspected that next time he met Yu Chenggong, he might really ask if this Microsoft CEO really did specially step into the office with his right foot first.

Oh well, as long as the people around are happy.

So Qiao Ze said casually, "Thank you for respecting my meticulous attention to details."

"No, I’ve always believed that we should respect everyone’s attention to details with an inclusive attitude, just like we should respect different ethnic customs, which is a basic quality humans should have."

Satya Nadella elucidated this viewpoint earnestly and solemnly.
