Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 108: Taking down the algorithm master! [7 words!]

Li Xu returned home. His father had not come back as usual. Aunt Zhang was preparing dinner, and the other cleaning aunt was not in the living room.

Li Xu asked, "Where is Aunt Liu?"

"Aunt Liu is cleaning the piano room upstairs."

Clean the piano room?
The piano room was where Tang Qiaoning rested.

Li Xu thought of the guy related to the algorithm, pondered for a while, then stood up and walked straight upstairs.

Aunt Liu had just finished cleaning the room and came out with a handkerchief that had just been used to wipe the dust.

Aunt Liu greeted Li Xu, and Li Xu smiled and asked, "Have you finished cleaning inside?"

"Well, after cleaning it wasn't that dirty actually. There was just a little dust that I wiped off."

Li Xu nodded.

Just as Aunt Liu said, it's not that dirty inside.

Although Li Xu has started to try to pick up the musical instruments he had thrown away before, overall, the frequency is still not that high.

Especially recently, he has been focusing on practicing the harmonica, and rarely touches the large instruments in the practice room.

Li Xu walked in and came to the piano at home.

When I opened it, I saw that the keys had been wiped clean and there was no dust at all.

Li Xu touched the piano keys, recalling some things in his mind, and his expression became a little dazed.

After a while, he turned back to the bookshelf, found the music score that had been covered in dust for many years, and placed it on the piano stand.

Just played it casually.

This is a very basic etude, but because I haven't touched the piano for a long time, I keep playing it wrong and the rhythm is messed up.

Li Xu smiled silently...then stopped what he was doing.

Sighed slightly.

"I wonder if that guy still holds a grudge against me..."

His thoughts went back to many, many years ago, when he was still a good student and was learning piano with his teacher in the practice room.

"When we learn piano, it's not enough to just practice the hand movements..."

“What’s more important is to cultivate everyone’s sense of music.”

"hearing."

"Teacher doesn't want you to be just a heartless music translator in the future."

"The teacher hopes that when you hear a melody, you can immediately form its score in your mind."

“I also hope that when you see a piece of music composed of numbers, the sound of it will flow into your mind.”

"In the end, you should be musicians with rich imagination and creativity..."

"And this requires everyone to practice sight-singing and ear-training."

Li Xu recalled the scene where the sweet female teacher taught everyone to play the piano.

"Come on, get ready...sing!"

"Doremi Doremi Fasola..."

"Doremi Doremi Fasola..."

The teacher sings a line and the students follow along.

But at that moment, among a dozen clear, lark-like children's voices, a voice full of imagination jumped out from the sky.

Li Xu clearly remembered that the smile on the teacher's face froze at that moment, and he looked at the guy's face in a daze.

At that moment, the brains of others also went into a state of shutdown.

Then everyone's eyes turned to that guy.

After a brief silence, someone started a burst of laughter.

Li Xu was also laughing at that time, laughing wildly... He laughed the most wildly and loudly.

There's no way around it, it's mainly because that guy's amazing singing voice is so full of imagination.

You can't even describe him as ugly...

Pack up the memories.

Li Xu sighed slowly.

That's what happened.

That guy practiced piano with everyone for a year, but despite that, every time he started sight-singing, the others couldn't help but laugh.

When I was young, I didn’t understand anything and didn’t think it mattered.

The world is big, emotions are the biggest, just laugh if you want to.

In his previous life, Li Xu and that guy hadn't had much interaction since elementary school, except for a few occasional contacts later on.

My relationship with him in elementary school was actually not bad.

Because although Li Xu laughed at his bad singing, he was also one of the few people willing to play with him.

The main reason is that in addition to his bad singing, that guy is also a weirdo in the eyes of others.

All the children were practicing the piano, but he had a special interest in music theory.

It is extremely unreasonable for an elementary school student to be proficient in music theory.

Music theory...

How is it different from mathematics?

Can people who like math be normal?
No way.

If someone is incredibly good at math, then he is definitely not a normal person.

Every time he played with others, he would chatter endlessly about music theory.

Li Xu's music theory skills are pretty good now, all thanks to that guy.

Except for Li Xu, no one could listen to what he said about music theory.

Of course, the reason why Li Xu listened was not because he liked music theory. He simply thought that guy was funny and it made him happy. He found it interesting to see that guy lecturing like a little adult.

But who among his peers at that time could have imagined that the guy was a true genius?
Elementary school students had no idea about this kind of thing, and Li Xu only found out about it later.

That guy's talent in vocal music can be said to be negative. It is likely that when he added points, he put all his talent points into mathematics.

Compared to Xia Xiaomiao, that guy is very talented and has good conditions. He has been exposed to many high-quality educational resources since he was a child.

I have been involved in math competitions since junior high school.

Junior high school, ranked second in the province.

High school, first grade of junior high school.

Among all the people Li Xu has met, perhaps only Xia Xiaomiao's talent can compare with that guy.

Even Lei Yinbing can't do it... If he could, he should have been admitted by now.

Because if I remember correctly, that kid has now been admitted to a prestigious university.

At seventeen, an average person would still be in their second year of high school, right? But if he wanted, he could have gone to a top university and chosen any major.

Li Xu only contacted him a few times later.

The last time they had contact in the previous life was when that guy sent him an invitation to form a band.

In an unknown bar, the guy was shirtless, hysterical, and shaking his head in a very gimmicky way...

This is crazy... An academic giant is doing this?

And when he started singing, the crowd almost cursed at him.

The next algorithm engineer...

Li Xu thought about it and decided that if it was him... it would be great.

In terms of ability, Li Xu had no doubt that the boy was capable of doing the job.

Even Li Xu felt that it was a little too simple for him.

After all, that guy later became an algorithm expert that several leading Internet companies were vying for.

If he were to help me design the algorithm for this system, he would definitely be able to do it with ease.

The question now is, can I convince that guy to help me?

Their friendship still dates back to elementary school.

To be honest, even if we don't count the last life, we haven't been in touch with each other for several years in this life.

Moreover, Li Xu had a hunch that the guy might not have a very good impression of him.

He sings awfully, but he loves singing. Every time he sings, Li Xu laughs at him.

Sometimes he was so angry at being ridiculed that his eyes turned red and he wanted to fight with Li Xu... but he was no match for him and every time he fought back, Li Xu pushed him to the ground.

Thinking of those absurd scenes... Li Xu sighed again.

But there is no other way at the moment.

No matter whether it works or not, Li Xu has to give it a try.

He opened QQ and found the guy's avatar...unexpectedly, he was online at that moment.

"Are you there?"

An old-fashioned opening line was sent over so vividly.

What Li Xu didn't expect was that the other party replied immediately: "Yes."

"Can we meet?"

Li Xu quickly typed out this sentence, but hesitated for a moment, then deleted it all, and then typed a new line of words: "Are you still playing music?"

The other party shows that they are typing.

But no message came.

Li Xu leaned lightly on the chair and watched the scene with great interest.

This phenomenon is a good thing.

After a while, the other party replied with only one word: "Play."

Li Xu smiled slightly, then typed another paragraph on the computer: "Bring your musical instruments, and let's meet in the park?"

This time, the other party's typing screen only flashed for a moment before sending a message: "OK."

About half an hour later, Li Xu arrived at the park.

Li Xu chose a community near the guy's home, so when he arrived, the other party was already waiting for him in the park.

A thin boy with a hairstyle like the young Han Han, with his hair covering his eyes.

With such a hairstyle, even Li Xu believed that he was the first generation of spirited young man. Who the hell knew that he was actually a real academic genius?
His name is Ye Ruida.

Ye Ruida raised his eyes and looked at Li Xu.

I recognized him in the crowd almost immediately.

Then Ye Ruida frowned slightly, and then a swear word burst out.

"Where's your instrument?"

Li Xu was stunned when he saw the pile of equipment placed next to Ye Ruida.

A mobile speaker, effects pedal, electric guitar, microphone, stand and music stand...

Li Xu looked at this scene and reacted immediately...

Well, I thought the extent of this matter was too shallow.

Li Xu tremblingly took out the harmonica from his pocket and said unconfidently: "I brought it with me..."

Ye Ruida immediately rolled his eyes.

"Chili quack ...

……

The equipment was put aside and the two of them sat on a bench next to the park.

For the first time after his rebirth, Li Xu felt the pressure of dealing with others.

It’s not because the other party’s ability to deal with people is so great.

But this time, he was completely suppressed by the other party.

But things always have to move forward.

Li Xu pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly: "I didn't expect you to like music so much now..."

Ye Ruida snorted coldly, "You didn't ask me to come here to play music, let's talk about business."

Li Xu immediately became unhappy and said righteously, "How can you say that? Apart from this matter, do you and I have any other connection?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Ruida didn't buy his trick at all and sneered: "Give me the harmonica?"

"What's wrong with the harmonica? Isn't the harmonica a musical instrument? Why are you discriminating against musical instruments?"

"How come you've become so insincere now?"

"How can you be insincere? If I were insincere, why would I come to you?" Although Li Xu felt guilty when he said this, he would not admit defeat in terms of momentum.

Ye Ruida showed a disappointed expression and said slowly: "I was a little annoying when I was a child, but I was still sincere. If you don't tell the truth, then leave."

Li Xu looked at Ye Ruida silently.

Ye Ruida had an expression of indifference.

Li Xu finally gave in, sighed, and said, "Okay, I admit that I do have something I want to ask you for help with."

Ye Ruida scratched his ear, and then a piece of earwax the size of a fingernail popped out, shocking Li Xu so much that his eyes widened.

Ye Ruida said: "Tell me about it."

Li Xu calmed down from the shock of the giant earwax, gathered his thoughts, and then said seriously, "I'm currently working on a research project... and I'm still short of a backend algorithm engineer..."

Ye Ruida did not interrupt Li Xu and waited patiently for him to finish.

Li Xu spent about ten minutes briefly talking about his project.

When facing Ye Ruida, the method used by Li Xu was different from that used by Lei Yinbing and Xue Xue.

This time, he put himself in a lower position and invited her very sincerely.

Ye Ruida is an extremely intelligent person, and the most outrageous thing is that his intelligence is not entirely focused on studying.

This guy also has his own understanding of how to behave. Despite his young age, he already has a thorough understanding of many things. He absolutely cannot treat others like children just because he was reborn.

When dealing with Ye Ruida, honesty must come first!

However, after listening to Li Xu's narration, Ye Ruida did not show much interest.

"Are you done?"

"Think about it!"

Ye Ruida stood up and casually pointed out several key difficulties of this system.

"For the system you mentioned, there are basically no mature algorithms on the market that can be used as reference."

"Clustering algorithms have difficulty classifying complex electricity usage behaviors, and energy consumption prediction algorithms cannot cope with complex changes in scenarios if they do not consider all factors..."

“The design is very difficult.”

“And the algorithm must be continuously optimized to improve accuracy.”

Li Xu felt a little impressed. He didn't expect that in just a dozen minutes, Ye Ruida had keenly grasped the key difficulties.

Ye Ruida said, "You're really capable of coming up with such a system by having high school students develop it."

Li Xu thought for a moment and asked, "Can't a high school student... figure it out?"

Ye Ruida snorted and said, "Let alone a high school student, if you give this set of tasks to an ordinary undergraduate, he may not be able to solve it for you."

Li Xu blinked and fell silent for a moment.

But the next moment Ye Ruida changed the subject: "Of course, it's not a difficult thing for me."

Ye Ruida said this with great confidence, and Li Xu had no doubt about its authenticity.

"Uh-huh."

Li Xu nodded obediently.

Ye Ruida looked at Li Xu: "Then the question is, why should I help you?"

Li Xu was slightly delighted when he heard this, because if Ye Ruida really wanted to reject him, he would have rejected him directly. The fact that he said this actually showed that there was a way forward for this matter.

"Or... tell me."

Li Xu kicked the ball back to Ye Ruida.

Ye Ruida was silent for a while, then his expression became a little strange. He looked at Li Xu and said, "If you want me to help you, it's not impossible..."

"Ah."

"It depends on whether you are sincere."

Li Xu saw a playful smile on Ye Ruida's lips.

A bad feeling emerged in my heart.

"what do you want?"

Ye Ruida showed an impatient expression: "Why are you so nervous? Can I eat you? I just asked you to do a little thing..."

"As long as you agree to this condition, we can be equals, even if I suffer a little loss. You spend one time, and I will spend two for you."

Li Xu hesitated for a moment, then an idea suddenly came to his mind...

He subconsciously looked at the instrument next to him...

Noticing Li Xu's gaze, Ye Ruida smiled.

"That's pretty smart..."

Li Xu looked at the pile of musical instruments.

Ye Ruida crossed his arms over his chest and said with a smile, "Do you understand what I'm going to do?"

Li Xu nodded: "I understand..."

"Okay, do you agree?"

"I agree, of course I agree!"

Ye Ruida's face showed some surprise: "You actually agreed so readily? I'm really surprised."

Li Xu immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "Isn't it just that you want me to help you move all your things back? It's such a small matter, just give me the order!"

Ye Ruida immediately said in disgust: "Get out!"

……

What Ye Ruida wanted Li Xu to do was to form a band with him.

When returning from Ye Ruida's house, Li Xu couldn't help but sigh again.

What's going on?

You say that a math genius who can be called a genius doesn’t look at equations but at music scores.

Instead of studying calculus, I studied note syncopation.

What’s the difference between this and a chef who doesn’t read the recipe but instead looks at military tactics?
Li Xu still agreed reluctantly.

There is no other way. If Ye Ruida can join his team, then this project will be stable.

If this project can really achieve results, the significance it brings will go far beyond the project itself.

In addition to the training he and his friends can get, he can also catch the last train to enter university policy through scientific research competitions.

Of course, these are all things for the future... There is no need to think about so much for now.

Just do the things that are at hand.

Ye Ruida’s requirement is to practice for an hour every day in the park near their home.

Li Xu felt a headache when he thought of that scene.

You said you want to play in a band, so just play in a band... and he did it so professionally.

You say it's professional, then so be it, but he has to do it in public.

You said he did it in public, so let's do it... The key is, is his voice okay?
Yes, Ye Ruida also asked to be the lead singer.

And Li Xu...

Ye Ruida asked Li Xu to get a keyboard and be a keyboard player.

To be honest, Li Xu just wanted to curse.

Anyone who knows a little about a band knows that the most technically demanding person in a band is the keyboardist.

Although having a foundation in piano and music theory makes it a little easier to be a keyboardist...

But it definitely won’t take just one or two days to practice.

Ye Ruida didn't care... This bastard had already been admitted, so it didn't matter if he didn't go to class now. He had plenty of time to waste every day.

But Li Xu still has to study!
Ye Ruida seemed very reasonable about this. He said, "I can teach you how to study. Besides, didn't I tell you? If you spend an hour with me, I will give you two hours to spend on your research project."

"I'm giving you twice as much time as you do, and you're not happy with that? There's no such thing as a free lunch. Think about it carefully."

What could Li Xu say? Li Xu could only agree.

Thus began the time of shame.

The park suddenly became lively.

In the following time, Li Xu would ask Lao Liu to take him there on time every day... It wasn't too far, and it only took more than ten minutes to drive there.

After fiddling with the equipment for more than an hour, he asked Lao Liu to take him back.

I bought a powerful electronic keyboard... My dad saw it and casually asked, "Why did you start playing music lately?"

Li Xu was in a hurry to get out at the time and casually replied, "In order to get into a good university... I have to work hard."

Thinking about it later, Li Xu felt that his father must have misunderstood him because of his words that were neither here nor there.

Because after that, my dad hesitated several times before finally saying, "An art university? That's not impossible..."

Li Xu had indeed not played music for a long time.

It really wasn't possible, but fortunately the piece they practiced at the beginning wasn't that complicated, so Li Xu just played a few simple chords.

Ye Ruida was holding his electric guitar...

The sound of the broken gong echoed throughout the park.

There are benefits...

Later, several young people who played basketball came over to thank them.

They said that it was thanks to their singing that the aunties who had been occupying the basketball court and dancing square dance were driven away.

Li Xu quickly said, "If you want to thank someone for this, thank this brother!"

Ye Ruida hesitated for a moment, his expression complicated, as if happy and sad.

It takes up a lot of study time every day, but fortunately there is no need to worry about Li Xu’s math anymore.

On the one hand, I had already completed most of the courses in advance, and on the other hand, Ye Ruida would teach me something from time to time.

There is no need to say much about English. At this point, he can already score more than 120 points steadily. If he wants to make further breakthroughs, he must study grammar very hard. He can do this during the sprint before the exam.

As for physics, I also taught myself a lot because of my research topic.

The only subjects where I was relatively weak for one year were chemistry and biology.

These two courses will be taught in daytime classes and focused on learning.

In this way, there is no pressure in studying.

It is precisely because of this confidence that I have focused more on improving my musical level.

Adults' learning and comprehension abilities are much stronger when they are in high school, and the same is true for music.

Li Xu was a little reluctant at the beginning, but as the number of times increased, this reluctance gradually became fun.

Music can serve as an outlet for emotions.

All the stress disappears when playing music.

When Li Xu was touching the keyboard, he suddenly felt the pressure everywhere.

How can there be no pressure?
Stress comes from many sources.

He is a reborn...

If the regrets of the previous life are not made up for, the emotional torment will be more intense than any other emotion.

The time is peaceful and quiet now, and we can look at everything with a leisurely attitude and perspective.

But Li Xu will not forget what is waiting for him in the future.

Who is behind my father's death?

He never thinks about these things hidden deep in his heart on a daily basis.

But it doesn’t mean there isn’t one.

Only when I am playing music, emptying my mind and falling into a state of immersion, do those things that I don’t actively face pop up one by one...

But the more clearly I saw, the more pressure I felt relieved.

Li Xu's keyboard playing became more and more proficient.

A few weeks later.

Li Xu came to the park as usual.

Ye Ruida behaved a little abnormally.

Li Xu set up the keyboard and asked, "What's wrong? Let's start!"

Ye Ruida shook his head and said, "Let's switch today. You can sing."

Li Xu asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Ye Ruida smiled cheerfully.

“I’m having a lot of fun during this time.”

Ye Ruida sat down on the bench next to him.

"Thank you for playing with me like this."

Li Xu was silent for a moment and sat down next to Ye Ruida.

“I actually know that my singing is terrible.”

"Yeah." Li Xu did not refute.

“But I really like singing.”

Ye Ruida looked at Li Xu and said, "I believe that hard work pays off, and I also believe that interest is the best teacher. I am interested in singing and I am willing to spend time on it, so I will definitely succeed."

“But nothing has come of it.”

"I've been wanting to find someone to form a band with me for a long time."

“But there are usually only two outcomes… One is that they don’t let me be the lead singer, and then I refuse.”

"Another way is that they heard me sing, and then I said I wanted to be the lead singer, but they refused."

Li Xu was stunned and thought carefully about the difference between the two situations.

Ye Ruida continued, "I feel that it is the environment that limits me. If I were to become the lead singer in a group, I would definitely improve after practicing for a while."

"God rewards hard work..."

Ye Ruida smiled and then stood up. "Thank you, Li Xu."

“Thank you for fulfilling the dream I have been working hard on this road.”

"The facts also prove that not everything can be achieved through hard work... Especially when it comes to singing, it still depends on talent."

Li Xu comforted him: "Actually, you don't have to be so pessimistic..."

"At least the basketball players are grateful to you!"

Ye Ruida: “…”

Ye Ruida was in a good mood at this time. He stretched and then his expression became serious: "Okay, let's talk about business. I have also seen your efforts during this period."

"For that project, you endured the nausea and stayed with me for so long..."

Li Xu blinked his eyes: "Not really, not really..."

Ye Ruida said: "You may not be an excellent researcher, but you do have the qualities of an excellent team leader."

"You've persisted for me for so long, now it's my turn... Let me help you persist for a while."

Ye Ruida's eyes turned serious: "Tomorrow is the weekend, let me formally meet with the other members of your team!"
