This author has traveled through time and space in a book!

The choice between students and tutors is a two-way one, and Zhou Ran did come a little late.

Just as she was wandering at the door of the Institute of General Artificial Intelligence, a shout came from behind her.

Zhou Ran turned around and saw that he looked familiar: "Squad leader?"

The person who came was none other than her class monitor during her undergraduate years. She had secured a place in graduate school very early on, and was doing research under a well-known expert mentor in the field of artificial intelligence. She entered the laboratory in her sophomore year.

"Zhou Ran, it really is you! I thought I had the wrong person!" Mei Jingxing smiled gently and said, "Why are you back to school? Are you here to participate in some event?"

Mei Jingxing knew that Zhou Ran was quite successful in his entrepreneurship, so the school would invite these successful people back to participate in some activities.

"No, I came back for graduate studies." Zhou Ran knew that Mei Jingxing had misunderstood and shook his head.

"Graduate school?" Mei Jingxing showed a hint of surprise. If Zhou Ran wanted to study for a graduate degree and get a decent degree, an MBA would be fine, but this was the Institute of General Artificial Intelligence, and she...

"Are you studying this major? Who is your tutor?" Mei Jingxing quickly confirmed his thoughts and seemed a little enthusiastic.

"Well, artificial intelligence, but I haven't chosen a tutor yet. I came to school today to try my luck." Zhou Ran didn't feel embarrassed and explained his previous negligence.

"So, does the squad leader have any recommendations?" In my impression, Mei Jingxing is quite helpful.

"This..." Mei Jingxing's face suddenly became heavy. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but...

"My mentor has sacrificed his life." Mei Jingxing said softly.

As I recall, Mei Jingxing’s mentor was very young, less than ten years older than them. How could he have died?

And, sacrifice!

In peacetime, the word "sacrifice" was used to describe an expert scholar at the forefront of science and technology. Zhou Ran's pupils dilated and his eyes turned red in an instant.

"Professor Zhu passed away at the end of last year." Half a year later, Mei Jingxing still hadn't found another mentor, so he couldn't help introduce a mentor to Zhou Ran.

"I'm sorry, I don't know." At the end of last year, Zhou Ran was busy preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination and was unable to pay attention to the relevant news.

"What do you have to apologize for? Let me take you to the institute and you can take a look at the professors there. Would you like to recommend yourself? If necessary, I can introduce you." Mei Jingxing shook his head. It had been nearly half a year since the incident and he had calmed down.

I just want to continue my mentor's research to comfort his spirit in heaven.

"Thank you. I'd better not go in today. Maybe next time." Zhou Ran forced a smile. She had an impulse in her heart that she couldn't suppress. At this moment, she didn't want to choose a mentor for herself.

"That's fine. You have my contact information. If you need anything, just contact me." Mei Jingxing did not force him. They were just classmates.

After saying goodbye to Mei Jingxing, Zhou Ran called out Yan Yan. She wanted to know more details about Professor Zhu's incident.

"According to the official report, Professor Zhu died in a car accident, but the word used was 'sacrifice.'" Yan Yan quickly screened the public information on the Internet and reported to Zhou Ran.

"Who did it?"

"..." Yanyan was silent. Some things were not suitable to be talked about. Even its light brain knew them all.

"What is Professor Zhu's research direction?" Zhou Ran changed the subject and asked.

"Artificial intelligence chip." This is public information, and Yanyan doesn't need to hide it.

"Okay, I'll choose this direction. Does any tutor recommend it?" Anyway, I have to study it, so it doesn't matter which one I choose, but now Zhou Ran has something to worry about.

Perhaps it is because the small worlds are all derived from the real world, and often the problems they face are also the same, such as the blocked "chip" field.

But "sacrifice" is too much.

Science has no borders, but scientists do.

With Yan Yan, who is like a "plug-in", and the cash cow of the Internet company, Zhou Ran...she wants to give the world a "surprise".

"Professor Zhu is the strongest expert in the field of artificial intelligence chips at Jingcheng University, and now... your classmate Mei Jingxing is the next leader, but he hasn't grown up yet and is still a doctoral student."

You can't let a doctoral student be a master's supervisor, right?

"...I understand." Zhou Ran turned around and contacted his own father, Zhou.

"father!"

"What's the matter?" Calling him like that must mean you have something to ask of him. Is he here to cheat you out of money again?

"Can't I just call you if there's nothing wrong, Dad? I got admitted to Peking University as a graduate student. Are you going to give me a reward?" Zhou Ran was not polite at all. After all, Old Zhou was her father. What belonged to him was hers. There was no need to be polite.

"...You just remembered to tell me about this?" Old Zhou couldn't help complaining, but the child had made him proud after all, so he had to encourage him.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

“I want a building.”

"What?" Old Zhou exclaimed. That damn girl's appetite was growing. He only had one headquarters building in Beijing...

"Dad, listen to my explanation. This is what happened..."

Zhou Ran plans to donate a building to Peking University in exchange for free research at the Institute of General Artificial Intelligence.

Well, a mentor is still needed, a nominal one will do, and she thinks the dean is a good fit. As for the project, she has already planned to work with Mei Jingxing.

Mei Jingxing is having a hard time now as she has lost her mentor. But she doesn't actually need a mentor in the true sense. She has Yanyan and the entire interstellar technology behind her.

As for donating the building, Zhou Ran was admitted as a graduate student based on her own ability, so she only had a small request: she should set up the laboratory by herself, and pay for all the machinery and equipment by herself. That's fine, why not?

It is naturally the responsibility of parents to educate their children.

So, just as Zhou Ran donated 100 million yuan to the hospital where Dr. Zhou worked, Lao Zhou donated 100 million yuan to Peking University, specifically to the Institute of General Artificial Intelligence.

Old Zhou has only one request, which is that his daughter should have her own decision on her research project.

Is it that simple?

Didn’t his daughter get into Kyoto University?

Yes, he passed the exam, and he was admitted with the first place in his major this year. As for the second place in the preliminary exam... it can be ignored. It didn't affect him and he was admitted based on his own strength.

With this move, Lao Zhou not only completed the "task" assigned by his daughter, but also accidentally stepped on another family that he was building relationships with.

Who is it? The Yu family!

Yu Xueqi's sister didn't pass the exam, so she has been trying to get a spot for her by asking for connections.

Unfortunately, the people who do the work are Yu Xueqi's mother, who was a first-generation internet celebrity, and her sister who failed the college entrance examination. So when they do things, they are more or less petty.

Expecting tens or even hundreds of millions to convince professors to accept this student?

When there was no comparison, no one would agree, but now the rich man Lao Zhou appears.

"Look at Mr. Zhou's courage. His daughter passed the exam based on her own ability, and yet he donated 100 million! Humph!" This is the middleman who helped with the operation, and he is coming clean!
