20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3671 Wang Yu
The Netherlands uses UTC+1 time, which is seven hours behind UTC+8 time in China. It is currently a little after 1 p.m. in Amsterdam, which is a little after 6 a.m. in China.

Furthermore, since the Eastern Time Zone (UTC) is more advantageous in China due to the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, people in the eastern part of the country generally wake up slightly earlier than this time. Therefore, at this time, most office workers in the eastern part of the country have already gotten up.

Zhao Chang'an glanced at the hotel building not far away, walked along the sidewalk, and took out his phone to call Wang Yu.

Fudan University starts classes on the 16th day of the first lunar month. Today is the Lantern Festival, a traditional Chinese holiday, so she's probably still sleeping.

"Hey Zhao Chang'an, so early? I'm still sleeping~"

Wang Yu on the other end of the phone was a little impatient because, despite being a woman in her early thirties, her voice still carried a touch of girlish coquettish laziness.

This made Old Zhao's heart flutter slightly.

"Would you be interested in switching tracks, joining OneNano North America, and participating in investment negotiations with ASML?"

Zhao Chang'an didn't waste any words with this older female teacher who still didn't have a boyfriend, and went straight to the point.

"What, ASML?"

Wang Yu on the other end of the phone exclaimed in surprise, seemingly sitting up in bed; a very faint rustling sound of the blankets could be heard.

Zhao Chang'an wondered if Wang Yu slept in her pajamas or naked, but either way, it would be quite a sight.

This beautiful teacher caused quite a stir when she first arrived at Fudan University four years ago. The reason was that she was beautiful, highly educated, and a native of Mingzhu (a famous pearl in Taiwan). She had studied at Fudan University and was a well-known beauty student there.

In recent years, many talented young men have pursued her, but all of them have failed to win her over.

"Zhao Chang'an, I haven't even brushed my teeth yet, and you guys have already hooked up with ASML!"

Wang Yu's exclamation turned into shock: "When did you guys become fashionable?"

"What have you hooked up with? Who are you talking to on the phone so early?"

Wang Yu's mother pushed open the door and asked curiously.

"It's work-related, Mom, I'm calling."

Then Wang Yu asked, "Zhao Chang'an, you're getting more and more awesome."

"Aren't you cold with your clothes on?"

When Wang's mother heard the name Zhao Chang'an, she knew that her daughter was indeed talking about work.

Because of course she knew Zhao Chang'an; she had seen him in magazines and on television. He was a handsome young man, a charming young man, a strong man, and a killer for all types of women, from young girls to young women.

If someone like that were to date his daughter, it would be like the sun rising in the west.

So, with a look of disappointment, he reminded his daughter, closed the door, and left.

Hearing what the Queen Mother said, Zhao Chang'an guessed that Wang Yu was most likely sleeping naked, or at least that was the case with his upper body.

Thinking about how he was talking to her on the phone like this, a knowing smile crept onto his face. "I was going to ask you, 'Am I awesome?' But there's no need to ask that now."

Zhao Chang'an said something crude to Wang Yu that she couldn't understand, and asked with a smile, "Are you interested? I'm not asking you to resign. Teachers in microelectronics need to pursue further education regularly to bring more advanced concepts and technologies to the classroom. Although you've become an associate professor after four years, you've become detached from the front lines of research and application in the field of microelectronics. At most, you just read research journals and have a vague understanding. If this continues, you'll be misleading students."

Could you explain in more detail?

The temperature in Mingzhu in the morning was still around two or three degrees Celsius, and the indoor temperature was only eight or nine degrees Celsius. The Queen Mother closed the door, and the warm air from the air conditioner in the living room could not get in.

Wang Yu then felt a chill in her upper body. She was used to sleeping naked. She looked down and saw the trees standing proudly in the slightly chilly morning air. She quickly grabbed a blanket to cover herself.

"ASML's next step is to develop an EUV lithography machine. North America is preparing to invest in 1nm. I need professionals in this field to talk to them. In addition to you, I will also invite Su Bo and Nan Li to form a team. What do you think?"

Although Zhao Chang'an will not invite Xiao Yangming to join OneNanometer, his relationship with Wang Yu has always been good. During the negotiation process, some details need to be paid attention to, and it would be better for Wang Yu and Xiao Yangming to communicate privately.

Furthermore, Zhao Chang'an had always had a good impression of Wang Yu. He thought that this female associate professor had stayed at the university for a while, and whether it was to successfully become a professor in the future, to be included in the national outstanding special scientific research talent resource pool, or to better teach and educate students, it would not be a bad thing for her to go out and explore.

"Sure, but I need some time here, and I'm also teaching classes, so I can't just leave whenever I want. It's too much trouble."

"I just want to know your thoughts. Since you've agreed, write a study application today, and I'll coordinate the rest with you. After I contact Su Bo and the others to finalize things, I'll book tickets for you and see if there are any available today."

"You won't even let me enjoy the Lantern Festival in peace!"

Wang Yu was complaining, but her tone indicated that she was in a good mood.

Then Zhao Chang'an contacted Nan Li again.

“I’m definitely fine on my end, but I breached my contract when I went back to China and was sued by National Semiconductor. It will probably be very troublesome for me to go abroad.”

Huang Li, on the other hand, seemed unconcerned: "Today is the Lantern Festival, and I'm already annoyed by the firecrackers this morning. The New Year is really unsuitable for older, unmarried women; it's like I've committed some terrible crime. Nobody in my family is friendly, and relatives are constantly making sarcastic remarks. Even if I get into a prestigious university and study abroad, what good is money and ability? They're pressuring me to go on blind dates every day. My sister-in-law, on the other hand, hopes I won't find anyone so her son can inherit my estate. My nephew is only in the first year of junior high, and he absolutely refuses to go anymore. My sister-in-law actually has the audacity to want me to bring him to Jiangcheng! Seriously? I can barely take care of myself, how can I take care of him? She doesn't even want to take care of her own parents, and she's in such a hurry to inherit? Damn it, I really want to throw money at my brother to find another woman!"

Zhao Chang'an had already reached the hotel entrance. His ears were being bombarded by Huang Li's angry outburst. As a boss who cared about his subordinates, he had no choice but to listen patiently and occasionally chime in with appropriate words.

After finally getting her to finish venting her frustrations, Zhao Chang'an said, "I will personally cover the compensation between you and National Semiconductor and will contact them. Make preparations and see when you can come to Mingzhu as soon as possible. Currently, we plan for you, Su Bo, and Wang Yu to come as a group."

"You'll pay for it all by yourself?"

Huang Li said in surprise, "Our relationship doesn't seem to have reached that point yet. I can understand if the company pays for it and then buys out my career."

“I’m afraid that if I buy out your career, you might back out and leave China for the US, which would be a huge loss. At least even if you back out, you can stay in China and create value without having to run away.”

Zhao Chang'an's words were not unfounded. He actually found it hard to understand what Huang Li was thinking three years ago, that she would leave National Semiconductor without informing them before returning to China.

Fudan University originally intended to offer formal positions to these high-tech talents who returned to China. Huang Li's qualifications and technical skills were slightly lacking, but she would have been more than qualified to serve as a lecturer or associate professor.

A 27-year-old female associate professor at Fudan University is quite remarkable.

However, due to her dispute with National Semiconductor, Tang Wenxuan decided not to give these people formal positions, but only to employ them as temporary staff, in order to protect the school's reputation.
