Top Student: Experience Infinite Occupations

63 Arrival, Meetup

Two thirty p.m. the following afternoon, in the conference room of the Data Center Hotel.

Li Chengqian and the others walked in with their luggage.

Bi Jialiang welcomed Jian Qingli with a warm smile and took over her suitcase.

He Hongyun was still flipping through the ’30-day Homemade Operating System’ book. He had been reading this book for a month and was still at the first chapter, even then, he could only understand a small portion of the chapter.

Despite this, he felt that he had benefited immensely. Chapter one gave him a certain understanding of the assembly language and also gave him a preliminary understanding of a computer’s startup process.

When Li Chengqian and the others came in, he snorted coldly because he bore a grudge with Li Chengqian. He couldn’t be bothered to look at Li Chengqian and the others, so he didn’t even raise his head.

Teacher Tian Wenming waved at Li Chengqian and the others. “Come, sit down and rest for a while.”

“Teacher, didn’t you say that we were going to get the competition pass directly?” Zhao Peng wiped his sweat and said while panting.

“We’ll wait a while for Dr. He. He told me that he’ll be here in half an hour.” Tian Wenming raised his hand and glanced at his watch. “Dr. He is one of the judges for this Junior Informatics Programming Competition. It’ll be good for you to have him meet you and get to know each other.”

It was naturally impossible to play favoritism and cheat, but when it came to the segment where Dr. He was doing the marking, no one would say anything if he gave one or two extra points.

“Alright.” Zhao Peng sat down reluctantly. His luggage was very heavy, and he was exhausted from the journey. He only wanted to get his competition pass as soon as possible and return to the hotel to sleep.

He wasn’t bothered about Dr. He at all.

With Li Chengqian around, there was no need to worry about any judges.

There was no need to get familiar with him at all.

Li Chengqian and Ding Ling also sat down. After chatting and laughing for a while, Li Chengqian took out a heavy book titled ‘Introduction to Integrated Circuits’ from his luggage.

He had already done the online research this morning after he woke up. In the real world, there wasn’t any functioning brainwave receiver.

All the currently available brainwave receivers required the skull to be cut open and electrodes to be planted.

A brainwave receiver that could be used outside the body had not been developed at the moment.

Li Chengqian didn’t want to blow his own brains out, so he was prepared to develop a brainwave receiver himself.

Integrated circuits were key to the development of a brain wave receiver.

Integrated circuits were needed for a number of processes, including processing collected brainwaves, releasing brainwave signals, and removing unwanted brainwaves.

Moreover, integrated circuits and software technology both belong to the information technology domain. They were two sides of the same coin. Learning integrated circuits would also complement his knowledge of software technology.

Moreover, Li Chengqian was also very interested in integrated circuits.

What is an integrated circuit?

The processor, memory, storage, 5G chip of a phone, the graphics card for mining, and other high-end things were all integrated circuits.

Most of them couldn’t be produced in the country.

Even design was at least 10 years behind foreign countries in most fields.

This was why Li Chengqian was interested in integrated circuits.

At this moment, Zhao Peng who was reclining lazily beside Li Chengqian, said impatiently, “Sigh, I’m too tired. I really want to sleep.”

He Hongyun, who was reading, immediately took offense. He felt that Zhao Peng’s attitude was clearly disrespectful to his father.

“Every single person in Li Chengqian’s group is annoying. Li Chengqian is annoying, and so is Zhao Peng.”

“After they are eliminated from this round, I must teach them a good lesson and make them regret their attitude.” He had already prepared a script. After the results have been released, he would tell Li Chengqian and the others about how He Jingguo was the one who set the scope of the exam.

This way, Li Chengqian and the others would definitely regret not participating in He Jingguo’s training.

This was the only way to vent his anger.

He had specifically instructed He Biliang not to leak a single word on the key points that He Jingguo had pointed out.

Since he chose to take leave and not attend this training, he had to bear the consequences.

Then, he saw the book Li Chengqian was reading, ‘Introduction to Integrated Circuits’. He sneered. “The competition is about to start, and he still wants to read unrelated books. Li Chengqian is simply crazy.”

“Moreover, the speed at which he flipped through the book is so fast. It doesn’t look like he’s reading at all. He’s simply flipping through the book.” Li Chengqian read very quickly. Although he couldn’t reach the speed that he read at when the Focus skill was activated, he could still read three to four pages in a minute.

He Jingguo walked into the conference room with a flushed face an hour later.

“Tian Wenming, I’m really sorry. I was asked by the provincial office to test the data restoration software again. It’s a provincial level purchase this time. This contract is worth more than 20 million yuan. This is a big amount, thus they are very careful and want to review all the details and parameters of the software.” He Jingguo appeared to be explaining, but he was actually showing off. His tone was smug.

“He Jingguo, you’ve come to this stage already? Has the provincial office already decided to use your Jingguo Data Restoration software?” Tian Wenming had always kept a straight face, and he was known as poker face in Tianyi High School. But when he heard the amount, envy could be seen on his face.

“It hasn’t been decided yet, but it should be done within the next few days.” He Jingguo’s face was filled with pride, and he couldn’t hide his smile at all.

When He Hongyun heard his father’s words and saw the envy and jealousy in the eyes of the others, he was extremely proud.

He looked at Li Chengqian with a smile. Then, he realized that Li Chengqian was still reading with his head lowered. His face was calm and focused, as if he had not heard what He Jingguo said at all.

“Sure, you keep on pretending!” He Hongyun was a little dissatisfied when he didn’t see Li Chengqian’s envious gaze.

“He Jingguo, congratulations!” Tian Wenming was especially envious and congratulated him. The money He Jingguo was going to earn from this order was more than what he would ever earn in his lifetime.

“Let’s have a meal together when the deal is done.” He Jingguo didn’t pretend to be humble this time. He was all smiles.

“Tian Wenming, let’s not talk about anything else for now. Let’s get down to business first.” He Jingguo changed the topic and looked at Li Chengqian and the others.

“Tian Wenming, who are these students?”

“Li Chengqian, Zhao Peng, Ding Ling, and Jian Qingli. Li Chengqian, this is Professor He.” Tian Wenming quickly started introducing them.

He Jingguo nodded and said to Li Chengqian with a smile, “Li Chengqian, I heard that you are very good in programming theory.”

“Do your best in this competition and strive to enter the finals.”

He Jingguo also saw the book ‘Introduction to Integrated Circuits’ in Li Chengqian’s hand. He shook his head. He knew this book. It was a postgraduate course in integrated circuit design.

This book was equivalent to three years of postgraduate courses!

...

One could imagine how difficult it was.

Even if he wanted to learn integrated circuits, he should start with the most basic analog circuits and digital circuits. It was a joke to jump directly to integrate circuits.

“He’s clearly studying software technology, but he’s reading books related to integrated circuits. He is not focused, it will be hard for him to achieve anything.” He Jingguo judged Li Chengqian in his heart.

Then, He Jingguo’s gaze moved away from Li Chengqian and looked at Tian Wenming. “Tian Wenming, since everyone is here, take them to get their competition passes. I still have something to do at the provincial office, so I’ll make a move first.”
