Five minutes later, after seeing Su Mucheng's reply, Liu Chenfeng swiftly forwarded the link sent to him by Xu Dajiang.
"Su, just now the dean suddenly asked me to find a way to show Qiao Ze this article and even print it out. I thought about it for a long time and decided direct is better, so could you help me show this article to Qiao Ze? Um... And make sure the dean doesn't find out, okay?"
After sending that message, feeling it wasn't secure enough, Liu Chenfeng added a "you know what I mean" emoji.
"Got it!" Su Mucheng replied with three words.
Liu Chenfeng blissfully laid down on his bed.
A life without boring things causing stress is the most comfortable.
But just as he lay down, his cellphone rang with a WeChat notification.
He was too lazy to check it, but thinking it might be a message from his boss's wife, he still struggled to pick up his phone.
"Haha, Dean Xu is too funny; he should go do weather forecasts, specifically for yesterday's weather!"
Beyond that message, the other side also sent a GIF of someone laughing so hard they were crying.
Honestly, Liu Chenfeng could understand the meaning of Su Mucheng's words, but what she was trying to express, he didn't quite comprehend.
Yet, he felt an intense urge to screenshot this appraisal and send it to his own supervisor.
Luckily, he resisted.
Compared to watching the fun, graduating smoothly was just a tad more important.
So he sent back a sheepish smile emoji and decisively set his phone to Do Not Disturb mode.
He couldn't continue the chat, fearing that Su Mucheng might send some heavenly critique that he couldn't resist doing something foolish over.
Using Xu Dajiang's words, he was indeed getting a bit carried away lately.
"Hanna, you're here." The next morning, just as Su Mucheng had made herself a cup of milk tea, she saw Hanna walking into Qiao Ze's office with a stack of documents.
Within the whole research group, Mu Cheng had always gotten along well with Hanna.
The main reason was that they were the only two female members in the group.
It's just that Mu Cheng had a special status and preferred hanging around Qiao Ze, so the two of them didn't interact much.
However, whenever there was a chance, Mu Cheng liked to run over and chat with Hanna about all sorts of things.
"Yes, I'm here to give Qiao Ze the reports for this period; he asked me to come this morning," Hanna answered rather mechanically, and even winked at Mu Cheng.
She didn't care much about staying on, so there was no need to be too cautious about some things.
Especially since, in Hanna's view, Qiao Ze was not good enough for Su Mucheng.
Before coming to Huaxia, she was full of curiosity about Qiao Ze, but after interacting with him for some time, she found Qiao to be as expressive as a piece of wood.
Perhaps Qiao Ze was indeed great at academia and writing papers, but who could live with a piece of wood their whole life?
What disappointed her was that Mu Cheng didn't seem to have any doubts and even waved to Qiao Ze, who was busy setting up a new server: "Qiao Ze, Hanna is here to see you. Do you need to talk privately?"
"No, wait three minutes," Qiao Ze answered without turning his head.
"Hanna, please take a seat and wait; when Qiao Ze says three minutes, it definitely means only three minutes. It's not an imaginary number," Su Mucheng explained on behalf of Qiao Ze.
"Okay," Hanna put the documents directly on the desk in front of Qiao Ze before sitting next to Su Mucheng.
Looking at the cheerful Mu Cheng, she suddenly wanted to save this misguided girl, although it wasn't the time.
She thought bitterly and then glared at Qiao Ze, who was immersed in his work.
Qiao Ze was fiddling with the new server provided by Li Jiangao.
Using the five hundred thousand in research funds from the school, he also added some paper award money from the school.
Qiao Ze planned to transfer the Dou Dou server, which was exclusively used by him and Su Mucheng, to the new server and do some optimization, which would be like having a smart assistant for the two of them.
Although Group Wisdom's voice assistant on the M60P was useful, since it was aimed at the general public, it had to consider too many policy issues, like privacy violations that were widely attacked online, which led to the disabling of some features before widespread release.
Take, for instance, the chat app hosting function.
This was something Qiao didn't need, but Mu Cheng liked a lot.
With Dou Dou's help, whenever the class advisor sent a message in the WeChat group that required a response, she, as the student representative, wouldn't miss it. That's because Dou Dou could not only respond on her behalf but also intelligently determine whether to notify its owner.
Even if there was no need to notify, it would copy the content to its dynamic database and alert the owner at an appropriate time.
What's most important is that Dou Dou's chatting abilities were no less impressive than hers. If she was losing an argument on WeChat, she could let Dou Dou take over and just set aside her phone.
After waiting about ten or twenty minutes and checking WeChat again, one would often feel a gratifying sense of satisfaction.
This was all tested by Su Mucheng.
Relying on big data, when Dou Dou went all out, it would keep trying different angles and methods to dismantle the logic of the other person persistently until it found a way that made the other person break down. It was particularly useful.
Especially when the other person was enraged to the extreme or even started cursing, Dou Dou's reactions were quite endearing.
Not only could it remain calm, but it could also make the other side feel the full brunt of the world's malice without using a single profanity. And when the opponent was exhausted, Dou Dou would press the attack until the other person blocked her of their own accord.
