After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 271 Xu Lin's National Day Arrangements and Trip to Beijing, Another Father-in-Law of Xu Lin

Xu Lin had a full afternoon of classes.

"Xu Lin, National Day holiday starts on Friday, are you free?"

Before we know it, National Day is almost here again.

When Rong Xiyan returned from the restroom, the first thing she asked Xu Lin about this was.

"have it."

Xu Lin decided to take a break during the National Day holiday, spend time with the girls around him, and relax a bit.

Rong Xiyan has been complaining a lot lately about how Xu Lin doesn't have time to spend with her.

In fact, Xiao Rong is bored out of her mind every day. Apart from going to class and going out with Xia Xiyao, she spends the rest of her time at home.

When Xu Lin or Xia Xiyao weren't around, she was a homebody.

Moreover, recently Rong Xiyan suddenly got the urge to learn to draw for some reason, and even bought online courses. She spends her free time at home learning to draw. Xu Lin looked at the photos she took, and it seems that she is quite good at it. It can be seen that she has some talent.

But not much.

And maybe after a while she'll get bored; she only has a short attention span for many things.

Recently, Rong Xiyan told Xu Lin that she wanted to practice yoga.

Xu Lin told her to practice at home and not to enroll in offline classes.

Actually, the yoga community is also a mess.

That's just how the world is. Wherever people gather, chaos is inevitable because all sorts of people will be there, both good and bad.

Rong Xiyan ordered a yoga mat and plans to start practicing as soon as it arrives.

"Then you have to come with me during the National Day holiday, I want to go on a trip!"

"I can't possibly give it to you for seven days, at most three days."

Xu Lin thought about how he needed to allocate his time.

"Then let's go on a three-day trip together. You, Yao Yao, and I will go on a trip together."

"also."

Is Xia Xiyao's day alone going to be wasted? Xu Lin will have to spend three more days with the two of them.

Xu Lin thought of this.

"Then let's leave Thursday night!"

"Ok."

Xu Lin: "To be honest, if you go traveling during the National Day holiday, everywhere will be packed with people."

"But we don't usually have time, so we only get a short holiday during the National Day holiday, and it's not that hot in October."

"alright."

Xu Lin thought about it and realized that made sense. He could come to class very casually now, but Rong Xiyan was different; she still had to go to class.

It is worth mentioning that although Xu Lin did not attend classes frequently during his first two semesters of university, especially in the first semester when he was almost never seen, he still achieved the highest GPA in his major.

Based on his GPA, Xu Lin is eligible for the National Scholarship.

Moreover, the scholarship evaluation is also being conducted this month, and the official results will be released in October.

A few days ago, his counselor asked him if he could recommend him for the national scholarship.

But Xu Lin refused.

First, the national scholarship is only 10,000 yuan (starting in 2024, it will be 10,000 yuan for both undergraduate and associate degree programs). It's no exaggeration to say that Xu Lin sometimes loses that amount to just one meal.

Secondly, he often skips classes, and you've already taken a spot, which is a bit unreasonable. As for getting a perfect GPA, that's another matter. If you don't go to class and often skip classes, there will always be people who are unhappy.

Xu Lin now enjoys special privileges at school.

Third, let's leave it for someone who needs it. The national scholarship is a recognition of outstanding students and can be included on their resumes in the future. Xu Lin doesn't need to find a job or be selected as a civil servant, so let's leave this spot for someone else.

Speaking of Xu Lin's class, since everyone was a top student from their respective high schools, the vast majority of them were very hardworking and self-disciplined, especially those from ordinary families, who were also trying their best to change their own and their families' fate.

For example, Ning Yuhan won the national scholarship again in her sophomore year.

Rong Xiyan then said, "Xu Lin, I want to go to Jinling for fun!"

"Then let's go to Jinling!"

"Ok, deal!"

Class started soon.

Rong Xiyan was also a very diligent student. She would listen attentively in class and take careful notes. Moreover, because Xu Lin did not take notes in class, Rong Xiyan would even help Xu Lin take notes.

In fact, Xu Lin had memorized it all.

About ten minutes after class started.

Yu Xinyan has news.

"Xu Lin, are you free during the National Day holiday?"

Xu Lin hadn't seen Yu Xinyan for a long time; they usually chatted on WeChat.

"Yes, but I'll be free on the 4th."

"Hmph! The 4th happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Lin, let's celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together then!"

Is the 4th the Mid-Autumn Festival?
Xu Lin had no idea until he checked the calendar and saw that the 4th was indeed the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Then let's celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together."

"By the way, Xu Lin."

Yu Xinyan: "My mom is coming here for National Day too. She's on holiday, so we'll celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival together!"

"Where's your dad?"

"My dad doesn't have time, he's quite busy."

Come to think of it, Yu Jianhua is such a busy man, he wouldn't normally travel this far unless he had to go back for a meeting halfway there.

Xu Lin: "I'll drive you guys around then."

"OK!"

Meanwhile, Yu Xinyan began to look forward to National Day and told Lin Yajing about it.

Lin Yajing has been here for seven days.

After her daughter went to university, she rarely saw her daughter anymore.

If Yu Xinyan continues to develop her career here in the future, it will be even harder to see her.

Unless her daughter gets married in the future, she, as the mother, will take early retirement to help take care of the child.

Otherwise, the only way for him to see his daughter is through video calls.

So Lin Yajing took advantage of the National Day holiday and decided to come and stay for a few days.

The day ended quickly.

That evening, Xu Lin returned to his rented room by himself.

This time, Xu Lin finally started to pay attention to his new paper.

Domestically, the internet is now dominated by discussions about Xu Lin's new paper.

Like mainstream traffic platforms, such as Douyin.

Bloggers with over a million followers are basically all saying this, regardless of whether they are entertainment bloggers or current affairs bloggers, it seems like they all want to ride the wave of popularity. In addition, those marketing accounts are even more outrageous, flooding the internet with their posts.

Furthermore, the sentiment surrounding this information is both optimistic and pessimistic.

The optimistic ones feel that great achievements have occurred in their own country, and people are very excited.

The pessimistic view is that with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, a large number of people may be rendered obsolete in the future.

It's all old news.

In short, these are basically the two main types of information.

"Now is not the time to show up."

If you were a normal person, you wouldn't be able to resist anymore and would definitely rush out to enjoy the boundless scenery.

Xu Lin remained low-key, deciding he needed to continue developing his character stealthily for a while longer.

Since the results of these papers are only incidental and not Xu Lin's ultimate goal, revealing them in advance would not bring him much benefit.

Simply put, we don't have enough chips.

When his artificial intelligence comes out.

So, his status, whether as a top academician or a most successful entrepreneur, is undeniable.

He can be on equal footing with them.

But now, Xu Lin cannot.

To put it bluntly, if this achievement were given to someone else, they would only be able to work for that person.

If Xu Lincheng succeeds, his status may rise to the level of national strategy.

At this moment, Xu Lin turned on his computer.

The two older sisters sent him quite a few messages, and Xu Lin replied to them one by one.

But Xu Lin only said two words: "Stay calm."

"Oh, my dear husband, why are you so calm?"

Chi Linyue replied to the message.

Xu Lin: "Threshold."

"Threshold?"

"This matter at present has not yet reached the threshold of making me excited to the point of going crazy, so I'll stay calm."

"Wow, that's impressive! People who've seen it all are really something else!"

Chi Linyue asked him a question unrelated to the main topic: "Are you free during the National Day holiday?"

"Yes, but we'll have to wait until the 5th."

"Then I'll need two days?"

"Two days is fine too."

"You're such a busy person, it's not easy to see you these days!"

"Actually, I want to go on a trip. I haven't had a proper trip in years. I don't know if two days will be enough."

Chi Linyue's voice message was filled with a sighing and resentful tone.

"How about three days? I'll add one more day for you."

"Pfft! It's settled then, three days!"

Xu Lin felt that Chi Linyue was sighing on purpose, and now she had achieved her goal.

"Where should I go for travel? It's crowded everywhere during the National Day holiday."

"You don't have time unless it's National Day."

Chi Linyue: "Let's go to Jinling. It's quite close. Traffic jams are common during holidays, so we'll take the high-speed rail."

Why is it also Jinling?

Xiao Rong and her friend wanted to go to Nanjing.

But Xu Lin thought about it and realized that Jinling had many attractions and was quite close to Jiangdu, so he decided to go to Jinling instead.

"Then let's go to Jinling."

"Then it's a deal!"

"Don't worry, I'm not lying to you."

Pei Danqing also received the news, and Xu Lin switched to her side.

Pei Danqing also asked, "Are you free during the National Day holiday?"

Hey?
My National Day holiday was packed with activities: the first three days with Rong Xiyan and Xia Xiyao, the middle day with Yu Xinyan, and the last three days with Chi Linyue.

Where would we find the time during the seven-day National Day holiday?

However, Xu Lin's main point is that everyone should have a share.

"I'll be free after National Day, which is after the 7th."

"How many days are you free?"

"Three days."

Xu Lin suddenly missed Pei Danqing. Pei Danqing was a bit plump, and the experience was top-notch.

"Oh!"

"Three days should be enough."

Pei Danqing said, "Actually, I haven't traveled in a long time. How about we go on a trip together?"

How to deepen your relationship with your partner?
A: Let's try traveling together.

So Pei Danqing thought of traveling.

But Xu Lin thought to himself, why is it tourism again?

Xu Lin thought about it and decided not to refuse her. He always had to spend some time with the women around him.

Where to travel?

"How about we go to Jinling? There are many attractions there, so we can explore them properly. Plus, it's close to Jiangdu."

?

Why is it Nanjing again?

Are these women deliberately targeting Nanjing?
In fact, Nanjing is indeed one of the most worthwhile cities to visit in China, and it could even rank in the top ten.

There are so many famous tourist attractions in Nanjing.

But Xu Lin really didn't want to go to Jinling, because he would be staying in Jinling for six days during the National Day holiday.

Xu Lin: "Going to Jinling is pointless."

Pei Danqing: "Then where shall we go?"

Xu Lin thought for a moment.

"We can go to a quiet place, like Dali. We can rent a guesthouse in the mountains. Imagine how refreshing that beautiful environment would be! Nanjing is a major tourist city, and there are always crowds of tourists there. It seems like we're just going through the motions, visiting various attractions in Nanjing, maybe taking some photos, and then getting hungry along the way. We end up getting ripped off at the tourist spots, eating terrible and overpriced food. What's the point of that?"

"That's true, then I'll go to Dali!"

Pei Danqing was also tempted.

She especially liked peace and quiet, and Xu Lin's suggestion to rent a guesthouse in the mountains really appealed to her.

Xu Lin: "Wait for me at Jiangdu Airport on the evening of the 7th."

Xu Lin planned to fly to Dali as soon as he and his older sister returned. But flying didn't necessarily mean a long and tiring journey.

If you have money, you can fly first class. Tickets can cost tens of thousands of yuan, and for international routes, they can start at over a hundred thousand yuan.

It's a suite with a comfortable double bed. You can sleep soundly and wake up at your destination.

Poverty truly limits imagination.

Pei Danqing: "What do I need to prepare?"

"Just grab a few clothes, like what you'd wear outside. Short-sleeved shirts and sweatpants would be best. It's quite hot there this time of year, and lighter clothes are easier to carry. In short, keep it simple and don't bring a bunch of random things."

"This kind will do, women's sweatpants."

Xu Lin sent her a link to an online shopping site.

For the next half hour or so, Xu Lin chatted with the two older sisters, Chi Linyue and Pei Danqing, switching back and forth between them.

Xu Lin actually wanted to add the two of them to a group chat.

Xu Lin even wanted to travel with them and have fun together; the thought alone made his heart flutter.

But Xu Lin knew it would explode.

After the chat ended, Xu Lin ordered takeout.

Ten p.m.

Xu Lin logged into his Weibo account.

Young Master Xu.

The time to make money has come!
Now that Young Master Xu is riding high, Xu Lin doesn't believe no one will ask him for work.

However, Xu Lin only accepts orders, not long-term commitments.

New Weibo post: To begin, I don't work for anyone personally, but I do accept freelance work. For example, if you want me to fix some system problems, I can do it. My skills speak for themselves: a top global AI expert, the number one hacker in the world, and a world-class programming master! I'm now accepting freelance work, and this offer is valid indefinitely!
Chinese citizens can enjoy a huge discount as fellow countrymen, with a single service costing only 50 million RMB. Foreigners, on the other hand, pay 20 million USD per service. Furthermore, I am proficient in all programming languages ​​and am virtually omnipotent in the online world. If you want to question me, you must first be more capable than me, otherwise, don't jump out and start spouting nonsense.

"Young Master Xu is still arrogant, but damn, he's got personality! I like it!"

"If I had even a tenth of Young Master Xu's achievements, I'd be even more arrogant than him!"

"This differential treatment is so great! Chinese citizens all get 50 million dollars, and foreigners all get 20 million dollars, that's over 140 million!"

"That's too much, but would anyone be willing to pay? Even 50 million RMB is an astronomical figure, right?"

"Heh, fifty million? What fool would be willing to do that?"

"Kid, you're the fool. Do you know what Young Master Xu's latest paper means? According to some authoritative figures in the industry, a trillion-dollar hot topic will soon emerge, along with countless opportunities. If you can seize just one, you'll never have to worry for the rest of your life!"

“My husband and I run a company in Turkey and Switzerland. We’ve already started planning. He developed several AI tools in the first half of the year, and we’ve earned about three million US dollars in the past six months. Now we’re just waiting for this new hot trend!”

"Me too, the people around me have already started preparing."

"Putting everything else aside, related sectors in the A-share market are bound to explode tomorrow."

People were talking a lot.

After another surge in popularity, Xu Gongzi's account has reached 40 million followers, and many people have specifically followed this account.

After all, Young Master Xu is just too awesome.

Moreover, Mr. Xu's speech is rather arrogant and has a strong personality, which many people find quite interesting.

Actually, people don't dislike arrogant people. As long as the person has real skills and is really capable, then their arrogance is just a sign of individuality. You can't be so incompetent and yet boast so much, that would be ridiculous.

Is anyone now stepping forward to genuinely and logically question Young Master Xu?
not at all.

Mr. Xu has published a world-class paper, and ordinary people have no right to question it. This is not like writing an article. It's okay if you think it's bad, because reading is subjective. Not everyone thinks world classics are good, which is normal.

But these are top-tier papers, and ordinary people are not qualified to question them. You are not even a PhD, you can't even get past the threshold, which means you don't even have the research and academic abilities, so you can't question them.

Those who are engaged in scientific research are even less likely to question him; they can tell at a glance what level Young Master Xu is at.

Laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

Xu Lin's skills are extremely advanced.

A little late.

Pei Danqing's message came again.

"We at CCTV would like to interview you and are trying to contact you. Would you like to go?"

"No, I'll keep a low profile for now. But when it comes to people, I'm still quite high-profile in my actions."

"It's okay, I don't want you to go either."

Pei Danqing said, "You've achieved so much now. I'm worried about you getting into trouble when you go abroad. You're fine here in China, but you still need to be careful."

"Don't worry, I'm very careful."

Xu Lin heard that it must be a very powerful big shot.

They have bodyguards.

Those bodyguards were dispatched by the government; they were top-tier imperial guards.

For example, while you are sleeping, he sits in the room, motionless all night, not sleeping, protecting you at all times, and ready to sacrifice himself at any moment.

This isn't a female bodyguard, much less a beautiful bodyguard. Why is this being so frivolous?
They are all soldiers with top-notch overall qualities, extremely capable in combat, and as steadfast as robots in obeying all orders, ready to act at any time and prepared to sacrifice themselves at any time.

But Xu Lin hasn't reached that level yet, so he wouldn't have bodyguards unless he paid for them himself.

Say.

Even your bodyguards can't beat me, so why does Xu Lin need bodyguards?
Xu Lin's paper continues to gain traction.

The last paper hadn't been going on for long, and I didn't expect that Mr. Xu would already be submitting a second one.

Moreover, this paper is even more groundbreaking. While others are still researching serious artificial intelligence, constantly strengthening its capabilities, or delving into large models, someone has emerged who first proposed a self-thinking model for artificial intelligence, and now, he has begun to study the issue of intelligent life.

The key point is that they weren't just bragging.

While the nation revels in celebration, the Western world is in turmoil.

In the field of artificial intelligence, only major powers around the world are playing this game, and even only the two major powers, China and the United States, are playing it. Europe is lagging behind.

Now, a very talented artificial intelligence scientist has emerged, and he has appeared in the East.

How could the West possibly sit idly by?
Who is this young master Xu?

And even more importantly...

Where is Young Master Xu?
Many people are trying to find Xu Lin.

Ordinary people, let alone large companies, can forget about finding Xu Lin.

However, Xu Lin has technical means, so it is difficult to find his address through technical means.

Don't forget, he's also a top-tier hacker. He can do everything that hackers can do, and he can even do things that hackers can't.

Therefore, generally speaking, it is almost impossible for others to find him.

But someone will always find him.

Chen Yuhe, the mother-in-law, knew that Xu Lin was the young master Xu.

After returning home that day, Chen Yuhe mentioned it to Chi Linyue's father.

The son-in-law is a young man, the boy who saved his daughter-in-law before.

Chi Linyue's father had an impression of her.

Chen Yuhe added that the boy is a well-known young man online, named Mr. Xu.

Chi Linyue's father works in the central government; he is a high-ranking official in Beijing.

Such important figures would naturally not take what this young man did seriously; it was just petty squabbles.

However, Chen Yuhe also said that his name was also Xu Gongzi.

A rising star in the field of artificial intelligence.

"That's very promising!"

The older generation always says that science and technology are the primary productive forces.

Chi Boyan finally noticed Xu Lin, but didn't pay much attention to him.

And then again, this time.

The higher-ups finally noticed this young master Xu and decided to take him seriously.

"Is this young master Xu our son-in-law?"

Didn't I tell you last time?

The couple rarely spoke on the phone late at night.

Chi Boyan is a very busy man and rarely calls his family.

In front of him was a computer screen displaying a photo of Xu Lin.

Actually, he had never met Xu Lin. He had seen the photos Chen Yuhe posted before, but he had only glanced at them.

Because he trusted his wife, Chen Yuhe believed that since she had already approved of the man, then he must be a good person.

"He's so young?"

"Otherwise, is he some bald, middle-aged man? Yueyue's boyfriend, our son-in-law."

Chi Boyan unconsciously touched his hair; thankfully, his hair was thick.

"I mean, are you sure this boy is Young Master Xu?"

"Correct."

"So young! How old is she again?"

"Nineteen, I guess, about seven years younger than Yueyue."

The couple were clearly on different wavelengths; Chen Yuhe was referring to her son-in-law, while Chi Boyan was referring to Xu Gongzi.

Although it's the same person, Xu Lin, their identities are not the same. Being a son-in-law is a family matter, while being Young Master Xu is a matter of state, and the latter is far more important.

"Actually, we in the capital are also looking for this person and want him to come to the capital."

"Is there a problem?"

"No, I just want to meet him. He's a national-level talent, so we should treat him well."

"Why don't you ask Yueyue? Don't call her directly and scare her."

"Okay, let's stop here for now."

The two ended the call.

Not long after, Chi Linyue's phone rang, and it was her father again.

For Chi Linyue, a phone call from Chi Boyan was also a rare treat.

"dad?"

"Is that Mr. Xu your boyfriend?"

"What are you doing with him?"

“It’s the country that’s looking for him, not his father.”

Chi Boyan explained the situation.

“I’ll ask him, but I can’t guarantee he’ll agree to go to the capital.”

Soon, Xu Lin received a call from Chi Linyue.

"Going to Beijing?"

"do you want to go?"

"This isn't a question of whether I want to go or not. I'll go."

He was going to the capital sooner or later anyway; he'd already come this far.

Even if Xu Lin doesn't want to go, someone will come to him on their own initiative.

The power of the state apparatus is immense, and finding him isn't actually that difficult; it just takes some time. Xu Lin being a top hacker is useless against him. If top hackers were invincible, the country's security system would have collapsed countless times over.

"When do you want to go?"

"Tomorrow, it's almost National Day, shouldn't I have a holiday? Of course, I should finish everything I need to do before the holiday."

"nervous?"

"No, I'm even a little excited."

After Xu Lin and Chi Linyue ended their call, Xu Lin also told Ning Yuhan and Rong Xiyan that he was going to the capital.

He didn't say what he was going to do specifically, only that he was going to the capital to take care of business.

The next morning, he put on the suit that Pei Danqing had bought for him.

This is Xu Lin's most expensive formal suit, worth 200,000 yuan from head to toe.

In addition, Xu Lin also got a cool slicked-back hairstyle.

When traveling, respect the clothes first, then respect the person.

Now, he is going to the capital, a very special place, to meet a big shot.

Therefore, we must honestly and diligently maintain a good public image.

His flight was at 9:30 a.m.

We arrived at the airport more than two hours later.

Then someone came to pick him up.

Passersby noticed that it was a Hongqi car with a very special license plate, and that it was there to pick up a young man.

People couldn't see clearly because Xu Lin had already boarded the bus.

But no one took photos indiscriminately.

"Old Chi, this rising star in the field of artificial intelligence, the whole world is looking for him, so he's your son-in-law?"

"I'm quite surprised too."

"Then you might be about to take another step forward soon!"

"Not that much."

"What do you mean it's not necessary? I happen to have a daughter too, how about I have this son-in-law?"

Chi Boyan ignored him.

The man continued, "This young master Xu, I didn't expect him to be such a young man. He walks with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger. He'll be extraordinary in the future. It just so happens that I also know a little about physiognomy."

Chi Boyan watched Xu Lin walk over, his eyes flickering.

This was the first time he had seen this young man.

A young man who looks very special; the books he has read seem insufficient to describe him.

As his father-in-law, he certainly passed Xu Lin's test the moment he saw him.
