Chapter 41: Wrong Door
The man nodded, seeming very satisfied with Zhou Ning's explanation.
"In fact, it is a bit troublesome to build a database by yourself, but the initial test data is a bit troublesome. However, as long as it is combined with the self-learning function of AI, then the input of these data will not be a problem. According to forensic doctor Zhou, it is only necessary to collect data for a certain period of time."
Zhou Ning didn’t understand this, he just saw this .
For him, today's scene was really unimaginable. He had only met the president of the university when taking group photos at graduation. Who would have thought that one day he would sit at a table with these people to discuss his plan.
Zhou Ning suppressed his excitement, calmed down and began to answer the questions from the rest of the people. In the meantime, Xu Dayuan came over. After all, so many people came at once, and he was also interested. However, after listening for a while, he left because of something and did not participate anymore.
It was not until it was completely dark outside the window that Liu Yongxin reminded:
"It's getting late, how about we have a quick meal first?"
Dr. Lu discussed it with Principal Liu, then he looked up apologetically and said:
"It's really too late today. Let's go back first and forget about eating today. But we still have to sign the letter of intent so that we can set up a project team when we go back. Once everything is ready, we can formally sign the cooperation agreement?"
Zhou Ning was stunned. Isn't this an inspection project?
What they just talked about was the data collection and development methods of this software. How they could go directly to signing a letter of intent was completely beyond his expectations . Liu Yongxin kicked Zhou Ning under the table, and Zhou Ning nodded passively.
"Oh, okay, I'll sign it."
While Zhou Ning was still confused, the letter of intent was signed. Dr. Lu and Dean Liu left with satisfaction. After seeing them off, Liu Yongxin looked at Zhou Ning with a smile on his face and his arms folded.
"Young people are young people, and you still need your master to check for you."
Zhou Ning looked at Liu Yongxin. He was flipping through the letter of intent and was a little confused about the ownership of the software.
"Master, I don't understand. Does this software no longer belong to me, or do I own the software from now on?"
Liu Yongxin came over and took a closer look.
"It's not like it says you own 20% of the software, and then you can sell it or promote it, minus any related expenses, and you'll get that."
Zhou Ning nodded seriously, put the letter of intent away, and wrapped the rope of the file bag a few times.
"It means I don't have to pay, and then I can still give you money, right?"
Liu Yongxin: …
Zhou Ning's reaction made Liu Yongxin not know what to say for a moment.
This kid cares about money. Just like the last time he received the royalties, he did not get complacent about being published in a well-known magazine. He was just concerned about whether he needed to pay. It seems that this kid has had a hard life since he was a child.
"Don't think about it. Pack up and go home quickly. There are a lot of things to do later. You still need to write a detailed plan for the development of several parts. If this software is really successful, you will gain both fame and fortune. Why are you still worrying about money? Really, you didn't even think about treating your master to a good meal."
Zhou Ning felt a little embarrassed, but his grandfather and second uncle had been supporting him since he was young, so he tried his best to solve the problems on his own if he could avoid asking for money from his family. Although he was not very good at studying, he did a lot of part-time jobs.
That's why he developed such a stingy habit, but it did make Liu Yongxin worried today. He just felt proud to see his apprentice making progress. It's really not easy to meet a master who can support the younger generation like this.
"Come on, Master. I'll treat you to a meal. You can pick any food stall on Qindao Road."
Liu Yongxin rolled his eyes and shook his head. After a long while, he finally said a food stall. This was probably the most generous thing Zhou Ning had ever done.
"Forget it, I'm going home to eat, otherwise I'll have to ask my wife for leave. My blood pressure hasn't been well controlled these days, so I've been eating a vegetarian diet."
After saying that, Liu Yongxin drove away in his newly bought Alto.
Zhou Ning held the file bag and walked quickly towards home. On the way, he called his grandfather. Probably because he had watched the news, the old man showed some concern and of course said he would introduce him to a girl during the Spring Festival . Zhou Ning did not say no this time. After comforting the old man, Zhou Ning had already returned home.
I cooked a bowl of clear soup noodles for myself, which contained two wontons, a handful of coriander and chopped green onions, and a poached egg. I sprinkled it with pepper and seafood soy sauce, and finally added a few drops of sesame oil. I ate it while it was hot.
After taking a shower, Zhou Ning did not rush to bed today. Instead, he turned on the computer and created a new document. He had read the portrait restoration technology he had obtained in the system countless times. As he kept typing, every idea came to his mind on the keyboard.
…
Zhou Ning was busy like this for the next half month.
The team received two tasks related to traffic accident responsibility determination. Whether it was going to the scene or preparing the subsequent responsibility determination report, Liu Yongxin did not let Zhou Ning go, but took care of it himself.
Xu Dayuan reported Zhou Ning's case to the branch, and the branch leaders attached great importance to it. After all, if this matter was successful, it would be a great honor for the bureau, so they were naturally very supportive. However, the only support they could give was to replace the old and worn-out computers in the forensic room.
Zhou Ning was not dissatisfied, after all, this was to support his work.
Today is the last day of 2010. Early in the morning, he received a call from Dr. Lu, asking him to go to Qindao University to formally sign the contract.
Zhou Ning didn't prepare anything. He said hello to Xu Da and Liu Yongxin, and took the bus to Qindao University. Dr. Lu had mailed him a work badge in advance. Zhou Ning put on the badge in front of the door and went directly to the guard to register.
After completing the registration, he walked towards a college under the guidance of the security guard. When he was almost in front of the gate, a speeding car passed by Zhou Ning's side, and Zhou Ning's backpack was hit and fell off.
Zhou Ning frowned. There were actually people driving cars and crashing into other people on campus like this. He didn't know who they were.
Zhou Ning brushed off the dust on his backpack, picked it up and walked to the office building of the college. The car was also parked here. Two people got out of the car. They were in suits and leather shoes, but not wearing coats in such weather. They walked up the stairs at the same time, carrying computer bags.
As if noticing Zhou Ning's gaze, the two men looked over and the older man waved at Zhou Ning.
"Classmate, is this the office building of the School of Computer Science?"
Zhou Ning was full of question marks. Is this guy stupid? How could he not see the huge sign at the door?
Or were you so focused on speeding that you didn't even look at where you were?
However, being called classmate when going out at least shows that he still looks young. He nodded slightly and said "hmm", then walked up the stairs.
The two people behind had frowned brows, and the older one looked dissatisfied.
"Why are young people nowadays so rude?"
A younger man with a smiling face.
"That's right, Director Peng, let's go up first. The signing ceremony will start in ten minutes."
The two of them didn't waste any more time and followed Zhou Ning into the office building. Zhou Ning went directly to the conference room on the second floor according to the room number provided in the text message.
The door of the conference room was not closed. On the east side, there was a row of cameras and video cameras. There were dozens of people wearing vests and holding microphones, and they seemed to be debugging the equipment. On the west side were three rows of tables and chairs with people's names on the backs of the chairs.
On the westernmost platform, there is a table with two chairs behind it, and of course there is a podium on the side.
Zhou Ning was frightened by this scene. What was this for?
Why does it look like a press conference, the kind of ceremony held after international cooperation or investment attraction?
After a quick look around, I didn't see any familiar figures, neither Dr. Lu nor Dean Liu were there.
Zhou Ning subconsciously took a step back and looked at the number on the door of the conference room. It was room 230, right?
While he was in a daze, the two men in suits and leather shoes came over. The younger one bumped into Zhou Ning and raised his hand to drive them away rudely:
"Get out of the way. Don't block the road. Where are you following me in?"
The man showed no disdain on his face. Zhou Ning was pushed and bumped into an open door with a bang. Everyone looked over and Zhou Ning's backpack fell to the ground again.
The first time he was hit by a car, he endured it. He could have ignored the mutterings behind him when asking for directions at the door, but such an attitude and bullying behavior made Zhou Ning angry. Just as he was about to speak, someone ran up behind him and his voice was heard before the person arrived.
"Xiao Zhou, you're here. I asked my assistant to pick you up at the school gate, but I didn't see you. I guess you didn't go through the south gate?"
Zhou Ning suppressed his anger and looked at Dr. Lu who was speaking.
"Well, I got off at the station and came in directly from the east gate."
At this time, Vice President Liu also walked over, bent down to help Zhou Ning pick up the backpack, and patted Zhou Ning on the shoulder.
"Xiao Zhou, forensic doctor, please come in. We were in a hurry and didn't tell you in advance. We just received a notice from the city to hold a press release for this contract signing. Don't worry, in order not to affect your future work, I will tell the comrades at the TV station to try not to give you close-up shots. I hope you can understand!"
Such an attitude stunned the two men in suits. The hands they extended to Dean Liu and Dr. Lu were ignored and they stood there awkwardly.
Zhou Ning suddenly felt better and smiled at Dean Liu and Dr. Lu.
"I am young and don't understand these things. I will do whatever you want with me!"
