Chapter 166 Innovative Technologies
Ye Lin sat on the other side of Bai Li, smiling gently with concern in her eyes, and asked softly, "Bai Li, how long will you be staying this time?"
Bai Li said somewhat embarrassedly, "I originally came back to complete the procedures for resuming my studies, but due to some personal reasons, I may have to take a break from school for a while longer."
Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of regret.
Tangtang pouted and said, "Oh, why are you like this? We want to spend more time with you!"
The other roommates were unaware of Bai Li's amazing identity, but Tang Tang did.
Bai Li is that Bai Li!
The female president of Day and Night Entertainment Company.
The recently popular trailer for "Asking Immortals" was produced by Bai Li Company, and the theme song was even composed by Bai Li herself.
Because Bai Li herself has kept her identity very private and has never shown her face online, she has remained extremely low-key, so her identity as the CEO of Bai Li Entertainment Company has not been exposed at the university.
For most people, unless they are seasoned professionals who have in-depth knowledge of the entertainment industry and pay special attention to the dynamics of entertainment companies day and night, it is difficult for anyone to pay special attention to the name of an entertainment company CEO.
Even if someone occasionally notices it, it's hard to associate it with Bai Li, after all, Bai Li is too young.
Only Tang Tang, who happened to become Bai Li's roommate by chance, and who is also a fan of celebrities and loves gossip, was able to guess Bai Li's identity.
Although she hadn't been able to meet Bai Li for a while, Tang Tang kept up with Bai Li's updates online.
Now that Bai Li says she won't be coming back to school for a while, she understands best. Bai Li must be too busy at work to continue her studies.
"It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!" she thought to herself.
While I was still working hard on my studies on campus, not yet having entered society and experienced the taste of work, Bai Li was already making waves in the business world, running her company with great success.
In Tangtang's opinion, given Baili's current status and achievements, going to school seems to be just a way for her to satisfy her personal interests and hobbies.
What frustrated Tang Tang even more was that she was the only one who knew these shocking secrets about Bai Li.
Bai Li specifically told her to keep it a secret, which made Tang Tang, who loves gossip, very anxious.
Every time she chatted with her roommates, the words were already on the tip of her tongue, but when she thought of her promise to Bai Li, she had to swallow them back. It felt like an invisible hand was tightly covering her mouth, making her extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, Tang Tang glanced at Ying Xiangyang sitting next to Bai Li, and couldn't help but wonder:
I wonder if Ying Xiangyang knows Bai Li's true identity?
She used to think the two of them were a good match, but ever since she learned about Bai Li's identity, she immediately felt that Ying Xiangyang was a bit too good for him. It wasn't that Ying Xiangyang was bad, it was just that Bai Li was too good.
Just then, Bai Li felt the heat of the hot pot restaurant and took off her coat, revealing a gray cashmere sweater underneath.
Because Bai Li has a great figure with a curvy figure, this cashmere sweater perfectly showcases her physical advantages.
Her slender waist was accentuated, making her appear even more delicate, her full breasts looked even more upright, and her pert buttocks were outlined perfectly.
Tang Tang stared wide-eyed, silently biting her handkerchief in her mind.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and this applies to people of the same sex as well.
There was not a trace of jealousy, only a deep sense of powerlessness.
Waaah, the white-haired guy outside got a good deal.
Although Tang Tang's inner monologues are quite dramatic, outsiders can't perceive them.
Upon hearing that Bai Li wouldn't be returning to school anytime soon, Zhou Yue, who was at the dinner table, immediately said enthusiastically, "In that case, we must have a good get-together today! It's a rare opportunity."
Bai Li sat at the table, but always felt like something was missing.
She subconsciously glanced around, her eyes darting through the bustling crowd, and then deliberately looked at another table several times, searching carefully before confirming that Shen Shi was indeed not there.
Shen Shi also left a deep impression on her. As the top student in the dormitory, she seemed cold, but she was a very warm person.
Bai Li turned to Tang Tang and asked, "Where's Shen Shi?"
Tang Tang was still lost in her own world when she heard Bai Li's question. She didn't react for a moment before finally saying "Oh".
She remembered that Bai Li didn't know about Shen Shi's situation, slapped her forehead, and quickly explained:
"Shen Shi has been summoned to participate in a classified project, the kind that's national-level! You know, national-level projects have extremely high confidentiality requirements and a series of strict security measures. She's currently restricted from entering and leaving, so she can't attend today's gathering."
Bai Li seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked, "Does our school have national-level projects?"
Tang Tang leaned forward slightly and began to explain to Bai Li: "The momentum of AI information technology is particularly strong abroad. In order not to fall behind in this area, China is also making great efforts to develop it."
Tang Tang paused for a moment, then continued, "Our school happens to be a pilot project base, mainly researching cutting-edge artificial intelligence topics. Because it requires innovative thinking, we've selected a few students to go there."
She wasn't actually very familiar with the project, and only had a superficial understanding of what she knew, but she still tried her best to tell Bai Li what she knew.
"As soon as Shen Shi heard that she could earn academic credits, she signed up. However, this program is not one that just anyone can join. I heard that it has very high requirements for students' abilities and requires going through multiple rounds of screening."
New AI technologies...
As Bai Li listened to Tang Tang's explanation, she couldn't help but recall the UR prize she had drawn from the Wheel of Fortune—[LEED Platinum Certified Advanced Research Institute].
If I remember correctly, this research institute is specifically for studying artificial intelligence.
Now that the university has a national-level classified project researching cutting-edge artificial intelligence, this research institute might come in very handy.
She hadn't redeemed it before because she simply didn't have the extra energy to manage a research institute; the energy supply and staffing required for its operation were major problems.
However, if the research institute could be directly converted and used by schools or the country, then we wouldn't have to independently undertake and coordinate these matters.
The university possesses abundant academic resources and a large pool of research talent, and the country can provide strong policy support and financial guarantees, all of which are advantages that she alone cannot match.
Moreover, doing so can also contribute to enhancing the country's scientific research capabilities.
It seems I need to go back and contact the school.
Bai Li silently made a decision in her heart.
However, this matter needs to be handled with caution, as there are still many details to be discussed and planned.
Ying Xiangyang glanced at Bai Li from the side, and judging from her expression, he knew that she was thinking about something important again.
One of the biggest taboos when eating hot pot is getting distracted.
If you lose focus, the food in the pot will be snatched up by everyone in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, it's a hotpot party for college students, so being fully focused and quick-witted are essential.
However, Ying Xiangyang knew that Bai Li's thinking was different from others.
When others are daydreaming or spacing out, it might just mean their thoughts have wandered off, but when Bai Li starts thinking seriously, it's highly likely she's encountered something truly important.
So, although he was a little worried that Bai Li wouldn't have enough to eat, he really couldn't bear to interrupt her train of thought.
Using his speed and skill as a ten-year veteran FPS player, Ying Xiangyang grabbed several slices of beef and put them in Bai Li's bowl.
Bai Li suddenly noticed several slices of steaming beef in front of her. She finally snapped out of her daze, turned her head, and looked at Ying Xiangyang with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
At this point, their relationship had become quite close, and a simple "thank you" would seem too formal.
So, she silently nudged Ying Xiangyang with her shoulder, expressing her gratitude in an intimate but subtle way.
Ying Xiangyang's body trembled slightly when Bai Li gently squeezed him.
He looked down at Bai Li. From his angle, the cashmere sweater Bai Li was wearing perfectly outlined her figure, and her fair neck was even more charming against the backdrop of the clothes.
Coupled with Bai Li's unintentional intimate gesture, Ying Xiangyang felt his ears getting slightly hot.
If this were a private setting, he would have been unable to restrain himself long ago, but this was in public with many people around, so he could only try his best to control himself, avert his gaze, gently push Bai Li back, and said helplessly, "Stop fooling around."
----------------------------------
The young couple thought no one would notice their actions.
But it's actually really eye-catching, the eyes are all drool-like!
This is similar to how students used to think they were hiding their little distractions in class, and that the teacher wouldn't notice them from the podium, but in reality, the teacher could see right through them.
Honey Badger also noticed the sweet interaction between Yang Ge and Bai Li, and was silently moved.
This beautiful love story owes a debt to my help!
